All language subtitles for Bergerac.2025.S01E04.720p.UKTV.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-RAWR_track3_[eng]

That family...

They're not what
they show the world.

It wasn't Mia and Tomos.

They've got a solid alibi.

You know what he did.
Yeah, but what if he didn't?

What if Bergerac really did
try to falsify that evidence?

I hear you have a story for me.

Why did you go back to work?

Grief was defining me.
Because I was a mess.

Because I needed
to prove something.

We were gonna talk, weren't we?

Er, yeah, we will.
You keep saying that.

Ellie, these photographs
were on your phone.

They're of the Wakefield house.
Did you take them?

Cate sent them to me.

So Cate's got a second phone.

The last text that Cate sent
to Ellie.

Well, if you won't expose Arthur,
I will.

Whoever killed Cate
will be brought to justice.

I'm missing zumba for this.

Well, you don't need it.

You look top notch.

That came out wrong. I...
Didn't it just?

Morning, good morning,
good morning. Erm...

Right. I just went
to the opera house.

Well, I had to track down
the guy with the keys

and get him out of bed first.

So, on the night
that Cate was murdered,

Arthur and Julien Wakefield are
sat up here, yeah? In the box.

Yeah.Margaret is down there
in the stalls.

Now, we've got witness statements
saying that Arthur

and Julien didn't leave the box
during the performance.

But when the lights are down,
during the performance,

you can't actually see into the box.

So Arthur and Julien could have left
and no-one would have seen them.

Er, yeah,
but we spoke to the ushers,

who said that nobody left
until the interval.

Yeah, so outside the box,
there is a short corridor

with two doors.
One door leads to the, erm...

what-do-you-call-it.
The...The landing.

The dress circle!
Another door opens onto a stairwell,

down a fire escape,

leading to an alleyway
behind the theatre.

So Arthur could have
slipped out of the box,

down the fire escape,
back to the house,

killed Cate, back to the theatre,

mingled in with the crowds
after the interval

and absolutely no-one
would have seen them.

Or Julien.

You said Arthur could have slipped
out. But Julien could have too.

Yeah. Arthur or Julien.
Yeah, I said that.

Or Margaret, come to that.
Well, no, Margaret's the only one

with an alibi that we can
corroborate,

because there was an usher on duty

outside the door to the stalls
all evening.Er, no.

Arthur and Julien both gave
statements that says

that neither one left the box
throughout the performance.

Yeah, I know.
And we just believe them?

Influential, high-status
individuals, they're like

"it wasn't us," and we're like,

"yeah, I mean, I guess
it rules THEM out."Jim...

Yeah, except now that
we know that Arthur,

not only does he have a motive,

because Cate was going to
expose him as a fraud,

he also had opportunity as well.

Well, you're right about one thing.

Arthur Wakefield is
a high-status individual.

He's a former Member of the States,

not to mention the advisory
committees he's on, the...

It doesn't mean that
he's above the law.

It means we have
to tread carefully.

Fine. Well, I promise
I'll play nice.

You promise you'll play nice when?

Well, I want to arrest him.

Absolutely not!

See, this, this right here, this is
how they get away with it.They?

Yes, rich, powerful men. Guilty men.

Because everyone is too scared
to stand up to them.

Yes, you're right,
I'm quite the establishment stooge.

Well, I want to search
his house, then.

Come on, Cate had
a second, secret phone

that she's hidden somewhere.

I mean, who knows
what we're going to find on that?

Cate wouldn't hide a phone
containing compromising information

about Arthur in his house.

Yes, but if he killed her,
he could have taken it.

Fine. But don't antagonise him.

New line of inquiry,

really appreciate his cooperation,
all that.

Er, thinking about this, maybe
it is best Jim is lead on this.

I mean, it's his suspect,
it's his theory.

That's incredibly selfless of you.
Thank you, Barney.

Where are we with the ransom money?

I've been in touch with
the banks, the high-end stores.

That money will pop up
sooner or later.

Keep me posted. Go away.
Thank you.

Watch him. I don't want
to spend the rest of my career

teaching schoolkids
how to cross the road.

Ah. Sorry for the intrusion,
Mr Wakefield.

As a result of new information
which has come to light,

we've obtained a warrant
to search the property

for digital and electronic devices
belonging to Cate Wakefield.

Let's not be coy, DCI Bergerac.
We both know what's going on here.

Did you know that Cate was
in contact with Ellie Robson?

Ellie had shared her... concerns

about your purchase
of her father's company.

I don't know what Ellie
would have gained from that,

but the Robsons had hired
a team of lawyers

to go through the contract
line by line.

Cate... she was a lifeguard
from Coventry.

Had they missed something,
I hardly think

she'd be the person to find it.

Fond of her though I was.

Anyway, erm, tell your officers

to help themselves
to tea and coffee,

and I think Margaret might have
left out some biscuits.

Barney.

Look, I've got to go.
I've got a thing, and then

I'm having lunch with my daughter.
I'll be back about two.

Whoa, where? What about the search?

Well, keep going. You never know,
you might find that phone.

He's up to something.

Yeah. Probably looked like
I was hiding there,

but I was actua...
I had to search that area.

Mm-hm.

We've got a suspect.

He's powerful.

He's connected.
He's a bit of a bully.

And so bringing charges against him
is gonna be...a challenge.

Sounds like quite a breakthrough.

It is. Yeah, it is.
And so this, this is a distraction.

If... just if I'm honest.
It's a split focus.

So you'd like to stop.

Look, I am stable.

I'm sober. You know?
I'm meeting Kim later for lunch.

We're going to talk about her mum.
I'm actually going to initiate that.

I'm better at this than I thought.

Yeah, you are. And so, you can
tell Uma that I'm fixed. Yeah?

Why don't you tell her?It would be
better coming from you, I think.

But look, hey, I can...
do you have, like, Yelp reviews?

I could leave a good review.
I'd be very happy to do that.

And what about tomorrow?

Well, I just said,
I won't be coming.

Your mental state tomorrow.

See, grief is like a minefield.

You're fine, you're walking along...
Click! You're in pieces.

I know there might be
some bad days.

I don't think you know how bad.

I lost my wife too.

Nine years ago. Heart attack.
She was 36.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I was... well, you can imagine.

I was not a person.

I was just grief.
The patron saint of grief.

A therapist saved my life.
Literally.

It's... it's why I became one.

And it's why I offered
to take you on as a client.

You asked for me?
Well, no, I mean that sounds...

No, Uma sent a request out
to a bunch of us

and I guess I was the one
who responded first.

But the reason I did so
was because...You've been here.

And I have a map with the way out.

You are in a different world now.
Different rules apply.

1st of May, 2014,
Sophie Armstrong is abducted.

Sophie's found by Bergerac
on the 4th of May.

She identifies you by your voice.

So you're arrested,

your house searched,
your car seized.

But they don't have enough
to charge you, so you're released.

This is a request
to search your car by Bergerac.

7th of May.

When they find a strand of

what is later discovered to be
Sophie's hair.

You're charged, you go to court,

you go to prison.

You were smart, though.

Getting your lawyer to request
all the evidence under

the Freedom of Information Act.

Yeah, yeah,
he went through all this,

he said there wasn't anything

reliable that we could use
in an appeal.

Yeah. The problem is,
your lawyer is an idiot.

I kept thinking "if there's
a request to search John's car,

"there must be one for his house."
There isn't.

You know why?
It's so fucking obvious.

Searches are automatic.
When someone's arrested,

police can search any property
in their possession or control.

So I looked, and sure enough,

a search WAS done on your car
straight after you were arrested.

And it found nothing.

So this is an additional search.

Specifically requested by Bergerac.

Which magically produced
the evidence.

He planted it!

HE EXHALES

I knew it!

I knew it.

This hair is literally the only
reason that I went to prison.

This proves it. This...

He stitched me up.

Hmm.

There's not enough.

What? What are you talking about?
This is great.She's right.

It's still basically John's word
versus Bergerac's.

That is not a story,
that is gossip.

Was there anything else?

Not in the police evidence.
But take away forensics

and the case gets sketchy.

The victim was blindfolded
the whole time,

so she could only identify
John by his voice.

I'm talking to her later.

Yeah, but in the meantime,
you can publish with this, right?

Not really. There's no follow-up.

You want to release
a story in instalments,

each one getting bigger and worse.

This is just one big sugar hit
and then nothing.

There's nowhere to go after this.
Yeah, but with the right campaign,

the right push from the newspaper,

I mean, that's got to be
enough to, I don't know,

get Bergerac suspended, surely?

It doesn't work like that. Look,

you said you had a story for me,
and you might.

I just haven't found it yet.

I'll talk to the girl,
and then I'll talk to Bergerac,

and then we'll see where we are, OK?

Yeah.

Jesus.

No pleasing you, is there?

Because we're on the back foot!

Doing these random,
retaliatory actions.

It was your idea.

Please don't call it an "idea".
It was...

It was damage limitation.

Just as falling down
a flight of stairs

and grabbing something
is not a "strategy".

No, it's survival.

The custody desk called.

Uniform have arrested someone
with a wad of the ransom money.

Kara's interviewing them now.

He was trying to buy
a five grand watch for cash.

Luckily, we'd issued
the serial numbers

to all the high-end stores.
The shop owner is suspicious,

checks the numbers, and sure enough,
it's the ransom money.

He keeps the guy talking while
the assistant calls the police.

You think he's working with
Mia and Tomos?

He says he doesn't know them.

Says he didn't know about
the abduction or the murder,

he's never even heard of
the Wakefields.

Says he was just hired
to make the ransom call

and grab the money from
Julien Wakefield.

Hired by who?
A mate of a mate of a mate.

That's conveniently vague.

And at no point he thought
this is a bit suspicious?

He thought it was, and I quote,
"a rich dude sex thing."

OK, let's massively park that.
Where's the rest of the cash?

He was told to leave it at
a parcel drop locker in Almorah,

in time for a pick-up at 1.45 today.

Well, it's 20 past. We need to get
eyes on that drop location now.

Yeah, I will get this idiot
stowed away in a cell,

call Jim and head over.

Er, Jim is busy having lunch
with his daughter

and generally sabotaging his career
today, I think.

No. This is the first bit of
good luck we've had.

Go. Go, go, go!
OK.

Sorry, sorry, I had a meeting...

It's OK.
..that overran.

I ordered for you.
Full English, no tomatoes,

white toast,

The "happy heart attack",
I think they call it.

HE LAUGHS
Perfect.

Erm...
Remember when we came here with Mum

and they forgot the side of bacon

she ordered
with her veggie breakfast?

HE LAUGHS
Yeah.

Yeah, and she didn't
want to be difficult

because she knew how busy they were.

But, my God,
she really wanted that bacon.

And then I laughed at her

and she threatened
to throw my phone in the sea.

Then you gave her all your bacon
and half a sausage,

and she looked at you
all heart-eyes.

She always loved
a low-grade pork product.

DCI Bergerac! I was right.

I was passing, and, erm,

I see your car and thought
it'd be rude not to say hello.

So who's this?

Kim. His daughter.

She's beautiful. Sure she's yours?

Would you give us a sec, love?

Why don't you look at
the cakes, yeah?

Choose one for Granny.

This is...

You can't do this.

I'm sorry, am I encroaching
on your territory?

Is this about this morning? Jesus.

Sorry for any disruption

while we try to find out
who's killed your daughter-in-law.

I know exactly what you're doing.

You know, you really should
get a DNA test. She's stunning.

Don't you look...
Don't fucking look at her.

All right?

So just say
what you came here to say.

Well, you'll hear soon enough.

Ask me what you want to ask me.

Unless, of course,
it's did I kill Cate.

Because you won't believe
the answer.

Did you even like Cate?

You know, naivety,
it's like a mental illness.

It's all skipping through meadows
for the person who has it.

And a pain in the arse
for the people around them.

That's very moving.

Look at you, clutching your pearls.

You're far more ruthless
than I could ever be.

In fact,

I think you're the most
dangerous man I've ever met.

Hey, you're back.
What did you go for?

Er, death by chocolate.
Good choice.

What a way to go.

It's nice to meet you, Kim.

And I'll see you soon, DCI Bergerac.

Who is he?

Er, just...

Just somebody connected to the case.

Erm, I'm just gonna...

I just... well, I just need to pee.

HE EXHALES FORCEFULLY

Boss?Hey, look,
something I need you to do.

Check all traffic CCTV
and speed cameras

for any car
connected to the Wakefields

during the opera performance.

Every possible route from
the theatre to their house.

Can you get Simon to do that?
I'm not at the station.

Why, where are you now?

SHE SIGHS

I need to go. I'm really sorry.
There's been a...

Something's come up at work,
and I need to be there.

Yeah, sure, no worries.
Yeah, but I can drop you home...

sorry, at Granny's first?

I'm so sorry.

Honestly, Dad, it's fine.

Shit, he's early.

Kara?'Suspect has picked up
the bag. Should we intercept?'

How long till backup?
'15 minutes.

'We'll lose him if we don't go now.'

Pick him up now. I'm on my way.

OK, ready...? Let's go.

You stay in the car, OK?
Whatever happens.

Why, what might happen?
Nothing.

But just stay in the car.

Oh, shit!

Stop, police!

SCREECH OF TYRES

Hey!

Dad!

Ugh!
KIM SCREAMS

Aargh!

Kim!

I'm OK.

I'm OK.

Julien!

I'm so sorry, love.

It's not your fault.
You told me to stay in the car.

You shouldn't have been
anywhere near there.

You go. I'll handle this.

No, I'll talk to her.

It's fine.

The secret is,
don't break eye contact.

We got caught up in something,
and, erm...

I told her to stay in the car.

So, it's her fault.
No, no...

OK, look, I didn't mean that.

I was arresting someone
and they made a break for it.

And they ran into her.

I know what you're doing. Yeah.

I've interviewed much scarier people
than you, Charlie.

Much more intimidating people
than you.

So this... this won't work.

Just do me a favour
and step away from the knife.

You and I have had
our disagreements.

But I never thought
Kim was unsafe with you.

Of course... of course
she's safe with me. Jesus.

But she'll be scarred.

No, she won't. It's tiny.
It might not even be a scar.

Look, I feel like shit
about it, yeah?

I'm aware of how it looks.
It won't happen again.

How do you know?

Because I will be more aware.

Things are spiralling, Jim.

What things? No... No, they're not.

You can go now.

Are you dismissing me?

Is that what's...
I'm being dismissed.

Yeah.
Right.

She is fine.

Is Julien's lawyer here yet?

He says he doesn't want one.

He doesn't want one?
It would be a Wakefield lawyer,

wouldn't it?
Someone from the firm they use.

Jeez. He doesn't want his father
to know he's been arrested.

This family. They are insane.

Wait, you can't interview him yet.
We need to search the annexe first.

No. Forensics have been there
for a week.

You know what I mean.

Look, we can't risk Arthur
getting suspicious.

I don't want him
to know about Julien either,

not yet. It'll be fine. Honest.

So, let me get this straight.

You paid someone
to ransom your own daughter?

Did you also pay Mia and Tomos
to kidnap her as well?

No. I just, erm,
took advantage of the situation.

You'll have to help us out here.

I was walking past her room
when I saw Tomos take her.

And, erm, I went to stop him,
of course. But then I stopped.

Why?

Because I knew that
she would be safer with them

than with me.
You see what it is is...

is-is that I, erm,
I owe some money,

or someone thinks that
I owe them some money,

and I do owe them some money,

but I want it written down
that it is not fair, you see.

Who?

I can't tell you that.

Have they threatened you?

They've done more than that.

Do you think they killed Cate?

I think you better tell us
their name, don't you?

Er... Rachini Wilson.

She runs this card game
from the back of...

The back of her little arcade.
Yeah, we know Rachini.

Well, it wasn't very much
at first...

..then I had this losing streak.
Erm...

How much? Well, let me guess.
250,000.

She said that she would wait
and extend my credit.

I just needed one big win.
Or a few big wins.

Yeah, she stopped waiting.

Why didn't you ask your father
for the money?

You've met my father.

And that would have been worse
than... Jesus. ..this?

You don't know what he can be like.

What can he be like, Julien?

That's all I'm prepared
to say right now.

Rachini Wilson. Where to start?
Loan sharking,

bit of pimping, bit of dealing.

But her primary income stream are

the private poker games
that she holds in

the backroom of her arcade
in Almorah.

Guests play the house and losses
are collected

at the little cash booth in
the arcade. £500 for a £1 token.

Any debt collection is delegated,
so she keeps her hands clean.

She's one of the nastiest criminals
in Jersey, but she is smart,

so not so much as
a parking ticket to her name.

We've discovered that
Julien Wakefield is in debt to her

for £250,000.

None of this is Rachini's style.

There'd be indicators. We'd know.

That's right - usually when she
takes a drill to someone's kneecaps,

she leaves behind a silk glove(!)

No, I'm saying she doesn't
kill people.

Well, for a quarter of a million
pounds, she might diversify!

To what end?

To scare Julien Wakefield.

To say "pay up or you're next".
No.

I'm not going to sell this to you,
Jim. We are talking to her.

SIREN WAILS

TYRES SCREECH TO HALT

Go, go!

Round the back.

Police, stay where you are!
Stay back already!

Stay where you are, do not move.

Get down, get down on the ground.
Stay where you are.

Just need to confirm
your name, please.

Do I have to tell you?
Yes, sir, you do.

I have the right to ask you.

Good afternoon, Mrs Wilson.

I'm Detective Inspector Crozier.

Can you tell me where you were on
the evening of Tuesday

the 3rd of September,
between 7.30pm and 10.30pm?

Before I answer that, I need you
to tell me if I'm under caution.

No...Not yet.

I was here.Well, we'll need access
to your CCTV, then,

so we can pull all the data.

Is that Jim Bergerac
lurking back there?

Get that beautiful face over here.

Rachini.

DI Crozier wants
to look at my CCTV.

How far back do you want to go?

Just as far as last Tuesday.

I'll tell you what.
Let's round it up to two weeks.

Last Tuesday will be fine.

You know, it would help if I knew
what this was about.

It's about the murder
of Cate Wakefield.

Murder? Come on.

We know that Julien was
a regular here.

We know that he owed you
a lot of money.

And we also know that
you subcontract people

to "encourage" that recovery.

There's an implication there
I'm not thrilled with.

It's a murder investigation,
Rachini. For what it's worth,

I don't think murder is your style.
But we can be a real ballache, yeah?

We can poke around your finances,

issue warrants
to search your properties.

So why don't you
answer our questions?

You can save everyone
a ton of paperwork,

and then you and your buddies can
enjoy the rest of your day.

If someone owes me money,
it's their debt.

Not their wife's, not their kid's.

When was Julien last here?

Three weeks ago. Let's just say
he did not have a good night.

OK, was that when you told him
you were calling in his debt?

No. That was Tuesday night.

He called, asked if I could
raise him a stake.

Said he'd got a sure tip on
the horses and if it came in,

he could clear his debts.

So he called you? When was this?

Here we go. 8.22pm,
seven-minute call.

Is that a landline number?
Old school.

We're gonna need that.

If I'm not under caution,
I don't need to give you anything.

But I'll tell you what.

I'll take a screenshot
and send it over.

Did you give him the stake?

He already owed me 250.
Even I have my limits.

So you threatened him?

I said we'd reached
the end of our friendship.

How he chose to interpret that
is up to him.

Thanks for your help.
Any time. But you know that.

She just drove a bus through
Arthur Wakefield's alibi.Jim.

If Julien was on the phone
to Rachini,

then he wasn't in the opera box
with his dad.

Why is she asking us about footage
from two weeks ago?

OK. I was, I was here.
I had a drink with her.

I had one drink with her.
I wasn't in a good place.

Well, no wonder you didn't want us
to speak to her, then.

No, I didn't think she was
a credible suspect.

Barney, I still don't.
Come on. Cate's murder was,

it was chaotic, it was impassioned,
it was personal.

Jim! Fucking focus!

Rachini Wilson is a violent criminal

who threatened the husband
of the deceased.

That is what we call
a solid and compelling lead.

And you would know that

if you weren't so lost down
this Arthur Wakefield rabbit hole!

You used to be better at this.

I heard someone opening a door,

and I thought it was Blakely.

Then he started
to take my blindfold off

and I was terrified.

I'd seen a film where the kidnapper
has to kill the hostage

because she sees him. And so,

I had my eyes...
well, like, clamped shut.

And then he said my name.
And I realised that it was...

It was Jim, not Blakely.

So you were blindfolded
the whole time?

Yeah, erm... when he grabbed me,
put a bag over my head.

But you never saw his face.
So, devil's advocate,

how did you know it was
John Blakely?

I recognised his voice.

Yeah, talk me through that.
How did that happen?

Like, did you just hear his voice
and like, know it was him?

Or did somebody play it for you,

maybe Jim Bergerac,
and ask you "is this him?"

Does it matter?
Maybe not.

But it's about your confidence
in the conviction.

They found my hair in his car.

He disputes that.

You've spoken to Blakely?

I thought you said you were writing
a feature on Jim Bergerac.I am.

Does he know?

So, it's that kind of article,
is it?

John Blakely's life was ruined.

What about my life?

That beast locked me in a cellar
for three days.

Ever since, I've slept with
a baseball bat under my bed.

I have panic attacks.

I'm just saying,
what if he's telling the truth?

What if the wrong man
went to prison?

Run a check on vehicles connected
to Rachini Wilson

and any of her known associates.

I was just about to call you.

Bergerac wanted a speed cam check
on all the Wakefield cars

between their house and the theatre.

Arthur Wakefield's car.
It was on the last camera I checked.

Three miles from the opera house,
8:46 pm.

20 minutes before Cate was killed.

Get a couple of uniforms to meet me
over at Arthur Wakefield's house.

Wait...
Now!

Jim...
Call Uma.

We've got him. This is it, Barney.
We've finally got him.Jim...

Margaret?

Call Lawrence on his mobile.

Get him off the bloody golf course

and tell him to meet me
down at the station now.

Kara. We're bringing Arthur in
now. Listen,

there's something I need you to do
when we get there.

I think we're in here.

Oh, shit. Sorry, that one's taken.

Wait a minute. That's Julien.
Why is Julien here?

Well, I'm afraid
I can't answer that.

Why wasn't I told about this?
And where's his fucking lawyer?

Steve, would you take Mr Challis
and Mr Wakefield down to Room 2?

I'll be right with you.

Brilliant, thank you.

Don't take him back
to his cell just yet.

He's about to get a visitor.

When they arrive,
bring them up here.

Thank you for coming
at such short notice.

I know how busy you must be.

Of course. In fact,

I believe I have you to thank
for my job.

You were clearly
the most qualified for the job.

I'm just sorry the Ministers of
State needed reminding of that.

I...I want to talk to you about my
son-in-law.

Earlier today he arrested someone
while he was with his daughter.

There was a struggle, and Kim was
hurt.

Oh, my God. Is she all right?

It was just a cut to her hand,
but...It could have been a lot
worse.

Why did you ask him to go back
to work?

That's not quite what happened.

He asked me.

Did he now?

Well, it's immaterial, I suppose,
because you agreed.

Jim has experience of complex,
violent crimes,

which I felt would be beneficial
to the investigation.

He's an exceptional police officer.

Who is clearly in distress.

Whose behaviour is becoming
problematic.

Who has suffered an unimaginable
loss.

And I am mindful of that.

What happened today was regrettable
and will be addressed.

But I would hope that part of
the reason you supported

my appointment was
because you trusted my judgment.

PHONE BUZZES
Ah.No, please.Sorry.

Barney?

Huh. He's done what?

He brought him in about an hour ago.
I thought you'd want to know.

Leave this with me.

As I said, Jim's conduct will be
monitored. Quite intensely.

In your initial statement,

you said that on the night of
Cate's murder,

you were sat with your son Julien in
the box at

the Opera House for the whole
performance.

But we have a witness who states
that Julien was on

the phone to them
for seven minutes before 9pm.

So did Julian have this
conversation while sat next to you?

PHONE BUZZES
Not that I'm aware of.

Perhaps your witness is unreliable.

Yeah. By the way, we found your
money.

Oh, good. Well, that's something.
Yeah. Sadly, though, it turns out

that your son was behind the ransom
demand.

What?

He owed gambling debts.

And he chose to take advantage
of your granddaughter's abduction

to pay them off...with your money

that you got from selling your
favourite car.

Sorry, but we're getting
side-tracked. Um...

Were you and Julien sat together
throughout

Tuesday evening's performance?

No comment.

Understood.

Interview suspended.

You were right. Look who just got a
lawyer.

Suddenly appeared five minutes ago,
panting and sweating.

I think she literally ran all
the way from their office.

Wait for it.

THEY SPEAK INDISTINCTLY

You need to see this.

Bingo. Come on.

What's the game plan here?

Is there a game plan?

Because this all kind
of shits over proper protocol.

I want them to think that
they're winning.

Arthur, especially. I want them
colluding.

I want them getting their
story straight.

Because I'm about to blow it out of
the fucking water.

I'd like to clarify my statement.
I failed to remember that

I left my seat momentarily to make a
phone call,

which lasted approximately
seven minutes.

My father remained in our box,
engrossed in the performance.

Opera is my father's passion,

so he probably didn't realise
I'd gone.

And I have no further comment
to make.

Understood. Your colleague can type
really fast.

This car...

..belongs to your family, right?

Yes, that's...

No comment.For the purpose of the
recording,

this is a photo of a car registered
to Mr Arthur Wakefield.

This was taken on
the night that Cate was killed.

8.46pm.

The car is driving away from
the opera house.

Were you driving it, Julien?No!

I mean, no comment.

So, who was?

Do you know the name
Jonathan Robson?

No? Did you know that your wife
was working

with his daughter, Ellie?

Together they were planning
to release details

of potentially illegal activity
carried out by your father...

..in the purchase of Jonathan's
company.

The upshot is, your father had a
motive.

So, do you think he could have been
driving that car?

No comment.

Because if it wasn't him,
then it must have been you.

No. I said, I was only away for
seven minutes.

So maybe it was Margaret?

I mean, no comment.

Margaret was snug in her seat
all night. Whereas you,

you faked a ransom demand
for your own daughter.

That's not going to play well for
a jury.

To be fair, he might just get
a suspended sentence for extortion.

Yeah, but for the murder?

Oh, yeah, no. The murder is a whole
other thing.

Yeah, but it wasn't me in
the car. So it must have been him.

Hang on. So Arthur wasn't in
the box throughout the performance?

Agh. I... I don't know.What do you
mean, you don't know?

I-I-I didn't go back after I made
the phone call.

I couldn't breathe after I spoke
to Rachini,

so I just...I just...I stayed in the
toilet

and I just tried to calm down.
So if you weren't in the box,

you have no idea if your father
was either.

No comment.

It turns out that Julien was absent
for longer than seven minutes.

Would you like to amend your
statement accordingly?

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Oh, God, yeah.
This is my Frost-Nixon.

Opera is an art form that demands
constant attention.

I must have been too engrossed
to notice him leave.

So if you were at the theatre,

then who was driving your car
in the lead-up to Cate's murder?

I'm just going to ask you straight
out. Did you kill Cate?

I mean, you'd spent 40 years
building up your business,

and this entitled airhead who you'd
welcomed into your home,

who couldn't even deliver you
a biological grandchild,

was going to take it all.
And for what? For...

For the honour of Jonathan Robson?

That infantile beta-male, who didn't
have

the first clue about what he
invented.

I mean, do you honestly think that
the Cirocel battery would have gone

to market if you hadn't taken it?
Come on.

But Cate couldn't understand that.

She felt guilty about
the lifestyle that you'd given her.

She wanted to prove a point,

a point that was going to tear down
your reputation,

so you stopped her.

I'd like to amend my statement.

So, three years ago, I discovered
that my son suffered from

a serious gambling addiction.

Since then, I've...covered his
debts,

turned a blind eye when valuables
started going missing from my house.

I paid for counselling and rehab.
So don't tell me

he said it was a one-off.

He fell in with the wrong crowd.

About 18 months ago,

Julien took out
a life insurance policy on Cate

for a quarter of a million pounds.
He's an addict.

And addicts like Julien they, um,

they have a trajectory.

And, you know,

I think we're at the end of it.

Tell me, Chief Inspector...

..what was your
reputation built on, hm?

I mean, is it warranted?
Someone so myopic,

so easily distracted
by their prejudice.

Are we to actually believe that

we're safe with you watching over
us?

KNOCKING, DOOR OPENS
Hm?

For the purposes of the recording,

DC Molloy has just entered the room.

INAUDIBLE WHISPERING
No, I can't. Not now.

There is a pattern of
behaviour here.Come on. This...

What did Barney tell you?
No, this is hardly a pattern.

I spoke to your mother-in-law.

She told me what happened when you
arrested Julien.

Pfft. OK. Um... She...

OK. Look, some context.

She thinks you're buckling under
the pressure of the job.

I told her I didn't need any help
making operational decisions.
HE SCOFFS

I'm glad you enjoyed that.

It was before I discovered you'd
ignored a direct order

and arrested Arthur Wakefield.
And for no reason.

Because your case against him just
fell apart, correct?

No, nothing Arthur said made him
less of a suspect.

Just... Just...Julien more of a
suspect.Listen to me.

No. He threw his son, his son,

under a bus to save himself.
We have to ask why.

Arthur Wakefield is a vicious old
bastard

who earned his wealth dishonestly.
Unfortunately,

there's not enough prisons in the
world

to bang up everyone
guilty of that. So let him go.

No. Uma, I am this close to breaking
him, I swear...

I said let him go.
And you are on your last life.

Tell me you understand that.

Because saying stuff in English,
to your face,

doesn't seem to do the trick.

I understand.

Chief Inspector Bergerac?
Chloe Havron, Island News.

I'm writing a story on John Blakely.

He claims you planted the evidence
that led to his conviction.

I wondered if you had a comment.

Why did you order the second search
on John's car?

Are you a corrupt cop who pursues
vendettas by framing innocent men?

No comment.
