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!

02:33No!
02:36No!
02:38No!
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, but whatever.
03:36Then the girl comes and she tries to do a runner.
03:38Yeah. So, 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 you...
03:46So kind of you to pop by.
03:51Charlie.
03:51Charlie. Sorry 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? So, yeah.
04:03Did you drive? You'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.
04:14After your next meeting, buy a packet of mints.
04:19Go home, Charlie.
04:21Look.
04:22We've been through something unimaginable.
04:25After 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.
04:38As soon as you stop talking, I will deal with it.
04:48Sorry.
04:49It's because you don't work here any...
04:51You're on leave, so the thing doesn't...
04:55Hang on.
04:56I'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 thing.
05:21Yeah.
05:22You think because you're my daughter that I just say the word and this gets forgotten.
05:26I 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.
05:39Just 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 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.
06:28For the weekend.
06:29Right.
06:30I 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...
06:40It's actually a really good plan.

10:00Yeah?
10:01Yeah.

16:36I think he thinks he is.
16:40Come on.
16:42Jim!
16:44So good to see you.
16:47Look, I 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 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 head wounds.
18:18House like this must have security.
18:20Cameras up the wazoo, but the, uh, the system's been down for a couple of weeks due to a dispute
18:24with 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 Prince.
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.
19:13So pleased you think so.
19:15All right, shall we head to the house?
19:17Guys.
19:36Well, well, well.
19:40Did you see who's in the passenger seat?
19:42No.
19:42Jim Bergerac.
19:44Yeah, really.
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. Wayfield.
20:13Detective 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.
20:30Uh, this 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 on your social media, maybe?
20:45Uh, my social media.
20:47Uh, 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.
21:10Mr. Wayfield.
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.
21:33Mm, all 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 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 wish someone had told me when, 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.
22:48You know, people are going to need you.
22:51People are going to need you.
22:51Your daughter will need you.
22:57It gets better then, does it?
23:06That's what I'm told.
23:13Tim Bruce, Channel Island voice. New to Jersey, I take it? Good to see a fresh face. I get a
23:19bit sick of these tired old hacks.
23:21You were asking about Bergerac? Interesting character. Let's grab a coffee sometime, and I'll give you some background.
23:27Jim Bergerac. Solved the Armstrong kidnapping ten years ago. Trapped down the girl to a basement. Found her chained to
23:33a pipe. From that worked out she'd been kidnapped by this guy, John Blakely.
23:37Sure enough, found her DNA in his car. Blakely gets ten years, Bergerac gets a medal. First of three commendations
23:45and the start of a glittering career.
23:47Then, six months ago, his wife dies. He's put on compassionate leave. Hence the drinking.
23:55Twenty minutes ago, you didn't know who he was.
23:58That was twenty minutes ago.
24:05Yeah.
24:05Say it again?
24:07No, thank you. He's only seven.
24:09Hope you have a charge.
24:10Found the end of the...
24:15Barney?
24:24Right, mind if I...
24:25All yours.
24:27Oh.
24:40Sorry, uh, 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. It is identical to that, though.
25:04Right. You want me to play devil's advocate, right?
25:06I don't remember saying that.
25:07These jeweled egg pinks, someone could easily stuff them in a bag or a pocket as they go past you.
25:13You reach there at the top, your eyes are drawn this way to the bedrooms.
25:16What do you find in bedrooms?
25:17Uh, watches, jewellery.
25:18But no, 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?
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.
25:38Bosh.
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, look, 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.
26:28There'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 and 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. This way.
26:58Mia, this is DCI Bergerac.
27:00He'd also like to ask you a few questions.
27:04I know what a difficult time this is.
27:08Was there anything else, Mark?
27:10Oh, I just thought if there's anything Mia can't answer.
27:13Well, 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 Julian had a lot of engagement.
27:41Some days I couldn't wait up for them to return, so...
27:44I would take Lily home.
27:47Bring her back in the morning.
27:50But not last night?
27:51I was going to, so that...
27:53Kate could go to that opera thing, but...
27:57She changed her mind, stayed home.
28:00Right.
28:01Because...
28:02In the nursery, there is, um...
28:05It's like a little bag...
28:06Of baby clothes...
28:08In it.
28:10Kate must have...
28:12Just forgotten to unpack it.
28:17How were things between Kate and her father-in-law?
28:21She liked him.
28:23He was kind to her.
28:27And between Kate and...
28:28And Margaret?
28:31Good.
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.
29:16That'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 with the damn letters.
29:33Every one of them.
29:34Today.
29:35I won't change the logs.
29:44Good morning.
29:46I'm Detective Inspector Barney Crozier.
29:48Between the hours of 8pm and 11pm last night,
29:53a young woman was killed.
29:55She has been identified as Kate Wakefield.
29:58Chief Inspector Bergerac.
30:01Have you identified a prime suspect?
30:04Give us a chance, Tim.
30:06Yes.
30:06As you can see, Jim 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.
30:19Well...
30:19Have you had to reassure the family that you'll be able to stay focused?
30:26We're incredibly lucky to have someone with Jim's experience on the team.
30:30Anyone with any information should contact police immediately.
30:34Detective!
30:35Are you here, please?
30:37Does this mean you're back full-time?
30:40Jesus, was that a reference to your wife?
30:42It's a reference 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. I don't know.
30:51No, weird.
30:52Well, someone had to tell the burglar there was no CCTV.
30:54No, hang on.
30:55I thought we would agree that burglar was just one option.
30:58Did you ask Mia about the bag?
31:00Yeah.
31:01Um...
31:02She thinks Kate packed it.
31:03Before she changed her mind about going to the opera.
31:05So, like I said, burglar.
31:07Anyway, I've got a job for you.
31:09I want you to go through all the calls to the incident room, give them a ring, see if there's
31:12anything worth chasing up.
31:14What? No.
31:15Normally, you get a DC to do that, and 99% of those calls are bullshit.
31:20Well, there's always the 1%.
31:24Besides, you want to enhance, don't you?
31:31How's it going?
31:32Yeah, pinch me.
31:35What have you got?
31:36Individuals who applied to work for Wakefield's company, but were rejected.
31:40One name does spring out.
31:41You are kidding me.
31:43When sorrows come, they come not as single spies, but in battalions.
31:46Yeah, yeah, fucking right they do.
31:49Where's Burglar going?
31:50I've asked him to look through the call logs.
31:52I can do that.
31:53No, that's all right. He was really up for it.
31:55Only I need to tell him about this. He was the one who...
31:57Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, easy, tiger.
31:59That's just a name on a list for now, yeah?
32:01If he sees that, he's going to get distracted.
32:03So, why don't we keep this between us?
32:07In the meantime, you look into his movements last night.
32:11Do that discreetly.
32:13Don't spook the horses.
32:26Hello?
32:27Good morning. Is that Sandra Cook?
32:30Yes, speaking.
32:31Hi, this is Detective Chief Inspector Jim Bergerac.
32:35Oh, right.
32:36You left a message saying you 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.
32:57It's about the bastard upstairs,
32:59and it's bastard flamenco.
33:05Yeah?
33:06Your mum.
33:07My mum what?
33:17Bad news.
33:18I checked out the email.
33:26The name you wanted checking out?
33:34It's a shame.
33:35Thought we were onto something.
33:37Yeah, I'll get over it.
33:42What are you going to do now?
33:43Put it all on our 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?
34:03Yeah.
34:05Yeah, yeah, sure.
34:15DCI Bergerac?
34:16Yeah.
34:17Oh, good.
34:17It is you, uh...
34:18Pete Benedict, your new counsellor.
34:21Look, I mean, we're not scheduled to start until tomorrow,
34:24but 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 and you can sort something out.
34:42Literally spent half my week here.
34:45Look, this is a mandatory stipulation of your involvement in the case.
34:49Well, that's what...
34:50That's what Uma said.
34:51Okay, okay.
34:51Listen, no offence, Pete.
34:53Already love where this is going.
34:54I only agreed to this to appease Uma.
34:56Not because I need it,
34:57because I'm actually going to solve a fucking murder.
34:59But, fine.
35:00I feel like it's all getting too much.
35:02I'll 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 on the core log.
35:31Okay.
35:32Always worth checking, though.
35:39You've got that on the CMS, yeah?
36:30Someone to see you, John.
36:37Life on the outside,
36:38treating you well, John?
36:40Oh, it's not without its challenges.
36:42I need to know your whereabouts
36:43between 8pm and 11pm 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,
36:53I can expect a visit from you.
36:55Well, if 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.
37:05Didn't even get an interview.
37:06Must have been frustrating.
37:07Oh, I don't like to dwell on these things.
37:09Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger,
37:13brawling 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.
37:43Inspector.
37:46Jim.
37:48Listen to me.
37:50Relief when you surrender.
37:53To God's plan in my case.
37:56And to the truth in yours.
38:01It's beautiful.
38:03Tell me where you were last night, John.
38:08And you won't see me again.
38:12Killing 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.
39:15Oh, why would she?
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.
39:55That 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.
40:11One counter-resisting arrest.
40:13He got a job at 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.
40:24What 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 at 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' house at
40:46the 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.
40:53Maybe he did.
40:53But for someone with John's history, a rejection like that from Arthur Waffer's company is all it would take.
40:58It's good.
41:00A bit of a coincidence that your prime suspect is your famous caller.
41:04That kidnapping is 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, that could be seen as harassment.
41:15No, I kept it convivial.
41:19Okay.
41:22Okay, I buy it.
41:24Let's bring him in.
41:25Great.
41:26We're going full bells and whistles on this.
41:27What can uniforms bear?
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.
41:51September 4th, 2024.
41:54Detective Chief Inspector Jim Berserak leading along with D.C. 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.
42:19And 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 much, too high.
43:33Too far.
43:36Too soon.
43:38Police haven't shared any further information at this time,
43:42but local sources have named him as John Blakely.
43:44Leave it on.
43:45Mr. Blakely was convicted of child abduction
43:48after a high-profile police investigation ten years ago.
43:51But his arrest and subsequent release
43:53are something of an embarrassment for the police.
43:55and questions are already being asked
43:58about their handling of the inquiry.
44:00Back to Rob in the studio.
44:24I'm done.
45:26She's gone!
45:28She's gone! Someone's taken Lily!
45:55She's gone!
45:59She's gone!
46:01She's gone!
46:02She's gone!
46:03She's gone!
46:04She's gone!
46:05She's gone!
46:07She's gone!
46:07She's gone!
