MUSIC: Casta Diva from Norma by Bellini

They talk about the five stages of grief.

I think that's a myth. I think there are dozens.

Or maybe it's the same five, and I'm...

I'm caught in this loop,

going through the same ones over and over again.

And of course, what drink does, what drink did, was flatten it out.

No... No! GLASS SMASHES

You know what I realised? We say "blind drunk".

Our sight is obliterated,

our awareness is obliterated.

Argh...Argh.No.

Argh!

No!

No!

Argh!

I love my wife, present tense,

because love doesn't end with death.

It just changes shape.

If I'm drunk,

I'm not present, for this part of our marriage,

I'm absent, obliterated.

BABY CRIES

I drank because it hurt too much.

I've stopped because it's meant to.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Thanks for listening, folks.

MOBILE VIBRATES

Jim Bergerac.

Hey.

What happened?

She was having a meal in a restaurant.

They think it's a bit odd, 14-year-old kid on her own, but whatever.

Then, the bill comes and she tries to do a runner.

So, called you, but you were unavailable.

She got bored after a bit so gave us

the number of her grandmother and she is...

Oh, God, don't tell me you... So kind of you to pop by.

Charlie. Sorry you got dragged out.

It's a bit of a mix up. Anyway. I'll take things from here.

I'd like to make sure my granddaughter is all right.

I'm sure she's fine. She's fine, isn't she?

See? So, yeah. Now, did you drive?

You'll need a thing for the car park.

Where were you?Where was I?

I was at an AA meeting, since you ask. Like we agreed.

Word of advice.

After your next "meeting", buy a packet of mints.

Go home, Charlie.

Look, we've been through something unimaginable,

after which, a period of adjustment is to be expected, but this...

This is chaos.

Er, keep things in perspective, shall we? She's a teenager.

Who's been arrested,

and is now in a cell apparently next to somebody called "Vegas".

As soon as you stop talking, I will deal with it.

DOOR LOCK BEEPS

Sorry. Er...

It's because you don't work here any... you're on leave,

so, the thing doesn't...

Hang on, I'll make you a guest pass.

You have my attention.

Oh, God! Seriously, Dad, Let's not make this a thing.

No, trust me, it's a thing. Yeah. You think...

you think, because you're my daughter that I just say the word

and this gets forgotten? I have to contain this now.

Well, just tell them I'm acting out.You are acting out!

I mean, this is just so unnecessary.

Just talk to me.

Did they tell you what restaurant it was?

It was Tommassi's.

Where we'd all go to... All right, yeah.

I know.

Listen, let's just... Can we just stick a pin in that?

What can we do...now? What do you... What do you need?

And there we go. What? I'm not saying that...

I'm just... I'm saying...

..one thing at a time.

I'd like to stay with Granny for the weekend.

Right. I meant, like a day out?

But, no. Er. You need some space, you know.

I need to tidy the house. That's...

That's actually a really good plan.

DOG BARKS

Oof...

TELEVISION NEWS:Returning to our top story,

the body discovered by police at St Brelade's Bay has now been identified as that

of Cate Wakefield. Reporters spoke earlier to Chief Constable Uma Dalal.

Chief Constable, is this a murder inquiry?

I am not in a position to release any more details at this time.

Jersey Police don't have much experience

with crimes of this nature. Are you sure your officers have the necessary skillset?

Serious crimes of this nature are rare,

that's true, but the team will be working tirelessly

to bring this matter to a swift conclusion. Thank you.

One more question...

Give me five minutes.

Hey.Hey.Hey...

Oh, look, I wasn't sure what you needed,

so I grabbed, erm...

everything.So I see. Oh, my God, my bed is so comfy.

And Grandma made me

an omelette this morning and it was amazing.

Yeah?Yeah. Well, maybe I should come

and stay. What do you think, Charlie?

No, you should. I'll muck out one of the stables.

I... Well, I'll come and pick you up on Monday.

What?We have decided that Kim should stay here indefinitely,

until you are in a position

to better help her process what has happened.

She needs an environment that is calmer. More...sober.

Sober, as in...? As in the opposite of this.

And this is Kim speaking, is it? No, it's me, I recognise my voice.

It's me, Dad,

This is coming from me. I need you, but not this you.

Yeah. Right. No, I understand.

Yeah, no. The last few months have... Have been...

But, no, I am turning a corner.

I've turned a corner. I'm going back to work.

I don't know if you saw on the news, the body they found at St Brelade...

You're going to be investigating that?

Er, it happened very...

They've asked me to lead, I'm taking it slowly.

That feels like a big step, Dad.

No, it isn't. Honestly. This is a new...

It's a new chapter. And I'm ready, you'll see.

And then... Then, you can come back.

Well, there's something else. Is there? Good.

I want to talk about Mum. With you.

Yeah, yeah, we do talk about her. We don't. You know we don't.

Yeah, OK.

I mean, it's weird that you think that.

But no, of course. We will.

Um... More.

OK.Yeah.

Thank you, Dad.Oh...

Police Headquarters. St Helier.

Sorry, Jim, she's actually just really busy, just at the moment.

Just give me two minutes. Could I just pop in ahead of you?

Hey. Jim? I didn't see you in the diary.

No, I was just passing and Wendy said you could squeeze me in.

Er, of course.

Take a seat. How's Kim?

Amazing, she's been...amazing.

Give her my love. I'm sorry, today is...

You can imagine. You saw the news?

I'm just drafting a brief to the minister.

Can we set something up for next week?

You said you've assembled your team.

I've got Barney Crozier leading. I thought you might.

He's...smart.

He's solid.

Ah, he did a good job standing in for you.

Yeah. Though obviously, he's not had to deal with anything like this.

He's made a good start.Sure.

I mean, at the start of an investigation,

there's established protocols. You know my concern would be when it's up and running,

because then it becomes about instincts.

Experience.

Jim...I'd like to come back, in some shape or form.

I'm not sure that's appropriate.

Well, it's been seven, eight months now and I'm...

Nobody's denying I've... I'm doing OK.

It's six months, Jim.I know...

..when my wife died.

Look, I'm talking about shadowing, that's all.

A high-profile victim, it's a different game,

we both know it. Things drag on, the press get restless,

minister starts breathing down your neck.

You need someone with experience, who can bring this in quickly.

You support.

Barney stays the lead.

If that's what you think is best. And you have counselling.

I'll make a referral to occupational health.

Sure.... Sure.

Totally.

Go for a walk. I'll talk to Barney.

I'm not just going to drop this on him.

MOBILE VIBRATES

Jim. Welcome back, so good to see you. How are you?

Oh, my God, so bloody good to see you.How are you?

I'm OK.Great to see you, Jim. Hey, Paul, hello.

How you doing?

You think he's back for good?

I think he thinks he is.

Come on.

Jim!

So good to see you.

Look, I just wanted to say again how sorry I am.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Thank you.

I'll be honest. I'm not thrilled about this, as a process.

No, I understand that. I mean it's a mess.

I mean, you were Head of Crime Services. Then, I was...

Acting, technically.And now you're back, but you're not back-back.

And it's a... It's a tangle.

Yeah. You're leading, Barney. I'm just here to enhance.

We'll work it out.

Right, team, can we gather? I'd like to get Jim up to speed.

So, victim is Cate Wakefield, 26.

Married to Julien Wakefield, 30.

And daughter-in-law of Arthur Wakefield,

CEO of AWE. That's Arthur Wakefield Engineering.

They and Cate's baby daughter

Lily are all resident at Arthur's house in St Brelade.

AWE's brand is ethical practices, environmentally-friendly materials.

It's made them a lot of friends. Arthur's on various planning boards,

advisory panels, governmental bodies.

They're popular, connected, and as far as we can see, clean.

Various daily staff at the house. Lily's nanny Mia,

31, Portuguese. And Margaret Heaton,

Arthur's, er, chief of staff. So, last night,

Arthur, Julien,

and Margaret attended a charity event at the Opera House.

Thank you. Cate was meant to go with them, but she had a headache,

stayed at home with Lily. 60-plus witnesses,

reams of mobile footage showing them arriving at eight

and then returning home about two and a half hours later.

And the statements from all three

say they returned home at 11 to find

the annex door hanging open.

Upstairs, they found Cate dead, with severe head wounds.

A house like this must have security.Cameras up the wazoo.

But the system's been down for a couple of weeks due to

a dispute with the company that installed it.Minds are open,

but everything points to burglary-gone-wrong.

Thief or thieves are interrupted by Cate,

reach for the first thing that comes to hand,

that's where it all gets a little bit Cluedo.

Big, heavy candlestick. Cate takes two blows,

one to the temple, one to the back of the skull.

It's gone to forensics,

but we're not holding out too much hope for prints.

There were some blood traces, but they were smeared,

which would suggest that the murderer wiped it clean afterwards.

OK, first we need to establish who knew there was no CCTV.

I'm putting a list together now, including employees of

the company that Arthur's in dispute with.

Yeah, and we need the names of the Wakefields' current

and ex-employees, household and business.

Already up on the CMS.

And anyone who's applied

for work with them but been refused.

Should have it in the next hour.

Great start, guys.

So pleased you think so.

Right, shall we head to the house, "guys"?

HORN BEEPS

Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me... Any comments on the murder?

Well, well, well. Did you see who was in the passenger seat?

No.Jim Bergerac.

Really?Who's Jim Bergerac?

Maybe that's why they were late getting here.

They had to search every pub in Jersey to find him!

But who is Jim Bergerac? He's going to be like,

"I should probably just check on your wine cellar."

LAUGHTER Brilliant!

Mr Wakefield.

Detective Inspector Barney Crozier. We met very briefly last night.

Let me introduce Detective Chief Inspector Jim Bergerac.

I'm sorry for your loss, Mr Wakefield.

Thank you, yes. It's erm... It's horrific.

Er, this opera gala night that you were at,

Cate was planning to go with you but she developed a headache?

So, who knew about the change of plan?

No-one. Maybe the staff.

Was it announced in any way? On your social media maybe?

My social media?

I didn't think, erm, "woman with headache" merited

a press release, actually.

I hear you're in dispute with

the company that installed your security system.

Yeah, well, when they realised who I was,

a lot of extra costs suddenly started to magically appear.

Right, but this was two weeks ago, wasn't it?

It's a long time to leave your home unprotected, Mr Wakefield.

You know,

I thought protecting the public was your job,

Inspector. Gosh...

How stupid am I?

Yeah, that did sound a smidge like victim blaming there,

Jimbo. Didn't we all have to do a course on that?

Yeah. Bit rusty.

Hmm. Right come on, I'll show you the scene.

Yeah, look, I'll catch you up.

I'm good.

Lesson learned.

It's Julien, isn't it?

DCI Jim Bergerac. I'm so sorry about Cate.

Here, let me.

I lost my wife.

So, I have an understanding of what you're going through.

There's something I wish someone had told me,

when I was where you are.

You need to respect yourself.

There's a temptation to destroy everything,

including you. Don't do that.

People are going to need you.

Your daughter will need you.

It gets better, then, does it?

So I'm told.

Tim Bruce, Channel Island Voice. New to Jersey,

I take it? Good to see a fresh face.

I get a bit sick of these tired old hacks.

You were asking about Bergerac. Interesting character.

Let's grab a coffee some time. I'll give you some background.

"Jim Bergerac.

"Solved the Armstrong kidnapping ten years ago.

"Tracked down the girl down to a basement,

"found her chained to a pipe.

"From that, worked out she'd been kidnapped by this guy,

"John Blakely. And sure enough, found her DNA in his car.

"Blakely gets ten years. Bergerac gets a medal.

"First of three commendations

"and the start of a glittering career.

"Then, six months ago, his wife dies.

"He's put on compassionate leave. Hence the drinking."

20 minutes ago, you didn't know who he was.

That was 20 minutes ago.

Say it again.

Copy that, Sarge.

Barney.

Right, mind if I...?All yours.

Oh.

Sorry, can you get a shot of that?

Yes, boss.

Thank you.

Baby clothes.

Just shoved in there like someone packed in a hurry.

I take it that's not THE candlestick.

No, that 1's back at the lab. It is identical to that, though.

Right. You want me to play Devil's Advocate, right?

I don't remember saying that. These jewelled egg things,

someone could easily stuff them in a bag or

a pocket as they go past. You reach the top,

your eyes are drawn this way, to the bedrooms.

What do you find in bedrooms? Er, watches,

jewellery... But no, you go that way, to the nursery.

What are you going to find there?

Wait, what thief takes things on their way in?

Nah. It's pitch black, they're confronted by Cate.

She scrambles back, yells for help,

they follow her in, try to shut her up...

Candlestick. Bosh.

She reels around. Bosh. They scarper.

Where was the candlestick? On the floor.

No, before it was used on Cate.

I'm guessing on the opposite side of this little island.

So, yeah, they're in the doorway trying to shut Cate up,

how do they reach that?

Look, I'm not saying that it wasn't burglary gone wrong,

I'm saying let's not exclude everything else.

This guy...

Right?

DCI Bergerac? Margaret Heaton,

Mr Wakefield's Principal Private Secretary.

I thought I should say hello.

Er, there's a bag packed in the nursery.

Would that be the nanny? Mia, is it?

Correct. Sometimes, if Mr Wakefield junior

and his wife are away for the night,

Mia will take Miss Lily back to her own apartment.

OK, do you know where Mia is now?

I believe she's already been interviewed.

Belt and braces.

Of course. This way.

Mia, this is DCI Bergerac.

He'd also like to ask you a few questions.

Thank you.

I know what a difficult time this is.

Erm...

Was there anything else, Margaret?

Oh, I just thought,

if there's anything Mia can't answer...

Right, well, I'll know who to ask. Thanks so much.

Is this Lily?

Oh, she's... She is beautiful.

She sometimes stayed with you, is that right?

In your apartment?

Cate and Julien had a lot of engagements.

Some days, I couldn't wait up for them to return, so

I would take Lily home, bring her back in the morning.

But not last night. I was going to,

so that Cate could go to the opera thing,

but...she changed her mind, stayed at home.

Right, because in the nursery there is, erm,

like a little bag, of baby clothes in it.

Cate must have just forgotten to unpack it.

How were things between Cate and her father-in-law?

She liked him, he was kind to her.

And between Cate and... And Margaret?

Good.

Very good.

One big happy family, then.

Have you shown them the letters?

Who knew about the CCTV being down, aside from myself, you, and Julien?

Cate could have told someone, I suppose.

But other than the staff, there's no-one.

You think it was one of the staff? Opportunity, motive,

means... It's how it usually works.

So, I want them gone, all of them.

But this is... Have you shown them the letters?

This has noth...

This has nothing to do with the damn letters!

Every one of them. Today. Oh, and change the locks.

Good morning.

I'm Detective Inspector Barney Crozier.

Between the hours of 8pm and 11pm last night,

a young woman was killed.

She has been identified as Cate Wakefield.

Er, Chief Inspector Bergerac,

have you identified a prime suspect?

Give us a chance, Tim. Er, yes. As you can see,

Jim Bergerac is assisting us on the case. We're asking anyone...

Are you sure you should be involved in such a serious case, Mr Bergerac?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Well, have you had to reassure

the family that you'll be able to stay focused?

We're incredibly lucky to have someone

with Jim's experience on the team.

Anyone with any information should contact police immediately.

Thank you.Detective...Can you tell us any more?.. over here, please.

Does this mean you're back full time?

Jesus, was that a reference to your wife?

It was a reference to me drinking.

Well, it's out of line, though. Find out who she works for.On it.

I'll say something. How'd it go with Mia?

Fine. I don't know. No, weird.

Well, someone had to tell the burglar there was no CCTV.

Hang on, I thought we agreed that burglar was just one option.

Did you ask Mia about the bag?

Yeah. Erm...

She thinks Cate packed it before she changed her mind about going to

the opera. So like I said, burglar.

No...Anyway, I've got a job for you.

I want you to go through all the calls to

the Incident Room. Give them a ring,

see if there's anything worth chasing up.

What? No. Normally, you get a DC to do that,

and 99% of those calls are bullshit.

Well, there's always the 1%.

Besides, you want to enhance, don't you?

How's it going?

Yeah, pinch me. What have you got?

Individuals who applied to work for Wakefield's company

but were rejected. One name does spring out.

You are kidding me! When sorrows come,

they come not as single spies, but in battalions.

Yeah, yeah, fucking right they do.

Where's Bergerac going?I've asked him to look through the call logs.

Well, I can do that.No, that's all right, he was really up for it.

Only, I need to tell him about this. He was the one who...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, easy, tiger.

That's just a name on a list for now.

Yeah? If he sees that, he's going to get distracted.

So, why don't we keep this between us?

In the meantime,

you look into his movements last night.

Do that discreetly. Don't spook the horses.

RING TONE

Hello?Er, good morning, is that Sandra Cook?

Yes, speaking.

Hi, this is Detective Chief Inspector Jim Bergerac.

Oh, right.

You left a message saying you had some information which may assist us

in our investigation.Yes, Yes, I did. I'm not sure if it's any help,

but last night, I had this dream.

I think it was the husband.

I just think he looks really shifty.

Actually, it's not about that. It's about the bastard upstairs and his bastard flamenco.

Yeah?Your mum.

My mum what? SNIGGERING, HANGS UP

Bad news. I checked out the... Shh, shh, shh.

Them er... the name you wanted checking out.

It's a shame. Thought we were onto something.

Yeah, I'll get over it.

Er, what you going to do now?

Put it all on our CMS? Yeah. No, good. Show me again.

So, put that bit on high priority

and that bit on medium priority.

I did say that out loud, yeah?

Yeah... Yeah, yeah, sure.

DCI Bergerac?Yeah.

Oh, good, it is you. Er, Pete Benedict,

your new counsellor. Look,

I mean, we're not scheduled to start until tomorrow.

But I was just passing by, thought I'd introduce myself.

Yeah, look, tomorrow's not great.

But when things calm down, I'll, give you a call and we can sort something out.

I literally spend half my week here.

Look. This is a mandatory stipulation of your involvement in the case.

Well, that's what Uma said. OK, listen, no offence, Pete...

Already love where this is going. ..I only agreed to this to appease Uma,

not because I need it, because I'm actually here to solve a fucking murder.

But fine. I feel it's all getting too much,

I give you a call - how does that sound?

Understood.

Let's talk about that tomorrow. I'll email you the details.

Nothing of any use on the call log.

OK. Always worth checking, though.

Pop that on the CMS, yeah?

Someone to see you, John.

Life on the outside treating you well, John?

Oh, it's not without its challenges.

I need to know your whereabouts between 8pm and 11pm last night.

Around the time the Wakefield girl died, right?

This going to be a regular thing, then?

Every time there's a major crime on the island, I can expect a visit from you?

Well, if it fits your offending profile.

Except, we both know that I don't have an offending profile.

Two weeks after you were released,

you applied for work on a Wakefield Construction site.

Didn't even get an interview. Must have been frustrating.

Oh, I don't like to dwell on these things.

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger,

"brawling and slander, along with every form of malice." Ephesians 4:31.

You're kidding me.Oh, there's a lot of time to kill in prison.

I found His light.

And with His light came the power to forgive.

Specifically, you.

Although, some days are easier than others.

I admire your consistency.

You sang the same fucking song all through your trial.

No-one believed it then.

Inspector...

Jim...

Listen to me.

The relief when you surrender, to God's plan,

in my case, and to the truth, in yours...

..it's beautiful.Tell me where you were last night, John...

..and you won't see me again.

Killing Cate Wakefield.

There.

I confess.

Ah, Mia. Perfect timing.

In light of recent events, I'm afraid we'll be letting you go.

Effective immediately. You'll be given a month's salary.

This is as per your contract.

You'll see it's just above the NDA clause.

You're.. You're firing me?

I believe you have a set of keys to Mrs Wakefield's car.

What about Lily?

Yes, leave her too.

I didn't tell him anything.

When I spoke to the policeman, I didn't say a word.

Well, why, would you? There's nothing to say.

BABY CRIES

When Barney and I visited the crime scene this morning,

in the nursery, we found a small bag

of clean baby clothes which looked

like they'd been gathered in a hurry,

and shoved in a bag. On the way into the nursery,

there are several small, expensive items,

all left untouched. We've been looking at this all wrong.

Cate wasn't killed because she walked in on a burglary,

but an attempted abduction of Lily Wakefield.

Now, could be a business rival, a former member of staff,

someone with a grudge. It's a long list.

But one name really sprang out.

John Blakely.

Now, for some of you, this was before your time,

so, a bit of background.

John didn't pop onto our radar until his early 20s.

Nothing major, credit card fraud, one count of resisting arrest.

He got a job on a building site as a joiner,

and he calmed down for a bit.

But then he gets sacked after getting into a fight,

and so he kidnapped the 14-year-old daughter of

the construction company's CEO.

What Jim is too modest to mention is that he found

the girl and he brought John to justice.

John was sentenced to 15 years, released after ten on parole.

Then, he applies for a job on a building site run by, guess who?

The Wakefields.

His application is rejected out of hand.

Then an ANPR camera picks up a car registered

to John Blakely, half a mile from the Wakefield's house at

the time of crime. Now, look, this afternoon,

I spoke to John at work. He was defensive,

he was evasive. He claims he found God in prison.

Maybe he did, but for someone with John's history,

a rejection like that from Arthur Wakefield's company is all it would take.

It's good.

Bit of a coincidence that your prime suspect is your famous collar.

That kidnapping's not the only crime I've solved, Barney.

No, no, and with your wealth of police experience,

you don't need me to remind you that you pitching up at

John's work like that...

I mean, that could be seen as harassment.

No, I kept it convivial.

OK...

OK, I buy it. Let's bring him in.

Great. We're going full bells and whistles on this.

What can uniform spare?

What do you reckon? Five minutes before John cracks?

No, thanks. I'm not a betting man.

Interview, John Blakely. September 4th, 2024.

Detective Chief Inspector Jim Bergerac leading,

along with DC Steve Hobson.

John.

Jim.

You work at Winsford's boatyard.

This is a work placement since your release from La Moye Prison.

Yes.What time did you leave work last night?

Around 6:30, 6:45. What did you do after that?

I drove three of my colleagues, including my boss,

Tom Winsford, to a pub on La Rue du Saut Falluet.

And having dropped your colleagues, what did you do then?

I stayed. It was quiz night.

We came second.

It was a tie-breaker, actually.

"Zagreb is the capital city of which country?"

What time did you leave the pub? 11:30.

At which point, I drove my colleagues

to their respective homes. I dropped Tom off last,

at Clifton...

..at 12.15.

Cate Wakefield was murdered around 9pm,

wasn't she?

Or maybe a little after?

What the hell was he thinking?

It would've taken five minutes to find that out.

NEWS REPORT:Police haven't shared any further information at this

time, but local sources have named him as John Blakely. It's OK, leave it on.

Mr Blakely was convicted of child abduction after

a high-profile police investigation ten years ago.

But his arrest and subsequent release are something

of an embarrassment for the police,

and questions are already being asked about their handling of

the inquiry. Back to Rob in the studio.

She's gone! Someone's taken Lily!
