00:06They talk about the five stages of grief.
00:16I think that's a myth.
00:18I think there are dozens.
00:20Or maybe it's the same five.
00:22And I'm caught in this loop.
00:27Going through the same ones.
00:29Over and over again.
00:35And of course, what drink does, what drink did, was flatten it out.
00:42Come on!
00:45You know what I realized?
00:47We say blind drunk.
00:49Our sight is obliterated.
00:53Our awareness is obliterated.
01:07No!
01:09No!
01:13No!
01:14No!
01:14No!
01:17No!
01:19No!
01:28I love my wife, present tense, because love doesn't end with death, it just changes shape.
01:41If I'm drunk, I'm not present. For this part of our marriage, I'm absent, obliterated.
01:52I drank because it hurt too much. I've stopped because it's meant to.
02:13Thanks for listening, folks.
02:36Jim Burjraq.
03:06Jim Burjraq.

03:12Jim Burjraq.
03:12Jim Burjraq.
03:26Hi.
03:26Hey.
03:29What happened?
03:30She was having a meal in a restaurant.
03:33They think it's a bit odd, 14-year-old kid on her own,
03:35but whatever.
03:36Then the girl comes and she tries to do a runner.
03:39So, called you, but you were unavailable.
03:41She got bored after a bit,
03:43so gave us the number of her grandmother and she-
03:46God, don't tell me you-
03:46So kind of you to pop by.
03:52Charlie, sorry you got dragged out.
03:54It's a bit of a mix-up.
03:56Anyway, I'll take things from here.
03:57I'd like to make sure my granddaughter's all right.
04:00I'm sure she's fine.
04:01She's fine, isn't she?
04:02See? So, yeah.
04:03Did you drive?
04:04You'll need a thing for the car park.
04:06Where were you?
04:07Where was I?
04:08I was at an AA meeting, since you asked.
04:11Like we agreed.
04:12Word of advice.
04:14After your next meeting, buy a packet of mints.
04:19Go home, Charlie.
04:21Look.
04:23We've been through something unimaginable, after which a period of adjustment is to be expected.
04:28But this, this is chaos.
04:31Uh, keep things in perspective, shall we?
04:33She's a teenager.
04:33Who has been arrested, and is now in a cell, apparently next to somebody called Vegas.
04:39As soon as you stop talking, I will deal with it.
04:47Sorry, uh, it's because you don't work here any- You're on leave, so the thing doesn't-
04:54Uh, hang on, I'll make you a guest pass.
05:15You have my attention.
05:17Well, go seriously, Dad.
05:18Let's not make this a thing.
05:19No, trust me.
05:20It's a, it's a thing.
05:22Yeah.
05:22You think, you think because you're my daughter that I just say the word, and this gets forgotten.
05:26No, I, I have to contain this now.
05:28Well, just tell them I'm acting out.
05:29You are acting out!
05:30Yes.
05:33I mean, this is just so unnecessary.
05:39Just, talk to me.
05:46Did they tell you what restaurant there was?
05:50It was Tomasys.
05:54Where we'd all go to.
05:55No, I know.
05:58I know.
06:04Listen, let's, let's just, can we just stick it into that?
06:09What, what can we do now?
06:11What do you, what do you need?
06:13There we go.
06:14Well, I'm, I'm not saying that, I'm, I'm just, I'm saying one thing at a time.
06:26I'd like to stay with Granny for the weekend.
06:29Fine.
06:31I, I mean like a, a day out.
06:34But, er, no, er, you need some space, you know?
06:38I, I need to tidy the house.
06:39That's, it's actually a really good plan.
06:47No.
06:48No.
06:51Well, it might be a bad thing.
06:52I'll try again.
06:52Oh.
06:53Oh.
06:54Oh.
06:55Oh.
06:55Oh.

10:59Okay.
11:05Okay.
11:15Okay.
11:28Okay.
11:33Well, that's something else.
11:36Is there? Good.
11:40I want to talk about Mum with you.
11:44Yeah, we do talk about her.
11:47We don't. You know we don't.
11:50Yeah, okay.
11:52I mean, it's weird that you think that, but, you know.
11:57Yeah, of course, we will.
11:59Um, more.
12:03Okay. Yeah.
12:07Thank you, Taz.
12:08More.
12:24Police headquarters. St. Helia.
12:42Sorry, Jim. She's actually just really busy just at the moment.
12:45Two minutes.
12:45Could I just pop in the head of you?
12:48Hey.
12:49Jim.
12:50I didn't see you in the diary.
12:53No, I was just passing, and Wendy said you could squeeze me in.
12:56Of course.
12:59Take a seat.
13:01How's Kim?
13:01Amazing.
13:02She's been amazing.
13:04Give her my love.
13:06I'm sorry.
13:07Today is, uh, you can imagine.
13:10You saw the news.
13:11I'm just drafting a brief to the minister.
13:13Can we set something up for next week?
13:15You said you've assembled your team.
13:18I've got Barney Crozier leading.
13:20I thought you might.
13:21He's smart.
13:23He's solid.
13:24Oh.
13:25He did a good job standing in for you.
13:27Yeah.
13:28Though, obviously, he's not had to deal with anything like this.
13:31Oh, he's made a good start.
13:33Sure.
13:34I mean, at the start of an investigation, there's established protocols.
13:39You know, my concern would be when it's up and running, because then it becomes about instincts.
13:47Experience.
13:50Jim.
13:51I'd like to come back.
13:53In some shape or form.
13:56I'm not sure that's appropriate.
13:59Well, it might.
13:59It's been seven, eight months now, and I'm...
14:03Nobody's denying I've...
14:05I'm doing okay.
14:09It's six months, Jim.
14:10I know.
14:15When my wife died.
14:20Look, I'm talking about shadowing.
14:22That's all.
14:24A high-profile victim, it's a different game.
14:27We both know it.
14:28Things drag on.
14:29Press get restless.
14:30Minister starts breathing down your neck.
14:31You need someone with experience who can bring this in quickly.
14:41You support.
14:45Barney stays the lead.
14:46If that's what you think is best.
14:48And you have counselling.
14:50I'll make a referral to occupational health.
14:54Sure.
14:55Totally.
14:58Go for a walk.
14:59I'll talk to Barney.
15:01I'm not just going to drop this on him.
15:19I'll talk to Barney.
15:19I'll talk to Barney.
15:19I'll talk to Barney.
15:20I'll talk to Barney.
15:20I'll talk to Barney.
15:20I'll talk to Barney.
15:21I'll talk to Barney.
15:21I'll talk to Barney.
15:21I'll talk to Barney.
15:22I'll talk to Barney.
15:22I'll talk to Barney.
15:23I'll talk to Barney.
15:25I'll talk to Barney.
15:29I'll talk to Barney.
16:33You think he's back for good?
16:36I think he thinks he is.
16:40Come on.
16:42Jim!
16:44So good to see you.
16:47Look, er...
16:48I just want to say, again, how sorry I am.
16:50Yeah, yeah, I know. Thank you.
16:53But I'll be honest, I'm not thrilled about this as a process.
16:56No, I understand that.
16:57I mean, it's a mess. I mean, you were head of crime services, then I was...
17:00Acting, technically.
17:01And now you're back, but you're not back-back. It's a... it's a tangle.
17:04Yeah, you're leading, Barney. I'm just here to announce. We'll work it out.
17:10Right, team, can we gather? I'd like to get Jim up to speed.
17:14So, victim is Kate Wakefield, 26, married to Julian Wakefield, 30, and daughter-in-law of Arthur Wakefield, CEO of
17:22AWE.
17:23That's Arthur Wakefield Engineering.
17:25They and Kate's baby daughter, Lily, are all resident at Arthur's house in St. Bralad.
17:30AWE's brand is ethical practices, environmentally friendly materials.
17:34It's made them a lot of friends.
17:36Arthur's on various planning boards, advisory panels, governmental bodies.
17:40They're popular, connected, and as far as we can see, clean.
17:43Various daily staff at the house.
17:46Lily's nanny, Mia, 31, Portuguese, and Margaret Heaton.
17:50Arthur's, uh, chief of staff.
17:53So, last night, Arthur, Julian, and Margaret attended a charity event at the Opera House.
18:00Kate was meant to go, but she had a headache, stayed home with Lily.
18:0260-plus witnesses, reams of mobile footage showing them arriving at 8, and then returning home about two and a
18:09half hours later.
18:10And the statements from all three say they returned home at 11 to find the annex door hanging open.
18:15Upstairs, they found Kate dead with severe headwinds.
18:18A house like this must have security.
18:20I've seen cameras up the wazoo, but the, uh, the system's been down for a couple of weeks due to
18:24a dispute with the company that installed it.
18:26Mines are open, but everything points to burglary gone wrong.
18:29Thief or thieves are interrupted by Kate.
18:32Reach for the first thing that comes to hand.
18:34That's where it all gets a little bit Cluedo.
18:36Big heavy candlestick.
18:38Kate takes two blows, one to the temple, one to the back of the skull.
18:41It's gone to forensics, but we're not holding out too much hope for prints.
18:45There were some blood traces, but they were smeared, which would suggest that the murderer wiped it clean afterwards.
18:51Okay, first we need to establish who knew there was no CCTV.
18:54I'm putting a list together now, including employees of the company that Arthur's in dispute with.
18:59Okay, we need the names of the Wakefield's current and ex-employees, household and business.
19:04Already up on the CMS?
19:05And, uh, anyone who's applied for work with them but been refused.
19:08Should have it in the next hour.
19:11Great start, guys.
19:12So pleased you think so?
19:15All right, shall we head to the house?
19:17Guys.
19:39Well, well, well, did you see who's in the passenger seat?
19:42No.
19:43Jim Bergerac.
19:45Who's Jim Bergerac?
19:47Maybe that's why they were late getting here.
19:49Had to search every pub in Jersey to find him.
19:51Yeah, but who is Jim Bergerac?
19:52He's going to be like, I should probably just check on your wine cellar.
19:57Brilliant.
19:58What'd you get?
20:11Mr. Wakefield.
20:14Detective Inspector Barney Crozier.
20:16We met very briefly last night.
20:18Let me introduce Detective Chief Inspector Jim Bergerac.
20:21I'm sorry for your loss, Mr. Wakefield.
20:25Yes, it's, um...
20:28Terrific.
20:30Uh, this opera gala night that you were at, Kate was planning to go with you, but she developed a
20:36headache.
20:36So, who knew about the change of plan?
20:40No one.
20:41Maybe the staff.
20:42Was it announced in any way?
20:44On your social media, maybe?
20:46My social media?
20:48I didn't think, um, a woman with headache merited a press release.
20:53Actually.
20:55I hear you're in dispute with the company that installed your security system.
20:58Yeah, well, when they realized who I was, a lot of extra costs suddenly started to magically appear.
21:03Right, but this was two weeks ago.
21:05Wasn't it?
21:07It's a long time to leave your home unprotected.
21:10Mr. Wakefield.
21:13You know, I thought protecting the public was your job, Inspector.
21:19Gosh.
21:21How stupid am I?
21:27Yeah, that did sound a smidge like victim-blaming there, Jimbo.
21:31Didn't we want to do a course on that?
21:32Yeah, a bit rusty.
21:34All right, come on, I'll show you the scene.
21:35Yeah, look, I'll catch you up.
21:38I'm good.
21:40Less than learned.
21:47It's Julian, isn't it?
21:51DCI Jim Bergerac.
21:53I'm so sorry about Kate.
21:55Here, let me.
22:16I lost my wife.
22:21So, I have an understanding of what you're going through.
22:32You know, something I wish someone had told me when I was where you are.
22:38You need to respect yourself.
22:41There's a temptation to destroy everything, including you.
22:46Don't do that.
22:48People are going to need you.
22:55It gets better then, doesn't it?
23:01It gets better then, does it?
23:15New to Jersey, I take it.
23:17New to Jersey, I take it.
23:18Good to see a fresh face.
23:19I get a bit sick of these tired old hacks.
23:21You were asking about Bergerac.
23:23Interesting character.
23:25Let's grab a coffee sometime.
23:26I'll give you some background.
23:27Jim Bergerac.
23:28Solved the Armstrong kidnapping ten years ago.
23:31Trapped down the girl to a basement.
23:32Found her chained to a pipe.
23:34From that worked out she'd been kidnapped by this guy, John Blakely.
23:37Sure enough, found her DNA in his car.
23:41Blakely gets ten years.
23:42Bergerac gets a medal.
23:44First of three commendations and the start of a glittering career.
23:47Then, six months ago, his wife dies.
23:50He's put on compassionate leave.
23:52Hence the drinking.
23:55Twenty minutes ago, you didn't know who he was.
23:58That was twenty minutes ago.
24:15Farney?
24:23Right, mind if I...
24:25or yours?
24:26Oh!
24:40Sorry, can you get a shot of that?
24:42Yes, boss.
24:52Baby clothes.
24:54Just shut down there like someone packed in a hurry.
24:58I take it that's not the candlestick.
25:00No, that one's back at the lab.
25:02It is identical to that, though.
25:03Right.
25:04You want me to play devil's advocate, right?
25:06I don't remember saying that.
25:07These jeweled egg things,
25:09someone could easily stuff them in a bag or a pocket
25:11as they go past you.
25:12You reach there at the top,
25:13your eyes are drawn this way to the bedrooms.
25:16What do you find in the bedrooms?
25:17Watches, jewellery.
25:18But now you go that way to the nursery.
25:21What are you going to find in there?
25:22Wait, what thief takes things on the way in now
25:26is pitch black.
25:27They're confronted by Kate.
25:29She scrambles back, yells for help.
25:31They follow her in,
25:32try to shut her up.
25:35Candlestick.
25:36Bosh, she reels around.
25:38Bosh, they scarf her.
25:40Where was the candlestick?
25:41On the floor.
25:42No, before it was used on Kate.
25:43I'm guessing on the opposite side.
25:46This little island.
25:48So yeah, they're in the doorway
25:49trying to shut Kate up.
25:50How do they reach that?
25:52Look, I'm not saying that it wasn't
25:54burglary gone wrong.
25:56I'm saying, let's not exclude everything else.
26:05This guy.
26:07Right?
26:21DCI Bergerac.
26:22Margaret Heaton.
26:24Mr Wakefield's Principal Private Secretary.
26:26I thought I should say hello.
26:27There's a bag packed in the nursery.
26:31Would that be the nanny?
26:33Mia, is it?
26:35Correct.
26:36Sometimes if Mr Wakefield Jr.
26:38and his wife are away for the night,
26:39Mia will take Miss Lily back to her own apartment.
26:42Okay, do you know where Mia is now?
26:43I believe she's already been interviewed.
26:47Belt and braces.
26:49Of course.
26:50This way.
26:57Mia.
26:58This is DCI Bergerac.
27:00He'd also like to ask you a few questions.
27:04I know what a difficult time this is.
27:07Um,
27:09was there anything else, Margaret?
27:10Oh, I just thought
27:11if there's anything Mia can't answer.
27:13Right, well, I'll know who to ask.
27:15Thanks so much.
27:23Is this Lily?
27:25Wow, she's...
27:27She is beautiful.
27:28Beautiful.
27:31She sometimes stayed with you.
27:33Is that right?
27:36In your apartment?
27:38Kate and Julian had a lot of engagement.
27:41Some days I couldn't wait up for them to return,
27:44so I would take Lily home.
27:47Bring her back in the morning.
27:50But not last night?
27:52I was going to,
27:53so that Kate could go to that opera thing,
27:56but she changed her mind,
27:59stayed home.
28:00Right.
28:01Because, uh,
28:02in the nursery,
28:03there is, um,
28:05it's like a little bag
28:06of baby clothes
28:07in it.
28:10Kate must have
28:12just forgotten to unpack it.
28:17How were things between Kate
28:19and her father-in-law?
28:21She liked him.
28:23He was kind to her.
28:26And between Kate and...
28:28and Margaret?
28:30Good.
28:32Very good.
28:36One big, happy family, then.
28:49Have you shown them the letters?
28:55Who knew about the CCTV being down?
28:58Aside from myself,
28:59you and Julian.
29:01Kate could have told someone,
29:03I suppose,
29:03but other than the staff,
29:05there's no one.
29:10You think it was one of the staff?
29:12Opportunity.
29:14Motive.
29:15Means.
29:16It's how it usually works.
29:21So,
29:22I want them gone.
29:24All of them.
29:25But this is...
29:27Have you shown them the letters?
29:28This has no...
29:30This has nothing to do
29:31with the damn letters.
29:33Every one of them.
29:34Okay, today,
29:34I won't change the logs.
29:44Good morning.
29:45I'm Detective Inspector Barney Crozier.
29:48Between the hours of 8pm
29:50and 11pm last night,
29:53a young woman was killed.
29:54She has been identified
29:56as Kate Wakefield.
29:58Chief Inspector Bergerac,
30:01have you identified
30:02a prime suspect?
30:04Give us a chance, Tim.
30:06Uh, yes.
30:06As you can see,
30:08Jim Bergerac
30:08is assisting us
30:09on the case.
30:11We're asking...
30:11Are you sure you should be involved
30:13in such a serious case,
30:14Mr Bergerac?
30:16I'm not sure I understand
30:17the question.
30:18Well,
30:20have you had to reassure
30:21the family
30:21that you'll be able
30:22to stay focused?
30:26We're incredibly lucky
30:27to have someone
30:28with Jim's experience
30:29on the team.
30:30Anyone
30:30with any information
30:32should contact police immediately.
30:34Detective!
30:35Have you been here, please?
30:37What does this mean
30:38you're back full-time?
30:40Jesus,
30:41was that a reference
30:41to your wife?
30:42It's a reference
30:43to me drinking.
30:44It's out of line, though.
30:46Find out who she works for.
30:47On it.
30:47I'll say something.
30:49How'd it go with Mia?
30:50Fine.
30:51I don't know.
30:51No, weird.
30:52Well, someone had to tell
30:53the burglar there was no CCTV.
30:54Hang on.
30:55I thought we agreed
30:56that burglar was just one option.
30:58Did you ask Mia about the bag?
31:00Yeah.
31:02She thinks Kate packed it
31:03before she changed her mind
31:04about going to the opera.
31:05So, like I said,
31:06burglar.
31:07Anyway,
31:07I've got a job for you.
31:09I want you to go through
31:09all the calls
31:10to the incident room,
31:11give them a ring,
31:12see if there's anything
31:12worth chasing up.
31:14What?
31:14No.
31:15Normally,
31:15you get a DC to do that,
31:17and 99% of those calls
31:18are bullshit.
31:20Well, there's always
31:21the 1%.
31:23Besides,
31:25you want to enhance,
31:26don't you?
31:31How's it going?
31:32Yeah,
31:33pinch me.
31:35What have you got?
31:36Individuals who applied
31:37to work for Wakefield's company
31:38but were rejected.
31:40One name does spring out.
31:41You are kidding me.
31:43When sorrows come,
31:43they come not as single spies
31:44but in battalions.
31:46Yeah, yeah,
31:47fucking right they do.
31:49Where's Beurge right going?
31:50I've asked him to look
31:51through the call logs.
31:52I can do that.
31:53No, that's all right.
31:53He was really up for it.
31:55Only I need to tell him
31:55about this.
31:56He was the one who...
31:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
31:57Easy, easy, Tiger.
31:59That's just a name
32:00on a list for now.
32:01Yeah, if he sees that,
32:02he's going to get distracted.
32:03So,
32:04why don't we keep this
32:05between us?
32:08In the meantime,
32:09you look into his movements
32:10last night,
32:11and do that discreetly.
32:13Don't spook the horses.
32:26Hello?
32:27Good morning.
32:28Is that Sandra Cook?
32:30Yes, speaking.
32:31Hi, this is Detective
32:32Chief Inspector Jim Bergerac.
32:35Oh, right.
32:36You left a message
32:37saying you had some information
32:38which may assist us
32:39in our investigation.
32:40Yes, yes, I did.
32:41I'm not sure
32:42if it's any help,
32:43but last night
32:44I had this dream.
32:50I think it was the husband.
32:52I just think
32:52he looks really shifty.
32:56Actually,
32:57it's not about that.
32:58It's about the bastard
32:58upstairs and his bastard
33:00flamenco.
33:05Yeah?
33:06Your mum.
33:07My mum what?
33:17Bad news.
33:18I checked out the...
33:26The name you wanted
33:27checking out?
33:33It's a shame.
33:35Thought we were on to something.
33:36Yeah, I'll get over it.
33:42What are you going to do now?
33:43Put it all on a CMS?
33:45Yeah, no, good.
33:47Show me again.
33:50So put that bit
33:51on high priority
33:52and that bit
33:54on medium priority.
34:01I did say that out loud, yeah?
34:04Yeah.
34:05Yeah, yeah, sure.
34:15DCI Bergerac?
34:16Yeah.
34:17Oh, good.
34:17It is you, uh...
34:18Pete Benedict,
34:19your new counsellor.
34:21Look, I mean,
34:22we're not scheduled to start
34:23until tomorrow
34:24and I was just
34:25passing by.
34:26Thought I'd introduce myself.
34:28Yeah.
34:29Look, tomorrow's not great
34:30but, um,
34:32when things calm down,
34:33I'll give you a call
34:34and you can sort something out.
34:42Literally spent half my week here.
34:45Look,
34:46this is a mandatory stipulation
34:48of your involvement in the case.
34:50that's what Uma said.
34:51Okay, okay.
34:51Listen, no offence,
34:52Pete.
34:53Already love where this is going.
34:54I only agreed to this
34:55to appease Uma
34:55because I need it
34:57because I'm actually
34:57able to solve
34:58a fucking murder.
34:59But fine,
35:00I feel like it's all
35:00getting too much.
35:02I give you a call.
35:03How does that sound?
35:08Understood.
35:09Let's talk about it tomorrow.
35:13I'll email you the details.
35:29Nothing of any use
35:30on the core log.
35:31Okay.
35:32Always worth checking, though.
35:39You've got that
35:40on the CMS, yeah?
35:43they'll do it tomorrow.
35:44Okay.
35:55They're so happy.
35:57They're so happy
35:58me.
36:00They're so happy,
36:05They're so happy.
36:30Someone to see you, John.
36:37Life on the outside treating you well, John?
36:40Well, it's not without its challenges.
36:42I need to know your whereabouts between 8pm and 11pm last night.
36:45Around the time the Wakefield girl died, right?
36:49Is this gonna be a regular thing then?
36:51Every time there's a major crime on the island,
36:53I can expect a visit from you.
36:55Maybe it fits your offending profile.
36:56Except we both know that I don't have an offending profile.
37:00Two weeks after you were released,
37:01you applied for work on a Wakefield construction site.
37:04Didn't even get an interview. Must have been frustrating.
37:07Oh, I don't like to dwell on these things.
37:10Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander,
37:15along with every form of malice.
37:18Ephesians 431.
37:19You're kidding me.
37:20Oh, there's a lot of time to kill in prison.
37:24I've found his light.
37:26And with his light came the power to forgive.
37:29Specifically you.
37:31Although some days are easier than others.
37:34I admire your consistency.
37:35You sang the same fucking song all through your trial.
37:39No one believed it then.
37:44Inspector.
37:46Jim.
37:48Listen to me.
37:51Relief when you surrender.
37:53To God's plan in my case.
37:56And to the truth in yours.
38:02It's beautiful.
38:03Tell me where you were last night, John.
38:08And you won't see me again.
38:11Killing Kate Wakefield.
38:18There.
38:21I confess.
38:34Ah, Mia.
38:36Perfect timing.
38:39In light of recent events, I'm afraid we'll be letting you go.
38:43Effective immediately.
38:44You'll be given a month's salary.
38:46This is as per your contract.
38:48You'll see it's just above the NDA clause.
38:53You're firing me?
38:54I believe you have a set of keys to Mrs Wakefield's car.
39:00What about Lily?
39:03Yes.
39:04Leave her too.
39:08I didn't tell him anything.
39:11When I spoke to the policeman, I didn't say a word.
39:15Why would you?
39:17There's nothing to say.
39:34When Barney and I visited the crime scene this morning, in the nursery we found a small bag of clean
39:39baby clothes, which looked like they'd been gathered in a hurry and shoved in a bag.
39:43On the way into the nursery, there are several small expensive items, all left untouched.
39:49We've been looking at this all wrong.
39:50Kate wasn't killed because she walked in in a burglary, but an attempted abduction of Lily Wakefield.
39:55It could be a business rival, a former member of staff, someone with a grudge.
39:58It's a long list, but one name really sprang out.
40:03John Blakely.
40:05Now, for some of you, this was before your time, so a bit of background.
40:07John didn't pop onto our radar until his early 20s.
40:10Nothing major, credit card fraud, one count of resisting arrest.
40:13He got a job on a building site as a joiner, and he calmed down for a bit.
40:17But then he gets sacked after getting into a fight, and so he kidnapped the 14-year-old daughter of
40:21the construction company's CEO.
40:23What Jim is too modest to mention is that he found the girl, and he brought John to justice.
40:29John was sentenced to 15 years, released after 10 on parole.
40:33Then he applies for a job on a building site run by guess who?
40:36The Wakefields.
40:37His application is rejected out of hand, then an ANPR camera picks up a car registered to John Blakely,
40:43half a mile from the Wakefields' house at the time of the crime.
40:47Now, look, this afternoon I spoke to John at work.
40:49He was defensive, he was evasive, but he claims he found God in prison.
40:52Maybe he did.
40:53But for someone with John's history, a rejection like that from Arthur Wafer's company is all it would take.
40:58It's good.
41:00Bit of a coincidence that your prime suspect is your famous caller.
41:04That kidnapping's not the only crime I've solved, Barney.
41:06No, no.
41:07And with your wealth of police experience, you don't need me to remind you that you pitching up at John's
41:11work like that,
41:13that could be seen as harassment.
41:15No, I kept it convivial.
41:19Okay.
41:22Okay.
41:23I'd buy it.
41:24Let's bring him in.
41:25Great.
41:26We're going full bells and whistles on this one.
41:27What can uniforms bear?
41:28Yeah, let's go.
41:29Yeah, I'll jump in with you.
41:43What do you reckon?
41:45Five minutes before John cracks?
41:46No, thanks.
41:48I'm not a betting man.
41:49Interview John Blakely.
41:51September 4th, 2024.
41:54Detective Chief Inspector Jim Berserak leading along with DC Steve Hobson.
42:00John.
42:01Jim.
42:02You work at Winsford's Boat Yard.
42:04This is a work placement since your release from Le Moy prison?
42:08Yes.
42:09What time did you leave work last night?
42:10Around 6.30, 6.45.
42:12What did you do after that?
42:13I drove three of my colleagues, including my boss, Tom Wisford, to a pub on the Rue Sofalaway.
42:18And having dropped your colleagues, what did you do then?
42:23I stayed.
42:24It was quiz night.
42:27We came second.
42:28It was a tiebreaker, actually.
42:31Zagreb is the capital city of which country?
42:36What time did you leave the world?
42:3711.30.
42:38At which point I drove my colleagues to their respective homes.
42:42I dropped Tom off last.
42:45At Clifton.
42:47At 12.15.
42:50Kate Wakefield was murdered around 9pm.
42:55Wasn't she?
42:58Or maybe a little after.
43:06The hell was he thinking?
43:08It would have taken five minutes to find that out.
43:43It's okay.
43:44Leave it on.
43:45Mr. Blake on.
43:46Mr. Blake was convicted of child abduction after a high-profile police investigation ten years ago.
43:51But his arrest and subsequent release are something of an embarrassment for the police.
43:56And questions are already being asked about their handling of the inquiry.
44:01Back to Rob in the studio.
44:02The action that I've beenå Probably yes.
44:08to go for a long time with the contract,
44:14who moved intoę and boat encounter,
44:22with theowiÄ

44:23These men don't deserve and seatbelunts.
44:23They won't have an exception.

44:25them have to come from..
44:30What's this time,
44:31New York?
