00:00:00This stretch of the river can be unpredictable after so much rain.
00:00:16I suggest we've got to move on before it floods.
00:00:18Yeah, we could be standing on what was once the pilgrim route to Causton Abbey.
00:00:24Maybe. Today's the day, Vicar.
00:00:26I might finally find the Thomas Beckett badge to complete my collection.
00:00:31That's a rare badge, Johnny. Let's pray turn here somewhere.
00:00:38The mudlarks are up to something at Hollybrook. Reckon they must have had a tip-off.
00:00:43Say no more, mate. Yeah, yeah. We'll meet you down there.
00:00:46Rufus, get that down your neck. We've got work to do.
00:00:48Gemma, get the van loaded up.
00:00:52Mudlarks are at Hollybrook.
00:00:54What about the bar?
00:00:55Well, Gary can cover for a couple of hours, but we need to get there now.
00:00:58You must be honest, I mean.
00:01:07Dad, he's done it again.
00:01:09Hmm?
00:01:11Oh, not again, Paddy. That's the third time this afternoon.
00:01:14How much stuff have you got buried out there?
00:01:16Oh, sorry, Sarah. I couldn't stop it.
00:01:19Oh, never mind that now. I've got some exciting news.
00:01:21I have just been asked to do some local research for pastimes.
00:01:25The Ancestry Show?
00:01:27Yeah. They got in touch through the Historical Society.
00:01:29Are you going to be on TV?
00:01:30Well, it looks like it, yeah.
00:01:31And who's the subject?
00:01:33Oh, I'm sorry, darling, but it's a need-to-know basis only.
00:01:37But if you wouldn't mind clearing this mess up.
00:01:40I've got some work to do.
00:01:44Last time, okay?
00:01:46Or I'm calling the pound.
00:01:47Everything all right, Richard?
00:02:11Some ghastly Ancestry Show keeps calling me.
00:02:15Hannah's daughter is now a well-known actress, apparently.
00:02:18They want my help to find Jessica.
00:02:20As if I'd had the first idea.
00:02:25As if the day couldn't get any worse.
00:02:27This is a historical site of great interest of the Dean of Causton.
00:02:39We're here at his official invitation.
00:02:41Last time I heard, this stretch of the river is on Jacob Mitchell's land.
00:02:45It's nothing to do with the Dean.
00:02:46Nevertheless, your high-strength magnets can do untold damage.
00:02:49You have no business here.
00:02:51You're so sure about that, Rev.
00:02:53Call the police.
00:02:54We already know Johnny's a grass.
00:02:57You'd probably call them already.
00:02:58If you're intent on being unreasonable, I suppose I can't stop you.
00:03:02Glad to see we're on the same page, Vicar.
00:03:04Good one, Jem.
00:03:06Let's get organised, lads.
00:03:10Damn cheek.
00:03:11Who do they think they are?
00:03:12We just have to do our best to avoid them.
00:03:16Easier said than done.
00:03:19Ready, Jem?
00:03:20I was born ready.
00:03:22Hello, guys, and welcome.
00:03:24Back to the Midsomer Magneteer's Channel.
00:03:26And what a lovely day for it.
00:03:29I'm afraid this is the only family photograph my mother kept.
00:03:35Those are my grandparents with my mother Hannah,
00:03:38her sister Jessie, and their brother Richard.
00:03:40She was estranged from all of them.
00:03:42It's something she never talked about.
00:03:44So what made her change her mind?
00:03:48She knew she didn't have long left.
00:03:49I wanted to get her house in order before it was too late.
00:03:53But I could see how painful it was for her to go back there.
00:03:58Why is that?
00:04:00Jessie was her baby sister.
00:04:01The only member of her family she ever cared about.
00:04:04But she felt she had to cut off from all of them in order to survive.
00:04:10That's why I'm doing this.
00:04:11To honour Mum's dying wish.
00:04:14To find Jessie and tell her how much she loved her.
00:04:18And how guilty she felt for abandoning her.
00:04:20Well, all we know so far is that your family came from a village called Galsworthy in Midsomer.
00:04:27Okay.
00:04:28Your uncle still lives there but he's reluctant to get involved.
00:04:33So, where do we go from here?
00:04:35To Galsworthy.
00:04:36Okay.
00:04:37So I've booked us into the village pub and set up a meeting tomorrow with a local historian.
00:04:42Just ask her to see what she can come up with.
00:04:44And your uncle, I'll just keep trying.
00:04:46I don't want to upset him.
00:04:47It's a bit of a bolt from the blue.
00:04:49Yeah, sometimes people, they just need a bit of a nudge.
00:04:55All he can say is no.
00:05:19If you insist on being here, the least you can do is stick to your own area.
00:05:23I'll go wherever I like.
00:05:25Just trying to wind us up, Richard.
00:05:28Don't give him the satisfaction.
00:05:29Rufus used to be a friend.
00:05:31Can we all just try and be civil?
00:05:32You can't be civil with these barbarians.
00:05:35Hey!
00:05:37What the hell are you playing at?
00:05:38Sorry, mate.
00:05:40Didn't see you there.
00:05:41Just that right.
00:05:42Come on then, let's have it.
00:05:43See who comes off worse.
00:05:44What do you think you're doing, Eddie?
00:05:50Richard.
00:05:53I need your expert opinion.
00:05:56My card.
00:05:58Looks like an ampulla from the Thomas Beckett shrine.
00:06:01That was in my bucket.
00:06:03Belongs to me.
00:06:04You only found it by chance.
00:06:06Lead isn't even magnetic.
00:06:08Finders keepers, Johnny boy.
00:06:09And by the way you're all looking at it,
00:06:11must be worth a bob or two.
00:06:12The ampulla and the Thomas Beckett badge
00:06:14you often found together.
00:06:16Where were you casting when you found it?
00:06:17And why would I tell you that?
00:06:19Might be loads more of them.
00:06:20Well, then I'll tell the police
00:06:21about the old gun you found in the lake
00:06:23and didn't declare.
00:06:25You're still out on license.
00:06:26Aren't you, Colt?
00:06:27They'll send you straight back.
00:06:29Johnny.
00:06:31I'll kill you first.
00:06:37Not worth it, Johnny.
00:06:38If it's here, you'll find it.
00:06:42Let's have a look.
00:06:46What do you think?
00:06:52Well, he's right.
00:06:53Here's Lear.
00:06:53That's good.
00:07:04Richard?
00:07:06Don't open it!
00:07:07Oh!
00:07:08Oh, fuck.
00:07:10Oh, fuck.
00:07:11ORGAN PLAYS
00:07:41ORGAN PLAYS
00:08:12It's a Wiccan jar, also known as a witch's jar, probably 17th century.
00:08:18Unopened, they were thought to protect against the spirits of evil.
00:08:22But if the seal was broken, the forces of evil were believed to be set free.
00:08:27So I've unleashed evil on myself.
00:08:30Oh, superstitious nonsense.
00:08:32It gets worse if the jar is open near water.
00:08:36It's said that the ghosts of the foreshore come back to life to take their victims with them.
00:08:43Don't listen to him, Johnny.
00:08:44Thanks for watching, guys.
00:08:50And if you haven't already, don't forget to like and subscribe.
00:08:52All merch available via the link.
00:08:54Happy magnetarian!
00:08:56Bye, then.
00:08:58See you tomorrow.
00:08:59Thinking of coming to the Blessing of the River Ceremony.
00:09:01I've seen the light at last.
00:09:03Now, that would be a miracle.
00:09:04But if there are blessings to be had, then why shouldn't we have some of them?
00:09:09No, it's you lot who need to get lucky.
00:09:11Not us.
00:09:12That's just a tear.
00:09:13Don't ever get up in time.
00:09:15One can but hope.
00:09:16I'm heading back.
00:09:19Yeah, me too.
00:09:19I'm getting cold.
00:09:20I can give you a lift.
00:09:22Thanks.
00:09:22I'd rather walk.
00:09:24Johnny?
00:09:27William, shall I take the jar?
00:09:29Someone needs to report it.
00:09:33The jar?
00:09:33Yeah, yeah.
00:09:34That'd be much appreciated.
00:09:39William, is there something wrong?
00:09:42No, no.
00:09:43Everything's fine.
00:09:46What if I can't see you?
00:09:48Uh-uh.
00:10:03Huh.
00:10:09Uh-oh.
00:10:09Huh.
00:10:12Oh, my God.
00:10:13Huh.
00:10:16It's time for letting me know, Jacob.
00:10:39Yeah, of course, of course.
00:10:40I'll make sure everyone's aware.
00:10:42Okay.
00:10:42Bye.
00:10:44Damn!
00:10:46Salmon.
00:10:49Alice!
00:11:01I'm going to find out, Mum.
00:11:04I promise.

00:11:39Oh, hello.
00:11:41What?
00:11:43What?
00:11:45Are you sure about that?
00:11:47No, oh, no, no, hold on a second.
00:11:49I-I just need to write this down.
00:11:51Hang on.
00:12:09Help!
00:12:37Help!
00:12:39Somebody! Help!
00:12:41Please!
00:12:51Here we reach the shining river
00:12:55Lay we every burning down
00:12:59Grace our spirits will deliver
00:13:03And provide us the rule and crown
00:13:07Yes, we will gather round the river
00:13:11The beautiful, the beautiful river
00:13:15Gather with the saints at the river
00:13:19That close by the throne of God
00:13:23Morning, vicar
00:13:25The shining river
00:13:27You see that, look. He's really not happy
00:13:29Judge not, lest ye be judged
00:13:33Isn't that what the Bible says?
00:13:35Yeah, but the man's a hypocrite
00:13:37Yeah, but the man's a hypocrite
00:13:39Preaches one thing, does the opposite
00:13:41Well at least he's not a Judas
00:13:43Like Johnny
00:13:45Talking of Johnny, where is he?
00:13:49Right, we've made our point. Let's go to the pub
00:13:51Are we here now?
00:13:53Bless him, won't do any of us any harm
00:13:55Especially you, Cole
00:13:57Gracious God
00:13:59We pray for all those poor souls
00:14:01Lost to our rivers and waterways
00:14:03Who these flowers represent
00:14:05Who these flowers represent
00:14:07In Christianity, water can symbolize both life and death
00:14:12And is a central symbol in the sacrament of baptism
00:14:16A moment of spiritual purification
00:14:20Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
00:14:26Ah, morning, Jamie.
00:14:37Do you want to be down in the cell?
00:14:38Thanks.
00:14:39Oh, you're looking very glamorous for a school day.
00:14:42Ah, but it's not a school day winter.
00:14:44Far from it.
00:14:45Mum's going to be on TV.
00:14:47Oh, that's exciting.
00:14:47What's the show?
00:14:48Pastimes.
00:14:49They've asked me to advise on some local history.
00:14:52I just hope mixing with the glitterati doesn't turn your head.
00:14:55It'll be Hollywood next, sir.
00:14:56Oh, quite fancy a life of sun surfing celebrity drama.
00:15:01What do you think?
00:15:01You give any film star a run for her money.
00:15:04I don't know about that, but thank you.
00:15:06Right, sir, time we left for our decidedly unglamorous day job.
00:15:09Oh, I don't know.
00:15:10There's always the potential for a bit of real-life drama.
00:15:12Can you get your stuff to go through?
00:15:13Go for what you wish for, sir.
00:15:14DCI Barnaby.
00:15:25Good morning.
00:15:26Not so good for our victim.
00:15:28Cause of death?
00:15:29Drowning.
00:15:30And by the look of him, I reckon he'd been in the water no longer than 24 hours.
00:15:35There have been reports of a sinkhole in the stretch of river.
00:15:40And sinkholes combined with silt can be a particularly dangerous domination.
00:15:45So no evidence of foul play?
00:15:47Not obviously.
00:15:48Then, um, what am I doing here?
00:15:51According to witnesses on the scene, the victim was a local man last seen alive yesterday evening.
00:15:56His jacket was found along with a bag containing a phone, a wallet and a notebook.
00:16:01He confirmed his identity as Jonathan David Hoxham.
00:16:04This was found in the pocket.
00:16:09Memento mori is Latin.
00:16:11It means remember that you have to die.
00:16:14Who knew Winter could speak Latin?
00:16:17You're wasted as a plod.
00:16:18I'm not a...
00:16:19I'm a detective.
00:16:21Detective Sergeant.
00:16:22Sir?
00:16:22It's so easy to wind up.
00:16:24It's delicious.
00:16:25If we could possibly get back to the matter at hand.
00:16:28I won't know any more until I've done the post-vortum.
00:16:31I'll be in fudge.
00:16:36So our victim had a reminder of the inevitability of death and then turns up drowned.
00:16:42Hmm.
00:16:43So why did he come here?
00:16:44Was he meeting someone?
00:16:46Digital forensics trying to unlock his phone.
00:16:49Where exactly was the body found?
00:16:52Into the jetty, sir.
00:16:53Reverend William Gideon was conducting a river blessing when his wife saw the body in the water.
00:16:58He and his mudlarking group were here yesterday afternoon and Johnny Hoxham was a key member.
00:17:04According to Mrs. Gideon, there was another mudlarking group here at the same time, but they left before he did.
00:17:09Were the Gideons that asked people to see Mr. Hoxham alive?
00:17:12Yeah.
00:17:13Said he was going home and left alone.
00:17:15Mrs. Gideon can't understand why he came back.
00:17:18Well, let's talk to both groups.
00:17:20We'll find out if anything happened yesterday that might, um, shed some light.
00:17:24Sorry.
00:17:29I'm just going to go, thank you.
00:17:30Bye-bye.
00:17:32This is my name.
00:17:35Dan Peasey.
00:17:36Gemstone Television.
00:17:37Dan Peasey, Gemstone Television.
00:17:48We're here to see Richard Clissot.
00:17:50So he's expecting you?
00:17:52Absolutely.
00:17:53He's not back yet?
00:17:55We're happy to wait.
00:18:03Johnny Hogson was a devout member of the St. Leonard's family
00:18:06and a passionate member of the Midsommar Mudlocks.
00:18:09His loss is a tragedy for the whole village community.
00:18:12Did Mr. Hogson have any enemies?
00:18:15But it was an accident, surely.
00:18:17Yeah, we have to keep an open mind at this stage, Mrs. Gideon.
00:18:21I understand you were the last people to see Mr. Hogson.
00:18:25Well, technically, that was William.
00:18:27I started walking home while they were still at the river.
00:18:30Yeah, Johnny left soon after.
00:18:32Richard Clissot was offered him a lift earlier, but he declined.
00:18:36And Richard Clissot is?
00:18:37He's a fellow Mudlock and an old family friend.
00:18:41I took over the ministry when his father retired.
00:18:45Did anything happen at the river that could have upset Mr. Hogson?
00:18:53New research suggested that there could have been a pilgrim hostel near Holybrook.
00:18:58Johnny was hoping to find a rare Thomas Beckett badge to complete his collection.
00:19:03Then an ampulla badge was found by Cole Densmore,
00:19:07a member of the Midsommar Magneteers, another mudlarking group in the area.
00:19:11The ampulla and Thomas Beckett badge are often found together,
00:19:14so Johnny got excited that he might find one in the same location,
00:19:19but Cole refused to tell him exactly where he found it.
00:19:22In fact, Cole seemed to be enjoying taunting him, but that wasn't unusual.
00:19:28What do you mean?
00:19:29Well, the mudlarks are keen historians and ecologists.
00:19:32We research respectfully for evidence of the past
00:19:35in order to build collections of local historical importance.
00:19:39And the Midsommar Magneteers?
00:19:41Well, they use heavy, high-strength magnets
00:19:43to amass large quantities of metal for cash.
00:19:47Their gung-ho attitude causes untold damage to the environment.
00:19:51Which is a source of conflict?
00:19:54Yeah, unfortunately, yes.
00:19:56There was something else.
00:19:58Johnny found a rare Wiccan jar in the river.
00:20:01Witches what, exactly?
00:20:03A sealed 17th-century witch's jar,
00:20:06believed to curse whoever opens it.
00:20:08But, sadly, that was Johnny.
00:20:12Yeah, as a Christian, I abhor superstition,
00:20:14but it's an unfortunate coincidence
00:20:17that Johnny died later that day.
00:20:21Where is this jar now?
00:20:23Richard took it with him.
00:20:25Significant artefacts need to be registered.
00:20:28Where might I find him?
00:20:30They're waiting in the sitting room.
00:20:41What on earth are they doing here?
00:20:43They said you were expecting them.
00:20:45I didn't know what to do.
00:20:47Go home, Mary.
00:20:49I'll deal with this.
00:20:55Mr. Clisold.
00:20:56I thought I made myself perfectly clear.
00:20:58We were in the area,
00:20:59and your niece was very keen to meet you.
00:21:04Uncle Richard.
00:21:06I'm Lucy.
00:21:08Hannah's daughter.
00:21:11Fine.
00:21:12I'll answer your questions.
00:21:14But under no circumstances
00:21:16will I appear on your television programme.
00:21:18Is that understood?
00:21:20Perfectly.
00:21:20These bills need paying today.
00:21:26It's all under control, Jem.
00:21:27I can't tax on his way.
00:21:29What if you get caught?
00:21:30Things are getting out of hand.
00:21:32Fine.
00:21:32Mr and Mrs. Westcott.
00:21:34DS Winter.
00:21:35Causton CID.
00:21:37What can we do for you?
00:21:38Body was found in the river this morning.
00:21:40I know.
00:21:40I was there.
00:21:41No one knew what was going on.
00:21:42He's now been formally identified as Johnny Hoxham.
00:21:45He drowned near where you were mudlarking yesterday afternoon.
00:21:47Johnny?
00:21:47But why would he go back in there after the warning?
00:21:51What warning?
00:21:51I got a call from Jacob Mitchell.
00:21:53He farms the land around Hollybrook.
00:21:55One of his lads had seen us heading down there.
00:21:58Jacob's lost sheep to a sinkhole in the river,
00:22:00and he wanted us to know exactly where it was.
00:22:02So I put an alert on the magnateer's chap.
00:22:05Did you share that information with the mudlarks?
00:22:06Well, I didn't have to.
00:22:07Jacob said he'd already told the vicar.
00:22:11We understand that there's some unfriendly rivalry
00:22:14between you and the mudlarks.
00:22:15Was there any friction at Hollybrook?
00:22:16Just the usual sparring banter.
00:22:21I see you've got your own channel.
00:22:23Over 5,000 followers now.
00:22:26Did you film any content yesterday?
00:22:28Yeah, but nothing interesting.
00:22:31I'll still need to see it.
00:22:33It's so strange.
00:22:35My mother grew up in this beautiful house,
00:22:38but I had no idea it even existed until yesterday.
00:22:40Unfortunately, your mother rejected our family in the most hurtful and destructive way.
00:22:46Jessica always admired her, so followed suit.
00:22:48How can you be sure Jessica didn't want to come back?
00:22:52She left a note, making herself very clear.
00:22:55My father kept it.
00:22:59In case there was ever any doubt.
00:23:04As you can see, she despised us and everything we stood for,
00:23:09and states quite clearly she wishes no one to come after her.
00:23:13Leo.
00:23:14Yeah.
00:23:15But the letter is signed Leo.
00:23:17She saw herself as a lion, caged here against her will.
00:23:21Calling herself Leo was another way of further distancing herself from us.
00:23:25Is it okay if I photograph it?
00:23:27No, it is not.
00:23:29Did your parents notify the police when she left?
00:23:32My father was obliged to report it,
00:23:34but since there were no suspicious circumstances, that was the end of it.
00:23:38And they never tried to contact her?
00:23:41My parents had to draw a line.
00:23:45We had to get on with our own lives.
00:23:47What exactly happened the night she left?
00:23:50If you'll excuse me,
00:23:52I need to talk to a police officer about the tragic death of a friend.
00:23:55I'm so sorry, but thank you for seeing us.
00:23:58I'd love to talk more if...
00:24:00There's nothing more to say.
00:24:02Forgive my scepticism,
00:24:03but you're clearly just doing this to increase your celebrity profile.
00:24:06I want no part in it.
00:24:08DCI Barnaby, do come in.
00:24:10They're just leaving.
00:24:22The art of mudlarking lies in the ability to spot things invisible to others.
00:24:32What we call getting your eye in.
00:24:34The mistake is in looking too hard.
00:24:37Very much like my own job.
00:24:40How well did you know Mr. Hoxham?
00:24:43We were more colleagues than friends,
00:24:46both fascinated by the history attached to objects we found.
00:24:49I understand there was some conflict
00:24:52between the two mudlarking groups yesterday afternoon.
00:24:56Did any of that involve Mr. Hoxham specifically?
00:24:59Not that I'm aware of.
00:25:03Reverend Gideon told us about the discovery of the Wiccan jar.
00:25:07I believe you have it.
00:25:08Why, yes.
00:25:09The jar.
00:25:16Here it is.
00:25:17Not very pleasant, I'm afraid.
00:25:22I've reported it to the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
00:25:24They'll be taking it off my hands.
00:25:26Could he have been deliberately placed
00:25:29for Mr. Hoxham to find as a warning of some kind?
00:25:33Highly unlikely.
00:25:35It is clear Johnny saw it as a bad omen.
00:25:38Which makes it all the more puzzling
00:25:40why he should choose to return.
00:25:42There's a history of rivalry and antagonism between the mudlarks
00:26:03and the magneteers.
00:26:04But apart from the discovery of the Wiccan jar,
00:26:08both sides seem to agree nothing unusual happened yesterday.
00:26:11I'm not sure they're being entirely honest, sir.
00:26:14This footage was downloaded from Gemma Westcott's phone.
00:26:17It was intended as content for the magneteers' channel.
00:26:20Where were you castling when you found him?
00:26:23Why would I tell you that?
00:26:24Might be loads more of them.
00:26:25Well, then I'll tell the police
00:26:27about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare.
00:26:30You're still out on license, aren't you, Cole?
00:26:32They'll send you straight back.
00:26:34Johnny.
00:26:36I'll kill you first.
00:26:41This was witnessed by both groups.
00:26:42Why didn't anyone mention it?
00:26:43Oh, Mrs. Gideon said that Cole enjoyed taunting Johnny,
00:26:49so it's possible nobody took it seriously.
00:26:51We need to talk to Cole Densmore.
00:26:53And there's another thing.
00:26:54Freddie Westcott said that a local farmer called him
00:26:57to warn him about the sinkhole.
00:26:58When was this?
00:26:59After they got back from the river.
00:27:01Freddie said that he circulated it on the magneteers' chat,
00:27:03claimed that the farmer made the same call to Reverend Gideon.
00:27:06You didn't say anything to Maeve.
00:27:08Oh, yeah, and finally...
00:27:11Digital managed to access Johnny Hoxham's cloud.
00:27:16Someone called him at 1834.
00:27:20Then, according to his notebook,
00:27:2227 minutes later, he was back at the river.
00:27:26Whoever called Johnny told him
00:27:27that they'd seen a Thomas Beckett badge
00:27:29and pinpointed its exact location.
00:27:32Is the number traceable?
00:27:33It was from an old phone box in the village.
00:27:37So...
00:27:38Johnny Hoxham was deliberately lured to his death.
00:27:47Oh, this...
00:27:48This is great.
00:27:49Do you have any information on Jessie specifically,
00:27:52apart from the birth certificate?
00:27:53Well, her leaving was reported in the local press.
00:27:57Oh, well...
00:27:57As Vicar of Galsworthy, your grandfather was a powerful and highly respected figure in the village.
00:28:03Jessie's decision to leave so soon after your mother's disappearance was of great interest to the community.
00:28:10According to this article, she caught the London train at 7.35pm on Wednesday, the 14th of May.
00:28:15She left with her bike and whatever she could fit into her panniers,
00:28:19as witnessed by Mary Hamble, the housekeeper's daughter.
00:28:22Sources close to the family confirmed that Miss Clisold had threatened to leave before.
00:28:26A note was found leaving them in no doubt that she left of her own free will.
00:28:30Richard Clisold still has it.
00:28:32Oh.
00:28:32And after she left?
00:28:36Well, the trail goes cold, I'm afraid.
00:28:39If Jessie changed her name or she left the country, it could be very difficult to trace her.
00:28:44I'll get our team to look into it.
00:28:46What about friends?
00:28:47She may have stayed in touch with someone outside the family.
00:28:50Well, I can find out which school she attended and take it from there.
00:28:53And Mary Hamble, she might be able to help you.
00:28:56She was a similar age and knew the family.
00:28:59Yeah, we met her briefly earlier.
00:29:01She, um, she cleans for Richard Clisold.
00:29:03And I think she still lives at this address.
00:29:08Oh, this is...
00:29:12DCI Barnaby has a few more questions, William.
00:29:15The church flowers are all done, Alice, so I'll leave you to it.
00:29:22I'm sorry to disturb you again so soon.
00:29:25This is my colleague, DS Winter.
00:29:27Yeah, of course.
00:29:28I need some help.
00:29:31We understand you received a warning about the sinkhole from a local farmer, Jacob Mitchell.
00:29:36You failed to share this warning with other members of your group.
00:29:41You also failed to share it with me.
00:29:44Yeah, I'm ashamed to say that's true.
00:29:46Um...
00:29:47You know, when Jacob rang, I was...
00:29:49I was writing my sermon for the river blessing,
00:29:51and I hung up clumsily spilling tea everywhere,
00:29:54so I'm afraid the call won't clean out of my mind.
00:29:57Freddie Westcott received the same warning and immediately circulated it amongst the magneteers.
00:30:02If you'd done that, Johnny Hoxham might be alive now.
00:30:05Yeah, which, uh, which I regret to the end of my days.
00:30:12But it didn't occur to me that anyone would return to the river that night.
00:30:17So, which is it?
00:30:18Did you forget, or did you think no one would return to the river?
00:30:23Johnny wasn't the only one there.
00:30:25When I was walking home, I saw Cole Densmore on the opposite bank,
00:30:30heading back towards Hollybrook.
00:30:39We need to talk to Cole Densmore.
00:30:41At the very least, he could be an important witness.
00:30:44Unless William Gideon used the farmer's warning to lure Johnny Hoxham to his death,
00:30:48and Mrs. Gideon's statement is just a lie to protect him.
00:30:51Well, her sudden recollection is rather convenient.
00:30:53But why would Reverend Gideon want Johnny Hoxham dead?
00:30:58Hmm. No idea.
00:31:01Cole Densmore's still their only suspect with a motive,
00:31:04but he hasn't responded to any of our calls requesting an interview.
00:31:08Then Mohammed will have to go to the mountain.
00:31:10Mrs. Hamble.
00:31:24I don't like being lied to.
00:31:25I understand. If you could just give us five minutes, we can explain.
00:31:29You knew my Aunt Jessie.
00:31:31We're the last person to see her.
00:31:32I made my statement at the time.
00:31:34It's all on record. There's nothing more to say.
00:31:37And Mrs. Hamble, if you...
00:31:38My loyalty is to the family that stayed,
00:31:40not to those that walked away.
00:31:42And I certainly don't approve of raking all this up again for a TV show.
00:31:46Time for a little fire, Bobby.
00:32:05It turns out Cole Densmore is Goldsworthy's resident bad boy.
00:32:09Currently out on license for theft.
00:32:11Get off my property before I call the cops.
00:32:16Yeah, we are the cops, Mr. Densmore.
00:32:23I'm not talking out here, so you better come in.
00:32:27But I'm not making tea.
00:32:28I assume you've got a license for that rather antiquated firearm?
00:32:44Don't need one.
00:32:45Got a collector who's going to take it off my hands.
00:32:47Yeah, it still needs to be registered, as I'm sure you're aware.
00:32:50But it's an antique. It's been underwater for years.
00:32:53There are rules, Mr. Densmore.
00:32:54Okay. I'll report it if it'll get you off my back.
00:32:58What do you really want?
00:33:00I understand he had an altercation with Johnny Hoxham just hours before he died.
00:33:05That was just banter.
00:33:07It looked like a bit more than that from the footage we saw.
00:33:09If you'd like me to refresh your memory.
00:33:11Okay.
00:33:13So I wouldn't give him the ampulla for his epoxy collection?
00:33:16Why should I?
00:33:17I know I could get decent money for it.
00:33:19You threatened to kill him, Mr. Densmore.
00:33:21But I didn't.
00:33:24Does the expression memento mori mean anything to you?
00:33:31The river isn't far from here.
00:33:32Did you go back there after everyone left?
00:33:34No. Why would I?
00:33:35We have a witness who claims that they saw you on this side of the river heading towards Hollybrook.
00:33:42And they need to get their eyes tested.
00:33:45And if you're looking for someone with real beef with Johnny, talk to Rufus Coulter.
00:33:49He was a mudlark until Johnny grasped him up for not reporting any of the stuff he found.
00:33:54What happened?
00:33:54The vicar threw him out in his ear after God knows how many years.
00:33:59Rufus never forgave Johnny for that.
00:34:01So he joined the magneteers?
00:34:03He's a hoarder.
00:34:05Total weirdo.
00:34:07But they'll take anyone.
00:34:09So it seems.
00:34:10We'll be in touch, Mr. Densmore.
00:34:16What have you said?
00:34:29If you hear the policeman up here, don't panic, okay?
00:34:33They've got nothing on me.
00:34:34I suppose those tears are for Johnny.
00:34:48Of course they are.
00:34:50He was a good friend.
00:34:52Yeah, the way you were together made that perfectly clear.
00:34:54Oh, William, please, not this again.
00:34:57I cared about him.
00:34:58That's all.
00:35:00Just wish you cared about me like that.
00:35:02I know who your celebrity is.
00:35:16We crossed paths earlier.
00:35:18Anything to do with your murder investigation?
00:35:22Sorry.
00:35:23Strictly need-to-know basis.
00:35:26It is intriguing, though, isn't it?
00:35:28How are paths crossing professionally like this?
00:35:31Yeah.
00:35:32Investigating the same case from very different angles.
00:35:37We could both end up on telly at this rate.
00:35:39No.
00:35:39My show will only get made if the story has enough layers
00:35:43to keep the viewers intrigued.
00:35:45Which, unless there's a massive plot twist,
00:35:47is looking very unlikely.
00:35:48Hmm.
00:35:49In my experience, that can happen when you least expect it.
00:35:52What exactly was found?
00:36:15It's the hilt of a sword.
00:36:17Possibly 8th century.
00:36:17Oh, there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement in this area,
00:36:20so it's potentially very exciting.
00:36:22But should we really be out so soon mud-barking?
00:36:26It's what Johnny would have wanted.
00:36:28If we find something special,
00:36:29we can make sure it's dedicated to his memory.
00:36:31Yeah, and as Sir Henry's given us exclusive rights to investigate...
00:36:34It's just in time for tea, Vicar!
00:36:40Leave now, or I will call the police.
00:36:42Oh, that's not very nice, Reverend.
00:36:45This is private land, and you don't have permission to be here.
00:36:48Says who?
00:36:49Sir Henry's gamekeeper's one of our regulars.
00:36:52He did it with his bath for us to check it out.
00:36:54He said we might find some Anglo-Saxon gold.
00:36:57Gold isn't magnetic, so you're wasting your time.
00:37:01Anglo-Saxons were con artists.
00:37:04Made coins that looked like gold,
00:37:06but were mostly bog-standard...
00:37:09metal.
00:37:10Still worth a bob or two.
00:37:11You should know that, Dickie, being an historian.
00:37:16Any news on who killed poor old Johnny?
00:37:18Last we heard, they were questioning you, Vicar.
00:37:21Been to see you twice, I believe.
00:37:26If you're implying I had something to do with it...
00:37:28William, let it go.
00:37:30Hasn't there been enough trouble?
00:37:34Let's start on the foreshore.
00:37:41Sorry to keep you. Couldn't get Paddy in from the garden.
00:37:46He's become obsessed with digging.
00:37:47Oh, I can see that.
00:37:52Any developments I should know about?
00:37:53Cole Densmore's phone places him at home all evening.
00:37:55Hmm.
00:37:56Just because his phone was there, it doesn't mean he was.
00:37:58No, but the background check on Rufus Coulter is much more interesting.
00:38:02Johnny Hoxham lodged an official complaint against him.
00:38:04Accusing him of what?
00:38:05Harassment.
00:38:06He'd been receiving anonymous hate mail.
00:38:08He suspected Rufus Coulter, but nothing was ever proved.
00:38:13Here, some examples.
00:38:20Hmm.
00:38:21Rufus Coulter blamed Johnny Hoxham for shaming him
00:38:25within the mud-larking community he loved.
00:38:27Question is, how far would he go to exact revenge?
00:38:32Go to exact revenge.
00:38:36Ken?
00:38:37Ken, make sure you're getting this.
00:38:39Cole, get over here.
00:38:40Cole.
00:38:43Oh, this is Anglo-Saxon gold.
00:38:45We're billionaires.
00:38:46Yes.
00:38:59Fourth bloody bite this week.
00:39:00Take it to scrap, Cole.
00:39:01It's rusted to hell.
00:39:06Never mind, love.
00:39:07I'll make a city.
00:39:21Where are you going, mate?
00:39:22Home.
00:39:23Not that it's any business of yours.
00:39:27Weirdo.
00:39:28Richard?
00:39:29What is it?
00:39:30Richard?
00:39:31That bicycle?
00:39:32I think it's Jessie's.
00:39:33Quiet, Bobby.
00:39:34Quiet, Bobby.
00:39:35.
00:39:36.
00:39:37.
00:39:38.
00:39:39.
00:39:40.
00:39:41.
00:39:42.
00:39:43.
00:39:44.
00:39:55.
00:39:57.
00:39:58.
00:39:59.
00:40:00.
00:40:01.
00:40:02.
00:40:03.
00:40:04.
00:40:12It's unbelievable.
00:40:17How can anyone live in there?
00:40:19Hopefully we'll find out.
00:40:26Mr. Coulter, it's the police.
00:40:28Just a minute.
00:40:33Bobby, come back here now.
00:40:36You'll come home when he's hungry.
00:40:38Sorry to keep you.
00:40:40It's my heart that slows me down.
00:40:45Come through.
00:40:54What's this all about, then?
00:40:57We understand that you and Mr. Hoxton
00:41:00were involved in an ongoing feud.
00:41:02And you're putting two and two together
00:41:04and thinking I killed him.
00:41:05Well, no one said that, Mr. Coulter.
00:41:07Good.
00:41:09Because like I said, I've got heart problems.
00:41:12Ask my doctor.
00:41:14I'm not capable of hurting anyone.
00:41:17But Mr. Hoxton believed you were capable of seeking revenge
00:41:20by sending anonymous notes designed to frighten him.
00:41:24The man was deluded.
00:41:26Nothing was ever proved.
00:41:28Well, this was found at the scene in Mr. Hoxton's jacket.
00:41:33Doesn't mean it's from me, does it?
00:41:35You knew about the sinkhole from the magnateer's chat group.
00:41:39So did everyone else.
00:41:41So why pick on me?
00:41:44The last call that Mr. Hoxton received was from a phone box.
00:41:48Was that you, Mr. Coulter?
00:41:50No.
00:41:51So you're wasting your time.
00:41:53I'd like you to go now.
00:42:03I need to rest.
00:42:05I can't handle the stress.
00:42:07Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:42:10I've told you everything I know.
00:42:13I'll just... I'll just leave it there.
00:42:15You can see yourselves out.
00:42:17Come on, Vicar, pick up.
00:42:37Please.
00:42:38Freddie, babe, what are you up to?
00:42:49This little beauty is an Anglo-Saxon figurine.
00:42:52Extremely rare, apparently.
00:42:54You're gonna have to declare it.
00:42:56We're already in way too deep.
00:42:58It'll be fine, babe.
00:42:59We just need to hold our nerve.
00:43:08Production want me back in London.
00:43:10Look, it's okay.
00:43:11I can, um...
00:43:12I'll get the team to check out whether Jessie,
00:43:14you know, changed her identity or moved abroad.
00:43:16And if that doesn't work,
00:43:17we can look into other members of your family
00:43:19and see where that takes us.
00:43:21Finding Jessie's the only reason I agreed to do this.
00:43:25And I'm not ready to give up yet.
00:43:28Okay.
00:43:38Oh, Vicar.
00:44:07Thank God you're there now.
00:44:10I really need your help.
00:44:12I called Freddie, but the police don't trust him.
00:44:16You're the only one I can turn to.
00:44:32Hi.
00:44:34Um, I'd like to stay another night, if that's okay.
00:44:36Oh, no problem.
00:44:37Um, I meant to ask you.
00:44:39Um, I heard you talking about Jessie Clissolt.
00:44:42She's my aunt.
00:44:44People seem to think we found our old bike this morning
00:44:48in the river on the estate.
00:44:51But that's not possible.
00:44:53Maybe they got it wrong.
00:44:54Just thought I'd say.
00:44:56Yes, of course.
00:44:58Vicar.
00:44:59Thank God.
00:45:12I'm in the kitchen.
00:45:14Vicar.
00:45:15So Jessie went to Everglade House.
00:45:28It was a Catholic school for what used to be called troubled girls.
00:45:31Oh.
00:45:32I'm still trying to get a hold of the old school roll, but I did manage to find this.
00:45:36It's a copy of her last school report.
00:45:39Oh, wow.
00:45:40Jessica is extremely intelligent, but her rebellious nature makes her stubborn and hard to control.
00:45:50She sounds just like Mum.
00:45:53Oh, that's all I have so far.
00:45:55Any developments your end?
00:45:57Yeah.
00:45:58Um, a bike was found in the river today.
00:46:01People believe it could be Jessie's, but that doesn't make any sense.
00:46:05Can you ask your Uncle Richard about him?
00:46:09He made it very clear that the door was closed, but I refuse to give up hope.
00:46:15Well, with or without him, we're getting closer.
00:46:45Is it a coincidence that a suspect in Johnny Hoxham's murder is now a victim himself?
00:46:51Statistics would say no.
00:46:53Let's find out.
00:46:55Um, Reverend Gideon, we understand that you raised the alarm.
00:47:00Yes, Rufus called me. Sounded dreadful.
00:47:04Although we'd had our differences, he wanted my help.
00:47:08Did he say why?
00:47:10Uh, the magnateers pulled a bike out of the river this morning.
00:47:15And Richard Plissot recognized it.
00:47:18He said it belonged to his younger sister Jessie.
00:47:21I'm sure of it.
00:47:22Why is that significant?
00:47:24Uh, it was a bike that Jessie was meant to have left with.
00:47:28According to Richard, her bike had a pair of tartan panniers.
00:47:32And, uh, when it was pulled out of the river, only one remained.
00:47:36But Rufus told me that he'd found the other pannier
00:47:39in exactly the same part of the river over 30 years ago.
00:47:43Which would be ten years after Jessie left the village?
00:47:46Yeah, yeah, I believe so.
00:47:48Why would Mr. Coulter be interested in an old bike pannier?
00:47:52Well, Rufus, he collected everything, but this time he got lucky.
00:47:57Inside the pannier, he said he found a necklace.
00:48:01How is that relevant?
00:48:03Um, you were already questioning him about Johnny's murder,
00:48:07and he worried that if it was found in his possession,
00:48:11it could connect him to whatever happened to Jessie,
00:48:14that he'd be accused of killing her too.
00:48:17So he asked me to take it.
00:48:19And where has the necklace been all this time?
00:48:22His gallery.
00:48:24His gallery? What does that mean?
00:48:26I have no idea.
00:48:27Um, he promised to tell me everything when I came to the house.
00:48:33But I was too late.
00:48:36And where is the necklace now?
00:48:39Rufus said he brought it up from storage.
00:48:42But I couldn't see it anywhere.
00:48:44Breathe in, gents.
00:48:56It's a bit of a squeeze.
00:48:58You mentioned cardiac issues.
00:49:00Is that what killed him?
00:49:01An arrest has no visible signs, so we'll have to wait for the PM.
00:49:05But I'm concerned that the pile that crushed him was deliberately destabilized.
00:49:12I just need to prove it.
00:49:14So all those equations, of what?
00:49:16It's all about angles, Winter.
00:49:18I once had a lover who was a champion skier.
00:49:22Of course you did.
00:49:24We went off piste in San Moritz and discovered a man who supposedly had fallen to his death.
00:49:31I knew immediately it was foul play.
00:49:34How?
00:49:35It's called the physics of a fall, based on analysis of the trajectory and impact site, angles, laws of motion.
00:49:46And you can calculate all of that with a tape measure?
00:49:49Laser distance meter.
00:49:52I'm not that much of a Luddite, Winter.
00:49:55What happened to your relationship with the sphere?
00:49:58I'm afraid that all went rapidly downhill.
00:50:03Nice abs, but dreadfully dull.
00:50:06I moved on with a handsome snowboarder.
00:50:09Not a clue that he was a senior member of the royal family.
00:50:13Who was it?
00:50:14They made me sign an NDA, I'm afraid.
00:50:17But it'll all be in my memoirs.
00:50:19She never ceases to amaze.
00:50:29Sir, Rufus Colter told William Gideon that he brought the necklace up from storage.
00:50:35But up from where?
00:50:37It could be an outbuilding or garage further down the hill.
00:50:41Yeah.
00:50:42Or...
00:50:44The cellar.
00:50:58Ha.
00:50:59The cellar.
00:51:04Well done, Winter.
00:51:05Down you go.
00:51:06No...
00:51:08I think we found Rufus Coulter's gallery, sir.
00:51:29Classic serial killer behavior, sir.
00:51:38Trophies kept symbolized the killer's conquest over their victims.
00:51:42Could Jesse Clissold be one of them?
00:51:43Fleur's trying to ID the recovered body parts from their DNA.
00:51:48It's a long shot, but we might get lucky.
00:51:50We seized the bite that the magneteers pulled from the river,
00:51:53and the contents of the pannier confirmed that it belonged to Jesse Clissold.
00:51:57Anything of interest?
00:51:58An ID with her purse, some cash, and some degraded items of clothing.
00:52:04She clearly intended to leave that day.
00:52:07Richard Clissold said that his family reported Jesse's disappearance to the police.
00:52:12See if there's any evidence of that in the archive.
00:52:15Any news on the missing necklace?
00:52:21Our team is still searching the property for it.
00:52:23I don't envy them sifting through that lot.
00:52:25If, as we now believe, that Rufus Coulter went down to his cellar to retrieve the necklace,
00:52:32and why wasn't it found on his person?
00:52:37How does this connect to Johnny Hoxham's murder?
00:52:40Oh, Sir Fleur's got something for us.
00:52:42Results show that Mr. Coulter did indeed suffer a cardiac arrest at the time he was crushed.
00:52:50And my measurements came good winter.
00:52:54As you can see, physics suggest the tower was deliberately pushed.
00:53:00But, uh, that's not all.
00:53:03Mr. Coulter had an implantable cardiovert and defibrillator,
00:53:08a preventative measure for those at risk of cardiac arrest.
00:53:12But the device had been deliberately disabled.
00:53:15How?
00:53:16By being in close proximity to a powerful magnet.
00:53:20Like a large fishing magnet?
00:53:22Gold Star Winter.
00:53:25It would need to be positioned less than six inches away from his heart,
00:53:30but no magnet was found close to the body.
00:53:32Could it be anything else?
00:53:34Traces of neodymium, iron and boron were found on his chest area,
00:53:39so, in my opinion, a magnet was held over the victim's heart while he was still alive.
00:53:46Rufus Coulter's background check has just come in.
00:53:48Oh?
00:53:49Nothing remarkable other than how minted he was, given the scholar he lived in.
00:53:53But legal has come up with something interesting.
00:53:55Rufus Coulter left everything in his will to Freddie and Gemma Westcott.
00:54:09Oh, sorry, so sorry to bother you, Mrs. Gideon.
00:54:19Your husband said you might be here.
00:54:21I'm Lucy Weaving.
00:54:22Yes, of course.
00:54:24How can I help?
00:54:26I'm trying to trace my Aunt Jessie, Jessica Clisold.
00:54:29I understand you were there when her bike was found?
00:54:32Yes.
00:54:33It was a bit of a shock.
00:54:35Poor Richard seemed very upset.
00:54:38It's probably just a coincidence.
00:54:42But I worry that the recent murders and Jessie's disappearance might be connected somehow.
00:54:48I'm assuming you knew her.
00:54:50I knew of her, but I didn't really have any friends in the village apart from William.
00:54:54I spent my youth combing the river, collecting whatever I could find to use in my artworks.
00:55:00That's one of mine all made from mudlarking finds.
00:55:08The river drew William and I together.
00:55:14He's a little bit older than me, but we shared a passion for mudlarking.
00:55:18It's beautiful.
00:55:19Oh, thank you.
00:55:20There'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.
00:55:34By how it was expected, given his art condition.
00:55:36But you must have been close for him to make you the sole beneficiaries of his will.
00:55:41And given the state of your business, the timing seems pretty convenient.
00:55:45It's not what you think.
00:55:46Rufus had never been popular in the village.
00:55:48Hmm.
00:55:49He was eccentric.
00:55:50Harmless.
00:55:51He just couldn't let anything go.
00:55:52Which is why he was so angry when Johnny grasped him up.
00:55:56The heritage lot confiscated loads of his most treasured finds.
00:55:59He was distraught.
00:56:00Hmm.
00:56:01Rufus knew he would never make old bones.
00:56:03So he asked us to take care of the rest of it after he'd gone.
00:56:06I said yes.
00:56:07And will you?
00:56:08You're joking, aren't you?
00:56:11I'll sell anything that's worth something.
00:56:13Take the rest of the dump.
00:56:15What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
00:56:17But he was hurt, Mrs. Westcott.
00:56:19Quite deliberately.
00:56:21I thought he had heart attack.
00:56:23He did, but his defibrillator implant failed because someone held a magnet over his heart to disable it.
00:56:28Just like the ones you use.
00:56:30Oh, hang on a minute.
00:56:31You clearly had motive, given the state of your business.
00:56:34And you knew that the inheritance would solve all your problems.
00:56:37And you had the means.
00:56:39Rufus had his own magnets.
00:56:41Anyone could have done it.
00:56:49Ah, DCI Barnaby.
00:56:52Lucy Weaving.
00:56:53We met briefly on my uncle's doorstep.
00:56:55I remember.
00:56:56This is my colleague, Dias Winter.
00:56:57How can we help?
00:56:58I'm concerned that my digging into Aunt Jessie's past might have something to do with the recent murders.
00:57:04Why would you think that?
00:57:05No one in the village seems to know anything.
00:57:07Or if they do, they won't talk to me.
00:57:09The vicar's wife says she barely knew her.
00:57:12My uncle Richard refuses to talk about it.
00:57:15And when I tried to speak to Mary Hamble about her, she shut the door in my face.
00:57:19I'm pretty sure she's hiding something.
00:57:22Well, thank you, Ms. Weaving.
00:57:24Leave it with us.
00:57:25The police are out of me.
00:57:30Going to have to do this now.
00:57:32I don't think the Westcots realise how rich they're going to be.
00:57:37Not much to spend it on in prison.
00:57:39They both have motive for Rufus Coulter, but not, thank you, Johnny Hoxham.
00:57:43And there's no evidence to place them at either murders.
00:57:46Well, let's keep an open mind for now.
00:57:48Just got the initial tests back on the body parts in the cellar.
00:57:52It seems they date back to way before Rufus Coulter was even born.
00:57:57Backing up the Westcots' assertion that he treasured everything he found, however macabre.
00:58:02So, they were telling the truth about that, at least.
00:58:05Leave you to it, gentlemen.
00:58:07This is from archives about Jessie Clissold's disappearance.
00:58:11It seems that Clissolds accused her of stealing family jewellery.
00:58:15Notably, a very valuable 17th century posy ring.
00:58:19I made a note of the engraving to help identify it should it be found.
00:58:24United Hearts Death Only Parts.
00:58:28Several people said that they saw Jessie Clissold leave the village on her bike.
00:58:33Only Mary Hamble made a statement saying she saw her at the station,
00:58:36which Mrs. Hamble refused to discuss with Lucy Weaving. Why?
00:58:42We need to talk to her.
00:58:44In your statement, you claim that Jessie Clissold got on the train to London with her bike.
00:58:48The same bike that was found in the river this morning.
00:58:51Maybe I was confused. Jessie was never without a bike.
00:58:55It was such a long time ago.
00:58:57But you saw her at the station, you're absolutely sure of that?
00:59:00Of course I'm sure.
00:59:03Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:59:09Thank you for your time.
00:59:29Mary Hamble doesn't strike me as a person who gets confused.
00:59:32I agree. She knows exactly what she saw that day.
00:59:39Well, that's tech.
00:59:40Looks like Rufus Coulter called the vicarage twice before he died.
00:59:44Gideon's phone records reveal that the first call went to voicemail,
00:59:48but was subsequently deleted.
00:59:50The second call was answered.
00:59:53Reverend Gideon didn't mention a voicemail.
00:59:55Let's see if he's at home.
01:00:21Reverend Gideon.
01:00:22Sorry to disturb you. We tried the house, but there was no answer.
01:00:25Oh, I lost my vest, Ricky.
01:00:26I only skipped spares here somewhere, but no luck so far.
01:00:28How can I help?
01:00:29The calls you received from Rufus Coulter, there seems to be some discrepancy.
01:00:31Two calls were made to the vicarage from Mr. Coulter's mobile.
01:00:33The first one went to voicemail. A message was left that lasted over a minute.
01:00:36The second call was answered.
01:00:37You mentioned the call, but not the message.
01:00:39I never heard it.
01:00:40Generally, I have no idea how that could have happened.
01:00:42My wife was here.
01:00:43I was alone in the house.
01:00:44I see.
01:00:45Well, thank you for your time.
01:00:46We'll see ourselves out.
01:00:47William.
01:00:48I'm so sorry.
01:00:49There's something I haven't told you.
01:00:50I deleted that voicemail.
01:00:51What?
01:00:52I deleted that voicemail.
01:00:53What?
01:00:54You were just telling me that the phone call was answered.
01:00:55You mentioned the call, but not the message.
01:00:56I never heard it.
01:00:57I...
01:00:58Generally, I have no idea how that could have happened.
01:01:00My wife was here.
01:01:01I was alone in the house.
01:01:03I see.
01:01:05Um...
01:01:06Well, thank you for your time.
01:01:07We'll see ourselves out.
01:01:12William.
01:01:14I'm so sorry.
01:01:16There's something I haven't told you.
01:01:18I deleted that voicemail.
01:01:20Why?
01:01:21Rufus was so awful to Johnny, and I didn't see why we should help him.
01:01:24I need to tell them the truth.
01:01:25Oh, no, no, no.
01:01:26OK, uh...
01:01:28I'll handle it.
01:01:50Up to you old chicks, cow!
01:01:57Reverend Gideon was the last person to have seen Johnny Hoxham alive and the first person
01:02:13had seen Rufus called to dead, or so he claims.
01:02:16He had no explanation for the deleted voicemail.
01:02:19And he failed to pass on the warning about the sinkhole.
01:02:22He had means and opportunity to kill both victims, but...
01:02:25Yes, Winter.
01:02:26What's the motive?
01:02:28We're up.
01:02:29OK.
01:02:30All right.
01:02:31Well, we'll be right down.
01:02:33Cole Densmore is in custody.
01:02:35He was caught red-handed stealing lead off the church roof, but says he wants to talk to us.
01:02:39Why?
01:02:40Well, apparently he saw Reverend Gideon acting suspiciously in the churchyard.
01:02:43Says he thought he saw him hiding something.
01:02:45Did he now?
01:02:46Cole Densmore said it was on the far side.
01:02:52An old grave under a tree with an urn.
01:02:58Could it be that one?
01:03:16It must be the necklace Rufus Coulter found in Jesse Clisol's pannier.
01:03:27What was Reverend Gideon doing with it?
01:03:29And why?
01:03:30Was he hiding it out here?
01:03:43Reverend Gideon.
01:03:46You have some explaining to do.
01:03:54I've been praying for guidance, Chief Inspector, and God's answered my prayers.
01:04:00Time's come to confess the truth.
01:04:04Which is what, exactly?
01:04:07Jesse's death was a terrible accident.
01:04:10I, uh, I hit her with my car on the way to the station.
01:04:16I knew I was over the limit, and if the truth came out, then I'd be finished.
01:04:24So you covered it up?
01:04:26Yeah, I, uh, I disposed of her and a bike in the deepest part of the river.
01:04:36I had no idea that the necklace was in her pannier.
01:04:41Why did that matter?
01:04:42Uh, well, Jesse had always admired the shilling, so I had it made into a, a necklace for a, a 16th birthday present.
01:04:53So you knew the family well?
01:04:56Yeah, my, uh, my family had always attended St. Leonard's, as had the Gazards, Alice's parents.
01:05:05It was then they encouraged me to follow Reverend Clisold into the ministry.
01:05:12But prior to my ordination, I, I, I'd taken up a curacy in London.
01:05:18And I'd found the coin, a, uh, a rare 1819 George III gold-plated shilling mud-larking in the Thames,
01:05:26where one is obliged to have all significant fines officially recorded.
01:05:31So I knew when Rufus found it, that it could be traced back to me.
01:05:39And rather than help Rufus, you decided to retrieve the necklace and silence him?
01:05:46Yeah, he wanted to tell the police.
01:05:49And I couldn't let that happen.
01:05:53And Johnny Hogson?
01:05:57Johnny was in love with my wife, and...
01:06:01I feared that she felt the same, and I, I, I was terrified of, of losing her.
01:06:09So you lured him to his death?
01:06:13Yeah.
01:06:18I have no excuse for any of it, Chief Inspector.
01:06:21It was all a kind of madness, for which I know I have no hope of forgiveness.
01:06:26You don't buy it, sir?
01:06:27Not entirely.
01:06:28It just seems...
01:06:29too studied, too neat.
01:06:30Like the last act of a play.
01:06:31If he is telling the truth, then you know someone else who must be lying.
01:06:32You know someone else who must be lying.
01:06:33You know someone else who must be lying.
01:07:04And that's a great statement I made 40 years ago.
01:07:07It was a lie.
01:07:08I never saw Jesse at the station.
01:07:12So why make that statement?
01:07:14Because I was asked to.
01:07:16But when Lucy Weaving started breaking all this up again,
01:07:22I didn't know what to do for the best.
01:07:25Reverend Gideon advised me to follow my conscience.
01:07:29Is that who asked you to lie?
01:07:30No. It was Richard Clisold.
01:07:35Can you tell us why?
01:07:38Richard caught Jessie stealing their mother's jewellery.
01:07:41She told him she was leaving.
01:07:43Said if he stopped her, then she'd make it her business to bring shame on the family.
01:07:49Well, Richard couldn't risk that happening.
01:07:51So we let her go.
01:07:53And then asked me to say I'd seen her at the station to stop people asking questions.
01:07:58Why did you agree to him?
01:08:01At the time, I half believed I was in love with him.
01:08:06I'd have done anything he asked.
01:08:08But now, I'm wondering if I helped him get away with murder.
01:08:14So William confessed to killing Jessica?
01:08:20He's also confessed to the murders of Johnny Hoxham and Rufus Coulter.
01:08:26So he lied to everyone?
01:08:29As did you, Mr. Clisold, 40 years ago.
01:08:37You asked Mary Hamble to give a false statement about your sister Jessie's departure.
01:08:48Mary came to me this afternoon.
01:08:50She said she would tell you the truth if I didn't.
01:08:53I asked Mary to lie, to stop any further questions being asked.
01:09:00Why would you do that?
01:09:02My father was the subject of some vile rumours.
01:09:08Jessie threatened to tell the church community that they were all true.
01:09:13What did you do?
01:09:14I tried to persuade Jessie to stay, but she said she would only do that if our father's hypocrisy was exposed.
01:09:21The coward in me couldn't face the truth, so we struck a deal.
01:09:28I would allow her to leave without raising the alarm, but she could never return.
01:09:34I blamed it all on her.
01:09:36But in truth, my parents were to blame for all her pain.
01:09:43What do you mean?
01:09:43They should have tried to understand Jessie.
01:09:46Instead of farming her out to a school for girls with troubled, often violent backgrounds,
01:09:52it was then she started calling herself Leo.
01:09:56Leo?
01:09:57Why?
01:09:58Because lions are wild, powerful, brave.
01:10:03All the things she needed to be in order to survive.
01:10:06I loved my father too much.
01:10:10If the truth came out, it would have destroyed him.
01:10:15But that poor girl was my sister.
01:10:19Innocent of any wrongdoing.
01:10:24I should have protected her.
01:10:27Not him.
01:10:28I was too weak.
01:10:34Here you go, love.
01:10:41Oh, and this came for you, Miss Weaving.
01:10:44Okay.
01:10:46Who delivered it?
01:10:47No idea.
01:10:47I found it on the table outside.
01:10:50The victim's been arrested.
01:10:52Seen to your hypocrites behind all of it, including what happened to your aunt.
01:10:55I always knew that man was a wrong'un.
01:10:57Are you absolutely sure?
01:10:58100%.
01:10:59I saw the cop was taken away, and after all that finger-pointing at me.
01:11:08Yeah, we're on our way there now.
01:11:10I'll let them know to expect you.
01:11:12That was the Heritage Crime Unit.
01:11:15Our search into Freddie Westcott brought them to us.
01:11:17Looks like his dodgy deal is about to catch up.
01:11:20Oh.
01:11:20Let's give him the good news.
01:11:22I'll try and get a hold of Sarah, see if she's got anywhere with Jesse Clissell's school
01:11:28records.
01:11:29We know that she was mixing with troubled, violent pupils, but who were they?
01:11:35Did she have any particular friends or enemies?
01:11:39Sarah might have some answers.
01:11:41Ah, you find you a real murderer, then?
01:11:46Told you we had nothing to do with it.
01:11:48And we are going to be very rich through no fault of our own.
01:11:52Indeed.
01:11:53Though you might have to serve a prison sentence before you can enjoy it.
01:11:56Remember that man that you sold the Anglo-Saxon figurine to?
01:11:59The same man you and Cole Densmore had on speed dial to offload all your mudlarking contraband.
01:12:05Well, it turns out that he works undercover at the Heritage Crimes Unit, and they've been
01:12:09following your under-the-counter dealings for months.
01:12:13In fact, they're on their way here now.
01:12:16Hello?
01:12:18I'm so sorry to bother you, but I heard about your husband.
01:12:21It must have been a terrible shock.
01:12:23It's almost impossible to believe.
01:12:26William's just not capable.
01:12:30Someone just left me this.
01:12:35Leave now, or you'll be next.
01:12:39If William was already in custody when it was delivered, then it can't be him.
01:12:42And why would he threaten me if he was just about to confess?
01:12:45It doesn't make any sense.
01:12:47Have you told the police?
01:12:48Not yet.
01:12:50Why don't I call them and make us some sweet tea?
01:12:54I think we could both do with it.
01:13:34Let Lucy Weaving know about Reverend Gideon's confession before the press get a hold of it.
01:13:43Hey. I finally managed to speak to one of the nuns who taught at Everglade House.
01:13:48She remembered Jessie well, but when I asked her about friends, she said she only had one, Alice Gazard.
01:13:53Gazard? That's Alice Gideon's maiden name. She told Lucy Weaving that they barely knew each other.
01:13:58Well, according to Sister Maria, they were kindred spirits.
01:14:01Both had experienced painful rejection by their families and became inseparable.
01:14:05But Alice still lived with her parents.
01:14:07No, her adoptive parents. Alice was abandoned at birth and taken in by the Catholic school attached to the convent.
01:14:13Sister Maria handled her first fostering placement.
01:14:16It was terminated after an act of extreme violence.
01:14:19What happened?
01:14:23The incident took place after Mrs. Marchmont informed Alice that she would be returning her to the convent.
01:14:30She told Alice she had been a great disappointment and not the daughter she wanted.
01:14:34As 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.
01:14:45She was only eight years old.
01:14:47It says here that the Gazards took her in within weeks. I mean, how's that even possible?
01:14:51Well, a decision was made not to reveal what happened.
01:14:53Sister Maria thought that was wrong, so she kept a copy of her records.
01:14:56The Gazards were advised to keep Alice at the same school to avoid further disruption.
01:15:00And Jessie Clissel joined her there when she was 13.
01:15:03So Alice Gideon lied about everything?
01:15:05And her husband's confession seemed too studied, too neat, because it was.
01:15:10It was lying to protect Alice.
01:15:22Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:23Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:24Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:26I swear, the house is all locked up and there's no one, sir.
01:15:28Let's try the studio.
01:15:42Lucy's in there.
01:15:43Get in there.
01:15:46Ambulance.
01:15:49Look at that, sir.
01:15:50The Vicarage Goldsworthy.
01:15:51Lucy, come on, come on.
01:15:54Ah!
01:16:10Blunt force trauma to the head with a dose
01:16:13of gas-induced asphyxiation for good measure.
01:16:17This bottle of ammonia is the culprit.
01:16:20Go on.
01:16:22When boiled, pure ammonia becomes a highly concentrated
01:16:25gas, and extremely dangerous to inhale.
01:16:29When diluted with water, it can also be used to strip metal.
01:16:32Something Alice Gideon might use to clean her mudlocking fines.
01:16:46What are you thinking, sir?
01:16:48Well, to quote Richard Clisold, I'm getting my eye in.
01:16:52You know, mudlockers look for treasures that are unseen by most,
01:16:59but not invisible to all.
01:17:02And I think I've found one.
01:17:06Leo.
01:17:07Sir?
01:17:08Jessie Clisold's alter-ego was a lion.
01:17:12She called herself Leo.
01:17:14The jewellery that Jessie stole on the day she left included a posy ring.
01:17:21And a part of this lion's eye is a ring displaying the French word mar.
01:17:29Death.
01:17:30Well, the wording on the stolen ring was in English.
01:17:33But these rings were often engraved in French on the outside and English on the inside.
01:17:40As in this case,
01:17:44Unis les coeurs, la mort ne fait que separer.
01:17:49And on the inside, united hearts, death only parts.
01:17:56Jessie Clisold had the ring in her possession when she left for London.
01:18:00So, what is it doing in Alice Gideon's studio?
01:18:06We need to ask her before she does any more harm.
01:18:08Sir.
01:18:09Missy Weaving's going to live, Mrs. Gideon.
01:18:39Despite your best efforts.
01:18:41We found the ring that Jessie Clisold stole from her mother on the day that she left home.
01:18:46We need to understand how it came to be in your possession.
01:18:51You need to tell us exactly what happened, Mrs. Gideon.
01:18:55Before I do,
01:18:58I need you to know that I loved her and that she loved me.
01:19:04We could never be together here, so we'd made a plan to leave,
01:19:06go somewhere they'd never find us, but I couldn't go through with it.
01:19:11I was only 17.
01:19:13William and I were already engaged.
01:19:16He offered me safety and stability.
01:19:21Things that had eluded you as a child.
01:19:25We know that you were rejected by your birth mother and then by your foster family.
01:19:30I started to think, what had Jessie abandoned me to?
01:19:37I'd have no one.
01:19:39So I panicked.
01:19:41Begged her to stay.
01:19:42I needed more time.
01:19:44No one knew we were even friends.
01:19:45But she said it was too late.
01:19:48That if I didn't go with her, she was going to tell William the truth.
01:19:51I thought she was bluffing, but she was deadly serious.
01:19:56William had given me the necklace as an engagement present.
01:20:00A talisman to keep me safe.
01:20:03Jessie said she was going to give it back to William.
01:20:05Tell him I didn't need it.
01:20:08What do you think you're doing?
01:20:09She was my lover and protector now.
01:20:12Give him back!
01:20:12No, leave me alone!
01:20:14Stop it!
01:20:16What are you doing?
01:20:21You struck her violently from behind.
01:20:42Just as you'd struck Mrs. Marchmont.
01:20:45Almost killing her too.
01:20:46I felt no remorse for what I did to that woman.
01:20:49But I didn't mean to hurt Jessie.
01:20:51I loved her.
01:20:53You could have come clean about it.
01:20:55And instead you decided to cover it up.
01:20:58I knew that the water was deepest under the bridge.
01:21:04But your necklace was still in the jacket, in the pannier bag.
01:21:08Evidence that you feared might put you at the scene of Jessie's death.
01:21:13By the time I realised that it was too late, I still had to hide her body.
01:21:17And you knew the river like the back of your hand.
01:21:20I remembered there's a deep hollow in the bank just around the bend in the river.
01:21:25I...
01:21:27I dragged Jessie's body to the water.
01:21:31And I floated her downstream.
01:21:34And I managed to push her body deep inside the hollow and weigh it down with rocks.
01:21:39And that's where she has remained?
01:21:40But when Lucy Weaving started asking questions, I needed to check that her remains were still well hidden.
01:21:53And that's when Johnny saw me.
01:21:55We'd been mudlarking at Hollybrook.
01:21:57I told William that I wanted to walk home.
01:21:59I thought that Johnny would go back over the bridges, but he didn't.
01:22:02Alice?
01:22:03What are you doing?
01:22:06Oh, um, I thought I saw something in the water, but it was just a trick of the light.
01:22:10Oh.
01:22:11Well, it's not a bad idea looking here, though.
01:22:13The current flows this way from Hollybrook.
01:22:15I'll come back here tomorrow.
01:22:17Come with me if you're free.
01:22:19Sure.
01:22:22Good idea.
01:22:22Great.
01:22:23And you couldn't let that happen, knowing what he might discover.
01:22:27I didn't have a plan until William got the call about the sinkhole by the jetty.
01:22:33He had no idea that I was listening in on the conversation.
01:22:37You called Johnny Hoxham from the phone box and lured him to his death.
01:22:42It seemed like the easiest solution, but it was so hard.
01:22:47Help!
01:22:49Help!
01:22:49Help!
01:22:51John Lee!
01:22:53Please!
01:22:56Help, Keith!
01:22:57Please!
01:23:03First, you tried to implicate Cole Densmore by saying that you'd seen him at the river.
01:23:09And then you got lucky.
01:23:10Rufus Coulter sent Johnny Hoxham a memento mori that evening, making him our prime suspect.
01:23:16You heard the message that Rufus left at the vicarage.
01:23:19You knew that he'd found the necklace, which he feared might wrongly connect him to Jesse's death.
01:23:25But in reality, it connects you.
01:23:30What happened exactly?
01:23:31William was just coming out of Evensong that night, and I was leaving to meet Jesse.
01:23:42I told him that I was going for a bike ride, and he was worried it might not be safe.
01:23:46It was getting dark.
01:23:47I told him that as long as I was wearing his necklace, I would always be safe.
01:23:52He kissed it, just to make sure.
01:23:56And when I returned hours later, I was in a terrible state.
01:24:00I told him the necklace was lost, that the class must have come undone or something,
01:24:05that I'd been desperately trying to find it all this time.
01:24:09And now you had to recover the necklace from Rufus Coulter to stop William finding out the truth.
01:24:15And you didn't leave anything to chance, did you?
01:24:27You found one of Mr. Coulter's fishing magnets and placed it on his chest to ensure his silence.
01:24:33I...
01:24:35I...
01:24:37I...
01:24:39I...
01:24:41I...
01:24:43I...
01:24:56But then your husband found the necklace by chance.
01:24:59William had lost his key.
01:25:03He knew that I kept spares in the studio.
01:25:05He must have been looking for mine when he found the necklace.
01:25:12Reverend Gideon.
01:25:13And when he found it, your husband realized that you'd got to Rufus Coulter before he did,
01:25:26that you'd lied to cover your tracks, and that you'd been with Jessie Clisold when she died.
01:25:32And so he confessed to all of it in order to protect you.
01:25:36And you let him.
01:25:38But you knew you were still in danger as long as Lucy Weaving was still asking questions.
01:25:43That's why I wrote the note, just to frighten her into leaving.
01:25:47But while you were out delivering your note, your husband was making his confession.
01:25:51That wasn't part of the plan.
01:25:53Lucy realized that if William had been arrested, then he couldn't have left the note.
01:25:57Just needed to buy myself some time, so I told her that I would make tea, call the police.
01:26:03Then, as I left, I saw her...
01:26:06...staring at Leo.
01:26:11I knew in that moment that she was close to the truth.
01:26:15That there would be questions that I wouldn't be able to answer.
01:26:23It was too late to stop.
01:26:27And her husband's been released.
01:26:35He'd like to talk to you, but you're under no obligation.
01:26:38No, I want to.
01:26:49I always thought you were fragile, Alice.
01:26:52Needed my protection.
01:26:54But the one you become, I don't recognize.
01:26:58She's not my Alice.
01:26:59She's always been there, William.
01:27:03I just learned how to keep her well hidden, because no one's ever loved or wanted that Alice.
01:27:10Except Jessie.
01:27:11You'll need to tell us exactly where she is.
01:27:20She's...
01:27:22downstream.
01:27:25In the hollow.
01:27:27I've already said my goodbyes.
01:27:29I am so sorry, William.
01:27:46You're a natural detective, Sarah.
01:27:48Well, only if it's history related.
01:27:50But when it is, you're like a dog with a bone.
01:27:53Oh, not again, Paddy.
01:27:56We're going to have to get rid of that rug, Sarah.
01:28:00Hey.
01:28:03It's the silver eternity bracelet you got me when I had Betty.
01:28:06But you lost that years ago.
01:28:07Oh, and I'm very grateful to have him back.
01:28:10Good boy.
01:28:11Seems like Paddy's good at solving mysteries, too.
01:28:14Well, maybe you should take him mudlarking.
01:28:16He might be able to help you find that watch he lost when he went fishing.
01:28:19Oh, that's a great idea.
01:28:20What do you say, Detective Paddy? Do you want to go fishing again?
01:28:24Go on, then. See if you can find my wellies.
01:28:50Everything with the blue sky.

01:28:56Go to sea level 1, stop!
01:28:57Why do you want to go fishing again?
01:28:58Daddy, I've tried it all from the sky.
01:28:58I've tried something I'll chase him now.
01:28:59That's it.
01:29:00I'm travelling to the sky.
01:29:00I'm flying again, Jane.
01:29:02I'm flying around.
