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!

02:52No!
03:26Hey.
03:29What happened?
03:30She was having a meal in a restaurant.
03:32They think it's a bit odd, a 14-year-old kid on her own, but 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, so gave us the number of her grandmother, and she...
03:46God, don't tell me.
03:46So kind of you to pop by.
03:51Charlie.
03:53Sorry you got dragged down.
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?
04:03So, 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.
04:09Since you asked.
04:11Like we agreed.
04:12Word of advice.
04:13After your next meeting, buy a packet of mints.
04:19Go home, Charlie.
04:21Look.
04:22We've been through something unimaginable, after which a period of adjustment is to be expected.
04:28But this...
04:30This is chaos.
04:31Keep things in perspective, shall we?
04:33She's a teenager.
04:33Who has been arrested.
04:35And is now in a cell.
04:37Apparently next to somebody called Vegas.
04:39As soon as you stop talking, I will deal with it.
04:48Sorry, uh, it's because you don't work here and you're on leave, so the thing doesn't...
04:54Um, hang on, I'll make you a guest pass.
05:16You have my attention.
05:17Well, go seriously, Dad.
05:18Let's not make this a thing.
05:19No, trust me.
05:20It's a...
05:20It's a thing.
05:22Yeah?
05:22You think...
05:22You think because you're my daughter that I just say the word and this gets forgotten?
05:26No, I have to contain this now.
05:28Well, just tell them I'm acting out.
05:29You are acting out!
05:33I mean, this is just so unnecessary.
05:38Just...
05:39Talk to me.
05:46Did they tell you what restaurant there was?
05:50It was Demersey's.
05:54Where we'd all go to.
05:55Right, yeah.
05:58I know.
06:04Listen, let's just...
06:06Can we just stick it into that?
06:09What can we do now?
06:12What do you need?
06:13There we go.
06:14Well, I'm not saying that...
06:15I'm...
06:17I'm just...
06:17I'm saying...
06:20One thing at a time.
06:26I'd like to stay with Granny for the weekend.
06:29Fine.
06:31I mean, like a day out.
06:34But, uh, no.
06:36Uh...
06:36You need some space, you know?
06:38I need to tidy the house.
06:40That's...
06:41It's actually a really good plan.
06:47It's all for being here.
06:53Oh!
06:55Ah!
06:56Ah!
06:57Ah!
06:57Ah!
06:58Ah!
06:58Ah!
06:59Uh!
07:12Okay.
07:31Okay.

10:05Okay.
10:08Okay.
10:17Okay.
10:33Okay.
10:44Okay.
10:47Okay.
10:49Okay.
10:56Okay.
10:59Okay.
11:05Okay.
11:22Okay.
11:28Okay.
11:30back. Well, that's something else. Is there? Good. I want to talk about mum with you. Yeah,
11:45we do talk about her. We don't. You know we don't. Yeah, okay. I mean, it's weird that
11:53you think that, but, you know. Of course, we will. More. Okay. Yeah. Thank you, Taz.
12:24Police headquarters. St. Helia. Sorry, Jim. She's actually just really busy just at the
12:44moment. Two minutes. Hey. Jim. I didn't see you in the diary. No, I was
12:53just passing, and Wendy said you could squeeze me in. Of course. Take a seat. How's Kim?
13:01Amazing. She's been amazing. Give her my love. I'm sorry. Today is, you can imagine. You
13:10saw the news. I'm just drafting a brief to the minister. Can we set something up for
13:15next week? You said you've assembled your team. I've got Barney Crozier leading. I thought
13:20you might. He's smart. He's solid. Oh. He did a good job standing in for you. Yeah.
13:28Though, obviously, he's not had to deal with anything like this. Oh, he's made a good start.
13:33Sure. I mean, at the start of an investigation, there's established protocols. You know, my
13:40concern would be when it's up and running, because then it becomes about instincts. Experience.
13:50Jim. I'd like to come back in some shape or form.
13:56I'm not sure that's appropriate. Well, it's been seven, eight months now, and I'm...
14:02No one's denying I've... I'm doing okay.
14:09It's six months, Jim. I know.
14:14When... my wife died.
14:20Look, I'm talking about shadowing. That's all.
14:24You're a high-profile victim. It's a different game. We both know it. Things drag on. Press
14:29get restless. Minister starts breathing down your neck. You need someone with experience
14:33who 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. I'll talk to Barney.
15:01I'm not just going to drop this on him.
15:29I'm not just going to do it.
15:30Right, that's bad guys.
15:30And all of us are still going to be five years,
15:38but all the new methods take it home.
15:38You're still managing to student there,
15:38So if you look back at significance,
15:44I don't know if he hasАn't to do it.
15:48Other side хороший to your ass,
16:24Jim, welcome back. Good to see you. How are you?
16:27Oh, my God. So bloody good to see you.
16:28Yeah, yeah. I'm OK.
16:30Great to see you, Jim.
16:31How are you doing?
16:33You think he's back for good?
16:35Yeah.
16:36I think he thinks he is.
16:39Come on.
16:42Jim!
16:44So good to see you.
16:47Look, uh, I just want to say again how sorry I am.
16:50Yeah, yeah, I know. Thank you.
16:53I'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.
17:01No, you're back, but you're not back-backing. It's a... it's a tangle.
17:04Yeah. You're leading, Barney.
17:06I'm just here to enhance. We'll work it out.
17:10Right, team, can we gather? I'd like to get Jim up to speed.
17:13So, 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. It'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.
17:44Various daily staff at the house. Lily's nanny, Mia, 31, Portuguese, and Margaret Heaton, Arthur's 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.
18:02Sixty-plus witnesses, reams of mobile footage showing them arriving at eight, and then returning home about two and a
18:09half hours later.
18:10And the statements from all three say they returned home at eleven to find the annex door hanging open.
18:15Upstairs, they found Kate dead with severe headwinds.
18:18House like this must have security.
18:20Cameras up the wazoo, but the system's been down for a couple of weeks due to a dispute with the
18:25company that installed it.
18:25Mines 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 Prince.
18:45There were some blood traces, but they were smeared, which would suggest that the murderer wiped it clean afterwards.
18:51Okay.
18:52First, 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.
18:59We need the names of the Wakefield's current and ex-employees, household and business.
19:04Already up on the CMS?
19:05And anyone who's applied for work with them, but been refused?
19:08Should have it in the next hour.
19:11Great start, guys.
19:13So pleased you think so?
19:15All right, shall we head to the house?
19:17Guys.
19:39Well, well, well.
19:41Did 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.
19:51Who is Jim Bergerac?
19:52He's going to be like, I should probably just check on your wine cellar.
19:56Brilliant.
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, terrific.
20:30This opera gala night that you were at, Kate was planning to go with you, but she developed
20:35a headache.
20:37So 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?
20:48Well, I didn't think, um, a woman with headache merited a press release, actually.
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
21:02appear.
21:03Right, but this was two weeks ago.
21:05Wasn't it?
21:07It's a long time to leave your home unprotected, Mr. Wakefield.
21:13You know, I thought protecting the public was your job, Inspector.
21:19Gosh.
21:20How 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.
21:33Hmm.
21:34All right, come on.
21:34I'll show you the scene.
21:35Yeah, look, I'll catch you up.
21:38I'm good.
21:40Wasn't learned.
21:47It's Julian, isn't it?
21:51DCI Jim Berserac.
21:53I'm so sorry about Kate.
21:55Here, let me.
22:16I lost my wife.
22:21So, I have, uh, an understanding of, of what you're going through.
22:32You know, something I, I wish someone had told me when, when I was where you are.
22:39You need to respect yourself.
22:42There's a temptation to destroy everything, including you.
22:46Don't do that.
22:48People are going to need you.
22:51Your daughter will need you.
22:57It gets better then, does it?
23:06It's what I'm told.
23:13Tim Bruce, Channel Island voice.
23:15New to Jersey, I take it?
23:17Good to see a fresh face.
23:19I get a bit sick of these tired old hacks.
23:21You're 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.
23:31Tracked 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.
23:5520 minutes ago, he didn't know who he was.
23:58That was 20 minutes ago.
24:23All 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.
25:04Right.
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 as they go past.
25:12You reach there at the top.
25:13Your eyes are drawn this way to the bedrooms.
25:15What do you find in the bedrooms?
25:17Uh, watches, jewelry.
25:18But no, you go that way to the nursery.
25:21What are you going to find in there?
25:22Wait.
25:22What thief takes things on the way in?
25:26Nah.
25:26It's 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.
25:36She reels around.
25:37Bosh.
25:38They 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 of this little island.
25:48So, yeah, they're in the doorway trying to shut Kate up.
25:50How do they reach that?
25:52Look, I'm not saying that it wasn't burglary gone wrong.
25:56I'm saying let's not exclude everything else.
26:05This guy.
26:07Right?
26:20DCI 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.
26:42Do 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.
27:00I think he'd also like to ask you a few questions.
27:04I know what a difficult time this is.
27:07Um, was there anything else, Mark?
27:10Oh, I just thought if 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, she is beautiful.
27:31She sometimes stayed with you.
27:33Is that right?
27:36In your apartment?
27:38Kate and Trillian had a lot of engagements.
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, so that Kate could go to that opera thing,
27:56but she changed her mind, stayed home.
28:00Right, because in the nursery, there is, um,
28:05it's like a little bag of baby clothes in it.
28:10Kate must have just forgotten to unpack it.
28:17How are things between Kate and her father-in-law?
28:21She liked him.
28:23He was kind to her.
28:27And between Kate and, and Margaret?
28:30Good.
28:33Very 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, you and Julian.
29:01Kate could have told someone, I suppose,
29:03but other than the staff, there'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, uh,
29:27have you shown them the letters?
29:28This has no,
29:30this has nothing to do with the damn letters.
29:33Every one of them, okay, today.
29:35I want to change the logs.
29:44Good morning.
29:45I'm Detective Inspector Barney Crozier.
29:48Between the hours of 8pm and 11pm last night,
29:53a young woman was killed.
29:54She has been identified as Kate Wakefield.
29:58Uh, Chief Inspector Bergerac,
30:01have you identified a prime suspect?
30:04Give us a chance, Tim.
30:06Uh, yes.
30:06As you can see,
30:07Jim Bergerac is assisting us on the case.
30:10We're asking...
30:11Are you sure you should be involved in such a serious case,
30:14Mr Bergerac?
30:16I'm not sure I understand the question.
30:18Well,
30:20have you had to reassure the family
30:21that you'll be able to stay focused?
30:26We're incredibly lucky
30:27to have someone with Jim's experience on the team.
30:30Anyone with any information
30:32should contact police immediately.
30:34Detective!
30:36I'll be here, please.
30:37I'll be here, please.
30:37I'll be here, please.
30:38Does this mean you're back full-time?
30:40Jesus, was that a reference to your wife?
30:42Someone thinks to me drinking.
30:44It's out of line, though.
30:46Find out who she works for.
30:47On it.
30:48I'll say something.
30:49How'd it go with Mia?
30:50Fine.
30:50I don't know.
30:51No, weird.
30:52Well, someone had to tell the burglar
30:53there was no CCTV.
30:54No, hang on.
30:55I thought we agreed that burglar
30:56was just one option.
30:58Did you ask Mia about the bag?
31:00Yeah.
31:01Um,
31:02she thinks Kate backed 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.
31:08I want you to go through all the calls
31:10to the incident room,
31:11give them a ring,
31:11see if there's anything worth chasing up.
31:13What?
31:14No.
31:15Normally,
31:16you get a DC to do that
31:17and 99% of those calls are bullshit.
31:20Well, there's always the 1%.
31:23Besides,
31:25you want to enhance, don't you?
31:31How's it going?
31:32Yeah,
31:33pinch me.
31:35What have you got?
31:36Individuals who applied to work
31:37for 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 about this.
31:56He was the one who...
31:57Whoa, whoa, whoa.
31:57Easy, easy, Tiger.
31:59That's just a name on a list for now.
32:01Yeah, if he sees that,
32:02he's going to get distracted.
32:03So why don't we keep this between us?
32:07In the meantime,
32:09you look into his movements last night
32:11and do that discreetly.
32:13Don't spate the horses.
32:26Hello?
32:27Good morning.
32:28Is that Sandra Cook?
32:30Yes, speaking.
32:31Hi, this is Detective Chief Inspector Jim Bergerac.
32:35Oh, right.
32:36You left a message saying
32:37you had some information
32:38which may assist us in our investigation.
32:40Yes, yes, I did.
32:41I'm not sure if it's any help
32:43but last night I had this dream.
32:50I think it was the husband.
32:52I just think he looks really shifty.
32:56Actually, it's not about that.
32:58It's about the bastard upstairs
32:59and his bastard flamenco.
33:05Yeah?
33:06Your mum.
33:07My mum what?
33:17Bad news.
33:18I checked out the email.
33:26The, uh, the name you wanted checking out?
33:34It's a shame.
33:35Thought we were on to something.
33:37Yeah, I'll get over it.
33:42What are you going to do now?
33:43Put it all on a CMS?
33:45Yeah, no, good.
33:46Show me again.
33:50So put that bit on high priority
33:52and that bit on 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
34:24when I was just
34:25passing by.
34:26Thought I'd introduce myself.
34:28Yeah.
34:29Look, uh,
34:29tomorrow's not great,
34:30but, um,
34:32when things calm down,
34:33I'll, uh,
34:34give you a call
34:34and you can sort something out.
34:36Yeah.
34:42Literally spent
34:42half my week here.
34:45Look,
34:45this is a mandatory stipulation
34:48of your involvement
34:48in the case.
34:49Well,
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.
34:56Because I need it,
34:57because I'm actually
34:57here to solve
34:58a fucking murder.
34:59But, fine.
35:00I feel like
35:00it's all getting too much.
35:02I'll give you a call.
35:03How does that sound?
35:08Understood.
35:10Let's talk about it tomorrow.
35:13I'll email you the details.
35:29Nothing of any use
35:30on the call log.
35:31Okay.
35:32Always worth checking, though.
35:39You've got that on the CMS, yeah?
35:42Yeah.
35:43I'll be right back.
35:43I'm sorry.
35:48I'm sorry.
36:00I'm sorry.
36:00I don't know.
36:30Someone to see you, John.
36:37Life on the outside treating you well, John?
36:40Oh, it's not without its challenges.
36:42I need to know your whereabouts between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. last night.
36:45Around the time the Wakefield girl died, right?
36:49It's going to be a regular thing, then.
36:51Every time there's a major crime on the island, I 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, you 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.
37:09Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
37:18Ephesians 4.31.
37:19You're kidding me.
37:20Oh, there's a lot of time to kill in prison.
37:24I 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're saying 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 she?
39:17There's nothing to say.
39:24There's nothing to say.
39:34When Barney and I visited the crime scene this morning, in the nursery, we found a small
39:38bag of clean baby clothes, which looked like they'd been gathered in a hurry and shoved
39:43in 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
39:53Lily 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
40:20daughter of the construction company's CEO.
40:23Oh, what Jim is too modest to mention is that he found the girl, and he brought John
40:29to 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.
40:40Then an ANPR camera picks up a car registered to John Blakely, half a mile from the Wakefields'
40:45house at the time of the crime.
40:47Now, look, this afternoon I spoke to John at work.
40:49He was defensive.
40:50He was evasive.
40:51He claims he found God in prison.
40:52Maybe he did.
40:53But for someone with John's history, a rejection like that from Arthur Waffer's company is
40:57all 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
41:10up at John's work like that, I mean, that could be seen as harassment.
41:15No, I kept it convivial.
41:19Okay.
41:22Okay, I'd buy it.
41:24Let's bring him in.
41:25Great.
41:26We're going full bells and whistles on this.
41:27What can uniform spare?
41:28Yeah, let's go.
41:29Yeah, I'll jump in with you.
41:43What do you reckon?
41:45Five minutes before John cracks?
41:47No, thanks.
41:48I'm not a betting man.
41:49Interview, John Blakely.
41:50September 4th, 2024.
41:54Detective Chief Inspector Jim Bergerak leading along with DC Steve Hobson.
41:59John.
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 Sofaloway.
42:19And 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 pub?
42:3711.30, at which point I drove my colleagues to their respective homes.
42:42I dropped Tom off last, at Clifton, at 12.15.
42:50Kate Wakefield was murdered around 9 p.m., wasn't she?
42:58Or maybe a little after.
43:06What the hell was he thinking?
43:08Would have taken five minutes to find that out.
43:21Hundreds of customers have been undelivered orders.
43:24The collapse of the firm is like...
43:26Let's transform the star and you know how it feels.
43:30Too rich, too high.
43:33Too far.
43:36Too soon.
43:38Police haven't shared any further information at this time, but local sources have named him...
43:43It's okay.
43:44Wait on.
43:45Mr. Blakely 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.
43:55And questions are already being asked about their handling of the inquiry.
44:00Back to Rob in the studio.
44:12Back to Rob.
44:13Later.
44:13Back to Rob.
44:26Back to Rob.
44:27Back to Rob.
44:30Back to Rob, Mike.EEP
