00:00:00The stretch of the river can be unpredictable after so much rain.
00:00:11I suggest we've got to move on before it floods.
00:00:13Yeah, we could be standing on what was once the pilgrim route to Causton Abbey.
00:00:19Maybe. Today's the day, Becker.
00:00:22I might finally find the Thomas Beckett badge to complete my collection.
00:00:25It's a rare badge, Johnny. Let's pray to him here somewhere.
00:00:30The mudlarks are up to something at Hollybrook. Reckon they must have had a tip-off.
00:00:37Say no more, mate. Yeah, yeah. We'll meet you down there.
00:00:40Rufus, get that down your neck. We've got work to do. Gemma, get the van loaded up.
00:00:45Mudlarks are at Hollybrook.
00:00:47What about the bar?
00:00:49Well, Gary can cover for a couple of hours, but we need to get there now.
00:00:52You must be on to something.
00:01:00Dad, he's done it again.
00:01:02Hmm?
00:01:03Oh, not again, Paddy. That's the third time this afternoon.
00:01:06How much stuff have you got buried out there?
00:01:09Oh, sorry, Sarah. I couldn't stop it.
00:01:11Oh, never mind that now. I've got some exciting news.
00:01:14I have just been asked to do some local research for pastimes.
00:01:17The Ancestry Show?
00:01:18Yeah. They got in touch through the Historical Society.
00:01:21Are you going to be on TV?
00:01:22Well, it looks like it, yeah.
00:01:23And who's the subject?
00:01:25Oh, I'm sorry, darling, but it's a need-to-know basis, only.
00:01:29But if you wouldn't mind clearing this mess up, I've got some work to do.
00:01:35Last time, okay? Or I'm calling the pound.
00:01:53Everything all right, Richard?
00:02:02Some ghastly Ancestry Show keeps calling me.
00:02:05Hannah's daughter is now a well-known actress, apparently.
00:02:07They want my help to find Jessica.
00:02:10As if I'd had the first idea.
00:02:14As if the day couldn't get any worse.
00:02:16This is a historical site of great interest of the Dean of Causton.
00:02:27We're here at his official invitation.
00:02:29Last time I heard, this stretch of the river is on Jacob Mitchell's land.
00:02:33It's nothing to do with the Dean.
00:02:34Nevertheless, your high-strength magnets can do untold damage.
00:02:37You have no business here.
00:02:39You're so sure about that, Rev?
00:02:41Call the police.
00:02:42We already know Johnny's a grass.
00:02:44He's probably called them already.
00:02:45If you're intent on being unreasonable, I suppose I can't stop you.
00:02:49Glad to see we're on the same page, Vicar.
00:02:51Good one, Jem.
00:02:54Let's get organised, lads.
00:02:57Damn cheek.
00:02:58Who do they think they are?
00:02:59We just have to do our best to avoid them.
00:03:02Easier said than done.
00:03:06Ready, Jem?
00:03:07I was born ready.
00:03:08Hello, guys, and welcome back to the Midsummer Magneteers channel.
00:03:13And what a lovely day for it.
00:03:14I'm afraid this is the only family photograph my mother kept.
00:03:21Those are my grandparents with my mother Hannah, her sister Jessie, and their brother Richard.
00:03:26She was estranged from all of them.
00:03:28It's something she never talked about.
00:03:30So what made her change her mind?
00:03:32She knew she didn't have long left.
00:03:36Wanted to get her house in order before it was too late.
00:03:39But I could see how painful it was for her to go back there.
00:03:43Why is that?
00:03:44Jessie was her baby sister.
00:03:46The only member of her family she ever cared about.
00:03:48But she felt she had to cut off from all of them in order to survive.
00:03:54That's why I'm doing this.
00:03:55To honour Mum's dying wish.
00:03:58To find Jessie and tell her how much she loved her.
00:04:02And how guilty she felt for abandoning her.
00:04:05Well, all we know so far is that your family came from a village called Galsworthy in Midsummer.
00:04:10Okay.
00:04:11Your uncle still lives there but he's reluctant to get involved.
00:04:15So, where do we go from here?
00:04:19To Galsworthy.
00:04:19Okay.
00:04:20So, I've booked us into the village pub and set up a meeting tomorrow with a local historian.
00:04:24Just ask her to see what she can come up with.
00:04:27And your uncle?
00:04:28I'll just keep trying.
00:04:28I don't want to upset him.
00:04:30It's a bit of a bolt from the blue.
00:04:31Yeah.
00:04:32Look, sometimes people, they just need a bit of a nudge.
00:04:37All he can say is no.
00:04:50If you insist on being here, the least you can do is stick to your own area.
00:05:04I'll go wherever I like.
00:05:06Just trying to wind us up, Richard.
00:05:08Don't give him the satisfaction.
00:05:09Rufus used to be a friend.
00:05:11Can we all just try and be civil?
00:05:12You can't be civil with these barbarians.
00:05:16Hey!
00:05:17What the hell are you playing at?
00:05:18Sorry, mate.
00:05:19Didn't see you there.
00:05:21Is that right?
00:05:22Come on, then.
00:05:22Let's have it.
00:05:23See who comes off worse.
00:05:27I think you're still ready.
00:05:30Richard.
00:05:32I need your expert opinion.
00:05:35Why can't?
00:05:37Looks like an ampulla from the Thomas Beckett Shrine.
00:05:40That was in my bucket.
00:05:41Belongs to me.
00:05:43You only found it by chance.
00:05:44Lead isn't even magnetic.
00:05:46Find us keep us, Johnny boy.
00:05:47And by the way you're all looking at it, must be worth a bob or two.
00:05:51The ampulla and the Thomas Beckett badge you often found together.
00:05:54Where were you casting when you found it?
00:05:55Why would I tell you that?
00:05:57Might be loads more of them.
00:05:58Well, then I'll tell the police about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare.
00:06:02You're still out on license.
00:06:04Aren't you, Cole?
00:06:05They'll send you straight back.
00:06:06Johnny.
00:06:09I'll kill you first.
00:06:10It's not worth it, Johnny.
00:06:15If it's here, you'll find it.
00:06:22Let's have a look.
00:06:23What do you think?
00:06:28Well, he's right.
00:06:29Here's Leigh.
00:06:30That's good.
00:06:30Richard.
00:06:41Look, don't open it!
00:06:43Oh.
00:06:43Oh, God.
00:06:46Oh.
00:06:53Yeah.
00:06:54It's a Wiccan jar, also known as a witch's jar.
00:07:00Probably 17th century.
00:07:02Unopened, they were thought to protect against the spirits of evil.
00:07:05But if the seal was broken, the forces of evil were believed to be set free.
00:07:09So I've unleashed evil.
00:07:12On myself.
00:07:12Oh, superstitious nonsense.
00:07:15It gets worse if the jar is open near water.
00:07:18It's said that the ghosts of the foreshore come back to life to take their victims with them.
00:07:25Don't listen to him, Johnny.
00:07:26Don't.
00:07:30Thanks for watching, guys.
00:07:31And if you haven't already, don't forget to like and subscribe.
00:07:34All merch available via the link.
00:07:36Happy magnetarian!
00:07:38Bye, then.
00:07:39See you tomorrow.
00:07:40Thinking of coming to the Blessing of the River Ceremony.
00:07:42I've seen the light at last.
00:07:44Now, that would be a miracle.
00:07:45But if there are blessings to be added, then why shouldn't we have some of them?
00:07:49Though it's you lot who need to get lucky.
00:07:51Not us.
00:07:52That's just a fair.
00:07:54I'll never get up in time.
00:07:55One can, but I hope.
00:07:58I'm heading back.
00:07:59Yeah, me too.
00:08:00I'm getting cold.
00:08:01I can give you a lift.
00:08:02Thanks, I'd rather walk.
00:08:04Johnny?
00:08:06William, shall I take the jar?
00:08:09Someone needs to report it.
00:08:12The jar?
00:08:13Yeah, yeah.
00:08:13That would be much appreciated.
00:08:18William, is there something wrong?
00:08:21No, no.
00:08:23Everything's fine.
00:08:23No, no.
00:08:24Oh, my God.
00:08:54Thanks for letting me know, Jacob.
00:09:15Yeah, of course, of course.
00:09:16I'll make sure everyone's aware.
00:09:18Okay.
00:09:19Bye.
00:09:20Sam!
00:09:21I'm going to find out, Mom.
00:09:39I promise.
00:09:40I'm going to find out.
00:10:11Hello?
00:10:13Oh, hello.
00:10:14What?
00:10:16Wait.
00:10:17Are you sure about that?
00:10:20No, no, no.
00:10:21Hold on a second.
00:10:22I just need to write this down.
00:10:24Hang on.
00:10:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:54Help!
00:11:08Somebody!
00:11:10Help me!
00:11:12Please!
00:11:24The way we every bird endow
00:11:28Grace our spirits will deliver
00:11:32And provide us a robe and crown
00:11:36Yes, we'll gather at the river
00:11:40The beautiful, the beautiful river
00:11:43Gather with the space of the river
00:11:47That flows by the throne of God
00:11:51Morning, Vicar!
00:11:54You see that, look, he's really not happy
00:11:57Judge not, lest ye be judged
00:12:01Isn't that what the Bible says?
00:12:04Yeah, but the man's a hypocrite
00:12:05Preaches one thing, does the opposite
00:12:07Well, at least he's not a Judas, like Johnny
00:12:12Talking of Johnny, where is he?
00:12:16Right, we've made our point, let's go to the pub
00:12:18Are we here now?
00:12:20Bless him, won't do any of us any harm
00:12:21Especially you, Cole
00:12:23Gracious God, we pray for all those poor souls
00:12:28Lost to our rivers and waterways
00:12:30Who these flowers represent
00:12:33In Christianity, water can symbolize both life and death
00:12:38And is a central symbol in the sacrament of baptism
00:12:42A moment of spiritual purification
00:12:45Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
00:13:15on some local history I just felt mixing with the glitter art he doesn't turn your head be
00:13:19Hollywood next quite fancy a life of sun surfing celebrity drama what do you think you give any
00:13:26film star a run for her money I don't know about that but thank you all right sir time we left for
00:13:31our decidedly unglamorous day job I don't know there's always the potential for a bit of real
00:13:35life drama careful what you wish for sir DCI Barnaby good morning not so good for our victim
00:13:50cause of death drowning and by the look of him I reckon he'd been in the water no longer than 24
00:13:57hours there have been reports of a sinkhole in the stretch of river and sinkholes combined with silt
00:14:04can be a particularly dangerous combination so no evidence of foul play not obviously
00:14:09then um what am I doing here according to witnesses on the scene the victim was a local man last seen
00:14:16alive yesterday evening his jacket was found along with a bag containing a phone a wallet and a notebook
00:14:21they confirmed his identity as Jonathan David Hoxham this was found in the pocket
00:14:27memento mori is latin means remember that you have to die who knew winter could speak latin
00:14:36you're wasted as a plod I'm not a I'm a detective detective sergeant sir it's so easy to wind up
00:14:44it's delicious if we could possibly get back to the master at hand I won't know anymore until I've done
00:14:49the post-boughton I'll be in touch so our victim had a reminder of the inevitability of death and
00:15:00then turns up drowned why did he come here was he meeting someone digital forensics trying to unlock
00:15:06his phone where exactly was the body found into the jetty sir Reverend William Gideon was conducting a
00:15:13river blessing when his wife saw the body in the water he and his mud larking group were here
00:15:18yesterday afternoon and Johnny Hoxham was a keen member according to Mrs Gideon there was another
00:15:24mud larking group here at the same time but they left before he did were the Gideons that asked people
00:15:28to see Mr Hoxham alive yeah said he was going home and left alone Mrs Gideon can't understand why he came
00:15:34back well let's talk to both groups find out if anything happened yesterday that might shed some light
00:15:41so he's expecting you absolutely he's not back yet
00:16:09we're happy to wait
00:16:12thank you
00:16:17Johnny Hoxham was a devout member of the St Leonard's family and a passionate member of the Midsummer
00:16:23Mudlocks his loss is a tragedy for the whole village community
00:16:26did Mr Hoxham have any enemies but it was an accident surely yeah we have to keep an open mind at this
00:16:34stage Mrs Gideon I understand you were the last people to see Mr Hoxham
00:16:39well technically that was William I started walking home while they were still at the river
00:16:43yeah Johnny left soon after and Richard Clisold was offered him a lift earlier but he declined
00:16:49and Richard Clisold is?
00:16:51he's a fellow mud larking old family friend
00:16:53I took over the ministry when his father retired
00:16:56did anything happen at the river that could have upset Mr Hoxham?
00:17:04uh
00:17:05new research suggested that there could have been a pilgrim hostel near Hollybrook
00:17:10Johnny was hoping to find a rare Thomas Beckett badge to complete his collection
00:17:15then an ampulla badge was found by Cole Densmore a member of the Midsummer Magneteers another mud larking group in the area
00:17:22the ampulla and Thomas Beckett badge are often found together so
00:17:27Johnny got excited that he might find one in the same location but Cole refused to tell him exactly where he found it
00:17:34in fact Cole seemed to be enjoying taunting him but that wasn't unusual
00:17:38what do you mean?
00:17:41well the mud larks are keen historians and ecologists
00:17:43we research respectfully for evidence of the past in order to build collections of local historical importance
00:17:49and the Midsummer Magneteers?
00:17:51well they use heavy high strength magnets to amass large quantities of metal for cash
00:17:56and their gung-ho attitude causes untold damage to the environment
00:18:01which is a source of conflict?
00:18:04yeah unfortunately yes
00:18:05there was something else
00:18:07Johnny found a rare Wiccan jar in the river
00:18:11which is what exactly?
00:18:13a sealed 17th century witches jar
00:18:15believed to curse whoever opens it
00:18:17sadly that was Johnny
00:18:20yes as a Christian I abhor superstition but
00:18:23it's an unfortunate coincidence that Johnny died later that day
00:18:28where is this jar now?
00:18:31Richard took it with him
00:18:33significant artefacts need to be registered
00:18:35where might I find him?
00:18:38they're waiting in the sitting room
00:18:48what the hell are they doing here?
00:18:51they said you were expecting them
00:18:52I didn't know what to do
00:18:53go home Mary
00:18:56I'll deal with this
00:18:57Mr. Clifsolde?
00:19:03I thought I made myself perfectly clear
00:19:05we were in the area and your niece was very keen to meet you
00:19:09Uncle Richard
00:19:12I'm Lucy
00:19:13Hannah's daughter
00:19:15fine
00:19:18I'll answer your questions
00:19:20but under no circumstances will I appear on your television programme
00:19:24is that understood?
00:19:26perfectly
00:19:26these bills are you paying today?
00:19:31it's all under control Gem
00:19:33I can't tax on his way
00:19:34well what if you get caught?
00:19:35things are getting out of hand
00:19:37fine
00:19:37Mr. and Mrs. Westcott
00:19:39DS Winter
00:19:40Causton CID
00:19:41what can we do for you?
00:19:43body was found in the river this morning
00:19:45I know
00:19:45I was there
00:19:46no one knew what was going on
00:19:47he's now been formally identified as Johnny Hoxham
00:19:49he drowned near where you were mudlarking yesterday afternoon
00:19:52Johnny?
00:19:52but
00:19:53why would he go back in there after the warning?
00:19:55what warning?
00:19:56I got a call from Jacob Mitchell
00:19:57he farms the land around Hollybrook
00:19:59one of his lads had seen us heading down there
00:20:01Jacob's lost sheep to a sinkhole in the river
00:20:03and he wanted us to know exactly where it was
00:20:05so I put an alert on the magnateer's chat
00:20:07did you share that information with the mudlarks?
00:20:09well I didn't have to
00:20:10Jacob said he'd already told the vicar
00:20:12we understand that there's some unfriendly rivalry between you and the mudlarks
00:20:16was there any friction at Hollybrook?
00:20:18just the usual sparring banter
00:20:20I see you've got your own advice
00:20:22I see you've got your own channel
00:20:25over 5,000 followers now
00:20:27did you film any content yesterday?
00:20:30yeah but
00:20:31nothing interesting
00:20:33I'll still need to see it
00:20:35it's so strange
00:20:37my mother grew up in this beautiful house
00:20:39but I had no idea it even existed until yesterday
00:20:42unfortunately your mother rejected our family in the most hurtful and destructive way
00:20:47Jessica always admired her so followed suit
00:20:50how can you be sure Jessica didn't want to come back?
00:20:53she left a note making herself very clear
00:20:56my father kept it
00:21:00in case there was ever any doubt
00:21:03thank you
00:21:05as you can see she despised us and everything we stood for
00:21:09and states quite clearly she wishes no one to come after her
00:21:13Leo
00:21:14yeah
00:21:15but the letter is signed Leo
00:21:17she saw herself as a lion
00:21:19caged here against her will
00:21:21calling herself Leo was another way of further distancing herself from us
00:21:25is it okay if I photograph it?
00:21:27no it is not
00:21:28did your parents notify the police when she left?
00:21:31my father was obliged to report it
00:21:33but since there were no suspicious circumstances that was the end of it
00:21:37and they never tried to contact her?
00:21:40my parents had to draw a line
00:21:43we had to get on with our own lives
00:21:45what exactly happened the night she left?
00:21:48if you'll excuse me
00:21:50I need to talk to a police officer about the tragic death of a friend
00:21:53I'm so sorry
00:21:54but thank you for seeing us
00:21:56I'd love to talk more if
00:21:58there's nothing more to say
00:21:59forgive my skepticism
00:22:01but you're clearly just doing this to increase your celebrity profile
00:22:04I want no part in it
00:22:05DCI Barnaby do come in
00:22:07they're just leaving
00:22:08they're just leaving
00:22:24the art of mudlarking lies in the ability to spot things invisible to others
00:22:28what we call getting your eye in
00:22:30the mistake is in looking too hard
00:22:32very much like my own job
00:22:35how well did you know Mr. Hoxham?
00:22:38we were more colleagues than friends
00:22:41both fascinated by the history attached to objects we found
00:22:45I understand there was some conflict between the two mudlarking groups yesterday afternoon
00:22:51did any of that involve Mr. Hoxham specifically?
00:22:54not that I'm aware of
00:22:59Reverend Gideon told us about the discovery of the Wiccan jar
00:23:02I believe you have it
00:23:03why yes
00:23:04the jar
00:23:11here it is
00:23:13not very pleasant I'm afraid
00:23:15I've reported it to the portable antiquity scheme
00:23:18they'll be taking it off my hands
00:23:21could he have been deliberately placed for Mr. Hoxham to find as a warning of some kind?
00:23:27highly unlikely
00:23:29it's clear Johnny saw it as a bad omen
00:23:32which makes it all the more puzzling why he should choose to return
00:23:35there's a history of rivalry and antagonism between the mudlarks and the magneteers
00:23:56but apart from the discovery of the Wiccan jar
00:24:00both sides seem to agree nothing unusual happened yesterday
00:24:03I'm not sure they're being entirely honest
00:24:05so this footage was downloaded from Gemma Westcott's phone
00:24:09it was intended as content for the magneteers channel
00:24:12where were you casting when you found it?
00:24:14why would I tell you that?
00:24:15might be lots more of them
00:24:16but then I'll tell the police
00:24:18about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare
00:24:21you're still out on license, aren't you Colt?
00:24:23they'll send you straight back Johnny
00:24:27I'll kill you first
00:24:28this was witnessed by both groups, why didn't anyone mention it?
00:24:34oh, Mrs. Gideon said that Cole enjoyed taunting Johnny
00:24:39so it's possible nobody took it seriously
00:24:41we need to talk to Cole Densmore
00:24:43and there's another thing, Freddie Westcott said that a local farmer called him
00:24:46to warn him about the sinkhole
00:24:47when was this?
00:24:48after they got back from the river
00:24:49Freddie said that he circulated it on the magneteers chat
00:24:51claimed that the farmer made the same call to Reverend Gideon
00:24:53he didn't say anything to Maeve
00:24:56oh, yeah, and finally
00:24:58thank you
00:25:00digital managed to access Johnny Hoxham's cloud
00:25:04someone called him at 1834
00:25:07then, according to his notebook
00:25:1027 minutes later
00:25:12he was back at the river
00:25:13whoever called Johnny told him
00:25:15that they'd seen a Thomas Beckett badge
00:25:17and pinpointed its exact location
00:25:19is the number traceable?
00:25:20it's from an old phone box in the village
00:25:22so
00:25:27Johnny Hoxham was deliberately lured to his death
00:25:31hmm
00:25:35this, this is great
00:25:37do you have any information on Jessie specifically
00:25:39apart from the birth certificate?
00:25:40well, her leaving was reported in the local press
00:25:43oh, well
00:25:44as Vicar of Galsworthy
00:25:46your grandfather was a powerful and highly respected figure in the village
00:25:50Jessie's decision to leave so soon after your mother's disappearance
00:25:53was of great interest to the community
00:25:55according to this article
00:25:57she caught the London train at 7.35pm on Wednesday the 14th of May
00:26:01she left with her bike and whatever she could fit into her panniers
00:26:04as witnessed by Mary Hamble, the housekeeper's daughter
00:26:07sources close to the family confirmed that Miss Clisold had threatened to leave before
00:26:11a note was found leaving them in no doubt that she left of her own free will
00:26:16Richard Clisold still has it
00:26:17oh
00:26:18and after she left?
00:26:20well, the trail goes cold I'm afraid
00:26:23if Jessie changed her name or she left the country it could be very difficult to trace her
00:26:29I'll get our team to look into it
00:26:30what about friends?
00:26:31she may have stayed in touch with someone outside the family
00:26:34well, I can find out which school she attended and take it from there
00:26:37and Mary Hamble, she might be able to help you
00:26:39she was a similar age
00:26:41and knew the family
00:26:42yeah, we met her briefly earlier
00:26:44she, erm, she cleans for Richard Clisold
00:26:46and I think she still lives
00:26:49at this address
00:26:51oh, this is
00:26:53thank you
00:26:54thank you
00:26:55DCI Barnaby has a few more questions, will you?
00:26:58er, the church flowers are all done, Alice
00:27:00so, er
00:27:01I'll leave you to it
00:27:05I'm sorry to disturb you again so soon
00:27:08this is my colleague, DS Winter
00:27:10yeah, of course, er
00:27:11I need some help
00:27:13we understand you received a warning about the sinkhole from a local farmer, Jacob Mitchell
00:27:18you failed to share this warning with other members of your group
00:27:22you also failed to share it with me
00:27:25yeah, I'm ashamed to say that's true, erm
00:27:28you know, when Jacob rang, I was writing my sermon for the river blessing
00:27:33and I hung up clumsily spilling tea everywhere
00:27:36so I'm afraid the call won't clean out of my mind
00:27:38Freddie Westcott received the same warning and immediately circulated it amongst the magneteers
00:27:42if you've done that, Johnny Hoxham might be alive now
00:27:47yeah, which er
00:27:49which I regret to the end of my days
00:27:52but it didn't occur to me that anyone would return to the river that night
00:27:57so, which is it?
00:27:59did you forget?
00:28:00or did you think no one would return to the river?
00:28:03Johnny wasn't the only one there
00:28:05when I was walking home I saw Cole Densmore on the opposite bank
00:28:09heading back towards Hollybrook
00:28:18we need to talk to Cole Densmore
00:28:20at the very least he could be an important witness
00:28:22unless William Gideon used the farmer's warning to near Johnny Hoxham to his death
00:28:26and Mrs. Gideon's statement is just a lie to protect him
00:28:30her sudden recollection is rather convenient
00:28:33but why would Reverend Gideon want Johnny Hoxham dead?
00:28:37hmm, no idea
00:28:39Cole Densmore's still their only suspect with a motive
00:28:42but he hasn't responded to any of our calls requesting an interview
00:28:45then Mohammed will have to go to the Mount
00:29:01Mrs. Hamble
00:29:02I don't like being lied to
00:29:03I understand, if you could just give us five minutes we can explain
00:29:06you knew my Aunt Jessie
00:29:07we're the last person to see her
00:29:09I made my statement at the time
00:29:11it's all on record, there's nothing more to say
00:29:13yes
00:29:14and Mrs. Hamble if you-
00:29:15my loyalty is to the family that stayed
00:29:17not to those that walked away
00:29:19and I certainly don't approve of raking all this up again for a TV show
00:29:38time for a little fire Bobby
00:29:40turns out Cole Densmore is Goldsworthy's resident bad boy
00:29:45currently out on license for theft
00:29:49get off my property before I call the cops
00:29:51yeah, we are the cops
00:29:54Mr. Densmore
00:29:58I'm not talking out here so you better come in
00:30:01but I'm not making tea
00:30:02I assume you've got a license for that rather antiquated firearm
00:30:17don't need one
00:30:19got a collector who's going to take it off my hands
00:30:21it still needs to be registered as I'm sure you're aware
00:30:23but it's an antique, it's been underwater for years
00:30:25there are rules, Mr. Densmore
00:30:27okay
00:30:28I'll report it if it'll get you off my back
00:30:31what do you really want?
00:30:33I understand he had an altercation with Johnny Hoxham just hours before he died
00:30:38that was just banter
00:30:39it looked like a bit more than that from the footage we saw
00:30:42if you'd like me to refresh your memory
00:30:43okay
00:30:45so I wouldn't give him the ampulla for his epoxy collection
00:30:48why should I? I know I could get decent money for it
00:30:50you threatened to kill him, Mr. Densmore
00:30:53but I didn't
00:30:56does the, um, expression
00:30:57memento mori mean anything to you?
00:31:02the river isn't far from here
00:31:03did you go back there after everyone left?
00:31:05no, why would I?
00:31:06we have a witness who claims that
00:31:08they saw you on this side of the river
00:31:10heading towards Hollybrook
00:31:13and they need to get their eyes tested
00:31:15and if you're looking for someone with real beef with Johnny
00:31:17talk to Rufus Coulter
00:31:20he was a mudlark until Johnny grasped him up for not reporting any of the stuff he found
00:31:24what happened?
00:31:25the vicar threw him out in his ear
00:31:26after God knows how many years
00:31:28Rufus never forgave Johnny for that
00:31:31so he joined the magneteers?
00:31:33he's a hoarder
00:31:34total weirdo
00:31:37but they'll take anyone
00:31:39so it seems
00:31:41we'll be in touch, Mr. Densmore
00:31:43what is it?
00:31:45what is it?
00:31:58if you hear the policeman up here
00:31:59don't panic, okay?
00:32:01they got nothing on me
00:32:02I suppose those tears are for Johnny?
00:32:14I know
00:32:16of course they are
00:32:17he was a good friend
00:32:19yeah, the way you were together made that perfectly clear
00:32:21oh William, please not this again
00:32:24I cared about him, that's all
00:32:27just wish you cared about me like that
00:32:29no
00:32:33not sure you ever have
00:32:40I know who your celebrity is, we crossed paths earlier
00:32:45anything to do with your murder investigation?
00:32:48sorry, strictly a need to know basis
00:32:52it is intriguing though, isn't it?
00:32:54our paths crossing professionally like this
00:32:56yeah, investigating the same case from very different angles
00:33:01we could both end up on telly at this rate
00:33:04no, my show will only get made if the story has enough layers to keep the viewers intrigued
00:33:10which unless there's a massive plot twist is looking very unlikely
00:33:14in my experience that can happen when you least expect it
00:33:16what exactly was found?
00:33:17it's the health of a sword, possibly 8th century
00:33:18oh, there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement in this area, so potentially very exciting
00:33:19but should we really be out so soon mudlarking?
00:33:20it's the health of a sword, possibly 8th century
00:33:21oh, there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement in this area, so potentially very exciting
00:33:25but should we really be out so soon mudlarking?
00:33:28it's what johnny would have wanted
00:33:29if we find something special we can make sure it's dedicated to his memory
00:33:31yeah, and as Sir Henry's given us exclusive rights to investigate
00:33:32it's just in time for tea, vicar!
00:33:34it's the health of a sword, possibly 8th century
00:33:37what exactly was found?
00:33:38it's the health of a sword, possibly 8th century
00:33:40oh, there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement in this area, so potentially very exciting
00:33:45but should we really be out so soon mudlarking?
00:33:48it's what johnny would have wanted
00:33:50if we find something special we can make sure it's dedicated to his memory
00:33:53yeah, and as Sir Henry's given us exclusive rights to investigate
00:33:56it's just in time for tea, vicar!
00:34:02leave now, or I will call the police
00:34:05oh, that's not very nice, reverend
00:34:07this is private land and you don't have permission to be here
00:34:10says who?
00:34:11Sir Henry's gamekeeper's one of our regulars
00:34:13did it with his boss for us to check it out
00:34:15he said we might find some Anglo-Saxon gold
00:34:18gold isn't magnetic, so you're wasting your time
00:34:22Anglo-Saxons were con artists
00:34:24made coins that looked like gold
00:34:27but were mostly bog standard... metal
00:34:31still worth a bob or two?
00:34:33you should know that Dicky, being an historian
00:34:37any news on who killed poor old johnny?
00:34:39last we heard, they were questioning you vicar
00:34:41been to see you twice, I believe
00:34:46if you're implying I had something to do with it
00:34:48William, let it go
00:34:50hasn't there been enough trouble?
00:34:52let's start on the foreshore
00:34:55sorry to keep you, couldn't get Paddy in from the garden
00:35:05he's become obsessed with digging
00:35:07I can see that
00:35:09any developments I should know about?
00:35:12Cole Densmore's phone places him home all evening
00:35:14just because his phone was there, it doesn't mean he was
00:35:17no, but the background check on Rufus Coulter is much more interesting
00:35:20Johnny Hoxham lodged an official complaint against him
00:35:23accusing him of what?
00:35:24harassment
00:35:25he'd been receiving anonymous hate mail
00:35:27he suspected Rufus Coulter, but nothing was ever proved
00:35:31here, some examples
00:35:39Rufus Coulter blamed Johnny Hoxham for shaming him within the mud larking community he loved
00:35:45the question is
00:35:47how far would he go to exact revenge?
00:35:52Ken?
00:35:53Ken, make sure you're getting this
00:35:55Cole, get over here, Cole
00:35:56oh, this is Anglo-Saxon gold, we're billionaires
00:36:01yeah

00:37:19I think it's a nice thing
00:37:20to do
00:37:21to be out of my home
00:37:22I think I've been
00:37:23getting hurt
00:37:24in my room
00:37:25for the huge
00:37:25long
00:37:26oh
00:37:28it's unbelievable
00:37:29how can anyone live in there?
00:37:30hopefully
00:37:31we'll find out
00:37:32Find out.
00:37:38Mr. Coulter, it's the police!
00:37:40Just a minute!
00:37:44Bobby, come back here now.
00:37:48You'll come home when he's hungry.
00:37:49Sorry to keep you.
00:37:51It's my heart that slows me down.
00:37:55Come through.
00:38:02What's this all about then?
00:38:06We understand that you and Mr. Hoxham are involved in an ongoing feud.
00:38:11And you're putting two and two together and thinking I killed him?
00:38:14No one said that, Mr. Coulter.
00:38:16Good.
00:38:18Because like I said, I've got heart problems.
00:38:21Ask my doctor.
00:38:23I'm not capable of hurting anyone.
00:38:26But Mr. Hoxham believed you were capable of seeking revenge
00:38:29by sending anonymous notes designed to frighten him.
00:38:33The man was deluded.
00:38:36Nothing was ever proved.
00:38:38This was found at the scene.
00:38:39In Mr. Hoxham's jacket.
00:38:41Doesn't mean it's from me, does it?
00:38:43You knew about the sinkhole from the magnateer's chat group.
00:38:47So did everyone else.
00:38:48So why pick on me?
00:38:52The last call that Mr. Hoxham received was from a phone box.
00:38:55Was that you, Mr. Coulter?
00:38:57No.
00:38:58So you're wasting your time.
00:39:08I'd like you to go now.
00:39:10I need to rest.
00:39:11I can't handle the stress.
00:39:14If you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:39:16I've told you everything I know.
00:39:19I'll just leave it there.
00:39:21You can see yourselves out.
00:39:28Come on, Vicar, pick up.
00:39:42Please.
00:39:43Freddie, babe.
00:39:44What are you up to?
00:39:45This little beauty is an Anglo-Saxon figurine.
00:39:58Extremely rare, apparently.
00:39:59You're gonna have to declare it.
00:40:00We're already in way too deep.
00:40:02It'll be fine, babe.
00:40:03We just need to hold our nerve.
00:40:11Production want me back in London.
00:40:13Look, it's okay.
00:40:14I'll get the team to check out whether Jessie changed her identity or moved abroad.
00:40:19And if that doesn't work, we can look into other members of your family and see where that takes us.
00:40:25Finding Jessie's the only reason I agreed to do this.
00:40:28And I'm not ready to give up yet.
00:40:30Okay.
00:40:32Okay.
00:41:00Vicar, thank God you're there now.
00:41:10I really need your help.
00:41:13I called Freddie, but the police don't trust him.
00:41:16You're the only one I can turn to.
00:41:30Hi.
00:41:33Um, I'd like to stay another night, if that's okay.
00:41:36Oh, no problem.
00:41:37Um, I meant to ask you, um, I heard you talking about Jessie Clissolt?
00:41:42She's my aunt.
00:41:43People seem to think we found her old bike this morning in the river on the estate.
00:41:50But that's not possible.
00:41:52Maybe they got it wrong.
00:41:53Just thought I'd say.
00:41:55Yes, of course.
00:42:00Vicar.
00:42:09Thank God.
00:42:12I'm in the kitchen!
00:42:16Vicar?
00:42:23So, Jessie went to Everglade House.
00:42:25It was a Catholic school for what used to be called troubled girls.
00:42:28I'm still trying to get hold of the old school role, but I did manage to find this.
00:42:33It's a copy of her last school report.
00:42:36Oh, wow.
00:42:39Jessica is extremely intelligent, but her rebellious nature makes her stubborn and hard to control.
00:42:46She sounds just like Mum.
00:42:47Well, that's all I have so far. Any developments your end?
00:42:52Yeah. Um, a bike was found in the river today.
00:42:57People believe it could be Jessie's, but that doesn't make any sense.
00:43:01Can you ask your Uncle Richard about it?
00:43:04He made it very clear that the door was closed.
00:43:06But I refuse to give up hope.
00:43:09Well, with or without him, we're getting closer.
00:43:11We're getting closer.
00:43:12Yeah, that's the way.
00:43:14You've got to look back home.
00:43:15I didn't know who I had to look back.
00:43:16What are you doing?
00:43:17Will it be the only new new new new new new new new new new new new new?
00:43:19Can you ask me if I want to go?
00:43:20Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.
00:43:22Okay, let's have to get away.
00:43:23Let's go.
00:43:24Is it a coincidence that a suspect in Johnny Hoxham's murder is now a victim himself?
00:43:44Statistics would say no, sir.
00:43:46Let's find out.
00:43:49Reverend Gideon, we understand that you raised the alarm.
00:43:52Yes, Rufus called me. Sounded dreadful.
00:43:57Although we'd had our differences, he wanted my help.
00:44:01Did he say why?
00:44:02The magnateers pulled a bike out of the river this morning, and Richard Plissol recognised it.
00:44:10He said it belonged to his younger sister, Jessie. I'm sure of it.
00:44:14Why is that significant?
00:44:15It was the bike that Jessie was meant to have left with.
00:44:19According to Richard, her bike had a pair of Tartan panniers, and when it was pulled out of the river, only one remained.
00:44:27Rufus told me that he'd found the other pannier in exactly the same part of the river over 30 years ago.
00:44:34Which would be 10 years after Jessie left the village.
00:44:37Yeah, yeah, I believe so.
00:44:38Why would Mr. Coulter be interested in an old bike pannier?
00:44:42Well, Rufus, he collected everything, but this time he got lucky.
00:44:47Inside the pannier, he said he'd found a necklace.
00:44:51How's that relevant?
00:44:52Well, you were already questioning him about Johnny's murder, and he worried that if it was found in his possession,
00:45:01it could connect him to whatever happened to Jessie, that he'd be accused of killing her, too.
00:45:06So he asked me to take it.
00:45:08Where has the necklace been all this time?
00:45:11His gallery.
00:45:12His gallery? What does that mean?
00:45:14I have no idea.
00:45:17He promised to tell me everything when I came to the house, but I was too late.
00:45:22And where is the necklace now?
00:45:27Rufus said he brought it up from storage, but I couldn't see it anywhere.
00:45:41Breathe in, gents.
00:45:43It's a bit of a squeeze.
00:45:45You mentioned cardiac issues.
00:45:47Is that what killed him?
00:45:48An arrest has no visible signs, so we'll have to wait for the PM.
00:45:51But I'm concerned that the pile that crushed him was deliberately destabilised.
00:45:58I just need to prove it.
00:46:00So have all those equations, if all.
00:46:02It's all about angles, Winter.
00:46:04I once had a lover who was a champion skier.
00:46:08Of course you did.
00:46:10We went off feast in San Maritz and discovered a man who supposedly had fallen to his death.
00:46:16I knew immediately it was foul play.
00:46:19How?
00:46:19It's called the physics of a fall, based on analysis of the trajectory and impact site, angles, laws of motion.
00:46:31And you can calculate all of that with a tape measure?
00:46:34Laser distance meter.
00:46:37I'm not that much of a Luddite, Winter.
00:46:39What happened to your relationship with the sphere?
00:46:42I'm afraid that all went rapidly downhill.
00:46:47Nice abs, but dreadfully dull.
00:46:50I moved on with a handsome snowboarder.
00:46:53Not a clue that he was a senior member of the royal family.
00:46:57Who was it?
00:46:58They made me sign an NDA, I'm afraid.
00:47:01But it'll all be in my memoirs.
00:47:02It'll all be in my memoirs.
00:47:09She'll never cease this to amaze.
00:47:11Sir, Rufus Coulter told William Gideon that he brought the necklace up from storage.
00:47:17But up from where?
00:47:19It could be an outbuilding or garage further down the hill.
00:47:23Yeah, or a cellar.
00:47:39A cellar.
00:47:44Well done, Winter.
00:47:46Down you go.
00:47:53I think we found Rufus Coulter's gallery, sir.
00:48:15Classic serial killer behaviour, sir.
00:48:17Trophies kept symbolised the killer's conquest over their victims.
00:48:21Could Jesse Clissol be one of them?
00:48:22And Fleur's trying to ID the recovered body parts from their DNA.
00:48:27It's a long shot, but we might get lucky.
00:48:29We seized the bite that the magneteers pulled from the river.
00:48:32And the contents of the pannier confirmed that it belonged to Jesse Clissol.
00:48:35Anything of interest?
00:48:37An ID with her purse, some cash, and some degraded items of clothing.
00:48:43She clearly intended to leave that day.
00:48:45Richard Clissol said that his family reported Jesse's disappearance to the police.
00:48:50See if there's any evidence of that in the archive.
00:48:52Any news on the missing necklace?
00:48:58Our team is still searching the property for it.
00:49:00I don't envy them sifting through that lot.
00:49:03If, as we now believe, that Rufus Coulter went down to his cellar to retrieve the necklace,
00:49:10why wasn't it found on his person?
00:49:12How does this connect to Johnny Hoxham's murder?
00:49:17Oh, Sir Fleur's got something for us.
00:49:21Results show that Mr. Coulter did indeed suffer a cardiac arrest at the time he was crushed.
00:49:26And my measurements came good with time.
00:49:31As you can see, physics suggest the tower was deliberately pushed.
00:49:36But, uh, that's not all.
00:49:39Mr. Coulter had an implantable cardioverted defibrillator,
00:49:44a preventative measure for those at risk of cardiac arrest,
00:49:47but the device had been deliberately disabled.
00:49:50By being in close proximity to a powerful magnet.
00:49:55Like a large fishing magnet?
00:49:58Gold Star Winter.
00:49:59It would need to be positioned less than six inches away from his heart,
00:50:04but no magnet was found close to the body.
00:50:06Could it be anything else?
00:50:07Traces of neodymium, iron and boron were found on his chest area,
00:50:13so, in my opinion, a magnet was held over the victim's heart while he was still alive.
00:50:19Rufus Coulter's background check has just come in.
00:50:22Oh?
00:50:22Nothing remarkable other than how minted he was, given the scholar he lived in.
00:50:26But legal has come up with something interesting.
00:50:29Rufus Coulter left everything in his will to Freddy and Gemma Westcott.
00:50:33Oh, sorry. So sorry to bother you, Mrs. Gideon.
00:50:51Your husband said you might be here.
00:50:53I'm Lucy Weaving.
00:50:54Yes, of course.
00:50:56How can I help?
00:50:57I'm trying to trace my Aunt Jessie.
00:50:59Jessica Clisold.
00:51:00I understand you were there when her bike was found?
00:51:03Yes.
00:51:04It was a bit of a shock.
00:51:07Poor Richard seemed very upset.
00:51:11It's probably just a coincidence.
00:51:13But I worry that the recent murders and Jessie's disappearance might be connected somehow.
00:51:19I'm assuming you knew her.
00:51:20I knew of her, but I didn't really have any friends in the village apart from William.
00:51:25I spent my youth combing the river, collecting whatever I could find to use in my artworks.
00:51:30That's one of mine, all made from mudlarking finds.
00:51:40The river drew William and I together.
00:51:44He's a little bit older than me, but we shared a passion for mudlarking.
00:51:47It's beautiful.
00:51:49Oh, thank you.
00:51:49There's something wonderful about bringing new life to things that would otherwise be lost forever.
00:51:59You didn't seem very upset about Mr. Coulter's death, Mr. Westcott.
00:52:03By how it was expected, given his art condition.
00:52:05But you must have been close for him to make you the sole beneficiaries of his will.
00:52:10And given the state of your business, the timing seems pretty convenient.
00:52:13It's not what you think.
00:52:14Rufus had never been popular in the village.
00:52:16He was eccentric, harmless.
00:52:18He just couldn't let anything go.
00:52:19Which is why he was so angry when Johnny grassed him up.
00:52:23The heritage lot confiscated loads of his most treasured finds.
00:52:26He was distraught.
00:52:28Rufus knew he would never make old bones.
00:52:30So he asked us to take care of the rest of it after he'd gone.
00:52:33I said yes.
00:52:34And will you?
00:52:36You're joking, aren't you?
00:52:38I'll sell anything that's worth something.
00:52:40Take the rest of the dump.
00:52:41What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
00:52:44But he was hurt, Mrs. Westcott.
00:52:45Quite deliberately.
00:52:47I thought he had heart attack.
00:52:49He did, but his defibrillator implant failed because someone held a magnet over his heart to disable it.
00:52:54Just like the ones you use.
00:52:56Oh, hang on a minute.
00:52:57You clearly had motive, given the state of your business.
00:53:00And you knew that the inheritance would solve all your problems.
00:53:03And you had the means.
00:53:04Rufus had his own magnets.
00:53:06Anyone could have done it.
00:53:11DCI Barnaby.
00:53:16Lucy Weaving.
00:53:18We met briefly on my uncle's doorstep.
00:53:19I remember.
00:53:20This is my colleague, Dias Winter.
00:53:22How can we help?
00:53:23I'm concerned that my digging into Aunt Jessie's past might have something to do with the recent murders.
00:53:28Why would you think that?
00:53:29No one in the village seems to know anything.
00:53:31Or if they do, they won't talk to me.
00:53:34The vicar's wife says she barely knew her.
00:53:36My uncle Richard refuses to talk about it.
00:53:38And when I tried to speak to Mary Hamble about her, she shut the door in my face.
00:53:43I'm pretty sure she's hiding something.
00:53:46Well, thank you, Miss Weaving.
00:53:48Leave it with us.
00:53:48The police are out of me.
00:53:54I'm going to have to do this now.
00:53:57I don't think the Westcots realise how rich they're going to be.
00:53:59Not much to spend it on in prison.
00:54:02They both have motive for Rufus Coulter, but not, thank you, Johnny Hoxham,
00:54:06and there's no evidence to place them at either murder.
00:54:08Well, let's keep an open mind for now.
00:54:10Just got the initial tests back on the body parts in the cellar.
00:54:14It seems they date back to way before Rufus Coulter was even born.
00:54:19Backing up the Westcots' assertion that he treasured everything he found,
00:54:22however macabre.
00:54:23So, they were telling the truth about that, at least.
00:54:26Leave you to it, gentlemen.
00:54:29This is from archives about Jesse Clissold's disappearance.
00:54:32It seems that Clissolds accused her of stealing family jewellery.
00:54:36Notably, a very valuable 17th century posy ring.
00:54:40Made a note of the engraving to help identify it, should it be found.
00:54:45United Hearts, Death Only Parts.
00:54:48Several people said that they saw Jesse Clissold leave the village on her bike.
00:54:53Only Mary Hamble made a statement saying she saw her at the station,
00:54:56which Mrs. Hamble refused to discuss with Lucy Weaving.
00:55:00Why?
00:55:00We need to talk to her.
00:55:04In your statement, you claim that Jesse Clissold got on the train to London with her bike.
00:55:08The same bike that was found in the river this morning.
00:55:10Maybe I was confused.
00:55:13Jesse was never without a bike.
00:55:15It was such a long time ago.
00:55:16But you saw her at the station.
00:55:18You're absolutely sure of that?
00:55:19Of course I'm sure.
00:55:20Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:55:29Thank you for your time.
00:55:31Mary Hamble doesn't strike me as a person who gets confused.
00:55:50I agree.
00:55:51She knows exactly what she saw that day.
00:55:55Well, that's tech.
00:55:57Looks like Rufus Coulter called the vicarage twice before he died.
00:56:01Gideon's phone records reveal that the first call went to voicemail,
00:56:04but was subsequently deleted.
00:56:07The second call was answered.
00:56:10Reverend Gideon didn't mention a voicemail.
00:56:12Let's see if he's at home.
00:56:36Reverend Gideon.
00:56:42Sorry to disturb you.
00:56:46We tried the house, but there was no answer.
00:56:47I lost my bus, Ricky.
00:56:49I'll just get spares here somewhere, but no luck so far.
00:56:52How can I help?
00:56:53The calls you received from Rufus Coulter,
00:56:55there seems to be some discrepancy.
00:56:57Two calls were made to the vicarage from Mr. Coulter's mobile.
00:57:00The first one went to voicemail.
00:57:02A message was left that lasted over a minute.
00:57:04The second call was answered.
00:57:06You mentioned the call, but not the message.
00:57:09I never heard it.
00:57:10Generally, I have no idea how that could have happened.
00:57:13My wife was here.
00:57:14I was alone in the house.
00:57:16I see.
00:57:18Well, thank you for your time.
00:57:20We'll see ourselves out.
00:57:25William.
00:57:27I'm so sorry.
00:57:28There's something I haven't told you.
00:57:30I deleted that voicemail.
00:57:32Why?
00:57:33Rufus was so awful to Johnny,
00:57:34and I didn't see why we should help him.
00:57:36I need to tell them the truth.
00:57:37Okay, I'll hand them.
00:57:41Okay, I'll hand them.
00:57:41I'll hand them.
00:58:08Up to you old chicks, Carl!
00:58:18Reverend Gideon was the last person to have seen Johnny Hoxham alive
00:58:21and the first person to have seen Rufus called to dead, or so he claims.
00:58:25He had no explanation for the deleted voicemail
00:58:28and he failed to pass on the warning about the sinkhole.
00:58:31He had means and opportunity to kill both victims, but...
00:58:34Yes, Winter.
00:58:35What's the motive?
00:58:38We are. Okay, all right. Well, we'll be right down.
00:58:42Cole Densmore is in custody.
00:58:44He was caught red-handed stealing lead off the church roof,
00:58:46but says he wants to talk to us.
00:58:47Why?
00:58:48Well, apparently he saw Reverend Gideon acting suspiciously in the churchyard,
00:58:51says he thought he saw him hiding something.
00:58:53Did he now?
00:58:56Cole Densmore said it was on the far side,
00:58:59an old grave under a tree with an urn.
00:59:05Could it be that one?
00:59:06It must be the necklace Rufus Coulter found in Jesse Clisole's pannier.
00:59:29What was Reverend Gideon doing with it?
00:59:35Why was he hiding it out here?
00:59:48Reverend Gideon.
00:59:49You have some explaining to do.
00:59:58I've been praying for guidance, Chief Inspector,
01:00:01and God's answered my prayers.
01:00:04Time's come to confess the truth.
01:00:07Which is what, exactly?
01:00:12Jesse's death was a terrible accident.
01:00:15I, uh...
01:00:17I hit her with my car on the way to the station.
01:00:20I knew I was over the limit,
01:00:22and if the truth came out,
01:00:25then I'd be finished.
01:00:27So you covered it up?
01:00:29Yeah, I, uh...
01:00:32I disposed of her and a bike in the deepest part of the river.
01:00:39I had no idea that the necklace was in her pannier.
01:00:43Why did that matter?
01:00:44Well, Jesse had always admired the shilling,
01:00:49so I had it made into a necklace,
01:00:52a 16th birthday present.
01:00:55So you knew the family well?
01:00:58Yeah, my, uh...
01:01:01My family had always attended St. Leonard's,
01:01:03as had the Gazards, Alice's parents.
01:01:06It was then they encouraged me
01:01:09to follow Reverend Clisold into the ministry.
01:01:13But prior to my ordination,
01:01:15I'd taken up a curacy in London,
01:01:18and I'd found the coin,
01:01:20a rare 1819 George III gold-plated shilling mud-larking
01:01:26in the Thames,
01:01:27where one is obliged to have
01:01:28all significant finds officially recorded.
01:01:31So I knew when Rufus found it
01:01:35that it could be traced back to me.
01:01:39And rather than help Rufus,
01:01:40you decided to retrieve the necklace
01:01:43and silence him?
01:01:45Yeah, he wanted to tell the police.
01:01:49And I couldn't let that happen.
01:01:53And Johnny Hoxton?
01:01:56Johnny was in love with my wife,
01:01:58and I feared that she felt the same,
01:02:02and I-I-I was terrified of-of losing him.
01:02:08So you lured him to his death?
01:02:13Yeah.
01:02:16I have no excuse for any of it, Chief Inspector.
01:02:19It was all a kind of madness
01:02:20for which I know I have no hope of forgiveness.
01:02:23You don't buy it, sir?
01:02:44Not entirely.
01:02:46It just seems too studied, too neat.
01:02:50Like the last act of a play.
01:02:51If he is telling the truth,
01:02:54then you know someone else who must be lying.
01:02:58That statement I made 40 years ago,
01:03:02it was a lie.
01:03:04I never saw Jesse at the station.
01:03:07So why make that statement?
01:03:09Because I was asked to.
01:03:12But when Lucy Weaving started
01:03:14breaking all this up again,
01:03:16I didn't know what to do for the best.
01:03:18Reverend Gideon advised me to follow my conscience.
01:03:23Is that who asked you to lie?
01:03:24No.
01:03:25It was Richard Clisold.
01:03:29Can you tell us why?
01:03:31Richard caught Jesse stealing their mother's jewellery.
01:03:35She told him she was leaving.
01:03:37Said if he stopped her,
01:03:38then she'd make it her business to bring shame on the family.
01:03:42Well, Richard couldn't risk that happening.
01:03:44So we let her go.
01:03:46And then asked me to say I'd seen her at the station
01:03:48to stop people asking questions.
01:03:50Why did you agree to her?
01:03:54At the time,
01:03:55I half believed I was in love with him.
01:03:58I'd have done anything he asked.
01:04:01But now,
01:04:02I'm wondering if I helped him get away with murder.
01:04:05So William confessed to killing Jessica.
01:04:12He's also confessed to the murders of Johnny Hoxham
01:04:15and Rufus Coulter.
01:04:18So he lied
01:04:19to everyone.
01:04:23As did you, Mr. Clisold.
01:04:26Forty years ago.
01:04:28You asked Mary Hanball to give a false statement
01:04:30about your sister Jessie's departure.
01:04:31Mary came to me this afternoon.
01:04:41She said she would tell you the truth if I didn't.
01:04:44I asked Mary to lie
01:04:46to stop any further questions being asked.
01:04:50Why would you do that?
01:04:52My father
01:04:53was the subject
01:04:55of some vile rumors.
01:04:58Jessie threatened to tell
01:04:59the church community
01:05:00that they were all true.
01:05:02What did you do?
01:05:03I tried to persuade Jessie to stay.
01:05:05But she said she would only do that
01:05:07if our father's hypocrisy
01:05:09was exposed.
01:05:11The coward in me
01:05:12couldn't face the truth.
01:05:14So we struck a deal.
01:05:17I would allow her to leave
01:05:18without raising the alarm.
01:05:20But she could never return.
01:05:22I blamed it all on her.
01:05:23But in truth
01:05:25my parents
01:05:28were to blame
01:05:28for all her pain.
01:05:30What do you mean?
01:05:31They should have tried
01:05:32to understand Jessie
01:05:33instead of farming her out
01:05:35to a school for girls
01:05:36with troubled
01:05:37often violent backgrounds.
01:05:40It was then
01:05:41she started calling herself Leo.
01:05:43Leo?
01:05:44Why?
01:05:45Because lions
01:05:46are wild
01:05:47powerful
01:05:48brave
01:05:49all the things
01:05:50she needed to be
01:05:51in order to survive.
01:05:52I loved my father
01:05:55too much.
01:05:56If the truth came out
01:05:58it would have
01:05:58destroyed him.
01:06:01But that poor girl
01:06:03was my sister.
01:06:05Innocent of any wrongdoing.
01:06:10I should have protected her.
01:06:13Not him.
01:06:18I was too weak.
01:06:22Here you go love.
01:06:26Oh and
01:06:26this came for you
01:06:28Miss Weaving.
01:06:30Who delivered it?
01:06:31No idea.
01:06:32I found it on the table
01:06:33outside.
01:06:34The victim's been arrested.
01:06:36Seem to your
01:06:36hypocrites behind all of it.
01:06:38Including
01:06:38what happened to your aunt.
01:06:40I always knew
01:06:40that man was a wrong'un.
01:06:41Are you absolutely sure?
01:06:43100%.
01:06:43I saw the cop
01:06:44was taken away.
01:06:45After all that
01:06:46finger pointing at me.
01:06:47Yeah we're on our way there now.
01:06:54I'll let them know to expect you.
01:06:56That was the Heritage Crime Unit.
01:06:58Our search into Freddy Westcott
01:06:59brought them to us.
01:07:00Looks like his dodgy deal
01:07:02is about to catch up.
01:07:03Oh.
01:07:03Let's give him the good news.
01:07:06I'll try and get hold of Sarah.
01:07:08See if she's got anywhere
01:07:09with Jessie Clissell's
01:07:10school records.
01:07:12We know that she was
01:07:13mixing with
01:07:14troubled,
01:07:15violent pupils
01:07:16but
01:07:16who were they?
01:07:18Did she have any particular
01:07:18friends?
01:07:20Or enemies?
01:07:22Sarah might have some answers.
01:07:25Ah.
01:07:26You find you're a real murderer then?
01:07:28Told you we had nothing
01:07:28to do with it.
01:07:29And we are going to be
01:07:30very rich through
01:07:31no fault of our own.
01:07:33Indeed.
01:07:34Though you might have to
01:07:35serve a prison sentence
01:07:36before you can enjoy it.
01:07:38Remember that man
01:07:38that you sold
01:07:39the Anglo-Saxon figurine to?
01:07:41The same man
01:07:41you and Cole Densmore
01:07:42had on speed dial
01:07:43to offload
01:07:44all your mudlarking contraband.
01:07:46Well, turns out
01:07:47that he works undercover
01:07:48at the Heritage Crime Unit
01:07:49and they've been
01:07:50following your
01:07:51under-the-counter dealings
01:07:52for months.
01:07:53In fact,
01:07:54they're on their way here now.
01:07:56Hello?
01:07:59I'm so sorry to bother you
01:08:00but I heard about your husband.
01:08:02It must have been
01:08:02a terrible shock.
01:08:03It's almost impossible
01:08:05to believe.
01:08:06William's just
01:08:07not capable.
01:08:08Someone just
01:08:11left me this.
01:08:16Leave now
01:08:17or you'll be next.
01:08:18If William was
01:08:19already in custody
01:08:20when it was delivered
01:08:20then it can't be him.
01:08:22And why would he
01:08:22threaten me
01:08:23if he was just
01:08:24about to converse?
01:08:24It doesn't make any sense.
01:08:26Have you told the police?
01:08:27Not yet.
01:08:29Why don't I call them
01:08:30and make us
01:08:30some sweet tea?
01:08:33I think we could
01:08:33both do with it.
01:08:48Let Lucy Weaver know about Reverend Gideon's confession before the press get hold of it.
01:09:18Hey, I finally managed to speak to one of the nuns who taught at Everglade House.
01:09:25She remembered Jesse well, but when I asked her about friends, she said she only had one, Alice Gazard.
01:09:30Gazard? That's Alice Gideon's maiden name. She told Lucy Weaving that they barely knew each other.
01:09:34According to Sister Maria, they were kindred spirits.
01:09:37Both had experienced painful rejection by their families and became inseparable.
01:09:40But Alice still lived with her parents.
01:09:42No, her adoptive parents. Alice was abandoned at birth and taken in by the Catholic school attached to the convent.
01:09:48Sister Maria handled her first fostering placement. It was terminated after an act of extreme violence.
01:09:54What happened?
01:09:55The incident took place after Mrs. Marchmont informed Alice that she would be returning her to the convent.
01:10:04She told Alice she had been a great disappointment and not the daughter she wanted.
01:10:09As 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.
01:10:19She was only eight years old.
01:10:21It says here that the Gazards took her in within weeks. I mean, how is that even possible?
01:10:24Well, a decision was made not to reveal what happened.
01:10:26Sister Maria thought that was wrong, so she kept a copy of her records.
01:10:30The Gazards were advised to keep Alice at the same school to avoid further disruption, and Jesse Clissel joined her there when she was 13.
01:10:36So Alice Gideon lied about everything?
01:10:38And her husband's confession seemed too studied, too neat, because it was.
01:10:43It was lying to protect Alice.
01:10:44Mrs. Gideon?
01:10:56Mrs. Gideon?
01:11:01There's a house all locked up. There's no answer.
01:11:03Let's try the studio.
01:11:11Lucy's in there. Get in there.
01:11:14I have an ambulance.
01:11:19Stay there, sir.
01:11:20The vicarage goes with me.
01:11:22Lucy.
01:11:22Lucy.
01:11:22Blunt-bought trauma to the head, with a dose of gas-induced asphyxiation, for good measure.
01:11:45This bottle of ammonia is the culprit.
01:11:48Go on.
01:11:50When boiled, pure ammonia becomes a highly concentrated gas.
01:11:55Extremely dangerous to inhale.
01:11:57When diluted with water, it can also be used to strip metal.
01:12:00Something Alice Gideon might use to clean her mudlocking fines.
01:12:04What are you thinking, sir?
01:12:15Well, to quote Richard Clisthold, I'm getting my eye in.
01:12:20Mudlockers look for treasures that are unseen by most, but not invisible to all.
01:12:28And I think I've found one.
01:12:32Leo.
01:12:34What's that?
01:12:35Jessie Clisthold's alter ego was a lion.
01:12:38She called herself Leo.
01:12:40The jewellery that Jessie stole on the day she left included a posy ring.
01:12:48And a part of this lion's eye is a ring displaying the French word mar.
01:12:55Death.
01:12:56Well, the wording on the stolen ring was in English.
01:12:58But these rings were often engraved in French on the outside and English on the inside.
01:13:07As in this case.
01:13:09Unis les coeurs.
01:13:11La mort ne fait que séparer.
01:13:13And on the inside, united hearts, death only parts.
01:13:21Jessie Clisthold had the ring in her possession when she left for London.
01:13:25So, what is it doing in Alice Gideon's studio?
01:13:29We need to ask her before she does any more harm, sir.
01:13:33Good.
01:13:33Lucy Weaving's going to live, Mrs. Gideon, despite your best efforts.
01:14:03We found the ring that Jessie Clisthold stole from her mother on the day that she left home.
01:14:08We need to understand how it came to be in your possession.
01:14:12You need to tell us exactly what happened, Mrs. Gideon.
01:14:17Before I do, I need you to know that I loved her and that she loved me.
01:14:24We could never be together here, so we'd made a plan to leave, go somewhere they'd never find us.
01:14:30But I couldn't go through with it.
01:14:31I was only 17.
01:14:34William and I were already engaged.
01:14:36He offered me safety and stability.
01:14:41Things that had eluded you as a child.
01:14:44We know that you were rejected by your birth mother and then by your foster family.
01:14:50I started to think, what did Jessie abandon me to?
01:14:57I don't know one.
01:14:58So I panicked.
01:15:01Begged her to stay.
01:15:02I needed more time.
01:15:03No one knew we were even friends.
01:15:06But she said it was too late.
01:15:08That if I didn't go with her, she was going to tell William the truth.
01:15:10I thought she was bluffing, but she was deadly serious.
01:15:13William had given me the necklace as an engagement presence.
01:15:18A talisman to keep me safe.
01:15:21Jessie said she was going to give it back to William.
01:15:24Tell him I didn't need it.
01:15:26What do you think you're doing?
01:15:27She was my lover and protector now.
01:15:30Give me back!
01:15:30No, leave me alone!
01:15:32Stop it!
01:15:32Stop it!
01:15:33What are you doing?
01:15:35You struck her violently from behind.
01:15:58Just as you'd struck Mrs. Marchmont.
01:16:01Almost killing her, too.
01:16:03I felt no remorse for what I did to that woman.
01:16:05But I didn't mean to hurt Jessie.
01:16:07I loved her.
01:16:09You could have come clean about it.
01:16:11And instead you decided to cover it up.
01:16:13I knew that the water was deepest under the bridge.
01:16:19But your necklace was still in the jacket, in the pannier bag.
01:16:23Evidence that you feared might put you at the scene of Jessie's death.
01:16:28By the time I realized that, it was too late.
01:16:30I still had to hide her body.
01:16:32And you knew the river like the back of your hand.
01:16:34I remembered there's a deep hollow in the bank just around the bend in the river.
01:16:39I dragged Jessie's body to the water and I floated her downstream.
01:16:48And I managed to push her body deep inside the hollow and weigh it down with rocks.
01:16:52And that's where she has remained?
01:16:54But when Lucy Weaving started asking questions, I needed to check that her remains were still well hidden.
01:17:06And that's when Johnny saw me.
01:17:08We'd been mudlarking at Hollybrook.
01:17:10I told William that I wanted to walk home.
01:17:12I thought that Johnny would go back over the bridges, but he didn't.
01:17:15Alice?
01:17:15Oh?
01:17:16What are you doing?
01:17:18Oh, I thought I saw something in the water, but it was just a trick of the light.
01:17:22Oh.
01:17:23Well, it's not a bad idea looking here, though.
01:17:25The current flows this way from Hollybrook.
01:17:27I'll come back here tomorrow.
01:17:29Come with me if you're free.
01:17:31Sure.
01:17:31Good idea.
01:17:34Great.
01:17:35And you couldn't let that happen, knowing what he might discover.
01:17:39I didn't have a plan until William got the call about the sinkhole by the jetty.
01:17:44He had no idea that I was listening in on the conversation.
01:17:48You called Johnny Hoxham from the phone box and lured him to his death.
01:17:53It seemed like the easiest solution, but it was so hard.
01:17:57Help.
01:17:59Help.
01:18:01Somebody!
01:18:03Please!
01:18:05Help me!
01:18:07Please!
01:18:13First, you tried to implicate Cole Densmore by saying that you'd seen him at the river.
01:18:18And then you got lucky.
01:18:19Rufus Coulter sent Johnny Hoxham a memento mori that evening, making him our prime suspect.
01:18:25You heard the message that Rufus left at the vicarage.
01:18:27You knew that he'd found the necklace, which he feared might wrongly connect him to Jesse's death.
01:18:34But in reality, it connects you.
01:18:38What happened exactly?
01:18:39William was just coming out of Evensong that night, and I was leaving to meet Jesse.
01:18:50I told him that I was going for a bike ride, and he was worried it might not be safe.
01:18:54It was getting dark.
01:18:55I told him that as long as I was wearing his necklace, I would always be safe.
01:18:59He kissed it, just to make sure.
01:19:02Well, and when I returned hours later, I was in a terrible state.
01:19:07I told him the necklace was lost, that the class must have come undone or something,
01:19:12that I'd been desperately trying to find it all this time.
01:19:16And now you had to recover the necklace from Rufus Coulter to stop William finding out the truth.
01:19:24Vicar?
01:19:25And you didn't leave anything to chance, did you?
01:19:34You found one of Mr. Coulter's fishing magnets and placed it on his chest to ensure his silence.
01:19:39What?
01:19:39What?
01:19:43You...
01:19:45But then your husband found the necklace by chance.
01:20:05William had lost his key.
01:20:07He knew that I kept spares in the studio.
01:20:09He must have been looking for mine when he found the necklace.
01:20:15Reverend Gideon!
01:20:23And when he found it, your husband realised that you'd got to Rufus Coulter before he did,
01:20:29that you lied to cover your tracks,
01:20:31and that you'd been with Jessie Clisold when she died.
01:20:34And so he confessed to all of it,
01:20:37in order to protect you.
01:20:38And you let him.
01:20:40But you knew you were still in danger,
01:20:42as long as Lucy Weaving was still asking questions.
01:20:45That's why I wrote the note,
01:20:47just to frighten her into leaving.
01:20:49But while you were out delivering your note,
01:20:50your husband was making his confession.
01:20:53That wasn't part of the plan.
01:20:55Lucy realised that if William had been arrested,
01:20:57then he couldn't have left the note.
01:20:59Just needed by myself some time,
01:21:01so I told her that I would make tea,
01:21:03call the police.
01:21:04Then, as I left,
01:21:05I saw her...
01:21:07staring at Leo.
01:21:08Oh.
01:21:08I knew in that moment that she was close to the truth,
01:21:15that there would be questions that I wouldn't be able to answer.
01:21:23It was too late to stop.
01:21:30Her husband's been released.
01:21:31He'd like to talk to you,
01:21:35but you're under no obligation.
01:21:37No.
01:21:38I want to.
01:21:48I always thought you were fragile, Alice.
01:21:51Needed my protection.
01:21:53But the one you've become,
01:21:55I don't recognise.
01:21:57She's not my Alice.
01:21:58She's always been there, William.
01:22:01I just learned how to keep her well hidden,
01:22:03because no one's ever loved or wanted that Alice.
01:22:08Except Jessie.
01:22:12You'll need to tell us exactly where she is.
01:22:17She's...
01:22:19downstream.
01:22:22In the hollow.
01:22:24I've already said my goodbyes.
01:22:28I am so sorry, William.
01:22:43You're a natural detective, Sarah.
01:22:44Well, only if it's history related.
01:22:46But when it is, you're like a dog with a bone.
01:22:49Oh, not again, Paddy.
01:22:51We're going to have to get rid of that rug, Sarah.
01:22:55Hey.
01:22:55It's the silver eternity bracelet you got me when I had Betty.
01:23:01But you lost that years ago.
01:23:02Oh, and I'm very grateful to have him back.
01:23:05Good boy.
01:23:06Seems like Paddy's good at solving mysteries, too.
01:23:09Well, maybe you should take him mudlarking.
01:23:11He might be able to help me find that water she lost
01:23:13when he went fishing.
01:23:14Oh, that's a great idea.
01:23:15What do you say, Detective Paddy?
01:23:16Do you want to go fishing again?
01:23:18Go on, then.
01:23:19See if you can find my wellies.
01:23:20Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
