Bergerac

Jesus, no. She's gone. Someone's taken Lily!

Cate was killed while attempting to stop an abduction.

Have you shown them the letters?

This has... This has nothing to do with the damn letters.

You think it was one of the staff?

I want them gone, all of them.

John Blakeley's alibi was logged. But later,

when I was pitching John as a suspect to the team,

you didn't mention you'd just filed alibi for him.

Maybe we could talk about you, coming home.

I'd like that, Dad.

We can make her happy. We love her.

Where I come unstuck is the quarter of

a million pounds you tried to extort from the family.

There was no ransom.

It doesn't make sense. I don't think they killed Cate.

I've been asked by the Wakefield family to make

a statement.

Words cannot convey

the relief we feel having dear Lily back.

And to know that major progress has been made into

the investigation into our beloved Cate's murder.

As you can imagine,

this has been a very difficult time for the family.

Firstly,

we'd like to thank everyone who has sent messages of condolence

and support. We really have been overwhelmed.

But most importantly we'd like to thank the police.

And in particular, DCI Bergerac.

There it is.

It was his tenacity

and diligence that brought Lily home,

and led to this arrest.

Nonetheless, we are still grieving. And so,

as I'm sure you'll understand,

we would ask for privacy at this time. Thank you.

Returning to our top story...

That has to be some kind of record.

Cate's only been dead, what? 60 hours?

Well, I mean killing someone and getting away with it,

it's almost impossible today. You know.

There's CCTV everywhere, there's, there's mobile phone tracking,

there's unbelievably sophisticated forensics now.

Yeah, but from what you told me,

none of those are how you found the murderers.

No, no. Yeah, it was more, er, instinctive.

And I think that's why I'm second-guessing it now.

Because there are holes in the theory.

Right, you mean their alibi?

There's definitely holes in their alibi,

no, I mean holes in

the police's theory about them killing Cate.

So, I'm confused. It was your theory.

But now you think that somebody else killed Cate?

Who may or may not have also been attempting to take the baby?

Maybe we shouldn't be discussing the case.

Sometimes when we are discussing the case,

we're not discussing the case.

Why did you go back to work?

Because...

..I was ready.

Because, well,

grief was defining me. Because I was a mess.

Because I needed

to prove something to myself.

To Kim.

When did you last have a drink?

About 58 hours ago.

How's that going?

How's it going? It's torture.

You don't look like someone who's being tortured.

Where is Kim in her process of grief, do you think?

Have you tried talking to her?

That...

..that's pending.

OK. Say they did it, Mia and Tomos.

Walk me through what happens next.

Well, we put together a case, and we take it to court.

So, the team investigating the murder do.

My, my job is to find

the ransom money and tie up the abduction charge.

That feels less consuming. So...more time to think.

Sorry, you think my doubts aren't actually doubts?

That I'm artificially prolonging the case?

If you have found who did it, then the end is in sight.

With no support,

a conversation about your dead wife "pending",

and not even three full days into sobriety.

I...I just want you

to think about what that would mean.

So the magistrate has denied bail for Mia and Tomos

because they're such obvious flight risks.

Where are we with the timeline?

On the night Cate was killed,

Mia says they were at home all evening.

We can trace them through till receipts

and CCTV up until 16:03 and then we lose them.

So, we need to keep looking.

Or we should consider other possibilities.

Nah, we're not there yet. Here's a question.

They don't have a car.

How did they get to the house the night they took the baby?

The bus, Mia said.

OK, let's pull CCTV from all buses whose routes go towards

the Wakefield house an hour before Cate was killed,

and away an hour after. Contact the minicab companies,

circulate Mia and Tomos's picture.

Half a lager top for

the first person that puts them at or near the house

the night she was killed. HE CLICKS FINGERS

I set you up beautifully there. You did?

Yeah. I said, "We should consider other

"possibilities." And then I looked at you,

so you could stand up,

rip down Mia and Tomos's photos

and say what you said yesterday. It would have been brilliant.

Yeah, that was me just thinking out loud.

Oh, no, don't go back on this now. I didn't sleep a wink last night.

Look, it's them. Yeah, you know how I know?

Because the alternative is batshit.

Well, you won't want to see this, then.

One of the letters we intercepted going into

the Wakefields' house. Sent a day before Cate as killed.

"Allein. Weh, ganz allein."

It's German. "Alone, alas, all alone."

It's from an opera. Elektra.

By Richard Strauss. Thank you, Google.

Has Barney seen it?

He said, "Well, families get sent weird shit."

He's right.

Yeah, but they're usually just straight-up abusive,

not cryptic like this.

Er, just check it against Mia and Tomos's handwriting.

Look, I have to find this ransom money.

Listen, can I just, erm, grab a copy of that?

I'm heading over to the Wakefield's to ID Tomos.

May as well, er, run it past them.

BACKGROUND ANGRY VOICES

VOICES CONTINUE

Er...it's hard to...

He had a scarf around his mouth

and erm...

Which one of these is Tomos?

I can't tell you that.

Oh, of course. I know that it's one of them,

I'm just not sure exactly which.

No worries. Thank you, anyway.

About my money, Inspector...?

Mia and Tomos didn't have it

with them when I arrested them,

and it wasn't at their property.

So, we're assuming it's with an accomplice.

Well, whoever made that phone call... I said this,

didn't I? He didn't have an accent.

So even with whatever he used

to change his voice, he was English.

But look, at some point

the money will enter into circulation.

And when that happens, it gets flagged on our system,

and we can move in.

But you haven't actually charged Mia and Tomos with Cate's murder yet.

My colleague, Barney Crozier,

is leading the murder investigation.

They're putting a case together.

I expect they'll have some news pretty soon.

Just something I wanted to ask you about.

Erm... This was sent to you the day before Cate's murder.

"Alone, alas, all alone."

That's a quote, right?

Yeah, it's from Elektra, by Strauss.

Any idea why someone would send you a message like this?

No, none at all.

You sure?

You have no idea what it's alluding to?

No, which one would assume is

the whole point of a threatening letter.

I didn't say it was threatening.

Thanks for your time.

I barely know Arthur Wakefield. Not my circle at all.

Construction. Cement, dust. Labourers.

OK, so who does? Who can I talk to?

Don't you all go to the same club

and light cigars with £50 notes?

HE SCOFFS

You know, dress up a poor person as a fox and chase them through a forest?

Oh, you mean the Jersey Club.

Yes, that's exactly what we do. Wednesdays, after bingo.

OK, and Arthur's a member there too, yeah?

Great, thank you.

How, how's Kim?

You can ask her yourself. She'll be back for lunch later.

I've insisted she has her lunch here now.

Do you know what she usually has?

"A sandwich out of a machine."

She told me that. She said those words.

Well, I need to check this club out,

I need to speak to someone who knows Arthur.

Not looking like that, you won't.

I'm wearing a suit.
