The victim is Tony Sallinger.
He was found dead in his hotel room
by his sister, Ruth.

From now on, no more secrets.

What do you think he meant by that?
I have no idea.

This thing with the daughter,
is that a conflict of interest?

No, it was a two-minute
conversation. I'll ask for the CCTV,
just so we can eliminate her.

You said you were leaving.
I changed my mind.

To Kim.
To Kim.

I drank. What was the occasion?

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

It's great, detective, but you're
greedy and you're impulsive,

and that makes you dangerous
to be around.

Do you fancy a trip to the coast?

Hmm.

So how's things with your daughter?

Erm, yeah, she's not speaking to me.

Nope, she won't be.

She's going to punish you
about 50 times

before she eventually
gives you the time of day.

And what do I do until then?

Keep showing up, regardless of how
much she tries to push you away.

And eventually, those 50 punishments
will run down to zero.

She's leaving soon.

You'd better get cracking, then.

His car was found over there.

With the keys still in it and the
suicide note on the dashboard.

I want to know a bit more
about Alan.

This incident with Monica
and the knife...

...when, was it?

A few days before he died.
But you didn't see it?

No, I told you, I was at uni.
He told me about it.

Thanks.

But in the years before I left,
Monica and dad would argue a lot.

Not blazing rows, just sort of
tense, small sort of snipings.

Do you remember what about?

Michael, mostly.

How Monica molly-coddled him,
how dad wanted him out
from underneath them.

And me.

How dad was easier on me.
Well, at least according to her.

How that was giving Michael
a complex.

Dad wanted out.

I know he did, but...

...not like this.

Why are you looking
into all this again?

Well, it's possible that when
Tony said "no more secrets",
he was talking to Monica.

And you think that my dad
is the secret? I think...

...I'm late for work.

Cliff top only opened to the public
two months before Alan Barton was
reported missing, presumed dead.

Thank you. Since then,
we've sadly had one further suicide

and an accidental death there.

Now, the tide is very predictable,
even in extreme weather.

And both of those times,
the body washed up in
the bay half a mile down the coast.

Alan's body didn't.

And no-one questioned it at the time
because I guess no-one knew
about the tide patterns.

Kara and I have been back
to the hotel to check
on Tony's sight lines.

When Tony said "No more secrets",

he was looking in a mirror
at Monica.

So, what was his secret?

We've got two theories.

Either Monica killed Alan, Tony knew
and was threatening to expose her.

But what was Monica's motive
for killing Alan?

I mean, he had a couple of grand
of savings, but that was about it.

The cottage maybe?
That's what we need to find out.

The bit I don't get is why she'd
then tell Tony. I mean, you'd
keep that to yourself, right?

Again, that's what we
need to find out.

The other theory is that Tony
was summoning up the courage

to tell Monica that he lied
about his job and his money.

Now, Monica says that Tony told her
the week before the wedding.

What if he didn't?
What if he told her that night?

What, and then she killed him?
That's quite a reaction, isn't it?

Yeah, well even if she didn't
kill her first husband, Alan,

the daughter said that Monica
once threatened him with a knife.

So we're dealing with someone
potentially prone to aggression
and violent outbursts.

Kara, Sally, Dan, go back through
the reports into Alan's suicide,

we need to see if there's
anything that they missed.

Simon, Liam, Katie,
talk to Monica's friends.

Did she mention Tony's
financial situation to anyone

and, crucially,
when did he tell her?

And we still haven't figured out
who this figure in the coat is.

Hey, look who it is. Barney.
How you doing, boss?

All right, all right.
All right, all right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
good to see you, all right.

They've discharged you from the
hospital. I mean, not technically.

I thought you'd all be
missing me by now!

Are you OK? Oh, yeah, doctor
said it's a scratch.

Sorry, Jim, you carry on.

That's OK, we were just finishing.

Thank you, everyone.

Mate.

Hey, boss. Thanks, mate.
Cheers, mate.

Yes, mate. Good to have you back.

How you feeling?
Like I just got stabbed.

So no, you shouldn't be here.
What am I supposed to do?
I can't go to the gym.

Let me bring you up to speed.
Yeah, all right.

Erm, lots to fill you in on.

Hmm.

Ian has confessed to killing Karl
and to swapping the bloods

and obviously to the attack on you.

He's adamant he didn't kill Tony.

You believe him? I do.

Wish I didn't.

So, yeah,
the current focus is Monica.

And there's a possibility that her
first husband's suicide
was actually staged.

Yeah, and Tony knew
and threatened to expose her.

That's what Nicola said, right?
Yeah.

The other theory is that Tony told
her about his financial situation.
And she lost her shit, yeah.

Erm, about what you said
at the hospital... Jim.

What happened was really shit.

I'd like to put it behind me, OK?
We're good.

What happened there?

I've no idea. Barney.

I didn't expect to see you
back so soon.

Discharged this morning.

That's surprising,
after such a close shave.

Thank God Jim arrived when he did.

Take it steady, Barney.

Understood, ma'am. About time some
of the others did some work, eh?

Boss, have you got a minute?
Well...

...yeah. So the footage from
the night of Tony's murder came in.

What footage?
Costello's, the restaurant.

The footage of you
and Nicola Barton.

When you disclosed you had contact
with Nicola the night of,

you said it was
a two minute conversation.

It wasn't. It was longer. Really?

Way longer.

It was 43 minutes. 43 minutes?

Wow, OK, yeah.

You do understand I need
to put this on the CMS,
don't you? Yeah, of course.

Which means that everyone in here
can access that footage. Yeah,
I know how the CMS works, Kara.

And see that your two minute
conversation

with a person connected to the case
was actually much longer.

And much more cosy
than you initially let on.
Cosy is, erm... It's subjective.

Maybe. But the time stamp isn't.

Look, maybe you lost track of time,

or maybe you thought
it was inconsequential.

But, please, get your
fucking story straight...

...sir.

I thought you'd gone back
to Manchester.

I decided to stick around,
visit some old haunts.

Like the cliff?

A friend saw you there this morning.

Sorry, that sounds...

I mean, you can... You can do what
you like. I just mean that I...

I wish I'd known
you were still here.

We could've spent
a bit of time together.

And done what?

I thought we'd made some
progress, Nic.

I explained how your father was.

I know that it must've been
difficult for you to...

But, you know, I thought
it might have answered
some questions for you.

No. It did.

It's just being back in Jersey.

It's harder than I thought
it would be.

Being back around me, you mean.

I mean, have you heard
about love languages?

People have different ways
of demonstrating their love

and I think that I had a way
of showing you that I loved you,

because I did.

I... I do.

And I think it's something
that I learned from my mum.

She was, erm...

She was practical.

She was endlessly practical.

So the house was clean
and we were clean

and there was food and... You know?

I think that that's
what I associate with love.

And it's just as deep
as something more demonstrative.

But maybe it's not how you
needed to be loved.

Yeah.

That would make a lot of sense,

if I hadn't seen you do it
with Michael.

You weren't practical with him.

You engaged with him.

You gave him energy.

And time.

And love.

And I got...

...what was left.

Well, Michael just demanded more,
he needed more.

You didn't have to give it
to him. You could have said no.

You can't say no to
a child like that.

So I'm left with this impossible
choice of what to believe, yeah?

That, oh, you couldn't
love me because of some...

...flaw in you?

Some bit in you that's missing?

Or that ultimately
because I'm just too hard to love.

What?

No. That's not... Christ, no.
Just stop!

Sh.

This is why I didn't
want to see you.

Because these conversations
are too hard.

I'm sorry...

...about Tony, but...

...I want you to leave now.

Have kids.

Then we'll talk.

Kim.

I know you're furious with me
and you have every right to be.

But you're leaving soon, you know,
and I would just love it

if you would consider forgiving me

just a bit quicker
than you would normally.

I have forgiven you.

Yeah, I know.
It just doesn't feel like that.

I'm just tired.

Erm, thanks for the lift.

49 to go.

Jim.

Nigel. Erm...

I'm sorry doesn't even come close.

It's OK, Jim, really.
It was... It was an accident.

No, it's not OK. It's...

It was out of line
and, look, I'm sorry.

Apology unnecessary, but accepted.

Erm, is Charlie in?

Erm...

Christ.

Well, if you're sure.

Hi, Charlie.

Look, I just wanted to say...

...how sorry I am, about the party.

Is that it?

Well, yeah.

I don't know what else
there is to say.

When Rachel died,
you were devasted, as was I.

As was everyone.

In many ways, we will never fully
recover, I appreciate that.

But the rest of us,
even her daughter,

are managing to function now.

And so for you to still be spreading
such Olympic-standard chaos

would suggest an element of choice.

Of choice?

At the risk of sounding
condescending,

you do know that I'm an alcoholic?

Really?

Oh, you should have mentioned that.
Oh, wait, you do.

Endlessly.

You know, Rachel was exquisite.

She was perfect.

She was better than me
in every single way,

but she never made me feel
like I didn't deserve her.

But from the moment we met,

I have spent every single day trying
to prove myself worthy to you.

I have lowered the bar
as far as I can for you, Jim.

Any lower, it'll be in the cellar.

Not getting drunk
at Kim's leaving party

was all that was required of you.

I'm sorry even that proved too much.

Jim.

That actually went better
than I expected.

How do you deal with her?

Well, when you get to my age
and you've been through some...

...some stuff,

not to suggest you haven't
had your own share of stuff...

...but, I lost a child.

My first wife and I.

When he was only two.

God.

Nigel, I'm...

I'm sorry.

And obviously, that's something
Charlie and I have in common.

And...

...the one thing about
something so unfair, so...

...so savage, is...

...it gives you some perspective...

...and some patience.

I'll talk to her.

All shall be well.

And all manner of things
shall be well.

Thank you.

And sorry again.

Oh, you should see the other guy!

Erm, Simon, talk to me.

Monica was telling the truth.

I spoke to one of her bridesmaids
and according to her,

Tony had told Monica about
his financial situation
a week before the wedding.

OK. Did she say how
Monica responded?

Well, not thrilled, but not
filled with murderous rage either.

OK, and I take it
we're still nowhere with the
figure in the coat? Yeah.

Yeah, we aren't.

Erm, Kara?

I had a look at Alan's phone records
and I found some calls

that the original investigation
must have missed.

Who are Phillips & Hawthorne?

Solicitors on the mainland who
happen to specialise in divorce.

I spoke to them,
they dug out the notes.

They said Alan Barton spoke
to them about divorcing Monica
two weeks before he died.

Monica didn't mention it
in either investigation.

Which means she didn't know.
Or she concealed it. Yeah.
Read the third paragraph.

OK, wow, there we go.

I'm going to put this to Monica.

And, yeah, obviously
you can come too, Barney.

You should come too, yeah?
If you're up for it.

I think I can manage sitting
in the car and then sitting
in a chair in her living room.

Good.

Yeah, brilliant. Let's go.

Thanks.

Yeah, see you in the car.

If they get divorced,
you're going into foster care!
Oh, don't say that!

Listen, I thought you should know,
I was with Jim Bergerac today.

I've finally got him to look
into my dad's death again. Right.

So you're still looping all
this back to Monica then?

She threatened my dad with a knife.
I call that a red flag.

I'm confused.

I thought you thought
Monica did it too?

When I saw her, Michael was there.

And he got into an argument
with his neighbour.

He was out of control.

Just the rage. Monica
actually had to hold him back.

I just think maybe we're
looking in the wrong place.

You think Michael might
have killed Tony?

Maybe.

And maybe not just Tony.

My dad too?

Oh, come on. Well, we've talked
a lot about whether Monica
did it, but never how.

How did she overpower two husbands,

two fully grown men
who would have fought back?

We just have a couple more things
we'd just like to run by you.

How would you describe your
relationship with Alan

around the time of his death?

Well, what's this got
to do with Tony's death?

We're still trying to establish
what Tony meant

when he said "No more secrets".

You described Alan as
"in a dark place" before his death.

Well, he, erm...

He killed himself.

Unless I've read too much
into that.

You said that he was erratic
and unpredictable,

yet we found no evidence
to corroborate that.

If anything, Mrs Sallinger,

we found that he was making plans
for his future.

You've been talking to Nicola.

I don't know why she's
dredging all this up again.
I thought we'd settled this.

Were you aware that,
shortly before his death,
Alan contacted a divorce lawyer?

What?

Erm, no.

No, I didn't know that.

They had two conversations.

The solicitor described him as
buoyed by the discussions
and hopeful for his future.

He said the final straw was a fight
the two of you had where you
threatened him with a knife.

No. That never happened.

I know this is hard, Monica,

but we're still exactly where we
were on the night of Tony's death.

And look, "No more secrets"
meant something, OK?

And you don't upend
your wedding day for a joke.

Now, there are people who
loved Tony. You loved Tony.

And so we owe it to all of you
to explore every lead,
answer every question.

I'm really sorry,
but that's led us to Alan's death.

And look, if there is nothing,
if there is no relevance,
then I swear to you we will move on.

But we won't know until we ask.

OK.

What?

It's true, the knife.

It's true.

But when Alan spoke to Nicola
and this solicitor,

he left out some pretty
crucial context.

He did change,
his behaviour did change.

And I hid it too because
I didn't want people to think ill

of this beautiful,
kind man that I loved.

One night, he hit me.

And I grabbed a knife,

because he kept coming
towards me and, erm,

I told him to get out of the house.

And I didn't see him for a few days,
so that must've been when he, erm,

when he spoke to Nicola
and this lawyer.

Anyway, after a while, he came home.

And he was full of this indignation.

And, erm, he said that
I had attacked him,

and I said, "No, Alan, you hit me."

Cos I still had the bruise.

And, erm, he was devastated.

Because his father was abusive
towards his mother,

and him and his brother,
and, erm, there he was...

...completing the cycle.

Becoming the thing
that he swore he'd never be.

I see it in Michael too, sometimes.

And a few days later, he died.

I couldn't tell the kids. I mean,
Nicola would never believe me.

She will never let this go.

God. Michael.

You all right? I'm fine.

Michael! Michael, please...

Michael!

Come back!

Oh, my God, you've got
to go after him. Why?

He must have heard everything
that I said about Alan,
he didn't know any of that.

I'm sure he'll be fine. No, no, no.
Look, you don't understand,

He's fragile, he's been going
to the cliffs where Alan died.

When he's like this I have no idea
what he's capable of. Please.

Please.

We need all available units
dispatched to the Morbury cliffside

and a BOLO put out for Michael
Barton, driving a blue VW Polo.

Shit.

Hey!

Is he...
No sign! No sign of his car either!

We've got a visual
on Michael's car.

Where? Pulling in to the
Clifton Hotel. Jesus.

What? We need a unit at
the Clifton immediately.

Quiet approach, room 401,
we do not want him spooked.

Wait. What is in 401?

It's Nicola Barton's room. We don't
know what Michael's capable of.

He's not the one in danger.
Nicola is.

Come on!

We've got laws against doing that.

Hi, you've
reached Nicola Barton's phone.

Shit.

How did you know her room number?

What?

Doesn't matter.

Hello, welcome to the Clifton,
do you have a...

Room 401? Erm, fourth floor,
but you'll need a key card.

Hey, we need a room pass
for room 401.

OK, erm, I just need a credit card
to activate the room pass.

Thank you so much.

OK, just... 401, yeah.

Please, please, can you just hurry?

All righty, there we go,
there's your room card.

Oh, I'm sorry, the lift's
undergoing maintenance at
this present moment in time.

Of course it is.

Argh.

You all right? I'm fine. Just go.

Argh!

Wait! Wait!

Wait!

Michael, no. No.

Well, enough is enough!

Go, go!

Police! Police!

I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything. I swear.

Are you OK?

Nicola, what is it?

Nicola!

What is this?

Bermuda.

I can't believe it.

Well, it's true.

So you can stop now,
you can finally leave us alone.

I don't understand, what is this?
What's the confusing bit, huh?

It's from him.

Alan, my father.

He's not dead.

It arrived the day before
my 30th birthday.

Erm, a few months earlier, Dad
had been officially declared dead

and Mum had arranged a little
gathering for us to say goodbye.

And Nicola came.

Reeking of vodka, as per.

And that's when she first
suggested that our mother,

a woman who has to literally
ask me to open jars for her,

killed our father.

I mean, it's ludicrous.

Anyway,
that's when the card arrived.

At first I thought it was Nicola,
playing some sort of joke.

But then, the postmark...

...and the date.

And you didn't tell Monica?
Oh, Mum, by the way, Dad's alive.

He'd just rather you think he was
dead than ever talk to you again.

Huh, no. I didn't.

I didn't tell anyone.

The police had ruled it
a suicide for the second time,

Nicola had been extradited
back up to her northern town.

I didn't think that there was any
point in exhuming it all again.

But, then, Tony died.

And when Nicola reappeared

and started trotting out
her greatest hits,

I did think about telling her then,

But the next minute she was leaving,
so I didn't bother.

Except, she didn't...

...did she?

Hmm?

I saw you with her...

...at the cliffs.

And sure enough,
you descended on my mother,

parroting Nicola's slurred
fantasies like they were facts.

Right, I thought,
enough is enough.

He's taken quite a bit risk there,
your father.

How did he know that you
wouldn't tell your mother
and Nicola straight away?

Nicola likes to tell
everyone about this...

...special relationship
she had with Dad,

but I was the son.

I was his blood.
He could trust me.

But look, don't get me wrong...

...I mean...

...I feel sorry for her.

It must be quite a shock.

You know, to...

...to find out that someone would
literally fake their own death

rather than spend time with you.

I mean...

...that's bound to smart a little.

Forensics have checked the postmark,
it's authentic.

Definitely sent from Bermuda.
What about the handwriting?

They've only been able to do a
preliminary analysis, they still
need to do full bells and whistles,

but they compared the card
with confirmed examples
of Alan's handwriting,

and it's a match.

Right, so, Monica didn't kill
Tony because of the money,

she didn't kill him because he was
about to tell the world that she
killed Alan, which would suggest...

She didn't kill Tony.

OK, so we keep looking,
we keep digging.

Jim, I'd like a word with you.

Can someone tell Monica Sallinger
her first husband is alive and well

and living in Bermuda?

I'll call their Family Liaison.

Kara, did the footage come back
from the bar of Nicola Barton?

Erm, yeah, it's on the CMS.
Yeah, and? It was deemed irrelevant.

What's your next move?

I've absolutely no idea.

Well, whatever it is,
it won't involve Barney.

We need to send him home.
He's practically green.

Erm, yeah, that's my fault
for allowing him to accompany me
to interview Michael.

I'll make sure he stays
behind his desk from now on.

You seem uncharacteristically
eager to keep him here.

Normally I have to sit you two
as far apart as possible.

Well, he's an exceptional officer
and an integral part of the team.

Now I'm really suspicious.

Why did he go and see
Ian Monkford without backup?

We were working in parallel

and we both uncovered different
strands of evidence against him.

That's not what I asked.

He went without telling his
colleagues, specifically you,

suggesting a troubling,
and in this case, potentially fatal

breakdown in communication.

Something's going on.

And it's becoming a problem.

Sort it out, Jim.
Redraw some boundaries.

Erm, listen... Don't start, I'm fine.

You're not. You need to go home.

Has that come from Uma?

Me! It's come from me.
Take your time, get better.

Christ, at this rate...

I'm just in the middle
of something here,

Do you need me to leave this
second or can I finish?

You all right?
Absolutely sensational.

Good. Well, I know that despite your
best efforts

to conceal it, Kim leaving
is challenging for you,

so it'd be all right if
things weren't all right.

Yes, it is challenging for me.

But I think it's important
Kim isn't privy to that.

The last thing she
needs is to feel guilty

about what she's leaving behind.

That would be selfish.
And I'll leave that to her father.

What was Jim like
before Rachel died?

Very different. Capable.
Besotted with the two girls,

but steady, reliable.

Right, so this isn't him,
he's still hijacked by the grief.

He's... a man possessed.

When did you become
a functioning adult again?

How long did it take?

It's a work in progress.
I'm saying be patient with him.

I'm not making any promises.

That's my girl.

I'd like to give you the money
for the restaurant.

It would be a loan,
obviously, but, seems rather silly.

You need the money and I've got it
sitting in my bank account.

Erm, right.
That's very kind of you, but no.

No, what?

No, thank you. But why not?

Because it would be emasculating,
and utterly humiliating.

Oh, for God's sake,
so this is about pride, is it?

It's all I have, Charlie.
I don't have any property,

I, I don't have any investments, I,

I don't even have a family.

My pride is the one thing
I've been able to cling on to,

so, no. But again, thank you.

Where are you going?
I need to pee.

I don't need any help
with that either.

Goodnight, boss.
Goodnight.

Nicola?

Hey.

I'm in here.

Free upgrade, due to the door.

So, thank you.

That's Monica. She keeps calling.

Er, that will...

Yeah, someone will
have just told her.

I'm sorry, it's looking
like the card is genuine.

It can't be...

I'm sorry.

...because my dad is dead.

He wouldn't do this to me.

He wouldn't do this to me.

Hey, it's...

It's OK.

It's OK.

Oh, Christ, is that Monica again?

Oh, it's Kim.

Erm, I'll take this outside.

Hi! Hey, sweetheart.

I'm staying another
night at Granny's.

Yeah, OK. Yeah.
Er, that's... that's fine,

Will I...I pick you up tomorrow?

I'll text you.

Didn't even make it to the door.

She rang you, though.

She could've just texted.
She wants a dialogue.

Yeah? You really think so?

Is this what being a parent is like?

Your kid becomes like
someone you have

a crush on at school,
and you're constantly trying

to decipher every
single interaction.

Oh, she asked me earlier for a lift.

I think she likes you, Jim.

Yeah, you see,
now you've made it weird.

Well, she's just... She's trying to
keep the channels open.

She just wants to run it down from
50 to zero as much as you.

What are you doing, Jim?

In what sense? In any sense!

The case.

Us.

There can't be any "us".

So stop showing up at my hotel.

I know. I'm sorry.

Just, erm, hold that thought.

I, erm, I just...

I've gotta pee.

Oh, my God.

Er, where's the mini bar?

Er, you're kidding, right?

I thought we could share
a sparkling water.

Yeah. Let's push the boat out.

It's in the wardrobe.

Have you found it?

Jim?
