00:00:00The stretch of the river can be unpredictable after so much rain.
00:00:06I suggest we get a move on before it floods.
00:00:09Yeah, we could be standing on what was once the pilgrim route to Causton Abbey.
00:00:14Maybe. Today's the day, Becker.
00:00:17I might finally find the Thomas Beckett badge to complete my collection.
00:00:20That's a rare badge, Johnny. Let's pray turn here somewhere.
00:00:24The mudlarks are up to something at Hollybrook. Reckon they must have had a tip-off.
00:00:32Say no more, mate. Yeah, yeah. We'll meet you down there.
00:00:35Rufus, get that down your neck. We've got work to do. Gemma, get the van loaded up.
00:00:40Mudlarks are at Hollybrook.
00:00:42What about the bar?
00:00:44Well, Gary can cover for a couple of hours, but we need to get there now.
00:00:47You must be onto something.
00:00:54Dad, he's done it again.
00:00:57Hmm?
00:00:58Oh, not again, Paddy. That's the third time this afternoon.
00:01:01How much stuff have you got buried out there?
00:01:03Oh, sorry, Sarah. I couldn't stop it.
00:01:06Oh, never mind that now. I've got some exciting news.
00:01:09I have just been asked to do some local research for pastimes.
00:01:12The Ancestry Show?
00:01:13Yeah. They got in touch through the Historical Society.
00:01:16Are you going to be on TV?
00:01:17Well, it looks like it, yeah.
00:01:18And who's the subject?
00:01:19Oh, I'm sorry, darling, but it's a need-to-know basis only.
00:01:23But if you wouldn't mind clearing this mess up, I've got some work to do.
00:01:30Last time, okay? Or I'm calling the pound.
00:01:34You're welcome, Richard.
00:01:35You're welcome.
00:01:36You're welcome.
00:01:37I'm going to be a little bit of a drink.
00:01:38You're welcome.
00:01:39Everything all right, Richard?
00:01:40Some ghastly Ancestry Show keeps calling me.
00:01:41Hannah's daughter is now a well-known actress, apparently.
00:01:42Everything all right, Richard?
00:01:57Some ghastly ancestry show keeps calling me.
00:02:00Hannah's daughter is now a well-known actress, apparently.
00:02:02They want my help to find Jessica.
00:02:04As if I'd had the first idea.
00:02:09As if the day couldn't get any worse.
00:02:12This is a historical site of great interest of the Dean of Causton.
00:02:22We're here at his official invitation.
00:02:24Last time I heard, this stretch of the river is on Jacob Mitchell's land.
00:02:28It's nothing to do with the Dean.
00:02:29Nevertheless, your high-strength magnets can do untold damage.
00:02:32You have no business here.
00:02:34You're so sure about that, Rev.
00:02:35Call the police.
00:02:36We already know Johnny's a grass.
00:02:39He's probably called them already.
00:02:40If you're intent on being unreasonable, I suppose I can't stop you.
00:02:44Glad to see we're on the same page, Vicar.
00:02:46Good one, Jem.
00:02:48Let's get organized, lads.
00:02:52Damn cheek.
00:02:53Who do they think they are?
00:02:54We just have to do our best to avoid them.
00:02:57You just said them done.
00:03:01Ready, Jem?
00:03:02I was born ready.
00:03:03Hello, guys, and welcome back to the Midsomer Magneteers channel.
00:03:08And what a lovely day for it.
00:03:10I'm afraid this is the only family photograph my mother kept.
00:03:14Those are my grandparents with my mother Hannah, her sister Jessie, and their brother Richard.
00:03:21She was estranged from all of them.
00:03:23It's something she never talked about.
00:03:25So what made her change her mind?
00:03:28She knew she didn't have long left.
00:03:31Wanted to get her house in order before it was too late.
00:03:33But I could see how painful it was for her to go back there.
00:03:38Why is that?
00:03:39Jessie was her baby sister.
00:03:41The only member of her family she ever cared about.
00:03:43But she felt she had to cut off from all of them in order to survive.
00:03:49That's why I'm doing this.
00:03:50To honor mum's dying wish.
00:03:53To find Jessie and tell her how much she loved her.
00:03:57And how guilty she felt for abandoning her.
00:03:59Well, all we know so far is that your family came from a village called Galsworthy in Midsomer.
00:04:05Okay.
00:04:06Your uncle still lives there but he's reluctant to get involved.
00:04:10So, where do we go from here?
00:04:13To Galsworthy.
00:04:14Okay.
00:04:15So I've booked us into the village pub and set up a meeting tomorrow with a local historian.
00:04:19Just ask her to see what she can come up with.
00:04:22And your uncle, I'll just keep trying.
00:04:23I don't want to upset him.
00:04:25It's a bit of a bolt from the blue.
00:04:26Sometimes people, they just need a bit of a nudge.
00:04:32All he can say is no.
00:04:33If you insist on being here, the least you can do is stick to your own area.
00:04:59I'll go wherever I like.
00:05:01He's just trying to wind us up, Richard.
00:05:03Don't give him the satisfaction.
00:05:04Rufus used to be a friend.
00:05:06Can we all just try and be civil?
00:05:07You can't be civil with these barbarians.
00:05:11Hey!
00:05:12What the hell are you playing at?
00:05:13Sorry, mate.
00:05:14Didn't see you there.
00:05:16It's that right.
00:05:17Come on then, let's have it.
00:05:18See who comes off worse.
00:05:19Get off me, Debbie.
00:05:25Richard.
00:05:27I need your expert opinion.
00:05:30My card.
00:05:31Looks like an ampulla from the Thomas Beckett Shrine.
00:05:35That was in my bucket.
00:05:36Belongs to me.
00:05:38You only found it by chance.
00:05:39Lead isn't even magnetic.
00:05:41Finders keepers, Johnny boy.
00:05:43And by the way you're all looking at it.
00:05:44Must be worth a bob or two.
00:05:46The ampulla and the Thomas Beckett badge are often found together.
00:05:49Where were you casting when you found it?
00:05:50And why would I tell you that?
00:05:52Might be loads more of them.
00:05:53Well, then I'll tell the police about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare.
00:05:57You're still out on license.
00:05:59Aren't you, Colt?
00:06:00They'll send you straight back.
00:06:01Johnny.
00:06:03I'll kill you first.
00:06:09It's not worth it, Johnny.
00:06:10If it's here, you'll find it.
00:06:11Let's have a look.
00:06:18What do you think?
00:06:23Well, he's right.
00:06:24Here's Leigh.
00:06:25That's good.
00:06:35Richard.
00:06:36Look, don't open it.
00:06:38Oh.
00:06:38Oh, God.
00:06:39It's a Wiccan jar.
00:06:52Also known as a witch's jar.
00:06:55Probably 17th century.
00:06:56Unopened, they were thought to protect against the spirits of evil.
00:07:00But if the seal was broken, the forces of evil were believed to be set free.
00:07:04So I've unleashed evil on myself.
00:07:07Oh, superstitious nonsense.
00:07:10It gets worse if the jar is open near water.
00:07:13It's said that the ghosts of the foreshore come back to life to take their victims with them.
00:07:20Don't listen to him, Johnny.
00:07:21It's good.
00:07:25Thanks for watching, guys.
00:07:26And if you haven't already, don't forget to like and subscribe.
00:07:29All merch available via the link.
00:07:31Happy magnetarian!
00:07:33Bye, then.
00:07:34See you tomorrow.
00:07:35Thinking of coming to the blessing of the river ceremony.
00:07:37I've seen the light at last.
00:07:39Now, that would be a miracle.
00:07:40But if there are blessings to be added, then why shouldn't we have some of them?
00:07:44Though it's you lot who need to get lucky.
00:07:46Not us.
00:07:47Yeah, it's just not there.
00:07:49Don't ever get up in time.
00:07:50One can but hope.
00:07:53I'm heading back.
00:07:54Yeah, me too.
00:07:55I'm getting cold.
00:07:56I can give you a lift.
00:07:57Thanks, I'd rather walk.
00:07:59Johnny?
00:08:01William, shall I take the jar?
00:08:04Someone needs to report it.
00:08:07The jar?
00:08:08Yeah, yeah.
00:08:09That'd be much appreciated.
00:08:13William, is there something wrong?
00:08:16No?
00:08:17No, I hope it's not fun.
00:08:18No, I hope it's not fun.
00:08:18No, I hope it's not fun.
00:08:47I hope it's not fun.
00:08:48No, I hope it's not fun.
00:08:52It's not fun.
00:09:08Thanks for letting me know, Jacob.
00:09:10Yeah, of course, of course.
00:09:11I'll make sure everyone's aware.
00:09:12Okay.
00:09:14Bye.
00:09:15Damn.
00:09:18Salmon.
00:09:20Alice!
00:09:31I'm going to find her, Mum.
00:09:34I promise.
00:09:42I'm going to find her.
00:10:12Are you sure about that?
00:10:15No, no, no.
00:10:16Hold on a second.
00:10:17I just need to write this down.
00:10:19Hang on.
00:10:19Yeah.
00:10:42Help.
00:10:50Help me.
00:11:05Help me.
00:11:06Please.
00:11:08There we beach, the shining river,
00:11:19Lay me every burning down.
00:11:24Grace our spirits will deliver,
00:11:27And provide us by road and crown.
00:11:31Yes, we'll gather around the river,
00:11:34The beautiful, the beautiful river.
00:11:38Now the whipper stays at the river
00:11:42That flows by the throne of God
00:11:46Morning, vicar!
00:11:50You see that, look. He's really not happy.
00:11:53Judge not, lest ye be judged.
00:11:57Isn't that what the Bible says?
00:11:58Yeah, but the man's a hypocrite.
00:12:01Preaches one thing, does the opposite.
00:12:04Well, at least he's not a Judas, like Johnny.
00:12:07I'm talking to Johnny. Where is he?
00:12:11Right, we've made our point. Let's go to the pub.
00:12:13Rihanna?
00:12:15Bless him, won't do any of us any harm.
00:12:17Especially you, Cole.
00:12:19Gracious God, we pray for all those poor souls
00:12:23lost to our rivers and waterways
00:12:25who these flowers represent.
00:12:29In Christianity, water can symbolise both life and death
00:12:33and is a central symbol in the sacrament of baptism.
00:12:37A moment of spiritual purification.
00:12:40Rihanna!
00:12:41Rihanna!
00:12:41Rihanna!
00:12:42Rihanna!
00:12:42Rihanna!
00:12:43Rihanna!
00:12:43Rihanna!
00:12:45Rihanna!
00:12:45Rihanna!
00:12:46Rihanna!
00:12:46Rihanna!
00:12:46Rihanna!
00:12:47Ah!
00:12:47Rihanna!
00:12:47Rihanna!
00:12:48Rihanna!
00:12:56Oh, morning, Jamie. John will be down in the cell.
00:12:58Thanks.
00:13:00You're looking very glamorous for a school day.
00:13:02Ah, but it's not a school day winter. Far from it.
00:13:04Mum's gonna be on TV.
00:13:06Oh, that's exciting. What's the show?
00:13:08Pastimes. They've asked me to advise on some local history.
00:13:11I just hope mixing with the glitterati doesn't turn your head.
00:13:14It'll be Hollywood next, sir.
00:13:15Quite fancy a life of sun surf and celebrity drama.
00:13:19What do you think?
00:13:20You'd give any film star a run for her money.
00:13:22I don't know about that, but thank you.
00:13:24Right, sir. Time we left for our decidedly unglamorous day job.
00:13:27Oh, I don't know. There's always the potential for a bit of real life drama.
00:13:31Careful what you wish for, sir.
00:13:41DCI Barnaby. Good morning.
00:13:44Not so good for our victim. Cause of death.
00:13:47Drowning. And by the look of him, I reckon he'd been in the water no longer than 24 hours.
00:13:53There have been reports of a sinkhole in the stretch of river.
00:13:56And sinkholes combined with silt can be a particularly dangerous domination.
00:14:01So no evidence of foul play?
00:14:03Not obviously.
00:14:04Then, um, what am I doing here?
00:14:07According to witnesses on the scene, the victim was a local man, last seen alive yesterday evening.
00:14:12This jacket was found along with a bag containing a phone, a wallet, and a notebook.
00:14:17They confirmed his identity as Jonathan David Hoxham.
00:14:20This was found in the pocket.
00:14:24Memento mori is Latin. It means, remember that you have to die.
00:14:28Who knew Winter could speak Latin? You're wasted as a plod.
00:14:33I'm not a... I'm a detective. Detective Sergeant, sir.
00:14:37It's so easy to wind up. It's delicious.
00:14:39If we could possibly get back to the matter at hand.
00:14:42I won't know any more until I've done the post-vortem. I'll be in touch.
00:14:50So our victim had a reminder of the inevitability of death and then turns up drowned.
00:14:56Why did he come here? Was he meeting someone?
00:14:59Digital forensics are trying to unlock his phone.
00:15:02Where exactly was the body found?
00:15:05Into the jetty, sir.
00:15:06Reverend William Gideon was conducting a river blessing when his wife saw the body in the water.
00:15:11He and his mud larking group were here yesterday afternoon.
00:15:15Johnny Hoxham was a keen member.
00:15:17According to Mrs Gideon, there was another mud larking group here at the same time, but they left before he did.
00:15:21Were the Gideons that asked people to see Mr Hoxham alive?
00:15:24Yeah. Said he was going home and left alone.
00:15:27Mrs Gideon can't understand why he came back.
00:15:30Well, let's talk to both groups.
00:15:32Find out if anything happened yesterday that might shed some light.
00:15:54Mr Hoxham.
00:15:55Mr Hoxham.
00:15:56Dan Peasy.
00:15:57Gemstone Television.
00:15:58We're here to see Richard Clisson.
00:15:59So, he's expecting you?
00:16:00Absolutely.
00:16:01He's not back yet?
00:16:02We're happy to wait.
00:16:05Johnny Hoxham was a devout member of the St Leonard's family and a passionate member of the Midsomer Mudlocks.
00:16:18His loss is a tragedy for the whole village community.
00:16:22Did Mr Hoxham have any enemies?
00:16:24But it was an accident, surely.
00:16:26We have to keep an open mind at this stage, Mrs Gideon.
00:16:31I understand you were the last people to see Mr Hoxham.
00:16:34Well, technically, that was William.
00:16:36I started walking home while they were still at the river.
00:16:38Yeah, Johnny left soon after.
00:16:40Richard Clisold was offered him a lift earlier, but he declined.
00:16:44And Richard Clisold is?
00:16:45He's a fellow Mudlock and an old family friend.
00:16:48I took over the ministry when his father retired.
00:16:52And did anything happen at the river that could have upset Mr Hoxham?
00:16:59Uh...
00:17:01New research suggested that there could have been a pilgrim hostel near Holybrook.
00:17:06Johnny was hoping to find a rare Thomas Beckett badge to complete his collection.
00:17:10Then an ampulla badge was found by Cole Densmore, a member of the Midsomer.
00:17:14Magneteers, another mudlarking group in the area.
00:17:17The ampulla and Thomas Beckett badge are often found together,
00:17:21so Johnny got excited that he might find one in the same location,
00:17:25but Cole refused to tell him exactly where he found it.
00:17:28In fact, Cole seemed to be enjoying taunting him, but that wasn't unusual.
00:17:34What do you mean?
00:17:35Well, the mudlarks are keen historians and ecologists.
00:17:38We research respectfully for evidence of the past
00:17:41in order to build collections of local historical importance.
00:17:44And the Midsomer Magneteers?
00:17:46Well, they use heavy, high-strength magnets
00:17:48to amass large quantities of metal for cash.
00:17:52Their gung-ho attitude causes untold damage to the environment.
00:17:56Which is a source of conflict?
00:17:58Yeah, unfortunately, yes.
00:18:01There was something else.
00:18:03Johnny found a rare Wiccan jar in the river.
00:18:06Witches' what, exactly?
00:18:07A sealed, 17th-century witch's jar,
00:18:10believed to curse whoever opens it.
00:18:13Sadly, that was Johnny.
00:18:16Yeah, as a Christian I abhor superstition,
00:18:18but it's an unfortunate coincidence that Johnny died later that day.
00:18:25Where is this jar now?
00:18:26Richard took it with him.
00:18:28Significant artefacts need to be registered.
00:18:31Where might I find him?
00:18:33They're waiting in the sitting room.
00:18:44What the hell are they doing here?
00:18:46They said you were expecting them.
00:18:47I didn't know what to do.
00:18:50Go home, Mary.
00:18:52I'll deal with this.
00:18:57Mr. Clisold.
00:18:58I thought I made myself perfectly clear.
00:19:00We were in the area and your niece was very keen to meet you.
00:19:06Uncle Richard.
00:19:08I'm Lucy.
00:19:10Hannah's daughter.
00:19:13Fine. I'll answer your questions.
00:19:15But under no circumstances will I appear on your television programme.
00:19:19Is that understood?
00:19:21Perfectly.
00:19:24These bills are you paying today?
00:19:26It's all under control, Gem.
00:19:27I can't tax on his way.
00:19:29What if you get caught?
00:19:30Things are getting out of hand.
00:19:32Fine.
00:19:33Mr. and Mrs. Westcott.
00:19:34DS Winter.
00:19:35Causton CID.
00:19:37What can we do for you?
00:19:38Body was found in the river this morning.
00:19:40I know. I was there. No one knew what was going on.
00:19:42He's now been formally identified as Johnny Hoxham.
00:19:44He drowned near where you were mud larking yesterday afternoon.
00:19:47Johnny? But why would he go back in there after the warning?
00:19:50What warning?
00:19:51I got a call from Jacob Mitchell.
00:19:52He farms the land around Hollybrook.
00:19:54One of his lads had seen us heading down there.
00:19:57Jacob's lost sheep to a sinkhole in the river and he wanted us to know exactly where it was.
00:20:01So I put an allure on the magnateer's chap.
00:20:04Did you share that information with the mud larks?
00:20:05Well, I didn't have to.
00:20:06Jacob said he'd already told the vicar.
00:20:09We understand that there's some unfriendly rivalry between you and the mud larks.
00:20:13Was there any friction at Hollybrook?
00:20:15Just the usual sparring banter.
00:20:17I see you've got your own channel.
00:20:20Over 5,000 followers now.
00:20:23Did you film any content yesterday?
00:20:25Yeah, but nothing interesting.
00:20:28I'll still need to see it.
00:20:30It's so strange. My mother grew up in this beautiful house, but I had no idea it even existed until yesterday.
00:20:37Unfortunately, your mother rejected our family in the most hurtful and destructive way.
00:20:42Jessica always admired her, so followed suit.
00:20:45How can you be sure Jessica didn't want to come back?
00:20:48She left a note, making herself very clear.
00:20:51My father kept it.
00:20:55In case there was ever any doubt.
00:21:01As you can see, she despised us and everything we stood for,
00:21:04and states quite clearly she wishes no one to come after her.
00:21:07Leo.
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:10But the letter is signed Leo.
00:21:12She saw herself as a lion, caged here against her will.
00:21:16Calling herself Leo was another way of further distancing herself from us.
00:21:20Is it okay if I photograph it?
00:21:21No, it is not.
00:21:23Did your parents notify the police when she left?
00:21:27My father was obliged to report it, but since there were no suspicious circumstances, that was the end of it.
00:21:32And they never tried to contact her?
00:21:34My parents had to draw a line.
00:21:38We had to get on with our own lives.
00:21:40What exactly happened the night she left?
00:21:43If you'll excuse me, I need to talk to a police officer about the tragic death of a friend.
00:21:48I'm so sorry, but thank you for seeing us.
00:21:51I'd love to talk more if...
00:21:53There's nothing more to say.
00:21:55Forgive my scepticism, but you're clearly just doing this to increase your celebrity profile.
00:21:59I want no part in it.
00:22:00DCI Barnaby, do come in. They're just leaving.
00:22:06The art of mudlarking lies in the ability to spot things invisible to others.
00:22:22What we call getting your eye in.
00:22:26The mistake is in looking too hard.
00:22:28Very much like my own job.
00:22:31How well did you know Mr. Hoxham?
00:22:34We were more colleagues than friends, both fascinated by the history attached to objects we found.
00:22:40I understand there was some conflict between the two mudlarking groups yesterday afternoon.
00:22:45Did any of that involve Mr. Hoxham specifically?
00:22:50Not that I'm aware of.
00:22:53Reverend Gideon told us about the discovery of the Wiccan jar. I believe you have it.
00:22:58Why, yes. The jar.
00:22:59Here it is.
00:23:05Not very pleasant, I'm afraid.
00:23:10I've reported it to the Portable Antiquities Scheme. They'll be taking it off my hands.
00:23:15Could he have been deliberately placed for Mr. Hoxham to find as a warning of some kind?
00:23:21Highly unlikely.
00:23:23It is clear Johnny saw it as a bad omen.
00:23:26Which makes it all the more puzzling why he should choose to return.
00:23:29There's a history of rivalry and antagonism between the mudlarks and the magneteers, but apart from the discovery of the Wiccan jar, both sides seem to agree nothing unusual happened yesterday.
00:23:47I'm not sure they're being entirely honest, sir. This footage was downloaded from Gemma Westcott's phone. It was intended as content for the Magneteers channel.
00:24:07Where were you casting when you found it?
00:24:09Why would I tell you that?
00:24:11Might be loads more of them.
00:24:12I'll tell the police about the old gun you found in the lake and didn't declare.
00:24:16You're still out on license, aren't you, Cole?
00:24:19They'll send you straight back, Johnny.
00:24:22I'll kill you first.
00:24:26This was witnessed by both groups. Why didn't anyone mention it?
00:24:30Mrs. Gideon said that Cole enjoyed taunting Johnny, so it's possible nobody took it seriously.
00:24:37We need to talk to Cole Densmore.
00:24:38And there's another thing. Freddie Westcott said that a local farmer called him to warn him about the sinkhole.
00:24:43When was this?
00:24:44After they got back from the river. Freddie said that he circulated it on the Magneteers chat.
00:24:48Claimed that the farmer made the same call to Reverend Gideon.
00:24:51He didn't say anything to Maeve.
00:24:52Oh, yeah, and finally...
00:24:57Digital managed to access Johnny Hoxham's cloud.
00:25:00Someone called him at 1834.
00:25:03Then, according to his notebook, 27 minutes later, he was back at the river.
00:25:09Whoever called Johnny told him that they'd seen a Thomas Beckett badge and pinpointed its exact location.
00:25:15Is the number traceable?
00:25:16It's from an old phone box in the village.
00:25:17So, Johnny Hoxham was deliberately lured to his death.
00:25:26Hmm.
00:25:30This is great.
00:25:32Do you have any information on Jessie specifically, apart from the birth certificate?
00:25:36Well, her leaving was reported in the local press.
00:25:39As Vicar of Galsworthy, your grandfather was a powerful and highly respected figure in the village.
00:25:45Jessie's decision to leave so soon after your mother's disappearance was of great interest to the community.
00:25:50According to this article, she caught the London train at 7.35pm on Wednesday the 14th of May.
00:25:57She left with her bike and whatever she could fit into her panniers, as went this by Mary Hamble, the housekeeper's daughter.
00:26:01Sources close to the family confirmed that Miss Clissold had threatened to leave before.
00:26:06A note was found leaving them in no doubt that she left off her own free will.
00:26:10Richard Clissold still has it.
00:26:12Oh.
00:26:14And after she left?
00:26:16Well, the trail goes cold, I'm afraid.
00:26:19If Jessie changed her name or she left the country, it could be very difficult to trace her.
00:26:23I'll get our team to look into it.
00:26:25What about friends? She may have stayed in touch with someone outside the family.
00:26:29Well, I can find out which school she attended and take it from there.
00:26:32And Mary Hamble, she might be able to help you. She was a similar age and knew the family.
00:26:38Yeah, we met her briefly earlier. She cleans for Richard Clissold.
00:26:42And I think she still lives at this address.
00:26:46Oh, this is...
00:26:50DCI Barnaby has a few more questions, will you?
00:26:52The church flowers are all done, Alice, so...
00:26:56I'll leave you to it.
00:27:00I'm sorry to disturb you again so soon.
00:27:03This is my colleague, DS Winter.
00:27:05Yeah, of course. I need some help.
00:27:08We understand you received a warning about the sinkhole from a local farmer, Jacob Mitchell.
00:27:14You failed to share this warning with other members of your group.
00:27:18You also failed to share it with me.
00:27:20Yeah, I'm ashamed to say that's true.
00:27:24You know, when Jacob rang, I was writing my sermon for the river blessing and...
00:27:29I hung up clumsily, spilling tea everywhere, so...
00:27:32I'm afraid the call won't clean out of my mind.
00:27:34Freddie Westcott received the same warning and immediately circulated it amongst the magnateers.
00:27:38If you'd done that, Johnny Hoxham might be alive now.
00:27:40Yeah, which I regret till the end of my days.
00:27:47But it didn't occur to me that anyone would return to the river that night.
00:27:52So, which is it? Did you forget? Or did you think no one would return to the river?
00:27:58Johnny wasn't the only one there.
00:27:59When I was walking home, I saw Cole Densmore on the opposite bank heading back towards Hollybrook.
00:28:08We need to talk to Cole Densmore. At the very least, he could be an important witness.
00:28:13Unless William Gideon used the farmer's warning to near Johnny Hoxham to his death, and Mrs. Gideon's statement is just a lie to protect him.
00:28:25Her sudden recollection is rather convenient. But why would Reverend Gideon want Johnny Hoxham dead?
00:28:31Hmm. No idea.
00:28:34Cole Densmore's still their only suspect with a motive, but he hasn't responded to any of our calls requesting an interview.
00:28:39Then Mohammed will have to go to the Mount.
00:28:55Mrs. Hamlet.
00:28:56I don't like being lied to.
00:28:57I understand. If you could just give us five minutes, we can explain.
00:29:00You knew my Aunt Jessie. We're the last person to see her.
00:29:04I made my statement at the time. It's all on record. There's nothing more to say.
00:29:08Yes.
00:29:09Mrs. Hamlet, if you could...
00:29:10My loyalty is to the family that stayed, not to those that walked away.
00:29:13And I certainly don't approve of raking all this up again for a TV show.
00:29:17Time for a little fire, Bobby.
00:29:33Turns out Cole Densmore is Goldsworthy's resident bad boy.
00:29:38Currently out on license for theft.
00:29:43Get off my property before I call the cops.
00:29:45Yeah, we are the cops.
00:29:48Mr. Densmore.
00:29:49Mr. Densmore.
00:29:52I'm not talking out here, so you better come in.
00:29:55But I'm not making tea.
00:29:56I assume you've got a license for that rather antiquated firearm?
00:30:11Don't need one.
00:30:12I've got a collector who's going to take it off my hands.
00:30:15Yeah, it still needs to be registered, as I'm sure you're aware.
00:30:18Well, it's an antique. It's been underwater for years.
00:30:20There are rules, Mr. Densmore.
00:30:21Okay. I'll report it if it'll get you off my back.
00:30:25What do you really want?
00:30:26Well, I understand you had an altercation with Johnny Hoxham just hours before he died.
00:30:32That was just banter.
00:30:33Well, it looked like a bit more than that from the footage we saw.
00:30:36If you'd like me to refresh your memory.
00:30:38Okay.
00:30:39So I wouldn't give him the ampulla for his epoxy collection?
00:30:42Why should I? I know I could get decent money for it.
00:30:45You threatened to kill him, Mr. Densmore.
00:30:47But I didn't.
00:30:50Does the expression, memento mori, mean anything to you?
00:30:56The river isn't far from here. Did you go back there after everyone left?
00:31:00No. Why would I?
00:31:01We have a witness who claims that they saw you on this side of the river heading towards Hollybrook.
00:31:07And they need to get their eyes tested.
00:31:09And if you're looking for someone with real beef with Johnny, talk to Rufus Coulter.
00:31:14He was a mudlark until Johnny grasped him up for not reporting any of the stuff he found.
00:31:18What happened?
00:31:19The vicar threw him out in his ear after God knows how many years.
00:31:22Rufus never forgave Johnny for that.
00:31:25So he joined the magneteers?
00:31:28He's a hoarder. Total weirdo.
00:31:30But they'll take anyone.
00:31:33So it seems.
00:31:35We'll be in touch, Mr. Densmore.
00:31:38If you hear the policeman up here, don't panic okay?
00:31:53the police have been up here. Don't panic, okay? They've got nothing on me.
00:32:07I suppose they're the tears of a jammy. Of course they are. He was a good friend.
00:32:13Yeah, the way you were together made that perfectly clear. Oh William, please not this again.
00:32:18I cared about him, that's all. I just wish you cared about me like that.
00:32:27Not sure you have had?
00:32:34I know who your celebrity is. We crossed paths earlier.
00:32:39Anything to do with your murder investigation?
00:32:42Sorry. Strictly need to know vases.
00:32:46It is intriguing though, isn't it?
00:32:48Our paths crossing professionally like this.
00:32:51Yeah, investigating the same case from very different angles.
00:32:55We could both end up on telly at this rate.
00:32:58No, my show will only get made if the story has enough layers to keep the viewers intrigued.
00:33:03Which, unless there's a massive plot twist, is looking very unlikely.
00:33:07In my experience, that can happen when you least expect it.
00:33:11What exactly was found?
00:33:16It's the hilt of a sword, possibly 8th century.
00:33:20Oh, there was an Anglo-Saxon settlement in this area, so potentially very exciting.
00:33:26But should we really be out so soon mudlarking?
00:33:29It's what Johnny would have wanted.
00:33:30If we find something special, we can make sure it's dedicated to his memory.
00:33:35Yeah, and as Sir Henry's given us exclusive rights to investigate...
00:33:38It's not in time for tea, Vicar!
00:33:40Leave now, or I will call the police!
00:33:55Oh, that's not very nice, Reverend!
00:33:57It's this private land, and you don't have permission to be here.
00:34:00Says who?
00:34:01Sir Henry's Gamekeeper's one of our regulars.
00:34:02He did it with his boss for us to check it out.
00:34:03He said we might find some Anglo-Saxon gold.
00:34:04Gold isn't magnetic, so you're wasting your time.
00:34:05Anglo-Saxons were con artists.
00:34:06They made coins that looked like gold, but were mostly bog-standard metal.
00:34:09Still worth a bob or two.
00:34:10You should know that, Dickie, being an historian.
00:34:15Any news on who killed poor old Johnny?
00:34:16Last we heard they were questioning you, Vicar.
00:34:17I mean to see you twice, I believe.
00:34:18If you're implying I had something to do with it.
00:34:19William, let it go.
00:34:20It doesn't work for me.
00:34:21That's what we have money.
00:34:22That's what my money is.
00:34:23I mean to see you twice, I believe.
00:34:24If you're implying I had something to do with it,
00:34:28William.
00:34:29Let it go.
00:34:30How's it going, Tony?
00:34:31You made the money!
00:34:32He's paying us for money!
00:34:33They're not just paying you, Vicar.
00:34:36I think we are taking you for money.
00:34:37Well, that's the money.
00:34:40So, you're going to buy what we've named?
00:34:41The money you know what I want.
00:34:42And you look at the money, so you're wasting your time.
00:34:43Let it go. Hasn't there been enough trouble?
00:34:48Let's start on the foreshore.
00:34:58Sorry to keep you. Couldn't get Paddy in from the garden.
00:35:00He's become obsessed with digging.
00:35:03I can see that.
00:35:05Any developments I should know about?
00:35:07Cole Densmore's phone cases at home all evening.
00:35:10Just because his phone was there, it doesn't mean he was.
00:35:12No, but the background check on Rufus Coulter is much more interesting.
00:35:16Johnny Hoxham lodged an official complaint against him.
00:35:18Accusing him of what?
00:35:19Harassment. He'd been receiving anonymous hate mail.
00:35:23He suspected Rufus Coulter, but nothing was ever proved.
00:35:26Here are some examples.
00:35:33Rufus Coulter blamed Johnny Hoxham for shaming him within the mud larking community he loved.
00:35:40The question is, how far would he go to exact revenge?
00:35:47Ken?
00:35:49Ken, make sure you're getting this.
00:35:50Cole, get over here, Cole.
00:35:54Oh, this is Anglo-Saxon gold.
00:35:56We're billionaires.
00:35:56For a bloody bite this week.
00:36:10Take it to scrap, Cole.
00:36:12It's rusted to hell.
00:36:16Never mind, love.
00:36:18I'll make a succinct.
00:36:18Where are you going, mate?
00:36:31Home.
00:36:32Not that it's any business of yours.
00:36:36Weirder.
00:36:39Sorry.
00:36:39Richard?
00:36:46What is it?
00:36:50Richard?
00:36:52That bicycle?
00:36:55I think it's Jessie's.
00:37:07Quiet, Bobby.
00:37:08It's unbelievable.
00:37:24How can anyone live in there?
00:37:26Hopefully we'll find out.
00:37:32Mr. Coulter, it's the police.
00:37:35Just a minute.
00:37:35Bobby, come back here now.
00:37:42He'll come home when he's hungry.
00:37:44Sorry to keep you.
00:37:46It's my heart that slows me down.
00:37:50Come through.
00:37:59What's this all about, then?
00:38:00We understand that you and Mr. Hoxton were involved in an ongoing feud.
00:38:06And you're putting two and two together and thinking I killed him.
00:38:09Well, no one said that, Mr. Coulter.
00:38:11Good.
00:38:13Because like I said, I've got heart problems.
00:38:16Ask my doctor.
00:38:19I'm not capable of hurting anyone.
00:38:20But Mr. Hoxton believed you were capable of seeking revenge by sending anonymous notes designed to frighten him.
00:38:28Well, the man was deluded.
00:38:31Nothing was ever proved.
00:38:32Well, this was found at the scene in Mr. Hoxton's jacket.
00:38:36Doesn't mean it's from me, does it?
00:38:38You knew about the sinkhole from the magnateer's chat group.
00:38:41So did everyone else.
00:38:43So why pick on me?
00:38:45The last call that Mr. Hoxton received was from a phone box.
00:38:50Was that you, Mr. Coulter?
00:38:52No.
00:38:53So you're wasting your time.
00:39:03I'd like you to go now.
00:39:05I need to rest.
00:39:06I can't handle the stress.
00:39:09Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:39:11I've told you everything I know.
00:39:12I'll just leave you there.
00:39:16You can see yourselves, Al.
00:39:35Come on, Vicar, pick up.
00:39:38Please.
00:39:42Ready, babe.
00:39:47What are you up to?
00:39:49This little beauty is an Anglo-Saxon figurine.
00:39:52Extremely rare, apparently.
00:39:54You're going to have to declare it.
00:39:55We're already in way too deep.
00:39:57It'll be fine, babe.
00:39:58We just need to hold our nerve.
00:40:00Production want me back in London.
00:40:09Look, it's okay.
00:40:09I can, um, I'll get the team to check out whether Jessie, you know, changed her identity or moved
00:40:13abroad.
00:40:14And if that doesn't work, we can look into other members of your family and see where that
00:40:17takes us.
00:40:20Finding Jessie's the only reason I agreed to do this.
00:40:23And I'm not ready to give up yet.
00:40:24Okay.
00:40:27Okay.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:44Vicar, thank God you're there now.
00:41:05I really need your help.
00:41:08I called Freddy, but the police don't trust him.
00:41:11You're the only one I can turn to.
00:41:14Hi. I'd like to stay another night, if that's okay.
00:41:31Oh, no problem. I meant to ask you, I heard you talking about Jessie Clissolt.
00:41:36She's my aunt.
00:41:38People seem to think we found our old bike this morning in the river on the estate.
00:41:45But that's not possible.
00:41:47Maybe they got it wrong. Just what I'd say.
00:41:50Yes, of course. Thank you.
00:42:02Vicar.
00:42:03Thank God.
00:42:06I'm in the kitchen.
00:42:11Vicar?
00:42:11So, Jessie went to Everglade House. It was a Catholic school for what used to be called troubled girls.
00:42:24I'm still trying to get a hold of the old school roll, but I did manage to find this.
00:42:28It's a copy of her last school report.
00:42:30Oh, wow.
00:42:32Jessica is extremely intelligent, but her rebellious nature makes her stubborn and hard to control.
00:42:41She sounds just like mum.
00:42:42Well, that's all I have so far. Any developments your end?
00:42:47Yeah. A bike was found in the river today. People believe it could be Jessie's, but that doesn't make any sense.
00:42:55Yes. Can you ask your Uncle Richard about it?
00:42:59He made it very clear that the door was closed, but I refuse to give up hope.
00:43:04Well, with or without him, we're getting closer.
00:43:06Is it a coincidence that a suspect in John's house was closed?
00:43:36Johnnie Hoxham's murder is now a victim himself.
00:43:39Statistics would say no, sir.
00:43:41Let's find out.
00:43:43Um, Reverend Gideon, we understand that you raised the alarm.
00:43:48Yes, Rufus called me. Sounded dreadful.
00:43:52Although we'd had our differences, he wanted my help.
00:43:56Did he say why?
00:43:57The magnateers pulled a bike out of the river this morning, and Richard Plissel recognized it.
00:44:04He said it belonged to his younger sister, Jessie. I'm sure of it.
00:44:09Why is that significant?
00:44:10Well, it was the bike that Jessie was meant to have left with.
00:44:14According to Richard, her bike had a pair of tartan panniers, and when it was pulled out of the river, only one remained.
00:44:21And Rufus told me that he'd found the other pannier in exactly the same part of the river over 30 years ago.
00:44:29Which would be ten years after Jessie left the village.
00:44:32Yeah, yeah, I believe so.
00:44:33Why would Mr. Coulter be interested in an old bike pannier?
00:44:37Well, Rufus, he collected everything, but this time he got lucky.
00:44:42Inside the pannier, he said he found a necklace.
00:44:46How's that relevant?
00:44:48You were already questioning him about Johnny's murder, and he worried that if it was found in his possession,
00:44:56it could connect him to whatever happened to Jessie, that he'd be accused of killing her too.
00:45:01So he asked me to take it.
00:45:03Where has the necklace been all this time?
00:45:06His gallery.
00:45:07His gallery.
00:45:08What does that mean?
00:45:09I have no idea.
00:45:11He promised to tell me everything when I came to the house, but I was too late.
00:45:19And where is the necklace now?
00:45:22Rufus said he brought it up from storage, but I couldn't see it anywhere.
00:45:26Breathe in, gents.
00:45:38It's a bit of a squeeze.
00:45:40You mentioned cardiac issues.
00:45:42Is that what killed him?
00:45:42An arrest has no visible signs, so we'll have to wait for the PM, but I'm concerned that the pile that crushed him was deliberately destabilized.
00:45:52I just need to prove it.
00:45:53I just need to prove it.
00:45:55Does that have all those equations, of all?
00:45:57It's all about angles, Winter.
00:45:59I once had a lover who was a champion skier.
00:46:03Of course you did.
00:46:03We went off feast in San Maritz and discovered a man who supposedly had fallen to his death.
00:46:11I knew immediately it was foul play.
00:46:14How?
00:46:14It's called the physics of a fall, based on analysis of the trajectory and impact site, angles, laws of motion.
00:46:26And you can calculate all of that with a tape measure?
00:46:29Laser distance meter.
00:46:32I'm not that much of a Luddite, Winter.
00:46:34What happened to your relationship with the sphere?
00:46:37I'm afraid that all went rapidly downhill.
00:46:41Nice abs, but dreadfully dull.
00:46:45I moved on with a handsome snowboarder.
00:46:48Not a clue that he was a senior member of the royal family.
00:46:52Who was it?
00:46:52They made me sign an NDA, I'm afraid.
00:46:55But it'll all be in my memoirs.
00:47:04She never ceases to amaze.
00:47:06Sir, Rufus Coulter told William Gideon that he'd brought the necklace up to me.
00:47:11Up from storage.
00:47:12But up from where?
00:47:14It could be an outbuilding or garage further down the hill.
00:47:18Yeah.
00:47:19Or...
00:47:24A cellar.
00:47:33A cellar.
00:47:35Well done, Winter.
00:47:41Down you go.
00:47:41No.
00:47:42Oh.
00:47:43I think we found Rufus Coulter's gallery, sir.
00:48:03Classic serial killer behaviour, sir.
00:48:12Trophies kept to symbolise the killer's conquest over their victims.
00:48:16Could Jesse Clisold be one of them?
00:48:17Fleur's trying to ID the recovered body parts from their DNA.
00:48:22It's a long shot, but we might get lucky.
00:48:24We seized the bite that the magneteers pulled from the river.
00:48:27And the contents of the pannier confirmed that it belonged to Jesse Clisold.
00:48:30Anything of interest?
00:48:32An ID with her purse, some cash, and some degraded items of clothing.
00:48:37She clearly intended to leave that day.
00:48:40Richard Clisold said that his family reported Jesse's disappearance to the police.
00:48:45See if there's any evidence of that in the archive.
00:48:47Any news on the missing necklace?
00:48:53Our team is still searching the property for it.
00:48:55I don't envy them sifting through that lot.
00:48:58If, as we now believe, that Rufus Coulter went down to his cellar to retrieve the necklace,
00:49:05why wasn't it found on his person?
00:49:08How does this connect to Johnny Hoxham's murder?
00:49:12Oh, Sir Fleur's got something for us.
00:49:13Results show that Mr. Coulter did indeed suffer a cardiac arrest at the time he was crushed.
00:49:22And my measurements came good, Winter.
00:49:26As you can see, physics suggest the tower was deliberately pushed.
00:49:31But, uh, that's not all.
00:49:34Mr. Coulter had an implantable cardiovertent defibrillator,
00:49:39a preventative measure for those at risk of cardiac arrest.
00:49:42But the device had been deliberately disabled.
00:49:46How?
00:49:46By being in close proximity to a powerful magnet.
00:49:50Like a large fishing magnet?
00:49:52Gold Star Winter.
00:49:54It would need to be positioned less than six inches away from his heart.
00:49:59But no magnet was found close to the body.
00:50:01Could it be anything else?
00:50:02Traces of neodymium, iron and boron were found on his chest area.
00:50:08So, in my opinion, a magnet was held over the victim's heart while he was still alive.
00:50:14Rufus Coulter's background check has just come in.
00:50:16And?
00:50:17Nothing remarkable other than how minted he was, given the scholar he lived in.
00:50:21But legal has come up with something interesting.
00:50:24Rufus Coulter left everything in his will to Freddy and Gemma Westcott.
00:50:28Oh, sorry.
00:50:43So sorry to bother you, Mrs. Gideon.
00:50:46Your husband said you might be here.
00:50:48I'm Lucy Weaving.
00:50:49Yes, of course.
00:50:51How can I help?
00:50:52I'm trying to trace my Aunt Jessie.
00:50:54Jessica Clissold.
00:50:56I understand you were there when her bike was found?
00:50:58Yes.
00:51:00It was a bit of a shock.
00:51:02Poor Richard seemed very upset.
00:51:06It's probably just a coincidence.
00:51:08But I worry that the recent murders and Jessie's disappearance might be connected somehow.
00:51:14I'm assuming you knew her.
00:51:15I knew of her, but I didn't really have any friends in the village apart from William.
00:51:19I spent my youth combing the river, collecting whatever I could find to use in my artworks.
00:51:26That's one of mine all-made-from-mud-larking finds.
00:51:35The river drew William and I together.
00:51:39He's a little bit older than me, but we shared a passion for mud-larking.
00:51:42It's beautiful.
00:51:44Oh, thank you.
00:51:44There's something wonderful about bringing new life to things that would otherwise be lost forever.
00:51:54You didn't seem very upset about Mr. Coulter's death, Mr. Westcott.
00:51:58By how it was expected, given his art condition.
00:52:00But you must have been close for him to make you the sole beneficiaries of his will.
00:52:05And given the state of your business, the timing seems pretty convenient.
00:52:08It's not what you think.
00:52:09Rufus had never been popular in the village.
00:52:11He was eccentric, harmless. He just couldn't let anything go.
00:52:14Which is why he was so angry when Johnny grassed him up.
00:52:18The heritage law confiscated loads of his most treasured finds. He was distraught.
00:52:23Rufus knew he would never make old bones.
00:52:25So he asked us to take care of the rest of it after he'd gone.
00:52:28I said yes.
00:52:29And William.
00:52:31You're joking, aren't you?
00:52:32I'll sell anything that's worth something.
00:52:35Take the rest of the dump.
00:52:36What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
00:52:38But he was hurt, Mrs. Westcott.
00:52:41Quite deliberately.
00:52:42I thought he had heart attack.
00:52:44He did, but his defibrillator implant failed because someone held a magnet over his heart to disable it.
00:52:49Just like the ones you use.
00:52:51Oh, hang on a minute.
00:52:52You clearly had motive, given the state of your business, and you knew that the inheritance would solve all your problems.
00:52:58And you had the means.
00:52:59Rufus had his own magnets.
00:53:01Anyone could have done it.
00:53:09DCI Barnaby.
00:53:11Lucy Weaving.
00:53:13We met briefly on my uncle's doorstep.
00:53:14I remember.
00:53:15This is my colleague, Dias Winter.
00:53:17How can we help?
00:53:18I'm concerned that my digging into Aunt Jessie's past might have something to do with the recent murders.
00:53:23Why would you think that?
00:53:24No one in the village seems to know anything.
00:53:26Or if they do, they won't talk to me.
00:53:29The vicar's wife says she barely knew her.
00:53:31My uncle Richard refuses to talk about it.
00:53:33And when I tried to speak to Mary Hamble about her, she shut the door in my face.
00:53:38I'm pretty sure she's hiding something.
00:53:41Well, thank you, Miss Weaving.
00:53:43Leave it with us.
00:53:43The police are out of me.
00:53:49Gonna have to do this now.
00:53:52I don't think the Westcots realise how rich they're gonna be.
00:53:54Not much to spend it on in prison.
00:53:57They both have motive for Rufus Coulter, but not, thank you, Johnny Hoxham, and there's no evidence to place them at either murders.
00:54:03Well, let's keep an open mind for now.
00:54:05Just got the initial tests back on the body parts in the cellar.
00:54:09It seems they date back to way before Rufus Coulter was even born.
00:54:14Backing up the Westcots' assertion that he treasured everything he found, however macabre.
00:54:18So, they were telling the truth about that, at least.
00:54:21I'll leave you to it, gentlemen.
00:54:23This is from archives about Jesse Clissold's disappearance.
00:54:27It seems that Clissolds accused her of stealing family jewellery.
00:54:31Notably, a very valuable 17th century posy ring.
00:54:35I made a note of the engraving to help identify it, should it be found.
00:54:38United Hearts Death Only Parts.
00:54:43Several people said that they saw Jesse Clissold leave the village on her bike.
00:54:48Only Mary Hamble made a statement saying she saw her at the station, which Mrs. Hamble refused to discuss with Lucy Weaving.
00:54:54Why?
00:54:55We need to talk to her.
00:54:59In your statement, you claim that Jesse Clissold got on the train to London with her bike.
00:55:03The same bike that was found in the river this morning.
00:55:05Maybe I was confused.
00:55:07Jesse was never without a bike.
00:55:09It was such a long time ago.
00:55:11But you saw her at the station.
00:55:13You're absolutely sure of that?
00:55:14Of course I'm sure.
00:55:15Well, if you think of anything else, give us a call.
00:55:23Thank you for your time.
00:55:41Mary Hamble doesn't strike me as a person who gets confused.
00:55:45I agree.
00:55:46She knows exactly what she saw that day.
00:55:51That's tech.
00:55:52Looks like Rufus Coulter called the vicarage twice before he died.
00:55:56Gideon's phone records reveal that the first call went to voicemail, but was subsequently deleted.
00:56:02The second call was answered.
00:56:04Reverend Gideon didn't mention a voicemail.
00:56:07Let's see if he's at home.
00:56:15Everyone get here.
00:56:32Gideon.
00:56:32Sorry to disturb you. We tried the house, but there was no answer.
00:56:42I lost my bus, Ricky. I'll just skip spares here somewhere, but no luck so far.
00:56:47How can I help?
00:56:48The calls you received from Rufus Coulter, there seems to be some discrepancy.
00:56:52Two calls were made to the vicarage from Mr. Coulter's mobile.
00:56:55The first one went to voicemail. A message was left that lasted over a minute.
00:56:59The second call was answered.
00:57:01You mentioned the call, but not the message.
00:57:04I never heard it.
00:57:06Generally, I have no idea how that could have happened.
00:57:08My wife was here. I was alone in the house.
00:57:11I see. Well, thank you for your time. We'll see ourselves out.
00:57:20William, I'm so sorry. There's something I haven't told you.
00:57:25I deleted that voicemail.
00:57:27Why?
00:57:28Rufus was so awful to Johnny, and I didn't see why we should help him.
00:57:31I need to tell them the truth.
00:57:33Okay, uh, I'll handle it.
00:57:36I don't know.
00:57:41I'm so sorry.
00:57:43I'm so sorry.
00:57:46Up to you, old shits, Carl!
00:58:10Reverend Gideon was the last person to have seen Johnny Hoxham alive
00:58:16and the first person to have seen Rufus called to dead, or so he claims.
00:58:20He had no explanation for the deleted voicemail
00:58:23and he failed to pass on the warning about the sinkhole.
00:58:26He had means and opportunity to kill both victims, but...
00:58:29Yes, Winter.
00:58:30What's the motive?
00:58:33We are. Okay. All right. Well, we'll be right down.
00:58:37Cole Densmore is in custody.
00:58:38He was caught red-handed stealing lead off the church roof,
00:58:41but says he wants to talk to us.
00:58:42Why?
00:58:43Well, apparently he saw Reverend Gideon acting suspiciously in the churchyard,
00:58:46says he thought he saw him hiding something.
00:58:48Did he now?
00:58:51Cole Densmore said it was on the far side,
00:58:54an old grave under a tree with an urn.
00:59:00Could it be that one?
00:59:08It must be the necklace Rufus Coulter found in Jesse Clisol's pannier.
00:59:27What was Reverend Gideon doing with it?
00:59:30Why was he hiding it out here?
00:59:32Reverend Gideon.
00:59:48You have some explaining to do.
00:59:50I've been praying for guidance, Chief Inspector,
00:59:56and God's answered my prayers.
00:59:59Time's come to confess the truth.
01:00:03Which is what, exactly?
01:00:07Jesse's death was a terrible accident.
01:00:08I, uh, I hit her with my car on the way to the station.
01:00:15I knew I was over the limit,
01:00:17and if the truth came out, then I'd be finished.
01:00:22So you covered it up?
01:00:25Yeah, I, uh...
01:00:28I disposed of her and a bike in the deepest part of the river.
01:00:33I had no idea that the necklace was in her pannier.
01:00:38Why did that matter?
01:00:40Uh, well, Jesse had always admired the shilling,
01:00:44so I had it made into a necklace,
01:00:46a 16th birthday present.
01:00:50So you knew the family well?
01:00:53Yeah, my, uh...
01:00:56My family had always attended St. Leonard's,
01:00:58as had the Gazards, Alice's parents.
01:01:01It was then they encouraged me
01:01:04to follow Reverend Clissold into the ministry.
01:01:08But prior to my ordination,
01:01:10I'd taken up a curacy in London,
01:01:13and I'd found the coin,
01:01:15a rare 1819 George III gold-plated shilling,
01:01:20mud-larking in the Thames,
01:01:21where one is obliged to have
01:01:23all significant finds officially recorded.
01:01:26So I knew when Rufus found it
01:01:30that it could be traced back to me.
01:01:34And rather than help Rufus,
01:01:35you decided to retrieve the necklace
01:01:38and silence him?
01:01:40Yeah, he wanted to tell the police.
01:01:44And I couldn't let that happen.
01:01:48And Johnny Hogson?
01:01:48Johnny was in love with my wife,
01:01:53and I feared that she felt the same,
01:01:57and I was terrified of losing her.
01:02:03So you lured him to his death?
01:02:08Yeah.
01:02:11I've no excuse for any of it, Chief Inspector.
01:02:13It was all a kind of madness
01:02:15for which I know I have no hope of forgiveness.
01:02:18You don't buy it, sir?
01:02:39Not entirely.
01:02:41It just seems too studied, too neat.
01:02:44Like the last act of a play.
01:02:47If he is telling the truth,
01:02:49then you know someone else who must be lying.
01:02:53That statement I made 40 years ago,
01:02:56it was a lie.
01:02:59I never saw Jesse at the station.
01:03:02So why make that statement?
01:03:04Because I was asked to.
01:03:06But when Lucy Weaving started breaking all this up again,
01:03:11I didn't know what to do for the best.
01:03:14Reverend Gideon advised me to follow my conscience.
01:03:18Is that who asked you to lie?
01:03:19No.
01:03:21It was Richard Clisold.
01:03:24Can you tell us why?
01:03:26Richard caught Jesse stealing their mother's jewellery.
01:03:30She told him she was leaving.
01:03:32Said if he stopped her,
01:03:33then she'd make it her business
01:03:35to bring shame on the family.
01:03:37Well, Richard couldn't risk that happening.
01:03:39So we let her go.
01:03:41And then asked me to say
01:03:42I'd seen her at the station
01:03:43to stop people asking questions.
01:03:45Why did you agree to her?
01:03:49At the time,
01:03:50I half believed I was in love with him.
01:03:53I'd have done anything he asked.
01:03:56But now,
01:03:57I'm wondering if I helped him get away with murder.
01:04:00So William confessed to killing Jessica.
01:04:07He's also confessed to the murders
01:04:09of Johnny Hoxham and Rufus Coulter.
01:04:13So he lied
01:04:14to everyone?
01:04:18As did you, Mr. Clisold.
01:04:21Forty years ago.
01:04:23You asked Mary Hanball
01:04:24to give a false statement
01:04:25about your sister Jessie's departure.
01:04:26Mary came to me this afternoon.
01:04:36She said she would tell you the truth
01:04:37if I didn't.
01:04:39I asked Mary to lie
01:04:41to stop any further questions being asked.
01:04:45Why would you do that?
01:04:47My father
01:04:48was the subject
01:04:50of some vile rumors.
01:04:53Jessie threatened to tell
01:04:54the church community
01:04:55that they were all true.
01:04:57What did you do?
01:04:58I tried to persuade Jessie to stay,
01:05:00but she said she would only do that
01:05:02if our father's hypocrisy
01:05:04was exposed.
01:05:06The coward in me
01:05:07couldn't face the truth,
01:05:09so we struck a deal.
01:05:12I would allow her to leave
01:05:13without raising the alarm,
01:05:15but she could never return.
01:05:17I blamed it all on her,
01:05:18but in truth
01:05:20my parents
01:05:23were to blame
01:05:23for all her pain.
01:05:25What do you mean?
01:05:26They should have tried
01:05:27to understand Jessie
01:05:28instead of farming her out
01:05:30to a school for girls
01:05:31with troubled,
01:05:32often violent,
01:05:34backgrounds.
01:05:35It was then
01:05:36she started calling herself Leo.
01:05:38Leo?
01:05:39Why?
01:05:40Because lions
01:05:41are wild,
01:05:42powerful,
01:05:43brave,
01:05:44all the things
01:05:45she needed to be
01:05:46in order to survive.
01:05:47I loved my father
01:05:50too much.
01:05:51If the truth came out,
01:05:53it would have destroyed him.
01:05:56But that poor girl
01:05:58was my sister,
01:06:00innocent of any wrongdoing.
01:06:04I should have protected her,
01:06:08not him.
01:06:13I was too weak.
01:06:17Here you go, love.
01:06:21Oh, and this came
01:06:22for you, Miss Weaving.
01:06:25Who delivered it?
01:06:26No idea.
01:06:27I found it on the table outside.
01:06:29The victim's been arrested.
01:06:31Seen to your hypocrites
01:06:32behind all of it,
01:06:33including
01:06:33what happened to your aunt.
01:06:35I always knew
01:06:35that man was a wrong'un.
01:06:36Are you absolutely sure?
01:06:37100%.
01:06:38I saw the cop
01:06:39was taken away.
01:06:40After all,
01:06:41that finger pointing at me.
01:06:42Yeah, we're on our way there now.
01:06:48I'll let them know
01:06:49to expect you.
01:06:51That was the
01:06:51Heritage Crime Unit.
01:06:53Our surgeon
01:06:53to Freddie Westcott
01:06:54brought them to us.
01:06:55Looks like his dodgy deal
01:06:57is about to catch up.
01:06:58Oh, let's give him
01:06:59the good news.
01:07:01I'll try and get hold
01:07:02of Sarah,
01:07:03see if she's got anywhere
01:07:04with Jesse Clissold's
01:07:05school records.
01:07:07We know that she was
01:07:08mixing with
01:07:09troubled,
01:07:10violent pupils,
01:07:11but who were they?
01:07:13Did she have any
01:07:13particular friends
01:07:14or enemies?
01:07:16Sarah might have
01:07:17some answers.
01:07:20Ah, you find
01:07:21you're a real murderer there?
01:07:23Told you we had
01:07:23nothing to do with it.
01:07:24And we are going
01:07:25to be very rich
01:07:26through no fault of our own.
01:07:28Indeed,
01:07:29though you might have
01:07:30to serve a prison sentence
01:07:31before you can enjoy it.
01:07:33Remember that man
01:07:33that you sold
01:07:34the Anglo-Saxon figurine to?
01:07:36The same man
01:07:36you and Cole Densmore
01:07:37had on speed dial
01:07:38to offload
01:07:39all your mudlarking
01:07:40contraband.
01:07:41Well, it turns out
01:07:42that he works undercover
01:07:43at the Heritage Crimes Union
01:07:44and they've been
01:07:45following your
01:07:46under-the-counter dealings
01:07:47for months.
01:07:48In fact,
01:07:48they're on their way
01:07:49here now.
01:07:51Hello?
01:07:54I'm so sorry
01:07:54to bother you,
01:07:55but I heard
01:07:55about your husband.
01:07:57It must have been
01:07:57a terrible shock.
01:07:58It's almost impossible
01:07:59to believe.
01:08:01William's just
01:08:02not capable.
01:08:05Someone just
01:08:06left me this.
01:08:09Leave now
01:08:12or you'll be next.
01:08:13If William was
01:08:14already in custody
01:08:15when it was delivered,
01:08:15then it can't be him.
01:08:17And why would he
01:08:17threaten me
01:08:18if he was just
01:08:19about to converse?
01:08:19It doesn't make any sense.
01:08:21Have you told the police?
01:08:22Not yet.
01:08:23Well,
01:08:24why don't I call them
01:08:25and make us
01:08:25some sweet tea?
01:08:28I think we could
01:08:28both do with it.
01:09:09Gideon's confession
01:09:10before the press
01:09:11get a hold of it.
01:09:15Hey.
01:09:16I finally managed
01:09:17to speak to one
01:09:18of the nuns
01:09:18who taught at Everglade House.
01:09:20She remembered Jesse well,
01:09:21but when I asked her
01:09:21about friends,
01:09:22she said she only had one.
01:09:23Alice Gazard.
01:09:25Gazard?
01:09:25That's Alice Gideon's
01:09:27maiden name.
01:09:27She told Lucy Weaving
01:09:28that they barely
01:09:29knew each other.
01:09:29According to Sister Maria,
01:09:30they were kindred spirits.
01:09:32Both had experienced
01:09:33painful rejection
01:09:33by their families
01:09:34and became inseparable.
01:09:35But Alice still lived
01:09:36with her parents.
01:09:37No, her adoptive parents.
01:09:38Alice was abandoned
01:09:39at birth
01:09:40and taken in
01:09:41by the Catholic school
01:09:42attached to the convent.
01:09:43Sister Maria handled
01:09:44her first fostering placement.
01:09:46It was terminated
01:09:47after an act
01:09:48of extreme violence.
01:09:49What happened?
01:09:52The incident took place
01:09:54after Mrs. Marchmont
01:09:55informed Alice
01:09:56that she would be
01:09:57returning her
01:09:58to the convent.
01:09:59She told Alice
01:10:00she had been
01:10:01a great disappointment
01:10:01and not the daughter
01:10:02she wanted.
01:10:03as Mrs. Marchmont
01:10:04walked away
01:10:05Alice picked up
01:10:06one of Mr. Marchmont's
01:10:07golf clubs
01:10:08and struck her
01:10:09across the back
01:10:10of the head
01:10:10with such force
01:10:12that it fractured
01:10:12her skull.
01:10:14She was only
01:10:14eight years old.
01:10:16It says here
01:10:16that the Gazards
01:10:17took her in within weeks.
01:10:18I mean,
01:10:18how's that even possible?
01:10:19Well, a decision
01:10:20was made not to reveal
01:10:20what happened.
01:10:21Sister Maria thought
01:10:22that was wrong
01:10:22so she kept
01:10:23a copy of her records.
01:10:25The Gazards
01:10:25were advised
01:10:26to keep Alice
01:10:26at the same school
01:10:27to avoid further disruption
01:10:28and Jessie Clissel
01:10:30joined her there
01:10:30when she was 13.
01:10:31So Alice Gideon
01:10:32lied about everything?
01:10:33And her husband's
01:10:33confession seemed
01:10:34too studied,
01:10:35too neat
01:10:36because it was.
01:10:38He was lying
01:10:38to protect Alice.
01:10:49Mrs. Gideon?
01:10:51Mrs. Gideon?
01:10:56There the house
01:10:57is all locked up.
01:10:58There's no answer.
01:10:58Let's try the studio.
01:11:06Lucy's in there.
01:11:07Get in there.
01:11:13Ambulance.
01:11:14Stay there, sir.
01:11:15The vicarage
01:11:15goes with him.
01:11:17Lucy.
01:11:17Blunt-water trauma
01:11:35to the head
01:11:36with a dose
01:11:37of gas-induced
01:11:38asphyxiation
01:11:39for good measure.
01:11:40This bottle of ammonia
01:11:42is the culprit.
01:11:43What's going on?
01:11:44What's going on?
01:11:45When boiled,
01:11:46pure ammonia
01:11:47becomes a highly
01:11:48concentrated gas.
01:11:50Extremely dangerous
01:11:51to inhale.
01:11:52When diluted
01:11:53with water,
01:11:53it can also be used
01:11:54to strip metal.
01:11:55Something Alice Gideon
01:11:56might use
01:11:57to clean her mudlock
01:11:58in fines.
01:11:59What are you thinking, sir?
01:12:10With a quote
01:12:11Richard Clisthold,
01:12:12I'm getting my eye in.
01:12:15Mudlockers look for
01:12:16treasures
01:12:17that are
01:12:18unseen by most
01:12:21but not invisible
01:12:22to all.
01:12:23and I think
01:12:25I've found one.
01:12:27Leo.
01:12:29What's that?
01:12:30Jessie Clisthold's
01:12:31alter ego
01:12:32was a lion.
01:12:33She called herself
01:12:34Leo.
01:12:36The jewellery
01:12:37that Jessie stole
01:12:38on the day
01:12:38she left
01:12:39included a posy ring.
01:12:43And a part
01:12:44of this lion's eye
01:12:46is a ring
01:12:47displaying
01:12:47the French word
01:12:48mar.
01:12:50Death.
01:12:51When the wording
01:12:52on the stolen ring
01:12:52was in English.
01:12:53But these rings
01:12:55were often engraved
01:12:56in French
01:12:56on the outside
01:12:58and English
01:12:59on the inside.
01:13:02As in this case
01:13:03Unis les coeurs
01:13:05la mort
01:13:06ne fait que separer
01:13:08and on the inside
01:13:10united hearts
01:13:13death only parts.
01:13:16Jessie Clisthold
01:13:17had the ring
01:13:18in her possession
01:13:18when she left
01:13:19for London
01:13:19so what is it doing
01:13:21in Alice Gideon's
01:13:22studio?
01:13:25We need to ask
01:13:25before she does
01:13:26animal harm.
01:13:27Sir.
01:13:27So.
01:13:28Lucy Weaving is going to live, Mrs. Gideon, despite your best efforts.
01:13:58Lucy Weaving, we found the ring that Jessie Clisol stole from her mother on the day that
01:14:02she left home.
01:14:03You need to understand how it came to be in your possession.
01:14:08You need to tell us exactly what happened, Mrs. Gideon.
01:14:11Mrs. Gideon Before I do, I need you to know that I loved
01:14:16her and that she loved me.
01:14:19We could never be together here, so we made a plan to leave, go somewhere they'd never
01:14:24find us, but I couldn't go through with it.
01:14:27I was only 17. William and I were already engaged.
01:14:32He offered me safety and stability.
01:14:36Things that had eluded you as a child.
01:14:39We know that you were rejected by your birth mother and then by your foster family.
01:14:46I started to think, what had Jessie abandoned me to?
01:14:52I'd had no one.
01:14:53So I panicked, begged her to stay.
01:14:57I needed more time.
01:14:58No one knew we were even friends.
01:15:01But she said it was too late.
01:15:03That if I didn't go with her, she was going to tell William the truth.
01:15:05I thought she was bluffing, but she was deadly serious.
01:15:10William had given me the necklace as an engagement presence.
01:15:13A talisman to keep me safe.
01:15:16Jessie said she was going to give it back to William.
01:15:18Tell him I didn't need it.
01:15:21What do you think you're doing?
01:15:22She was my lover and protector now.
01:15:25Give me back!
01:15:25No, leave me alone.
01:15:27Stop it!
01:15:27Stop it!
01:15:28What are you doing?
01:15:33You struck her violently from behind.
01:15:53Just as you'd struck Mrs. Marchmont, almost killing her, too.
01:15:58I felt no remorse for what I did to that woman.
01:16:00But I didn't mean to her, Jessie. I loved her.
01:16:04You could have come clean about it, and they said you decided to cover it up.
01:16:08I knew that the water was deepest under the bridge.
01:16:14But your necklace was still in the jacket, in the pannier bag.
01:16:18Evidence that you feared might put you at the scene of Jessie's death.
01:16:23By the time I realized that, it was too late. I still had to hide her body.
01:16:27And you knew the river like the back of your hand.
01:16:30I remembered there's a deep hollow in the bank just around the bend in the river.
01:16:34I dragged Jessie's body to the water, and I floated her downstream,
01:16:43and I managed to push her body deep inside the hollow and weigh it down with rocks.
01:16:47And that's where she has remained?
01:16:52But when Lucy Weaving started asking questions, I needed to check that her remains were still well hidden,
01:17:01and that's when Johnny saw me.
01:17:03We'd been mudlarking at Hollybrook.
01:17:05I told William that I wanted to walk home.
01:17:07I thought that Johnny would go back over the bridges, but he didn't.
01:17:10Alice?
01:17:10Oh?
01:17:12What are you doing?
01:17:12Oh, um, I thought I saw something in the water, but it was just a trick of the light.
01:17:17Oh.
01:17:18Well, it's not a bad idea looking here, though.
01:17:20The current flows this way from Hollybrook.
01:17:22I'll come back here tomorrow.
01:17:24Come with me if you're free.
01:17:26Sure.
01:17:28Good idea.
01:17:29Great.
01:17:30And you couldn't let that happen, knowing what he might discover.
01:17:34I didn't have a plan until William got the call about the sinkhole by the jetty.
01:17:39He had no idea that I was listening in on the conversation.
01:17:43You called Johnny Hoxham from the phone box and lured him to his death.
01:17:48It seemed like the easiest solution, but it was so hard.
01:17:52Help.
01:17:54Help.
01:17:56Shall we?
01:17:58Please.
01:17:58Help me.
01:18:02Please.
01:18:08First, you tried to implicate Cole Densmore by saying that you'd seen him at the river.
01:18:13And then you got lucky.
01:18:14Rufus Coulter sent Johnny Hoxham a memento mori that evening, making him our prime suspect.
01:18:20You heard the message that Rufus left at the vicarage.
01:18:22You knew that he'd found the necklace, which he feared might wrongly connect him to Jesse's death.
01:18:29But in reality, it connects you.
01:18:32What happened exactly?
01:18:38William was just coming out of Evensong that night, and I was leaving to meet Jesse.
01:18:45I told him that I was going for a bike ride, and he was worried it might not be safe.
01:18:49It was getting dark.
01:18:49I told him that as long as I was wearing his necklace, I would always be safe.
01:18:54He kissed it, just to make sure.
01:18:58And when I returned hours later, I was in a terrible state.
01:19:02I told him the necklace was lost.
01:19:05That the class must have come undone or something.
01:19:07That I'd been desperately trying to find it all this time.
01:19:09And now you had to recover the necklace from Rufus Coulter to stop William finding out the truth.
01:19:19Vicar?
01:19:26And you didn't leave anything to chance, did you?
01:19:29You found one of Mr. Coulter's fishing magnets and placed it on his chest to ensure his silence.
01:19:34What?
01:19:34But then your husband found the necklace by chance.
01:20:00William had lost his key.
01:20:02He knew that I kept spares in the studio.
01:20:04He must have been looking for mine when he found the necklace.
01:20:11Reverend Gideon!
01:20:18And when he found it, your husband realized that you'd got to Rufus Coulter before he did.
01:20:24That you lied to cover your tracks.
01:20:26And that you'd been with Jesse Clisseld when she died.
01:20:29And so he confessed to all of it.
01:20:32In order to protect you.
01:20:33And you let him.
01:20:34But you knew you were still in danger as long as Lucy Weaving was still asking questions.
01:20:40That's why I wrote the note.
01:20:42Just to frighten her into leaving.
01:20:43But while you were out delivering your note, your husband was making his confession.
01:20:48That wasn't part of the plan.
01:20:50Lucy realized that if William had been arrested, then he couldn't have left the note.
01:20:53I just needed to buy myself some time.
01:20:56So I told her that I would make tea, call the police.
01:20:59Then, as I left, I saw her staring at Leo.
01:21:03I knew in that moment that she was close to the truth.
01:21:10That there would be questions that I wouldn't be able to answer.
01:21:18It was too late to stop.
01:21:20Your husband's been released.
01:21:29He'd like to talk to you, but you're under no obligation.
01:21:32No.
01:21:34I want to.
01:21:43I always thought you were fragile, Alice.
01:21:46Needed my protection.
01:21:48But the one you've become, I don't recognize.
01:21:51She's not my Alice.
01:21:53She's always been there, William.
01:21:54I just learned how to keep her well hidden.
01:21:58Because no one's ever loved or wanted that, Alice.
01:22:03Except Jessie.
01:22:07You'll need to tell us exactly where she is.
01:22:12She's downstream.
01:22:16In the hollow.
01:22:19I've already said my goodbyes.
01:22:25I am so sorry, William.
01:22:28You're a natural detective, Sarah.
01:22:39Well, only if it's history related.
01:22:41But when it is, you're like a dog with a bone.
01:22:44Oh, not again, Paddy.
01:22:46We're going to have to get rid of that rug, Sarah.
01:22:50Hey.
01:22:53It's the silver identity bracelet you got me when I had Betty.
01:22:56You lost that years ago.
01:22:57Oh, and I'm very grateful to have him back.
01:23:00Good boy.
01:23:01Seems like Paddy's good at solving mysteries, too.
01:23:04Well, maybe you should take him mudlarking.
01:23:06He might be able to help you find that water she lost when you went fishing.
01:23:09Oh, that's a great idea.
01:23:10What do you say, Detective Paddy?
01:23:11Do you want to go fishing again?
01:23:13Go on, then.
01:23:14See if you can find my wellies.
01:23:15Okay.
01:23:16We'll see you there, buddy.
01:23:16You少ças you great.
01:23:20Come on.
01:23:20Okay.
01:23:21Hey.
01:23:22Yes.
01:23:22Bye.
01:23:23The fundingации of Ad 여기 is a drug place.
01:23:26Hey.
01:23:31Oh, my God.
01:23:31How are you going to win this?
01:23:34See you better?
01:23:34Bye.
01:23:35Hey.
01:23:35Bye.
01:23:35Bye.
01:23:35Bye.
01:23:37Bye.
01:23:38Bye.
01:23:42Bye.
01:23:43Bye.
