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