00:00:00This stretch of the river can be unpredictable after so much rain.
00:00:11I suggest we've got to move on before it floods.
00:00:13Yeah, we could be standing on what was once the pilgrim route to Causton Abbey.
00:00:19Maybe. Today's the day, Becker.
00:00:22I might finally find the Thomas Beckett badge to complete my collection.
00:00:26That's a rare badge, Johnny.
00:00:28Let's pray to him here somewhere.
00:00:30The mudlarks are up to something at Hollybrook.
00:00:36Reckon they must have had a tip-off.
00:00:38Say no more, mate. Yeah, yeah. We'll meet you down there.
00:00:41Rufus, get that down your neck. We've got work to do.
00:00:43Gemma, get the van loaded up.
00:00:47Mudlarks are at Hollybrook.
00:00:49What about the bar?
00:00:50Well, Gary can cover for a couple of hours, but we need to get there now.
00:00:53You must be on to something.
00:00:54Dad, he's done it again.
00:01:04Hmm?
00:01:05Oh, not again, Paddy. That's the third time this afternoon. How much stuff have you got buried out there?
00:01:11Oh, sorry, Sarah. I couldn't stop it.
00:01:14Oh, never mind that now. I've got some exciting news.
00:01:16I have just been asked to do some local research for pastimes.
00:01:21The ancestry show?
00:01:22Yeah.
00:01:22They got in touch through the historical society.
00:01:24Are you going to be on TV?
00:01:25Well, it looks like it, yeah.
00:01:26And who's the subject?
00:01:28Oh, I'm sorry, darling, but it's a need-to-know basis only.
00:01:32But if you wouldn't mind clearing this mess up, I've got some work to do.
00:01:39Last time, okay? Or I'm calling the pound.
00:01:42Everything all right, Richard?
00:02:06Some ghastly ancestry show keeps calling me.
00:02:10Hannah's daughter is now a well-known actress, apparently.
00:02:13They want my help to find Jessica.
00:02:15As if I'd had the first idea.
00:02:20As if the day couldn't get any worse.
00:02:22This is a historical site of great interest of the Dean of Causton.
00:02:34We're here at his official invitation.
00:02:36Last time I heard, this stretch of the river is on Jacob Mitchell's land.
00:02:40It's nothing to do with the Dean.
00:02:41Nevertheless, your high-strength magnets can do untold damage.
00:02:45You have no business here.
00:02:46You're so sure about that, Rev?
00:02:48Call the police.
00:02:49We already know Johnny's a grass.
00:02:51You've probably called them already.
00:02:54If you're intent on being unreasonable, I suppose I can't stop you.
00:02:57Glad to see we're on the same page, Vicar.
00:02:59Good one, Gem.
00:03:01Let's get organised, lads.
00:03:05Damn cheek.
00:03:06Who do they think they are?
00:03:08We just have to do our best to avoid them.
00:03:11You just said them done.
00:03:14Ready, Gem?
00:03:15I was born ready.
00:03:16Hello, guys, and welcome back to the Midsommar Magneteers channel.
00:03:21And what a lovely day for it.
00:03:24I'm afraid this is the only family photograph my mother kept.
00:03:30Those are my grandparents with my mother Hannah, her sister Jessie, and their brother Richard.
00:03:36She was estranged from all of them.
00:03:38It's something she never talked about.
00:03:39So what made her change her mind?
00:03:43She knew she didn't have long left.
00:03:46Wanted to get her house in order before it was too late.
00:03:49But I could see how painful it was for her to go back there.
00:03:53Why is that?
00:03:55Jessie was her baby sister.
00:03:56The only member of her family she ever cared about.
00:03:59But she felt she had to cut off from all of them in order to survive.
00:04:03That's why I'm doing this, to honour Mum's dying wish.
00:04:09To find Jessie and tell her how much she loved her.
00:04:13And how guilty she felt for abandoning her.
00:04:16Well, all we know so far is that your family came from a village called Galsworthy in Midsommar.
00:04:22Okay.
00:04:23Your uncle still lives there, but he's reluctant to get involved.
00:04:28So, where do we go from here?
00:04:30To Galsworthy.
00:04:32Okay.
00:04:32So, I've booked us into the village pub and set up a meeting tomorrow with a local historian.
00:04:37Just ask her to see what she can come up with.
00:04:39And your uncle, I'll just keep trying.
00:04:41I don't want to upset him.
00:04:42It's a bit of a bolt from the blue.
00:04:44Yeah.
00:04:45Look, sometimes people, they just need a bit of a nudge.
00:04:50All he can say is no.
00:04:52If you insist on being here, the least you can do is stick to your own area.
00:05:18I'll go wherever I like.
00:05:20He's just trying to wind us up, Richard.
00:05:22Don't give him the satisfaction.
00:05:24Rufus used to be a friend.
00:05:26Can we all just try and be civil?
00:05:27You can't be civil with these barbarians.
00:05:30Hey!
00:05:32What the hell are you playing at?
00:05:34Sorry, mate.
00:05:35Didn't see you there.
00:05:36Is that right?
00:05:37Come on, then.
00:05:38Let's have it.
00:05:39See who comes off worse.
00:05:43Get off me!
00:05:44Richard.
00:05:46I need your expert opinion.
00:05:51My card.
00:05:53Looks like an ampulla from the Thomas Beckett shrine.
00:05:56That was in my bucket.
00:05:58Belongs to me.
00:05:59You only found it by chance.
00:06:01Lead isn't even magnetic.
00:06:03Finders keepers, Johnny boy.
00:06:04And by the way you're all looking at it,
00:06:06must be worth a bob or two.
00:06:08The ampulla and the Thomas Beckett badge are often found together.
00:06:11Where were you casting when you found him?
00:06:12And why would I tell you that?
00:06:14Might be loads more of them.
00:06:15Well, then I'll tell the police
00:06:16about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare.
00:06:20You're still out on license.
00:06:21Aren't you, Colt?
00:06:22They'll send you straight back.
00:06:24Johnny.
00:06:26I'll kill you first.
00:06:32You're worth it, Johnny.
00:06:33If it's here, you'll find it.
00:06:40Let's have a look.
00:06:41What do you think?
00:06:42No, no, no.
00:06:47Well, he's right.
00:06:48Here's Leigh.
00:06:48That's good.
00:06:59Richard?
00:07:01Look, don't open it!
00:07:02Oh.
00:07:03Oh, God.
00:07:06Oh.
00:07:06Oh.
00:07:06Oh.
00:07:10Oh.
00:07:37Oh.
00:07:38Oh.
00:07:38Oh, my God.
00:08:09Also known as a witch's jar, probably 17th century.
00:08:13Unopened, they were thought to protect against the spirits of evil.
00:08:17But if the seal was broken, the forces of evil were believed to be set free.
00:08:22So I've unleashed evil on myself.
00:08:25Oh, superstitious nonsense.
00:08:27It gets worse if the jar is open near water.
00:08:31It's said that the ghosts of the foreshore come back to life to take their victims with them.
00:08:38Don't listen to him, Johnny.
00:08:39No.
00:08:39Thanks for watching, guys.
00:08:45And if you haven't already, don't forget to like and subscribe.
00:08:47All merch available via the link.
00:08:49Happy magnetarian!
00:08:52Bye, then.
00:08:53See you tomorrow.
00:08:54Thinking of coming to the blessing of the river ceremony.
00:08:56I've seen the light at last.
00:08:58Now, that would be a miracle.
00:09:00But if there are blessings to be added, then why shouldn't we have some of them?
00:09:04Though it's you lot who need to get lucky.
00:09:06Not us.
00:09:07That's just out there.
00:09:08Don't ever get up in town.
00:09:10One can but hope.
00:09:12I'm heading back.
00:09:14Yeah, me too.
00:09:15I'm getting cold.
00:09:15I can give you a lift.
00:09:17Thanks, I'd rather walk.
00:09:19Johnny?
00:09:22William, shall I take the jar?
00:09:25Someone needs to report it.
00:09:28The jar?
00:09:28Yeah, yeah.
00:09:29That'd be much appreciated.
00:09:31William, is there something wrong?
00:09:37No, no.
00:09:38Everything's fine.
00:09:39No, no.
00:09:48I'm not.
00:09:51I am gonna get to my mother.
00:09:53UST-UP
00:10:06UST-UP
00:10:10UST-UP
00:10:12UST-UP
00:10:15UST-UP
00:10:21Yeah, thanks for letting me know, Jacob.
00:10:34Yeah, yeah, of course, of course.
00:10:35I'll make sure everyone's aware.
00:10:37Okay.
00:10:37Bye.
00:10:39Damn.
00:10:42Salmon.
00:10:44Alice!
00:10:51I'm going to find out, Mom.
00:10:59I promise.
00:11:21Hello?
00:11:34Oh, hello.
00:11:36What?
00:11:38What?
00:11:39Are you sure about that?
00:11:42No, oh, no, no.
00:11:43Hold on a second.
00:11:44I just need to write this down.
00:11:46Hang on.
00:11:47Yeah.
00:11:51No.
00:12:21Help, help, somebody, help me, please.
00:12:51Every burning down, grace our spirits will deliver, and provide us a robe and crown.
00:13:02Yes, we will gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river.
00:13:10Gather with the saints at the river, that flows by the throne of God.
00:13:18Morning, vicar!
00:13:21You see that look? He's really not happy.
00:13:25Judge not, lest ye be judged. Isn't that what the Bible says?
00:13:30Yeah, but the man's a hypocrite. Preaches one thing, does the opposite.
00:13:36Well, at least he's not a Judas, like Johnny.
00:13:40I'm talking to Johnny. Where is he?
00:13:43Right, we've made our point. Let's go to the pub.
00:13:46Rihanna? Bless him, won't do any of us any harm. Especially you, Cole.
00:13:52Gracious God, we pray for all those poor souls lost to our rivers and waterways,
00:13:59who these flowers represent.
00:14:02In Christianity, water can symbolize both life and death,
00:14:07and as a central symbol in the Sacrament of Baptism, a moment of spiritual purification.
00:14:21Ah, morning, Jamie.
00:14:32John will be down in a sec.
00:14:33Thanks.
00:14:35Oh, you're looking very glamorous for a school day.
00:14:37Ah, but it's not a school day, Winter. Far from it.
00:14:40Mum's going to be on TV.
00:14:42Oh, that's exciting. What's the show?
00:14:43Uh, pastimes.
00:14:44They've asked me to advise on some local history.
00:14:47I just hope mixing with the glitterati doesn't turn your head.
00:14:50It'll be Hollywood next, sir.
00:14:51Oh, quite fancy a life of sun-surfing celebrity drama.
00:14:55What do you think?
00:14:56You give any film star a run for her money.
00:14:59No, I don't know about that, but thank you.
00:15:01Right, sir, time we left for our decidedly unglamorous day job.
00:15:04Oh, I don't know.
00:15:04There's always the potential for a bit of real-life drama.
00:15:07Can you get your stuff to go straight?
00:15:08Careful what you wish for, sir.
00:15:09DCI Barnaby.
00:15:20Good morning.
00:15:22Not so good for our victim.
00:15:24Cause of death?
00:15:25Drowning.
00:15:26And by the look of him, I reckon he'd been in the water no longer than 24 hours.
00:15:30There have been reports of a sinkhole in the stretch of river, and sinkholes combined with
00:15:37silt can be a particularly dangerous domination.
00:15:40So no evidence of foul play?
00:15:41Not obviously.
00:15:43Then, um, what am I doing here?
00:15:46According to witnesses on the scene, the victim was a local man, last seen alive yesterday evening.
00:15:51His jacket was found along with a bag containing a phone, a wallet and a notebook.
00:15:55They confirmed his identity as a Jonathan David Hoxham.
00:15:59This was found in the pocket.
00:16:04Memento mori is Latin.
00:16:06It means remember that you have to die.
00:16:09Who knew Winter could speak Latin?
00:16:12You're wasted as a plod.
00:16:13I'm not a...
00:16:14I'm a detective.
00:16:16Detective Sergeant.
00:16:17Sir?
00:16:17It's so easy to wind up.
00:16:19It's delicious.
00:16:20If we could possibly get back to the matter at hand.
00:16:23I won't know any more until I've done the post-wortum.
00:16:26I'll be in touch.
00:16:31So our victim had a reminder of the inevitability of death and then turns up drowned.
00:16:37Hmm.
00:16:38Why did he come here?
00:16:40Was he meeting someone?
00:16:41Digital forensics trying to unlock his phone.
00:16:44Where exactly was the body found?
00:16:46Into the jetty, sir.
00:16:48Reverend William Gideon was conducting a river blessing when his wife saw the body in the water.
00:16:53He and his mudlarking group were here yesterday afternoon.
00:16:57Johnny Hoxham was a keen member.
00:16:59According to Mrs. Gideon, there was another mudlarking group here at the same time, but they left before he did.
00:17:04Were the Gideons that asked people to see Mr. Hoxham alive?
00:17:07Yeah.
00:17:08Said he was going home and left alone.
00:17:10Mrs. Gideon can't understand why he came back.
00:17:11Well, let's talk to both groups.
00:17:15Find out if anything happened yesterday that might, um, shed some light.
00:17:19Sorry.
00:17:19Dan Peasey, Gemstone Television.
00:17:43We're here to see Richard Clissold.
00:17:45So he's expecting you?
00:17:47Absolutely.
00:17:48He's not back yet.
00:17:50We're happy to wait.
00:17:58Johnny Hoxham was a devout member of the St. Leonard's family and a passionate member of the Midsommar Mudlarks.
00:18:04His loss is a tragedy for the whole village community.
00:18:07Did Mr. Hoxham have any enemies?
00:18:10But it was an accident, surely.
00:18:12Yeah, we have to keep an open mind at this stage, Mrs. Gideon.
00:18:17I understand you were the last people to see Mr. Hoxham.
00:18:20Well, technically, that was William.
00:18:22I started walking home while they were still at the river.
00:18:25Yeah, Johnny left soon after.
00:18:27And Richard Clissold was offered him a lift earlier, but he declined.
00:18:31And Richard Clissold is?
00:18:32He's a fellow Mudlark and an old family friend.
00:18:35I took over the ministry when his father retired.
00:18:40Did anything happen at the river that could have upset Mr. Hoxham?
00:18:44Uh, new research suggested that there could have been a pilgrim hostel near Holybrook.
00:18:54Johnny was hoping to find a rare Thomas Beckett badge to complete his collection.
00:18:58Then an ampulla badge was found by Cole Densmore, a member of the Midsommar Magneteers, another mudlarking group in the area.
00:19:05The ampulla and Thomas Beckett badge are often found together, so Johnny got excited that he might find one in the same location.
00:19:14But Cole refused to tell him exactly where he found it.
00:19:17In fact, Cole seemed to be enjoying taunting him, but that wasn't unusual.
00:19:23What do you mean?
00:19:24Well, the Mudlarks are keen historians and ecologists.
00:19:27We research respectfully for evidence of the past in order to build collections of local historical importance.
00:19:33And the Midsommar Magneteers?
00:19:36Well, they use heavy, high-strength magnets to amass large quantities of metal for cash.
00:19:42Their gung-ho attitude causes untold damage to the environment.
00:19:46Which is a source of conflict?
00:19:49Yeah, unfortunately, yes.
00:19:51There was something else.
00:19:53Johnny found a rare Wiccan jar in the river.
00:19:56Witches' what, exactly?
00:19:58A sealed 17th-century witch's jar, believed to curse whoever opens it.
00:20:04Sadly, that was Johnny.
00:20:07Yeah, as a Christian, I abhor superstition, but...
00:20:11It's an unfortunate coincidence that Johnny died later that day.
00:20:16Where is this jar now?
00:20:18Richard took it with him.
00:20:20Significant artefacts need to be registered.
00:20:23Where might I find him?
00:20:25They're waiting in the sitting room.
00:20:37What on earth are they doing here?
00:20:38They said you were expecting them.
00:20:40I didn't know what to do.
00:20:42Go home, Mary.
00:20:44I'll deal with this.
00:20:45Mr. Clisold.
00:20:51I thought I made myself perfectly clear.
00:20:53We were in the area, and your niece was very keen to meet you.
00:20:59Uncle Richard.
00:21:00I'm Lucy.
00:21:03Hannah's daughter.
00:21:06Fine.
00:21:07I'll answer your questions.
00:21:09But under no circumstances will I appear on your television programme.
00:21:13Is that understood?
00:21:14Perfectly.
00:21:18These bills need paying today.
00:21:21It's all under control, Gem.
00:21:22I can't tax on his way.
00:21:24What if you get caught?
00:21:25Things are getting out of hand.
00:21:27Fine.
00:21:28Mr and Mrs Westcott.
00:21:29DS Winter.
00:21:30Causton CID.
00:21:32What can we do for you?
00:21:33Body was found in the river this morning.
00:21:35I know.
00:21:35I was there.
00:21:36No one knew what was going on.
00:21:37He's now been formally identified as Johnny Hoxham.
00:21:40He drowned near where you were mudlarking yesterday afternoon.
00:21:42Johnny, but why would he go back in there after the warning?
00:21:46What warning?
00:21:47I got a call from Jacob Mitchell.
00:21:48He farms the land around Hollybrook.
00:21:50One of his lads had seen us heading down there.
00:21:53Jacob's lost sheep to a sinkhole in the river,
00:21:55and he wanted us to know exactly where it was.
00:21:57So I put an alert on the magnateer's chat.
00:22:00Did you share that information with the mudlarks?
00:22:01I didn't have to.
00:22:03Jacob said he'd already told the vicar.
00:22:06We understand that there's some unfriendly rivalry
00:22:09between you and the mudlarks.
00:22:10Was there any friction at Hollybrook?
00:22:12Just the usual sparring banter.
00:22:16I see you've got your own channel.
00:22:18Over 5,000 followers now.
00:22:21Did you film any content yesterday?
00:22:23Yeah, but nothing interesting.
00:22:26I'll still need to see it.
00:22:28It's so strange.
00:22:30My mother grew up in this beautiful house,
00:22:33but I had no idea it even existed until yesterday.
00:22:36Unfortunately, your mother rejected our family
00:22:38in the most hurtful and destructive way.
00:22:41Jessica always admired her, so followed suit.
00:22:43How can you be sure Jessica didn't want to come back?
00:22:47She left a note making herself very clear.
00:22:50My father kept it.
00:22:54In case there was ever any doubt.
00:23:01As you can see, she despised us
00:23:03and everything we stood for
00:23:04and states quite clearly
00:23:05she wishes no one to come after her.
00:23:08Leo.
00:23:08Yeah.
00:23:10But the letter is signed Leo.
00:23:12She saw herself as a lion,
00:23:14caged here against her will.
00:23:16Calling herself Leo was another way
00:23:18of further distancing herself from us.
00:23:20Is it okay if I photograph it?
00:23:22No, it is not.
00:23:24Did your parents notify the police when she left?
00:23:27My father was obliged to report it,
00:23:29but since there were no suspicious circumstances,
00:23:31that was the end of it.
00:23:33And they never tried to contact her?
00:23:36My parents had to draw a line.
00:23:40We had to get on with our own lives.
00:23:42What exactly happened the night she left?
00:23:45If you'll excuse me,
00:23:47I need to talk to a police officer
00:23:48about the tragic death of a friend.
00:23:50I'm so sorry, but thank you for seeing us.
00:23:53I'd love to talk more if...
00:23:55There's nothing more to say.
00:23:57Forgive my scepticism,
00:23:58but you're clearly just doing this
00:23:59to increase your celebrity profile.
00:24:01I want no part in it.
00:24:03DCI Barnaby, do come in.
00:24:05They're just leaving.
00:24:22The art of mudlarking lies in the ability
00:24:24to spot things invisible to others.
00:24:27What we call getting your eye in.
00:24:30The mistake is in looking too hard.
00:24:32Very much like my own job.
00:24:35How well did you know Mr. Hoxham?
00:24:38We were more colleagues than friends,
00:24:41both fascinated by the history
00:24:42attached to objects we found.
00:24:45I understand there was some conflict
00:24:47between the two mudlarking groups yesterday afternoon.
00:24:51Did any of that involve Mr. Hoxham specifically?
00:24:55Not that I'm aware of.
00:24:58Reverend Gideon told us about the discovery
00:25:00of the Wiccan jar.
00:25:02I believe you have it.
00:25:03Why, yes.
00:25:04The jar.
00:25:04Here it is.
00:25:14Not very pleasant, I'm afraid.
00:25:17I've reported it to the Portable Antiquity Scheme.
00:25:19They'll be taking it off my hands.
00:25:21Could it have been deliberately placed
00:25:24for Mr. Hoxham to find as a warning of some kind?
00:25:28Highly unlikely.
00:25:29It's clear Johnny saw it as a bad omen.
00:25:33Which makes it all the more puzzling
00:25:35why he should choose to return.
00:25:53There's a history of rivalry and antagonism
00:25:57between the mudlarks and the magneteers.
00:25:59But apart from the discovery of the Wiccan jar,
00:26:03both sides seem to agree
00:26:04nothing unusual happened yesterday.
00:26:06I'm not sure they're being entirely honest, sir.
00:26:09This footage was downloaded
00:26:11from Gemma Westcott's phone.
00:26:12It was intended as content
00:26:14for the magneteers' channel.
00:26:16Where were you castling when you found it?
00:26:18Why would I tell you that?
00:26:19Might be loads more of them.
00:26:20Well, then I'll tell the police
00:26:22about the old gun you found in the lake
00:26:23and didn't declare.
00:26:25You're still out on license.
00:26:26Aren't you, Cole?
00:26:27They'll send you straight back.
00:26:31I'll kill you first.
00:26:36This was witnessed by both groups.
00:26:38Why didn't anyone mention it?
00:26:39Oh, Mrs. Gideon said that
00:26:41Cole enjoyed taunting Johnny,
00:26:44so it's possible nobody took it seriously.
00:26:46We need to talk to Cole Densmore.
00:26:48And there's another thing.
00:26:49Freddie Westcott said that a local farmer
00:26:51called him to warn him about the sinkhole.
00:26:53When was this?
00:26:54After they got back from the river.
00:26:55Freddie said that he circulated it
00:26:57on the magneteers' chat.
00:26:59Claimed that the farmer made the same call
00:27:00to Reverend Gideon.
00:27:01You didn't say anything to me.
00:27:03Oh, yeah.
00:27:04And finally...
00:27:08Digital managed to access
00:27:09Johnny Hoxham's cloud.
00:27:11Someone called him at 1834.
00:27:14And then, according to his notebook,
00:27:1727 minutes later,
00:27:19he was back at the river.
00:27:21Whoever called Johnny told him
00:27:22that they'd seen a Thomas Beckett badge
00:27:25and pinpointed its exact location.
00:27:27Is the number traceable?
00:27:28It was from an old phone box in the village.
00:27:32So,
00:27:33Johnny Hoxham
00:27:35was deliberately lured to his death.
00:27:38Hmm.
00:27:43This...
00:27:43This is great.
00:27:44Do you have any information
00:27:45on Jessie specifically,
00:27:47apart from the birth certificate?
00:27:48Well, her leaving was reported
00:27:50in the local press.
00:27:52Oh, wow.
00:27:53As vicar of Galsworthy,
00:27:55your grandfather was a powerful
00:27:56and highly respected figure
00:27:58in the village.
00:27:59Jessie's decision to leave
00:28:00so soon after your mother's disappearance
00:28:01was of great interest
00:28:03to the community.
00:28:03According to this article,
00:28:06she caught the London train
00:28:07at 7.35pm
00:28:09on Wednesday, the 14th of May.
00:28:11She left with her bike
00:28:12and whatever she could fit
00:28:13into her panniers,
00:28:14as witnessed by Mary Hamble,
00:28:15the housekeeper's daughter.
00:28:17Sources close to the family
00:28:18confirmed that Miss Clisold
00:28:19had threatened to leave before.
00:28:21A note was found
00:28:22leaving them in no doubt
00:28:23that she left of her own free will.
00:28:25Richard Clisold still has it.
00:28:27Oh.
00:28:29And after she left...
00:28:31Well, the trail goes cold,
00:28:33I'm afraid.
00:28:34If Jessie changed her name
00:28:35or she left the country,
00:28:37it could be very difficult
00:28:38to trace her.
00:28:39I'll get our team
00:28:40to look into it.
00:28:41What about friends?
00:28:42She may have stayed in touch
00:28:43with someone outside the family.
00:28:45Well, I can find out
00:28:46which school she attended
00:28:47and take it from there.
00:28:48And Mary Hamble,
00:28:50she might be able to help you.
00:28:51She was a similar age
00:28:52and knew the family.
00:28:54Yeah, we met her briefly earlier.
00:28:56She, um,
00:28:57she cleans for Richard Clisold.
00:28:58And I think she still lives
00:29:00at this address.
00:29:03Oh, this is...
00:29:05No, you don't.
00:29:06Yeah.
00:29:07DCI Barnaby has a few more questions,
00:29:09William.
00:29:10The church flowers
00:29:11are all done, Alice,
00:29:12so I'll leave you to it.
00:29:17I'm sorry to disturb you
00:29:19again so soon.
00:29:20This is my colleague,
00:29:21DS Winter.
00:29:22Yeah, of course.
00:29:23I need some help.
00:29:24We understand you received
00:29:27a warning about the sinkhole
00:29:29from a local farmer,
00:29:30Jacob Mitchell.
00:29:31You failed to share this warning
00:29:33with other members of your group.
00:29:36You also failed to share it with me.
00:29:39Yeah, I'm ashamed to say that's true.
00:29:41Um, you know,
00:29:43when Jacob rang,
00:29:44I was, I was writing my sermon
00:29:45for the river blessing
00:29:46and I hung up
00:29:48clumsily spilling tea everywhere
00:29:49so I'm afraid
00:29:51the call won't clean
00:29:52out of my mind.
00:29:52Freddie Westcott received
00:29:53the same warning
00:29:54and immediately circulated
00:29:55amongst the magneteers.
00:29:57If you'd done that,
00:29:58Johnny Hoxham
00:29:58might be alive now.
00:30:01Yeah, which, uh...
00:30:03which I regret
00:30:05to the end of my days.
00:30:07But it, it didn't occur to me
00:30:09that anyone would return
00:30:10to the river that night.
00:30:12So, which is it?
00:30:14Did you forget
00:30:14or did you think
00:30:16no one would return
00:30:17to the river?
00:30:18Johnny wasn't the only one there.
00:30:21When I was walking home,
00:30:22I saw Cole Densmore
00:30:23on the opposite bank
00:30:24heading back towards Hollybrook.
00:30:34We need to talk to Cole Densmore.
00:30:36At the very least,
00:30:37he could be an important witness.
00:30:39Unless William Gideon
00:30:40used the farmer's warning
00:30:41to near Johnny Hoxham
00:30:43to his death.
00:30:44And Mrs. Gideon's statement
00:30:45is just a lie to protect him.
00:30:47Her sudden recollection
00:30:47is rather convenient.
00:30:49But why would Reverend Gideon
00:30:51want Johnny Hoxham dead?
00:30:54Hmm.
00:30:54No idea.
00:30:56Cole Densmore's still
00:30:57their only suspect
00:30:58with a motive,
00:30:59but he hasn't responded
00:31:00to any of our calls
00:31:01requesting an interview.
00:31:03Then Muhammad
00:31:03will have to go
00:31:04to the mountain.
00:31:10Mrs. Hamble.
00:31:19I don't like being lied to.
00:31:21I understand.
00:31:21If you could just give us
00:31:22five minutes,
00:31:22we can explain.
00:31:24You knew my Aunt Jessie.
00:31:26We're the last person
00:31:27to see her.
00:31:28I made my statement
00:31:28at the time.
00:31:29It's all on record.
00:31:31There's nothing more to say.
00:31:32Yes.
00:31:32Mrs. Hamble, if you...
00:31:33My loyalty is to the family
00:31:34that stayed,
00:31:35not to those that walked away.
00:31:37And I certainly don't approve
00:31:39of raking all this up again
00:31:40for a TV show.
00:31:57Time for a little fire, Bobby.
00:32:01Turns out Cole Densmore
00:32:02is Goldsworthy's resident bad boy.
00:32:04Currently out on license
00:32:06for theft.
00:32:07Get off my property
00:32:10before I call the cops.
00:32:11Yeah.
00:32:12We are the cops,
00:32:15Mr. Densmore.
00:32:18I'm not talking out here,
00:32:19so you better come in.
00:32:22But I'm not making tea.
00:32:23I assume you've got a license
00:32:37for that rather antiquated firearm.
00:32:39Don't need one.
00:32:41Got a collector
00:32:41who's going to take it
00:32:42off my hands.
00:32:43Yeah, it still needs
00:32:43to be registered,
00:32:44as I'm sure you're aware.
00:32:45But it's an antique.
00:32:46It's been underwater
00:32:47for years.
00:32:48There are rules,
00:32:49Mr. Densmore.
00:32:49Oh, okay.
00:32:50I'll report it
00:32:51if it'll get you off my back.
00:32:53What do you really want?
00:32:55I understand he had
00:32:56an altercation
00:32:57with Johnny Hoxham
00:32:58just hours before he died.
00:33:00That was just banter.
00:33:02It looked like a bit more
00:33:03than that from the footage
00:33:04we saw.
00:33:05If you'd like me
00:33:05to refresh your memory.
00:33:06Okay.
00:33:08So I wouldn't give him
00:33:09the ampulla
00:33:09for his epoxy collection.
00:33:11Why should I?
00:33:12I know he could get
00:33:13decent money for it.
00:33:14You threatened to kill him,
00:33:15Mr. Densmore.
00:33:16But I didn't.
00:33:19Does the expression
00:33:21memento mori
00:33:22mean anything to you?
00:33:26The river isn't far from here.
00:33:27Did you go back there
00:33:28after everyone left?
00:33:29No.
00:33:29Why would I?
00:33:30We have a witness
00:33:31who claims that
00:33:32they saw you
00:33:34on this side of the river
00:33:35heading towards
00:33:36Hollybrook.
00:33:37And they need to get
00:33:38their eyes tested.
00:33:40And if you're looking
00:33:40for someone with real beef
00:33:41with Johnny,
00:33:42talk to Rufus Coulter.
00:33:44He was a mudlark
00:33:45until Johnny grasped him
00:33:46up for not reporting
00:33:47any of the stuff he found.
00:33:49What happened?
00:33:50The vicar threw him
00:33:50out in his ear
00:33:51after God knows
00:33:52how many years.
00:33:54Rufus never forgave
00:33:55Johnny for that.
00:33:56So he joined
00:33:57the magneteers?
00:33:59He's a hoarder.
00:34:00Total weirdo.
00:34:02But they'll take anyone.
00:34:03So it seems.
00:34:07We'll be in touch,
00:34:08Mr. Densmore.
00:34:11Of you, sir.
00:34:24If you hear the police
00:34:25have been up here,
00:34:26don't panic, okay?
00:34:28They've got nothing on me.
00:34:29I suppose those tears
00:34:41are for Johnny.
00:34:43Of course they are.
00:34:45He was a good friend.
00:34:47Yeah, the way you were
00:34:48together made that
00:34:48perfectly clear.
00:34:49Oh, William, please,
00:34:50not this again.
00:34:52I cared about him.
00:34:53That's all.
00:34:55Just wish you cared
00:34:56about me like that.
00:35:01Not sure you have had.
00:35:08I know who your celebrity is.
00:35:11We crossed paths earlier.
00:35:14Anything to do
00:35:14with your murder investigation?
00:35:17Sorry.
00:35:18Strictly need-to-know basis.
00:35:19It is intriguing, though,
00:35:22isn't it?
00:35:23Our paths crossing
00:35:25professionally like this.
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:27Investigating the same case
00:35:28from very different angles.
00:35:31We could both end up
00:35:33on telly at this rate.
00:35:34No.
00:35:35My show will only get made
00:35:36if the story has enough layers
00:35:38to keep the viewers intrigued.
00:35:40Which, unless there's
00:35:41a massive plot twist,
00:35:42is looking very unlikely.
00:35:44Hmm.
00:35:44In my experience,
00:35:45that can happen
00:35:46when you least expect it.
00:35:49What exactly was found?
00:36:10It's the hilt of a sword
00:36:11past the 8th century.
00:36:13Oh, there was an
00:36:13Anglo-Saxon settlement
00:36:14in this area,
00:36:15so potentially very exciting.
00:36:17But should we really be...
00:36:18out so soon like barking?
00:36:21It's what Johnny
00:36:22would have wanted.
00:36:23If we find something special,
00:36:24we can make sure
00:36:25it's dedicated to his memory.
00:36:26Yeah, and as Sir Henry's
00:36:27given us exclusive rights
00:36:29to investigate...
00:36:29Adjusting time for a team picker!
00:36:35Leave now,
00:36:36or I will call the police.
00:36:38Oh, that's not very nice, Reverend.
00:36:40This is private land,
00:36:41and you don't have
00:36:42permission to be here.
00:36:43Says who?
00:36:44Sir Henry's gamekeeper's
00:36:45one of our regulars.
00:36:47Did it with his boss
00:36:48for us to check it out?
00:36:49He said we might find
00:36:50some Anglo-Saxon gold.
00:36:52Gold isn't magnetic,
00:36:54so you're wasting your time.
00:36:56Anglo-Saxons were con artists.
00:36:59Made coins that
00:37:00looked like gold,
00:37:01but were mostly
00:37:02bog-standard...
00:37:04metal.
00:37:05Still worth a bob or two.
00:37:07You should know that, Dickie,
00:37:08being an historian.
00:37:11Any news on
00:37:12who killed poor old Johnny?
00:37:13Last we heard,
00:37:15they were questioning you, Vicar.
00:37:16I've been to see you twice,
00:37:18I believe.
00:37:21If you're implying
00:37:22I had something to do with it...
00:37:23William,
00:37:24let it go.
00:37:25Hasn't there been
00:37:26enough trouble?
00:37:29Let's start on the foreshore.
00:37:31Sorry to keep you.
00:37:40Couldn't get Paddy in
00:37:41from the garden.
00:37:41He's become obsessed
00:37:42with digging.
00:37:43Oh.
00:37:44I can see that.
00:37:47Any developments
00:37:47I should know about?
00:37:49Cole Densmore's phone
00:37:50places him home
00:37:51all evening.
00:37:51Just because his phone
00:37:53was there,
00:37:53it doesn't mean he was.
00:37:54No, but the background
00:37:55check on Rufus Coulter
00:37:56is much more interesting.
00:37:57Johnny Hoxham
00:37:58lodged an official
00:37:59complaint against him.
00:38:00Accusing him of what?
00:38:01Harassment.
00:38:02He'd been receiving
00:38:03anonymous hate mail.
00:38:05He suspected Rufus Coulter,
00:38:06but nothing was ever proved.
00:38:09Here,
00:38:10some examples.
00:38:16Rufus Coulter
00:38:17blamed Johnny Hoxham
00:38:19for shaming him
00:38:21within the mud larking
00:38:22community he loved.
00:38:23The question is,
00:38:26how far would he go
00:38:27to exact revenge?
00:38:31Ken?
00:38:32Ken, make sure
00:38:33you're getting this.
00:38:34Cole,
00:38:34get over here.
00:38:35Cole.
00:38:38Oh,
00:38:38this is Anglo-Saxon gold.
00:38:40We're billionaires.
00:38:40Yeah.
00:38:41Oh.
00:38:45Oh.
00:38:50Oh.
00:38:51For a bloody bite
00:38:54this week.
00:38:55Take it to scrap,
00:38:56Cole.
00:38:56It's rusted to hell.
00:39:01Never mind,
00:39:02love.
00:39:03I'll make a CT.
00:39:16Where are you going,
00:39:16mate?
00:39:17Home.
00:39:18Not that it's
00:39:18any business of yours.
00:39:21Weirder.
00:39:25Hi.
00:39:27Richard?
00:39:32What is it?
00:39:37Richard?
00:39:39That bicycle?
00:39:41I think it's Jesse's.
00:39:43Quiet,
00:40:07it's unbelievable.
00:40:12How can anyone live in there?
00:40:14Hopefully we'll find out.
00:40:21Mr. Coulter, it's the police!
00:40:23Just a minute!
00:40:28Bobby, come back here now.
00:40:32He'll come home when he's hungry.
00:40:33Sorry to keep you.
00:40:35It's my heart that slows me down.
00:40:39Come through.
00:40:42What's this all about then?
00:40:50We understand that you and, um, Mr. Hoxton
00:40:54were involved in an ongoing feud.
00:40:56And you're putting two and two together
00:40:58and thinking I killed him?
00:41:00Well, no-one said that, Mr. Coulter.
00:41:02Good.
00:41:03Because like I said, I've got heart problems.
00:41:07Ask my doctor.
00:41:09I'm not capable of hurting anyone.
00:41:12But Mr. Hoxton believed you were capable of seeking revenge
00:41:15by sending anonymous notes designed to frighten him.
00:41:19The man was deluded.
00:41:21Nothing was ever proved.
00:41:23Well, this was found at the scene in Mr. Hoxton's jacket.
00:41:27Doesn't mean it's from me, does it?
00:41:29You knew about the sinkhole from the magnateer's chat group.
00:41:33So did everyone else.
00:41:35So why pick on me?
00:41:39The last call that Mr. Hoxton received was from a phone box.
00:41:42Was that you, Mr. Coulter?
00:41:44No.
00:41:45So you're wasting your time?
00:41:56I'd like you to go now.
00:41:58I need to rest.
00:41:59I can't handle the stress.
00:42:01Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:42:04I've told you everything I know.
00:42:06I'll just... I'll just leave it there.
00:42:09You can see yourselves out.
00:42:11Come on, Vicar. Pick up. Please.
00:42:41Freddie, babe. What are you up to?
00:42:44This little beauty is an Anglo-Saxon figurine.
00:42:47Extremely rare, apparently.
00:42:49You're gonna have to declare it.
00:42:50We're... we're already in way too deep.
00:42:53It'll be fine, babe.
00:42:54We just need to hold our nerve.
00:43:02Production want me back in London.
00:43:04Look, it's okay. I can, um...
00:43:06I'll get the team to check out whether Jessie,
00:43:08you know, changed her identity or moved abroad.
00:43:10And if that doesn't work,
00:43:12we can look into other members of your family
00:43:13and see where that takes us.
00:43:17Finding Jessie's the only reason I agreed to do this.
00:43:20And I'm not ready to give up yet.
00:43:24Okay.
00:43:40Oh, Vicar. Thank God you're there now.
00:43:55I really need your help.
00:43:56I-I-I called Freddie, but the police don't trust him.
00:44:10You're...
00:44:11You're the only one I can turn to.
00:44:27Hi.
00:44:29Um, I'd like to stay another night, if that's okay.
00:44:31Oh, no problem.
00:44:32Um, I meant to ask you.
00:44:34Um, I heard you talking about Jessie Clissolt.
00:44:37She's my aunt.
00:44:39People seem to think we found our old bike this morning
00:44:43in the river on the estate.
00:44:46But that's not possible.
00:44:48Maybe they got it wrong.
00:44:49Just what I'd say.
00:44:51Yes, of course.
00:45:04Vicar.
00:45:06Thank God.
00:45:09I'm in the kitchen.
00:45:13Vicar?
00:45:14Vicar.
00:45:21So, Jessie went to Everglade House.
00:45:23It was a Catholic school for what used to be called troubled girls.
00:45:27I'm still trying to get a hold of the old school role,
00:45:29but I did manage to find this.
00:45:32It's a copy of her last school report.
00:45:34Oh, wow.
00:45:38Jessica is extremely intelligent,
00:45:40but her rebellious nature makes her stubborn and hard to control.
00:45:45She sounds just like Mum.
00:45:48Oh, that's all I have so far.
00:45:49Any developments your end?
00:45:52Yeah.
00:45:54A bike was found in the river today.
00:45:56People believe it could be Jessie's,
00:45:58but that doesn't make any sense.
00:46:01Can you ask your Uncle Richard about it?
00:46:04He made it very clear that the door was closed,
00:46:07but I refuse to give up hope.
00:46:10Well, with or without him,
00:46:11we're getting closer.
00:46:41Is it a coincidence that a suspect in Johnny Hoxham's murder
00:46:45is now a victim himself?
00:46:47Statistics would say no.
00:46:49Let's find out.
00:46:51Reverend Gideon,
00:46:53we understand that you raised the alarm.
00:46:56Yes, Rufus called me.
00:46:58Sounded dreadful.
00:47:00Although we had our differences,
00:47:02he wanted my help.
00:47:04Did he say why?
00:47:06The magnateers pulled a bike out of the river this morning,
00:47:10and Richard Plissot recognised it.
00:47:13He said it belonged to his younger sister Jessie.
00:47:16I'm sure of it.
00:47:18Why is that significant?
00:47:19Well, it was the bike that Jessie was meant to have left with.
00:47:23According to Richard, her bike had a pair of tartan panniers,
00:47:27and when it was pulled out of the river, only one remained.
00:47:31Rufus told me that he'd found the other pannier
00:47:35in exactly the same part of the river over 30 years ago.
00:47:37Which would be ten years after Jessie left the village?
00:47:41Yeah, yeah, I believe so.
00:47:43Why would Mr. Coulter be interested in an old bike pannier?
00:47:47Well, Rufus, he collected everything, but this time he got lucky.
00:47:52Inside the pannier, he said he'd found a necklace.
00:47:56How's that relevant?
00:47:58Um, you were already questioning him about Johnny's murder,
00:48:01and he worried that if it was found in his possession
00:48:06it could connect him to whatever happened to Jessie,
00:48:09that he'd be accused of killing her too.
00:48:12So he asked me to take it.
00:48:14And where has the necklace been all this time?
00:48:17His gallery.
00:48:19His gallery? What does that mean?
00:48:21I have no idea.
00:48:23He promised to tell me everything when I came to the house,
00:48:27but I was too late.
00:48:31And where is the necklace now?
00:48:34Rufus said he brought it up from storage,
00:48:37but I couldn't see it anywhere.
00:48:49Breathe in, gents.
00:48:51It's a bit of a squeeze.
00:48:53You mentioned cardiac issues. Is that what killed him?
00:48:56An arrest has no visible signs, so we'll have to wait for the PM,
00:48:59but I'm concerned that the pile that crushed him was deliberately destabilised.
00:49:06I just need to prove it.
00:49:08So all those equations, of all?
00:49:11It's all about angles, Winter.
00:49:13I once had a lover who was a champion skier.
00:49:17Of course you did.
00:49:18We went off-piste in San Maritz and discovered a man who supposedly had fallen to his death.
00:49:26I knew immediately it was foul play.
00:49:29How?
00:49:31It's called The Physics of a Fall, based on analysis of the trajectory and impact site, angles, laws of motion.
00:49:40Then you can calculate all of that with a tape measure.
00:49:44Laser distance meter.
00:49:47I'm not that much of a Luddite, Winter.
00:49:50What happened to your relationship with the spear?
00:49:53I'm afraid that all went rapidly downhill.
00:49:57Nice abs, but dreadfully dull.
00:50:00I moved on with a handsome snowboarder.
00:50:05Not a clue that he was a senior member of the royal family.
00:50:08Who was it?
00:50:09They made me sign an NDA, I'm afraid.
00:50:12But it'll all be in my memoirs.
00:50:14She never ceases to amaze.
00:50:24Sir, Rufus Colter told William Gideon that he brought the necklace up from storage.
00:50:30But up from where?
00:50:32It could be an outbuilding or garage further down the hill.
00:50:37Yeah, or...
00:50:38A cellar.
00:50:43A cellar.
00:50:53A cellar.
00:50:58Well done, Winter.
00:51:00Down you go.
00:51:02Oh...
00:51:08I think we found Rufus Colter's gallery, sir.
00:51:31Classic serial killer behaviour, sir.
00:51:33Trophies kept to symbolise the killer's conquest over their victims.
00:51:36Could Jesse Clisold be one of them?
00:51:39Fleur's trying to ID the recovered body parts from their DNA.
00:51:43That's a long shot, but we might get lucky.
00:51:45We seized the bite that the magneteers pulled from the river.
00:51:49The contents of the pannier confirmed that it belonged to Jesse Clisold.
00:51:52Anything of interest?
00:51:54An ID with her purse, some cash, and some degraded items of clothing.
00:52:00She clearly intended to leave that day.
00:52:01Richard Clisold said that his family reported Jesse's disappearance to the police.
00:52:07See if there's any evidence of that in the archive, sir.
00:52:14Any news on the missing necklace?
00:52:16Our team is still searching the property for it.
00:52:18I don't envy them sifting through that lot.
00:52:20If, as we now believe, that Rufus Colter went down to his cellar to retrieve the necklace,
00:52:28then why wasn't it found on his person?
00:52:32How does this connect to Johnny Hoxham's murder?
00:52:35Oh, sir, Fleur's got something for us.
00:52:37Results show that Mr. Colter did indeed suffer a cardiac arrest at the time he was crushed.
00:52:46And my measurements came good, Winter.
00:52:51As you can see, physics suggest the tower was deliberately pushed.
00:52:56But, er, that's not all.
00:52:58Mr. Colter had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator,
00:53:04a preventative measure for those at risk of cardiac arrest.
00:53:08But the device had been deliberately disabled.
00:53:11Oh.
00:53:13By being in close proximity to a powerful magnet.
00:53:16Like a large fishing magnet?
00:53:18Gold Star Winter.
00:53:20It would need to be positioned less than six inches away from his heart,
00:53:25but no magnet was found close to the body.
00:53:27Could it be anything else?
00:53:29Traces of neodymium, iron and boron were found on his chest area,
00:53:34so, in my opinion, a magnet was held over the victim's heart while he was still alive.
00:53:41Rufus Colter's background check has just come in.
00:53:44Oh?
00:53:45Nothing remarkable other than how minted he was, given the scholar he lived in.
00:53:48But legal has come up with something interesting.
00:53:51Rufus Colter left everything in his will to Freddie and Gemma Westcott.
00:53:55Oh, sorry. So sorry to bother you, Mrs. Gideon.
00:54:14Um, your husband said you might be here. I'm Lucy Weaving.
00:54:17Yes, of course. How can I help?
00:54:21I'm trying to trace my Aunt Jessie, Jessica Clisold.
00:54:25I understand you were there when her bike was found?
00:54:28Yes. It was a bit of a shock.
00:54:31Poor Richard seemed very upset.
00:54:33It's probably just a coincidence, but I worry that the recent murders and Jessie's disappearance might be connected somehow.
00:54:44I'm assuming you knew her?
00:54:45I knew of her, but I didn't really have any friends in the village apart from William.
00:54:50I spent my youth combing the river, collecting whatever I could find to use in my artworks.
00:54:54That's, that's one of mine, all made from mudlarking finds.
00:55:06The river drew William and I together.
00:55:10He's a little bit older than me, but we shared a passion for mudlarking.
00:55:13It's beautiful.
00:55:15Oh, thank you.
00:55:17There's something wonderful about bringing new life to things that would otherwise be lost forever.
00:55:26You didn't seem very upset about Mr. Coulter's death, Mr. Westcott.
00:55:30By how it was expected, given his art condition.
00:55:33But you must have been close for him to make you the sole beneficiaries of his will.
00:55:37And given the state of your business, the timing seems pretty convenient.
00:55:40It's not what you think.
00:55:42Rufus had never been popular in the village.
00:55:44He was eccentric, harmless. He just couldn't let anything go.
00:55:48Which is why he was so angry when Johnny grassed him up.
00:55:52The heritage lot confiscated loads of his most treasured finds. He was distraught.
00:55:56Rufus knew he would never make old bones.
00:55:58So he asked us to take care of the rest of it after he'd gone.
00:56:02I said yes.
00:56:03And will you?
00:56:05You're joking, aren't you?
00:56:07I'll sell anything that's worth something.
00:56:08Take the rest of the dump.
00:56:10What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
00:56:13But he was hurt, Mrs. Westcott.
00:56:15Quite deliberately.
00:56:17I thought he had a heart attack.
00:56:19He did, but his defibrillator implant failed because someone held a magnet over his heart to disable it.
00:56:24Just like the ones you use.
00:56:26Hang on a minute.
00:56:27You clearly had motive given the state of your business and you knew that the inheritance would solve all your problems.
00:56:33And you had the means.
00:56:35Rufus had his own magnets.
00:56:37Anyone could have done it.
00:56:38Oh, DCI Barnaby.
00:56:39Lucy Weaving.
00:56:40We met briefly on my uncle's doorstep.
00:56:41I remember.
00:56:42This is my colleague, Dias Winter.
00:56:43How can we help?
00:56:44I'm concerned that my digging into Aunt Jessie's past might have something to do with the recent murders.
00:56:59Why would you think that?
00:57:00No one in the village seems to know anything.
00:57:02Or if they do, they won't talk to me.
00:57:05The vicar's wife says she barely knew her.
00:57:08My uncle Richard refuses to talk about it.
00:57:10And when I tried to speak to Mary Hamble about her, she shut the door in my face.
00:57:15I'm pretty sure she's hiding something.
00:57:18Well, thank you, Ms. Weaving.
00:57:20Leave it with us.
00:57:21The police are out of me.
00:57:26Gonna have to do this now.
00:57:29I don't think the Westcots realise how rich they're gonna be.
00:57:32Not much to spend it on in prison.
00:57:34They both have motive for Rufus Coulter, but not, thank you, Johnny Hoxham,
00:57:38and there's no evidence to place them at either murders.
00:57:41Well, let's keep an open mind for now.
00:57:44Just got the initial tests back on the body parts in the cellar.
00:57:47It seems they date back to way before Rufus Coulter was even born.
00:57:52Well, backing up the Westcots' assertion that he treasured everything he found, however macabre.
00:57:57So, they were telling the truth about that, at least.
00:58:00Leave you to it, gentlemen.
00:58:02This is from archives about Jesse Clissold's disappearance.
00:58:06It seems that Clissolds accused her of stealing family jewellery,
00:58:10notably a very valuable 17th-century posy ring.
00:58:14I made a note of the engraving to help identify it should it be found.
00:58:20United Heart Death Only Parts.
00:58:23Several people said that they saw Jesse Clissold leave the village on her bike.
00:58:28But only Mary Hamble made a statement saying she saw her at the station,
00:58:31which Mrs. Hamble refused to discuss with Lucy Weaving. Why?
00:58:37We need to talk to her.
00:58:39In your statement, you claim that Jesse Clissold got on the train to London with her bike.
00:58:44The same bike that was found in the river this morning.
00:58:47Maybe I was confused.
00:58:49Jesse was never without a bike.
00:58:51It was such a long time ago.
00:58:53But you saw her at the station. You're absolutely sure of that.
00:58:56Of course I'm sure.
00:58:57Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:59:06Thank you for your time.
00:59:07Mary Hamble doesn't strike me as a person who gets confused.
00:59:28I agree.
00:59:29She knows exactly what she saw that day.
00:59:31Oh, that's tech.
00:59:35Looks like Rufus Coulter called the vicarage twice before he died.
00:59:40Gideon's phone records reveal that the first call went to voicemail,
00:59:43but was subsequently deleted.
00:59:46The second call was answered.
00:59:49Reverend Gideon didn't mention a voicemail.
00:59:52Let's see if he's at home.
01:00:01Reverend Gideon.
01:00:17Reverend Gideon.
01:00:26Sorry to disturb you. We tried the house, but there was no answer.
01:00:28Oh, I lost my bus tricky here.
01:00:30I'll just skip spares here somewhere, but no luck so far.
01:00:33How can I help?
01:00:35The calls you received from Rufus Coulter,
01:00:37there seems to be some discrepancy.
01:00:39Two calls were made to the vicarage from Mr. Coulter's mobile.
01:00:42The first one went to voicemail.
01:00:43A message was left that lasted over a minute.
01:00:46The second call was answered.
01:00:48You mentioned the call, but not the message.
01:00:51I never heard it.
01:00:53Generally, I have no idea how that could have happened.
01:00:55My wife was here. I was alone in the house.
01:00:59I see.
01:01:01Well, thank you for your time.
01:01:02We'll see ourselves out.
01:01:08William.
01:01:10I'm so sorry. There's something I haven't told you.
01:01:13I deleted that voicemail.
01:01:16Why?
01:01:17Rufus was so awful to Johnny, and I didn't see why we should help him.
01:01:20I need to tell them the truth.
01:01:22Okay, uh...
01:01:24I'll handle it.
01:01:51Up to you old chicks, Coul!
01:02:00Reverend Gideon was the last person to have seen Johnny Hoxham alive,
01:02:07and the first person to have seen Rufus called to dead, or so he claims.
01:02:10He had no explanation for the deleted voicemail, and he failed to pass on the warning about the sinkhole.
01:02:18He had means and opportunity to kill both victims, but...
01:02:21Yes, Winter.
01:02:23What's the motive?
01:02:25We are.
01:02:26Okay. All right.
01:02:27Well, we'll be right down.
01:02:29Cole Densmore is in custody.
01:02:31He was caught red-handed stealing lead off the church roof, but says he wants to talk to us.
01:02:35Why?
01:02:36Well, apparently he saw Reverend Gideon acting suspiciously in the churchyard.
01:02:39Says he thought he saw him hiding something.
01:02:41Did he now?
01:02:44Cole Densmore said it was on the far side.
01:02:47An old grave under a tree with an urn.
01:02:53Could it be that one?
01:02:54Could it be that one?
01:03:15It must be the necklace Rufus Coulter found in Jesse Closol's pannier.
01:03:19What was Reverend Gideon doing with it?
01:03:25And why was he hiding it out here?
01:03:39Reverend Gideon.
01:03:44You have some explaining to do.
01:03:49I've been praying for guidance, Chief Inspector, and God's answered my prayers.
01:03:55The time's come to confess the truth.
01:04:00Which is what, exactly?
01:04:03Jesse's death was a terrible accident.
01:04:07I hit her with my car on the way to the station.
01:04:11I knew I was over the limit, and if the truth came out, then I'd be finished.
01:04:19So you covered it up?
01:04:22Yeah, I, uh...
01:04:26I disposed of her and a bike in the deepest part of the river.
01:04:31I had no idea that the necklace was in her pannier.
01:04:36Why did that matter?
01:04:38Uh...
01:04:40Well, Jesse had always admired the shilling, so I had it made into a necklace or a 16th birthday present.
01:04:47So you knew the family well?
01:04:50Yeah, my, uh...
01:04:53My family had always attended St. Leonard's, as had the Gazards, Alice's parents.
01:05:00It was then they encouraged me to follow Reverend Clissold into the ministry.
01:05:07But prior to my ordination, I'd, I'd taken up a curacy in London.
01:05:13And I'd found the coin, a, uh, a rare 1819 George III gold-plated shilling mud-larking in the Thames,
01:05:22where one is obliged to have all significant finds officially recorded.
01:05:27So I knew when Rufus found it, that it could be traced back to me.
01:05:33And rather than help Rufus, you decided to retrieve the necklace and silence him?
01:05:41Yeah, he wanted to tell the police.
01:05:44And I couldn't let that happen.
01:05:48And Johnny Hogson?
01:05:50Johnny was in love with my wife, and...
01:05:57I feared that she felt the same, and I, I, I was terrified of, of losing her.
01:06:05So you lured him to his death?
01:06:10Yeah.
01:06:11I have no excuse for any of it, Chief Inspector.
01:06:16It was all a kind of madness, for which I know I have no hope of forgiveness.
01:06:21You don't buy it, sir?
01:06:22Not entirely.
01:06:23It just seems, you know, too studied, too neat.
01:06:27Like the last act of a play.
01:06:28If he is telling the truth, then you know someone else who must be lying.
01:06:29You know someone else who must be lying.
01:06:30You don't buy it, sir?
01:06:31Not entirely.
01:06:32It just seems, you know, too studied, too neat.
01:06:49Like the last act of a play.
01:06:52If he is telling the truth, then you know someone else who must be lying.
01:06:55That statement I made 40 years ago, it was a lie.
01:07:04I never saw Jesse at the station.
01:07:07So why make that statement?
01:07:10Because I was asked to.
01:07:12But when Lucy Weaving started breaking all this up again,
01:07:17I didn't know what to do for the best.
01:07:20Reverend Gideon advised me to follow my conscience.
01:07:23Is that who asked you to lie?
01:07:25No.
01:07:27It was Richard Clisold.
01:07:31Can you tell us why?
01:07:33Richard caught Jesse stealing their mother's jewelry.
01:07:36She told him she was leaving.
01:07:38Said if he stopped her, then she'd make it her business to bring shame on the family.
01:07:43Well, Richard couldn't risk that happening.
01:07:46So we let her go.
01:07:48And then asked me to say I'd seen her at the station to stop people asking questions.
01:07:53Why did you agree to her?
01:07:55At the time, I half believed I was in love with him.
01:08:01I'd have done anything he asked.
01:08:04But now, I'm wondering if I helped him get away with murder.
01:08:08So William confessed to killing Jessica?
01:08:14Hmm.
01:08:16He's also confessed to the murders of Johnny Hoxham and Rufus Coulter.
01:08:21So he lied?
01:08:23To everyone?
01:08:25Hmm.
01:08:27As did you, Mr. Clisold.
01:08:3040 years ago.
01:08:31You asked Mary Hamble to give a false statement about your sister Jessie's departure.
01:08:42Mary came to me this afternoon.
01:08:45She said she would tell you the truth if I didn't.
01:08:49I asked Mary to lie.
01:08:52To stop any further questions being asked.
01:08:55Why would you do that?
01:08:57My father was the subject of some vile rumours.
01:09:03Jessie threatened to tell the church community that they were all true.
01:09:08What did you do?
01:09:09I tried to persuade Jessie to stay, but she said she would only do that if our father's hypocrisy was exposed.
01:09:18The coward in me couldn't face the truth, so we struck a deal.
01:09:23I would allow her to leave without raising the alarm, but she could never return.
01:09:29I blamed it all on her.
01:09:31But in truth, my parents were to blame for all her pain.
01:09:37What do you mean?
01:09:39They should have tried to understand Jessie.
01:09:41Instead of farming her out to a school for girls with troubled, often violent backgrounds,
01:09:47it was then she started calling herself Leo.
01:09:51Leo? Why?
01:09:53Because lions are wild, powerful, brave.
01:09:58All the things she needed to be in order to survive.
01:10:02I loved my father too much.
01:10:05If the truth came out, it would have destroyed him.
01:10:11But that poor girl was my sister.
01:10:13Innocent of any wrongdoing.
01:10:19I should have protected her.
01:10:22Not him.
01:10:28I was too weak.
01:10:34Here you go, love.
01:10:36Oh, and this came for you, Miss Weaven.
01:10:39Okay.
01:10:41Who delivered it?
01:10:42No idea.
01:10:43I found it on the table outside.
01:10:45The victim's being arrested.
01:10:47Seeing to your hypocrites behind all of it.
01:10:49Including what happened to your aunt.
01:10:51I always knew that man was a wrong'un.
01:10:52Are you absolutely sure?
01:10:54100%.
01:10:55I saw the cop was taken away.
01:10:57After all that finger pointing at me.
01:10:59Yeah, we're on our way there now.
01:11:05I'll let them know to expect you.
01:11:07That was the Heritage Crime Unit.
01:11:10Our surgeon to Freddie Westcott brought them to us.
01:11:12Looks like his dodgy deals are about to catch up.
01:11:15Oh.
01:11:16Let's give him the good news.
01:11:18I'll try and get hold of Sarah.
01:11:20See if she's got anywhere with Jessie Clissell's school records.
01:11:24We know that she was mixing with troubled, violent pupils,
01:11:29but did she have any particular friends or enemies?
01:11:34Sarah might have some answers.
01:11:39Ah, you find you're a real murderer then?
01:11:41Told you we had nothing to do with it.
01:11:43And we are going to be very rich through no fault of our own.
01:11:47Indeed.
01:11:48Though you might have to serve a prison sentence before you can enjoy it.
01:11:51Remember that man that you sold the Anglo-Saxon figurine to?
01:11:55The same man you and Cole Densmore had on speed dial
01:11:58to offload all your mudlarking contraband.
01:12:01Well, it turns out that he works undercover at the Heritage Crime Union.
01:12:04And they've been following your under-the-counter dealings for months.
01:12:07In fact, they're on their way here now.
01:12:12Hello?
01:12:14I'm so sorry to bother you, but I heard about your husband.
01:12:17It must have been a terrible shock.
01:12:18It's almost impossible to believe.
01:12:21William's just not capable.
01:12:25Someone just left me this.
01:12:31Leave now or you'll be next.
01:12:34If William was already in custody when it was delivered, then it can't be him.
01:12:38And why would he threaten me if he was just about to converse?
01:12:40It doesn't make any sense.
01:12:42Have you told the police?
01:12:43Not yet.
01:12:45Why don't I call them and make us some sweet tea?
01:12:49I think we could both do with it.
01:13:21Let Lucy Weaver know about Reverend Gideon's confession before the press get hold of it.
01:13:38Hey.
01:13:39I finally managed to speak to one of the nuns who taught at Everglade House.
01:13:44She remembered Jesse well, but when I asked her about friends, she said she only had one.
01:13:47Alice Gazard.
01:13:49Gazard? That's Alice Gideon's maiden name.
01:13:52She told Lucy Weaving that they barely knew each other.
01:13:54According to Sister Maria, they were kindred spirits.
01:13:57Both had experienced painful rejection by their families and became inseparable.
01:13:59But Alice still lived with her parents?
01:14:02No, her adoptive parents.
01:14:03Alice was abandoned at birth and taken in by the Catholic school attached to the convent.
01:14:08Sister Maria handled her first fostering placement.
01:14:11It was terminated after an act of extreme violence.
01:14:15What happened?
01:14:18The incident took place after Mrs. Marchmont informed Alice that she would be returning her to the convent.
01:14:24She told Alice she had been a great disappointment and not the daughter she wanted.
01:14:30As Mrs. Marchmont walked away, Alice picked up one of Mr. Marchmont's golf clubs and struck her across the back of the head with such force that it fractured her skull.
01:14:41She was only eight years old.
01:14:43It says here that the Gazards took her in within weeks. I mean, how's that even possible?
01:14:46Well, a decision was made not to reveal what happened.
01:14:49Sister Maria thought that was wrong, so she kept a copy of her records.
01:14:51The Gazards were advised to keep Alice at the same school to avoid further disruption, and Jessie Klissel joined her there when she was 13.
01:14:59So Alice Gideon lied about everything?
01:15:01And her husband's confession seemed too studied, too neat, because it was.
01:15:06It was lying to protect Alice.
01:15:07Mrs. Gideon? Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:20Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:26The house is all locked up. There's no answer.
01:15:28Let's try the studio.
01:15:29.
01:15:30.
01:15:35Lucy's in there.
01:15:37Get in there.
01:15:38.
01:15:39.
01:15:40.
01:15:42Ambulance.
01:15:43Stay there, sir.
01:15:45The vicarage callsworthy.
01:15:46.
01:15:47Lucy.
01:15:48.
01:15:52Blunt force trauma to the head, with a dose of gas-induced asphyxiation, for good measure.
01:16:12This bottle of ammonia is the culprit.
01:16:15Go on.
01:16:17When boiled, pure ammonia becomes a highly concentrated gas.
01:16:22It's extremely dangerous to inhale.
01:16:24When diluted with water, it can also be used to strip metal.
01:16:27Something Alice Gideon might use to clean her mud larking finds.
01:16:41What are you thinking, sir?
01:16:43Well, to quote Richard Clishold, I'm getting my eye in.
01:16:47You know, mud larkers look for treasures that are unseen by most, but not invisible to all.
01:16:57And I think I've found one.
01:17:00Leo.
01:17:02Sir?
01:17:03Jessie Clishold's alter-ego was a lion.
01:17:07She called herself Leo.
01:17:09The jewellery that Jessie stole on the day she left included a posy ring.
01:17:16And a part of this lion's eye is a ring displaying the French word mar.
01:17:23Death.
01:17:24Well, the wording on the stolen ring was in English.
01:17:28Ah, but these rings were often engraved in French on the outside and English on the inside.
01:17:36And on the inside, united hearts, death only parts.
01:17:51Jessie Clishold had the ring in her possession when she left for London, so what is it doing in Alice Gideon's studio?
01:17:59Well, you need to ask her before she does any more harm.
01:18:03Yes.
01:18:04Yes.
01:18:29Jessie Weaving's going to live, Mrs. Gideon, despite your best efforts.
01:18:35We found the ring that Jessie Clishold stole from her mother on the day that she left home.
01:18:40You need to understand how it came to be in your possession.
01:18:44You need to tell us exactly what happened, Mrs. Gideon.
01:18:49Before I do, I need you to know that I loved her and that she loved me.
01:18:57We could never be together here, so we'd made a plan to leave, go somewhere they'd never find us.
01:19:03But I couldn't go through with it.
01:19:05I was only 17.
01:19:07William and I were already engaged.
01:19:10He offered me safety and stability.
01:19:15Things that had eluded you as a child.
01:19:18We know that you were rejected by your birth mother and then by your foster family.
01:19:25I started to think, what if Jessie abandoned me to?
01:19:31I'd have no one.
01:19:33So I panicked.
01:19:35Begged her to stay.
01:19:37I needed more time.
01:19:38No one knew we were even friends.
01:19:40But she said it was too late.
01:19:43That if I didn't go with her, she was going to tell William the truth.
01:19:46I thought she was bluffing, but she was deadly serious.
01:19:50William had given me the necklace as an engagement present.
01:19:54A talisman to keep me safe.
01:19:56Jessie said she was going to give it back to William.
01:20:00Tell him I didn't need it.
01:20:02What do you think you're doing?
01:20:04She was my lover and protector now.
01:20:06Give him back!
01:20:07No, leave me alone!
01:20:08Stop it!
01:20:09Stop it!
01:20:10What are you doing?
01:20:12You struck her violently from behind, just as you'd struck Mrs. Marchmont.
01:20:39Almost killing her too.
01:20:41I felt no remorse for what I did to that woman.
01:20:43But I didn't mean to hurt Jessie.
01:20:46I loved her.
01:20:47You could have come clean about it, but instead you decided to cover it up.
01:20:52I knew that the water was deepest under the bridge.
01:20:56But your necklace was still in the jacket, in the pannier bag.
01:21:02Evidence that you feared might put you at the scene of Jessie's death.
01:21:07By the time I realised that, it was too late.
01:21:09I still had to hide her body.
01:21:12And you knew the river like the back of your hand.
01:21:14I remembered there's a deep hollow in the bank just around the bend in the river.
01:21:19I dragged Jessie's body to the water and I floated her downstream and I managed to push her body deep inside the hollow and weigh it down with rocks.
01:21:33And that's where she has remained?
01:21:38But when Lucy Weaving started asking questions, I needed to check that her remains were still well hidden.
01:21:48And that's when Johnny saw me.
01:21:50We'd been mudlarking at Hollybrook.
01:21:52I told William that I wanted to walk home.
01:21:54I thought that Johnny would go back over the bridges, but he didn't.
01:21:57Alice?
01:21:58What are you doing?
01:22:00Oh, I thought I saw something in the water, but it was just a trick of the light.
01:22:05Oh.
01:22:06Well, it's not a bad idea looking here though.
01:22:08The current flows this way from Hollybrook.
01:22:10I'll come back here tomorrow.
01:22:12Come with me if you're free.
01:22:14Sure.
01:22:16Good idea.
01:22:17Great.
01:22:18And you couldn't let that happen, knowing what he might discover.
01:22:22I didn't have a plan until William got the call about the sinkhole by the jetty.
01:22:28He had no idea that I was listening in on the conversation.
01:22:32You called Johnny Hoxham from the phone box and lured him to his death.
01:22:37It seemed like the easiest solution, but it was so hard.
01:22:41Help.
01:22:42Help.
01:22:43Help.
01:22:46Somebody.
01:22:47Please.
01:22:50Help me.
01:22:51Please.
01:22:52First, you tried to implicate Cole Densmore by saying that you'd seen him at the river.
01:23:03And then you got lucky.
01:23:04Rufus Coulter sent Johnny Hoxham a memento mori that evening, making him our prime suspect.
01:23:10You heard the message that Rufus left at the vicarage.
01:23:13You knew that he'd found the necklace, which he feared might wrongly connect him to Jesse's death.
01:23:20But in reality, it connects you.
01:23:25What happened exactly?
01:23:26William was just coming out of Evensong that night, and I was leaving to meet Jesse.
01:23:37I told him that I was going for a bike ride, and he was worried it might not be safe.
01:23:41It was getting dark.
01:23:42I told him that as long as I was wearing his necklace, I would always be safe.
01:23:47He kissed it, just to make sure.
01:23:50And when I returned hours later, I was in a terrible state.
01:23:55I told him the necklace was lost, that the class must have come undone or something,
01:24:00that I'd been desperately trying to find it all this time.
01:24:04And now you had to recover the necklace from Rufus Coulter to stop William finding out the truth.
01:24:13Vicar?
01:24:17Vicar?
01:24:20And you didn't leave anything to chance, did you?
01:24:22You found one of Mr. Coulter's fishing magnets and placed it on his chest to ensure his silence.
01:24:27What?
01:24:29Vicar?
01:24:30Vicar?
01:24:32Vicar?
01:24:33Vicar?
01:24:34Vicar?
01:24:35Vicar?
01:24:36Vicar?
01:24:37Vicar?
01:24:38Vicar?
01:24:39Vicar?
01:24:40Vicar?
01:24:41Vicar?
01:24:42Vicar?
01:24:43Vicar?
01:24:44Vicar?
01:24:45Vicar?
01:24:46Vicar?
01:24:47Vicar?
01:24:48Vicar?
01:24:49Vicar?
01:24:50Vicar?
01:24:51Vicar?
01:24:52Vicar?
01:24:53Vicar?
01:24:54Vicar?
01:24:55Vicar?
01:24:56Vicar?
01:24:57Vicar?
01:24:58Vicar?
01:24:59Vicar?
01:25:00Vicar?
01:25:01Vicar?
01:25:02Vicar?
01:25:03Vicar?
01:25:04Vicar?
01:25:05Vicar?
01:25:06Vicar?
01:25:07Vicar?
01:25:08Vicar?
01:25:09Vicar?
01:25:10Vicar?
01:25:11Vicar?
01:25:12Vicar?
01:25:13and when he found it your husband realized that you'd got to Rufus Coulter before he did
01:25:21that you lied to cover your tracks and that you'd been with Jessie Clisold when she died
01:25:27and so he confessed to all of it in order to protect you and you let him but you knew you
01:25:33were still in danger as long as Lucy Weaving was still asking questions that's why I wrote the
01:25:39note just to frighten her into leaving but while you were out delivering your note your
01:25:44husband was making his confession that wasn't part of the plan Lucy realized that if William
01:25:50had been arrested then he couldn't have left the note just needed by myself some time so
01:25:55I told her that I would make tea call the police then as I left I saw her staring at Leo
01:26:02I knew in that moment that she was close to the truth
01:26:09that there would be questions that I wouldn't be able to answer
01:26:12it was too late to stop
01:26:20her husband's been released
01:26:27he'd like to talk to you but you're under no obligation
01:26:32no I want to
01:26:39I always thought you were fragile Alice needed my protection but the one you become I don't
01:26:51recognize she's not my Alice she's always been there William I just learned how to keep her
01:27:00well hidden because no one's ever loved or wanted that Alice except Jessie
01:27:06you'll need to tell us exactly where she is
01:27:12she's downstream in the hollow
01:27:20you're a natural detective Sarah well only if it's history related but when it is you're like a dog with a bone oh not again Paddy
01:27:38we're gonna have to get rid of that rug Sarah
01:27:53hey it's the silver eternity bracelet you got me when I had Betty you lost that years ago
01:28:02oh and I'm very grateful to have it back good boy
01:28:06seems like Paddy's good at solving mysteries too
