00:05that family they're not what they showed the world it wasn't me and Tomas they've got a solid
00:11alibi you know what he did yeah but what if he didn't what if Bergerac really did try to
00:16falsify that evidence I hear you have a story for me where did you go back to work grief was
00:21finding me because I was a mess because I needed to prove something you're gonna talk weren't we
00:27and yeah we will you keep saying that Ellie these photographs were on your phone they're
00:31of the Wakefield house did you take Kate sent them to me so Kate's got a second phone the last
00:35text
00:36that Kate sent to Ellie well if you won't expose Arthur I will whoever killed Kate will be brought
00:42to justice I'm missing Zumba for this well you don't need it you look top-notch
00:58that came out wrong I didn't adjust
01:07good morning good morning good morning um right uh I just went to the uh the opera house where I
01:16had to
01:16track down the guy with the keys and uh get him out of bed first so uh on the night
01:21that Kate was
01:22murdered Arthur and Julian Wakefield are set up here yeah in the box yeah Margaret is down there
01:29in the stalls and we've got witnesses saying that Arthur and Julian didn't leave the box during the
01:34performance but when the lights are down during the performance you can't actually see into the box so
01:39Arthur and Julian could have left and no one would have said yeah but we spoke to the ushers who
01:44said
01:44that nobody left until the interval so outside the box there is a short corridor with two doors one
01:50door leads to the um uh what do you call it the the landing the the dress circle another door
01:56opens
01:57onto a stairwell down a fire escape leading to an alleyway behind the theater so Arthur could have
02:03slipped out of the box down the fire escape back to the house killed Kate back to the theater mingled
02:09in
02:09with the crowds after the interval and absolutely no one would have seen them or Julian you said
02:14Arthur could have slipped out but Julian could have too yeah Arthur or Julian yeah I said that oh
02:18Margaret come to that well no Margaret's the only one with an alibi that we can corroborate because
02:22there was an usher on duty outside the door to the stalls all evening uh no Arthur and Julian both
02:26gave statements that says that neither one left the box throughout the performance yeah I know
02:30and we just believe them influential high status individuals they're like yeah it wasn't us and we're
02:36like yeah I mean I guess it rules them out Jim yeah except now that we know that Arthur not
02:39only does
02:40he have a motive because Kate was going to expose him as a fraud he also had opportunity as well
02:45well
02:46you're right about one thing Arthur Wakefield is a high status individual he's a former member of
02:53the states not to mention the advisory committees he's on it doesn't mean that he's above the law it
02:57means we have to tread carefully fine well I promise I'll play nice
03:05you promise you'll play nice when well I want to arrest him absolutely not you see this this right
03:11here this is how they get away with it hey yes rich powerful men guilty men because everyone is too
03:16scared to stand up to them yes you're right I'm quite the establishment stooge well I want to search
03:20his house then come on Kate had a second secret phone that she's just she's hidden somewhere I mean
03:25who knows what we're going to find on that Kate wouldn't hide a phone containing compromising
03:30information about Arthur in his house yes but if he killed her he could have taken it
03:37fine but don't antagonize him new line of inquiry really appreciate his cooperation all that
03:44uh thinking about this maybe it is best Jim is lead on this yeah I mean it's his suspects his
03:51theory it's incredibly selfish of you thank you Barney where are we with the ransom money
03:56I've been in touch with the banks the high-end stores that money will pop up sooner or later
03:59keep me posted go away thank you watch him I don't want to spend the rest of my career
04:07teaching school kids how to cross the road
04:15so
04:23so
04:23so
04:23so
04:23so
04:23so
04:23so
04:23I don't know.
04:56Oh, sorry for the intrusion, Mr. Wakefield.
05:00As a result of new information which has come to life, we've obtained a warrant to search the property for
05:04digital and electronic devices belonging to Kate Wakefield.
05:07Let's not be coy, DCI Bergerac. We both know what's going on here.
05:11Did you know that Kate was in contact with Ellie Robson?
05:15Ellie had shared her concerns about your purchase of her father's company.
05:22I don't know what Ellie would have gained from that, but her Robsons had hired a team of lawyers to
05:29go through the contract line by line.
05:32Kate, she was a lifeguard from Coventry.
05:36Had they missed something, I hardly think she'd be the person to find it.
05:40Fond of her, though I was.
05:42Anyway, tell your officers to help themselves to tea and coffee, and I think Margaret might have left out some
05:49biscuits.
05:54Bonnie.
05:58Look, I've got to go, I've got a thing, and then I'm having lunch at my door, so I'll be
06:01back about to...
06:02Well, where? What about the search?
06:04Well, keep going.
06:05You never know, you might find that phone.
06:08He's up to something.
06:09Yeah.
06:11Probably looked like I was hiding there, but I had to search that area.
06:27We've got a suspect.
06:30He's powerful.
06:32He's connected.
06:34He's a bit of a bully.
06:37And so bringing charges against him is going to be a challenge.
06:41Sounds like quite a breakthrough.
06:43It is, yeah, it is.
06:45And so this is a distraction, just if I'm honest.
06:50It's a split focus.
06:51So you'd like to stop?
06:52Look, I am stable.
06:57I'm sober.
06:59You know, I'm meeting Kim later for lunch.
07:02We're going to talk about her mum.
07:03I'm actually going to initiate that.
07:05I'm better at this than I thought?
07:07Yeah, you are.
07:08And so you can tell her that I'm fixed, yeah?
07:11Why don't you tell her?
07:12It would be better coming from you, I think.
07:14But, hey, I can, um, do you have, like, Yelp reviews?
07:17I could leave a good review.
07:18I'd be very happy to do that.
07:22And what about tomorrow?
07:24Well, I just said I won't be coming.
07:25Your mental state tomorrow.
07:28See, grief is like a minefield.
07:31You're fine, you're walking along, click, you're in pieces.
07:34I know there might be some bad days.
07:37I don't think you know how bad.
07:43I lost my wife, too.
07:47Nine years ago.
07:48Heart attack.
07:50She was 36.
07:55I'm, I'm sorry.
07:58I was, uh, well, you can imagine.
08:03I was not a person.
08:06I was just grief.
08:09Patron saint of grief.
08:11A therapist saved my life.
08:13Literally.
08:14It's, it's why I became one.
08:17And it's why I offered to take you on as a client.
08:21You asked for me?
08:23Well, no, I mean, that sounds, no.
08:24Uma sent a request out to a bunch of us,
08:27and I guess I was the one who responded first.
08:29But, but, but the reason I did so was because you've been here.
08:35And I have a map with the way out.
08:40You are in a different world now.
08:44Different rules apply.
08:51First of May, 2014, Sophie Armstrong is abducted.
08:55Sophie's found by Bergerac on the 4th of May.
08:59She identifies you by your voice.
09:03So you're arrested, your house searched, your car seized.
09:07But they don't have enough to charge you, so you're released.
09:11This is a request to search your car by Bergerac.
09:16On the 7th of May.
09:18When they find a strand of what is later discovered to be Sophie's hair.
09:23You're charged, you go to court, you go to prison.
09:28You were smart, though.
09:31Getting your lawyer to request all the evidence under the Freedom of Information Act.
09:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:35I mean, he went from this, he said there wasn't anything reliable that we could use in an appeal.
09:40Yeah.
09:40The problem is, your lawyer is an idiot.
09:43I kept thinking, if there's a request to search John's car, there must be one for his house.
09:49There isn't.
09:50You know why?
09:51It's so fucking obvious.
09:53Searches are automatic.
09:54When someone's arrested, police can search any property in their possession or control.
09:59So I looked, and sure enough, a search was done on your car, straight after you were arrested.
10:04And it found nothing.
10:06So this is an additional search, specifically requested by Bergerac.
10:14Which magically produced the evidence.
10:18He planted it.
10:22I knew it.
10:25I knew it.
10:29This hair is literally the only reason that I went to prison.
10:34But this proves it, at least.
10:37He's stitching me up.
10:55It's not enough.
10:56What?
10:57What are you talking about?
10:58This is great.
10:59She's right.
11:02It's still basically John's word versus Bergerac's.
11:04That is not a story.
11:05That is gossip.
11:07Was there anything else?
11:08Not in the police evidence.
11:10But take away forensics and the case gets sketchy.
11:13The victim was blindfolded the whole time, so she could only identify John by his voice.
11:18I'm talking to her later.
11:19Yeah, but in the meantime, you can publish with this, right?
11:21Not really.
11:22There's no follow-up.
11:24You want to release a story in installments, each one getting bigger and worse.
11:29This is just one big sugar hit and then nothing.
11:32There's nowhere to go after this.
11:33Yeah, but with the right campaign, the right push from the newspaper, I mean, that's got to be enough to,
11:37I don't know, get Bergerac suspended, surely.
11:43It doesn't work like that.
11:46Look, you said you had a story for me, and you might.
11:49I just haven't found it yet.
11:51I'll talk to the girl, and then I'll talk to Bergerac, and then we'll see where we are.
11:55Okay?
12:02No pleasing you, is there?
12:04Because we're on the back foot doing these random retaliatory actions.
12:10It was your idea.
12:12Please don't call it an idea.
12:14It was damage limitation.
12:16Just as falling down a flight of stairs and grabbing something is not a strategy.
12:22No, it's survival.
12:28The custody desk called.
12:29Uniform have arrested someone with a wad of the ransom money.
12:32Kara's interviewing them now.
12:38He was trying to buy a five grand watch for cash.
12:41Luckily, we'd issued the serial numbers to all the high-end stores.
12:44The shop owner is suspicious, checks the numbers, and sure enough, it's the ransom money.
12:49He keeps the guy talking while the assistant calls the police.
12:51You think he's working with me and Tomas?
12:53He says he doesn't know them.
12:55Says he didn't know about the abduction or the murder.
12:58He's never even heard of the Wakefields.
13:00Says he was just hired to make the ransom call and grab the money from Julian Wakefield.
13:04Hired by who?
13:05A mate of a mate.
13:06That's conveniently vague.
13:08And at no point he thought this is a bit suspicious.
13:11He thought it was, and I quote, a rich dude sex thing.
13:15Okay, let's massively park that.
13:18Where's the rest of the cash?
13:19He was told to leave it at a parcel drop locker in Almora in time for a pick-up at
13:241.45 today.
13:26Well, it's 20 past.
13:27We need to get eyes on that drop location now.
13:29Yeah, I will get this idiot stowed away in a cell, call Jim and head over.
13:33Uh, Jim is busy having lunch with his daughter and generally sabotaging his career today, I think.
13:39No, this is the first bit of good luck we've had.
13:41Go.
13:41Go, go, go!
13:42Okay.
13:49Sorry, sorry.
13:50Um, I had a, uh, meeting.
13:52It's okay.
13:53That overran.
13:54I, uh, ordered for you.
13:56Full English, no tomatoes, white toast, the happy heart attack, I think they call it.
14:03Perfect.
14:06Um.
14:08I remember when we came here with mum and they forgot the side of bacon and she ordered it with
14:11her veggie breakfast.
14:15Yeah.
14:15Yeah, and she didn't want to be difficult because she knew how busy they were, but my God, she really
14:20wanted that bacon.
14:22Then I laughed at her and she threatened to throw my phone in the sink.
14:27Then you gave her all your bacon and half a sausage and she looked at you all hot eyes.
14:36She always loved a low-grade pork product.
14:41D.C.I. Bergerac.
14:42I was right.
14:44So, I was passing and, um, I saw your car and thought it would be rude not to say hello.
14:48So, uh, who's this?
14:50Kim.
14:51His daughter.
14:54She's beautiful.
14:55Sure she's yours.
14:58She gives us a, like, love.
15:00Why don't we, to, uh, look at the cakes, yeah?
15:04Uh, choose one for Branny.
15:13This is, uh, you can't, uh, do this.
15:18I'm sorry, am I encroaching on your territory?
15:20Is this about this morning?
15:23Jesus.
15:25Sorry for any disruption.
15:27That's why we tried to find out who's killed your daughter-in-law.
15:29I know exactly what you're doing.
15:31You know, you really should get a DNA test.
15:33She's stunning.
15:33Don't you look, don't fucking look at her.
15:39All right?
15:41So, just say what you came here to say.
15:43Well, you're here soon enough.
15:45Ask me what you want to ask me.
15:46Unless, of course, it's did I kill Kate.
15:48Because you won't believe the answer.
15:52Did you even like Kate?
15:54You know, naivety, it's like a mental illness.
15:57It's all skipping through meadows for the person who has it.
15:59And a pain in the ass for the people around them.
16:03That's very moving.
16:06Look at you clutching at pearls.
16:08You know, you're far more ruthless than I could ever be.
16:11In fact, I think you're the most dangerous man I've ever met.
16:18Hey, you're back.
16:19What did you go for?
16:20Uh, death by chocolate.
16:22Good choice.
16:24What a way to go.
16:26It's nice to meet you, Kim.
16:28And I'll see you soon.
16:31DCI Bergeron.
16:35Where is he?
16:36Uh, just...
16:39Just somebody connected to the case.
16:46Um...
16:47I'm just gonna...
16:48I just...
16:49Well, I just need to...
16:50To meet.
16:51I just need to...
16:53I just need to go...
16:53...
17:19Boss?
17:20Hey, look, something I needed to do.
17:23Check all traffic, CCTV and speed cameras
17:26for any car connected to the Wakefields
17:28during the opera performance.
17:29Every possible route from the theatre to their house.
17:32Can you get Simon to do that?
17:34I'm not the station.
17:35Why? Where are you now?
17:42I need to go.
17:43I'm really sorry.
17:44There's been a...
17:45Something's come up at work and I need to be there.
17:47Yeah, sure, no worries.
17:48Yeah, but I can drop you home.
17:49Sorry, at Granny's first.
17:53I'm so sorry.
17:56Honestly, Dad, it's fine.
18:09Shit.
18:10He's early.
18:13Kara?
18:13Suspect has picked up the bag.
18:15Should we intercept?
18:16How long till backup?
18:17Fifteen minutes.
18:18We'll lose him if we don't go now.
18:21Pick him up now.
18:21I'm on my way.
18:23Okay, ready?
18:25Let's go.
18:29You stay in the car, okay?
18:30Whatever happens.
18:31Why?
18:31What may happen?
18:32Nothing.
18:34Just stay in the car.
18:46Shit!
18:49Stop!
18:49Elise!
19:06Hey!
19:09Dad!
19:10Dad!
19:28Kim!
19:31I'm okay.
19:34Julian.
19:40Julian.
20:00I'm so sorry, love.
20:02It's not your fault.
20:03You told me to stay in the garage.
20:05You shouldn't have been anywhere near there.
20:09You go, I'll handle this.
20:10I'll talk to her.
20:12It's fine.
20:14The secret is, don't break eye conduct.
20:18We got caught up in something, and I told her to stay in the car.
20:22So it's her fault?
20:24No.
20:25No.
20:27Okay, look, I didn't mean that.
20:30I was arresting someone, and they made a break for it.
20:36And they ran into her.
20:40I know what you're doing.
20:42Yeah.
20:42I've interviewed much scarier people than you, Charlie.
20:45Much more intimidating people than you.
20:47So this...
20:48This won't work.
20:52Do me a favor and step away from the knife.
20:56You and I have had our disagreements.
20:59But I never thought Kim was unsafe with you.
21:02Of course, of course she is safe.
21:04With me.
21:05Jesus.
21:06But she'll be scarred, Jim.
21:08No, she won't.
21:09What?
21:11It's...
21:12Tiny.
21:12It might not even be a scar.
21:14Look, I feel like shit about it.
21:15I am aware of how it looks.
21:17It won't happen again.
21:19How do you know?
21:20Because I will...
21:21be more aware.
21:24Things are spiraling, Jim.
21:26What things?
21:27No...
21:29No, they're not.
21:31You can go now.
21:32Are you dismissing me?
21:33Is that what's...
21:34I'm being dismissed.
21:34Yep.
21:36Right.
21:39She is fine.
21:52Is Julian's lawyer here yet?
21:54He says he doesn't want one.
21:56He doesn't want one?
21:58It would be a Wakefield lawyer, wouldn't it?
22:00Someone from the firm they use cheese.
22:02He doesn't want his father to know he's been arrested.
22:03This family.
22:04They are insane.
22:07Wait.
22:08You can't interview him yet.
22:10We need to search the annex first.
22:11No.
22:11Forensics have been there for a week.
22:13You know what I mean.
22:14Look, we can't risk Arthur getting suspicious.
22:17I don't want him to know about Julian either.
22:19Not yet.
22:20It'll be fine.
22:21Honest.
22:25So, let me get this straight.
22:27You paid someone to ransom your own daughter.
22:32Hmm?
22:32Did you also pay me and Tomas to kidnap her as well?
22:34No.
22:36I just, um, took advantage of the situation.
22:41You'll have to help us out here.
22:42I was walking past her room when I saw Tomas take her and, um, I went to stop him.
22:49Of course.
22:50And then I stopped.
22:53Why?
22:55Because I knew that she would be safer with them than with me.
23:01You see, what it is is that I, um, I owe some money.
23:05Or someone thinks that I owe them some money.
23:07And I do owe them some money, but I want it written down that it is not fair, you see.
23:11Who?
23:12I can't tell you that.
23:14Have they threatened you?
23:16They've done more than that.
23:17Do you think they killed Kate?
23:19I think you better tell us their name.
23:21Don't you?
23:22Uh, Rashini Wilson?
23:25She, uh, she runs this card game from the back of...
23:30Back of her little arcade.
23:31We know Rashini.
23:32But it wasn't very much at first.
23:34It was...
23:36And I had this losing streak.
23:38Um?
23:39How much?
23:40Well, let me guess.
23:42250,000.
23:43She said that she would wait and extend my credit.
23:47She said I just needed one big win or a few big wins.
23:52But, yeah.
23:53She stopped waiting.
23:55Why didn't you ask your father for the money?
23:58You've met my father.
24:00And that would have been worse than Jesus.
24:05This?
24:06You don't know what he can be like.
24:09What can he be like?
24:12Julian.
24:15That's what I'm prepared to say right now.
24:18Rashini Wilson.
24:19Where to start?
24:20Lone sharking.
24:21Bit of pimping.
24:22Bit of dealing.
24:23But her primary income stream are the private poker games that she holds in the back room of her arcade
24:29in Armora.
24:30Guests play the house and losses are collected at the little cash booth in the arcade.
24:35500 pounds for a one pound token.
24:38Any debt collection is delegated so she keeps her hands clean.
24:43She's one of the nastiest criminals in Jersey, but she is smart, so not so much as a parking ticket
24:48to her name.
24:48We've discovered that Julian Wakefield is in debt to her for 250,000 pounds.
24:54None of this is Rashini's style.
24:56There'd be indicators.
24:57We'd know.
24:58That's right.
24:59Usually when she takes a drill to someone's kneecap, she leaves behind a silk glove.
25:03I'm saying she doesn't kill people.
25:05Well, for a quarter of a million pounds, she might diversify.
25:08To what end?
25:09To scare Julian Wakefield.
25:10To say, pay up or you're next.
25:12No.
25:14I'm not gonna sell this to you, Jim.
25:16We are talking to her.
25:27Go, go!
25:28Go!
25:30You took a break.
25:35Get down!
25:37Get down!
25:38Stay away!
25:40Go!
25:42Oh, God!
25:42No.
25:44Yeah, OK?
25:47Oh, God.
25:58Look at all space.
26:22Good afternoon, Mrs. Wilson.
26:24I'm Detective Inspector Crozier.
26:25Can you tell me where you were on the evening of Tuesday the 3rd of September
26:28between 7.30 p.m. and 10.30 p.m.?
26:31Before I answer that, I need you to tell me if I'm under caution.
26:33No, not yet.
26:36I was here.
26:37Well, we'll need access to your CCTV then, so we can pull all the data.
26:41Is that Jim Bergerat lurking back there?
26:43Get that beautiful face over here.
26:47Pashini?
26:49D.I. Crozier wants to look at my CCTV.
26:52How far back do you want to go?
26:54Just as far as last Tuesday.
26:56I'll tell you what, let's round it up to two weeks.
27:02Last Tuesday will be fine.
27:06You know, it would help if I knew what this was about.
27:09It's about the murder of Kate Wakefield.
27:11Murder?
27:12Come on.
27:13We know that Julian was a regular here, we know that he owed you a lot of money,
27:16and we also know that you subcontract people to encourage debt recovery.
27:21There's an implication there I'm not thrilled with.
27:23It's a murder investigation, Pashini.
27:26For what it's worth, I don't think murder is your style, but we can be a real ball egg.
27:30Yeah, we can poke around your finances, we can issue warrants to search your properties.
27:33So why don't you answer our questions, you can save everyone a ton of paperwork,
27:36and then you and your buddies can enjoy the rest of your day.
27:39If someone owes me money, it's their debt.
27:41Not their wives, not their kids.
27:43When was Julian last here?
27:44Three weeks ago.
27:46Let's just say he did not have a good night.
27:48Okay, was that when you told him you were calling in his debt?
27:49No, that was Tuesday night.
27:53He called, asked if I could raise a mistake, said he got a short hip on the horses,
27:58and if it came in, he could clear his debts.
28:01So he called you?
28:02When was this?
28:05Here we go.
28:078.22pm, seven-minute call.
28:10Is that a landline number?
28:11Old school.
28:12We're going to need that.
28:14If I'm not under caution, I don't need to give you anything.
28:17But I'll tell you what, I'll take a screenshot and send it over.
28:20Did you give him the stake?
28:21He already owed me $2.50.
28:23Even I have my limits.
28:24So you threatened him?
28:25I said we've reached the end of our friendship.
28:28How he chose to interpret that is up to him.
28:31Thanks for your help.
28:32Anytime.
28:34But you know that.
28:41She just drove a bus through Arthur Wakefield's alibi.
28:44Jim.
28:45If Julian was on the phone to Roshini, then he wasn't in the opera box.
28:47Why is she asking us about footage from two weeks ago?
28:51Okay.
28:53I was here.
28:54No, I had a drink with her.
28:55I had one drink with her.
28:56I wasn't in a good place.
28:57Well, no wonder you didn't want us to speak to her then.
28:59No, I didn't think she was a credible suspect.
29:01Barney, I still don't.
29:03Come on, Kate's murder was chaotic.
29:04It was impassioned.
29:05It was personal.
29:06Jim!
29:07Fucking focus.
29:08Roshini Wilson is a violent criminal who threatened the husband of the deceased.
29:12That is what we call a solid and compelling lead.
29:15And you would know that if you weren't so lost down this Arthur Wakefield rabbit hole.
29:21You used to be better at this.
29:30I heard someone opening a door and I thought it was Blakely.
29:40Then he started to take my blindfold off and I was terrified.
29:47I'd seen a film where the kidnapper has to kill the hostage because she sees him.
29:53And so I heard my eyes were like clamped shut.
29:56And then he said my name and I realized that it was Jim, not Blakely.
30:06So you were blindfolded the whole time?
30:12Yeah, um, when he grabbed me, put a bag over my head, um.
30:22But you never saw his face.
30:26So, Devil's Advocate, how did you know it was John Blakely?
30:30I recognize his voice.
30:32Yeah, talk me through that.
30:33How did that happen?
30:33Like, did you just hear his voice and, like, know it was him?
30:38Or did somebody play it for you?
30:41Maybe Jim Bergerac.
30:43And ask you, is this him?
30:45Does it matter?
30:46Maybe not.
30:48But it's about your confidence in the conviction.
30:52They found my hair in his car.
30:54He disputes that.
30:58You've spoken to Blakely.
31:01I thought you said you were writing a feature on Jim Bergerac.
31:04I am.
31:07Does he know?
31:09So it's that kind of article, is it?
31:12John Blakely's life was ruined.
31:15What about my life?
31:18That beast locked me in a cellar for three days.
31:23Ever since I've slept with a baseball bat under my bed,
31:27I have panic attacks.
31:28I'm just saying.
31:30What if he's telling the truth?
31:32What if the wrong man went to prison?
31:46Run a check on vehicles connected to Raccini Wilson
31:48and any of her known associates.
31:50I was just about to call you.
31:51Bergerac wanted a speed cam check
31:52on all the Wakefield cars between their house and the theatre.
31:57Arthur Wakefield's car.
31:58It was on the last camera I checked.
31:59Three miles from the opera house.
32:018.46pm.
32:0420 minutes before Kate was killed.
32:06Get a couple of uniforms to meet me over at Arthur Wakefield's house.
32:09Wait.
32:09Now.
32:10Jim.
32:11Call him.
32:12We got him.
32:13This is it, Barney.
32:15We finally got him.
32:27Margaret.
32:29Call Lawrence on his mobile.
32:30Get him off the bloody golf course
32:32and tell him to meet me down at the station now.
32:52Kara.
32:53We're bringing Arthur in now.
32:54Listen.
32:56There's something I need you to do when we get there.
33:01I think we're in here.
33:04Oh, shit.
33:07Sorry.
33:08That was taken.
33:09Wait a minute.
33:09It's Julian.
33:10Why is Julian here?
33:11Why?
33:12I'm afraid I can't answer that.
33:14Why wasn't I told about this?
33:16Where's his fucking lawyer?
33:18Steve, would you take Mr. Chalice and Mr. Wayfield down to room two?
33:20I'll be right with you.
33:31Brilliant.
33:32Don't take him back to his cell just yet.
33:35He's about to get a visitor when they arrive.
33:37Bring them up here.
33:48Thank you for coming.
33:49At such short notice, I know how busy you must be.
33:53Of course.
33:54In fact, I believe I have you to thank for my job.
33:58You were clearly the most qualified for the job.
34:01I'm just sorry the ministers of state needed reminding of that.
34:05I, uh, I want to talk to you about my son-in-law.
34:10Earlier today, he arrested someone while he was with his daughter.
34:14There was a struggle, and Kim was hurt.
34:16Oh, my God.
34:17Is she all right?
34:18It was just a cut to her hand, but...
34:20It could have been a lot worse.
34:24Why did you ask him to go back to work?
34:26That's not quite what happened.
34:29He asked me.
34:31Did he now?
34:34Well, it's immaterial, I suppose, because you agreed.
34:38Jim has experience of complex, violent crimes,
34:43which I felt would be beneficial to the investigation.
34:47He's an exceptional police officer.
34:49Who is clearly in distress.
34:51Whose behavior is becoming problematic.
34:53Who has suffered an unimaginable loss.
34:58And I am mindful of that.
35:00What happened today was regrettable.
35:04And will be addressed.
35:06But I would hope that part of the reason you supported my appointment
35:11was because you trusted my judgment.
35:16Oh, please.
35:17Sorry.
35:20Barney?
35:22He's done what?
35:24You brought him in about an hour ago.
35:26I thought you'd want to know.
35:28Leave this with me.
35:34As I said, Jim's conduct will be monitored.
35:38Quite intensely.
35:39In your initial statement, you said that on the night of Kate's murder,
35:44you were sat with your son Julian in the box at the Opera House
35:49for the whole performance.
35:51But we have a witness who states that Julian was on the phone to them
35:55for seven minutes before 9 p.m.
35:57So did Julian have this conversation while sat next to you?
36:01Not that I'm aware of.
36:04Perhaps your witness is unreliable.
36:07Yeah.
36:10By the way, we found your money.
36:12Oh, good.
36:14Well, that's something.
36:15Yeah, sadly though, it turns out that your son was behind the ransom demand.
36:18What?
36:19He owed gambling debts.
36:21And he chose to take advantage of your granddaughter's abduction
36:25to pay them off.
36:27With your money that you got from selling your favorite car.
36:31Sorry.
36:32But we're getting sidetracked.
36:35Were you and Julian sat together throughout Tuesday evening's performance?
36:41No comment.
36:43Understood.
36:46Interview suspended.
37:04You were right.
37:05Look who just got a lawyer.
37:07Suddenly appeared five minutes ago, panting and sweating.
37:10I think she literally ran all the way from their office.
37:13Wait for it.
37:25Come on.
37:26What's the game plan here?
37:29Is there a game plan?
37:30Because this all kind of shit's over proper protocol.
37:33I want them to think that they're winning.
37:35Arthur especially.
37:36I want them colluding.
37:37I want them getting their story straight.
37:40Because I'm about to blow it out of the fucking water.
37:51I'd like to clarify my statement.
37:53I failed to remember that I left my seat momentarily to make a phone call,
37:58which lasted approximately seven minutes.
38:01My father remained in our box, engrossed in the performance.
38:05Opera is my father's passion, so he probably didn't realize I've got,
38:09and I have no further comment to make.
38:11Understood.
38:12Your colleague can type really fast.
38:17This car belongs to your family, right?
38:21Yes.
38:24No comment.
38:25For the purpose of the recording, this is a photo of a car registered to Mr. Arthur Wakefield.
38:29This was taken on the night the Kate was killed.
38:338.46pm.
38:35The car is driving away from the Opera House.
38:37Were you driving it, Julie?
38:39No.
38:41I mean no comment.
38:42So who was?
38:44Do you know the name Jonathan Robinson?
38:48No.
38:49Did you know that your wife was working with his daughter, Ellie?
38:55Together they were planning to release details of potentially illegal activity
38:58carried out by your father in the purchase of Jonathan's company.
39:03The upshot is your father had a motive.
39:07So do you think he could have been driving that car?
39:12Yeah.
39:13No comment.
39:14Because if it wasn't him, then it must have been you.
39:16No, I said that I was only away for seven minutes, so maybe it was Margaret.
39:20I mean no comment.
39:22Margaret was snug in her seat all night, whereas you, you faked a ransom demand for your own daughter.
39:27That's not going to play well for a jury.
39:28To be fair, he might just get a suspended sentence for extortion.
39:31Yeah, but for the murder.
39:32Oh yeah, I know.
39:33The murder is a whole other thing.
39:35Yeah, but it wasn't me in the car, so it must have been him.
39:38Hang on.
39:38So Arthur wasn't in the box throughout the performance?
39:40I don't know.
39:41What do you mean you don't know?
39:42I, I, I didn't go back after I made the phone call.
39:45I, I, I couldn't breathe after I spoke to Rossini, so I just, I just, I stayed in the
39:49toilet and, and I, I just tried to calm down.
39:52So if you weren't in the box, you have no idea if your father was either?
39:58No comment.
40:04It turns out that Julian was absent for longer than seven minutes.
40:07Would you like to amend your statement accordingly?
40:10You're enjoying this, aren't you?
40:12Oh, gotcha.
40:12This is my Frost Nixon.
40:17Opera is an art form that demands constant attention.
40:21I must have been too engrossed to notice him leave.
40:26So, if you were at the theater, then who was driving your car in the lead up to Kate's murder?
40:39I'm just going to ask you straight out.
40:41Did you kill Kate?
40:44I mean, you'd spent 40 years building up your business and this entitled airhead who you'd welcomed into your home,
40:51who couldn't even deliver you a biological grandchild, was going to take it all.
40:55And, and for what?
40:56For, for the honor of Jonathan Robson?
41:00That infantile beta male who, who didn't have the first clue about what he'd invented.
41:05I mean, do you honestly think that the serial cell battery would have gone to market if you hadn't taken
41:08it?
41:09Come on.
41:10But Kate couldn't understand that.
41:12She felt guilty about the lifestyle that you'd given her.
41:13She wanted to prove a point, a point that was going to tear down your reputation, so you stopped her.
41:22I'd like to amend my statement.
41:27So, three years ago, I discovered that my son, um, suffered from a serious gambling addiction.
41:36Since then, I've, um, covered his debts, turned a blind eye when valuables started going missing from my house.
41:48I paid for counseling and rehab.
41:51So don't tell me he said it was a one-off.
41:54He fell in with the wrong crowd.
42:00About, uh, 18 months ago, Julian took out a life insurance policy on Kate for a quarter of a million
42:05pounds.
42:07He's an addict.
42:09And addicts like Julian, they, um, they have a trajectory.
42:17And, um, you know, I think we're at the end of it.
42:27Tell me, Chief Inspector.
42:32What was your reputation built on, hmm?
42:36I mean, is it, is it warranted?
42:39Someone so myopic, so easily distracted by their prejudice,
42:45are we to actually believe that we're safe with you watching over us?
42:57For the, uh, purposes of the recording, D.C. Malloy has just entered the room.
43:03No, I'm...
43:04I can't.
43:06I know.
43:12There is a pattern of behavior here.
43:14Come on.
43:14This is...
43:16What did Barney tell you?
43:17No, this is hardly a pattern.
43:18I spoke to your mother-in-law.
43:20She told me what happened when you arrested Julian.
43:24You, uh, okay.
43:26Um.
43:28She, uh, uh, okay, look, some context.
43:31She thinks you're buckling under the pressure of the job.
43:34I told her I didn't need any help making operational decisions.
43:39I'm glad you enjoyed that.
43:41It was before I discovered you'd ignored a direct order and arrested Arthur Wakefield.
43:46And for no reason.
43:48Because your case against him just fell apart, correct?
43:50No, nothing Arthur said made him less of a suspect.
43:53Just, just Julian more of a suspect.
43:57Listen to me.
43:57No, he threw his son, his son, under a bus to save himself.
44:03We have to ask why.
44:04Arthur Wakefield is a vicious old bastard who earned his wealth dishonestly.
44:09Unfortunately, there's not enough prisons in the world to bang up everyone guilty of that.
44:13So, let him go.
44:15No, Uma, I am this close to breaking him.
44:19I swear...
44:20I said, let him go.
44:23And you were on your last life.
44:25Tell me you understand that.
44:26Because saying stuff in English to your face doesn't seem to do the trick.
44:31I understand.
44:34I understand.
44:36I understand.
44:49I understand.
45:04I'm so scared.
45:05I am going to go.
45:07Chief Inspector Bergerac, Chloe Havron, Island News.
45:10I'm writing a story on John Blakely.
45:13He claims you planted the evidence that led to his conviction.
45:16I wondered if you had a comment.
45:18Why did you order the second search on John's car?
45:22Are you a corrupt cop who pursues vendettas by framing innocent men?
45:29No comment.
45:59No comment.
46:05No comment.
