Bergerac (2025) s01e06 Episode Script
Fred
1
Cate only had two contacts
in her phone.
Ellie Robson and someone called Fred.
Ellie had convinced Cate that
there was some great conspiracy.
BABY CRIES
Where are we with forensics?
Other than the family,
Mia and Margaret,
there are four unidentified
DNA traces.
You're hurling yourself into work
to avoid dealing with your grief.
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 tyrant down.
Bergerac's address.
And what am I expected to do
with this?
Use your imagination.
That's Sophie Armstrong.
I'd have never pursued this
if I'd known.
Kim left with a man. Who?
Vengeance is mine. I will repay.
CAR ENGINE SOUND
No. No, no, no, no, no.
DOOR SHUTS
You've been speaking to Ellie Robson.
I think it's time the world knew
what this family is.Hah.
Yes, I'm sure that sounded
marvellous in your head.
I see.
This would destroy you, too.
You'd lose everything.
I don't care.
Well, I don't believe you,
but very well.
Sleeping with Julien cost this.
Continuing to sleep with him
will cost more.
So how much do you want?
I don't want more of this.
Because it's not yours to give.
Or the Wakefields.
It's stolen goods!
But if I stay,
I'll become too used to it.
Then I'll hear about something else
you all did,
and I'll think, "OK, but next time,
I'll say something."
But I won't. And bit by bit,
I'll vanish.
Bit by bit, this family will devour
everything that's good in me.
And then I'll be you.
DISTORTED SPEECH
What? What did you say?
When was the last time
you saw Blakely?
When I was, um, at his hostel.
Right, and remind us
what happened there?
Er, he'd gone to the press.
He said the Wakefields
were supporting him.
He says I falsified evidence
against him ten years ago.
That's what this whole thing
is about.
OK, right. What we need
Has anyone contacted the NCA?
And we need a BOLO issued
to all officers.
And sniffer dogs. Um,
we need informants,
get the list.
Where's the fucking list?
Talk to all of them!
All the informants! Jim,
you can't be part of this.
You know you can't.
Leave it to us.
To us? To us? Who is us? Is it him?
Jesus, is "us" him, Uma?
Because, no. He From day one,
he You can't give this to him.
We'll have ears on your mobile
in the next hour.
If you hear anything before then,
you tell us, OK?
But for now
..I need you to go home. Come on.
Come on.
Barney, that was unforgivable.
We're good, Jim. Like Uma said,
we've got it.
Barney, I need a word.
There's an SIO coming from
the mainland.
Very experienced, dealt with
abductions like this before.
This is not a reflection on you,
but I've asked him to take
the lead on this.
That's twice now.
What kind of message does that send
about your faith in me?
A much better message than
Kim Bergerac turning up dead.
Anything? What happens?
I mean what happens now?
What are they doing?
I don't know. There's a process,
OK?
There's a hundred things that we do
in this situation.
But we have an advantage, OK?
We know who has her.
Who is it?
Someone I put in prison
ten years ago.
The guy, remember?
He took a child and I found her,
it's him.
Then why are you here?
You found this child before
and you said you were Jersey's
child abduction expert.
You literally said that just
the other day, so why are you here?!
Charlie, I work with these people.
PHONE RINGS They will find her.
This says no caller ID,
you'd better
Yeah?
Who's listening, Jim?
I'm assuming there's a trace
on your phone.
Have you put one on Granny's, too?
Don't lie to me now.
Look, it's just me and her.
Listen, John
..let her go. This is between us.
OK?
So just tell me where you are
and I can come right now,
no police, and we can talk.
Just the two of us.
You sound scared. I'm terrified.
Yeah. Kim's scared, too.
Tell me something. You're still
saying you didn't
falsify the evidence against me,
right?
I am, yeah.Hmm.
Well, then we've got a problem.
Because if I was to say,
"To get your daughter back,
"you have to go to the place
you planted the strand of hair,"
you wouldn't have a clue what I was
talking about, would you?
DIAL TONE BEEPS
I'm going to need your phone.
What's the passcode?
Rachel's birth date. Do you know
where he means?
Um, yeah. I think so.
So this is your fault.
Don't talk to the police.
BANGING ON DOOR Police, police!
We're trying to locate John Blakely.
Who's the supervisor?
Where's Blakely's room?
Thanks.
FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS
Tommy Guthrie!
Yeah, I thought so.
You shared a cell with John Blakely
in La Moye.
You've saved us a journey.
We were just about to visit you
at 15a Despard Road.
So, what you doing here? What,
you just thought you'd drop by
and say hello to your mate?
Yeah, b-but he's not here,
so I was just going to shoot.
All right. Only, I noticed
a sleeping bag on the floor
in his room. Tommy, you're not
staying here, are you?
No.Cos that'd breach
your conditions of residence,
which could get you sent back
to prison to complete your sentence.
No, man. I'm just here to see John,
like I said.
Well, why don't I give you
a lift back to your registered
address, then?
There's people there, yeah?
Like, people from before.
And I want to stop that shit.
So John was like,
"Use my floor, Tommy. Stay safe."
But you like it here, though?
Yeah. There's table football
and I'm crazy good.
How about this?
I see if I can get your residence
changed to here, and you tell me
what you and John talk about
during your sleepovers.
We've found three possible locations.
Kara's emailing Simon now.
Do you want us to go and check
those out?
VOICE OVER PHONE: No, get back here.
I've got my SIO arriving
any minute. I need you to brief him
on where we are.
PHONE DIAL TONE
What SIO? The one who's replacing me
when we get back. I'm being demoted.
Again.
Oh. I'm sorry, Barney. That sucks.
Am I shit and no-one's telling me?
No!
BARNEY SCOFFS
No, of course you're not.
Bergerac had his chance, right?
He had his big career-defining case.
That was ten years ago.
Which, by the way,
the rest of us are still mopping up.
Can I be honest with you, Barney?
And don't think I haven't noticed
that you all call him "boss".
Can I be honest with you boss?
The mopping up is that his daughter
has been kidnapped by
a sociopath.
OK, please don't take this
the wrong way,
but put your fucking
big-boy pants on.
Right. Shall we go?
All right.
Barney.Yes. Yes. I said yes. God.
Hey. DCI Jim Bergerac. Look,
I think someone's left a message
for me here.
Or maybe a letter or something.
Yeah, hold up.
Hold up. Yeah, the courier dropped
it off about an hour ago.
I did recognise the name,
I said, "He doesn't work here.
"You want the main headquarters."
But of course,
she's got her earphones in,
so she was like, "What?"
Thank you. I said,
"Take your earphones"
DIAL TONE
You didn't fake any evidence,
yet you knew exactly where to come.
Well, that is weird.
I know how your mind works, John.
I know how this story
you've told yourself goes.
I am sorry about your wife.
It was slow, wasn't it?
That must have been hard.
Don't talk about her.
Oh, today is all about getting stuff
off your chest.
Come out from where you're hiding.
I'll tell you all about it.
Oh, I wish I could,
but I'm miles away.
When you answered the phone,
you said, "I knew where to come."
Not, "I knew where to go."
Ooh! Clever, Jim. You've got me.
I have to say, you look like shit.
I'm here. Oh, you can't you see me
waving?
Look up. Look up. No, look down.
No, to your left. I'm on your left.
No, Jim, your left. Come out,
you fucking coward!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Jim.
Imagine if Kim heard you using
language like that.
Have we calmed down now? Yeah.
Good lad. OK. Leave the phone
on the ground, go to your car.
Put the keys on the front seat
and get in the boot.
In the boot? Bye, Jim.
DIAL TONE
CAR DOOR SHUTS, ENGINE STARTS
Oh, here he is.
Barney, this is Doug Marsh.
Uma says you went
to Blakely's hostel.
Yeah. Uh, Kara spoke to this guy
Tommy.
He's a friend of Blakely's.
Gave us three possible locations.
I think Simon's got them up on
the board.Great.
Belmont Gospel Hall.
Blakely goes to his Bible meetings
there and has a set of keys.
He goes in and sets out the chairs.
And then there's
a stately home where he would go
on school holidays.
Loved it there, apparently
his only happy memory as a kid.
We don't know the name, but
apparently it is closed down now.
Oh, that could be Oh, what's it
called? Pelham Hall. Here.
And a barn in Sion. He used to hike
there as a student.
It's a very rural area, though.
Lots of farms, smallholdings.
This is where she'll be.
Low population density.
Residences spread far apart.
Very little chance of being
overseen or overheard.
Sorry. Can I just?
Sion's a thirty-minute drive
from where she was last seen.
That's through half a dozen
busy villages.
Now, that is a long time
to keep someone subdued
without drawing any kind
of attention, right? So, I would
perhaps send someone to
the stately home. A couple of bodies
just because it's closer
and that's surrounded by woodland.
We have what at our disposal?
Ten officers? 12 tops?
Half that once you've covered
the ports and the airport.
Yeah? Where's he most likely to be?
And I'm not sending one spotty lad
on a bicycle,
because the rest are out searching
anywhere Blakely went on
a summer holiday. Class dismissed.
Huh.
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Hello, Jim.
Out.
DOOR SHUTS
Dad!
Jesus Christ.
Are you OK, love?
Dad, what's happening?
CHAINS RATTLE
It's OK. All right? It's all right,
it's nearly over,
I promise. Now listen to me,
did he hurt you?
No, no. Are you sure? No.
SHOUTING: She said no!
This was never about her.
Well, at least not entirely.
This is about you.
Right. Well, you've got me now,
so let her go.
Oh, all in good time.
Promise.
Don't fucking point.
Now, Kim. Bit of background,
otherwise none of this is going
to make any sense.
Ten years ago, your father falsified
evidence against me.
Sent me to prison.
He wouldn't do that.
That's adorable.
But sadly, not true
..as he's about to explain.
You want a confession.
I can't confess to something
I didn't do.
Oh, I have faith in you, Jim.
Dig deep.
You've already convinced yourself
that it happened.
What difference does me
saying it make?
I'll take the front You want to go
round the far side? Sure.
You know, when I was released,
I went home.
And my parents,
they hadn't visited me once.
Not once. So I wasn't expecting
a party
or some fucking banner across
the door.
Now, my father,
he must have seen me coming
because he was waiting at the door
when I reached the gate.
He told me to stop where I was.
He had a walking stick in his hand
and he shifted the stick
so it was lower down,
so the handle was like a
..like a weapon.
And me, like a dog.
That's how he looked at me.
Like I was a dog with foam
around its mouth.
Don't.
I want to change the way she looks
at you.
If I do this, what then?
Well, then, it's over.
Finding the girl was easy.
Just policing.
Eye-witnesses looking at maps.
And I knew it was you.
I knew it from the very first
interview.
But we had no proof.
We played Sophie a tape
of your voice.
She said, "That's him."
But she was blindfolded.
It wasn't enough.
You were going to get away with it.
And so, I took a strand of her hair,
I went to the garage, I put it
in your car,
and I requested a second search.
Finally. Wasn't so hard, was it?
I haven't finished.
I did it
..because you're an animal.
You think that you didn't hurt
that girl?
I bet you said it to yourself,
"I didn't lay a finger on her.
But you did.
You fucking terrorised her.
And so, I did it
..because you deserved to go
to prison.
But not like that.
I was a hero.
And I loved it, all of it.
The respect and the status.
My God.
The way my wife looked at me.
But it was a lie.
And the lie became heavier
and heavier
and now we're here, a decade later.
And I am exhausted from carrying it.
Yeah, I thought that was going
to make me feel better.
No! No. Oh, my God.
Please don't hurt him!
Oh, shit. Jim, you idiot.
No, no! Oh, my God.
Please don't hurt him!
Close your eyes, Kim.
VOICE OVER RADIO:
Barney, where are you?
No!
Barney, are you hurt?
They're in there. Blakely's armed.
Oh, Jesus!
John Blakely located
at Pelham Hall,
Rue de Amnistie. He has Bergerac
and his daughter.
He is armed. Advise silent approach.
VOICE OVER RADIO: Received.
Dad!
Dad!
BANG RINGS OU
VOICE OVER RADIO: Do not attempt
to enter the premises.
Request for ARV sent Barney, no!
SCREAMING
Dad! Dad!
Are you OK?
John Blakely, you're under arrest
on the suspicion of the abduction
of Kim Bergerac and the attempted
murder of DCI Jim Bergerac.
You do not have to say anything
Margaret's been charged with
perverting the course of justice
and released on bail.
But not for murder.
Well, I think that's imminent.
So we need to work out our next move.
Now, you know you're going
to go to prison
for faking a ransom demand. However,
there are prisons
and there are prisons,
and any half-decent lawyer
will argue that your actions were
the result of grief and shock,
and get you sent somewhere where,
I don't know, they'll have art
classes, a little vegetable garden.
Somewhere where they won't put
broken glass in your mashed potato.
When you say half-decent lawyer,
you mean
A very expensive one.Hmm.
So what do you need in exchange?
Well, you know about Ellie Robson
and what she's been saying I did.
Well, it turns out
that she reached out to Cate.
And Cate was planning
on going to the press.
I mean, it's horrific
what Margaret did.
And perhaps you were thinking
about memorialising Cate
in some way, finish her
unfinished business.
Publish and be damned.
My advice to you, is don't.
What about Bergerac?
I don't think we need to worry
about him.
He's got his hands full right now.
So Cate will have died
for, nothing then.
Honestly?
I think most people do.
What you going to do about Margaret?
It's done.
HORN HONKS
OPERA MUSIC OVER RADIO
Is it really bad?
No. No, not at all.
Yeah, it's faded a lot already.
Jesus, your face.
How's Kim doing?
She's shaken up. She's at
her grandmother's.
I'm heading over there now.
What you did today wasn't heroic
or selfless.
It was moronic and
spectacularly reckless.
Same goes for you two. I don't know
what's wrong with you all.
We have protocols,
ways of doing things that have been
arrived at through
successful outcomes.
They're not bloody
serving suggestions.
What happens next?
You've given your statement, yes?
We'll need one from Kim.
Well, I meant with
the Wakefield case.
I know what you meant.
But that's Barney's concern,
against my better judgment.
Not yours.
Just go home.
And stay there.
Um, thank you. I think you saved
my life.
Oh, don't say that.
I guess it's over, then.
All right, the Wakefield case.
We're still liking Margaret, correct?
The messages on Cate's phone,
how Margaret has always resented
Cate for invading
the Wakefields', how she's just
a gold digger
They've been a bit of
a game-changer.
They were to someone called Fred,
weren't they?
Did we ever find out who that was?
We are still looking.
I mean, it's probably just someone
from Cate's spin class.
But for now, we've got enough
to bring in Margaret.
It's all yours, Barney.
Right, Margaret Heaton.
Let's be having you.
Nice room. Thank you.
It's where I see my private clients.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realise
you had a private practice.
I thought all you did was deal
with hairy-arsed coppers.
LAUGHTER
No. But lovely as that sounds
So tell me what the hell happened.
She was abducted.
Wow.
John Blakely. He didn't hurt her,
but she's going to need some help.
So do you know of anyone
who could you know?
When she's ready to talk about it.
Uh, yes. No, I do. Hold on.
His name is Ben.
He's a trauma specialist.
He's great.
Say it's an emergency,
say you spoke to me.
Thank you.Right.
So how have you left the case?
Well, they're about to make
an arrest.
And some stuff is going to come out
about me and Blakely.
I faked some evidence,
so that's a whole big thing.
And I might end up in prison.
What? You said Blakely was guilty.
Yeah, well, the two things
aren't mutually exclusive.
Who are they arresting?
Is this a session?
What? No. Oh, confidentiality.
No, don't worry. Same rules apply.
OK.
It was Margaret, the PA.
BANGING
Oh. Sorry, that's my wife.
It's fine.
She won't come down, I said I had
a client here.
Is that your second wife?
No, first. Well, I mean, so far.
You said your wife was dead.
I did, didn't I? That was Sorry,
that was a little white lie.
You were going to stop our sessions
and I felt there was still
so much work to do.
OK, I wouldn't call that a white lie.
I am sorry if you feel I misled you.
No, I don't feel you did. You did.
Margaret. What was the motive?
Arthur Wakefield, he committed fraud.
Cate was going to go to the press.
Sorry, I'm still confused about
the thing with your wife.
You said a request had been made on
my behalf,
and you volunteered
because you'd lost your wife.
We had a shared experience,
so you thought you'd have something
to offer me.
All clients aren't equal, OK?
Some are just dull.
I mean, really dull.
No therapist will ever admit this,
by the way.
But I just thought, "Well, you'd be
interesting."
And was I? All I did was download
about the case.
As I said, we weren't always
talking about
the case when we were talking about
the case.
Just as I don't believe you're
really here for the number of
a trauma specialist.
OK, so why do you think I'm here?
You promised Kim a conversation
about her mum,
but the case kept getting
in the way.
The case is over now.
There are no distractions left.
It's not a problem, you know,
talking about
You have turned this into
this huge thing.
I can actually talk about her.
Oh, sure, sure. But maybe you need
a dry run.
Hmm?
Tell me about the night she died.
It took six days.
I mean, technically,
it was six months.
But to die it took her six days.
I don't remember a lot of it.
I think you do.
I think you are there now.
There was a picture.
I was sat on the right-hand side
of her bed
..and there was a picture
on the opposite wall.
What was the picture of?
Um Just
You know, generic. Hills.
Pastel colours. Um
I spent six days staring
at that picture.
It's burned into my brain.
And I hated it,
because it said that death
was peaceful, tranquil.
But it isn't. It's It's a
..a bare-knuckle fight. It's
It's decay.
Is there something you have
to consider?
Your clients are going to be looking
at it for months on end. Well,
it's a consideration, I suppose.
Tell me about those six days.
You've gone for the bookcase.
Classic.
Though that was mainly about having
somewhere to keep my books.
Tell me about those six days.
What were you thinking?
Sorry, I should have said
..I take sugar. Do you have any?
Jim.
How many? Just the one.
Huh. Just a sec.
Here. Thank you.
So that session, when you said
we weren't talking about
the case when we were talking about
the case, that was when
you told me to ignore all my doubts
about Mia and Tomos.
Er, if I recall,
I asked you to look at
what was underpinning that.
You know Uma sacked me?
Before everything happened with Kim,
because I went to see Blakely,
which you told her about.
I have a duty of care to you,
and the people around you.
It says so in that form I asked you
to sign before our first session.
Was Cate Wakefield a client of yours?
Why on earth do you ask that?
She was very unhappy.
Cate was in contact
with someone she called Fred.
The cable for that lamp cuts across
the spines of those books.
It covers the U in Freud.
I think Cate spent hours sitting
in this chair
..looking at that bookcase
behind you, seeing that word, Fred.
Just as I was staring at that
picture in my wife's hospital room.
In Cate's mind, you became synonymous
with that word.
Jim But why would you lie
about it? I mean,
you know that you couldn't be
my therapist. OK, OK.
I'm going to have to choose my words
carefully now,
but that, you know, is fanciful.
And it didn't just
You asked to be my therapist,
you volunteered.
SHOUTING: I've explained that!
I've
I've explained that.
How hard do you think it would be
to obtain a list of your clients?
She was a client. She was lonely.
There was
not a very healthy dynamic in
the Wakefield house.
So after she died, I wanted to take
you on so I could see how
the case was going. You know,
I was fond of her.
It was a mistake.
I realise that now.
Cate's second phone was
so she could communicate
with Ellie Robson.
Why were you on there?
She didn't want Julien to know
she came here, or any of them.
You were in contact with her
the night she died.
She told you she was leaving.
You wished her well.
I was very sorry to see her go,
but I understood.
I mean, if you had seen
the messages,
you'd know what Margaret
had been saying about her.
But here's the thing,
that was your second phone, too.
We tried to trace the number.
It's a pay-as-you-go.
I have a separate phone for clients.
No, I'm a client. You didn't give
that number to me.
I think you only ever gave it
to Cate.
Because even though she didn't
know it, she was different.
She was special to you.
Were you in love with her?
I wasn't in love with her, Jim. No.
And this was your last chance. Hmm?
You couldn't tell her in a text,
so you went to her house.
This is getting a little old now.
Did you ask her to stay? Hmm?
Start a life with you?
Or were you going to run away
together?
Either way, she says no.
She says maybe she's going
to tell your wife, then you fight.
My wife is here.
So I need you to go.
And you leave your DNA.
Remember I told you how hard it is
to get away
with murder because of how
sophisticated forensics are.
The problem is they have to be on
file, otherwise we can't find them,
unless we know where to look.
So tell me, Pete,
are we going to find you on there?
OK. OK, this is absolutely
I'm at fault!
I'm at fault! I admit that.
But the patient-counsellor
relationship is complex.
It's intense. I mean,
you share so much.
And maybe maybe I need
to take a beat
and examine that. If you're
imagining some some some
..sort of Oh, God. Oh, God.
SOBBING
Do you know, the thing is
..I would have made her so happy.
HE MURMURS
Pete Benedict, I am arresting you
on suspicion of
the murder of Cate Wakefield
sometime between 8pm and 10pm
on Tuesday, the 3rd of September,
OK.
OK, so we open with her lying
about the car.
Yeah? That leads us to motive,
protect Arthur.
Then bosh. Home in time
for Bake Off, yeah? Yeah.
You haven't done many of these,
have you? No. A couple.
Right. Well, you follow my lead.
And have fun with it, OK? Good luck.
Hold on, hold on.
I'm with Barney now.
It's Bergerac.
Margaret, hi. Did you want
to grab a table or?
No, I'm not stopping.
Um, Cate was about to run away.
She said there was a level
of toxicity in
the house that she couldn't tolerate,
and that if she stayed any longer,
she'd become like me.
I wanted to kill her.
So much so that when we came back
that night, I
..I wondered for a moment
if I HAD done it.
I have something for you.
There are different kinds of truths.
There are the blatant facts,
night follows day.
And then there are truths
that are so big
..it's like looking at a painting
with a magnifying glass.
You have to stand back to see it.
I stood back.
I had quite the view.
Huh.
Ten years ago, I planted forensic
evidence in John Blakely's car.
And on his phone, there is a voice
recording of me admitting it.
I've heard it.
What? How?
Never you mind.
Er, yeah. Well, anyway, I want
the matter investigated.
Is that the only time you planted
evidence or faked evidence?
Yes.
Yes, of course.
Good. Then having considered
the matter
..I've decided to take
no further action.
No, we need to get in front of it.
When Blakely's case comes to trial,
he'll want it admitted as evidence.
There isn't a jury in the world
that would believe it.
You had a gun pointing at you.
I'd say I was the Unabomber
if I had a gun pointing at me.
Not if I say it's true.
How selfish. My God, Jim.
How utterly self-indulgent.
What? Sorry, what?
All the other people you put
in prison since then,
they'll all want retrials.
That taxi driver
that assaulted those girls.
That doctor who killed his wife.
Pete Benedict,
we won't even get him to court
if this comes out.
So who ultimately would you be
serving here?
Not their victims.
Not Cate Wakefield. No-one but you.
I've I've carried this
for ten years.
And so you should.
Right. Run along. I've got a thing.
Oh, by the way, we're dropping
charges against Mia and Tomos.
And they're thinking of making
an application to adopt Lily.
Wow. What are their chances?
Slim. But slim is OK.
We can work with slim.
Er, what about Arthur Wakefield?
Not much we can do about him, sadly.
Let's just hope karma really
is a bitch.
ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS
Margaret. It's Arthur.
Again. You surprise me,
you really do.
Because it's all become
a bit petty now.
Sure, mistakes were made.
Nobody's saying they weren't.
But from where we were sitting
Could you take a look
over my statement?
I've sent it via email.
Fuck's sake.
I have prepared a brief statement.
Our family has suffered
a terrible loss.
Over the past couple of weeks
Oh.
Um
Our family has suffered
a terrible loss over
the last couple of weeks.
While we are relieved that charges
have been brought against
Pete Benedict Mr Wakefield.
Can I finish? We have been shown
evidence
of possible criminality
in your purchase of
a company called Allied Cirocell.
Do you have a comment?
I'm sorry? Several dozen emails.
An order to hack the emails
of a company director.
A valuation done under
the guise of a tax audit.
And a demand from a debt collection
agency that doesn't actually exist.
Would you like to respond?
I'm sorry, but can you speak up
a bit?
Mr Wakefield. Mr Wakefield!
INDISTINCT CHATTER
These are very serious allegations.
Surely you'd like to respond.
Hi.Hi.Hey.
Oh, wow. So you've got it working,
then!
Well, I rolled it out
of the garage and
progress kind of tailed off
after that.
Hello. What time do you call this?
Early.Hmm.Well.
Look at that classic from
a bygone era in need of repair.
That's entrapment.
The therapist says that
Kim's doing really well.
Did you ask him
if he'd killed anyone?
Yeah. He said no.
So, no harm done.
Is that what you're trying
not to say?
I thought we'd agreed a ceasefire.
In earshot of Kim, as I recall.
I'm a broken record, I know.
But the rage I feel towards you,
I don't know what to do with it all.
I will make things OK again.
I do hope so, Jim.
You've never had an enemy like me.
Don't forget Kim's school concert
on Friday.
I'll get a taxi there,
so as to avoid coming out
and finding my car on bricks.
Bye, darling.
Er, do you know anything about cars?
No, I was hoping you did.
So why did Mum get it for you?
Um, she said I needed a project.
Said you were her project. What?
No, what?
Remember when she'd lost all
her hair,
and we'd go out
and she'd pull her wig
so it was slightly lop-sided?
And she'd be talking
to people completely normally,
she'd be like, "Yes. No,
"no, I know." And I'd be
in the corner crying.
Um What do you want for dinner?
Don't mind.
Did I ever tell you about
the time I met your mum?
You did.
But tell me again.
Cate only had two contacts
in her phone.
Ellie Robson and someone called Fred.
Ellie had convinced Cate that
there was some great conspiracy.
BABY CRIES
Where are we with forensics?
Other than the family,
Mia and Margaret,
there are four unidentified
DNA traces.
You're hurling yourself into work
to avoid dealing with your grief.
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 tyrant down.
Bergerac's address.
And what am I expected to do
with this?
Use your imagination.
That's Sophie Armstrong.
I'd have never pursued this
if I'd known.
Kim left with a man. Who?
Vengeance is mine. I will repay.
CAR ENGINE SOUND
No. No, no, no, no, no.
DOOR SHUTS
You've been speaking to Ellie Robson.
I think it's time the world knew
what this family is.Hah.
Yes, I'm sure that sounded
marvellous in your head.
I see.
This would destroy you, too.
You'd lose everything.
I don't care.
Well, I don't believe you,
but very well.
Sleeping with Julien cost this.
Continuing to sleep with him
will cost more.
So how much do you want?
I don't want more of this.
Because it's not yours to give.
Or the Wakefields.
It's stolen goods!
But if I stay,
I'll become too used to it.
Then I'll hear about something else
you all did,
and I'll think, "OK, but next time,
I'll say something."
But I won't. And bit by bit,
I'll vanish.
Bit by bit, this family will devour
everything that's good in me.
And then I'll be you.
DISTORTED SPEECH
What? What did you say?
When was the last time
you saw Blakely?
When I was, um, at his hostel.
Right, and remind us
what happened there?
Er, he'd gone to the press.
He said the Wakefields
were supporting him.
He says I falsified evidence
against him ten years ago.
That's what this whole thing
is about.
OK, right. What we need
Has anyone contacted the NCA?
And we need a BOLO issued
to all officers.
And sniffer dogs. Um,
we need informants,
get the list.
Where's the fucking list?
Talk to all of them!
All the informants! Jim,
you can't be part of this.
You know you can't.
Leave it to us.
To us? To us? Who is us? Is it him?
Jesus, is "us" him, Uma?
Because, no. He From day one,
he You can't give this to him.
We'll have ears on your mobile
in the next hour.
If you hear anything before then,
you tell us, OK?
But for now
..I need you to go home. Come on.
Come on.
Barney, that was unforgivable.
We're good, Jim. Like Uma said,
we've got it.
Barney, I need a word.
There's an SIO coming from
the mainland.
Very experienced, dealt with
abductions like this before.
This is not a reflection on you,
but I've asked him to take
the lead on this.
That's twice now.
What kind of message does that send
about your faith in me?
A much better message than
Kim Bergerac turning up dead.
Anything? What happens?
I mean what happens now?
What are they doing?
I don't know. There's a process,
OK?
There's a hundred things that we do
in this situation.
But we have an advantage, OK?
We know who has her.
Who is it?
Someone I put in prison
ten years ago.
The guy, remember?
He took a child and I found her,
it's him.
Then why are you here?
You found this child before
and you said you were Jersey's
child abduction expert.
You literally said that just
the other day, so why are you here?!
Charlie, I work with these people.
PHONE RINGS They will find her.
This says no caller ID,
you'd better
Yeah?
Who's listening, Jim?
I'm assuming there's a trace
on your phone.
Have you put one on Granny's, too?
Don't lie to me now.
Look, it's just me and her.
Listen, John
..let her go. This is between us.
OK?
So just tell me where you are
and I can come right now,
no police, and we can talk.
Just the two of us.
You sound scared. I'm terrified.
Yeah. Kim's scared, too.
Tell me something. You're still
saying you didn't
falsify the evidence against me,
right?
I am, yeah.Hmm.
Well, then we've got a problem.
Because if I was to say,
"To get your daughter back,
"you have to go to the place
you planted the strand of hair,"
you wouldn't have a clue what I was
talking about, would you?
DIAL TONE BEEPS
I'm going to need your phone.
What's the passcode?
Rachel's birth date. Do you know
where he means?
Um, yeah. I think so.
So this is your fault.
Don't talk to the police.
BANGING ON DOOR Police, police!
We're trying to locate John Blakely.
Who's the supervisor?
Where's Blakely's room?
Thanks.
FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS
Tommy Guthrie!
Yeah, I thought so.
You shared a cell with John Blakely
in La Moye.
You've saved us a journey.
We were just about to visit you
at 15a Despard Road.
So, what you doing here? What,
you just thought you'd drop by
and say hello to your mate?
Yeah, b-but he's not here,
so I was just going to shoot.
All right. Only, I noticed
a sleeping bag on the floor
in his room. Tommy, you're not
staying here, are you?
No.Cos that'd breach
your conditions of residence,
which could get you sent back
to prison to complete your sentence.
No, man. I'm just here to see John,
like I said.
Well, why don't I give you
a lift back to your registered
address, then?
There's people there, yeah?
Like, people from before.
And I want to stop that shit.
So John was like,
"Use my floor, Tommy. Stay safe."
But you like it here, though?
Yeah. There's table football
and I'm crazy good.
How about this?
I see if I can get your residence
changed to here, and you tell me
what you and John talk about
during your sleepovers.
We've found three possible locations.
Kara's emailing Simon now.
Do you want us to go and check
those out?
VOICE OVER PHONE: No, get back here.
I've got my SIO arriving
any minute. I need you to brief him
on where we are.
PHONE DIAL TONE
What SIO? The one who's replacing me
when we get back. I'm being demoted.
Again.
Oh. I'm sorry, Barney. That sucks.
Am I shit and no-one's telling me?
No!
BARNEY SCOFFS
No, of course you're not.
Bergerac had his chance, right?
He had his big career-defining case.
That was ten years ago.
Which, by the way,
the rest of us are still mopping up.
Can I be honest with you, Barney?
And don't think I haven't noticed
that you all call him "boss".
Can I be honest with you boss?
The mopping up is that his daughter
has been kidnapped by
a sociopath.
OK, please don't take this
the wrong way,
but put your fucking
big-boy pants on.
Right. Shall we go?
All right.
Barney.Yes. Yes. I said yes. God.
Hey. DCI Jim Bergerac. Look,
I think someone's left a message
for me here.
Or maybe a letter or something.
Yeah, hold up.
Hold up. Yeah, the courier dropped
it off about an hour ago.
I did recognise the name,
I said, "He doesn't work here.
"You want the main headquarters."
But of course,
she's got her earphones in,
so she was like, "What?"
Thank you. I said,
"Take your earphones"
DIAL TONE
You didn't fake any evidence,
yet you knew exactly where to come.
Well, that is weird.
I know how your mind works, John.
I know how this story
you've told yourself goes.
I am sorry about your wife.
It was slow, wasn't it?
That must have been hard.
Don't talk about her.
Oh, today is all about getting stuff
off your chest.
Come out from where you're hiding.
I'll tell you all about it.
Oh, I wish I could,
but I'm miles away.
When you answered the phone,
you said, "I knew where to come."
Not, "I knew where to go."
Ooh! Clever, Jim. You've got me.
I have to say, you look like shit.
I'm here. Oh, you can't you see me
waving?
Look up. Look up. No, look down.
No, to your left. I'm on your left.
No, Jim, your left. Come out,
you fucking coward!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Jim.
Imagine if Kim heard you using
language like that.
Have we calmed down now? Yeah.
Good lad. OK. Leave the phone
on the ground, go to your car.
Put the keys on the front seat
and get in the boot.
In the boot? Bye, Jim.
DIAL TONE
CAR DOOR SHUTS, ENGINE STARTS
Oh, here he is.
Barney, this is Doug Marsh.
Uma says you went
to Blakely's hostel.
Yeah. Uh, Kara spoke to this guy
Tommy.
He's a friend of Blakely's.
Gave us three possible locations.
I think Simon's got them up on
the board.Great.
Belmont Gospel Hall.
Blakely goes to his Bible meetings
there and has a set of keys.
He goes in and sets out the chairs.
And then there's
a stately home where he would go
on school holidays.
Loved it there, apparently
his only happy memory as a kid.
We don't know the name, but
apparently it is closed down now.
Oh, that could be Oh, what's it
called? Pelham Hall. Here.
And a barn in Sion. He used to hike
there as a student.
It's a very rural area, though.
Lots of farms, smallholdings.
This is where she'll be.
Low population density.
Residences spread far apart.
Very little chance of being
overseen or overheard.
Sorry. Can I just?
Sion's a thirty-minute drive
from where she was last seen.
That's through half a dozen
busy villages.
Now, that is a long time
to keep someone subdued
without drawing any kind
of attention, right? So, I would
perhaps send someone to
the stately home. A couple of bodies
just because it's closer
and that's surrounded by woodland.
We have what at our disposal?
Ten officers? 12 tops?
Half that once you've covered
the ports and the airport.
Yeah? Where's he most likely to be?
And I'm not sending one spotty lad
on a bicycle,
because the rest are out searching
anywhere Blakely went on
a summer holiday. Class dismissed.
Huh.
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Hello, Jim.
Out.
DOOR SHUTS
Dad!
Jesus Christ.
Are you OK, love?
Dad, what's happening?
CHAINS RATTLE
It's OK. All right? It's all right,
it's nearly over,
I promise. Now listen to me,
did he hurt you?
No, no. Are you sure? No.
SHOUTING: She said no!
This was never about her.
Well, at least not entirely.
This is about you.
Right. Well, you've got me now,
so let her go.
Oh, all in good time.
Promise.
Don't fucking point.
Now, Kim. Bit of background,
otherwise none of this is going
to make any sense.
Ten years ago, your father falsified
evidence against me.
Sent me to prison.
He wouldn't do that.
That's adorable.
But sadly, not true
..as he's about to explain.
You want a confession.
I can't confess to something
I didn't do.
Oh, I have faith in you, Jim.
Dig deep.
You've already convinced yourself
that it happened.
What difference does me
saying it make?
I'll take the front You want to go
round the far side? Sure.
You know, when I was released,
I went home.
And my parents,
they hadn't visited me once.
Not once. So I wasn't expecting
a party
or some fucking banner across
the door.
Now, my father,
he must have seen me coming
because he was waiting at the door
when I reached the gate.
He told me to stop where I was.
He had a walking stick in his hand
and he shifted the stick
so it was lower down,
so the handle was like a
..like a weapon.
And me, like a dog.
That's how he looked at me.
Like I was a dog with foam
around its mouth.
Don't.
I want to change the way she looks
at you.
If I do this, what then?
Well, then, it's over.
Finding the girl was easy.
Just policing.
Eye-witnesses looking at maps.
And I knew it was you.
I knew it from the very first
interview.
But we had no proof.
We played Sophie a tape
of your voice.
She said, "That's him."
But she was blindfolded.
It wasn't enough.
You were going to get away with it.
And so, I took a strand of her hair,
I went to the garage, I put it
in your car,
and I requested a second search.
Finally. Wasn't so hard, was it?
I haven't finished.
I did it
..because you're an animal.
You think that you didn't hurt
that girl?
I bet you said it to yourself,
"I didn't lay a finger on her.
But you did.
You fucking terrorised her.
And so, I did it
..because you deserved to go
to prison.
But not like that.
I was a hero.
And I loved it, all of it.
The respect and the status.
My God.
The way my wife looked at me.
But it was a lie.
And the lie became heavier
and heavier
and now we're here, a decade later.
And I am exhausted from carrying it.
Yeah, I thought that was going
to make me feel better.
No! No. Oh, my God.
Please don't hurt him!
Oh, shit. Jim, you idiot.
No, no! Oh, my God.
Please don't hurt him!
Close your eyes, Kim.

No!
Barney, are you hurt?
They're in there. Blakely's armed.
Oh, Jesus!

and his daughter.
He is armed. Advise silent approach.

Dad! Dad!
Are you OK?
John Blakely, you're under arrest
on the suspicion of the abduction
of Kim Bergerac and the attempted
murder of DCI Jim Bergerac.
You do not have to say anything
Margaret's been charged with
perverting the course of justice
and released on bail.
But not for murder.
Well, I think that's imminent.
So we need to work out our next move.
Now, you know you're going
to go to prison
for faking a ransom demand. However,
there are prisons
and there are prisons,
and any half-decent lawyer
will argue that your actions were
the result of grief and shock,
and get you sent somewhere where,
I don't know, they'll have art
classes, a little vegetable garden.
Somewhere where they won't put
broken glass in your mashed potato.
When you say half-decent lawyer,
you mean
A very expensive one.Hmm.
So what do you need in exchange?
Well, you know about Ellie Robson
and what she's been saying I did.
Well, it turns out
that she reached out to Cate.
And Cate was planning
on going to the press.
I mean, it's horrific
what Margaret did.
And perhaps you were thinking
about memorialising Cate
in some way, finish her
unfinished business.
Publish and be damned.
My advice to you, is don't.
What about Bergerac?
I don't think we need to worry
about him.
He's got his hands full right now.
So Cate will have died
for, nothing then.
Honestly?
I think most people do.
What you going to do about Margaret?
It's done.
HORN HONKS
OPERA MUSIC OVER RADIO
Is it really bad?
No. No, not at all.
Yeah, it's faded a lot already.
Jesus, your face.
How's Kim doing?
She's shaken up. She's at
her grandmother's.
I'm heading over there now.
What you did today wasn't heroic
or selfless.
It was moronic and
spectacularly reckless.
Same goes for you two. I don't know
what's wrong with you all.
We have protocols,
ways of doing things that have been
arrived at through
successful outcomes.
They're not bloody
serving suggestions.
What happens next?
You've given your statement, yes?
We'll need one from Kim.
Well, I meant with
the Wakefield case.
I know what you meant.
But that's Barney's concern,
against my better judgment.
Not yours.
Just go home.
And stay there.
Um, thank you. I think you saved
my life.
Oh, don't say that.
I guess it's over, then.
All right, the Wakefield case.
We're still liking Margaret, correct?
The messages on Cate's phone,
how Margaret has always resented
Cate for invading
the Wakefields', how she's just
a gold digger
They've been a bit of
a game-changer.
They were to someone called Fred,
weren't they?
Did we ever find out who that was?
We are still looking.
I mean, it's probably just someone
from Cate's spin class.
But for now, we've got enough
to bring in Margaret.
It's all yours, Barney.
Right, Margaret Heaton.
Let's be having you.
Nice room. Thank you.
It's where I see my private clients.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realise
you had a private practice.
I thought all you did was deal
with hairy-arsed coppers.
LAUGHTER
No. But lovely as that sounds
So tell me what the hell happened.
She was abducted.
Wow.
John Blakely. He didn't hurt her,
but she's going to need some help.
So do you know of anyone
who could you know?
When she's ready to talk about it.
Uh, yes. No, I do. Hold on.
His name is Ben.
He's a trauma specialist.
He's great.
Say it's an emergency,
say you spoke to me.
Thank you.Right.
So how have you left the case?
Well, they're about to make
an arrest.
And some stuff is going to come out
about me and Blakely.
I faked some evidence,
so that's a whole big thing.
And I might end up in prison.
What? You said Blakely was guilty.
Yeah, well, the two things
aren't mutually exclusive.
Who are they arresting?
Is this a session?
What? No. Oh, confidentiality.
No, don't worry. Same rules apply.
OK.
It was Margaret, the PA.
BANGING
Oh. Sorry, that's my wife.
It's fine.
She won't come down, I said I had
a client here.
Is that your second wife?
No, first. Well, I mean, so far.
You said your wife was dead.
I did, didn't I? That was Sorry,
that was a little white lie.
You were going to stop our sessions
and I felt there was still
so much work to do.
OK, I wouldn't call that a white lie.
I am sorry if you feel I misled you.
No, I don't feel you did. You did.
Margaret. What was the motive?
Arthur Wakefield, he committed fraud.
Cate was going to go to the press.
Sorry, I'm still confused about
the thing with your wife.
You said a request had been made on
my behalf,
and you volunteered
because you'd lost your wife.
We had a shared experience,
so you thought you'd have something
to offer me.
All clients aren't equal, OK?
Some are just dull.
I mean, really dull.
No therapist will ever admit this,
by the way.
But I just thought, "Well, you'd be
interesting."
And was I? All I did was download
about the case.
As I said, we weren't always
talking about
the case when we were talking about
the case.
Just as I don't believe you're
really here for the number of
a trauma specialist.
OK, so why do you think I'm here?
You promised Kim a conversation
about her mum,
but the case kept getting
in the way.
The case is over now.
There are no distractions left.
It's not a problem, you know,
talking about
You have turned this into
this huge thing.
I can actually talk about her.
Oh, sure, sure. But maybe you need
a dry run.
Hmm?
Tell me about the night she died.
It took six days.
I mean, technically,
it was six months.
But to die it took her six days.
I don't remember a lot of it.
I think you do.
I think you are there now.
There was a picture.
I was sat on the right-hand side
of her bed
..and there was a picture
on the opposite wall.
What was the picture of?
Um Just
You know, generic. Hills.
Pastel colours. Um
I spent six days staring
at that picture.
It's burned into my brain.
And I hated it,
because it said that death
was peaceful, tranquil.
But it isn't. It's It's a
..a bare-knuckle fight. It's
It's decay.
Is there something you have
to consider?
Your clients are going to be looking
at it for months on end. Well,
it's a consideration, I suppose.
Tell me about those six days.
You've gone for the bookcase.
Classic.
Though that was mainly about having
somewhere to keep my books.
Tell me about those six days.
What were you thinking?
Sorry, I should have said
..I take sugar. Do you have any?
Jim.
How many? Just the one.
Huh. Just a sec.
Here. Thank you.
So that session, when you said
we weren't talking about
the case when we were talking about
the case, that was when
you told me to ignore all my doubts
about Mia and Tomos.
Er, if I recall,
I asked you to look at
what was underpinning that.
You know Uma sacked me?
Before everything happened with Kim,
because I went to see Blakely,
which you told her about.
I have a duty of care to you,
and the people around you.
It says so in that form I asked you
to sign before our first session.
Was Cate Wakefield a client of yours?
Why on earth do you ask that?
She was very unhappy.
Cate was in contact
with someone she called Fred.
The cable for that lamp cuts across
the spines of those books.
It covers the U in Freud.
I think Cate spent hours sitting
in this chair
..looking at that bookcase
behind you, seeing that word, Fred.
Just as I was staring at that
picture in my wife's hospital room.
In Cate's mind, you became synonymous
with that word.
Jim But why would you lie
about it? I mean,
you know that you couldn't be
my therapist. OK, OK.
I'm going to have to choose my words
carefully now,
but that, you know, is fanciful.
And it didn't just
You asked to be my therapist,
you volunteered.
SHOUTING: I've explained that!
I've
I've explained that.
How hard do you think it would be
to obtain a list of your clients?
She was a client. She was lonely.
There was
not a very healthy dynamic in
the Wakefield house.
So after she died, I wanted to take
you on so I could see how
the case was going. You know,
I was fond of her.
It was a mistake.
I realise that now.
Cate's second phone was
so she could communicate
with Ellie Robson.
Why were you on there?
She didn't want Julien to know
she came here, or any of them.
You were in contact with her
the night she died.
She told you she was leaving.
You wished her well.
I was very sorry to see her go,
but I understood.
I mean, if you had seen
the messages,
you'd know what Margaret
had been saying about her.
But here's the thing,
that was your second phone, too.
We tried to trace the number.
It's a pay-as-you-go.
I have a separate phone for clients.
No, I'm a client. You didn't give
that number to me.
I think you only ever gave it
to Cate.
Because even though she didn't
know it, she was different.
She was special to you.
Were you in love with her?
I wasn't in love with her, Jim. No.
And this was your last chance. Hmm?
You couldn't tell her in a text,
so you went to her house.
This is getting a little old now.
Did you ask her to stay? Hmm?
Start a life with you?
Or were you going to run away
together?
Either way, she says no.
She says maybe she's going
to tell your wife, then you fight.
My wife is here.
So I need you to go.
And you leave your DNA.
Remember I told you how hard it is
to get away
with murder because of how
sophisticated forensics are.
The problem is they have to be on
file, otherwise we can't find them,
unless we know where to look.
So tell me, Pete,
are we going to find you on there?
OK. OK, this is absolutely
I'm at fault!
I'm at fault! I admit that.
But the patient-counsellor
relationship is complex.
It's intense. I mean,
you share so much.
And maybe maybe I need
to take a beat
and examine that. If you're
imagining some some some
..sort of Oh, God. Oh, God.
SOBBING
Do you know, the thing is
..I would have made her so happy.
HE MURMURS
Pete Benedict, I am arresting you
on suspicion of
the murder of Cate Wakefield
sometime between 8pm and 10pm
on Tuesday, the 3rd of September,
OK.
OK, so we open with her lying
about the car.
Yeah? That leads us to motive,
protect Arthur.
Then bosh. Home in time
for Bake Off, yeah? Yeah.
You haven't done many of these,
have you? No. A couple.
Right. Well, you follow my lead.
And have fun with it, OK? Good luck.
Hold on, hold on.
I'm with Barney now.
It's Bergerac.
Margaret, hi. Did you want
to grab a table or?
No, I'm not stopping.
Um, Cate was about to run away.
She said there was a level
of toxicity in
the house that she couldn't tolerate,
and that if she stayed any longer,
she'd become like me.
I wanted to kill her.
So much so that when we came back
that night, I
..I wondered for a moment
if I HAD done it.
I have something for you.
There are different kinds of truths.
There are the blatant facts,
night follows day.
And then there are truths
that are so big
..it's like looking at a painting
with a magnifying glass.
You have to stand back to see it.
I stood back.
I had quite the view.
Huh.
Ten years ago, I planted forensic
evidence in John Blakely's car.
And on his phone, there is a voice
recording of me admitting it.
I've heard it.
What? How?
Never you mind.
Er, yeah. Well, anyway, I want
the matter investigated.
Is that the only time you planted
evidence or faked evidence?
Yes.
Yes, of course.
Good. Then having considered
the matter
..I've decided to take
no further action.
No, we need to get in front of it.
When Blakely's case comes to trial,
he'll want it admitted as evidence.
There isn't a jury in the world
that would believe it.
You had a gun pointing at you.
I'd say I was the Unabomber
if I had a gun pointing at me.
Not if I say it's true.
How selfish. My God, Jim.
How utterly self-indulgent.
What? Sorry, what?
All the other people you put
in prison since then,
they'll all want retrials.
That taxi driver
that assaulted those girls.
That doctor who killed his wife.
Pete Benedict,
we won't even get him to court
if this comes out.
So who ultimately would you be
serving here?
Not their victims.
Not Cate Wakefield. No-one but you.
I've I've carried this
for ten years.
And so you should.
Right. Run along. I've got a thing.
Oh, by the way, we're dropping
charges against Mia and Tomos.
And they're thinking of making
an application to adopt Lily.
Wow. What are their chances?
Slim. But slim is OK.
We can work with slim.
Er, what about Arthur Wakefield?
Not much we can do about him, sadly.
Let's just hope karma really
is a bitch.
ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS
Margaret. It's Arthur.
Again. You surprise me,
you really do.
Because it's all become
a bit petty now.
Sure, mistakes were made.
Nobody's saying they weren't.
But from where we were sitting
Could you take a look
over my statement?
I've sent it via email.
Fuck's sake.
I have prepared a brief statement.
Our family has suffered
a terrible loss.
Over the past couple of weeks
Oh.
Um
Our family has suffered
a terrible loss over
the last couple of weeks.
While we are relieved that charges
have been brought against
Pete Benedict Mr Wakefield.
Can I finish? We have been shown
evidence
of possible criminality
in your purchase of
a company called Allied Cirocell.
Do you have a comment?
I'm sorry? Several dozen emails.
An order to hack the emails
of a company director.
A valuation done under
the guise of a tax audit.
And a demand from a debt collection
agency that doesn't actually exist.
Would you like to respond?
I'm sorry, but can you speak up
a bit?
Mr Wakefield. Mr Wakefield!
INDISTINCT CHATTER
These are very serious allegations.
Surely you'd like to respond.
Hi.Hi.Hey.
Oh, wow. So you've got it working,
then!
Well, I rolled it out
of the garage and
progress kind of tailed off
after that.
Hello. What time do you call this?
Early.Hmm.Well.
Look at that classic from
a bygone era in need of repair.
That's entrapment.
The therapist says that
Kim's doing really well.
Did you ask him
if he'd killed anyone?
Yeah. He said no.
So, no harm done.
Is that what you're trying
not to say?
I thought we'd agreed a ceasefire.
In earshot of Kim, as I recall.
I'm a broken record, I know.
But the rage I feel towards you,
I don't know what to do with it all.
I will make things OK again.
I do hope so, Jim.
You've never had an enemy like me.
Don't forget Kim's school concert
on Friday.
I'll get a taxi there,
so as to avoid coming out
and finding my car on bricks.
Bye, darling.
Er, do you know anything about cars?
No, I was hoping you did.
So why did Mum get it for you?
Um, she said I needed a project.
Said you were her project. What?
No, what?
Remember when she'd lost all
her hair,
and we'd go out
and she'd pull her wig
so it was slightly lop-sided?
And she'd be talking
to people completely normally,
she'd be like, "Yes. No,
"no, I know." And I'd be
in the corner crying.
Um What do you want for dinner?
Don't mind.
Did I ever tell you about
the time I met your mum?
You did.
But tell me again.
