Bergerac (2025) s01e05 Episode Script
Run the Story
1
You're far more ruthless than
I could ever be.
I think you're the most dangerous
man I've ever met.
I never thought Kim was unsafe
with you.
Of course she's safe.
Agh! Kim! I'm OK.
Julien, who was driving
your car in the lead-up
to Cate's murder?
Ellie, these photographs were on
your phone.
They're of the Wakefield house.
Did you take them?
Cate sent them to me.
Cate had a second
secret phone that she's
hidden somewhere.
John Blakely's life was ruined.
What about my life?
It's about your confidence
in the conviction.
They found my hair in his car.
He disputes that.
Are you a corrupt cop who pursues
vendettas by framing innocent men?
No comment.
What the hell are you doing, John?
Oh, you've spoken to Chloe, then.
She's a real bloodhound, that one.
Well, that's a shame,
I was on a roll.
But this will be
far more entertaining.
Right, you listen to me, yeah?
You did it. You were guilty.
Ah. I was found guilty
under false means.
I've been thinking, how many other
poor innocent souls
have you stitched up?
I don't know about you,
but that keeps me awake at night.
Yeah? What about Sophie Armstrong?
Did you think about her?
Oh, I think she'd want
the right man to pay for the crime.
BANGING Ooh!
Careful, Jim. God's eyes
are everywhere.
CCTV of the soul.
Now, I forgave you,
but you just kept coming.
You stopped me from starting over
after I'd served my time.
The only reason we went to
the press is
because we can't trust the police.
Who's we?
Someone who hates you
as much as I do.
Arthur Wakefield.
So the law is paralysed,
for the wicked surrounds
the righteous.
So justice go forth, perverted.
Yeah, thou shalt not fucking abduct.
DOOR OPENS, SHUTS
Where's Julien?
He's at the police station.
He left the opera on the night of.
I didn't mention it
for obvious reasons.
And then he took my car.
Drove it here. He was seen en route
on CCTV.
Well, he must have killed Cate.
But why?
He took out a life insurance policy
on Cate for 250k,
presumably to pay off his
gambling debts.
But I thought you'd paid them
off, that he'd managed to stop.
Yeah, so did I. Looks like he's
fooled us all.
And he faked the ransom
after Lily had been taken.
What? No! His own daughter?! He
I need to call Lawrence,
get him to draw up a strategy.
Plead insanity, say that we did
everything that we could to help,
but in the end, addiction won out,
you know? Mm.
The ungrateful little shit!
He's robbed us of everything.
We need to preserve what little
we have left of our reputation.
Arthur I What?!
I need to tell you something.
PHONE BUZZES
Hi, Dad.
Hi, love? You OK? Um
How's Dragon Lady?
Still breathing fire.
Says it could have been a lot worse.
I could have broken my arm.
Uh, you didn't.And I could have
seen you being killed.
Yeah. Well, she should keep
her fantasies to herself.
The thing is
..she doesn't want me to see you
for a bit. What?
Not till you've sorted yourself out.
Who does she think she is?
Look, it's not her choice, Kim, OK?
It's yours. Look, I'll talk
to her. Put her on.
No, Dad. I'm not going to let her
take over your life, Kim.
I don't want you two fighting.
Again.
DOOR OPENS
She's coming. I should probably go.
Wait. Sorry.
You can't even talk to me now? Kim?
DIAL TONE
KNOCKING ON DOOR
Hi. Guess who just came to
the hostel like a man possessed.
Bergerac? Yeah. Totally lost
his shit. The cage is rattled.
Prison beckons. So how long
till you run the story?
Cos I can't wait. I spoke to Sophie.
I was hoping she'd concede that
Bergerac had coached her
into identifying you.
But she is convinced it was you.
Right, but we still have
the second search of the car.
No. I just had to explain this
to Arthur Wakefield.
It's not enough. Without hard proof
that Bergerac did this,
we could be sued for defamation.
Sorry, are you saying that
you're not going to run it?
I'm sorry, John.
You're serious?
OK, fine.
You need to go to this address.
It's the house I grew up in.
You'll need to go into my
old bedroom.
Top of the stairs,
first on the right.
There's a wardrobe.
Taped to the inside of the wardrobe
there's an old mobile phone.
I need you to get it,
and I need you to bring it to me.
But why can't you get it?
It's not safe for me to go there.
But it is safe for ME to go there?
You said you need evidence.
Wait, so there is evidence?
Well, why didn't you use it
at trial?
You'll see.
DOOR OPENS
DOOR SHUTS
So, we know that Julien took out
a life insurance policy on Cate
right around
the time he went into debt
with Rachini.
People have life insurance policies.
For all we know, maybe she had one
on him.
It doesn't mean that he was
desperate enough to kill her.
And besides
..insurance companies don't pay out
immediately after
a murder. It's a long shot, Barney.
He was desperate enough to fake
a ransom note
to his father for his own daughter.
That's opportunistic.
It's not pre-meditated, Barney.
It's a key difference.
Not pre-meditated?
He knew that she was at home,
alone, with no CCTV.
He snuck out the opera house,
he took his dad's car.
Master Wakefield in the nursery
with a candlestick.
Julien, look definitely,
it's promising.
PHONE BUZZES
But Arthur is still in the frame.
BARNEY SCOFFS
Hold on. Any luck enhancing
the CCTV of Arthur Wakefield's car?
Yeah, I've sent it to tech
but I'll chase them up.
Yeah.
What?
What exactly did she say?
I haven't gone into any detail
with her.
She just gave me the headline.
I put her in here.
Chief Inspector, I came here
to tell you that it was me driving
Arthur's car from the opera house.
I slipped out from the stalls,
took Arthur's keys from his
coat pocket
and drove back to the house
to talk to Cate.
What about?
Something she'd said before
we left, about Ellie Robson.
I presumed Julien must have told her
we'd been receiving
threatening letters.
Why? What did Cate say?
That she empathised with Ellie.
And that concerned me.
And then, during No, Non Tremare,
O Perfido Sorry?
Oh, Do Not Tremble,
You Treacherous One.
Act one, scene nine.
It struck me that they may have
been in contact with each other.
OK. So you left. Yeah? Mm-hm.
OK. What happened when you got back
to the annexe?
Well, we talked. And I was right.
I mean, Ellie had convinced Cate
that there was some
great conspiracy,
that she was denied all this money,
and Cate was naive enough
to believe her.
OK. So an easy target
for a vengeful woman.
Well, I'm sure Ellie was
very convincing.
There's just one problem.
The usher told us that no-one left
the stalls before the interval.
Well, they're wrong.Mm.
No, no, no.
It doesn't seem inconceivable
to me that you wouldn't step up
and take one for the Wakefield team.
Was this Arthur's idea?
That you would put yourself
in the frame to save him?
Your petticoat's showing,
Chief Inspector.
I'm sorry?
Your fixation with Arthur!
OK. For the sake of argument, then,
you go back to the annexe because
Cate and Ellie are conspiring.
Conspiring to do what exactly?
Well, that's what I wanted
to find out.
I mean, there isn't any proof,
so the best Cate could hope
to do would be to,
I don't know, undermine Arthur
in some way,
damage his profile, our profile.
I made it very clear that
that would be
a very, very bad idea, and I left.
Right. And Cate was still alive?
Yes. Absolutely. Why didn't
you tell us this before?
Because I knew how it would look.
And I didn't want Arthur grieving
a daughter-in-law who was, in
effect, stabbing him in the back.
But I can't stand by and watch
Julien be incriminated. So
Cate thought there was proof.
I'm sorry?
About the illegal purchase
of Allied Cirocell.
You said there wasn't any proof.
Cate thought there was.
Their plan was, Cate would go to
the theatre,
Ellie would sneak into the house
and go to Arthur's laptop
and take all of
the incriminating evidence
and sneak out
and take it to the press.
I mean, Cate had sent Ellie
hand-drawn plans of the house,
the location of the laptop,
the passcode.
I see. Ellie got cold feet.
Cate's last message to Ellie was,
"If you won't expose Arthur,
I will."
Cate feigned illness so she could
get the information herself.
Where did this argument take place?
It was more of a conversation.
Where did this conversation
take place?
In the nursery. Lily was in her cot.
No
I need I need to understand
the conversation.
Where were you? Where was she?
I was in the doorway.
Cate was by the fish tank.
OK. So, this is what I don't get.
Why Why would Cate put herself
and her baby at risk
by conspiring against
Arthur Wakefield while under
his roof?
She was leaving.
She was taking Lily
and she was leaving.
That's why there was that
half-packed bag in the nursery.
She was packing and
she got interrupted.
And that was the ultimate kick in
the teeth, wasn't it?
After everything you and Arthur
and Julien had done for her,
she was going to break up
the Wakefield empire,
your surrogate family,
run for the hills.
No wonder you lashed out.
No, that's that's
not what happened.
This wasn't just about Arthur.
It was about you.
You'd given your whole life
to this family, to this company,
and this ungrateful bitch was going
to destroy it all. No! That
I told you what happened!
W-We talked.
I-I went back and we talked.
That's that's all!
I went to talk to her!
So, Margaret finds Cate
about to leave with
the intention of exposing
Arthur Wakefield.
She tries to stop her,
it gets out of hand,
she bashes Cate over the head.
Unless Arthur has put pressure
on Margaret
to sacrifice herself in order
to protect the family name.
Arthur will have told her about
the speed cam picture of the car.
So maybe she's come forward
because she knows it's only
a matter of time before we identify
her anyway.
And her story ties in
with the time of death.
Julien and Arthur still don't
have alibis.
And the usher said that
no-one left the stalls.
Get Simon to talk
to the usher again.
If he still says no-one
left the auditorium,
then we charge Julien Wakefield.
If he says he's not sure now, then
it looks like Margaret's our killer.
Where are we with forensics?
Finally came back this morning.
Other than the family,
Mia and Margaret, there are
four unidentified DNA traces.
PHONE BUZZES
They did just have decorators in,
so we have to track them down
so we can eliminate them.
This fucking guy. I swear to God.
I have to go. Another lunch date,
is it?
It's just there's stuff to do here.
I'm meeting with
my therapist, actually.
You know, I would not say that
he was the best advert
for the effectiveness of therapy
Thought you had stuff to do!
KNOCKING ON DOOR
Hi. So sorry to do this.
I was just in the area
and I saw the for sale sign
and I just couldn't resist
asking for a sneaky peep.
Ron? Yeah? There's a lady here
that wants a viewing.
Hi.No viewings without an agent.
You could be anyone.
No, totally. Yeah, absolutely fine.
I'll talk to
I've just been a bit reluctant
to deal with agents.
You have to give over your details,
don't you?
And then you just become inundated.
Especially if you're a cash buyer
and not in a chain.
But, no, so sorry to disturb you.
Wait.
All right.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Oh, wow. Original features.
Why are you selling up?
Oh, we're going to live with
our son, Mark, in Scotland!
Oh, lovely. Is he your only child?
Do you want a viewing
or our life story?
Tea? Coffee?
Coffee would be great. Thanks.
Well, go on up.
Oh, it's OK. I can whizz round.
Save you.
I've been enough
of a nuisance already.
You said that no-one left the stalls
during the first act.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah, no. Definitely.
I need you to be certain.
Thing is, I'm not supposed
to leave my post at the door.
Josh, if you did,
that's not a criminal offence
but withholding evidence is.
This girl that works here,
in the cloakroom, she
..uh
..she asked me to meet her in
the storeroom.
OK.So I did.
And what time was this?
This is really important, Josh.
8.40.
How quick was this quickie?
I was back in position for
the interval at 9.20.9.20.
And you're telling me
the truth this time?
Yeah, look.
Coffee's ready!
I'll be down in a minute!
FOOTSTEPS
TAPE RIPS
What are you doing
poking about in here?
I'm a photographer.
I just thought this would make
a really good dark room.
It's time you went.
Sure.
She won't be having coffee!
PHONE BUZZES
And back in the room.
Yeah, it's not that easy
to navel gaze when you've just had
a lead on a murder investigation.
Oh. Well, you're my priority.
Oh, wow. Thanks, Pete. I'm touched.
How did it go with Kim?
Not great. We got interrupted.
Oh? Because of the case?
It does have a habit of doing that.
Well, go on, then.
What's this lead?
Arthur Wakefield's
looking less likely.
Margaret, his PA, she caught
Cate trying to leave the house
the night she was killed.
Cate was planning to expose Arthur
for defrauding Jonathan Robson.
She was working
with his daughter, Ellie.
Everyone talks about
Cate being weak
and naive, gullible.
But the Cate that sent messages
to Ellie from her secret phone
was sharp.
She was confident,
she was principled.
There's so much about Cate's life
that we don't know about.
What's that graze on your knuckles?
Oh, that's nothing.
I punched a wall.
It was quite restrained considering
the alternative was John Blakely.
Where did this happen?
John's hostel. Yeah, I know.
I know I shouldn't have gone there.
But no damage done.
Well, apart from to my hand.
Why did you want to punch him?
The point is, I didn't punch him.
Why are you still hounding
John Blakely?
This anger I'm picking up on,
this lack of control
Ah, here we go.
..what if it's projection
for the anger you feel
at losing Rachel?
You're hurling yourself into work
to avoid dealing with your grief
and as a result your emotions
are getting displaced because
you're not targeting the original
source. I cannot sit here while
Or maybe I'm doing it because
I'm trying to find out who killed
a young woman who was brave enough
to bring that fucking tyrant down.
I need to find Cate's second phone,
so let's just chat when her killer's
been caught, yeah?
I knew there was a reason I kept
every charger I'd ever owned.
So you saw them then?
How was Mum?
She seemed sad.
Yeah. He won't let her reach out
to me. He's a beast.
There. There, you see?
I took some photos that I was going
to send to her father.
But I never used this one.
No, no, no, go back.
You see through the window?
That is my father's red Metro.
That's not my car.
That is not the car that they
planted the evidence in.
That's Sophie Armstrong.
Yeah.
You wanted proof. There it is.
No, you said you were innocent.
You lied to me!
Not about Bergerac planting
the evidence. That was true! Look!
She was a child!
I'd have never pursued this
if I'd known!
Fine, fine.
Just take a minute.
I mean, you met with her.
She's fine, isn't she?
She was a child.
Look what you did to her!
SHOUTING: I served my sentence!
He hasn't.
I think we're done here.
I fucking see you.
DOOR SLAMS SHU
Well?
I have been charged with perverting
the course of justice
and bailed to attend court.
Ah. I'm sorry to hear that,
Margaret.Mm.
However, there is an upside.
Huh. We know it wasn't Julien.Mm.
Ahem.
Why? What were you going to say?
Well, they know I didn't do it.
Well, I wouldn't be so sure.
Bergerac's convinced I'm covering
for you out of some
sort of die-hard loyalty.
Even when we're telling
the bloody truth,
he's determined to pin it on me.
I'm telling you, the man's not well.
PHONE BUZZES
You've got to tell him.
Pfff.
Arthur. We were just talking
about you.
The Bergerac expose.
Enough dicking around.
You run the story tomorrow.
I'm sorry, Arthur, but whatever
Bergerac did to frame him,
we have evidence that proves
conclusively that Blakely did,
in fact, abduct that girl.
Yeah, right.
But I mean, you're not saying
Bergerac didn't falsify evidence,
are you?
No, I'm saying I'm not jeopardising
my career or my reporter's
by printing a story that champions
someone who abducts young girls.
Fine. I'll be talking
to the owner and the board.
Be my guest. And I'm sure
they'll agree with me.
This isn't a story,
it's a suicide note.
Well, thank you for your time.
Arthur, please, please,
just listen to me.
All that Blakely cares about
is hurting Bergerac.
Now, I know that aligns
with your objective. But
..Blakely, he's a very sick man.
So take my advice, have nothing more
to do with him.
He's toxic, Arthur.
If you have to go after Bergerac,
find another way.
Noted.
DIAL TONE He hung up.
You know that man you brought here
to my house, John Blakely?
It turns out he abducted the girl.
So now they're not running
the story.
I'm sorry.
I thought he'd be able
to help somehow.
Just explain to me again - why were
you in the annexe when Cate died?
So, as you know, she'd been speaking
with Ellie Robson.
I wanted to find out what they
were planning.Mm.
So you would have been
the last person to see Cate alive.
Hmm. Bergerac was right.
You are loyal to a fault.
What are you saying, Arthur?
Hmm? Oh, no, no.
Just thinking aloud, that's all.
You know.
SIGHING
One day someone's
going to walk through that door,
and it won't be about Jim.
Every time I get close to a
breakthrough, he talks about work.
The lines between personal
and professional are blurred.
I think he's projecting
his buried rage at losing Rachel
onto his suspects. Yes, he was
ranting about Arthur Wakefield
this morning. Again.
And then there's John Blakely.
Oh, that's sorted.
He's no longer in the frame.
No, Jim went to see him last night
at his hostel.
Ended up punching a wall.Dickhead.
Rather than being
a healthy diversion,
this case has become
an addiction of sorts,
a replacement for alcohol
which he'll do anything he can
to perpetuate. "Everyone can master
a grief but he that has it."
Bumper sticker?
Shakespeare.
My bad.
I'm going to have to take him off
the case.
Where are the, um?
Where are they? The, um The
Where are the photos Cate
sent to Ellie Robson?
Oh, uh Under here.
Are forensics still in the annexe?
Yes.
DIAL TONE
Poppy? It's DCI Bergerac.
You're still at
the Wakefield house, right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm just in the
Look, I need you to go to
the nursery.
What you up to, Jim?
And go to the
..fish tank.
Jim, I need a word. In my office.
Yeah. Sorry, Poppy,
you've gone quiet, where are you?
Yeah, I was downstairs.
I'm in the nursery.
OK, you see the fish tank?
Just go to it.
I need you to look inside.
What am I looking for?
There's just loads of fish.
What about the, um
Isn't there, like,
stones at the bottom?
Little tiny stones? Just
Can you dig around in there?
What is he doing? I have no idea.
Poppy?
What are you doing?
Poppy? Poppy, talk to me.
I don't want to harm the fish.
The fish are fine.
We can replace the fish.
OK, enough. Jim
SHOUTING: Jesus! Would you wait?
Poppy?
Nothing in the stones. What else?
A log.
It's quite realistic for plastic.
OK, can you pick that up?
Can you look inside?
Jim, hang up. I need to talk. Now.
Yeah, no, just hold on.
Um, Poppy? Talk to me.
There's, like, a freezer bag.
And there's a phone in it.
Yes! Yes, what?
Excellent work, Poppy.
I'm coming to pick it up now.
We got it.
We got Cate's second phone.
Margaret said that Cate
was by the fish tank,
and I thought, "She's not
going to be feeding them,
"so why is she there?" She was
hiding her secret phone
because someone was heading into
the annexe.
And then I saw the waterproof bag in
the corner of the photo
that Cate sent to Ellie.
I enlarged it.
"Why would Cate have
a waterproof bag?"
For the phone, in the fish tank.
Thank you and goodnight.
That's actually very smart.
Yeah, I know, right?
I And now we're going to find out
who the real Cate is,
because I think it's on there,
everything we need to know.
Jim. We need to talk.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm just going to pick up the phone,
and swing by once I'm done.
I know you went to see John Blakely
and punched his wall!
OK, um I didn't touch Blakely.
But no, I messed up.
I appreciate that.
I swear that will
never happen again.
It's harassment, Jim.Um
My God.
You arrested Arthur Wakefield
when I expressly told you not to,
you took your daughter on an arrest,
and now this!
I took a huge risk on you.
Yeah, and I just got us
a massive breakthrough!
Yes, and I need to secure
a conviction.
We can't risk some lawyer
getting the case thrown out
because you free-styled protocol.
I'm sorry, Jim.
I have no choice but to
No, no, no, no, no. Uma, wait.
..take you off the case.
I found Cate's phone.
And you can rest easy that
tech forensics will help us with it.
No.I never doubted your brilliance
as a detective, Jim.
Please, don't do this. Not now.
Don't take this away. I need this.
Take some time,
get your priorities straight.
Go home. Be a dad.
Right. Back to work, everyone.
Thanks to Jim, we have Cate's phone.
Our best lead so far.

Fuck off, there's a good lad.
I won't stay long.
The last thing I need today
is tetanus.
You haven't been quite straight
with us, have you, son?
No. I said Bergerac planted
evidence to secure my conviction.
No, you weren't straight
about who you are.
You failed to mention that you're
a grubby little sicko that abducts
young girls.
One young girl.Hmm.
That's an interesting hill to die
on. Fine.
What can I do for you, sir?
You wasted my time. However,
my forgiveness knows no bounds.
Nor does my generosity.
Bergerac's address.
And what am I expected
to do with this?
Use your imagination.
And what do I get in return?
Well, he's as much
your enemy as he is mine.
You said he lost you your job.
Well, we're always looking for fit,
hard-working young men
for our sites.
Fresh start, clean break,
blah, blah, blah.
I'm not just an animal that
you can let loose on someone.
Really?
Because I think that's exactly what
you are.
DOOR CLOSES
Hello, darling.Ah.
How was your day?
I didn't attend any arrests,
you'll be glad to know.
Starting early, Gran?
Maybe we have something
to celebrate.
Oh, what? An all-inclusive break
to Corfu?
Very funny. I'm not that drunk.
I've seen this.
They do skiing trips.
They have a state-of-the-art
music department
complete with a recording studio.
Places are like gold dust.
So I took the liberty
of signing you up for next term.
What?!
Your grades are suffering.
They have a 98% pass rate.
Your GCSEs are coming up.
REGAL MUSIC PLAYS
VOICE ON PHONE: I have a thirst
for knowledge
and already possess a broad
understanding of the cultural,
historical and geographical, which
makes me eager to discover more.
Is she AI-generated?
What about my friends?
You'll keep your old ones
and make new ones.
With these twats?
Your mother, darling,
was very happy there.
Not sure she'd agree.
Think of it as a new adventure.
There's been enough change.
Darling, sweetheart,
you were so keen before.
I was being nice.
It's my life, my decision.
Dad was right.
About what? Do surprise me.
You're trying to take over.
Because right now it seems
I'm the only responsible adult
in your life.
It's not me who keeps letting
you down, remember that.
Granny's only gone and signed me up
to the posh private school,
says I have to start next term.
What?
Granny's trying to turn me
into a version of Mum
that doesn't even exist! Um
You're right,
she's trying to take over.
Not on my watch, love.
Hey, it was just the one.
Fuck you, Dad.Kim
Stay away from me! Kim. Kim!
Kim, I'm sorry.
Leave me alone.
Just please. Would you just
come back and we can talk?
Not when you're pissed, we can't.
Why did you have to
prove Granny right?
PHONE BUZZES
Huh. Kara, it's not good time.
What..?
Cate only had two contacts
in her phone.
Ellie Robson,
and someone called Fred.
Ellie's phone is Ellie's phone,
but Cate's and Fred's were
pay-as-you-go, so untraceable.
And it looks like she deleted
the messages about once a week.
So they don't go back very far,
but what she says
is really interesting.
Um
"Margaret hates me.
"Watching and listening,
pretending to be on my side."
And this is to the, um
Fred? Guy? Stroke woman?
Heart emoji is the reply.
"The more I dream
about breaking free,
"the more she keeps tabs on me."
Fred says, "You can do this."
How many of these are there?
Loads. And this is just one week.
Almost all of them about Margaret.
"Margaret told me today
how lucky I was
"to be welcomed into the family,
"that I was adopted, like Lily.
A stray."
Look at this, a few days later.
"Just had big argument
with Margaret.
"She said Julien would be better off
without me.
"Then she said they'd all be
better off without me.
"I can't breathe, Fred."
And this, the night she was killed.
"They've all gone.
Tonight's the night.
"Arthur needs to be exposed.
"I just need the documents
and then I go."
And then, "I couldn't resist saying
something to Margaret,
"though, which was probably silly.
Funny, though."
Cry laughing emoji from Fred.
Then Cate says, "Thank you.
"I couldn't have done this
without you."
Fred replies, "You did this
all yourself. What a joy
"it's been to know you.
Safe travels."
Cate was clearly terrified
of Margaret.
What you said in her interview,
I think you were right.
She comes back to the annexe,
she talks to Cate,
Cate tells her what she's planning
to do.
Then Margaret kills her.
PHONE BUZZES Um
Oh, sorry. I need to take this.
Charlie, look,
I need to talk to Kim.
I thought she was with you!
She ran away. Hasn't gone
to her violin class.
OK.Her friends haven't seen her,
and now she's not answering
her phone.
Um
Look, I'm going to send you
an address. Meet me there.
I need to go.
Let me give you a lift.
You don't need to be breathalysed
on top of everything else.
I'd say she left mine
just after half past four.
I'm half an hour away on foot.
How long was she with you?
About a minute.
OK, find the nearest footage
to my house.
There. There she is! There!
Can you? Where's she going?
What have you got on King Street?
Try Tommassi's.
There, is that her?
What has she got?
She's got flowers.
She didn't have those before.
She's going to the graveyard.
I told Champagne Charlie to do one
with St Bitchadette's School, Mum.
I know you were bullied there
but were too nice to tell her.
I don't even know
who knows you any more.
I miss you.
I just want to hug you,
hold on to you.
Where is she?
Where is she? She was here.

Hey.
We'll find her.

fair hair, dark jumper.
He had his arm around her.
What? Who?
Who could it be?
BANGING, CREAKING

Vengeance is mine.
I will repay.
You're far more ruthless than
I could ever be.
I think you're the most dangerous
man I've ever met.
I never thought Kim was unsafe
with you.
Of course she's safe.
Agh! Kim! I'm OK.
Julien, who was driving
your car in the lead-up
to Cate's murder?
Ellie, these photographs were on
your phone.
They're of the Wakefield house.
Did you take them?
Cate sent them to me.
Cate had a second
secret phone that she's
hidden somewhere.
John Blakely's life was ruined.
What about my life?
It's about your confidence
in the conviction.
They found my hair in his car.
He disputes that.
Are you a corrupt cop who pursues
vendettas by framing innocent men?
No comment.
What the hell are you doing, John?
Oh, you've spoken to Chloe, then.
She's a real bloodhound, that one.
Well, that's a shame,
I was on a roll.
But this will be
far more entertaining.
Right, you listen to me, yeah?
You did it. You were guilty.
Ah. I was found guilty
under false means.
I've been thinking, how many other
poor innocent souls
have you stitched up?
I don't know about you,
but that keeps me awake at night.
Yeah? What about Sophie Armstrong?
Did you think about her?
Oh, I think she'd want
the right man to pay for the crime.
BANGING Ooh!
Careful, Jim. God's eyes
are everywhere.
CCTV of the soul.
Now, I forgave you,
but you just kept coming.
You stopped me from starting over
after I'd served my time.
The only reason we went to
the press is
because we can't trust the police.
Who's we?

He's at the police station.
He left the opera on the night of.

for obvious reasons.
And then he took my car.
Drove it here. He was seen en route
on CCTV.
Well, he must have killed Cate.
But why?
He took out a life insurance policy
on Cate for 250k,
presumably to pay off his
gambling debts.
But I thought you'd paid them
off, that he'd managed to stop.
Yeah, so did I. Looks like he's
fooled us all.
And he faked the ransom
after Lily had been taken.

I was hoping she'd concede that
Bergerac had coached her
into identifying you.
But she is convinced it was you.
Right, but we still have
the second search of the car.
No. I just had to explain this
to Arthur Wakefield.
It's not enough. Without hard proof
that Bergerac did this,
we could be sued for defamation.
Sorry, are you saying that
you're not going to run it?
I'm sorry, John.
You're serious?
OK, fine.

DOOR SHUTS
So, we know that Julien took out
a life insurance policy on Cate
right around
the time he went into debt
with Rachini.
People have life insurance policies.
For all we know, maybe she had one
on him.
It doesn't mean that he was
desperate enough to kill her.
And besides
..insurance companies don't pay out
immediately after
a murder. It's a long shot, Barney.
He was desperate enough to fake
a ransom note
to his father for his own daughter.
That's opportunistic.
It's not pre-meditated, Barney.
It's a key difference.
Not pre-meditated?
He knew that she was at home,
alone, with no CCTV.
He snuck out the opera house,
he took his dad's car.
Master Wakefield in the nursery
with a candlestick.
Julien, look definitely,
it's promising.
PHONE BUZZES
But Arthur is still in the frame.
BARNEY SCOFFS
Hold on. Any luck enhancing
the CCTV of Arthur Wakefield's car?
Yeah, I've sent it to tech
but I'll chase them up.
Yeah.
What?
What exactly did she say?
I haven't gone into any detail
with her.
She just gave me the headline.
I put her in here.
Chief Inspector, I came here
to tell you that it was me driving
Arthur's car from the opera house.
I slipped out from the stalls,
took Arthur's keys from his
coat pocket
and drove back to the house
to talk to Cate.
What about?
Something she'd said before
we left, about Ellie Robson.
I presumed Julien must have told her
we'd been receiving
threatening letters.
Why? What did Cate say?
That she empathised with Ellie.
And that concerned me.
And then, during No, Non Tremare,
O Perfido Sorry?
Oh, Do Not Tremble,
You Treacherous One.
Act one, scene nine.
It struck me that they may have
been in contact with each other.
OK. So you left. Yeah? Mm-hm.
OK. What happened when you got back
to the annexe?
Well, we talked. And I was right.
I mean, Ellie had convinced Cate
that there was some
great conspiracy,
that she was denied all this money,
and Cate was naive enough
to believe her.
OK. So an easy target
for a vengeful woman.
Well, I'm sure Ellie was
very convincing.
There's just one problem.
The usher told us that no-one left
the stalls before the interval.
Well, they're wrong.Mm.
No, no, no.
It doesn't seem inconceivable
to me that you wouldn't step up
and take one for the Wakefield team.
Was this Arthur's idea?
That you would put yourself
in the frame to save him?
Your petticoat's showing,
Chief Inspector.
I'm sorry?
Your fixation with Arthur!
OK. For the sake of argument, then,
you go back to the annexe because
Cate and Ellie are conspiring.
Conspiring to do what exactly?
Well, that's what I wanted
to find out.
I mean, there isn't any proof,
so the best Cate could hope
to do would be to,
I don't know, undermine Arthur
in some way,
damage his profile, our profile.
I made it very clear that
that would be
a very, very bad idea, and I left.
Right. And Cate was still alive?
Yes. Absolutely. Why didn't
you tell us this before?
Because I knew how it would look.
And I didn't want Arthur grieving
a daughter-in-law who was, in
effect, stabbing him in the back.
But I can't stand by and watch
Julien be incriminated. So
Cate thought there was proof.
I'm sorry?
About the illegal purchase
of Allied Cirocell.
You said there wasn't any proof.
Cate thought there was.
Their plan was, Cate would go to
the theatre,
Ellie would sneak into the house
and go to Arthur's laptop
and take all of
the incriminating evidence
and sneak out
and take it to the press.
I mean, Cate had sent Ellie
hand-drawn plans of the house,
the location of the laptop,
the passcode.
I see. Ellie got cold feet.
Cate's last message to Ellie was,
"If you won't expose Arthur,
I will."
Cate feigned illness so she could
get the information herself.
Where did this argument take place?
It was more of a conversation.
Where did this conversation
take place?
In the nursery. Lily was in her cot.
No
I need I need to understand
the conversation.
Where were you? Where was she?
I was in the doorway.
Cate was by the fish tank.
OK. So, this is what I don't get.
Why Why would Cate put herself
and her baby at risk
by conspiring against
Arthur Wakefield while under
his roof?
She was leaving.
She was taking Lily
and she was leaving.
That's why there was that
half-packed bag in the nursery.
She was packing and
she got interrupted.
And that was the ultimate kick in
the teeth, wasn't it?
After everything you and Arthur
and Julien had done for her,
she was going to break up
the Wakefield empire,
your surrogate family,
run for the hills.
No wonder you lashed out.
No, that's that's
not what happened.
This wasn't just about Arthur.
It was about you.
You'd given your whole life
to this family, to this company,
and this ungrateful bitch was going
to destroy it all. No! That
I told you what happened!
W-We talked.
I-I went back and we talked.
That's that's all!
I went to talk to her!
So, Margaret finds Cate
about to leave with
the intention of exposing
Arthur Wakefield.
She tries to stop her,
it gets out of hand,
she bashes Cate over the head.
Unless Arthur has put pressure
on Margaret
to sacrifice herself in order
to protect the family name.
Arthur will have told her about
the speed cam picture of the car.
So maybe she's come forward
because she knows it's only
a matter of time before we identify
her anyway.
And her story ties in
with the time of death.
Julien and Arthur still don't
have alibis.
And the usher said that
no-one left the stalls.
Get Simon to talk
to the usher again.
If he still says no-one
left the auditorium,
then we charge Julien Wakefield.
If he says he's not sure now, then
it looks like Margaret's our killer.
Where are we with forensics?
Finally came back this morning.
Other than the family,
Mia and Margaret, there are
four unidentified DNA traces.

How did it go with Kim?
Not great. We got interrupted.
Oh? Because of the case?
It does have a habit of doing that.
Well, go on, then.
What's this lead?
Arthur Wakefield's
looking less likely.
Margaret, his PA, she caught
Cate trying to leave the house
the night she was killed.
Cate was planning to expose Arthur
for defrauding Jonathan Robson.
She was working
with his daughter, Ellie.
Everyone talks about
Cate being weak
and naive, gullible.
But the Cate that sent messages
to Ellie from her secret phone
was sharp.
She was confident,
she was principled.
There's so much about Cate's life
that we don't know about.
What's that graze on your knuckles?
Oh, that's nothing.
I punched a wall.
It was quite restrained considering
the alternative was John Blakely.
Where did this happen?
John's hostel. Yeah, I know.
I know I shouldn't have gone there.
But no damage done.
Well, apart from to my hand.
Why did you want to punch him?
The point is, I didn't punch him.
Why are you still hounding
John Blakely?
This anger I'm picking up on,
this lack of control
Ah, here we go.
..what if it's projection
for the anger you feel
at losing Rachel?
You're hurling yourself into work
to avoid dealing with your grief
and as a result your emotions

a young woman who was brave enough
to bring that fucking tyrant down.
I need to find Cate's second phone,

been caught, yeah?

every charger I'd ever owned.

planted the evidence in.

Ahem.
Why? What were you going to say?
Well, they know I didn't do it.
Well, I wouldn't be so sure.
Bergerac's convinced I'm covering
for you out of some
sort of die-hard loyalty.
Even when we're telling
the bloody truth,
he's determined to pin it on me.
I'm telling you, the man's not well.

You've got to tell him.
Pfff.
Arthur. We were just talking
about you.
The Bergerac expose.
Enough dicking around.
You run the story tomorrow.
I'm sorry, Arthur, but whatever
Bergerac did to frame him,
we have evidence that proves
conclusively that Blakely did,
in fact, abduct that girl.
Yeah, right.
But I mean, you're not saying
Bergerac didn't falsify evidence,
are you?
No, I'm saying I'm not jeopardising
my career or my reporter's
by printing a story that champions
someone who abducts young girls.
Fine. I'll be talking
to the owner and the board.
Be my guest. And I'm sure
they'll agree with me.
This isn't a story,
it's a suicide note.
Well, thank you for your time.
Arthur, please, please,
just listen to me.
All that Blakely cares about
is hurting Bergerac.
Now, I know that aligns
with your objective. But
..Blakely, he's a very sick man.
So take my advice, have nothing more
to do with him.
He's toxic, Arthur.
If you have to go after Bergerac,
find another way.
Noted.

You know that man you brought here
to my house, John Blakely?
It turns out he abducted the girl.

to help somehow.
Just explain to me again - why were
you in the annexe when Cate died?
So, as you know, she'd been speaking
with Ellie Robson.
I wanted to find out what they
were planning.Mm.
So you would have been
the last person to see Cate alive.
Hmm. Bergerac was right.
You are loyal to a fault.
What are you saying, Arthur?
Hmm? Oh, no, no.
Just thinking aloud, that's all.
You know.
SIGHING
One day someone's
going to walk through that door,
and it won't be about Jim.
Every time I get close to a

The lines between personal
and professional are blurred.

his buried rage at losing Rachel
onto his suspects. Yes, he was
ranting about Arthur Wakefield
this morning. Again.
And then there's John Blakely.
Oh, that's sorted.
He's no longer in the frame.
No, Jim went to see him last night
at his hostel.
Ended up punching a wall.Dickhead.

Yes! Yes, what?
Excellent work, Poppy.
I'm coming to pick it up now.
We got it.
We got Cate's second phone.
Margaret said that Cate
was by the fish tank,
and I thought, "She's not
going to be feeding them,
"so why is she there?" She was
hiding her secret phone
because someone was heading into
the annexe.
And then I saw the waterproof bag in
the corner of the photo
that Cate sent to Ellie.
I enlarged it.
"Why would Cate have
a waterproof bag?"
For the phone, in the fish tank.
Thank you and goodnight.
That's actually very smart.
Yeah, I know, right?
I And now we're going to find out
who the real Cate is,
because I think it's on there,
everything we need to know.
Jim. We need to talk.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm just going to pick up the phone,
and swing by once I'm done.
I know you went to see John Blakely
and punched his wall!
OK, um I didn't touch Blakely.
But no, I messed up.
I appreciate that.
I swear that will
never happen again.
It's harassment, Jim.Um
My God.
You arrested Arthur Wakefield
when I expressly told you not to,
you took your daughter on an arrest,
and now this!
I took a huge risk on you.
Yeah, and I just got us
a massive breakthrough!
Yes, and I need to secure
a conviction.
We can't risk some lawyer
getting the case thrown out
because you free-styled protocol.

Well, we're always looking for fit,
hard-working young men
for our sites.
Fresh start, clean break,
blah, blah, blah.
I'm not just an animal that
you can let loose on someone.
Really?
Because I think that's exactly what
you are.
DOOR CLOSES
Hello, darling.Ah.
How was your day?
I didn't attend any arrests,
you'll be glad to know.
Starting early, Gran?
Maybe we have something
to celebrate.
Oh, what? An all-inclusive break
to Corfu?
Very funny. I'm not that drunk.
I've seen this.
They do skiing trips.
They have a state-of-the-art
music department
complete with a recording studio.
Places are like gold dust.
So I took the liberty
of signing you up for next term.
What?!
Your grades are suffering.
They have a 98% pass rate.
Your GCSEs are coming up.
REGAL MUSIC PLAYS
VOICE ON PHONE: I have a thirst
for knowledge
and already possess a broad
understanding of the cultural,
historical and geographical, which
makes me eager to discover more.
Is she AI-generated?
What about my friends?
You'll keep your old ones
and make new ones.
With these twats?
Your mother, darling,
was very happy there.
Not sure she'd agree.
Think of it as a new adventure.
There's been enough change.
Darling, sweetheart,
you were so keen before.
I was being nice.
It's my life, my decision.
Dad was right.
About what? Do surprise me.
You're trying to take over.
Because right now it seems
I'm the only responsible adult
in your life.
It's not me who keeps letting
you down, remember that.
Granny's only gone and signed me up
to the posh private school,
says I have to start next term.
What?
Granny's trying to turn me
into a version of Mum
that doesn't even exist! Um
You're right,
she's trying to take over.
Not on my watch, love.
Hey, it was just the one.
Fuck you, Dad.Kim
Stay away from me! Kim. Kim!
Kim, I'm sorry.
Leave me alone.
Just please. Would you just
come back and we can talk?
Not when you're pissed, we can't.
Why did you have to
prove Granny right?
PHONE BUZZES
Huh. Kara, it's not good time.
What..?
Cate only had two contacts
in her phone.
Ellie Robson,
and someone called Fred.
Ellie's phone is Ellie's phone,
but Cate's and Fred's were
pay-as-you-go, so untraceable.
And it looks like she deleted
the messages about once a week.
So they don't go back very far,
but what she says
is really interesting.
Um
"Margaret hates me.
"Watching and listening,
pretending to be on my side."
And this is to the, um
Fred? Guy? Stroke woman?
Heart emoji is the reply.
"The more I dream
about breaking free,
"the more she keeps tabs on me."
Fred says, "You can do this."
How many of these are there?
Loads. And this is just one week.
Almost all of them about Margaret.
"Margaret told me today
how lucky I was
"to be welcomed into the family,
"that I was adopted, like Lily.
A stray."
Look at this, a few days later.
"Just had big argument
with Margaret.
"She said Julien would be better off
without me.
"Then she said they'd all be
better off without me.
"I can't breathe, Fred."
And this, the night she was killed.
"They've all gone.
Tonight's the night.
"Arthur needs to be exposed.
"I just need the documents
and then I go."
And then, "I couldn't resist saying
something to Margaret,
"though, which was probably silly.
Funny, though."
Cry laughing emoji from Fred.
Then Cate says, "Thank you.
"I couldn't have done this
without you."
Fred replies, "You did this
all yourself. What a joy
"it's been to know you.
Safe travels."
Cate was clearly terrified
of Margaret.
What you said in her interview,
I think you were right.
She comes back to the annexe,
she talks to Cate,
Cate tells her what she's planning
to do.
Then Margaret kills her.
PHONE BUZZES Um
Oh, sorry. I need to take this.
Charlie, look,
I need to talk to Kim.
I thought she was with you!
She ran away. Hasn't gone
to her violin class.
OK.Her friends haven't seen her,
and now she's not answering
her phone.
Um
Look, I'm going to send you
an address. Meet me there.
I need to go.
Let me give you a lift.
You don't need to be breathalysed
on top of everything else.
I'd say she left mine
just after half past four.
I'm half an hour away on foot.
How long was she with you?
About a minute.
OK, find the nearest footage
to my house.
There. There she is! There!
Can you? Where's she going?
What have you got on King Street?
Try Tommassi's.
There, is that her?
What has she got?
She's got flowers.
She didn't have those before.
She's going to the graveyard.
I told Champagne Charlie to do one
with St Bitchadette's School, Mum.
I know you were bullied there
but were too nice to tell her.
I don't even know
who knows you any more.
I miss you.
I just want to hug you,
hold on to you.
Where is she?
Where is she? She was here.
She was She was here.
We saw her just just a minute ago.
Wait here.
SOBBING
Hey.
We'll find her.
Hey. Hey.
Miss you every day.
Kim left with a man. Average height,
fair hair, dark jumper.
He had his arm around her.
What? Who?
Who could it be?
BANGING, CREAKING
SLOW FOOTSTEPS
Vengeance is mine.
I will repay.
