Original subtitles

The victim is Tony Sallinger, 64. It was his wedding.

We all know Ian Monkford from the Drugs Squad.

Thanks for the intel on the contaminated batch.

What was Tony's blood type when he gave a sample at the hospital?

A positive. When he died, he was O positive. Now we have a case.

Who's for a more fitting send-off?

Arrest her. She was secretly recording mother with her phone.

It would be best if you went back to Manchester.

I've found Richard on Saturday night. He lied.

Why would he do that if he didn't have anything to hide?

If the blood changed, somebody else must have done it.

I've brought you this.

Your disregard for protocol isn't charming, Jim. It's dangerous.

It will end up getting someone killed one day.

It might not be you, but someone always gets hurt.

Have you rung that vet yet?

Was I supposed to?

You really liked her profile.

Well, yeah, I did, until she said YOLO.

Granny wants us there from six to meet and greet - her words.

Have you RSVP'd? You have to RSVP? Yes. It said so on the invite.

There was an invite? Oh, my gosh! I'll do it.

All right? You seem a bit wired.

I'm excited.

I love a party.

I woke up this morning and I wanted a drink.

I thought I had it cracked.

I stopped coming to meetings.

I didn't think I was in danger any more.

But now my daughter is moving away.

She's got a place in this...

...this amazing school on the mainland...

...and I'm scared.

She gives sobriety a point.

If I drink, there's a consequence.

She knows it, too. Erm...

She got me on a dating app.

She wants me to find someone to...

...to make an effort for, she says.

She means someone to stop me setting fire to my life, because...

...I could.

I have.

Yeah, we... we all have.

Hi.

SHE SIGHS

Erm, anybody else?

Tasha, go ahead.

CHATTER

How did you know I'd be here?

I was literally about to ask you the same thing.

This is my third 8am meeting.

You've never been here before. You said you were leaving.

I changed my mind. I thought I'd have a mini-break.

I grew up here.

I told you, your father's death has been investigated twice.

I know.

I was there when you told me.

Don't do this.

Mm... Nicola, it's a live investigation. Don't get in our way.

Oh, my God, the zoo. MOBILE PHONE BUZZES

I forgot about the zoo. That's today sorted.

Kara?

You're kidding me?

Morning. Morning. Thank you.

Morning, everyone. Morning. Morning.

Called in at 8am this morning.

Putting time of death between 7pm and 10pm last night.

What do you think Ian?

This is more your wheelhouse. Accidental overdose?

Well, there's, erm... There's no sign of violence,

there's no injuries, so, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck...

Could it be the contaminated batch?

I mean, I suppose so.

That stopped circulating weeks ago,

and it's not like they hold on to this stuff for a rainy day.

Where's the rest of it? Sorry, how do you mean?

Well, there's a syringe but there's no paper, no wrapper.

What were the drugs in? Oh, right, well, erm...

...what sometimes happens is another user will come in

and they'll see leftovers and they'll, like...

Well, they'll just grab everything they can.

I mean, it might even have been whoever phoned it in.

Hmm.

If toxicology come back and it's the contaminated batch,

talk to your guys, get them to prioritise this.

I do not want this stuff on the streets any longer. Right.

Actually, would you mind waiting in the car?

I just want to brief the team. Erm, no. Of course.

We know that Karl gave a statement at the inquest

into Sally Mercer's death that basically exonerated Tony,

but it's possible that he changed it from a previous statement

that said Tony was in fact drunk at the time of the accident,

then our first question to Karl would have been, "Why?"

If someone heard Tony's speech... VOICES FADE

But we keep coming back to this crash.

It connects Tony to Andy the waiter, it connects Tony to Karl,

so familiarise yourselves with the details,

cross reference with everyone at the wedding.

Maybe there's another link we've missed. Yeah.

Listen, liaise with Ian,

but, moving forward, let's keep some clean lines.

He is just here to help us with phone footage and identify guests.

Everything else is need-to-know.

Is this on us? Should we have arrested Richard last night?

It wasn't Richard.

We don't know that. If he was bribed and he saw Tony's speech,

this could be him going around clearing up anyone else who knew.

It wasn't Richard. I went to see him again.

He was screwing some nurse while Tony's bloods were being taken

and he was still screwing her on the night of Tony's murder.

We were supposed to be going through Professional Standards.

I just thought it would've been quicker if I spoke to him direct.

And, look, have you got any photos on your phone from ten years ago?

Group shots, parties, that sort of thing. You and other officers.

Can you email them to me? Hang on.

When exactly were you planning on telling me about Richard?

That was me telling you. Right, so who are we looking at now?

I will get back to you on that one.

In the meantime, send me those pictures.

Along here, I'm thinking tinted mirrors.

I went to this restaurant in Covent Garden

where they had these boughs of blossom - artificial, sure -

around tinted mirrors. It made it absolutely magical.

Who are your target customers?

You know, income level, age, that sort of thing.

Elite, established middle-class, and technical middle-class.

What's the churn rate of other restaurants nearby?

Less than the national average.

The French restaurant across the road has been trading for 12 years.

The Japanese, which we should try, by the way,

has been trading for ten.

So, who needs another restaurant?

I made dummy bookings at both.

There's a three-week waiting list for the French

and a month for the Japanese.

No further questions. Though I may probe you more later.

Mrs Hungerford! SHE GIGGLES

KNOCK ON DOOR

Oh, good. That's Daniel, my business partner. Oh.

Hiya, Daniel. Hi. I need to talk to you. Oh, right.

Is everything all right?

Where's he gone? I wanted to meet him. He, erm...

No, he...

There's been a bit of a hitch. Too tedious to talk about.

Nigel, what sort of hitch? Erm...

An investor.

Told you, boring.

Now, I hope you know as much about kitchens

so you can grill me some more.

NIGEL LAUGHS Grill me!

Then there's nothing? Literally no-one enters or exits the road?

BARNEY SIGHS

OK, take it back further, to 6pm last night. Mm-hm.

Taking it back.

Right, stop. Go back.

Going back now.

OK...

OK, there's Karl Furman.

He comes in at what? 7:14pm.

Then no-one enters or exits the road until after his time of death.

Which means that whoever killed him must've already been at the house.

Or...

...they came from the other end.

What's at the other end? Mount Pleasant.

You don't have any cameras there. We only found Karl Furman

cos he was on Royal Square, then we lost him.

Picked him up here. Hang on a second. Found him? When was this?

7:14pm yesterday, like you said.

Called it in straight away.

I thought that's why you're here. Who did you speak to?

I don't know. Some bloke.

Said someone was going to look into it.

Bye, then.

Hi, Nicola. How are you doing?

Oh, hey. Any news?

About what?

You need to get your guy from Forsyte and find out

if they're doing this across the board or if it's just us.

Sorry, Nicola. Go on. You were...

You said you might, with Monica, just, I don't know,

just see how she's behaving. Yes, I'm going to see her tomorrow

and I'm just going to ask her straight out

when Tony told her I own the company. Are you sure?

Be careful. Oh, it'll be fine. I'll wear a stab jacket.

Sorry, Nicola, I have to go now.

OK. Well, let me know how you get on either...

CELL END TONE

NICOLA SCOFFS

I remember it because my mate Annie

was shagging the officer who brought him in.

Didn't we all know about it.

She said his name, but I'm shit with names,

so it didn't mean anything to me and I thought she'd made him up.

Then, one day, there he is.

Anyway, her and her fella piss off.

There's a storeroom downstairs and, all I'm saying is, it locks

from the inside, so I'm left to sort it with the other copper.

And the...

...the other officer, did you know him?

It's Jersey, love. We know most of you.

We're all at the sharp end, aren't we?

Well, if I showed you a picture of him, would you recognise him?

Go on, but I've got handover in about two minutes. Erm...

No.

Nope.

No. I liked him. What happened to him?

Quit. He opened a garden centre.

No.

That's him.

You're sure that's the police officer

who took the bloods from Tony Sallinger?

I don't remember him arriving with the first officer, but...

...he must have.

Are we done? Erm, yeah.

Thank you.

I've got the... A guy from CCTV said he called last night about

a possible sighting of Karl Furman near the location where he died.

Yeah. He said he spoke to a man in this office.

There's nothing logged on the CMS. It wasn't me.

Do you want me to ask around? No, no.

I don't know. Not yet.

Right, what's this? This is...

It's Karl Furman's toxicology. Why are you whispering?

Because Jim said that we need to be careful

about what we're sharing with Ian, so...

Ian!

Listen, Bergerac likes to overstate things.

This is drugs, drugs is Ian's thing, we involve Ian. Yeah.

Karl Furman's toxicology.

Go on. So, there's traces of heroin and fentanyl in his blood.

Hang on. So it was the bad batch?

Well, it happens. We don't know how much was in the initial shipment.

No, no, no. It's like I said, this stuff gets used up quickly,

it's in short supply. Why would it turn up again now?

Well, it doesn't always follow a pattern.

It's addicts, dude. It's chaos.

But, you know, Jim is right. We need to make it our top priority now.

I'll talk to my boys. Right.

Well done. Thanks.

I'm popping out, Kara.

What the fuck do I care?

Leah. What do you think about food?

Steak and kidney pie.

OK, one more, then I'll get someone to show you the cells.

Knock, knock.

Akeel, my man. I need a favour.

I'm trying to find out if one of my team was down here last night.

Long story.

About 7:30pm.

Yeah, got it.

So, just Ian Monkford at 7:27pm?

Yeah.

That's cool. Thanks. No problem.

Where's Ian gone? Just said he was popping out.

What about Jim?

You do know it's not my job to keep track... If Ian comes back in here,

keep him here and call me.

Same goes for Jim.

Ah, a Taser, it can take a man down in seconds.

You know, it's been so lovely to see you all.

I have someone waiting outside.

I hope you've learnt some interesting things.

MOBILE PHONE BUZZES

Fuck's sake.

Call me. It's urgent.

DI Crozier. Sir.

Erm, I just wanted to say again, hard cheese on the promotion.

Don't worry about it. You haven't seen Ian Monkford, have you?

We all thought you were mightily impressive.

In fact, we were poised to offer you the job. Were you?

I'm so cross with myself now. I shouldn't have listened to him.

He gets these... They're like vendettas.

I mean, I'm the living proof of that. Got the T-shirt.

Listened to who? Jim Bergerac.

I asked him for his view on you and, huh, well...

Wait, Jim is where the initiative thing came from?

The lesson is, or the lesson for us, anyway,

is to trust your gut. I mean, you were the stand-out applicant.

So, promise me you'll reapply next year?

Yes, Sir.

Good man.

Maybe it was money. I mean, maybe it was just because him

and Tony were friends, but Ian swapped the bloods,

and that's how Tony dodged any responsibility

for Sally Mercer's death. So how does Richard come in to this?

As the attending officer, he should have supervised the taking

of the blood, but instead he slips away to screw a nurse in a cupboard.

Right. So he's not corrupt, he's just an unprofessional arsehole.

I thought you liked Richard. I can't stand Richard,

which is why I was so pissed off when you and Barney

handed him the moral high ground on a velvet cushion.

Anyway, look, years later,

Tony's getting married, he falls in to a swimming pool,

and Sally Mercer's brother saves his life.

Boom. Like, Road to Damascus conversion.

So he gets up to do his speech and he basically says,

"Guys, I'm going to come clean." No more secrets.

Exactly. Ian panics, because that means him going to prison,

so Ian kills Tony.

Bring him in.

BANGING ON DOOR

Why aren't you at the station, Ian?

Oh, erm, yeah, I've got a bit of a gyppy tummy.

I did tell Kara. Did she not say?

A call came in last night from CCTV.

They'd located Karl Furman. Was it you they spoke to?

Erm, last night? Well, what time was that?

7:15pm. About ten minutes before you went to the evidence room.

What was that about?

Erm, that was...

What was that? That was, erm...

Oh! Tony had this watch.

Not a Rolex, but, still, something fancy. Right.

I couldn't remember seeing it on the body, or even in the room,

so I thought, "Shit, is it that simple?"

You know, he was being robbed.

But, no, it was in evidence, so shit theory.

This is way out of your remit.

You're supposed to be compiling mobile footage.

Yeah, but it was niggling me and Jim wasn't there,

and I thought I'd just check.

You could have run it past me. Jim's in charge, Barnabus.

Do you really think today is the day to fuck with me, Ian?

Because do you know what's really weird?

Last night Karl Furman overdosed on the contaminated batch of heroin,

all of which, as far as we know, was in that evidence room.

Yeah, right.

As far as we know.

You know, I really wanted to be wrong,

I really wanted you to just explain this whole thing away... Explain?

Explain what? I just did.

I just told you.

Ian Monkford, I'm arresting you on suspicion of...

Argh!

Argh!

Barney, mate...! Let it go, Ian.

Let it...!

BARNEY GROANS

POLICE SIREN

TYRES SCREACH

Grab him.

All right, all right.

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

CHATTER/LAUGHTER

I told him to be here at six.

He's probably just held up in the rush hour traffic.

He'll be here any minute, you watch.

Oh, they're here. Such fun. Hi! You look amazing.

Oh, look at you, with your faith in Jim.

All new, clean, and shiny.

It's adorable.

So why didn't you tell me what you were thinking?

With Richard?

Or, erm, with Ian?

I mean, that's kind of my point.

Erm...

I just... I thought it would be quicker if I did it myself.

Look, I have a way of working, OK? Mm.

And, I don't know, I just...

Sometimes the time it takes to explain something...

To? To anyone. Like your team?

My God.

This lone wolf bullshit.

Tell me about this initiative thing.

What initiative thing? Whatever you said to Richard Gibbon.

I said... I said I thought you were great. Mm.

And that, you know, the job is about initiative and that you...

...you have initiative.

You know, the doctors told me that if Ian had stabbed me three inches

to the left, he'd have hit my aorta and I'd be dead,

so maybe just don't bullshit me today, Jim.

I said you have initiative when...

...when you show it.

Got you.

He caught me off-guard, OK?

It came out wrong. See, I don't think it did, Jim,

because, ultimately, you don't think I'm any good.

You don't think anyone's any good. It can only be you.

I really don't think that, Barney. You wouldn't give up that space.

You went to see Ian on your own. You want to talk about that?

Really? Yeah, OK, I did, because I only had half the facts.

If you'd shared your suspicions with me,

I would have taken backup, but you didn't, so I didn't.

Maybe I was trying to show some initiative.

You know, Jim, you're this great detective,

but you're greedy and you're vain, and you're impulsive,

and that makes you dangerous to be around.

Now, fuck off. I've got to rest.

It's been a day.

LOUD MUSIC/LAUGHTER

You're not worried about the competition, are you?

What competition? Well, some of those overseas students

will have been playing the violin since they were in the womb.

I saw a thing, and in some countries they, like, breed them.

Literally. No, erm, we're all on the same level, I think.

Oh, OK.

Ah!

You know the worst thing? No-one's surprised any more.

No-one expects you to be on time.

You've become that father.

The one that couples talk about when they're getting ready for bed.

Let me get in the door, Charlie.

Charlie, the caterers are saying they're running low on champagne

but they do have a very pleasant prosecco.

Which would be lovely if this was a hen party.

Who said that? Point them out.

Hi. Sorry.

Hi.

You must be a bit excited.

I mean, I love her, but I can't wait for Esmay to leave home.

All that time to myself. Time to think.

Well, I'm excited for Kim.

No-one needing you, no responsibilities.

I mean, I know, I know, work, blah-blah, but the freedom...

Ooh!

Cheers.

I... I'm good. Thank you.

I felt like that after my divorce. This sense of liberation...

I'm just going to... Excuse me just for one second.

LOUD MUSIC/LAUGHTER

MUSIC BECOMES MUFFLED

Right, everyone, sorry. Time for a toast.

Just time for a toast, I think.

What's he doing? Can we gather, please?

I just want to say, erm... Just a few... words.

Erm...

Erm... God, you might be wondering why I've gathered you all here.

Erm...

I've always wanted to say that. SUBDUED LAUGHTER

Kim...

Kim, erm, aren't you just amazing?

Isn't she, everyone? Hear, hear.

Isn't she amazing? Yes. Yes!

And, look, you're going to have just a wonderful time in that London,

and, erm...

I'm just so... I'm so proud of you and so just in awe of you

and... and so excited for you to just soar off in to the world

and make, erm, and make music

and, erm...

I am so bad at giving speeches.

This was an absolutely terrible idea.

Erm...

...to Kim.

To Kim!

Kim, you are my world entire,

you are my inspiration,

and, erm, God, everything you touch you make better.

My life.

Oh, your grandmother's life.

And, well, even Nigel's life.

This is Nigel, everyone - Charlie's new beau.

Say, "Hi, Nigel." Hi, Nigel.

Erm, they're having sex.

GASPS God!

Dad! Erm, yep, they are, and good on them, I think,

because, you know, not everyone gets to be old. Oh, my God.

Kim's mum, for example.

She would have loved tonight.

She...

She was something else.

And funny.

Erm, so funny, so...

RUEFUL LAUGH

...pure and... and good.

Why did she have to die, and... and not...

...you, for example?

No offence, but genuine question.

That's enough now, Jim.

I can make a speech at my daughter's wedding!

Wedding... I can make a speech at my daughter's leaving-do,

Charlie, yeah? Or do you need to control that as well?

And, just FYI, six o'clock is too early to start a party.

And, also, I don't know who half of these people are,

and while we're on the subject, why aren't you in pieces...? Dad!

How can you host a...

You know... You know...

You're cold, Charlie. Sorry.

Darling, this is a happy night, OK? Stop. This is a happy night.

Erm, what's the matter? What's wrong with everyone, eh?

Have we done a toast? Have we done the toast? Yeah.

No, let's do another toast to... Rachel.

Where's the music? Come on, Jim, let's step out for a bit

of fresh air. Get off me. I'm just doing a speech, Nigel.

I think you've covered everything. Ooh... Dad!

Sorry... Shit.

No, it was an accident.

Kim...

Kim, it was an accident.

HE SIGHS

One drink!

I'll ask you one last time, sir, please step away.

Oh, fuck that!

What?

Hey, no, no, no. Why... How come they're getting in?

Cos they're not drunk. I'm not drunk!

You're insane.

Look, I just want one drink. Look... All right!

Hey... Hey! This is how you want to play this, yeah?

Do you know who I am?

POLICE SIREN

Jim! Brown suede jacket...

Jim!

Urgh!

Is that wine?!

I'm going to be sick.

Oh, mate.

Come on.

Come on.

DOOR CLOSES

NICOLA CHUCKLES

Relax. I didn't take advantage.

The state you were in, it would have been kind of pointless anyway.

How did you find me?

I was just out doing my thing

and came across you arguing with a bouncer.

You were about to get arrested.

And no-one wants to see that headline, right?

I drank.

What was the occasion?

My daughter's leaving party.

NICOLA SIGHS

So, what do we do in these situations?

If we get a move on, we can make the 8am.

Erm, no, I'm late for work. I erm...

We're in the middle of a murder inquiry. One of my team was stabbed.

Jim... I will go to one later, I promise.

Yeah, you won't.

Let's have a meeting here. No, I can't do that.

We have chairs, we have tea and biscuits

and we have alcoholics.

Nicola, I don't have the strength to argue with you, OK?

Just how I like my men.

Sit.

Hi.

I'm Nicola and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Nicola.

It's been four years and 11 months since my last drink.

I was... I was seeing this guy.

God, I loved him.

But I loved drink more...

...so we broke up.

And I was just outraged...

...and I had this amazing idea that...

...I should tell him.

So...

...after maybe...

...eight Bloody Marys,

I went to where he worked and...

...I ended up vomiting on the floor of their foyer.

SHE SIGHS

The look he gave me...

Jim, you know that look.

I think you saw that look last night.

Yeah.

Right...

...I saw that look and I never drank again.

Burn it into your brain.

Because it's your superpower now.

You're bulletproof now.

Mondays for food waste, Tuesdays for recycling, Fridays for garden waste.

Now, what bit of that is confusing to you, eh?!

My mother is in mourning. I know.

She wants to think about happier things, not your bins,

which are here three days too early!

What do you want?

I, erm... I've come to see your mum.

So have you come to kick me out?

Is there a removal van waiting around the corner?

What? No. God, no.

No, you can stay here as long as you like.

Don't worry, it won't be long. This was never my home.

It wasn't even Tony's home.

Will you move back in with Michael? Oh, God!

Haven't I suffered enough?

Yes, I expect so.

But, anyway, enough about me.

How are you?

I genuinely don't know.

I've been so focused on the business...

...but it's coming - the grief.

I'm sort of bartering with it, you know?

Just let me get this sale across the line.

Do you think I can avoid it?

It doesn't work like that. It's going to hit you.

It has to.

And when it does, you listen to me,

when it arrives,

you come and find me, OK?

Look, there's something I...

When did Tony tell you that I own the company outright?

About a week before the wedding.

And you were OK with it?

Well, yes, Ruth. I didn't marry him for money.

No, of course not, but I know he was worried about telling you,

so I thought maybe that's what "no more secrets" was about.

But it couldn't have been. I already knew.

SHOUTING Oh, God. What's he done now?

Oh, well done, big boy, eh?!

It's not going to be me, you stupid idiot! Michael!

Why don't you get down on your hands and feet and clean it up?!

Michael! What?! What?! Just calm down. I am perfectly calm!

I'm so sorry about this. Don't apologise to him!

Ian Monkford is going to be transferred

to Bournemouth Central Police Station on the mainland

to be interviewed about the attack on DI Crozier

and the murder of Karl Furman.

Jim, nice of you to pop by.

But before he goes, we can talk to him about Tony Sallinger, right?

No. You can liaise with whoever's dealing with him over there,

and I'm sure they'll pass on anything relevant.

I repeat, no-one speaks to Ian.

I understand tempers are running high,

but what's required now is diligence and calm.

This is a colossal, sprawling, shitty mess,

so let's not make it any shittier.

OK, everyone, back to work.

KEYS RATTLE

Do you want the toilet?

Erm...

No.

I'm all right, Tommy.

Don't use my fucking name.

You want the toilet?

Yeah.

Please.

You're not going to beat me up, are you, Jim?

No, I'll leave attacking police officers to you, Ian.

DOOR CLOSES

Right, start from the beginning,

talk me through swapping Tony's bloods.

Erm, we'd been called out to a punch-up in a nightclub.

Erm...

Two concussions, broken jaw.

Get on with it, come on. Yeah.

It was a mess.

In the hospital, that's when I saw Tony.

He was in a right state

because it was just after the accident,

and he said, erm...

...that he'd pay me if I took the test for him.

He said he'd pay me 50 grand.

What about Karl Furman?

I removed his first statement from the report.

The one saying that Tony was drunk.

He still changed his statement when it came to the inquest.

Why?

Because Tony paid him to.

Did Tony tell you that?

No.

Karl did.

When you killed him.

OK.

Right, erm...

...so, you and Tony, you were at his wedding...

...and he gets up and he says "no more secrets",

and you can see the whole thing unravelling.

He's going to tell the world what happened, including how

you swapped the blood sample. You can't let that happen.

I never killed him, I swear!

Then who did?

Who did? Did you call someone?

Is that who the figure in the coat is?

I've no idea who that is. I brought you those pictures!

I'm putting my hand up to the bloods.

I'm putting my hand up to Karl and to Barney.

So why would I lie about Tony? I'd admit it.

I need to show willing here because I am royally fucked here.

I'm a dead man.

I am talking to you so... so that you can vouch for me, yeah?

You can say, "He's OK. He made some mistakes but he's all right."

Hmm.

But, Ian,

I'm upstairs right now.

What did you do with the 50 grand?

I... I...

I can't even remember.

DOOR OPENS

He says he didn't kill Tony but he's lying.

OK, I'm going back to the hotel.

I need to talk to the staff, ask if he was acting suspiciously.

Maybe they saw him with someone. I'll come with you.

We'll get there quicker that way. No, it's OK. Instead, can...

Of course. Good plan.

There's two waiters we haven't spoken to yet.

You want to start with them

or go back to the beginning and re-interview the lot?

Before we do that...

Oh. Give us the room. Oh, OK.

Sorry.

So, OK, this was pretty much how the room was, right?

Close the door, please.

Erm, no...

No, wait, the top table, where Tony and Monica were sat, was there.

Move these chairs.

OK, log on to the CMS, get the seating plan.

And all the guests' photos - we'll need them, too.

OK, so Tony was there, and when he said "no more secrets",

he was staring straight ahead, so...

Where was Ian?

Yep...

Oh. Over there.

Really? Yeah.

So who was Tony looking at?

What?

What is it?

Tony wasn't looking at Ian when he said "no more secrets".

He was looking at Monica.
