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.

Too far

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.
