00:04Jesus, no.
00:05She's gone! Someone's taken Lily!
00:08Kate was killed while attempting
00:09to stop an abduction. Have you shown them the letters?
00:12It says no. This has nothing
00:13to do with the damn letters. You think
00:15it was one of the star? I want them gone.
00:17All of them. John Blakely's alibi was
00:19locked. But later, when I was pitching John as a
00:21suspect to the team, you didn't mention you'd just filed an
00:23alibi for him. Maybe we could talk
00:25about you coming home.
00:28I'd like that, Dad. What do you make
00:29her happy? We love her.
00:31Where I come unstuck is the quarter of a million
00:33pounds you tried to extort from the family.
00:35There was no ransom. Doesn't make sense.
00:37I don't think they killed Kate.
00:45I've been
00:45asked by the Wakefield family to make a
00:47statement. Words
00:49cannot convey the relief we feel
00:51having dear Lily back.
00:54And to know that major
00:55progress has been made into the investigation
00:58into our beloved Kate's murder.
01:01As you can imagine, this has been a very difficult time
01:04for the family. Firstly, we'd like
01:06to thank everyone who has sent messages
01:08of condolence and support.
01:10We really have been overwhelmed.
01:13but most importantly, we'd like to thank the police
01:16and in particular, DCI Bergerac.
01:19There it is.
01:22It was his tenacity and diligence that brought
01:26Lily home and led to this
01:28arrest.
01:31Nonetheless, we are
01:32still grieving. And so
01:34as I'm sure you'll understand, we would
01:36ask for privacy at this time.
01:42Returning to our top story.
01:44Returning to our top story.
01:49Returning to our top story.
01:52Returning to our top story.
01:53Returning to our top story.
01:55Returning to our top story.

02:04Returning to our top story.
02:05Returning to our top story.
02:07Returning to our top story.
02:08Returning to our top story.
02:11Returning to our top story.
02:37That has to be some kind of record.
02:39Kate's only been dead, what, 60 hours?
02:41Well, I mean, killing someone and getting away with it,
02:43it's almost impossible today, you know?
02:45CCTV everywhere.
02:46There's mobile phone tracking.
02:48There's unbelievably sophisticated forensics now.
02:50Yeah, but from what you told me,
02:51none of those are how you found the murderers.
02:53No, no.
02:55Yeah, it was more instinctive.
02:59I think that's why I'm second-guessing it now,
03:01because there are holes in the theory.
03:04Well, you mean their alibi?
03:06It's definitely holes in their alibi.
03:08I mean holes in the police's theory about them.
03:10killing Kate.
03:12So I'm confused.
03:14It was your theory.
03:15But now you think that somebody else killed Kate
03:18who may or may not have also been attempting
03:20to take the baby.
03:23Maybe we shouldn't be discussing the case.
03:28Sometimes when we are discussing the case,
03:30we're not discussing the case.
03:35When did you go back to work?
03:38Because I was ready.
03:47Because what grief was defining me,
03:51because I was a mess,
03:52because I needed to prove something to myself.
03:57To Kim.
03:59When did you last have a drink?
04:01About 58 hours ago.
04:03How's that going?
04:04How's it going?
04:05It's torture.
04:07You don't look like someone who's being tortured.
04:13Where is Kim in her process of grief, do you think?
04:16Have you tried talking to her?
04:20It's pending.
04:25Say they did it, Mia and Tomáš.
04:29Walk me through what happens next.
04:31Well, we put together a case and we take it to court.
04:35Of course, the team investigating the murder.
04:37My job is to find the ransom money
04:39and tie up the abduction charge.
04:41That feels less consuming.
04:44So, more time to think.
04:49Sorry, you think my doubts aren't actually doubts?
04:54That I'm artificially prolonging the case?
05:01If you have found who did it,
05:03then the end is in sight with no support.
05:07A conversation about your dead wife pending
05:09and not even three full days into sobriety.
05:14I just want you to think about what that would mean.
05:23So, the magistrate has denied bail for me and Tomáš
05:26because they're such obvious flight risks.
05:28Where are we with the timeline?
05:29Although Night Kate was killed,
05:31Mia says they were at home all evening.
05:33We can trace them through till receipts and CCTV
05:36up until 1603, and then we lose them.
05:40So, we need to keep looking.
05:42Or we should consider other possibilities.
05:44No, we're not there yet.
05:46Here's a question.
05:47They don't have a car.
05:48How did they get to the house the night they took the baby?
05:50The bus, Mia said.
05:51Okay, let's pull CCTV from all buses
05:54whose routes go towards the Wakefield house
05:56an hour before Kate was killed
05:57and away an hour after.
06:00Contact the minicab companies.
06:02Circulate me and Tomáš's picture.
06:04Half a lager top for the first person
06:06that puts them at or near the house
06:08the night she was killed.
06:22I set you up beautifully there.
06:24You did?
06:25Yeah.
06:25I said we should consider other possibilities.
06:28And then I looked at you
06:29so you could stand up
06:31and rip down Mia and Tomáš's photo
06:32and say what you said yesterday.
06:34It would have been brilliant.
06:35Yeah, that was just me thinking out loud.
06:37Oh, no, don't go back on this now.
06:39I didn't sleep a wink last night.
06:41Look, it's them.
06:43Yeah, you know how I know
06:45because the alternative is that shit.
06:51Well, you won't want to see this then.
07:02One of the letters we intercepted
07:04going into the Wakefield house
07:06sent a day before Kate was killed.
07:08Elaine, Wei, Gans, Elaine.
07:12It's German.
07:15Alone, alas, all alone.
07:18It's from an opera, Elektra,
07:20by Richard Strauss.
07:22Thank you, Google.
07:24Has Barney seen it?
07:25He said, well, families get sent weird shit.
07:30He's right.
07:32Yeah, but they're usually straight up abusive,
07:34not cryptic like this.
07:37I just check it against me
07:38and Tomáš's handwriting.
07:40I'll have to find his ransom money.
07:49Listen, can I just grab a copy of that?
07:54I'm heading over to the Wakefields
07:55to ID Tomáš.
07:58May as well run it past them.
08:25I'm heading over to the Wakefields.
08:28I'm heading over to the Wakefields.
08:28I'm heading over to the Wakefields.
08:28I'm heading over to the Wakefields.
08:29I'm heading over to the Wakefields.
08:29I'm heading over to the Wakefields.
08:30I'm heading over to the Wakefields.
08:31Go on, I can't see you.
09:06Uh, it's hard to, he had a scar around his mouth, and, um, which one of these is Tomas?
09:16I can't tell you that.
09:19No, of course.
09:21I know that it's one of them, I'm just not sure exactly which.
09:26No worries.
09:27Thank you, anyway.
09:28About my money, Inspector.
09:32Uh, Mia and Tomas didn't have it with them when I arrested them, and it wasn't at their
09:36property, so we're assuming it's with an accomplice.
09:38Well, whoever made that phone call, um, I said this, didn't I?
09:41He didn't have an accent, so even with whatever he used to change his voice, he was English.
09:47But look, at some point, the money will enter into circulation, and when that happens, it
09:51gets flagged in our system, and we can move in.
09:52But you haven't actually charged Mia and Tomas with Kate's murder yet?
09:56My colleague, Bonnie Crozier, is leading the murder investigation.
09:59They're putting a case together, I expect I'll have some news pretty soon.
10:03Uh, just, something I-I wanted to ask you about.
10:06Um, this was sent to you the day before Kate's murder.
10:13Alone, alas, all alone.
10:18That's a-a quote, right?
10:21Yeah, it's from, uh, Electra by Strauss.
10:24Any idea why someone would send you a message like this?
10:26No, none at all.
10:28You sure?
10:29You've no idea what it's leading to?
10:31No.
10:32Which one would assume is the whole point of a threatening letter.
10:36I didn't say it was threatening.
10:41Thanks for your time.
10:53I barely know Arthur Wakefield.
10:55Not my circle at all.
10:57Construction.
10:58Cement.
10:59Dust.
11:01Laborers.
11:02Okay, so who does?
11:03Who can I talk to?
11:05Don't you all go to the same club and light cigars with 50-pound notes?
11:10You know, dress up a poor person as a fox and chase them through a forest.
11:13Oh, you mean the Jersey Club.
11:15Yes, that's exactly what we do.
11:18Wednesdays after bingo.
11:19Okay, and Arthur's a member there too, yeah?
11:22Great, thank you.
11:28How, uh, how's Kim?
11:30You can ask yourself.
11:31She'll be back for lunch later.
11:33I've insisted she has her lunch here now.
11:35Do you know what she usually has?
11:36A sandwich out of a machine.
11:38She told me that she said those words.
11:42Well, I need to check this club out.
11:43I need to speak to someone who knows Arthur.
11:45Not looking like that, you won't.
11:47I'm wearing a suit.
11:49If one can call it that.
11:50What?
11:56You could go.
11:57What?
11:57What?
11:57You speak the language.
11:58You understand the customs.
12:00Look, I just need some background on Arthur.
12:03Yesterday, I was trying to steal your daughter.
12:05Now, suddenly, I'm going undercover.
12:08Besides, I thought you had your killers.
12:10No, there's been a development.
12:12Well, could have been a development.
12:16But Kim said the plan was for her to spend some nights at home now.
12:20No, no, that's still the plan.
12:21It's just a question of when.
12:25I'll talk to her.
12:26Yeah, it's fine.
12:30So, the club.
12:35Quid pro quo.
12:38I sniff out some dirt.
12:40Help crack the case.
12:42Burnish your somewhat tarnished reputation.
12:44And this afternoon, you and I will be given a private tour of St. Bernadette's.
12:50No.
12:50We discussed it.
12:51I discussed it.
12:53You had an attack of the vapors.
12:56I'm sure they wouldn't mind.
12:57They love to throw open the doors for old girls.
13:01But equally, you could press your nose up against the window of the Jersey Club like some Dickensian waif.
13:34I'm sorry about Kate.
13:36What?
13:37Oh.
13:38Yes.
13:39Bad news.
13:40Whoever did kill her will get away with it.
13:43Right, yeah.
13:44Don't do that.
13:45Please, please.
13:48Please don't walk away from me.
13:50Just one minute.
13:51I need to talk to you about Bergerac.
13:5630 seconds.
13:59Okay.
14:03You see, he's not interested in accuracy.
14:05He doesn't want to find who did it.
14:07He just wants to find someone.
14:11He falsified evidence against me.
14:14He ruined my life.
14:16Look, you could see for yourself.
14:19You could see for yourself.
14:19John Blakeney.
14:20There's a Wikipedia page about me.
14:22They won't let me edit it.
14:24Sorry.
14:25This is coming out wrong.
14:26How about we sit down and I tell you what he did.
14:31Because he's corrupt.
14:33No, please.
14:34He's ruthless.
14:36Please, listen to me.
14:38He will lie to you.
14:41He will lie to you.
14:43He will lie to you.
15:13You lead the talk towards Arthur Wakefield.
15:17There used to be a little terrace there that caught the sun.
15:21It's been absorbed by the car park,
15:24which would suggest they're increasing their membership.
15:29You're not the only detective in the family, you know.
15:34How must things change?
15:52Oh, good Lord, it's Charlie Hungerford.
15:55Nigel?
15:56I can barely see you through the haze of Tupigou and Viagra.
16:00Well, you'll join us, won't you?
16:02Well, why not?
16:03Must be six o'clock somewhere.
16:07I can't believe it.
16:08You don't look a day over 35.
16:10You really must do something about those cataracts, darling.
16:13We were so sorry to hear about Rachel.
16:18We soldier on, don't we?
16:21Your health.
16:25Well, what's the gossip?
16:53And remember Bobby Guthrie?
16:56Liver transplant.
16:57Hardly surprising.
16:59Anything under 12% is breakfast wine.
17:02Well, I remember.
17:03I'd like to pay my condolences to Arthur Wakefield.
17:06Oh, God, yes.
17:07Ghastly business.
17:09Is he in the spa?
17:10I saw his car outside.
17:14Actually, that's mine now.
17:17How on earth did you get him to park with it?
17:20Or is he currently still in the boat?
17:23People change.
17:24Hmm.
17:27Or in your case, they don't.
17:34Will you excuse me, boys?
17:36Little guards.
17:48Oh, I see.
17:50Bergerac.
17:51The son-in-law.
17:53Dear me, Charlie.
17:54It's Richard Nash.
17:55Isn't it?
17:56I'm really sorry about this.
17:57I know it's a little unconventional.
17:59It's just really important I speak to someone about Arthur Wakefield.
18:01Well, I can't help you.
18:02Wait in the car, James.
18:03No, I think I should.
18:04I've got this, as Kim would say.
18:07Hence the new school.
18:11Forgive the subterfuge, Dickie, but this is important.
18:15What happened to Arthur's daughter-in-law, it's possible he was the target.
18:20I know.
18:21I know.
18:22And in his own home.
18:24But the police don't have a clue.
18:25This isn't their world.
18:27So can you think of anyone who'd want to hurt Arthur?
18:32I'm sure he's put some noses out of joint over the years.
18:35Could any of them be behind this?
18:39A light Cirrusel.
18:41It was an engineering company that Arthur bought back in 2009.
18:47Look it up, but you won't see his name anywhere near it.
18:49Well, what happened?
18:50Was there an issue with the sale?
18:51No, Charlie.
18:52That's all you're getting.
18:57And it wasn't from me.
18:59Understood.
19:01Bless you, Dickie.
19:06Ah, here we are.
19:08Allied Cirrusel.
19:09Sold in 2009 to a company called Loctex.
19:14Researchers at Allied develop a breakthrough non-lithium battery.
19:18The Cirrusel battery, which is now used globally.
19:21Upwards of 10 million sold last year alone.
19:25And they were bought by, who, by Loctex?
19:27What does it say about them?
19:29Nothing.
19:30Nothing, that's all there is.
19:31Ah, go back to the first company.
19:32Allied Cirrusel.
19:33Who owned them?
19:35Here we are.
19:36Jonathan Robson.
19:38Oh, he invented this magic battery.
19:41But died, 2010.
19:44Jumped off the roof of this old office building.
19:46Leaving a wife, Linda, and her daughter, Ellie, aged 10.
19:52Give me a favor while you've got the phone out.
19:55Look up the plot of Electra.
19:58I don't mean to.
20:00Electra is a character in Greek mythology.
20:03Condemned to a life of poverty after her father, King Agamemnon, is murdered.
20:09And so wreaks revenge on his killers.
20:13And that is the benefit of a world-class education, except Bernadette's.
20:21Great for pub quizzes, then.
20:33Hey, hey.
20:35Dad, great.
20:36I need some money.
20:39No, listen.
20:40It's pointless carrying my toothbrush and stuff with me every time I go back home,
20:44so why didn't I just keep some here?
20:46Yeah.
20:48Yeah.
20:49Um, um, yeah, about that.
20:54You know those people that we arrested?
20:56Mm-hmm.
20:57Um, I don't think they did it.
21:00So, uh, so the case goes on.
21:03It just means that I won't be at home much.
21:09Right.
21:09I'm really sorry.
21:11I-I know that staying here isn't perfect.
21:13It's not that. It's just...
21:15We were gonna talk, weren't we?
21:17Uh, yeah, we will.
21:20You keep saying that.
21:21No, I don't keep saying it.
21:22I've said it once.
21:26It's for you too, Dad.
21:29The conversation you needed to...
21:31You got me all worked out, haven't you?
21:37No, sorry. You're right.
21:42But in the meantime, let's do lunch tomorrow.
21:47How does that sound?
21:48Yeah, sure.
21:50That'd be nice.
21:53Um, I should probably...
21:55Yeah.
21:57No, go for it.
22:04I-I gotta call you about tomorrow.
22:11Bye, love.
22:13Bye, Dad.
22:33Oh, God. What is that face?
22:34I hate that face.
22:40On the night of Kate's murder...
22:41Yeah.
22:42Tomosh said he took in a package for a neighbour.
22:44So I checked it out and, um...
22:48Yeah, it-it-it tallies up with the time code from the courier.
22:51You are shitting me.
22:53Did you see Mia?
22:55Over Tomosh's shoulder, asleep on the sofa.
22:59Back to a square fucking one.
23:02We're obviously still charging for the abduction.
23:04Oh, whoop-de-do. That's not even my case.
23:08Speaking of which, where is Golden Borgs?
23:15Hey.
23:16It wasn't Mia and Tomosh.
23:18They've got a solid alibi.
23:19You were right.
23:20But your absence is getting commented on.
23:22Barney wants a team meeting to discuss new leads.
23:24I'll have to raise the letter again.
23:26Uh, give me half an hour on that.
23:28I've got some traction.
23:30Um...
23:30Listen, do the Wakefields know about Mia and Tomosh yet?
23:32No. I was gonna head over after the meet with Barney.
23:34Don't tell them just yet.
23:37Arthur's hiding something.
23:38Knowing that me and Tomosh are in the clear for murder
23:40might make him clamor even more.
23:42Arthur's hiding what?
23:44Does the name Ellie Robson...
23:47mean anything to you?
23:51Or Jonathan Robson?
23:54Ring a distant bell.
23:57No?
23:57What about Allied Cirrusel?
23:59It's Jonathan Robson's company.
24:01It's bought by another company called Loctex.
24:04The weird thing is...
24:05They didn't exist before or after this transaction.
24:09They appeared out of nowhere.
24:10Bought Allied Cirrusel.
24:11And then disappeared.
24:14Like Brickadoon.
24:16Then one of Jonathan Robson's innovations,
24:17the Cirrusel Battery,
24:19starts the feature in your marketing.
24:22What's that phrase you use?
24:24Power need not corrupt.
24:29I bought Loctex.
24:32And with it, the catalogue of patents, innovations, plans, back of the beer mad ideas.
24:39Oh, and the debt that came with their purchase of Allied Cirrusel.
24:44The thing is, a couple of years later, Jonathan Robson committed suicide.
24:49Correlation doesn't imply causation, Inspector.
24:53Jonathan Robson was clearly a brilliant man.
24:55He was also a very troubled man.
24:58But his intellectual property was paid for.
25:01Some might say handsomely.
25:02Though some might not.
25:05Which brings us back to this.
25:08I believe this came from...
25:10Ellie Robson.
25:12Jonathan Robson's daughter.
25:14Hence the references to a murdered father.
25:16And an avenging daughter.
25:17It is a bit oblique though, isn't it?
25:19Coming out of the blue, I can't imagine it would make much sense.
25:22It feels, to me, more like...
25:24a... theme.
25:28So...
25:29How many have there been?
25:31Two or three a year for the last five years, that's all.
25:34That's all. Do you still have them?
25:35No, we do not.
25:37I threw them out.
25:39Ellie Robson is a fantasist.
25:40She's trying to make sense of her father's death.
25:42Now, if I'd thought for one minute...
25:44that she was involved in Kate's death, I'd have told you.
25:46It is not up to you to decide what is or what isn't relevant,
25:50or who is or who isn't a credible suspect.
25:53You have your suspects. They're literally in bloody custody.
25:55We haven't been able to charge them yet.
25:57And until we do, we have to pursue other leads.
25:59So this is important.
26:01Rightly or wrongly, she believes that you ruined her father,
26:04and that is a motive.
26:07What, to kill Kate? Oh, come on.
26:09To hurt you.
26:16So what are you gonna do?
26:17What am I gonna do?
26:19She's a suspect. I have to look into it.
26:21But moving forward, let's just assume everything is relevant.
26:26Clear?
26:38I only wanted them to know about the letters.
26:40Well, now they do.
26:42I wanted them to know because if it was Ellie Robson, then you're the target.
26:47Meaning there's every chance you'll come back to finish the job.
26:51Ellie Robson didn't kill Kate. We know who killed Kate.
26:55And in the meantime, a question here, a question there, and that's all it takes.
26:59And as far as Bergerac is concerned, this isn't even about Kate anymore.
27:05He's never gonna give up.
27:12What is it?
27:17There was a man here earlier.
27:22Yeah.
27:23Clara showed me the letter.
27:25I said, grieving families get sent weird shit.
27:27And you're right, but it turns out there's this whole other story with this Robson guy,
27:31whose daughter has been basically, she's been harassing Arthur for years.
27:35Where I get confused is, what does this have to do with the ransom money?
27:38No, it doesn't, but I was literally in the room with Arthur, so I just thought I'd check it out.
27:41And all this, you did this just because you were literally in the room with your laptop and your printer?
27:45Well, no, I wanted to give you something tangible.
27:47I didn't want a repeat of what happened with John Blakely.
27:51You know, when I foolishly went after him, not knowing he had an alibi,
27:54even though his alibi had actually come through to this team.
27:59Yeah, uh, no, that's...
28:00No, uh, good.
28:02Always good to be sure.
28:04I buy this. I think she could be a real person of interest.
28:06Great. To the murder inquiry, which is why I will go and have a chat with her.
28:09Give me a minute and I'll come with you.
28:10That's all right. I'll take Cara.
28:11You got ID on the Robson girl?
28:13Oh, look at that.
28:14It's all in here. This is great stuff.
28:15Thank you, Jim.
28:17Cara! With me.
28:33How did she do that?
28:50Thank you so much for being here at very nearly the time we agreed.
28:55See? They're not the mid-rich cuckoos after all.
29:00Mrs. Hungerford?
29:01Ah.
29:02So lovely to meet you.
29:03Rose Parsons, Head of English.
29:05Thank you so much for arranging this at such short notice.
29:08This is my son-in-law, James.
29:11Can I just say how sorry we were to hear about Rachel?
29:14Some of her teachers are still on the faculty here and I know they all thought the world of her.
29:18So did we.
29:21Now, once I've finished showing you around, I was hoping you might linger a moment.
29:24Someone mentioned that Rachel was in a production the school did of Romeo and Juliet.
29:28That's right. She played the nurse.
29:30Well, I had a bit of a trawl through the archive and you'll never guess what I found.
29:35An actual video of the production.
29:38I had a quick look. She has the audience in fits.
29:42I thought we could watch it, or at least as much as you have time for.
29:45Honestly, she's absolutely glorious.
29:49Goodness. That sounds fun.
29:52What do you think, James?
29:53Yeah.
29:56Yeah.
29:57Wonderful. Shall we?
29:58Yes.
29:59I hear Kim is very musical.
30:02Remind me to show you the new recording.
30:03Actually, it's...
30:04Sorry.
30:05I've...
30:06I've left something in the car.
30:29You cover the back. She might be expecting a visit.
30:33Okay.
30:56It's Ellie Robson.
30:57Yes?
30:58Detective Inspector Barney Crozier. Do you mind if I come in?
31:00Of course.
31:17Oh, fuck.
31:25No, no.
31:26Right. Miss Robson!
31:49Oh, fuck.
31:50Oh.
31:51Oh, fuck.
31:51Oh, fuck.
31:52Oh, fuck.
31:53Oh, fuck.
31:53Oh, fuck.
31:55Oh, fuck.
31:56Oh, fuck.
31:56Oh, fuck.
31:57Oh, fuck.
32:08Look, even I would struggle to see my dead daughter happy and healthy and glorious Technicolor,
32:13but we're here for Kim.
32:14And so we go back in there and we smile and we gaze and all at all the world-class
32:19facilities
32:19and then we say, oh no, mustache, and we go home and scream into a pillow.
32:24I am doing my best.
32:26I am trying to give Kim stability and solidity.
32:31That's why I'm back at work, but just sometimes it's just a lot.
32:42Today was fun.
32:44I enjoyed being useful.
32:48I could forget you just for a minute.
32:52So I see the attraction.
32:54But it's a mirage.
32:59Gosh, you understand that, don't you?
33:04DC Malloy to all ranks.
33:06Urgent assistance required.
33:10Suspect, Ellie Robson.
33:11Female 25, Madoff, heading towards the A11.
33:16She had the home advantage.
33:18Suspect vehicle heading northwest on Valley de Saint-Pierre, taking a left-left into Sandy Brook.
33:25DCI Bergerac on Rue de Monde.
33:27DCI Bergerac on Rue de Monde.
33:39Where did she go?
33:41DC Malloy to all ranks, suspects, current location unknown.
33:44Please be on lookout for female 25 in a grayness and micro.
33:49One, three, two, two, eight, five.
33:51What direction was she headed when you lost her?
33:53Could she be headed to the Wakefields?
33:55No, opposite direction.
33:56She could be heading to the port.
33:58She might be trying to get off the island.
33:59I know where she's going.
34:01All units head to Marshall House on Valblazon.
34:07Just help me out here.
34:09The detective in charge of investigating your daughter-in-law's murder.
34:14You want us to what?
34:15Expose him?
34:16Undermine him?
34:18Right.
34:18The murderer's already in custody, so there's sudden interest in my business.
34:22Of which, by the way, there is nothing amiss.
34:24Okay?
34:25Nothing.
34:25It's irrelevant.
34:26It's a fishing expedition.
34:27Yes, but look at the optics, Arthur.
34:31Bergerac is popular.
34:32He's admired, whereas him, you know what he did.
34:35Yeah, but what if he didn't?
34:37What if what he said was true?
34:41And Bergerac really did try to falsify that evidence.
34:44What if we're talking a whole career of corruption and criminality?
34:51Oh, and there's one other thing to consider.
34:55Remember, I'm on the board of directors of your fucking newspaper.
35:02I think that covers everything.
35:15We're going to need paramedics and a fire service.
35:17She's got a job.
35:18Wait, what?
35:18How do you know?
35:19I found her.
35:38Ellie?
35:43Ellie?
35:46Ellie?
35:48Ellie?
35:50My name is Jim.
35:52I'm a police officer.
35:57This is where your dad died, isn't it?
36:02I know who he is.
36:04I know what you think Arthur Wakefield did to him.
36:07I didn't kill Kate.
36:08Then we don't have a problem.
36:09I just sent the letters.
36:11Yeah, well, the letters aren't that big a deal.
36:14I wanted to do more.
36:16Well, yeah, I'm sure, but you didn't.
36:18I wanted to set dogs on him.
36:20That would have been too much.
36:22This rage.
36:24It's all I am.
36:26Top to bottom.
36:28Everything stopped.
36:30When my dad died.
36:31I may as well have jumped off with him.
36:42Why don't you tell me what happened?
36:46Arthur knew about the battery.
36:50He'd seen the plans somehow.
36:55But he paid my dad a pittance.
36:58Do you know how much money Arthur made of Dad's battery?
37:01How much?
37:03Ten million.
37:05The shame my dad felt for getting tricked like that.
37:11And he watched us struggle.
37:14And it tore him apart.
37:17Obviously, he...
37:19My mum tried getting lawyers, but they said Arthur had it all sewn up tight.
37:26So, yeah, ten years later, I sent him these pathetic little letters.
37:34I know a bit about how you feel.
37:39You lose someone you love.
37:41It's a line through your life.
37:45Everything's before or it's after.
37:47They're different worlds.
37:51And I know a bit about the shame that the dad felt, too.
37:58In fact, I say I'm something of an expert there.
38:00But look, he wouldn't want this.
38:01Just as I wouldn't want this for my daughter.
38:07The waste of his life.
38:09The waste of yours.
38:10That is when Arthur Wakefield really wins.
38:20Aren't you cold?
38:23I'm absolutely freezing.
38:35He is winning, though, Arthur Wakefield.
38:38Look at him.
38:41Well, let's see what we can do about that.
38:49Oh, God.
38:55Oh, my God.
38:57Oh, my God.
39:01Oh, my God.
39:04Oh, my God.
39:13She'll be here.
39:17Gillian, God, I'm so sorry about Kate.
39:20Did you get the flowers we sent?
39:22No idea, but thank you.
39:26Oh, um, sorry, this is John.
39:29He's, uh, here to help us with, um...
39:32I'm sorry for your loss, Mr Wakefield.
39:36Thanks.
39:37And who's this?
39:38It's my daughter Lily.
39:39Oh, hi, Lily. You're beautiful.
39:41Yeah, she's, uh, she's a monster.
39:45Actually, Dad, do you mind just taking her for a minute?
39:47Yeah, I'll take her.
39:49No, no, no, please don't worry. She might be sick on you.
39:52You wouldn't do that to me, would you, Lily?
39:55Well, if you're sure.
39:56Okay.
39:59Here we go.
40:01Here we go!
40:08Mm.
40:11She's here.
40:17Gentleman?
40:19I hear you have a story for me.
40:23Time now is 8.19 p.m.
40:26Also present is Miss Robson's solicitor, Mr Pat Davis.
40:30Miss Robson, you understand why we're speaking with you?
40:34Because I sent the letters to Arthur Wakefield.
40:37All of them.
40:38So you're admitting to harassment?
40:40No.
40:41I'm admitting to sending some letters with opera quotes in them.
40:47Though some early ones had lines from the Discworld novels.
40:52Okay, let's talk about intent.
40:54When you're sent...
40:55For the purposes of the recording, DC Malloy is just into the room
40:58and handed me a file and a mobile phone.
41:03Intent's irrelevant.
41:04How can intent be irrelevant?
41:05Because, correct me if I'm wrong,
41:07but having bad thoughts about someone isn't illegal with intent.
41:10Sorry, Ellie, these photographs were on your phone.
41:12They're of the Wakefield house.
41:14They include images of the exterior, the main entrance,
41:18interior rooms, hand-drawn floor plans of all floors.
41:22Where did you get these, Ellie?
41:23Did you take them?
41:23Hang on.
41:24Where did you get these images, Ellie?
41:25Did you take them?
41:26Kate sent them to me.
41:30Why would Kate Wakefield send you these?
41:33I met her about seven months ago at a charity event.
41:37I hadn't planned on telling her about my dad,
41:40how Arthur defrauded him out of all that money.
41:42It just came out.
41:45She couldn't believe it.
41:47She said she wanted to help me.
41:50Help you do what?
41:51If there was any proof that Arthur had committed fraud,
41:55she said it would be on his laptop.
41:57She had this plan.
42:00The family were going to be at some opera thing.
42:03The baby was with the nanny.
42:04There was no CCTV.
42:06So I was supposed to sneak in the house,
42:10grab the laptop and get out.
42:12Were you inclined to make use of the information that she sent you?
42:17I was inclined.
42:20I'd love to be the sort of person that can just do that,
42:23but I'm not.
42:29The time is at 8.21 p.m.
42:31The interview is suspended.
42:37What is it?
42:38The photographs Ellie says that Kate sent her.
42:41There's no record of them on Kate's phone.
42:43Plus, the number Ellie has saved as Kate Wakefield is not Kate's official number.
42:47So how do we know Kate sent them?
42:49Go back through the exchanges.
42:50The stuff she references,
42:52the things about the Wakefields,
42:53the house,
42:54it's stuff only Kate would know.
42:56Okay, so Kate's got a second phone.
42:57Yeah, now, look at this.
42:58The last text that Kate sent to Ellie.
43:01Well, if you won't expose Arthur,
43:03I will.
43:05So the Allied Cerrocell stuff,
43:07Kate was going to take it to the press.
43:08Say she was and say Arthur found out.
43:11What do you think you do to stop her?
43:28What's happening?
43:29You need to see this.
43:32Mia and Tomas Alves have been charged with the abduction of Lily Wakefield.
43:36However,
43:37evidence has come to light
43:39that excludes them from the investigation into the murder of Kate Wakefield.
43:43But we have several other lines of inquiry that we are currently pursuing,
43:47and we would like to assure the public,
43:48and in particular the Wakefield family,
43:52that whoever killed Kate
43:54will be brought to justice.
44:24and we would like to see this.
44:30You
