00:00My dad's car by the cliffs with a note inside, but no body. He's never been found.
00:08This was two weeks before my graduation. He was coming up to Manchester.
00:13He'd booked his train ticket, a hotel, he'd even bought a new suit.
00:18I just don't think that sounds like someone planning to kill themselves.
00:22But why do you think your mother might have killed him?
00:24Dad phoned me four days before he died.
00:27He was crying.
00:29He said him and Monica had had a fight.
00:31She'd been drawing a carving knife when she just snapped.
00:35She threatened him with it.
00:37Literally, like, pointed it at him.
00:41And would you believe it, a few days later, he was dead.
00:44And you didn't say anything to Monica?
00:49No, not at the time, no.
00:52But I did seven years later, though.
00:55I told her what I thought she'd done.
00:56Why then?
00:57And that was when Dad was officially declared dead.
01:00So Monica arranged this, like, memorial service.
01:05And I watched her and she was relieved.
01:09And she was happy.
01:12So I told her I knew about the knife.
01:15I said, I think you killed him.
01:20And that, it destroyed our relationship.
01:26But over the next few years, I started to have doubts.
01:29I started to think maybe I was wrong.
01:32And I...
01:35I missed her.
01:37I missed my mum.
01:38But now you're saying, again, she killed your father?
01:41Because then I found out about Tony saying no more secrets.
01:44Because then I found out that he was stabbed.
01:50Uh, just give me two minutes.
01:53Okay.
01:55So Nicola's dad, Alan Barton's disappearance, was properly investigated at the time, but it
01:59was deemed not suspicious.
02:01Was there any mention of Monica threatening him with a knife?
02:03Oh, yeah.
02:03Hang on.
02:05Yeah.
02:05She said that he imagined it.
02:06You know how it came out at the, uh, memorial service?
02:09Yeah, there was a big argument.
02:10It was a bit more than an argument.
02:12Nicola was cautioned for harassing Monica and being drunk and disorderly.
02:16She made the accusation to the officer that arrested her and the CCRC.
02:20They reopened the case.
02:21They went through it all again.
02:22But they were happy that the original investigation was sound.
02:24It's been through the mill twice already.
02:27Okay.
02:28Yeah.
02:28Thanks, Alan.
02:29No worries.
02:35Uh, thank you for bringing this to our attention, Nicola.
02:38Um, leave it with us and, uh, we'll reach out if there's anything else we need.
02:41Oh.
02:42Right.
02:43So that, that's it then.
02:49Gotcha.
03:01Thanks for your time, DCI Bergeron.
03:12We just bury.
03:17And we think it's the right thing to do.
03:19What's that?
03:20Tony's speech is on Facebook.
03:22Christ.
03:22The whole thing?
03:23Since when?
03:23Uh, I went on a couple of minutes after he made it, uh, on the Jersey golfing group.
03:29The lad that posted it is a caddy, but he was also helping out at the, uh, hotel with the
03:33catering.
03:35It was his first gig.
03:36I don't think he's going to be getting another.
03:37How many people are in that group?
03:38Uh, 87.
03:39Cara, can you get that taken out?
03:40Yeah, it's okay.
03:41Yeah, I'll see what I can do.
03:45Hey.
03:46Did you see that?
03:47The video of the speech?
03:49Yeah.
03:49Last thing we need.
03:50Right.
03:50Where were we with Richard's report?
03:51Okay, so, Tony was acquitted of causing death by dangerous driving on three counts.
03:57Ice on the road, his clean blood alcohol test, and a witness.
04:00Witness was the barman at the pub where Tony spent his evening.
04:04But Andy Todd was mistaken.
04:06The witness did not say that Tony was drunk.
04:08His statement at the inquest said Tony was drinking orange juice all night.
04:10Now, ask me who the barman was.
04:12Who was the barman?
04:14Carl Furman.
04:15Carl.
04:15Used to work for a living.
04:17Apparently he wasn't always the lovable heroin addict we now know.
04:20But like I said, his statement says Tony was stone-cold sober.
04:23What did Nicola Barton want?
04:26She claims Monica killed her father.
04:28And so killed Tony to cover it up.
04:29Jesus, based on what?
04:31Nothing.
04:33A feeling.
04:34It's just like Andy, you know, she just wants to make sense of a shitty, shitty thing.
04:39Is this the whole file?
04:40Yeah.
04:41It says here that Carl was interviewed the morning after the crash.
04:45But all I can find here is the inquest statement.
04:49Where's the original statement from the day after the crash?
04:53Carl's initial statement is missing.
04:55And if it was assigned a document number, then it was here.
04:58It's been removed.
05:00Sometime between then and now.
05:02You think Carl's original statement said that Tony was drunk and he changed his story at the inquest?
05:05Let's make that our first question.
05:07Now, that might be tricky.
05:09I just talked to robbery.
05:09They're already looking for Carl, but he's hiding under a rock somewhere.
05:12Okay, get on to response.
05:13I want everyone looking for Carl Furman.
05:15In the meantime, let's pay Richard Gibbon a visit.
05:18Don't you think that's a bit premature?
05:21I mean, it's one missing statement.
05:23What?
05:23It's just a conversation.
05:24It was his case after all.
05:26Look, if Andy Todd wants to make an accusation of corruption, we should be going to professional standards.
05:29Okay, what would we say to them?
05:31Yeah?
05:31Andy didn't even give us a name.
05:35Okay, but this has to be strictly fact-finding.
05:37There can be no mention of the C word.
05:39Trust me, five minutes will reach it, and you'll want to use the C word.
05:42But yeah, it's purely for background.
05:46That said...
05:48That said what?
05:49That said...
05:51What's this?
05:52Just a hunch.
05:55Uh, bear with.
06:00Just...
06:00And you know, Richard Gibbon is in the same Facebook group where the speech was posted.
06:06Okay?
06:06So he sees the speech, yeah?
06:09He rushes over to the hotel to stop Tony from exposing their secret.
06:12And we don't know that they had a secret.
06:13And we don't know that they didn't.
06:15So look, they talk, they argue, yada yada, because that is not a guest or a member of staff.
06:23So let's find out where Richard was on Saturday night.
06:32Thank you, my love.
06:33Yes.
06:34Uh, thank you, Mrs. Gibbon.
06:35You're welcome.
06:3630 years next month?
06:38I've been lost without her.
06:40Absolute carcass.
06:41Shadow of my former self.
06:44Oh, I'm so sorry, Jim.
06:45How insensitive.
06:46No, it's fine.
06:48Keep your eye on this one.
06:50Such precocious talent.
06:52Right from the get-go.
06:53Yeah.
06:54Lone Wolf, we called him.
06:56Didn't like to mix with us mere mortals.
06:58Or maybe that was just me.
07:00Lone Wolf?
07:01You'd be terrible if the rest of the team heard about that.
07:03Oh, and hard luck on the promotion, Barney.
07:05Tough year this year.
07:07But we thought your interview was, um, really something.
07:12Richard.
07:13Uh, we wanted to ask you, uh, about an RTA.
07:17Uh, the Route de la Trinité, winter, 15 years ago.
07:20Gosh, hold on.
07:21Uh, BMW in a tree.
07:22Route de la Trinité.
07:24Accessing memory banks.
07:26Oh, passenger died.
07:27Is that right?
07:28Yeah.
07:29Driver survived.
07:30Oh, yes, it's coming back to me now.
07:31So Muggins here to take him to the hospital.
07:33for a blood test.
07:34Was that really 15 years ago?
07:36Why are you asking about it now?
07:37With the Hotel de Clermont murder.
07:40The victim was Tony Salinger, the driver of the car.
07:43Good Lord.
07:45You know, I thought the name rang a distant.
07:48And you think the two things might be related?
07:50Oh, well, we don't know.
07:51Yet.
07:54But someone has made an allegation of corruption.
07:57That's, well, it's very vague.
07:59Uh, look, they didn't even give us a name.
08:01I'm just, uh, you know, connected to this incident.
08:08Well, I'm afraid that's all I remember.
08:10As I say, it was a long time ago.
08:12Absolutely.
08:13And, uh, all of this is purely for context.
08:15But we have already taken up too much of your time, so, Jim, we should go.
08:19I haven't finished painting.
08:20Uh, just look, so we have the full picture.
08:22Where were you between 7.45 and 8.30 on Saturday evening?
08:26Bird-watching.
08:28Bird-watching.
08:28Atlas-Oché.
08:29Bird-watching?
08:31At night?
08:32I'm sorry?
08:34It's a bit late.
08:35I...
08:35It's a bit late, no?
08:37At night?
08:38I can't see how that would work.
08:40The Night Jar.
08:42It's nocturnal.
08:43Hence the name.
08:45Do you bird-watch alone?
08:47I do.
08:49It's great to see you, Richard.
08:59We agreed.
09:00We said no mention of corruption.
09:01That was the plan.
09:02It's got a very nice house for a superintendent, don't you think?
09:05And his wife doesn't work.
09:06I wonder when he bought it.
09:08I wonder if it was after Tony's car accident.
09:11You think Tony bribed him, and that's how Tony ended up with the negative blood test?
09:14It'd be a pretty solid motive to keep him quiet.
09:21What's that?
09:22There might be birds, Lys Oché.
09:24But you know what there isn't?
09:26CCTV.
09:27Which is the kind of thing only a police officer would know.
09:30Okay.
09:30I will check traffic cams between here and there Saturday night for his car.
09:33Sighting of Carl Furman at Fort Regent.
09:35Suspect ran south from officer.
09:37Two officers now searching the surrounding area.
09:40Any units in the vicinity...
09:41Five minutes away.
09:42With this guy, I'm going off.
09:54Beautiful.
09:54They're up on the west side.
10:12All right, go ahead, Kaimo.
10:17I'm going off on the east side.
10:20Let's go.
10:21Let's go.
10:26Let's go.
10:28Let's go.
10:33Let's go.
10:39Let's go.
10:42Oh, fuck.
10:45You all right?
11:03Go, go!
11:22Fuck!
11:23Fuck!
11:34Come on, love.
11:36I'm going to be late.
11:37I'll try to restrict Charlie's access to the moral high ground.
11:52Something smells interesting.
11:54Bottarga.
11:55It's Sicilian.
11:56It's the cured eggs of a grey mullet.
11:58The question is, what to pair it with.
12:01A bucket, probably.
12:05Did you get a chance to look over the guest list for your leaving party?
12:08Uh, no, not yet.
12:09Oh, let's do it now then, shall we?
12:10Nigel, we have the list.
12:11Oh, yes.
12:12I should be your glamorous assistant.
12:14Thank you, sir.
12:16Should have worn a leotard.
12:19Go.
12:20That was good.
12:21These are, what, Kim's friends?
12:23Yeah?
12:23Kim's friends' parents.
12:26Who, uh...
12:27Who, sorry, who, who are these people?
12:29Who's better round for you?
12:30They're my friends.
12:31I rarely get to show off this family, and it's lovely, finally, to have something to celebrate.
12:36You're very welcome to bring your friends, Jim.
12:39Do you have friends?
12:40I don't think I've ever seen you with one.
12:42Yeah, I have friends.
12:44Oh, you could bring that really hot guy you work with.
12:47Uh, Bernie?
12:48I have no idea who that is.
12:50Obviously, we can't all fit into Tomases, so I've moved it to the Lido.
12:55Won't that be fun?
12:56All you have to do is show up in something that's not that.
12:59Could we not have something smaller?
13:01Just, uh, just us, just family.
13:03Let's put it to a vote.
13:05Who's for a smaller affair?
13:08I don't have my glasses on, but I don't think Kim voted for that.
13:11We're so not getting into this.
13:15So, who's for a more fitting send-off for our wonderful virtuoso?
13:20Well, as Kim has not voted for some, and furthermore, reason, that makes a tie.
13:25Oh, what about you, Nigel?
13:27Nigel gets a vote.
13:27I get a vote.
13:28No.
13:29I thought about what you said, Jim, and yes, maybe I have been a little overprotective of Nigel.
13:35I'm sure he can cope with a few gossiping septuagenarians.
13:39So, Nigel, as you're now part of the family, you should vote, too.
13:42Oh, right.
13:43Uh, blimey.
13:45In that case, I vote for a fitting send-off.
13:51Wonderful.
13:52That's decided, then.
13:53And nothing less than she deserves.
13:55I'm sure it'll be a lovely evening.
14:08Hi.
14:09Whoever wanted to see me?
14:10Just take a seat.
14:15I always get major headmaster's office vibes here.
14:18Yeah.
14:19Oh, so look, I looked into the route between Richard's house and the Saussure on Saturday night.
14:23He's got two ways he can get there.
14:24I mean, one as a trafficker.
14:25Let me guess he took the other one.
14:26Yeah.
14:28If that's where he went.
14:30All right, let's widen the search and see if we can pick his car up anywhere near the hotel.
14:34Good morning, Anna.
14:35I wouldn't be so sure about that.
14:45Obviously, you both know Superintendent Richard Gibbon.
14:49I think we should talk about yesterday afternoon, don't you?
15:10I'm sorry about yesterday.
15:12It was the news about Tony.
15:14It brought back a lot of stuff about Dad.
15:21Well, I love Dad, too, you know.
15:24You forget that sometimes.
15:26I know that sounds harsh.
15:28But you do.
15:31I want to ask you something about the things Dad said before he died.
15:37Oh, Nicola, please.
15:39It would help me understand why he killed himself.
15:42I want us to be honest with each other.
15:46He was, um, he was working too hard.
15:51He wasn't sleeping.
15:53Sometimes it was about money.
15:55And then it would be something else.
15:56It would be, um, his health, his job.
15:58This is what I don't, Anna.
16:01Because every time I spoke to him, he seemed fine.
16:04It was because he didn't think that there was anything wrong with him.
16:07And some days, there wasn't.
16:09He was cheerful.
16:09He was affectionate.
16:11But, um, it made it worse in a way.
16:13Because I'd wake up and I wouldn't know who he'd be.
16:19Is that what the carving knife was about?
16:24Because you can tell me.
16:26I'd understand if you were frightened of him.
16:31No, I told you that never even happened.
16:35It wasn't well.
16:37He can't have been to leave you.
16:40Only me.
16:42I hope you don't mind.
16:42I took us out of your keys.
16:51You're back.
16:54I come here more in sorrow than in anger.
16:58If there is an allegation of corruption,
17:00you should take it straight to professional standards.
17:03Immediately, what you do not do, it...
17:11There is a clear and established protocol.
17:14You know this.
17:15Rules are there for a reason.
17:17Rules are our guardrails.
17:21Sorry.
17:23Sorry.
17:25Sorry.
17:28Because this could be seen, and I'm not saying it was, but this could be seen as harassment.
17:35Just answer it, Jim.
17:36No, no, no, no.
17:37I'm putting it on mute.
17:41There you go.
17:42Carry on, Richard.
17:42Sorry.
17:44Sorry.
17:44I just want to make sure that we don't see a repeat of this, and that in future, protocol is
17:50followed.
17:50It will be.
17:51Thank you, Richard.
17:52And now, I'm sure these two gentlemen would like to offer you a full and unreserved apology.
17:59Absolutely.
18:00I apologize for any distress our actions may have caused you or Mrs. Gibbon.
18:04Thank you, D.I. Crozier.
18:13Ditto.
18:20Okay.
18:21It should only have been me in there.
18:23Feel free to say I told you so.
18:26But for him to go to a funeral like that, that was beyond petty.
18:29That was to get us to back off.
18:30Why would he do that if he didn't have anything to hide?
18:33I'm going to go back through his report, word by word.
18:35I come here more in sorrow than in anger.
18:37What a prick.
18:39Okay, great.
18:39Look, let's find his car.
18:41I found exactly where he was when Tony was stabbed.
18:42Christ, who is this?
18:43Look, I'll see you upstairs.
18:44Rules are our guardrails.
18:45Shut the fuck up.
18:47Berserak.
18:49Michael?
18:50Hey.
18:50Whoa, slow down.
18:54She's done what?
19:09Emma, such a good turnout.
19:11Did you tell them you were dying?
19:12No, darling.
19:13I told them you were going to eat a carbohydrate.
19:15They didn't want to miss it.
19:17And who might you be?
19:19Oh, this is Nigel.
19:20He and I are seeing each other.
19:22Nigel, this is Emma and Don.
19:24And how long has this been going on?
19:27I'm very new.
19:28It's a pleasure to meet you both.
19:30It's quite a handshake there, Donald.
19:32I'm going to guess some yachtsmen.
19:3432 foot berth and gaunt.
19:36And what do you say?
19:37I used to surf, believe it or not.
19:40I was going a little less ballast.
19:42You don't surf anymore?
19:44There's too much keeping me on dry land these days.
19:48You see that?
19:49You see how he talks about her?
19:51I bet he doesn't sign her birthday card best wishes.
19:56No, she hasn't.
20:01Who is that?
20:02Millie Fathersham.
20:03I told you about her.
20:04Her husband's been arrested for insider trading.
20:07She's having to rent out her annex as an Airbnb.
20:11And that's nowhere to live.
20:12I'll ask Bobby to escort her out.
20:14No, that would be vicious.
20:16Move her to the table by the kitchen and tell the waiter's not to serve her.
20:20She should get the message.
20:24Hello.
20:25Nigel Morton.
20:26I'm here with Charlie Hungerford.
20:27But then, you know Charlie, don't you?
20:30Charlie, look.
20:31It's Millie.
20:33I've never been here before.
20:34Excuse me.
20:37Millie.
20:38Scandal.
20:39Obviously suits you.
20:40Look at those cheekbones.
20:49I can't believe it, you can't stop.
20:53Finally.
20:58Uh, is everything okay?
20:59Arrest her.
21:01She was secretly recording Mother with her phone.
21:03Coming here.
21:05Pretending you're still family.
21:06Trying to entrap people like a...
21:08Like a spy.
21:11Hasn't Mother been through enough?
21:13Nicola, could you wait outside?
21:18Fine.
21:27I'd like to speak to Micah.
21:30Well, I'm not stopping you.
21:32She's right there.
21:33Alone.
21:38Michael.
21:38What?
21:40Michael.
21:42It's okay.
21:45Come on.
21:50Why does Nicola think you killed her father?
21:53Because she can't accept what he did.
21:57Because it would mean that he didn't love her.
22:00Nicola's an alcoholic.
22:01Nicola's a mess.
22:02And, um...
22:06You know, I know that some of that is my fault.
22:11But...
22:13Nicola's dad has to own some of that, too.
22:17Doing what he did broke all our hearts.
22:19Michael's, too.
22:21I think that's why Michael found it so difficult
22:24to accept my relationship with Tony.
22:26I wanted to ask you just a couple questions about Tony.
22:31Um...
22:31Did he ever talk to you about the car accident?
22:34Fifteen years ago?
22:37Yeah, a bit.
22:39His passenger died.
22:41He was devastated.
22:42He used to dream about it.
22:44Did he ever mention someone called Richard Gibbon?
22:46He's a police officer.
22:48Gibbon?
22:49Um...
22:50No.
22:51I've never heard that name.
22:52Okay.
22:52And you're saying that there was tension
22:55between Michael and Tony.
22:57When Tony told me that we were going to lose this house,
23:00we talked about selling the cottage.
23:02But it's Michael's home.
23:03And, um, he doesn't cope very well with change.
23:06Michael needs stability.
23:08Needs peace.
23:10We all do.
23:12Especially Nicola.
23:14Nicola.
23:14I think she needs it more than anyone.
23:19No.
23:21No.
23:22No.
23:33You were trying to entrap her.
23:36I thought if I caught her off guard, she'd slip up.
23:38I'm sorry, but what do you expect me to do?
23:40You made it pretty clear that you weren't going to pursue it any further.
23:43Because it's been investigated.
23:44Twice.
23:45Look, carefully.
23:49I know.
23:54Look, maybe...
23:57Maybe Dad wasn't well.
24:01Maybe he hid it from me.
24:02If he did,
24:04it was to protect you.
24:07It's what Dad's do.
24:16Look, perhaps it would be best if you...
24:18I went back to Manchester.
24:20Best for who?
24:23Best for who?
24:24For everyone.
24:26Because this isn't helping.
24:28You.
24:29Uh, her.
24:31The case.
24:33I'll keep you informed of any developments.
24:36You will?
24:41Somewhat will.
24:59Here we are again.
25:01Here we are again.
25:01Here we are again.
25:02Here we are again.
25:28Hello?
25:29Hi, my name is Ruth Salinger.
25:31I'm Tony's sister.
25:32Can you talk?
25:37I found Richard on Saturday night.
25:39He lied.
25:40He was nowhere near the associate.
25:42His car was on the road headed to the hotel two miles out.
25:45That's 20 minutes after Tony's speech goes on Facebook.
25:48Then nothing for an hour until we catch him on the same road coming back.
25:51There's plenty of time to kill Tony.
25:54Okay.
25:56This is great.
25:57You think this, with Carl's missing statements, you think they make a case?
26:01On their own.
26:02And this needs to be watertight.
26:04Right.
26:05Okay.
26:07We know that Richard was at the hospital for Tony's blood test.
26:12We know, we think that there are two different statements.
26:15One said Tony was drunk, one says he wasn't.
26:16We know it's possible that Richard saw the footage from Tony's speech.
26:20We know that he did lie about his movements the night Tony was killed.
26:23All right.
26:23You're Richard.
26:25How do you remove the alcohol from Tony's blood?
26:30It's flopped the blood.
26:34Have you got the result?
26:35Yeah.
26:38Kara?
26:39Have you got the interim post-mortem yet?
26:41Yeah, on your desk.
26:41It arrived this morning.
26:43Really?
26:44What did you tell me?
26:45I did.
26:45I showed it to you.
26:47You were busy.
26:47You just wake me away.
26:50Doesn't sound like me.
26:51It does.
26:52Uh, okay.
26:53Uh, blah, blah, blah.
26:55Probable cause of death.
26:55Knife wound to the chest.
26:56How do they do it?
26:57Uh, what was Tony's blood type when he gave his staff at the hospital?
26:59A positive.
27:00Well, that's weird.
27:01Because when he died, he was O positive.
27:06Now we have a case.
27:11Right, well, if Richard wants proper channels...
27:13Well, then that's exactly what we give him.
27:15Inform professional standards.
27:16Let them handle it.
27:17I will write a joint report on the professional standards portal now.
27:19Then we send.
27:20Okay, what shall we do now?
27:21Shall we hug?
27:22No, we don't hug.
27:23Come on, Jim.
27:23Bring it in.
27:24No, I'm good.
27:25You're not a lone wolf anymore, Jim.
27:26You open up your heart.
27:27I swear to God, you touch me and it's a salt.
27:28Ha ha ha!
27:31I've known Monica since she and Tony started dating, but I don't know her, know her.
27:36So I needed to speak to someone who does.
27:41I wanted to ask you about the accusation you made against her, that she killed your dad.
27:47Why'd you ask?
27:50I tried to ascertain what she's capable of.
27:53But Tony told Monica he was a partner in my company, and obviously he isn't.
27:56But he was worried that that was what she loved about him, and that if he told her that
28:01she'd leave him and call off the wedding.
28:04And what if Tony was right, and that is all Monica wanted?
28:08She invests all this energy into their relationship.
28:10She thinks she's getting this lifestyle, and then she finds out that he's been lying to her.
28:15What would her reaction be?
28:17What if that's what no more secrets meant, and he told her that night?
28:21And that's what got him killed.
28:26What?
28:31Well, great.
28:43Well, it's the best home.
29:07Jim, you've come to apologize properly, or haven't you done quite enough damage to your career for today?
29:13Either way, now is not the time I've got the chairman of the Rotary Club here.
29:17Should we pop something in the diary for tomorrow? We'll invite Uma.
29:20You need to excuse yourself.
29:21Me time.
29:50You need to excuse yourself.
29:55Monitoring, there was a request to locate Carl Furman.
29:57Picked up on a camera on the north end of Clearville Street.
30:00Yeah, not Clearville Street.
30:06Cheers.
30:20According to his interim post-mortem, Tony Salinger's blood type was O positive.
30:25Marvelous.
30:28Fascinating.
30:29And?
30:33This is the lab work for Tony Salinger's blood sample, the one that came back negative for alcohol.
30:39The sample that you were responsible for supervising, the one that got him off causing death by dangerous driving.
30:45The strange thing is, here, Tony's blood type is A positive.
30:53Your sample was not Tony Salinger's blood.
30:59It is what I think happened.
31:01You switched the blood to save Tony.
31:03No, no, that's not true.
31:04But then years later, he's about to come clean.
31:06You panic, you rush over to the hotel, and then you kill him to cover it up.
31:08I've never killed anyone, and I've never, never been corrupt.
31:13Well, I mean, you have the floor.
31:16And while you're at it, can you explain how a superintendent's salary gets you a house this size?
31:20With this view?
31:22Bought the year after Tony's acquittal.
31:24I bought it with the money I inherited after my mother's death.
31:27You can check.
31:28We will.
31:30And this?
31:53Tony Salinger was in A&E.
31:55It was taking ages, so I wandered off.
31:59When I came back, the blood test had been done.
32:01I picked up the sample, signed for it, and that was that.
32:03I didn't think anything of it.
32:04Where did you go?
32:09I'm not proud of this, I imagine.
32:13I was having an affair with a lady who worked at the hospital, a nurse.
32:20She was on duty that night, so I...
32:22So we...
32:25Look, I was gone maybe half an hour, certainly not more.
32:28Darling, what's going on?
32:29You need to carve the joint.
32:30I'm so sorry.
32:32Perhaps Dennis could do the honours?
32:34Please don't wait.
32:35I'll be in very shortly.
32:36Just nodding some eyes and teeth here.
32:41When I came back from my...
32:45activity, I swear the blood was just there, ready for me.
32:49This nurse, what was her name?
32:52How is that relevant?
32:53I need to talk to her.
32:56Annie Franklin.
33:15Now tell me where you were Saturday night.
33:19Because you wanted Le Socher.
33:20In fact, you're very close to Tony's hotel when he's murdered.
33:26My relationship with Annie is ongoing.
33:29So I was at her house outside St. Juan.
33:32It's, I don't know, maybe a mile and a half away from that hotel, off the same road.
33:37She's, uh, where I go when I go birdwatching.
33:42Please, please don't tell Julie.
33:44Here's to 30 years of wedded bliss.
33:47Listen.
33:48If the blood changed, somebody else must have done it.
33:51Then thank God we're not relying on you to find out who...
33:54Look, we all know the reason you're such a snickler for protocol is because you have zero instincts.
34:02No skills.
34:03No intuition.
34:05I'll see myself out.
34:07Enjoy your dinner.
34:10Better one mistake in 35 years than being vain, cavalier and arrogant.
34:15Your disregard for protocol isn't charming, Jim.
34:18It's dangerous.
34:18It will end up getting someone killed one day.
34:21Might not be you, but someone always gets hurt.
34:24I don't know it.
34:27I like that's what you're doing.
34:44I don't know what IT's like to say Siric.
34:44So go, I don't know the way.
34:46Ah, fuckin' help me.
35:11Oh, it's alright, it's alright. Easy. Easy, mate. Hang on. I'm a police officer, yeah?
35:20I just want to ask you a few questions.
35:23Now, it's about when you were a barman, okay? Do you remember you gave testimony at an
35:29inquest 15 years ago? You said that someone who crashed their car was sober?
35:35Yeah. Yeah, I remember.
35:38Really? So, what do you remember?
35:42I remember because the guy came back. He paid me ten grand.
35:52I remember because Sally died.
35:56So, the man that you told the police was drunk, he came back and he paid you to change your
36:02testimony at the inquest and say that, what, he hadn't been drinking?
36:05I had to say I got it wrong. I used to work with Sally. She was so beautiful.
36:18And he killed him. Because he was drunk. And I... I took his money.
36:29Okay. Oh, no, look. Hang on. Hang on, Carl. Wait. Listen.
36:35I understand. And it's okay because the case could be reopened and if it was, would you be
36:41willing to testify again? Say what really happened? Tell people that, well, the man was drunk and then
36:47he bribed you? Yeah. Yeah. See, that's brilliant, Carl. Right? So, if I drive you to the police station now,
36:55would you be willing to say what you just told me again? But on the record?
36:58I don't know. I... I don't think I could handle that. Not now.
37:02Carl, mate. Maybe tomorrow. I could do. I could do. I could do tomorrow.
37:07Carl. Addiction is... it's an illness, mate. So...
37:13How about I give you a little something to tide you over? Yeah. Yeah, just...
37:20Just... just to get us to the police station. See, look. I brought you this. Good lad.
38:00I'll see you next time.
38:29Oh
38:49Yeah
