Bergerac (2025) s01e02 Episode Script

1
I drank because it hurt too much.
I've stopped because it's meant to.
We have decided that Kim needs
an environment that is sober.
Sober, as in? As in
the opposite of this.
NEWS REPORT: Between the
hours of 8pm and 11pm,
a young woman was killed, identified as
Cate Wakefield. WOMAN SCREAMS, BABY CRIES
You're going to be
investigating that?
That feels like a big step, Dad.
Do you think he's back for
good? I think he thinks he is.
You were Head of Crime Services,
then I was. Acting, technically.
Cate wasn't killed because
she walked in on a burglary,
but an attempted abduction
of Lily Wakefield.
An ANPR camera picks
up a car registered to
John Blakely, at the time of crime.
What time did you leave the pub?
11:30.It would've taken five
minutes to find that out.
MEWS REPORT: Questions are already being
asked about their handling of the inquiry.
Jesus, no! No! She's gone!
Someone's taken Lily!
Good, you're back.
They're interviewing Piers Morgan
and it's making me violent.
Did you see the news earlier?
It was ghastly.
Catastrophes, carnage,
incompetence.
But you probably don't
want to talk about work.
Well, as much as I love
our chats, Charlie,
could we do this another time?
You think I don't like you.
You don't.
It's complex.
My daughter loved
you, Kim loves you,
but you disappoint her at times, you hurt
her at times, and that, I don't like.
Life
Life without Rachel
..obliterates everything else.
It's where I live now.
And you do too,
I know. We're cell
mates, if you will.
We may as well
try and get along.
And in that spirit, I've come to remind you
that it's Kim's parent's evening tomorrow.
I know she'd like you to be there,
and I think you'd enjoy it too.
Thank you. I did
actually know about it.
Name me three of her teachers
and I'll dance the
tarantella on that table.
Tempting though that is
..Charlie
..I went back to work too soon.
I thought it would help me, so I
could help Kim. Now, I'm not so sure.
I'm going to resign.
That family needs someone
..in one piece. So does Kim.
MOBILE VIBRATES
We'll expect you tomorrow
evening, 6:15 sharp.
Uma. Your theory was right. Lily
Wakefield has been abducted.
The two investigations
will run in parallel.
Barney will continue to lead
the murder of Cate Wakefield,
and the abduction of Lily
Wakefield will be headed by Jim.
Given the crossover,
you'll have to pool
resources and information.
So, think you can
play nicely together?
Yeah. No, of course.
I'm not overly thrilled
with either of you.
We're 26 hours into
the investigation,
we have no suspect,
and babies are being stolen
from under our noses.
Now piss off, I
need to get changed.
I was at a thing and this
just looks weird now.
John Blakely's just
completed a sentence for
a crime almost
identical to this.
His name will come up
as a Person of Interest,
and we should be ready for that.
So this time, handle
it better. By the way,
you have an appointment
at 8:30 tomorrow morning.
Counselling. As we agreed.
I've booked you the family room.
It has the comfiest chairs.
And given what
happened yesterday,
I think a daily check-in
would be a good idea.
No, I don't have time to
talk to someone every day.
Not arresting the wrong people
should free up your diary a bit.
OK, what have we got?
Lily was taken from a
ground floor room in
the main house
sometime between 8:40
and 9pm tonight. It was
only when Arthur went in
to check on her that he
realised she was missing.
Didn't we have any uniform there? An
officer in a marked car outside the house.
We think they accessed the
grounds via the wall at
the back of the garden. So, either they
also knew about the lack of CCTV
Or whoever killed Cate
Wakefield came back.
We've got forensics in the main
house as well as the annex now.
Arthur and Julien have decamped
to St Brelade's Bay Hotel.
I'll head over first thing.
Good. What about press? We're all good so
far. No-one's noticed, no-one's asking.
Let's keep it that way.
OK. This takes us back
to yesterday's theory that Cate was killed
while attempting to stop an abduction.
But we won't know for certain until
whoever took Lily makes contact.
So, we need traces on all calls to
and from the Wakefield's phones.
Yeah, sorry, we're waiting on
authorisation, but I will chase them.Good.
Is it strange for there to
be no ransom demand yet?
Usually, it comes pretty quickly. Unless
whoever took Lily doesn't want money,
they just want her. That's
a line we should pursue,
but I don't think
that's what this is.
So, we need a door-to-door at all surrounding
properties looking at CCTV and security camera footage.
Let's hope they got better
coverage than the Wakefields.
Er, we also need to look at
anyone recently released from
prison who's been involved
in similar offences.
And, yes, that
means John Blakely.
We've issued an
All Ports Warning,
with a description of
what Lily was wearing,
in case anybody tries to
take her off the island.
Great, I'm going to talk to
Mia, go over her statement.
Kara, find out what's happening with road
closures and vehicle searches. Yes, boss.
I'll brief uniform see what
they can spare for door-to-door.
I don't need this.
And yet, here you are. Yeah,
because Uma said I need support.
You don't agree?
I think all things considered,
I'm doing pretty bloody well.
"All things considered".
Unpack that for me?
No No.
Because it's all in my file,
which you'll have read.
I get the sense that
you view this as
a punishment, like paying
a toll to cross a bridge,
a bit of annoying but necessary
admin. Nah, that's not true.
No? No. Because like I said, I
don't think this is necessary.
What if it helped? What
if this was a safe space
for you to grieve, to
process, to reflect
..to rage?
It's none of those things.
They're not my
priority. Not right now.
What is?
Honestly?
The case I'm working on,
should be working on.
So, talk about that.
Could she have been
taken off the island?
It's unlikely, the ports
are being monitored.
She could have been taken
off on a private boat,
but I'm not going to think
about that right now.
SPEAKS IN OWN LANGUAGE
Tomos spent a lot of time with
Lily when I would bring her here.
Er, Mia, I wanted to
talk you about Cate,
just about her life away
from the Wakefields.
When we had our daughter, my wife made friends
through the NCT. Did she do anything like that?
They didn't get Lily until
she was seven months old,
and groups like that are
sort of established by then.
Erm sorry, they
didn't "get" Lily?
Lily's adopted.
They tried to have a baby
ever since they got married,
but they So, they adopted
Lily. Didn't you know that?
Clearly not.
Chief Inspector, Margaret
sacked me yesterday.
So, we'll be leaving
Jersey, as soon as we can.
Tomos was offered
a job in Porto.
My friend has died and
now I don't have a job.
We have nothing here.
There's a police
officer in reception.
I've said to wait, so that we
can make ourselves presentable.
DO you think it was
about the letters?
I've told you, I think we
should let the police decide.
You know this will finish us,
them asking the questions.
We'll lose everything, for
what? A line of bloody enquiry.
It's got to be one of
the staff. It has to be.
MOBILE VIBRATES
Yeah, Arthur Wakefield.
Can you hold, please?
I'm just going to put
you on speaker? Julien.
OK, go ahead. DISGUISED
VOICE: We have Lily.
Jesus Christ, just
give her back, please!
I, erm I presume there's a deal
to be done. So, shall we talk terms?
250k in a plain hold-all,
in Royal Square,
under the statue of King George.
Six o'clock this evening.
When do we see Lily?
Well, first I need to
know if I can trust you,
cos I'm telling you now,
if I see one cop there,
Lily goes for a swim in
the harbour. Are we clear?
Crystal.
How How do we know
that you have her?
I took her from a room
on the ground floor,
wood panelling, a stuffed, I
don't know, dog in her cot.
Christ, just give me
back my daughter, please!
That's the plan, so
don't fuck with me!
Wait, wait
Did you kill Cate?
HANG UP TONE
Just give me their room
number, I'll head up.
So sorry to keep you
waiting. Margaret,
Mr Wakefield's chief of staff.
He and Mr Wakefield junior
have had to go to a meeting.
But please, come on up.
Erm, a meeting?
Today?
Well, it's not as simple
This is a joke, right?
Look I wanted to apologise.
Yesterday could have been
handled better. That's on me.
Oh, right, somebody
yelled at you, did they?
Yeah, well. Message delivered.
I need to know where you
were last night, John.
Are you OK? I'm being serious,
should I call someone?
Because I spent most of the evening
with you. You do remember that?
After that.
We need to eliminate
you from our enquiries.
You already did.
Wait Cate Wakefield
died the night before.
This is in regard to
a separate incident.
This is never going to end, is it? I just need to
know where you went after you left the police station.
I went home, I took a shower,
I watched TV, and I prayed.
You're in a hostel, right? Someone
must have seen you, talked to you.
No-one that would speak to
you. So, same time tomorrow?
Yeah. This This story,
how you're the victim of
a great miscarriage of justice,
I bet it plays well with
the other ex-offenders, nut
none of them were there!
None of them know what you are.
Boss? Here's an interesting
thing, Lily Wakefield was adopted.
Yeah, we probably should
have known that. Yeah, look,
see if you can trace
the birth parents.
Er, any word from the kidnappers? Nothing yet.
But listen, Arthur and Julien aren't here.
And Margaret, the PA,
she said they had
to go to a meeting.
A meeting? His daughter's been
abducted, he couldn't reschedule?
Literally what I said.
OK. Er, I'm heading over.
7-speed dual clutch gearbox.
Carbon ceramic brake system.
Nought to 60 in 2.9 seconds.
You know when Keats said
a thing of beauty is
a joy forever? Could have
been talking about this car.
I heard about Cate.
Obviously, I did.
We all heard about Cate.
And is this connected?
Or just horror upon horror?
Pretty much horror
upon horror.Mm.
And, how much do you need?
250. Cash. But
quickly. You know,
everything that I have,
it's It's tricky to access.
I mean, you understand. Curse
of the rich, eh, Dickie?
Yeah.
Oh, we're old ghosts, you and I.
You'd think the world would
have had enough of us by now.
Give me 30 minutes.
Thanks.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Hey.Boss.Hello, Margaret. I was
hoping to speak with Julien,
but I hear they're in a
meeting. Did I say meeting?
They've actually
gone to see friends.
I mean, they're quite
distressed, as you can imagine.
KNOCK AT DOOR Erm, I'll get Julien
to call you as soon as they return.
Hi. I'm so sorry to disturb
you. I'm a resident here
and, well, I recognised the
gentleman from the television.
Right. And I just wanted
to pay my condolences.
That's Thank you.
I'm going to ask you not
to tell anyone about this.
No, no, of course
not. Are they in?
Or perhaps I could
I tell you what,
I'll talk to them
later. Give them those.
You are kidding me. Hey, hey.
Hey
Hey! Hey!
Ah, Chief Inspector. I don't
think you're a guest here.
Well, I wouldn't want to be.
Have you tried the wi-fi?
So, it's true. Lily
Wakefield's been abducted.
Where did you hear that? Well, that
explains why the Wakefields are here.
And why you're here.
You've got experience
of child abductions,
haven't you? Has there
been a ransom demand?
And surely this has
got to be connected to
the death of Cate Wakefield the night before. We
have nothing to share with the press right now.
Or with you. I am the press. Oh,
I see what you did
there. Hysterical.
Er, excuse me. This
lady's wandered in off
the street. Can you
escort her out, please?
Oh, don't get me thrown
out. The shame of it.
Liz Truss got me thrown
off a boat, literally.
Listen, we want to run this
in the evening edition,
so any comment from you
would be really great.
Can you give us a sec?
Good. Off the record?
Mm-hm. The situation is
extremely delicate right now.
If you publish this, you could
be putting Lily's life in danger,
and that's not me bullshitting
you. So, I'm asking you not to.
Please.
Fine.
But you owe me.
Mr Wakefield!
Bergerac.
Erm, any news? Er, no,
nothing yet, I'm afraid.
Listen, I just wanted to assure you that we're
doing everything we can to get Lily back.
Good, good. Thank you.
Margaret said you had a meeting.
A meeting? Hm.
Er, no, it was, well, just
a gathering with friends.
There's a lot of attention
on you both right now,
attention that we could do
without. So can you just
Can you just stay put? Don't
make this any harder for us.
In the meantime, I'd like
a quick word with Julien.
Oh, yeah. Sure, of
course. Dad. Yeah.
The last time I dealt with
an investigation like this,
the family received
a ransom note,
but they felt that they would be
better off handling it themselves.
This impacted on our ability
to conduct the investigation,
and also delayed the
rescue of their daughter.
I'm telling you this on the
off-chance that you've heard
something from whoever
it was that took Lily
and don't know whether or not to
tell us. It's always best to tell us.
Dad
OK, I received a phone
call this morning.
OK? When Steve here
gives you the signal,
head to the square at a normal
pace. Don't talk to anyone.
If someone asks you for time
or directions or anything,
just answer politely,
continue to the drop off,
put the bag down at
the foot of the statue,
look at your phone. 30
seconds. Then, move away,
leaving the bag, like
you've forgotten it,
and then come you back here.
OK. And where will you lot be?
We'll be monitoring
the situation remotely,
but we've got people in
position all around the square.
But they said no police.
Because they want you isolated.
We don't intervene when
they pick up the bag,
we follow them, and that
should take us to Lily.
Yeah.
Trust me. This is
how we get her back.
Yeah, OK.
Have him stay, because
if he comes around right,
he's there to attack her.
Who's us? The Telecom engineers,
they've been in place
for over an hour.
Scratch your arse,
Billy. Yeah, the couple,
Daisy and Fergus.
And other Billy is
the guy in the stall.
We've gone full Village People.
And our various spotters in
windows. Have we got the bag?
Tracer in the lining,
signal is loud and clear.
Anyone we don't like?
Couple of kids. The
guy in the Crocs.
I think that's more about
the Crocs. HE CHUCKLES
Having fun, aren't we?
Yeah, too right.
No-one becomes a cop
to fill in forms.
MOBILE VIBRATES
Oh, shit. I have to take this.
Hi, love.
Are you on your way?
Er, look, erm, look, I'm
so sorry but something's
just come up at
work. And it's
It's quite a big, operation
and I I have to be here.
Right.
But listen, I'll come over to
granny's once I'm done here
and you can You can
tell me all about it.
They won't talk to me. What?
The whole point is
it's the parents.
I just mean, I can speak to
them any day at school. Hold on.
I can take you.
Granny says she can take me.
Er, yeah, yeah, if she's
sure she doesn't mind.
He says, are you
sure you don't mind?
Mind? It'll be a pleasure, Jim.
Tell her thank you.
And. erm, I'll see
you later. I love you.
Something came up at work.
Well, never mind.
Now you can show me
off to your friends.
You ready, boss? By the way, I
spoke to the adoption agency.
Lily's birth parents
are both dead.
It was a house fire on the
mainland hence the adoption.
OK, thanks. Sorry,
erm, can I have a word?
Yeah.
I was looking at
the CMS earlier.
Turns out that John
Blakeley's alibi was logged.
An off duty officer spotted him in
the pub where he was doing the quiz.
The officer hadn't seen him
there before so he filed
an intelligence report. So, it was on
the CMS but only on medium priority.
Yeah, no, that happens, it's
an old operating system, so
Thing is, it was logged by you.
OK.But later,
when I was pitching John
as a suspect to the team,
you didn't mention that you'd
literally just filed an alibi for him.
I, erm
I mean, I logged a lot
of intel yesterday,
I must have forgotten
about it, I'm really sorry.
These things happen.
Fuck!
OK.
Green light.
Who else is watching him?
Drop off ahead.
Now, go.
Who's that?
Who is he talking to?
What are you talking about, it's yours, you were
carrying it? Just get out of my way, please.
No, no, no, you can't
leave that bag there.
Somebody find out
what's going on.
You've got to take you
bag, it's a security risk.
Get them out of the bloody way!
Jesus, will you get
him out of there?
Listen, get somewhere safe
and I'll see what's what.
You can't just leave a bag
lying around. Move back, please.
Where's Julien?
TRACKER BEEPING
Bag's moving across Halkett
Place into the Central Market.
Move!
Oh, blimey!
He saw you and he
knew it was a set up.
So, he told me to follow him and then
he hit me, and he took the money.
You down there, you that way. Jesus
Christ, what's he going to do?
What's he going to
do with my daughter?
Is that going to be a
regular thing, then?
A lot of the other lads are
in the same situation as you,
so having police coming in
and out makes them nervous.
Well, this is not a
situation that I created,
so what would you suggest I do?
Well, that's what I'm saying. What?
What is what you're saying, Tom?
You're not saying anything, Tom.
You've got no plan
beyond coming over here
and whining like a little bitch!
What do you want me to say, "Oh, I'm sorry
please don't sack me? I'll be a good boy now"?
Talk to the police.
I didn't want you here.
No-one who's hurt kids,
that was my rule, but I
made an exception for you.
So maybe watch your mouth, mate!
For we know him who said
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay."
It is a fearful thing to fall
into the hands of the living God.
She's gone out with her friends.
This is something they do
now, after a parents evening.
If we have to bail her out of
jail again, you'll have to drive.
Lily Wakefield
has been abducted.
She's the daughter of the young
woman who was killed two nights ago.
And today, there was a huge
operation to get Lily back.
And no-one else could
have taken your place.
Turns out I'm Jersey's
child abduction expert.
And did you get her back?
No.
Some expert.
How did the parents' evening go? The
teachers were all very complimentary.
She's a popular, likeable child.
But there's been a steady
decline in her grades.
Obviously, there's I mean,
her mum died six months ago.
A decline that
began before then.
A decline, I believe, is exacerbated
by the school's limitations.
What So, what limitations?
Kim says they're lucky
to get the same teacher
for more than half a term,
the buildings are
constantly under repair,
they don't have the equipment
or the resources they need.
And so, I think Kim should
go to St Bernadette's.
Your Your old school
..right?
Rachel's old school. I will
pay all the fees and the costs.
I cannot stand by and watch my granddaughter's
education be compromised like this.
Er, no. Kim likes her school,
her friends are there.
She needs stability right now.
If you want to pay for
something, pay for a tutor.
Make a donation. No, she doesn't need to be airdropped
into some up-its-own-arse private school with
a bunch of bankers' daughters.
I wouldn't be too dismissive
of privately educated
bankers' daughters,
seeing as you married one,
and another just stood in
for you at Kim's parents'
evening, while you were
While I was what? What?
This is the thing,
Charlie. Even when
Rachel was a kid,
you didn't need a job, you didn't
have to balance work and being a mum.
It must look so easy
from the outside.
Every, every failure,
every missed appointment,
can only be laziness, can
only be a lack of care,
because not once in your life
did you ever have to choose.
If choice is so
important to you,
why don't we ask
Kim what she thinks?
Because she No, she's a child.
I do find it extraordinary,
that you'll go to untold lengths
to protect this missing child.
This abstract, stranger's child,
yet you'll jeopardise
your daughter's education,
her future, out of Out
of what? Pride? Snobbery?
No, my concern is the type
of person she'll become.
Someone like me, you mean?
You're telling me
that's not the plan?
Of course it isn't the
plan. Don't be so idiotic!
I'm not trying to take
Kim away from you.
Then why is she here?
Why is she in your house?
Why are you trying to get
her to go to your school?
I'm not her parent, Jim. You
are. But I can love her too.
I can worry about her too. I
can want what's best for her.
Don't fucking patronise me, all
right? I'm not saying that you
What? You're not saying what?
Tell Kim I'll be here tomorrow
morning before she goes to school.
Barney! I know where
Lily Wakefield is.
I went to your apartment.
The landlord said
you'd packed and gone.
I knew you wouldn't go to
an airport or a public port.
I'd basically told you not to.
We can make her happy.
We can We love her.
Do you think Julien does?
I know him, he He
can't protect her.
Mia, this can't
happen. You know that.
Listen You got
here ten minutes late.
OK. You know where
we're going, just
Just give us a head
start, if you find us,
OK, but if you don't,
she'll be happy,
I swear, and we'll
love her. Just pretend.
Please. There was traffic and
you got here ten minutes late.
Mia
SPEAKS IN OWN LANGUAGE
SHE SOBS
No, no.
SIREN
Walk me through the
night Cate died.
This is irrelevant.
My client is not under
arrest, in relation to
the murder of Cate Wakefield.
I'll rephrase that.
An attempt to abduct
Lily was made on
the night before
you abducted Lily
and so the next morning, you
go into work, what happened?
The house is full of police,
and they tell me that
Cate has been killed.
When did you decide
to take Lily?
Was it the first attempted
abduction that gave you the idea?
No. We had no idea
that's what had happened.
We didn't know that someone
had tried to take Lily.
But on the very next
night, coincidentally,
that's exactly what you do. Why?
Because I love her.
I couldn't let her live in that
house, I didn't think she was safe.
So, you didn't think
she was "safe"?!
That family,
they're not what
they show the world.
It's all carefully
managed, by Margaret.
Were you scared of them? Always
a little. Now, especially.
Because you attempted
to abduct Lily?
No, because of what
they did to Cate.
You think they killed Cate?
You don't?
Let's say you're right. Let's say
the family are weird and complex,
and you took Lily
to keep her safe.
Where I come unstuck
is the quarter of
a million pounds you tried to
extort from the family afterwards.
No, we didn't,
there was no ransom.
Listen, I have a kid, so I
know how expensive they are.
If anything, you should
have asked for more.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
The money wasn't with you
when you were arrested,
so has it already been shifted off the
island? We're assuming you have an accomplice,
because it wasn't you or Tomos
who made the ransom call.
We didn't ask for
money. KNOCK AT DOOR
Er, time is 9:17pm.
For the purposes of
the recording, DC Calvert
has just entered the room
and handed me a piece of paper.
DC Calvert has
just left the room.
There's a banking
app on your phone.
The most recent transaction
is a deposit of £16,000.
My my wages. What is that,
a month? I want to be a nanny.
But your wages come from a
Wakefield family account.
This was from an account
with just Cate's name.
She was putting some
money aside. For what?
I don't know.
For her. OK, Arthur had made
Julien make Cate sign a prenup.
So, when they got divorced,
Cate would get nothing.
So, she had been putting some
money aside, for her and Lily.
She told you that? For the
purposes of the recording,
Ms Alves is nodding.
Why would she transfer it
all to you? I don't know.
I think she wanted
to pay me in advance.
From her own account, with
the money she had been saving?
That doesn't make any sense.
We did a data request on the
account and we found this.
For the purposes of the
recording, I'm showing Ms Alves
a copy of the application to open
Royal Jersey account number 8790081.
It was set up in Cate's
name four months ago.
Is this Cate's signature?
Yeah, I think so.
OK, well, that's weird.
This is a club membership
that Cate signed in
August last year. As you can,
see the signatures don't match.
Before you answer, Mia,
just think, for a
second, how this looks.
OK, yeah, I set up the account.
OK, she couldn't get away from
Julien long enough to do it.
And if he found out, he would
ask what it was for. So I did it.
So, if you set it up, I'm
guessing you can access it too.
Yeah, I suppose.
OK. So, Cate was squirrelling
away money in case
Julien divorced her, using
an account that you set up,
but for some reason she decides
to give it all to you as,
what, seven months wages in
advance? For the second time,
Mia can't answer for
someone who's dead.
My client has admitted
to her part in
the alleged abduction
of Lily Wakefield.
If this continues, I will
ask for a break to have
a further consultation
with my client.
But the money was
transferred yesterday,
by which point Cate had
been dead for 18 hours.
Mia, I've spoken to so many
people in your position.
They always think they can
hang onto all the threads of
a story and they can't. These
conversations always end the same way.
OK. Yeah.
I transferred the money.
It was Lily's money.
We needed it to look after her.
Because by this point you
had decided to take Lily,
rather than leave her
with Julien and Arthur
and Margaret. OK, we're
getting somewhere.
I don't think this was a
decision that you made yesterday,
I think you've been planning
this a very long time.
This bank account had
nothing to do with Cate,
did it? She didn't
even know it existed.
You were the one
stealing the money.No.
And if anyone noticed,
they wouldn't be suspicious
because the account was in Cate's name. No,
no, no, no, that's, that's not how it happened.
And when you had enough,
you could grab Lily
and get off the island,
but it's taking too long.
So you need to accelerate things a bit. You
know Cate's going to be home alone that night,
you know there are no security cameras,
you decide this is our best shot.
I advise you to make
no further comment.
Killing her was clearly an accident.
Maybe Tomos lost his temper.
Because if that's what happened, that's a different
conversation, it's a much easier conversation.
No, no, no, no, no, Tomos would never hurt anyone.
Why couldn't Cate protect Lily? Why was it up to you?
I would like this interview
terminated immediately
to further advise my client. She did her
best. Her best? God, that was "her best"?
She wasn't going anywhere was she, Mia? Cate was
going to stay in this toxic, volatile household,
and live this, you know, pretty
luxurious life. No, no, she needed,
she needed She said she
needed a safety net first.
The fact is, Cate
had no plans to leave
the Wakefields, because she fitted right
in. No, that's not true. No, no, no,
that's not true, she was
unhappy, she was seeing
We are done here, DCI Bergerac. My client
will not answer any more of your questions.
The lifestyle, she wasn't going to give that up.
And you were the only one who cared for Lily.
The only one who knew what growing up
in this environment would do to her.
No, Cate cared her
too, I know she did.
That must have driven you absolutely
insane. I know it would me.
You must have thought, "Jesus Christ, Cate,
be a grown up!" Yeah, I was angry! OK, she
could have left at any
time and she didn't!
She knew what that family
was like and she stayed.
Why? Why did she stay? Because
she was greedy and she was weak!
DCI Bergerac, you need to terminate this interview
immediately or arrest my client for further matters.
You read my mind. Mia Alves, I'm
arresting you on suspicion of
the murder of Cate Wakefield,
sometime between the hours of eight
and 10pm on Tuesday
3rd of September 2024.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I've got to ask, how
did you know it was Mia?
Well, when I saw Mia earlier,
she wasn't distraught
about Lily's abduction,
which, given how much she loves her,
it just seemed like an odd reaction.
And then this evening, I was talking
to someone about something else,
and they reminded me that you don't need to be
someone's parent to love them unconditionally.
And it all just kind
of fell into place.
Oh, it's on, it's on.
NEWS REPORT: The police haven't
released any details as yet,
but sources close to the
investigation say this latest
and potentially crucial breakthrough
was made by Jim Bergerac.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE DCI Bergerac,
a well-known figure in Jersey,
was a controversial choice
for the investigation.
But it looks like this gamble
might well have paid off.
Back to the studio.
You off?
Yeah, I'm going to get a
good sleep before tomorrow.
I'll take the lead on Tomos,
when the interpreter gets here.
Good result here. Well done.
Thanks, Barney. I can't
take all the credit.
Yeah, no-one's asking you to.
MOBILE VIBRATES
Hi, love. Erm, I'm really,
really, sorry about tonight,
but granny said that That thing on the
news just now, was that why you couldn't come?
Er, yeah. Yeah. It's
been a bit of a day.
But I should have given you a
heads-up earlier and I'm really sorry.
So you found who did it
then, who killed that lady?
Er, possibly.
That's amazing.Erm
Well, look, we're putting a
case together and we're close.
So, maybe we could talk
about you coming home?
We can take it slowly, you
know, few days a week at home,
with me, a few days with granny,
while I tie things up here.
I'd like that, Dad.
So, have you see the time?
Why aren't you in bed?
Love you. Cheers, thanks, bye.
Nice one, Jim.
You got out just in time.
Simon's one Rolling Rock
away from starting a conga.
So, where are we
at with charging?
Er, we should have an
interpreter in the morning,
so we can interview Tomos.
And then re-interview
Mia for Cate's murder.
I reckon we should be able to charge
her by the close of play tomorrow.
Well, it's a great result, boss.
Hm. Why didn't Mia and Tomos take
Lily on a night they had her?
Why choose a night
she'd be with Cate,
risking the exact
thing that happened?
To throw suspicion
off them. I mean,
it worked. We never
even considered them.
Yeah, but up until that point
Mia had been so careful.
And then on the crucial night
they go and do this insane,
reckless thing. It
doesn't make sense.
So what you saying?
I don't think they killed Cate.
