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!
00:07:08Oh, God.
00:07:38Oh, God.
00:08:08It'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, but if the seal was broken,
00:08:24the 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!
00:08:57Bye, 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.
00:09:05But 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.
00:09:46I know.
00:09:48Oh, my God.
00:10:18Yeah, thanks for letting me know, Jacob.
00:10:39Yeah, yeah, of course, of course.
00:10:40I'll make sure everyone's aware.
00:10:42Okay.
00:10:42Bye.
00:10:44Damn.
00:10:47Sermon.
00:10:48Alice!
00:11:01I'm going to find out, Mom.
00:11:04I promise.
00:11:05I promise.
00:11:35PHONE RINGS
00:11:37Hello?
00:11:39Oh, hello.
00:11:41What?
00:11:43Wait...
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.
00:12:05SILENCE
00:12:07I don't know what to say...
00:12:09No, no.
00:12:11I am so sorry.
00:12:13I could have done that.
00:12:15Open my journal.
00:12:17I can't stop it.
00:12:19I'm so sorry.
00:12:21Together, we're not in the middle.
00:12:23Help! Somebody! Help! Please!
00:12:53We will be the holy river, the way we every burning down.
00:12:59Grace our spirits will deliver, and provide our hope and crown.
00:13:07Yes, we will gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river.
00:13:15Gather with the saints at the river, that flows by the throne of God.
00:13:23Morning, vicar!
00:13:26You see that look? He's really not happy.
00:13:30Judge not, lest ye be judged. Isn't that what the Bible says?
00:13:35Yeah, but the man's a hypocrite. Preaches one thing, does the opposite.
00:13:41Well, at least he's not a Judas, like Johnny.
00:13:45I'm talking to Johnny. Where is he?
00:13:48Right, we've made our point. Let's go to the pub.
00:13:51Rihanna? Bless him won't do any of us any harm. Especially you, Cole.
00:13:57Gracious God, we pray for all those poor souls lost to our rivers and waterways,
00:14:04who these flowers represent.
00:14:06In Christianity, water can symbolize both life and death, and is a central symbol in the sacrament of baptism.
00:14:16A moment of spiritual purification.
00:14:19Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
00:14:37Morning, Jamie. Do you want to be down in the sac?
00:14:38Thanks.
00:14:40Oh, you're looking very glamorous for a school day.
00:14:42Ah, but it's not a school day winter. Far from it.
00:14:45Mum's going to be on TV.
00:14:47Oh, that's exciting. What's the show?
00:14:48Uh, Past Times.
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?
00:15:02You 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.
00:15:13Go for what you wish for, sir.
00:15:24DCI Barnaby. Good morning.
00:15:27Not so good for our victim. Cause of death.
00:15:30Drowning.
00:15:31And by the look of him,
00:15:33I reckon he'd been in the water no longer than 24 hours.
00:15:37There 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?
00:15:46Not obviously.
00:15:48Then, um, what am I doing here?
00:15:51According to witnesses on the scene, the victim was a local man,
00:15:54last seen alive yesterday evening.
00:15:56His jacket was found along with a bag containing a phone, a wallet and a notebook.
00:16:00They confirmed his identity as Jonathan David Hoxham.
00:16:04This was found in the pocket.
00:16:09Memento mori.
00:16:10It's Latin.
00:16:11It means, remember that you have to die.
00:16:13Who knew Winter could speak Latin?
00:16:16You're wasted as a plod.
00:16:18I'm not a...
00:16:19I'm a detective.
00:16:20Detective Sergeant, sir.
00:16:22It's so easy to wind up.
00:16:24It's delicious.
00:16:25If we could possibly get back to the masher 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.
00:16:43Why did he come here?
00:16:44Was he meeting someone?
00:16:46Digital forensics are trying to unlock his phone.
00:16:49Where exactly was the body found?
00:16:51Into 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 mud larking group were here yesterday afternoon.
00:17:01Johnny Hoxham was a key member.
00:17:04According to Mrs. Gideon, there was another mud larking group here at the same time,
00:17:07but they left before he did.
00:17:09Were the Gideons that asked people to see Mr. Hoxham alive?
00:17:11Yeah.
00:17:12Said he was going home and left alone.
00:17:14Mrs. Gideon can't understand why he came back.
00:17:17Well, let's talk to both groups.
00:17:19Find out if anything happened yesterday that might, um, shed some light.
00:17:24Sorry.
00:17:41I'll see you later.
00:17:42passwords.
00:17:43I'm smiling at the same time.
00:17:44Hi, everyone.
00:17:45My name is John.
00:17:46Oh, my name is John P.
00:17:47Gemstone Television. We'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 Hoxham was a devout member of the St. Leonard's family
00:18:06and a passionate member of the Midsomer Mudlocks.
00:18:09His loss is a tragedy for the whole village community.
00:18:13Did Mr. Hoxham 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.
00:18:22I understand you were the last people to see Mr. Hoxham.
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.
00:18:32And Richard 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. Hoxham?
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 Ampula badge was found by Cole Densmore, a member of the Midsomer Magneteers, another Mudlarking group in the area.
00:19:10The Ampula and Thomas Beckett badge are often found together, so Johnny got excited that he might find one in the same location, but 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 in order to build collections of local historical importance.
00:19:39And the Midsomer Magneteers?
00:19:41Well, they use heavy, high-strength magnets to 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?
00:19:53Yeah, unfortunately, yes.
00:19:56There was something else.
00:19:58Johnny found a rare Wiccan jar in the river.
00:20:01Which is what, exactly?
00:20:03A sealed 17th-century witch's jar, believed to curse whoever opens it.
00:20:08Sadly, that was Johnny.
00:20:12Yeah, as a Christian, I abhor superstition, but it's an unfortunate coincidence that Johnny died later that day.
00:20:20Where is this jar now?
00:20:23Richard took it with him.
00:20:24Significant artefacts need to be registered.
00:20:28Where might I find him?
00:20:39They'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, and 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. I'll answer your questions.
00:21:14But under no circumstances will I appear on your television programme.
00:21:18Is that understood?
00:21:20Perfectly.
00:21:23These bills are you paying today?
00:21:26It's all under control, Gem.
00:21:27I can't tax on his way.
00:21:29What if you get caught?
00:21:30Things are getting out of hand.
00:21:31Fine.
00:21:32Mr. and Mrs. Westcott.
00:21:34DS Winter.
00:21:35Causton CID.
00:21:36What can we do for you?
00:21:38Body was found in the river this morning.
00:21:39I 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.
00:21:44He drowned near where you were mudlarking yesterday afternoon.
00:21:47Johnny?
00:21:48But why would he go back in there after the warning?
00:21:50What 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.
00:21:57Jacob's lost sheep to a sinkhole in the river and he wanted us to know exactly where it was.
00:22:02So I put an alert on the magnateer's chap.
00:22:04Did you share that information with the mudlarks?
00:22:06I didn't have to.
00:22:07Jacob said he'd already told the vicar.
00:22:11We understand that there's some unfriendly rivalry between you and the mudlarks.
00:22:15Was there any friction at Hollybrook?
00:22:17Just the usual sparring banter.
00:22:19I see you've got your own channel.
00:22:23Over 5,000 followers now.
00:22:25Did 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, but 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.
00:23:00In case there was ever any doubt.
00:23:04As you can see, she despised us and everything we stood for, and states quite clearly she wishes no one to come after her.
00:23:13Leo.
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, but 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.
00:23:44We had to get on with our own lives.
00:23:46What exactly happened the night she left?
00:23:49Well, she left.
00:23:51If you'll excuse me, I 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.
00:23:58Um, I'd love to talk more if...
00:24:00There's nothing more to say.
00:24:02Forgive my scepticism, but 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. They're just leaving.
00:24:19The art of mudlarking lies in the ability to spot things invisible to others.
00:24:32What we call getting your eye in.
00:24:35The 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.
00:24:49Hmm.
00:24:50I understand there was some conflict between 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.
00:25:08Ah, yes. The jar.
00:25:16Here it is.
00:25:19Not 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 it have been deliberately placed for 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.
00:25:39Which makes it all the more puzzling why he should choose to return.
00:25:42There's a history of rivalry and antagonism between the mudlarks and the magneteers.
00:26:04But apart from the discovery of the Wiccan jar, both sides seem to agree nothing unusual happened yesterday.
00:26:11Hmm.
00:26:12I'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.
00:26:21Where were you casting when you found it?
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 about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare.
00:26:29You're still out on license, aren't you, Cole?
00:26:32They'll send you straight back, Johnny.
00:26:37I'll kill you first.
00:26:41This was witnessed by both groups. Why didn't anyone mention it?
00:26:44Oh, Mrs. Gideon said that Cole enjoyed taunting Johnny, so it's possible nobody took it seriously.
00:26:51We need to talk to Cole Densmore.
00:26:53Hmm, and there's another thing.
00:26:54Freddie Westcott said that a local farmer called him to 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...
00:27:13Digital managed to access Johnny Hoxham's cloud.
00:27:16Someone called him at 1834.
00:27:19Then, according to his notebook, 27 minutes later, he was back at the river.
00:27:25Whoever called Johnny told him that they'd seen a Thomas Beckett badge and pinpointed its exact location.
00:27:31Is the number traceable?
00:27:32Well, it's from an old phone box in the village.
00:27:35Oh.
00:27:36So...
00:27:37Johnny Hoxham was deliberately lured to his death.
00:27:43Hmm.
00:27:48This...
00:27:49This is great.
00:27:50Do you have any information on Jessie specifically, apart from the birth certificate?
00:27:53Well, her leaving was reported in the local press.
00:27:56Oh, wow.
00:27:58As 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.
00:28:09According 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, as witnessed by Mary Hamble, the housekeeper's daughter.
00:28:21Sources 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.
00:28:34And 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.
00:28:45I'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.
00:29:15Uh, the church flowers are all done, Alice.
00:29:17So, uh, I'll leave you to it.
00:29:23I'm sorry to disturb you again so soon.
00:29:25This is my colleague, DS Winter.
00:29:27Yeah, of course.
00:29:28Uh, I need some help.
00:29:30We 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, so 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.
00:30:01If you'd done that, Johnny Hoxham might be alive now.
00:30:05Yeah, which, uh...
00:30:09Which 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? Did you forget?
00:30:20Or did you think no one would return to the river?
00:30:23Johnny wasn't the only one there.
00:30:26When I was walking home, I saw Cole Densmore on the opposite bank, heading back towards Hollybrook.
00:30:31We 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.
00:30:52Her sudden recollection is rather convenient.
00:30:54But why would Reverend Gideon want Johnny Hoxham dead?
00:30:59Hmm.
00:31:00I have 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 Mohamed will have to go to the Mount.
00:31:23Mrs. Hammond.
00:31:24I don't like being lied to.
00:31:25I understand. If you could just give us five minutes, we can explain.
00:31:28You knew my Aunt Jessie.
00:31:30We'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.
00:31:36Yes.
00:31:37Mrs. Hammond, 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.
00:31:46Go.
00:31:47Time for a little fire, Bobby.
00:31:50Turns out Cole Densmore is Goldsworthy's resident bad boy.
00:31:56Currently out on license for theft.
00:31:57Get off my property before I call the cops.
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:59We are the cops.
00:32:00Mr. Densmore.
00:32:01Mr. Densmore.
00:32:02I'm not talking out here, so you better come in.
00:32:03But I'm not making tea.
00:32:04I'm not making tea.
00:32:05Mr. Densmore.
00:32:06I'm not talking out here, so you better come in.
00:32:07But I'm not making tea.
00:32:09Mr. Densmore.
00:32:10I'm not making tea.
00:32:12Oh, no.
00:32:13You're a bad boy.
00:32:14I'm not making tea.
00:32:15I'm not making tea.
00:32:16This is my bad boy.
00:32:17I'm currently out on license for theft.
00:32:19I'm not talking out here, so you better come in.
00:32:22But I'm not making tea.
00:32:25I'm not making tea.
00:32:29Mr. Densmore.
00:32:32I assume you've got a license for that rather antiquated firearm?
00:32:44Don't need one.
00:32:45I've got a collector who's going to take it off my hands.
00:32:47It still needs to be registered, as I'm sure you're aware.
00:32:50But it's an antique.
00:32:51It's been underwater for years.
00:32:53There are rules, Mr. Densmore.
00:32:55Okay.
00:32:56I'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.
00:33:06That was just banter.
00:33:07It looked like a bit more than that from the footage we saw.
00:33:10Would you like me to refresh your memory?
00:33:12Okay.
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.
00:33:25Does 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.
00:33:35Why would I?
00:33:36We 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.
00:33:44And 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.
00:33:53What happened?
00:33:54The vicar threw him out in his ear after God knows how many years.
00:33:58Rufus never forgave Johnny for that.
00:34:01So he joined the magneteers?
00:34:03He's a hoarder.
00:34:04Total weirdo.
00:34:05But they'll take anyone.
00:34:06So it seems.
00:34:07We'll be in touch, Mr. Densmore.
00:34:08What have you said?
00:34:09If you hear the policeman up here, don't panic, okay?
00:34:10They got nothing on me.
00:34:11They got nothing on me.
00:34:12I understand.
00:34:13We'll be in touch, Mr. Densmore.
00:34:18If you hear the policeman up here, don't panic, okay?
00:34:33They got nothing on me.
00:34:35I suppose those tears are for Johnny.
00:34:47Of 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, that's all.
00:35:00Just wish you cared about me like that.
00:35:05I'm not sure you ever have.
00:35:13I 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?
00:35:28Our paths crossing professionally like this.
00:35:31Yeah, investigating the same case
00:35:33from very different angles.
00:35:37We could both end up on telly at this rate.
00:35:39No, my show will only get made if the story
00:35:42has enough layers to keep the viewers intrigued.
00:35:45Which, unless there's a massive plot twist,
00:35:47is looking very unlikely.
00:35:49In my experience, that can happen when you least expect it.
00:36:03What exactly was found?
00:36:15The hilt of a sword.
00:36:17Possibly 8th century.
00:36:18Oh, there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement in this area,
00:36:20so potentially very exciting.
00:36:21But 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 is one of our regulars.
00:36:52He did it with his boss 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 metal.
00:37:10Still worth a bob or two.
00:37:12You should know that, Dickie, being an historian.
00:37:14Any 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.
00:37:36Sorry to keep you, couldn't get Paddy in from the garden.
00:37:46He's become obsessed with digging.
00:37:48Oh.
00:37:49I can see that.
00:37:51Any developments I should know about?
00:37:54Cole Densmore's phone places him home all evening.
00:37:56Hmm.
00:37:57Just because his phone was there, it doesn't mean he was.
00:37:59No, but the background check on Rufus Coulter
00:38:01is much more interesting.
00:38:02Johnny Hoxham lodged an official complaint against him.
00:38:05Accusing him of what?
00:38:06Harassment.
00:38:07He'd been receiving anonymous hate mail.
00:38:10He suspected Rufus Coulter, but nothing was ever proved.
00:38:13Here, some examples.
00:38:16Rufus Coulter blamed Johnny Hoxham
00:38:24for shaming him within the mud-larking community he loved.
00:38:29Question is,
00:38:31how far would he go to exact revenge?
00:38:35Ken?
00:38:37Ken, make sure you're getting this.
00:38:39Cole, get over here, Cole.
00:38:43Oh, this is Anglo-Saxon gold.
00:38:45We're billionaires.
00:38:45Oh, yeah.
00:38:58Fourth bloody bite this week.
00:39:00Take it to scrap, Cole.
00:39:01It's rusted to hell.
00:39:06Never mind, love.
00:39:08I'll make a succeed.
00:39:08Where are you going, mate?
00:39:22Home.
00:39:23Not that it's any business of yours.
00:39:27Weirder.
00:39:27Richard?
00:39:33What is it?
00:39:42Richard?
00:39:42That bicycle.
00:39:45I think it's Jesse's.
00:40:00Quiet, Bobby.
00:40:00It's unbelievable.
00:40:17How can anyone live in there?
00:40:19Hopefully, we'll find out.
00:40:21Mr. Coulter, it's the police.
00:40:29Just a minute.
00:40:33Bobby, come back here now.
00:40:37He'll come home when he's hungry.
00:40:38Sorry to keep you.
00:40:40It's my heart that slows me down.
00:40:42Come through.
00:40:45Come through.
00:40:54What's this all about, then?
00:40:55We understand that you and, um, Mr. Hoxton were involved in an ongoing feud.
00:41:01And you're putting two and two together and 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.
00:41:15I'm not capable of hurting anyone.
00:41:17But Mr. Hoxton believed you were capable of seeking revenge by sending anonymous notes designed to frighten him.
00:41:24The man was deluded.
00:41:27Nothing was ever proved.
00:41:29Well, 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.
00:41:40So why pick on me?
00:41:42The 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.
00:42:01I'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.
00:42:12I'll just, I'll just leave you there.
00:42:15You can see yourselves out.
00:42:35Come on, Vicar, pick up.
00:42:38Please.
00:42:39Freddie, babe, what are you up to?
00:42:49This little beauty is an Anglo-Saxon figurine.
00:42:53Extremely rare, apparently.
00:42:55You're going to have to declare it.
00:42:56We're, we're already in way too deep.
00:42:58It'll be fine, babe.
00:42:59We just need to hold our nerve.
00:43:01Production mocked me back in London.
00:43:10Look, it's okay.
00:43:11I can, um, I'll get the team to check out whether Jessie, you know, changed her identity or moved
00:43:15abroad.
00:43:16And if that doesn't work, we can look into other members of your family and see where that
00:43:19takes us.
00:43:22Finding Jessie's the only reason I agreed to do this.
00:43:24And I'm not ready to give up yet.
00:43:29Okay.
00:43:29I don't know.
00:43:59Vicar, thank God you're there now.
00:44:09I really need your help.
00:44:12I called Freddy, but the police don't trust him.
00:44:16You're the only one I can turn to.
00:44:29Hi.
00:44:34I'd like to stay another night, if that's okay.
00:44:36Oh, no problem.
00:44:38I meant to ask you, I heard you talking about Jessie Clissolt.
00:44:42She's my aunt.
00:44:44People seem to think we found her old bike this morning in 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.
00:45:09Vicar.
00:45:11Thank God.
00:45:12I'm in the kitchen.
00:45:18Vicar?
00:45:25So, Jessie went to Everglade House.
00:45:28It was a Catholic school for what used to be called troubled girls.
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.
00:45:43Jessica is extremely intelligent, but her rebellious nature makes her stubborn and hard to control.
00:45:50She sounds just like mum.
00:45:53Well, 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 it?
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.
00:46:17PHONE RINGS
00:46:29Is it a coincidence that a suspect in Johnny Hoxham's murder is now a victim himself?
00:46:51Statistics would say no, sir.
00:46:53Let's find out.
00:46:55Uh, 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?
00:47:10The magnateers pulled a bike out of the river this morning,
00:47:15and Richard Plissot recognized it.
00:47:17He said it belonged to his younger sister Jessie.
00:47:20I'm sure of it.
00:47:22Why is that significant?
00:47:24It was the 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 when it was pulled out of the river, only one remained.
00:47:36Rufus 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'd found a necklace.
00:48:01How's that relevant?
00:48:03You 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.
00:48:23His gallery? What does that mean?
00:48:25I have no idea.
00:48:27He promised to tell me everything when I came to the house,
00:48:32but I was too late.
00:48:36And where is the necklace now?
00:48:38Rufus said he brought it up from storage,
00:48:41but I couldn't see it anywhere.
00:48:49Breathe in, gents.
00:48:55It's a bit of a squeeze.
00:48:57You mentioned cardiac issues.
00:48:59Is that what killed him?
00:49:01An arrest has no visible signs,
00:49:03so we'll have to wait for the PM.
00:49:05But I'm concerned that the pile that crushed him
00:49:08was deliberately destabilized.
00:49:11I just need to prove it.
00:49:14So all those equations are formed?
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
00:49:26and discovered a man who supposedly had fallen to his death.
00:49:30I knew immediately it was foul play.
00:49:33How?
00:49:35It's called The Physics of a Fall,
00:49:38based on analysis of the trajectory and impact site,
00:49:43angles, laws of motion.
00:49:45Then 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.
00:50:02Nice 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.
00:50:16But it'll all be in my memoirs.
00:50:18She never ceases to amaze.
00:50:28Sir, Rufus Colter told William Gideon
00:50:32that he brought the necklace up from storage.
00:50:34But up from where?
00:50:36It could be an outbuilding or garage further down the hill.
00:50:40Yeah.
00:50:42Or...
00:50:48The cellar.
00:50:58The cellar.
00:51:03Well done, Winter.
00:51:05Down you go.
00:51:06No.
00:51:07Oh.
00:51:26I think we found Rufus Colter's gallery, sir.
00:51:36Classic serial killer behaviour, sir.
00:51:38Trophies kept to symbolise the killer's conquest over their victims.
00:51:41Could Jessie Clisold be one of them?
00:51:43Fleur's trying to ID the recovered body parts from their DNA.
00:51:47That's a long shot, but we might get lucky.
00:51:49We seized the bite that the magneteers pulled from the river.
00:51:53The contents of the pannier confirmed that it belonged to Jessie Clisold.
00:51:56Anything 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 Clisold said that his family reported Jessie's disappearance to the police.
00:52:12See if there's any evidence of that in the archive, sir.
00:52:18Any news on the missing necklace?
00:52:20Our team is still searching the property for it.
00:52:22I don't envy them sifting through that lot.
00:52:26If, as we now believe, that Rufus Colter went down to his cellar to retrieve the necklace,
00:52:33why wasn't it found on his person?
00:52:36How does this connect to Johnny Hoxham's murder?
00:52:39Oh, sir Fleur's got something for us.
00:52:42Results show that Mr. Colter did indeed suffer a cardiac arrest at the time he was crushed.
00:52:51And my measurements came good, Winter.
00:52:55As you can see, physics suggest the tower was deliberately pushed.
00:53:00But, uh, that's not all.
00:53:03Mr. Colter had an implantable cardiovert and defibrillator,
00:53:08uh, preventative measure for those at risk, cardiac arrest.
00:53:12But the device had been deliberately disabled.
00:53:15Oh.
00:53:16By being in close proximity to a powerful magnet.
00:53:20Like a large fishing magnet?
00:53:23Gold Star Winter.
00:53:25It would need to be positioned less than six inches away from his heart,
00:53:29but 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.
00:53:45Rufus Colter'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 Colter left everything in his will to Freddie and Gemma Westcott.
00:54:04Oh, sorry. So sorry to bother you, Mrs. Gideon.
00:54:19Um, your 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.
00:54:28Jessica 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.
00:54:40It'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.
00:55:11The 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.
00:55:21There's something wonderful about bringing new life to things that would otherwise be lost forever.
00:55:31You didn't seem very upset about Mr. Coulter's death, Mr. Westcott.
00:55:34By how it was expected, given his art condition.
00:55:37But you must have been close for him to make you the sole beneficiaries of his will.
00:55:42And 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 grassed 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?
00:56:09You'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.
00:56:38Rufus had his own magnets.
00:56:41Anyone could have done it.
00:56:50DCI 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.
00:56:58How can we help?
00:56:59I'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.
00:57:29The police are out of me.
00:57:31Gonna have to do this now.
00:57:34I don't think the Westcots realise how rich they're gonna be.
00:57:37Not much to spend it on in prison.
00:57:39Well, they 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.
00:58:05I'll leave you to it, gentlemen.
00:58:07This is from archives about Jessie Clissold's disappearance.
00:58:11It seems the 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.
00:58:25United Heart Death Only Parts.
00:58:28Several people said that they saw Jessie Clissold leave the village on her bike.
00:58:33But only 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?
00:59:01Of course I'm sure.
00:59:04Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:59:10Thank you for your time.
00:59:29Mary Hamble doesn't strike me as a person who gets confused.
00:59:33I agree.
00:59:34She knows exactly what she saw that day.
00:59:36Oh, 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.
00:59:56Let's see if he's at home.
01:00:06Reverend Gideon.
01:00:07Sorry to disturb you. We tried the house, but there was no answer.
01:00:08Reverend Gideon.
01:00:09Reverend Gideon.
01:00:30Sorry to disturb you. We tried the house, but there was no answer.
01:00:33Oh, I lost my vest, Ricky.
01:00:35I only skipped spares here somewhere, but no luck so far.
01:00:37How can I help?
01:00:39The calls you received from Rufus Coulter, there seems to be some discrepancy.
01:00:43Two calls were made to the vicarage from Mr. Coulter's mobile.
01:00:46The first one went to voicemail. A message was left that lasted over a minute.
01:00:50The second call was answered.
01:00:52You mentioned the call, but not the message.
01:00:55I never heard it.
01:00:57Generally, I have no idea how that could have happened.
01:01:00My wife was here. I was alone in the house.
01:01:03I see.
01:01:05Um, well, thank you for your time.
01:01:07We'll see ourselves out.
01:01:13William.
01:01:14I'm so sorry. There'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.
01:01:26Okay, uh...
01:01:28I'll handle it.
01:01:30That's so awful to you.
01:01:31Do another?
01:01:32Three minutes after you finally break this girl.
01:01:34Soon take the phone.
01:01:35Wait a minute.
01:01:36A bright minute.
01:01:37And pray God knows better.
01:01:39It's so bad that that you're in the world balance
01:01:40That you're in the space for you.
01:01:41And that you're living in the space for you.
01:01:55For you whojin, Daddy did make her play.
01:01:58She lived on the plane apart of you.
01:01:59Screw them up and go without you.
01:02:00Up to you, old chicks, Carl!
01:02:09Reverend Gideon was the last person
01:02:11to have seen Johnny Hoxham alive,
01:02:12and the first person to have seen Rufus called to dead,
01:02:15or 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.
01:02:23He had means and opportunity to kill both victims, but-
01:02:26Yes, Winter.
01:02:27What's the motive?
01:02:30We are.
01:02:31Okay, all right, well, we'll be right down.
01:02:34Cole Densmore is in custody.
01:02:35He was caught red-handed stealing lead off the church roof,
01:02:38but says he wants to talk to us.
01:02:40Why?
01:02:41Well, apparently, he saw Reverend Gideon
01:02:42acting suspiciously in the churchyard,
01:02:44says he thought he saw him hiding something.
01:02:46Did he now?
01:02:49Cole Densmore said it was on the far side,
01:02:52an old grave under a tree with an urn.
01:02:55Well, I think it would be that one.
01:02:59It must be the necklace Rufus Coulter found in Jesse Clisol's pannier.
01:03:01What was Reverend Gideon doing with it?
01:03:05Why was he hiding it out here?
01:03:07It must be the necklace Rufus Coulter found in Jesse Clisol's pannier.
01:03:22What was Reverend Gideon doing with it, and why was he hiding it out here?
01:03:29And why was he hiding it out here?
01:03:43Reverend Gideon.
01:03:48You have some explaining to do.
01:03:50I'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.
01:04:11I 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?
01:04:27Yeah, I, uh...
01:04:31I 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?
01:04:42Well, Jesse had always admired the shilling, so I had it made into a necklace for a 16th birthday present.
01:04:53So you knew the family well?
01:04:56Yeah, my, uh...
01:04:59My family had always attended St. Leonard's, as had the Gazards, Alice's parents.
01:05:04It was then they encouraged me to follow Reverend Clisold into the ministry.
01:05:12But prior to my ordination, I'd taken up a curacy in London.
01:05:17And I'd found the coin, a rare 1819 George III gold-plated shilling mud-larking in the Thames,
01:05:26where one is obliged to have all significant finds 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...
01:05:51I couldn't let that happen.
01:05:53And Joni Hoxton?
01:05:57Joni was in love with my wife.
01:06:00And...
01:06:02I feared that she felt the same.
01:06:04And I, I, I was terrified of, of losing her.
01:06:10So you lured him to his death?
01:06:14Yeah.
01:06:18I've 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, you know, too 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.
01:06:33If he is telling the truth, then you know someone else who must be lying.
01:06:35you don't buy it sir not entirely it just seems too studied too neat like the last act of a play
01:06:56if he is telling the truth then you know someone else who must be lying
01:07:00that statement i made 40 years ago it was a lie i never saw jesse at the station
01:07:11so why make that statement because i was asked to but when lucy weaving started breaking all this
01:07:21up again i didn't know what to do for the best reverend gideon advised me to follow my conscience
01:07:28is that who asked you to lie no it was richard clissold
01:07:33can you tell us why richard caught jesse stealing their mother's jewelry she told him she was
01:07:42leaving said if he stopped her then she'd make it her business to bring shame on the family
01:07:48well richard couldn't risk that happening so we let her go and then asked me to say i'd seen her at
01:07:55the station to stop people asking questions why did you agree to at the time i half believed i was in
01:08:04love with him i'd have done anything he asked but now i'm wondering if i helped him get away with murder
01:08:13so william confessed to killing jessica
01:08:19he'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 clissold
01:08:34what 40 years ago you asked mary hamburg to give a false statement about your sister jesse's departure
01:08:41mary came to me this afternoon she 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 why would you do that
01:09:01my father was the subject of some vile rumors jesse threatened to tell the church community that they
01:09:11were all true what did you do i tried to persuade jesse to stay but she said she would only do that
01:09:18if our father's hypocrisy was exposed the coward in me couldn't face the truth so we struck a deal
01:09:27i would allow her to leave without raising the alarm but she could never return
01:09:33i blamed it all on her but in truth
01:09:37my parents were to blame for all her pain
01:09:42what do you mean they should have tried to understand jesse
01:09:45instead of farming her out to a school for girls with troubled often violent backgrounds
01:09:52it was then she started calling herself leo
01:09:55leo why
01:09:58because lions are wild powerful brave
01:10:02all the things she needed to be in order to survive
01:10:06i love my father too much
01:10:09if the truth came out it would have destroyed him
01:10:13but that poor girl was my sister
01:10:18innocent of any wrongdoing
01:10:21i should have protected her
01:10:26not him

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
01:12:03to offload all your mudlarking contraband

01:12:55i think we could both do with it
01:12:56thank you
01:13:20let lucy weaving know about reverend gideon's confession before the press get hold of it
01:13:41hey
01:13:45i finally managed to speak
01:13:46speak to one of the nuns who taught at everglade house
01:13:49she remembered jesse well but when i asked her about friends she said she only had one
01:13:52alice gazzard
01:13:54gazzard that's alice gideon's maiden name she told lucy
01:13:57revealing that they barely knew each other
01:14:00of color
01:14:01they were kindred spirits
01:14:03by their families and became inseparable.
01:14:05But Alice still lived with her parents.
01:14:07No, her adoptive parents.
01:14:08Alice was abandoned at birth and taken in
01:14:11by 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
01:14:27that she would be returning her to the convent.
01:14:30She told Alice she had been a great disappointment
01:14:32and not the daughter she wanted.
01:14:34As Mrs. Marchmont walked away,
01:14:36Alice picked up one of Mr. Marchmont's golf clubs
01:14:39and struck her across the back of the head
01:14:42with 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.
01:14:49I mean, how's that even possible?
01:14:50Well, a decision was made not to reveal what happened.
01:14:52Sister Maria thought that was wrong,
01:14:54so she kept a copy of her records.
01:14:56The Gazards were advised to keep Alice at the same school
01:14:58to avoid further disruption,
01:15:00and Jessie Klissel 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,
01:15:07too neat, because it was.
01:15:10It was lying to protect Alice.
01:15:12Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:23Mrs. Gideon?
01:15:25I bet the house's all locked up. There's no answer.
01:15:31Let's try the studio.
01:15:33Lucy's in there. Get in there.
01:15:46Ambulance.
01:15:48Stay there, sir.
01:15:49The vicarage goes with it.
01:15:51Lucy.
01:15:52Come on.
01:15:54Blunt force trauma to the head,
01:16:12with a dose of gas-induced asphyxiation for good measure.
01:16:16This bottle of ammonia is the culprit.
01:16:19Go on.
01:16:21When boiled, pure ammonia becomes a highly concentrated gas.
01:16:26Extremely dangerous to inhale.
01:16:28When diluted with water, it can also be used to strip metal.
01:16:31Something Alice Gideon might use to clean her mudlock in fines.
01:16:36What are you thinking, sir?
01:16:48Well, to quote Richard Clishold, 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.
01:17:05Leo.
01:17:06Sir?
01:17:08Jessie Clishold's alter ego was a lion.
01:17:11She called herself Leo.
01:17:14The jewelry that Jessie stole on the day she left included a posy ring.
01:17:20And a part of this lion's eye is a ring displaying the French word mort.
01:17:29Death.
01:17:30Well, the wording on the stolen ring was in English.
01:17:32Yeah, but these rings were often engraved in French on the outside,
01:17:37and English on the inside.
01:17:40As in this case,
01:17:43unis les coeurs, la mort ne fait que separer.
01:17:48And on the inside,
01:17:50united hearts,
01:17:53death only parts.
01:17:56Jessie Clishold had the ring in her possession when she left for London,
01:18:00so what is it doing in Alice Gideon's studio?
01:18:04We need to ask her before she does any more harm.
01:18:08Sir.
01:18:09Jessie Weaving's going to live, Mrs. Gideon.
01:18:38Mrs. Gideon, despite your best efforts.
01:18:40We found the ring that Jessie Clishold stole from her mother on the day that she left home.
01:18:45We need to understand how it came to be in your possession.
01:18:50You need to tell us exactly what happened, Mrs. Gideon.
01:18:54Before I do,
01:18:57I need you to know that I loved her and that she loved me.
01:19:03We 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.
01:19:10I was only 17.
01:19:12William and I were already engaged.
01:19:15He offered me safety and stability.
01:19:20Things that had eluded you as a child.
01:19:23We know that you were rejected by your birth mother and then by your foster family.
01:19:30I started to think, what if Jessie abandoned me to?
01:19:36I'd have no one.
01:19:38So I panicked.
01:19:40Begged her to stay.
01:19:42I needed more time.
01:19:43No one knew we were even friends.
01:19:45But she said it was too late.
01:19:47That if I didn't go with her, she was going to tell William the truth.
01:19:50I thought she was bluffing, but she was deadly serious.
01:19:54William had given me the necklace as an engagement present.
01:19:58A talisman to keep me safe.
01:20:01Jessie said she was going to give it back to William.
01:20:04Tell him I didn't need it.
01:20:07What do you think you're doing?
01:20:09She was my lover and protector now.
01:20:11Give him back!
01:20:12No, leave me alone!
01:20:13Stop it!
01:20:14Stop it!
01:20:15What are you doing?
01:20:17You struck her violently from behind.
01:20:41Just as you'd struck Mrs. Marchmont.
01:20:44Almost 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.
01:20:52You could have come clean about it.
01:20:54And instead you decided to cover it up.
01:20:57I knew that the water was deepest under the bridge.
01:21:03But your necklace was still in the jacket, in the pannier bag.
01:21:07Evidence that you feared might put you at the scene of Jessie's death.
01:21:12By the time I realized that, it was too late.
01:21:15I 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...
01:21:26I dragged Jessie's body to the water.
01:21:30And, er, I floated her downstream.
01:21:33And I managed to push her body deep inside the hollow and weigh it down with rocks.
01:21:38And 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?
01:22:03Ha!
01:22:04What are you doing?
01:22:05Oh, um...
01:22:06I 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.
01:22:16Come with me if you're free.
01:22:18Sure.
01:22:20Good idea.
01:22:21Great.
01:22:22And 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.
01:22:46Help!
01:22:47Help!
01:22:48Help!
01:22:49Help!
01:22:50Help!
01:22:51Help!
01:22:52Help!
01:22:53Help!
01:22:54Help!
01:22:55Help!
01:22:56Help!
01:22:57Help!
01:22:58Help!
01:22:59Help!
01:23:00Help!
01:23:01Help!
01:23:02First, you tried to implicate Cole Densmore by saying that you'd seen him at the river.
01:23:08And then you got lucky.
01:23:09Rufus Coulter sent Johnny Hoxham a memento mori that evening, making him our prime suspect.
01:23:15You heard the message that Rufus left at the vicarage.
01:23:18You 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.
01:23:28What 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.
01:23:55And when I returned hours later, I was in a terrible state.
01:24:00I told him the necklace was lost.
01:24:03That 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.
01:24:32But then your husband found the necklace by chance.
01:25:00William 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.
01:25:20And when he found it, your husband realized that you'd got to Rufus Coulter before he did.
01:25:25That you'd lied to cover your tracks.
01:25:28And that you'd been with Jessie Clisold when she died.
01:25:31And so he confessed to all of it.
01:25:34In order to protect you.
01:25:35And you let him.
01:25:37But you knew you were still in danger, as long as Lucy Weaving was still asking questions.
01:25:42That's why I wrote the note, just to frighten her into leaving.
01:25:46But while you were out delivering your note, your husband was making his confession.
01:25:50That wasn't part of the plan.
01:25:52Lucy realized that if William had been arrested, then he couldn't have left the note.
01:25:56Just needed to buy myself some time.
01:25:59So I told her that I would make tea, call the police.
01:26:02Then, as I left, I saw her staring at Leo.
01:26:06I knew in that moment that she was close to the truth.
01:26:13That there would be questions that I wouldn't be able to answer.
01:26:23It was too late to stop.
01:26:25And her husband's been released.
01:26:32He'd like to talk to you, but you're under no obligation.
01:26:37No.
01:26:38I want to.
01:26:40I always thought you were fragile, Alice.
01:26:52Needed my protection.
01:26:54But the one you become, I don't recognize.
01:26:57She's not my Alice.
01:26:59She's always been there, William.
01:27:02I just learned how to keep her well hidden, because no one's ever loved or wanted that, Alice.
01:27:09Except Jessie.
01:27:14You'll need to tell us exactly where she is.
01:27:16She's downstream, in the hollow.
01:27:27I've already said my goodbyes.
01:27:33I 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.
01:27:55We're going to have to get rid of that rug, Sarah.
01:27:59Hey.
01:28:02It's the silver eternity bracelet you got me when I had Betty.
01:28:05But 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.
01:28:13Well, 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?
01:28:21Do you want to go fishing again?
01:28:22Yes.
01:28:23Go on, then.
01:28:24See if you can find my wellies.
01:28:43Let's get some wood turbine.
01:28:44Thanks.
01:28:45Hey good job.
01:28:46You're.
01:28:47Not good.
01:28:48You are the ti-
