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, God.
00:07:35Oh.
00:07:36Oh.
00:07:36Oh.
00:07:37Oh.
00:07:39It's a wicked job.
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.
00:08:21So 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.
00:08:43Thanks for watching, guys.
00:08:44And if you haven't already, don't forget to like and subscribe.
00:08:47All merch available via the link.
00:08:49Happy magnetarian!
00:08:51Bye, then.
00:08:52See you tomorrow.
00:08:53Thinking of coming to the blessing of the river ceremony.
00:08:56Oh, seeing the light at last.
00:08:57Now, that would be a miracle.
00:08:59But if there are blessings to be added, then why shouldn't we have some of them?
00:09:03No, it's you lot who need to get lucky.
00:09:05Not us.
00:09:06That's just out there.
00:09:07Don't ever get up in town.
00:09:09One can but hope.
00:09:12I'm heading back.
00:09:13Yeah, me too.
00:09:14I'm getting cold.
00:09:15I can give you a lift.
00:09:16Thanks.
00:09:17I'd rather walk.
00:09:18Johnny?
00:09:20William, shall I take the jar?
00:09:23Someone needs to report it.
00:09:25The jar?
00:09:26Good job.
00:09:27Yeah, yeah.
00:09:28That would be much appreciated.
00:09:34William, is there something wrong?
00:09:37No, no.
00:09:38Everything's fine.
00:09:56I don't know.
00:09:57He's the same.
00:09:58I'm trying to do it.
00:10:02He's my turn.
00:10:03We're all right.
00:10:04No.
00:10:06Mr. Romney.
00:10:07Wonderful!
00:10:08I'm a little nervous.
00:10:09He's here.
00:10:10He's here.
00:10:12He's here.
00:10:13He's here.
00:10:14He's here.
00:10:15He's me.
00:10:18He's here.
00:10:19Yeah, 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!
00:10:49I'm going to find out, Mom.
00:10:59I promise.
00:11:00I promise.
00:11:30Hello?
00:11:34Oh, hello.
00:11:36What?
00:11:38What?
00:11:39Are you sure about that?
00:11:42No, no, no.
00:11:43Hold on a second.
00:11:44I just need to write this down.
00:11:46Hang on.
00:11:47Get ups.
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:56I'll drop.
00:11:57Come on.
00:11:57I'll drop.
00:11:59I'll drop.
00:11:59I don't know.
00:12:29Help!
00:12:31Help!
00:12:33Somebody!
00:12:35Help me!
00:12:36Please!
00:12:59Yes, we will gather round the river
00:13:05The beautiful, the beautiful river
00:13:09Gather with the saints of the river
00:13:13And close by the throne of God
00:13:17Morning, vicar!
00:13:21You see that look? He's really not happy
00:13:25Judge not, lest ye be judged
00:13:28Isn't that what the bible says?
00:13:30Yeah, but the man's a hypocrite
00:13:32Preaches one thing, does the opposite
00:13:36Well, at least he's not a Judas, like Johnny
00:13:39Talking to Johnny, where is he?
00:13:43Right, we've made our point, let's go to the pub
00:13:45Rihanna?
00:13:47Bless him won't do any of us any harm
00:13:49Especially you, Cole
00:13:51Gracious God
00:13:53We pray for all those poor souls lost to our rivers
00:13:57And waterways
00:13:59Who these flowers represent
00:14:01In Christianity
00:14:03Water can symbolize both life and death
00:14:07And is a central symbol in the sacrament of baptism
00:14:10A moment of spiritual purification
00:14:13Ah!
00:14:20Ah!
00:14:30Ah morning Jamie, do you want to be down in a seat?
00:14:32Thanks
00:14:34quality
00:14:35Looking very glamorous for a school day
00:14:36Ahh
00:14:37but it's not a school day winter, far from it
00:14:39Mum's gonna be on TV
00:14:41Oh 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
00:14:49doesn't turn your head.
00:14:50It'll be Hollywood next, sir.
00:14:51Oh, quite fancy a life of sound-surfing celebrity drama.
00:14:55What do you think?
00:14:56You give any film star a run for her money.
00:14:58No, 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.
00:15:05There's always the potential for a bit of real-life drama.
00:15:07Can you get your stuff to go through?
00:15:08Careful what you wish for, sir.
00:15:13DCI Barnaby.
00:15:21Good 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
00:15:28been in the water no longer than 24 hours.
00:15:32There have been reports of a sinkhole in the stretch of river.
00:15:35And sinkholes combined with silt can
00:15:38be a particularly dangerous combination.
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,
00:15:48the victim was a local man, last seen alive yesterday evening.
00:15:51This jacket was found along with a bag containing a phone, a wallet, and a notebook.
00:15:55They confirmed his identity as Jonathan David Hoxham.
00:15:59This was found in the pocket.
00:16:03Memento mori is Latin.
00:16:06It means, remember that you have to die.
00:16:08Who knew Winter could speak Latin?
00:16:13You're wasted as a plod.
00:16:13I'm not a...
00:16:14I'm a detective.
00:16:15Detective Sergeant.
00:16:16Sir?
00:16:17It's so easy to wind up.
00:16:18It's delicious.
00:16:19It's delicious.
00:16:20If we could possibly get back to the masher at hand.
00:16:23I won't know any more until I've done the post-vortem.
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.
00:16:37Why did he come here?
00:16:40Was he meeting someone?
00:16:41Digital forensics are trying to unlock his phone.
00:16:43Where exactly was the body found?
00:16:45Into the jetty, sir.
00:16:48Reverend William Gideon was conducting a river blessing when his wife saw the body in the water.
00:16:52He and his mudlarking group were here yesterday afternoon, and Johnny 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?
00:17:06Yeah.
00:17:07Said he was going home and left alone.
00:17:09Mrs. Gideon can't understand why he came back.
00:17:12Well, let's talk to both groups.
00:17:14Find out if anything happened yesterday that might, um, shed some light.
00:17:18Sorry.
00:17:40Dan Peasey, Gemstone Television.
00:17:42We're here to see Richard Clissold.
00:17:44So he's expecting you?
00:17:45Absolutely.
00:17:46He's not back yet?
00:17:47We're happy to wait.
00:17:51Johnny Hoxham was a devout member of the St. Leonard's family and a passionate member of the Midsomer Mudlarks.
00:18:03His loss is a tragedy for the whole village community.
00:18:06Did Mr. Hoxham have any enemies?
00:18:09But it was an accident, surely.
00:18:11Yeah, we have to keep an open mind at this stage, Mrs. Gideon.
00:18:16I understand you were the last people to see Mr. Hoxham.
00:18:19Well, technically, that was William.
00:18:21I started walking home while they were still at the river.
00:18:24Yeah, Johnny left soon after.
00:18:26And Richard Clissold was offered him a lift earlier, but he declined.
00:18:30And 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.
00:18:39Did anything happen at the river that could have upset Mr. Hoxham?
00:18:45Uh, new research suggested that there could have been a pilgrim hostel near Holybrook.
00:18:53Johnny 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 Midsomer Magneteers,
00:19:03another mudlarking group in the area.
00:19:05The ampulla and Thomas Beckett badge are often found together,
00:19:09so 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.
00:19:22What do you mean?
00:19:24Well, the Mudlarks are keen historians and ecologists.
00:19:27We research respectfully for evidence of the past
00:19:30in order to build collections of local historical importance.
00:19:33And the Midsomer Magneteers?
00:19:35Well, they use heavy, high-strength magnets to amass large quantities of metal for cash.
00:19:41Their gung-ho attitude causes untold damage to the environment.
00:19:45Which is a source of conflict?
00:19:47Yeah, unfortunately, yes.
00:19:50There was something else.
00:19:52Johnny found a rare Wiccan jar in the river.
00:19:56Witches' what, exactly?
00:19:57A sealed 17th century witches' jar, believed to curse whoever opens it.
00:20:03Sadly, that was Johnny.
00:20:06Yeah, as a Christian, I abhor superstition, but...
00:20:09it's an unfortunate coincidence that Johnny died later that day.
00:20:14Where is this jar now?
00:20:17Richard took it with him.
00:20:19Significant artefacts need to be registered.
00:20:22Where might I find him?
00:20:33They're waiting in the sitting room.
00:20:35What on earth are they doing here?
00:20:37They said you were expecting them.
00:20:39I didn't know what to do.
00:20:41Go home, Mary.
00:20:43I'll deal with this.
00:20:49Mr. Clisold.
00:20:50I thought I made myself perfectly clear.
00:20:52We were in the area, and your niece was very keen to meet you.
00:20:58Uncle Richard.
00:21:00I'm Lucy.
00:21:02Hannah's daughter.
00:21:05Fine.
00:21:06I'll answer your questions.
00:21:08But under no circumstances will I appear on your television programme.
00:21:12Is that understood?
00:21:14Perfectly.
00:21:18These bills are you paying today?
00:21:20It's all under control, Gem.
00:21:21I can't tax on his way.
00:21:23Well, what if you get caught?
00:21:24Things are getting out of hand.
00:21:26Fine.
00:21:27Mr. and Mrs. Westcott.
00:21:29DS Winter.
00:21:30Causton CID.
00:21:31What can we do for you?
00:21:32Body was found in the river this morning.
00:21:34I 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.
00:21:39He drowned near where you were mudlarking yesterday afternoon.
00:21:42Johnny?
00:21:43But why would he go back in there after the warning?
00:21:45What warning?
00:21:46I got a call from Jacob Mitchell.
00:21:47He farms the land around Hollybrook.
00:21:49One of his lads had seen us heading down there.
00:21:52Jacob's lost sheep to a sinkhole in the river and he wanted us to know exactly where it was.
00:21:56So I put an alert on the magnateer's chat.
00:21:59Did you share that information with the mudlarks?
00:22:01Well, I didn't have to.
00:22:02Jacob said he'd already told the vicar.
00:22:05We understand that there's some unfriendly rivalry between you and the mudlarks.
00:22:09Was there any friction at Hollybrook?
00:22:11It's just the usual sparring banter.
00:22:15I see you've got your own channel.
00:22:17Over 5,000 followers now.
00:22:20Did you film any content yesterday?
00:22:22Yeah, but nothing interesting.
00:22:25I'll still need to see it.
00:22:28It's so strange.
00:22:29My mother grew up in this beautiful house, but I had no idea it even existed until yesterday.
00:22:35Unfortunately, your mother rejected our family in the most hurtful and destructive way.
00:22:40Jessica always admired her, so followed suit.
00:22:43How can you be sure Jessica didn't want to come back?
00:22:46She 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 and everything we stood for and states quite clearly she wishes no one to come after her.
00:23:07Leo.
00:23:08Yeah.
00:23:09But the letter is signed Leo.
00:23:12She saw herself as a lion caged here against her will.
00:23:15Calling herself Leo was another way of further distancing herself from us.
00:23:20Is it okay if I photograph it?
00:23:21No, it is not.
00:23:23Did your parents notify the police when she left?
00:23:26My father was obliged to report it, but since there were no suspicious circumstances, that was the end of it.
00:23:32And they never tried to contact her?
00:23:35My parents had to draw a line.
00:23:39We had to get on with our own lives.
00:23:41What exactly happened the night she left?
00:23:45If you'll excuse me, I need to talk to a police officer about the tragic death of a friend.
00:23:49I'm so sorry, but thank you for seeing us.
00:23:52Um, I'd love to talk more if...
00:23:54There's nothing more to say.
00:23:56Forgive my scepticism, but you're clearly just doing this to increase your celebrity profile.
00:24:00I want no part in it.
00:24:02DCI Barnaby, do come in.
00:24:04They're just leaving.
00:24:05The art of mudlarking lies in the ability to spot things invisible to others.
00:24:25What we call getting your eye in.
00:24:28The mistake is in looking too hard.
00:24:30Very much like my own job.
00:24:33How well did you know Mr. Hoxham?
00:24:36We were more colleagues than friends.
00:24:39Both fascinated by the history attached to objects we found.
00:24:43I understand there was some conflict between the two mudlarking groups yesterday afternoon.
00:24:50Did any of that involve Mr. Hoxham specifically?
00:24:53Not that I'm aware of.
00:24:55Reverend Gideon told us about the discovery of the Wiccan Jar.
00:25:01I believe you have it.
00:25:02Why, yes.
00:25:03The jar.
00:25:11Here it is.
00:25:13Not very pleasant, I'm afraid.
00:25:16I've reported it to the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
00:25:19They'll be taking it off my hands.
00:25:20Could it have been deliberately placed for Mr. Hoxham to find as a warning of some kind?
00:25:26Highly unlikely.
00:25:27It's clear Johnny saw it as a bad omen.
00:25:29Which makes it all the more puzzling why he should choose to return.
00:25:39There's a history of rivalry and antagonism between the mudlarks and the magneteers, but apart from the discovery of the Wiccan Jar, both sides seem to agree nothing unusual happened yesterday.
00:25:52Hmm.
00:25:53I'm not sure they're being entirely honest, sir.
00:25:54This footage was downloaded from Gemma Westcott's phone.
00:25:55It was intended as content for the magneteers' channel.
00:25:56Where were you castling when you found it?
00:25:57Why would I tell you that?
00:25:58Might be loads more of them.
00:25:59Well, then I'll tell the police about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare.
00:26:03You're still out on licence, aren't you Colt?
00:26:09They'll send you straight back.
00:26:10Johnny.
00:26:11Scott's phone was intended as content for the magnateer's channel
00:26:15Where were you castling when you found it?
00:26:18Why would I tell you that?
00:26:19Might be loads more of them
00:26:20But then I'll tell the police about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare
00:26:24You're still out on license, aren't you, Colt?
00:26:28They'll send you straight back
00:26:29Johnny
00:26:29I'll kill you first
00:26:33This was witnessed by both groups
00:26:37Why didn't anyone mention it?
00:26:39Oh, Mrs. Gideon said that Cole 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 called him to warn him about the sinkhole
00:26:53When was this?
00:26:54After they got back from the river
00:26:56Freddie said that he circulated it on the magnateer's chat
00:26:58Claimed that the farmer made the same call to Reverend Gideon
00:27:01You didn't say anything to me
00:27:03Oh, yeah, and finally
00:27:04Thank you
00:27:06Digital managed to access Johnny Hoxham's cloud
00:27:11Someone called him at 1834
00:27:14Then, according to his notebook
00:27:1727 minutes later
00:27:19He was back at the river
00:27:20Whoever 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
00:27:29So, Johnny Hoxham was deliberately lured to his death
00:27:38This is great
00:27:44Do you have any information on Jessie specifically
00:27:47Apart from the birth certificate?
00:27:48Well, her leaving was reported in the local press
00:27:51As vicar of Galsworthy, your grandfather was a powerful and highly respected figure in the village
00:27:58Jessie's decision to leave so soon after your mother's disappearance was of great interest to the community
00:28:03According to this article, she caught the London train at 7.35pm on Wednesday the 14th of May
00:28:10She left with her bike and whatever she could fit into her panniers
00:28:13As witnessed by Mary Hamble, the housekeeper's daughter
00:28:16Sources close to the family confirmed that Miss Clisold had threatened to leave before
00:28:21A note was found leaving them in no doubt that she left of her own free will
00:28:25Richard Clisold still has it
00:28:27And after she left
00:28:30Well, the trail goes cold, I'm afraid
00:28:33If Jessie changed her name or she left the country, it could be very difficult to trace her
00:28:38I'll get our team to look into it
00:28:41What about friends?
00:28:42She may have stayed in touch with someone outside the family
00:28:45Well, I can find out which school she attended and take it from there
00:28:48And Mary Hamble, she might be able to help you
00:28:51She was a similar age and knew the family
00:28:54Yeah, we met her briefly earlier
00:28:56She, um, she cleans for Richard Clisold
00:28:58And I think she still lives
00:29:00At this address
00:29:02Oh, this is
00:29:04Thank you
00:29:05Thank you
00:29:05DCI Barnaby has a few more questions, William
00:29:09Uh, the church flowers were all done, Alice
00:29:12So, uh, I'll leave you to it
00:29:14I'm sorry to disturb you again so soon
00:29:20This is my colleague, DS Winter
00:29:22Yeah, of course, uh, I need some help
00:29:24We understand you received a warning about the sinkhole from a local farmer, Jacob Mitchell
00:29:31You failed to share this warning with other members of your group
00:29:35You also failed to share it with me
00:29:38Yeah, I'm ashamed to say that's true
00:29:41Um, you know, when Jacob rang, I was, I was writing my sermon for the river blessing
00:29:46And I hung up clumsily spilling tea everywhere
00:29:49So I'm afraid the call won't clean out of my mind
00:29:52Freddie Westcott received the same warning and immediately circulated it amongst the magneteers
00:29:56If you'd done that, Johnny Hoxham might be alive now
00:30:00Yeah, which, uh, which I'll regret to the end of my days
00:30:06But it, it didn't occur to me that anyone would return to the river that night
00:30:11So, which is it? Did you forget?
00:30:15Or did you think no one would return to the river?
00:30:18Johnny wasn't the only one there
00:30:20When I was walking home, I saw Cole Densmore on the opposite bank
00:30:24Heading back towards Hollybrook
00:30:26We need to talk to Cole Densmore
00:30:36At the very least, he could be an important witness
00:30:39Unless William Gideon used the farmer's warning to nure Johnny Hoxham to his death
00:30:43And Mrs. Gideon's statement is just a lie to protect him
00:30:46Her sudden recollection is rather convenient
00:30:48But why would Reverend Gideon want Johnny Hoxham dead?
00:30:54Hmm, no idea
00:30:55Cole Densmore's still their only suspect with a motive
00:30:59But he hasn't responded to any of our calls requesting an interview
00:31:02Then Muhammad will have to go to the mountain
00:31:05Mrs. Hamble
00:31:19I don't like being lied to
00:31:20I understand, if you could just give us five minutes, we can explain
00:31:23You knew my Aunt Jessie
00:31:25We're the last person to see her
00:31:27I made my statement at the time
00:31:29It's all on record, there's nothing more to say
00:31:32And Mrs. Hamble, if you...
00:31:33My loyalty is to the family that stayed
00:31:35Not to those that walked away
00:31:37And I certainly don't approve of raking all this up again for a TV show
00:31:41Time for a little fire, Bobby
00:31:59Turns out Cole Densmore is Goldsworthy's resident bad boy
00:32:04Currently out on license for theft
00:32:06Get off my property before I call the cops
00:32:11Yeah, we are the cops, Mr. Densmore
00:32:15I'm not talking out here, so you better come in
00:32:20But I'm not making tea
00:32:23I assume you've got a license for that rather antiquated firearm
00:32:39Don't need one
00:32:40I've got a collector who's going to take it off my hands
00:32:42Yeah, it still needs to be registered, as I'm sure you're aware
00:32:45But it's an antique
00:32:46It's been underwater for years
00:32:47There are rules, Mr. Densmore
00:32:49Okay
00:32:50I'll report it if it'll get you off my back
00:32:52What do you really want?
00:32:55Well, I understand he had an altercation with Johnny Hoxham
00:32:58Just hours before he died
00:33:00That was just banter
00:33:01It looked like a bit more than that from the footage we saw
00:33:04If you'd like me to refresh your memory
00:33:06Okay
00:33:07So I wouldn't give him the ampulla for his epoxy collection
00:33:10Why should I?
00:33:12I know I could get decent money for it
00:33:14You threatened to kill him, Mr. Densmore
00:33:16But I didn't
00:33:17Does the expression memento mori mean anything to you?
00:33:25The river isn't far from here
00:33:27Did you go back there after everyone left?
00:33:29No, why would I?
00:33:30We have a witness who claims that
00:33:32They saw you on this side of the river
00:33:35Heading towards Hollybrook
00:33:37And they need to get their eyes tested
00:33:39And if you're looking for someone with real beef with Johnny
00:33:42Talk to Rufus Coulter
00:33:44He was a mudlark until Johnny grasped him up for not reporting any of the stuff he found
00:33:48What happened?
00:33:50The vicar threw him out in his ear
00:33:51After God knows how many years
00:33:52Rufus never forgave Johnny for that
00:33:55So he joined the magneteers
00:33:58He's a hoarder
00:33:59Total weirdo
00:34:01But they'll take anyone
00:34:03So it seems
00:34:05We'll be in touch, Mr. Densmore
00:34:09What have you said?
00:34:12If you hear the policeman up here
00:34:26Don't panic, okay?
00:34:28They've got nothing on me
00:34:39I suppose those tears are for Johnny
00:34:42Of course they are
00:34:44He was a good friend
00:34:46Yeah, the way you were together made that perfectly clear
00:34:49Oh, William, please, not this again
00:34:51I cared about him, that's all
00:34:54Just wish you cared about me like that
00:34:57Not sure you ever have?
00:35:09I know who your celebrity is
00:35:11We crossed paths earlier
00:35:12Anything to do with your murder investigation?
00:35:17Sorry
00:35:17Strictly need-to-know basis
00:35:19It is intriguing, though, isn't it?
00:35:23Our paths crossing professionally like this
00:35:26Yeah, investigating the same case
00:35:28From very different angles
00:35:30We could both end up on telly at this rate
00:35:34No, my show will only get made
00:35:36If the story has enough layers
00:35:38To keep the viewers intrigued
00:35:39Which, unless there's a massive plot twist
00:35:42Is looking very unlikely
00:35:43In my experience, that can happen when you least expect it
00:35:47What exactly was found?
00:36:10It's the hilt of a sword
00:36:11Past the 8th century
00:36:13Oh, there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement in this area
00:36:15So potentially very exciting
00:36:17But should we really be out so soon mudlarking?
00:36:21It's what Johnny would have wanted
00:36:22If we find something special, we can make sure it's dedicated to his memory
00:36:26Yeah, and as Sir Henry's given us exclusive rights to investigate
00:36:29You're just in time for a team maker
00:36:31Leave now, or I will call the police
00:36:37Oh, that's not very nice, Reverend
00:36:39This is private land, and you don't have permission to be here
00:36:43Says who?
00:36:44Sir Henry's gamekeeper's one of our regulars
00:36:46He had it with his boss for us to check it out
00:36:49He said we might find some Anglo-Saxon gold
00:36:51Gold isn't magnetic
00:36:54So you're wasting your time
00:36:56Anglo-Saxons were con artists
00:36:58Made coins that looked like gold
00:37:01But were mostly bog-standard
00:37:03Metal
00:37:04Still worth a bob or two
00:37:07You should know that, Dickie, being an historian
00:37:09Any news on who killed poor old Johnny?
00:37:14Last we heard, they were questioning you, Vicar
00:37:16Been to see you twice, I believe
00:37:18If you're implying I had something to do with it
00:37:23William, let it go
00:37:25Hasn't there been enough trouble?
00:37:29Let's start on the foreshore
00:37:31Sorry to keep you, couldn't get Paddy in from the garden
00:37:41He's become obsessed with digging
00:37:43I can see that
00:37:45Any developments I should know about?
00:37:48Cole Densmore's phone places him home all evening
00:37:51Just because his phone was there, it doesn't mean he was
00:37:54No, but the background check on Rufus Coulter is much more interesting
00:37:57Johnny Hoxham lodged an official complaint against him
00:38:00Accusing him of what?
00:38:01Harassment
00:38:02He'd been receiving anonymous hate mail
00:38:04He suspected Rufus Coulter, but nothing was ever proved
00:38:08Here
00:38:09Some examples
00:38:11Rufus Coulter blamed Johnny Hoxham
00:38:19For shaming him within the mud-larking community he loved
00:38:23Question is
00:38:25How far would he go to exact revenge?
00:38:31Ken?
00:38:32Ken, make sure you're getting this
00:38:33Cole, get over here, Cole
00:38:35Oh, this is Anglo-Saxon gold
00:38:40And we're billionaires
00:38:40Yeah
00:38:41Oh
00:38:41For a sweaty bite this week
00:38:55Take it to scrap, Cole
00:38:56It's rusted to hell
00:38:57Never mind, love
00:39:02I'll make a some tea
00:39:04Where are you going, mate?
00:39:17Home
00:39:17Not that it's any business of yours
00:39:19Weirder
00:39:22Hi
00:39:25Richard?
00:39:28What is it?
00:39:37Richard?
00:39:39That bicycle
00:39:40I think it's Jessie's
00:39:43Quiet, Bobby
00:39:55It's unbelievable
00:40:12How can anyone live in there?
00:40:14Hopefully we'll find out
00:40:16Mr. Coulter
00:40:22It's the police
00:40:23Just a minute
00:40:24Bobby, come back here now
00:40:29He'll come home when he's hungry
00:40:33Sorry to keep you
00:40:34It's my heart
00:40:36It slows me down
00:40:37Come through
00:40:40What's this all about then?
00:40:52We understand that you and Mr. Hoxton
00:40:55Were 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
00:41:01Good
00:41:02Because like I said
00:41:04I've got heart problems
00:41:07Ask my doctor
00:41:08I'm not capable of hurting anyone
00:41:12But Mr. Hoxton believed you were capable of seeking revenge
00:41:16By 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
00:41:25In Mr. Hoxton's jacket
00:41:27Doesn't mean it's from me, does it?
00:41:30You knew about the sinkhole from the magnateer's chat group
00:41:34So did everyone else
00:41:35So why pick on me?
00:41:39The last call that Mr. Hoxton received was from a phone box
00:41:43Was that you, Mr. Coulter?
00:41:45No
00:41:45So you're wasting your time
00:41:47I'd like you to go now
00:41:58I need to rest
00:41:59I can't handle the stress
00:42:02Well, if you think of anything else
00:42:04Give us a call
00:42:04I've told you everything I know
00:42:06I'll just
00:42:08I'll just leave it there
00:42:09You can see yourselves out
00:42:17Come on, Vicar
00:42:31Pick up
00:42:32Please
00:42:34Ready, babe
00:42:42What are you up to?
00:42:44This little beauty
00:42:45Is an Anglo-Saxon figurine
00:42:47Extremely rare, apparently
00:42:49You're going to have to declare it
00:42:51We're already in way too deep
00:42:53It'll be fine, babe
00:42:54We just need to hold our nerve
00:42:57Production want me back in London
00:43:04Look, it's okay
00:43:06I'll get the team to check out
00:43:08Whether Jessie
00:43:08You know, changed her identity
00:43:10Or moved abroad
00:43:11And if that doesn't work
00:43:12We can look into other members of your family
00:43:14And see where that takes us
00:43:15Finding Jessie's the only reason I agreed to do this
00:43:19And I'm not ready to give up yet
00:43:22Okay
00:43:24I'm not ready to go
00:43:25There's this little place
00:43:34There's this little place
00:43:35You can't go
00:43:35Okay
00:43:36Okay
00:43:36How many other people
00:43:37You should have德
00:43:50Oh, Vicar, thank God you're there now.
00:44:05I really need your help.
00:44:07I called Freddy, but the police don't trust him.
00:44:11You're the only one I can turn to.
00:44:20Hi.
00:44:29Um, I'd like to stay another night, if that's okay.
00:44:32Oh, no problem.
00:44:33Um, I meant to ask you, um, 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 in 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.
00:44:52Yes, of course.
00:45:04Vicar.
00:45:06Thank God.
00:45:09I'm in the kitchen.
00:45:13Vicar?
00:45:14So, 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, but I did manage to find this.
00:45:31It's a copy of her last school report.
00:45:32It's a copy of her last school report.
00:45:33Oh, wow.
00:45:37Jessica is extremely intelligent, but her rebellious nature makes her stubborn and hard to control.
00:45:44She sounds just like mum.
00:45:48Oh, that's all I have so far.
00:45:50Any developments your end?
00:45:52Yeah.
00:45:53Um, a bike was found in the river today.
00:45:56People believe it could be Jessie's, but that doesn't make any sense.
00:46:00Can you ask your Uncle Richard about it?
00:46:04He made it very clear that the door was closed, but I refuse to give up hope.
00:46:10Well, with or without him, we're getting closer.
00:46:12Is it a coincidence?
00:46:42That a suspect in Johnny Hoxham's murder is now a victim himself?
00:46:46Statistics would say no, sir.
00:46:49Let's find out.
00:46:51Um, Reverend Gideon, we understand that you raised the alarm.
00:46:56Yes, Rufus called me.
00:46:58Sounded dreadful.
00:47:00Although we'd had our differences, he wanted my help.
00:47:04Did he say why?
00:47:05The magnateers pulled a bike out of the river this morning,
00:47:10and Richard Plissol recognised it.
00:47:13He said it belonged to his younger sister, Jessie.
00:47:16I'm sure of it.
00:47:17Why is that significant?
00:47:19Well, it was a bike that Jessie was meant to have left with.
00:47:23According to Richard, her bike had a pair of tartan panniers,
00:47:26and when it was pulled out of the river, only one remained.
00:47:31Rufus told me that he'd found the other pannier
00:47:34in exactly the same part of the river over 30 years ago.
00:47:38Which would be 10 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,
00:48:02and he worried that if it was found in his possession,
00:48:07it 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.
00:48:15And 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.
00:48:22Um, he 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.
00:48:39Come on.
00:48:49Breathe in, gents.
00:48:51It's a bit of a squeeze.
00:48:53You mentioned cardiac issues.
00:48:55Is that what killed him?
00:48:56An arrest has no visible signs,
00:48:58so we'll have to wait for the PM.
00:49:00But I'm concerned that the pile that crushed him
00:49:03was deliberately destabilized.
00:49:06I just need to prove it.
00:49:08So all those equations, of course.
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?
00:49:29It's called the physics of a fall, based on analysis of the trajectory and impact site, angles, laws of motion.
00:49:41Then you can calculate all of that with a tape measure.
00:49:43Laser 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.
00:50:01I moved on with a handsome snowboarder.
00:50:04Not 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.
00:50:23Sir, Rufus Colter told William Gideon that he brought the necklace up from storage.
00:50:29But up from where?
00:50:31It could be an outbuilding or garage further down the hill.
00:50:36Yeah, or a cellar.
00:50:44Huh, the cellar.
00:50:59Well done, Winter.
00:51:00Down you go.
00:51:05I think we found Rufus Colter's gallery, sir.
00:51:23Classic serial killer behavior, sir.
00:51:32Trophies kept symbolize the killer's conquest over their victims.
00:51:36Could Jesse Clisold be one of them?
00:51:38Fleur's trying to ID the recovered body parts from their DNA.
00:51:42It's a long shot, but we might get lucky.
00:51:45We seized the bite that the magneteers pulled from the river.
00:51:48And the contents of the pannier confirmed that it belonged to Jesse Clisold.
00:51:51Anything of interest?
00:51:53An ID with her purse, some cash, and some degraded items of clothing.
00:51:59She clearly intended to leave that day.
00:52:02Richard 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?
00:52:15Our team is still searching the property for it.
00:52:18I don't envy them sifting through that lot.
00:52:21If, as we now believe, that Rufus Colter went down to his cellar to retrieve the necklace,
00:52:29why wasn't it found on his person?
00:52:31How does this connect to Johnny Hoxham's murder?
00:52:35Oh, sir, Fleur's got something for us.
00:52:39Results show that Mr. Colter did indeed suffer a cardiac arrest at the time he was crushed.
00:52:45And my measurements came good, Winter.
00:52:50As you can see, physics suggest the tower was deliberately pushed.
00:52:55But, er, that's not all.
00:52:58Mr. Colter had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator,
00:53:03a preventative measure for those at risk, cardiac arrest.
00:53:07But the device had been deliberately disabled.
00:53:10Oh.
00:53:11By being in close proximity to a powerful magnet.
00:53:15Like a large fishing magnet?
00:53:17Gold Star Winter.
00:53:19It would need to be positioned less than six inches away from his heart,
00:53:24but 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.
00:53:40Rufus Colter's background check has just come in.
00:53:43Oh?
00:53:44Nothing remarkable other than how minted he was given the scholar he lived in.
00:53:48But legal has come up with something interesting.
00:53:50Rufus Colter left everything in his will to Freddie and Gemma Westcott.
00:53:55Oh, sorry. So sorry to bother you, Mrs. Gideon.
00:54:14Your husband said you might be here.
00:54:16I'm Lucy Weaving.
00:54:17Yes, of course.
00:54:19How can I help?
00:54:20I'm trying to trace my Aunt Jessie.
00:54:23Jessica Clisold.
00:54:24I understand you were there when her bike was found?
00:54:27Yes.
00:54:28It was a bit of a shock.
00:54:30Poor Richard seemed very upset.
00:54:35It's probably just a coincidence.
00:54:37But I worry that the recent murders and Jessie's disappearance might be connected somehow.
00:54:43I'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.
00:54:49I spent my youth combing the river, collecting whatever I could find to use in my artworks.
00:54:56That's one of mine all made from mudlarking finds.
00:55:02The river drew William and I together.
00:55:09He's a little bit older than me, but we shared a passion for mudlarking.
00:55:13It's beautiful.
00:55:14Oh, thank you.
00:55:15There's something wonderful about bringing new life to things that would otherwise be lost forever.
00:55:21You didn't seem very upset about Mr. Coulter's death, Mr. Westcott.
00:55:29By how it was expected, given his art condition.
00:55:32But you must have been close for him to make you the sole beneficiaries of his will.
00:55:36And given the state of your business, the timing seems pretty convenient.
00:55:40It's not what you think.
00:55:41Rufus had never been popular in the village.
00:55:43He was eccentric, harmless.
00:55:45He just couldn't let anything go.
00:55:47Which is why he was so angry when Johnny grassed him up.
00:55:51The heritage lot confiscated loads of his most treasured finds.
00:55:54He was distraught.
00:55:56Rufus knew we'd never make old bones.
00:55:58So he asked us to take care of the rest of it after he'd gone.
00:56:01I said yes.
00:56:02And will you?
00:56:04You're joking, aren't you?
00:56:06I'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.
00:56:12But he was hurt, Mrs. Westcott.
00:56:14Quite deliberately.
00:56:16I thought he had heart attack.
00:56:18He did.
00:56:19But his defibrillator implant failed because someone held a magnet over his heart to disable it.
00:56:23Just like the ones you use.
00:56:25Oh, hang on a minute.
00:56:26You clearly had motive given the state of your business.
00:56:29And you knew that the inheritance would solve all your problems.
00:56:32And you had the means.
00:56:34Rufus had his own magnets.
00:56:36Anyone could have done it.
00:56:38Oh, DCI Barnaby.
00:56:47Lucy Weaving.
00:56:48We met briefly on my uncle's doorstep.
00:56:50I remember.
00:56:51This is my colleague, Deus Winter.
00:56:53How can we help?
00:56:54I'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.
00:57:04The vicar's wife says she barely knew her.
00:57:07My 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.
00:57:14I'm pretty sure she's hiding something.
00:57:17Well, thank you, Miss Weaving.
00:57:19Leave it with us.
00:57:20The police are out of me.
00:57:25Gonna 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.
00:57:43Just 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.
00:57:52Backing 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 Jessie Clisold's disappearance.
00:58:06It seems that Clisolds 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.
00:58:19United Heart Death Only Parts.
00:58:23Several people said that they saw Jessie Clisold 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?
00:58:35We need to talk to her.
00:58:38In your statement, you claim that Jessie Clisold got on the train to London with her bike.
00:58:43The same bike that was found in the river this morning.
00:58:46Maybe I was confused. Jessie was never without a bike.
00:58:50It was such a long time ago.
00:58:52But you saw her at the station. You're absolutely sure of that?
00:58:55Of course I'm sure.
00:58:57Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:59:05Thank you for your time.
00:59:07Mary Hamble doesn't strike me as a person who gets confused.
00:59:28I agree. She knows exactly what she saw that day.
00:59:30Well, that's tech.
00:59:35Looks like Rufus Coulter called the vicarage twice before he died.
00:59:39Gideon's phone records reveal that the first call went to voicemail,
00:59:43but was subsequently deleted.
00:59:45And the second call was answered.
00:59:48Reverend Gideon didn't mention a voicemail.
00:59:51Let's see if he's at home.
00:59:53Come on.
01:00:16Reverend Gideon.
01:00:23Sorry to disturb you. We tried the house, but there was no answer.
01:00:28Oh, I lost my bus tricky here.
01:00:30I only skipped spares here somewhere, but no luck so far.
01:00:33How can I help?
01:00:34The calls you received from Rufus Coulter, there seems to be some discrepancy.
01:00:38Two calls were made to the vicarage from Mr. Coulter's mobile.
01:00:41The first one went to voicemail.
01:00:43The message was left that lasted over a minute.
01:00:45The second call was answered.
01:00:48You mentioned the call, but not the message.
01:00:50I never heard it.
01:00:52Generally, I have no idea how that could have happened.
01:00:55My wife was here. I was alone in the house.
01:00:58I see.
01:01:00Well, thank you for your time.
01:01:02We'll see ourselves out.
01:01:08William.
01:01:09I'm so sorry. There's something I haven't told you.
01:01:13I deleted that voicemail.
01:01:15Why?
01:01:16Rufus was so awful to Johnny, and I didn't see why we should help him.
01:01:19I need to tell them the truth.
01:01:20OK.
01:01:22I'll handle it.
01:01:23I'll handle it.
01:01:24I'll handle it.
01:01:25That doesn't matter.
01:01:26Iora.
01:01:27I'll handle it.
01:01:58Up to you old chicks, Coe!
01:02:03Reverend Gideon was the last person
01:02:05to have seen Johnny Hoxham alive,
01:02:07and the first person to have seen Rufus called to dead,
01:02:09or so he claims.
01:02:10He had no explanation for the deleted voicemail,
01:02:14and he failed to pass on the warning about the sinkhole.
01:02:17He had means and opportunity to kill both victims, but...
01:02:20Yes, Winter.
01:02:21What's the motive?
01:02:25We are. OK. All right.
01:02:26Well, we'll be right down.
01:02:28Cole Densmore is in custody.
01:02:30He was caught red-handed stealing lead off the church roof,
01:02:33but says he wants to talk to us.
01:02:34Why?
01:02:35Well, apparently he saw Reverend Gideon acting suspiciously
01:02:37in the churchyard,
01:02:38says he thought he saw him hiding something.
01:02:40Did he now?
01:02:43Cole Densmore said it was on the far side,
01:02:46an old grave under a tree with an urn.
01:02:50Can it be that one?
01:02:54It must be the necklace Rufus Coulter found in Jesse Closol's pannier.
01:03:14What was Reverend Gideon doing with it?
01:03:24Why was he hiding it out here?
01:03:26How was he hiding it out here?
01:03:38Reverend Gideon.
01:03:43You have some explaining to do.
01:03:45I've been praying for guidance, Chief Inspector,
01:03:51and God's answered my prayers.
01:03:53Time's come to confess the truth.
01:03:57Which is what, exactly?
01:04:00Jesse's death was a terrible accident.
01:04:04I, uh, I hit her with my car on the way to the station.
01:04:11I knew I was over the limit,
01:04:13and if the truth came out, then I'd be finished.
01:04:19So you covered it up?
01:04:21Yeah, I, uh...
01:04:26I disposed of her and a bike in the deepest part of the river.
01:04:30I had no idea that the necklace was in her pannier.
01:04:35Why did that matter?
01:04:37Uh...
01:04:39Well, Jesse had always admired the shilling,
01:04:42so I had it made into a necklace
01:04:44or 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,
01:04:57as had the Gazards, Alice's parents.
01:05:00It was then they encouraged me
01:05:03to follow Reverend Clisold into the ministry.
01:05:07But prior to my ordination,
01:05:09I'd taken up a curacy in London,
01:05:12and I'd found the coin,
01:05:14a, uh, rare 1819 George III gold-plated shilling,
01:05:19mud larking in the Thames,
01:05:21where one is obliged to have
01:05:23all significant fines officially recorded.
01:05:26So I knew when Rufus found it
01:05:30that it could be traced back to me.
01:05:34And rather than help Rufus,
01:05:36you decided to retrieve the necklace
01:05:38and silence him?
01:05:40Yeah, 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,
01:05:55and...
01:05:56I feared that she felt the same,
01:05:59and I-I-I was terrified of...
01:06:02of losing her.
01:06:05So you lured him to his death?
01:06:09Yeah.
01:06:13I have no excuse for any of it, Chief Inspector.
01:06:16It was all a kind of madness,
01:06:18for 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,
01:06:24too studied, too neat.
01:06:25Like the last act of a play.
01:06:26If he is telling the truth,
01:06:27then you know someone else who must be lying.
01:06:29It just seems...
01:06:30too studied, too neat.
01:06:31Like the last act of a play.
01:06:33If he is telling the truth,
01:06:34then you know someone else who must be lying.
01:06:38That statement I made 40 years ago,
01:06:41it was a lie.
01:06:42I never saw Jesse at the station.
01:06:44So why make that statement?
01:06:45Because I was asked to.
01:06:47But when Lucy Weaving started breaking all this up again,
01:06:50I was like,
01:06:51I was like...
01:06:52you know,
01:06:53you know,
01:06:54you know,
01:06:55you know,
01:06:56you know,
01:06:58you know,
01:06:59the fact that Lucy will be
01:07:00a lie.
01:07:01And then you know,
01:07:02and then you know,
01:07:03you know,
01:07:04you know,
01:07:05you know,
01:07:07I'm so tired.
01:07:08And you know,
01:07:09that's how you tell me.
01:07:10You know,
01:07:11you know,
01:07:12you know,
01:07:13you know,
01:07:14started raking 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.
01:07:24Is that who asked you to lie?
01:07:25No.
01:07:27It was Richard Clisold.
01:07:30Can you tell us why?
01:07:33Richard caught Jessie stealing their mother's jewellery.
01:07:36She told him she was leaving.
01:07:38Said if he stopped her,
01:07:40then she'd make it her business to bring shame on the family.
01:07:44Well, Richard couldn't risk that happening.
01:07:46So we let her go
01:07:47and then asked me to say I'd seen her at the station
01:07:50to stop people asking questions.
01:07:53Why did you agree to her?
01:07:56At the time, I half believed I was in love with him.
01:08:01I'd have done anything he asked.
01:08:03But now, I'm wondering if I helped him get away with murder.
01:08:08So, William confessed to killing Jessica.
01:08:16He's also confessed to the murders of Johnny Hoxham
01:08:19and Rufus Coulter.
01:08:22So he lied
01:08:23to everyone?
01:08:27As did you, Mr. Clisold.
01:08:30Forty years ago.
01:08:32You asked Mary Hamble to give a false statement
01:08:34about your sister, Jessie's departure.
01:08:43Mary 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
01:08:51to stop any further questions being asked.
01:08:55Why would you do that?
01:08:56My father
01:08:58was the subject
01:09:00of some vile rumors.
01:09:03Jessie threatened to tell
01:09:05the church community
01:09:06that they were all true.
01:09:08What did you do?
01:09:09I tried to persuade Jessie to stay,
01:09:12but she said she would only do that
01:09:13if our father's hypocrisy
01:09:15was exposed.
01:09:18The coward in me
01:09:19couldn't face the truth,
01:09:21so we struck a deal.
01:09:22I would allow her to leave
01:09:25without raising the alarm,
01:09:27but she could never return.
01:09:29I blamed it all on her,
01:09:31but in truth,
01:09:33my parents were to blame
01:09:36for all her pain.
01:09:38What do you mean?
01:09:39They should have tried
01:09:39to understand Jessie.
01:09:41Instead of farming her out
01:09:43to a school for girls
01:09:44with troubled,
01:09:45often violent backgrounds,
01:09:48it was then she started
01:09:49calling herself Leo.
01:09:51Leo?
01:09:52Why?
01:09:53Because lions are wild,
01:09:56powerful,
01:09:57brave,
01:09:58all the things she needed to be
01:09:59in order to survive.
01:10:02I loved my father too much.
01:10:05If the truth came out,
01:10:06it would have destroyed him.
01:10:10But that poor girl
01:10:12was my sister,
01:10:15innocent of any wrongdoing.
01:10:19I should have protected her.
01:10:22Not him.
01:10:28That was too weak.
01:10:34Here you go, love.
01:10:36Oh, and this came for you,
01:10:38Miss Weaven.
01:10:39Okay.
01:10:41Who delivered it?
01:10:42No idea.
01:10:42I found it on the table outside.
01:10:45The victim's been arrested.
01:10:47Seen to the old hypocrites
01:10:47behind all of it,
01:10:48including what happened
01:10:50to your aunt.
01:10:51I always knew that man
01:10:51was a wrong'un.
01:10:52Are you absolutely sure?
01:10:53100%.
01:10:54I saw the cop was taken away
01:10:56and after all that
01:10:57finger pointing at me.
01:11:03Yeah, we're on our way there now.
01:11:05I'll let them know
01:11:06to expect you.
01:11:06That was the Heritage Crime Unit.
01:11:10Our search into Freddie Westcott
01:11:11brought them to us.
01:11:12Looks like his dodgy deals
01:11:14are about to catch up.
01:11:15Oh, let's give him the good news.
01:11:18I'll try and get hold of Sarah,
01:11:20see if she's got anywhere
01:11:21with Jesse Clissell's school records.
01:11:24We know that she was mixing
01:11:26with troubled, violent pupils,
01:11:29but did she have
01:11:31any particular friends
01:11:32or enemies?
01:11:34Sarah might have some answers.
01:11:39Ah, you found you
01:11:40a real murderer then?
01:11:41Told you we had nothing
01:11:41to do with it.
01:11:43And we are going to be very rich
01:11:44through no fault of our own.
01:11:47Indeed, though you might have
01:11:49to serve a prison sentence
01:11:50before you can enjoy it.
01:11:51Remember that man
01:11:52that you sold
01:11:53the Anglo-Saxon figurine to?
01:11:55The same man you
01:11:55and Cole Densmore
01:11:56had on speed dial
01:11:58to offload all your
01:11:59mudlarking contraband.
01:12:01Well, it turns out
01:12:01that he works undercover
01:12:02at the Heritage Crime Union,
01:12:04and they've been following
01:12:05your under-the-counter dealings
01:12:06for months.
01:12:08In fact, they're
01:12:08on their way here now.
01:12:11Hello?
01:12:13I'm so sorry to bother you,
01:12:15but I heard about your husband.
01:12:17It must have been
01:12:17a terrible shock.
01:12:18It's almost impossible
01:12:20to believe.
01:12:21William's just not capable.
01:12:26Someone just left me this.
01:12:28Leave now,
01:12:32or you'll be next.
01:12:34If William was already
01:12:35in custody when it was delivered,
01:12:36then it can't be him.
01:12:38And why would he threaten me
01:12:39if 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
01:12:46and make us some sweet tea?
01:12:49I think we could both do with it.
01:13:28Let Lucy Weaving know
01:13:32about Reverend Gideon's confession
01:13:34before the press
01:13:35get a hold of it.
01:13:39Hey.
01:13:40I finally managed to speak
01:13:41to one of the nuns
01:13:42who taught at Everglade House.
01:13:44She remembered Jesse well,
01:13:45but when I asked her
01:13:45about friends,
01:13:46she said she only had one.
01:13:47Alice Gazard.
01:13:49Gazard?
01:13:50That's Alice Gideon's maiden name.
01:13:52She told Lucy Weaving
01:13:53that they barely knew each other.
01:13:54According to Sister Maria,
01:13:55they were kindred spirits.
01:13:57Both had experienced
01:13:57painful rejection
01:13:58by their families
01:13:59and became inseparable.
01:14:00But Alice still lived
01:14:01with her parents.
01:14:02No, her adoptive parents.
01:14:04Alice was abandoned at birth
01:14:05and taken in by the Catholic school
01:14:07attached to the convent.
01:14:08Sister Maria handled
01:14:09her first fostering placement.
01:14:10It was terminated
01:14:12after an act of extreme violence.
01:14:15What happened?
01:14:18The incident took place
01:14:20after Mrs. Marchmont
01:14:21informed Alice
01:14:22that she would be returning her
01:14:24to the convent.
01:14:25She told Alice
01:14:26she had been a great disappointment
01:14:28and not the daughter she wanted.
01:14:30As Mrs. Marchmont walked away,
01:14:32Alice picked up
01:14:33one of Mr. Marchmont's golf clubs
01:14:35and struck her across
01:14:36the back of the head
01:14:37with such force
01:14:38that it fractured her skull.
01:14:41She was only eight years old.
01:14:43It says here
01:14:43that the Gazards
01:14:44took her in within weeks.
01:14:45I mean, how's that even possible?
01:14:46Well, a decision was made
01:14:47not to reveal what happened.
01:14:48Sister Maria thought
01:14:49that was wrong
01:14:50so she kept a copy of her records.
01:14:52The Gazards were advised
01:14:53to keep Alice at the same school
01:14:54to avoid further disruption
01:14:55and Jesse Clissel
01:14:57joined her there
01:14:58when she was 13.
01:14:59So Alice Gideon
01:14:59lied about everything.
01:15:01And her husband's confession
01:15:02seemed too studied,
01:15:03too neat,
01:15:04because it was.
01:15:06It was lying to protect Alice.
01:15:08Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:19Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:25Where the house's all locked up,
01:15:27there's no answer.
01:15:27Let's try the studio.
01:15:36Lucy's in there.
01:15:37Get in there.
01:15:37Ambulance.
01:15:43Stay there, sir.
01:15:44The vicarage callsworthy.
01:15:47Lucy.
01:15:47Come on.
01:15:57Blood force trauma to the head.
01:16:07With a dose of gas-induced
01:16:09asphyxiation for good measure.
01:16:12This bottle of ammonia
01:16:13is the culprit.
01:16:14Go on.
01:16:15When boiled,
01:16:18pure ammonia
01:16:18becomes a highly concentrated gas.
01:16:22Extremely dangerous to inhale.
01:16:24When diluted with water,
01:16:25it can also be used to strip metal.
01:16:27Something Alice Gideon might use
01:16:29to clean her mud-locking finds.
01:16:41What are you thinking, sir?
01:16:42Well, to quote Richard Clishold,
01:16:45I'm getting my eye in.
01:16:48Mud-lockers look for treasures
01:16:50that are unseen by most,
01:16:54but not invisible to all.
01:16:56And I think I've found one.
01:17:01Leo.
01:17:02Sir?
01:17:04Jesse Clishold's alter ego
01:17:06was a lion.
01:17:07She called herself Leo.
01:17:10The jewellery that Jesse stole
01:17:12on the day she left
01:17:13included a posy ring.
01:17:15And a part of this lion's eye
01:17:20is a ring displaying
01:17:22the French word mort.
01:17:25Death.
01:17:26Well, the wording
01:17:27on the stolen ring was in English.
01:17:28Ah, but these rings
01:17:29were often engraved in French
01:17:31on the outside
01:17:32and English on the inside.
01:17:37As in this case,
01:17:39unis les coeurs,
01:17:41la mort ne fait que séparer.
01:17:44And on the inside,
01:17:47united hearts,
01:17:49death only parts.
01:17:52Jesse Clishold had the ring
01:17:54in her possession
01:17:54when she left for London.
01:17:56So what is it doing
01:17:58in Alice Gideon's studio?
01:18:01We need to ask her
01:18:02before she does any more harm.
01:18:03Sir.
01:18:14Jesse Clishold
01:18:14is going to live,
01:18:15Mrs. Gideon,
01:18:16despite your best efforts.
01:18:17We found the ring
01:18:18that Jesse Clishold
01:18:19stole from her mother
01:18:19on the day
01:18:20that she left home.
01:18:20You need to understand
01:18:21how it came to be
01:18:22in your possession.
01:18:23You need to tell us
01:18:24exactly what happened,
01:18:25Mrs. Gideon.
01:18:26Before I do,
01:18:33I need you to know
01:18:34that I loved her
01:18:56and that she loved me.
01:18:58We could never be together here, so we'd made a plan to leave,
01:19:02go somewhere they'd never find us, but I couldn't go through with it.
01:19:06I was only 17.
01:19:09William and I were already engaged.
01:19:11He offered me safety and stability.
01:19:16Things that had eluded you as a child.
01:19:19We know that you were rejected by your birth mother
01:19:24and then by your foster family.
01:19:26I started to think, what if Jessie abandoned me to?
01:19:32I'd have no one.
01:19:34So I panicked, begged her to stay.
01:19:38I needed more time.
01:19:39No one knew we were even friends.
01:19:42But she said it was too late, that if I didn't go with her,
01:19:45she was going to tell William the truth.
01:19:46I thought she was bluffing, but she was deadly serious.
01:19:51William had given me the necklace as an engagement present.
01:19:53A talisman to keep me safe.
01:19:58Jessie said she was going to give it back to William.
01:20:01Tell him I didn't need it.
01:20:03What do you think you're doing?
01:20:04She was my lover and protector now.
01:20:07Give me back!
01:20:08No, leave me alone!
01:20:09Stop it!
01:20:10Get off!
01:20:11What are you doing?
01:20:12You struck her violently from behind.
01:20:37Just as you'd struck Mrs. Marchmont.
01:20:40Almost killing her, too.
01:20:41I felt no remorse for what I did to that woman.
01:20:44But I didn't mean to hurt Jessie.
01:20:46I loved her.
01:20:48You could have come clean about it, but instead you decided to cover it up.
01:20:53I knew that the water was deepest under the bridge.
01:20:56But your necklace was still in the jacket, in the pannier bag, evidence that you feared might put you at the scene of Jessie's death.
01:21:08By the time I realised that it was too late, I still had to hide her body.
01:21:13And you knew the river like the back of your hand.
01:21:15I remembered there's a deep hollow in the bank just around the bend in the river.
01:21:20I 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?
01:21:35But 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.
01:21:51We'd been mudlarking at Hollybrook.
01:21:53I 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?
01:22:01Oh, um, 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.
01:22:17Good idea.
01:22:18Great.
01:22:19And 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.
01:22:44Help.
01:22:46Somebody.
01:22:48Please.
01:22:50Help me.
01:22:52Please.
01:22:52Please.
01:22:58First, you tried to implicate Cole Densmore by saying that you'd seen him at the river.
01:23:04And then you got lucky.
01:23:05Rufus 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.
01:23:14You 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?
01:23:30William 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.
01:23:51And 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, that
01:24:01I'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.
01:24:10Vicar?
01:24:20And you didn't leave anything to chance, did you?
01:24:23You found one of Mr. Coulter's fishing magnets and placed it on his chest to ensure his silence.
01:24:28What?
01:24:29But then your husband found the necklace by chance.
01:24:54William had lost his key.
01:24:59He knew that I kept spares in the studio.
01:25:00He must have been looking for mine when he found the necklace.
01:25:07Reverend Gideon.
01:25:08And when he found it, your husband realized that you'd got to Rufus Coulter before he did,
01:25:21that you'd lied to cover your tracks, and that you'd been with Jessie Clisseld when she died.
01:25:27And so he confessed to all of it in order to protect you.
01:25:31And you let him.
01:25:32But you knew you were still in danger as long as Lucy Weaving was still asking questions.
01:25:38That's why I wrote the note, just to frighten her into leaving.
01:25:42But while you were out delivering your note, your husband was making his confession.
01:25:46That wasn't part of the plan.
01:25:49Lucy realized that if William had been arrested, then he couldn't have left the note.
01:25:52I just needed to buy myself some time, so I told her that I would make tea, call the police.
01:25:58Then, as I left, I saw her staring at Leo.
01:26:06I knew in that moment that she was close to the truth,
01:26:10that there would be questions that I wouldn't be able to answer.
01:26:18It was too late to stop.
01:26:22Your husband's been released.
01:26:30He'd like to talk to you, but you're under no obligation.
01:26:33No.
01:26:34I want to.
01:26:44I always thought you were fragile, Alice.
01:26:47Needed my protection.
01:26:50But the one you've become, I don't recognize.
01:26:53She's not my Alice.
01:26:54She's always been there, William.
01:26:58I just learned how to keep her well hidden,
01:27:00because no one's ever loved or wanted that Alice.
01:27:05Except Jessie.
01:27:09You'll need to tell us exactly where she is.
01:27:12She's downstream, in the hollow.
01:27:22I've already said my goodbyes.
01:27:28I am so sorry, William.
01:27:30You're a natural detective, Sarah.
01:27:43Well, only if it's history related.
01:27:45But when it is, you're like a dog with a bone.
01:27:48Oh, not again, Paddy.
01:27:51We're going to have to get rid of that rug, Sarah.
01:27:53Hey.
01:27:55Hey.
01:27:58It's the silver eternity bracelet you got me when I had Betty.
01:28:01You lost that years ago.
01:28:02Oh, and I'm very grateful to have him back.
01:28:05Good boy.
01:28:06Seems like Paddy's good at solving mysteries, too.
01:28:10Well, maybe you should take him mudlarking.
01:28:12He might be able to help you find that watch you lost when you went fishing.
01:28:14Oh, that's a great idea.
01:28:16What do you say, Detective Paddy?
01:28:17Do you want to go fishing again?
01:28:19Go on, then.
01:28:19See if you can find my wellies.
01:28:21Oh, oh, oh.
01:28:48Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:28:55Oh, oh, oh.
