00:00:06The End
00:00:49As the bible says, bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.
00:00:57To do this, Charles Williams promoted the concept of co-inherence, which held that we are all spiritually connected and
00:01:07can, through ritual, share suffering and ease one another's burdens of, for example, guilt.
00:01:17Not intellectually or theologically, yet something much more real, practical.
00:01:36No, no, honestly, no need to help.
00:01:44What do you want with all this junk anyway?
00:01:47Not sure.
00:01:59Forgiveness is not a solitary affair, can be and is a shared experience.
00:02:05Because through active engagement with the Holy Spirit, it's not only Christ who can forgive sins, so can we.
00:02:35Look at the stale of her.
00:02:42Oh my God, what a mess.
00:02:45Someone's got to be too many.
00:02:49Someone's got to be too many.
00:03:03In your opinion, not wonder the rest of us happened to share.
00:03:06Really, Williams was a minor theologian and no academic.
00:03:10It's in his favor then, isn't it?
00:03:11Less arrogant and patronizing.
00:03:13Well, coming from you, the tattooed freak.
00:03:15Come on, guys.
00:03:16Come, come.
00:03:17Let's just calm it.
00:03:19So much for forgiveness.
00:03:21Let's go.
00:03:26Let's go.
00:03:47Yes.
00:03:54Let's go.
00:03:56Let's go.
00:03:57Let's go.
00:04:01Let's go.
00:04:16Let's go.
00:04:26Let's go.
00:04:32Let's go.
00:04:33Let's go.
00:04:44Let's go.
00:04:47Let's go.
00:04:49Let's go.
00:04:58Let's go.
00:05:00Let's go.
00:05:10Let's go.
00:05:18Look, Tim's a college dean, Phil Beskin.
00:05:21What's a college dean doing right out here?
00:05:23I don't know, but he must have got here pretty late.
00:05:25He was giving a talk in town on one of the inklings.
00:05:28All right.
00:05:28Which one this time?
00:05:29Tolkien or Lewis?
00:05:30Charles Williams, the third inkling.
00:05:32Beskin was a bit of an authority.
00:05:35Blunt trauma to the back of the head.
00:05:37Skull crushed.
00:05:39One fell swoop by the look.
00:05:40Round four or five o'clock.
00:05:43Socko found a mobile phone on the ground and...
00:05:46Maggots?
00:05:47Yep.
00:05:50This happened just a few hours ago.
00:05:52There's no way the maggots come from the corpse or the raven.
00:05:56Well, it's staged, intended to be found.
00:06:02And know this, that the summit of art is the raven,
00:06:06who flies without wings and the blackness of night and the holiness of the day.
00:06:12That's a new one on me.
00:06:14Are they making a statement or a warning, maybe?
00:06:18Some kind of ritual killer?
00:06:22I think this might have something to do with alchemy.
00:06:27Turning lead into gold.
00:06:30Well, it's more than that.
00:06:31It's the precursor to modern science.
00:06:33It's understanding the secrets in nature to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
00:06:38Ambitious then.
00:06:39Well, for others it's a spiritual thing, converting the lead of ignorance into the gold of enlightenment.
00:06:44Gentlemen.
00:06:45On my way in.
00:06:46How's it going?
00:06:47Good, we just started.
00:06:49So?
00:06:50What we got?
00:06:51Body.
00:06:55A body?
00:06:58Well, that's all we do have. Ish.
00:07:00Don't wind Modi up. That's my job.
00:07:04How's your dad?
00:07:06Well, he's not getting any better, is he?
00:07:08Go and see him.
00:07:13What happened to you last night?
00:07:16I was burning the midnight oil.
00:07:18Phil's talk inspired me, so I thought I'd make some changes at a text.
00:07:22Phil won't be happy.
00:07:23Phil doesn't bother me anymore.
00:07:40Why do hangovers get worse the older you get?
00:07:43Too long between sessions. The trick is just to keep drinking.
00:07:46Phil Beskin.
00:07:47Er, yes. Er, so I spoke to the landlord at the Waterman's.
00:07:51He confirmed that the usual group were in there after their talk last night.
00:07:54Apparently there was a bit of trouble, but no, it's hardly Battle of Helm's Deep.
00:07:57You were right about alchemy.
00:07:59That quote is from a 17th century German alchemist.
00:08:03The question is, what's it got to do with murder?
00:08:05Or Charles Williams?
00:08:07Did Charles Williams write about alchemy?
00:08:09No. Theology, Supernatural Novels. I mean it's a bit of a mystic.
00:08:13Er, details of the phone found at the scene. Er, it belonged to the victim.
00:08:17A text came through at 4.37am.
00:08:21At Boar's Hill. Going to end it all.
00:08:25Suicide? Or threat to?
00:08:28According to this from someone called the Lioness.
00:08:31Right, let's get on to the service provider and get a real name.
00:08:34Okay.
00:08:35Lioness, what's that? A girlfriend?
00:08:37There's quite a few on here. Er, the butterfly, the serpent, the eagle.
00:08:46As long as they're not all pubs.
00:08:51New Zealand was Laura's idea to be on hand for the birth of her niece's baby.
00:08:56Mind to see a bit of the world while we're still young enough to enjoy it.
00:09:00Far, far too late for you.
00:09:01Get less of that, thank you.
00:09:04Er, is it just you two or family as well?
00:09:06Just the two of us, I hope.
00:09:08So what do we know about Phil Beskin's wife? Is she expecting us?
00:09:12No, Grace Bestin works in the college library.
00:09:15As for Beskin himself, he's an engineering science lecturer.
00:09:17Very popular with the students on account of his late night drinking.
00:09:22Custoral care at its best, huh?
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:30Okay.
00:09:33There's Maddox.
00:09:34She's got a lead on our Lioness.
00:09:36Local girl by the name of Gina Doran.
00:09:38Goes out with a student from Phil Beskin's college.
00:09:40Nate Hedison.
00:09:42You do Gina.
00:09:43I will do Grace Beskin.
00:09:50I'm here to see Grace Beskin.
00:09:54Mrs. Beskin.
00:09:56My name is D.I. Hathaway.
00:09:58Very sorry to hear of your loss.
00:10:00I'm afraid I have a few questions for you.
00:10:02It's not a great time right now.
00:10:04Who are you?
00:10:06His sister.
00:10:07Any idea who killed him?
00:10:08Not yet hence the need for questions.
00:10:11Dax and Annapona Kenison.
00:10:14If we can help.
00:10:15Really.
00:10:16Anything.
00:10:28We should postpone this evening.
00:10:30No.
00:10:30No, no.
00:10:31Phil would have wanted you to go ahead.
00:10:32Would he?
00:10:33He might not have approved of your changes.
00:10:35He would have been fine about it.
00:10:36The point is, as he said in his talk, it worked for him and you've waited long enough.
00:10:48We had an early supper and then he went to do his talk.
00:10:54That was the last I saw him.
00:10:56And you weren't aware that he hadn't come home?
00:10:57No.
00:10:58Well, he was always out all night.
00:11:00I was at the talk and the pub and they were still going strong about midnight when I left.
00:11:04So you weren't at the talk, is that correct?
00:11:07I'm not a great Williams fan, to be honest.
00:11:10I'm afraid my faith is rather simpler than my husband's.
00:11:16Butterfly, lioness, serpent and eagle, all characters in Charles Williams' place of the lion.
00:11:21Yeah.
00:11:23I'm the serpent, apparently.
00:11:25Phil's idea of a joke.
00:11:27Do you have any idea who the others are?
00:11:29No.
00:11:30I gather your husband got on very well with his students.
00:11:32He'd do anything for them.
00:11:34Phil wasn't great with boundaries.
00:11:36In other words, the students ran rings around him.
00:11:39There's a fine line between sainthood and being a mug.
00:11:42What?
00:11:43It's true.
00:11:45Are you familiar with a Nate Edison?
00:11:47Phil was worried Nate's love life was interfering with his studies.
00:11:52They'd had words.
00:11:53Recently?
00:11:54Er, last couple of days.
00:11:58Your husband's talk?
00:11:59Please, help yourself.
00:12:09Oxford students and a local girl.
00:12:12I thought that wasn't allowed.
00:12:13Where there's a will, there's a way, Lizzie.
00:12:18Mr. Henderson?
00:12:21Hello?
00:12:23It's Doran.
00:12:28Gina?
00:12:39Phil's dead.
00:12:40Someone killed him up at Bores Hill last night.
00:12:44He was responding to a text that you sent him.
00:12:47You said that you were there and you were going to harm yourself.
00:12:51I don't think I can remember.
00:12:52And I can't find my phone.
00:12:54How did you get the cuts on your arms?
00:12:58Er...
00:12:58Climbing through the window, I guess.
00:13:02Was your boyfriend with you?
00:13:04No.
00:13:05Where did you go?
00:13:06College bar from about eight and the hopper later.
00:13:10Er...
00:13:10Gina!
00:13:11Gina!
00:13:15Look, she crashed out in her shoes, but I don't see any mud or grass on them, do you?
00:13:25Well, we found Phil Baskin were really muddy so they'd be covered.
00:13:29Er, she... she could have cleaned them.
00:13:30On her stage?
00:13:32She managed to climb through a window.
00:13:34Yeah, but...
00:13:34Cut herself to pieces in the process.
00:13:39Gina.
00:13:40Nate Hederson, by any chance?
00:13:43Yeah.
00:13:45Shall we all get some fresh air?
00:13:47Yeah.
00:13:52Phil was a brilliant bloke.
00:13:55Everyone thought he was great.
00:13:57Except you, apparently.
00:13:59I gather you had words with him about your love life, your relationship with Gina.
00:14:04Was that a problem?
00:14:05No.
00:14:06I got that he was doing his job and, to be honest, we just ignored him anyway.
00:14:11So where were you last night?
00:14:12Out of friends.
00:14:14Bit of man Sam's.
00:14:16I was with you one night, wasn't I, Sam?
00:14:19Yeah.
00:14:19Sure.
00:14:20Sam...
00:14:21Langton.
00:14:22Me and Gina had a row.
00:14:23I went to Sam's to let off steam.
00:14:26What was the row about?
00:14:27Usual stuff.
00:14:30I knew she'd come back, and I just couldn't face another slaggy match.
00:14:36And you were here in college all night?
00:14:38You didn't go out?
00:14:39I wish.
00:14:41No money.
00:14:51It's not very good for you, you know.
00:14:55Binge drinking.
00:14:57What are you?
00:14:58My dad.
00:15:00Why did Phil Beskin have your number on his phone?
00:15:04You're not a student.
00:15:05Phil was on my case because he thought I was getting in the way of Nate's coursework.
00:15:10Still doesn't explain why your number was in his phone.
00:15:13Or why he has a pet name for you, Lioness.
00:15:17I know.
00:15:19But he was concerned about me as well as Nate.
00:15:23Why?
00:15:24No particular reason.
00:15:25Just because he was a nice guy.
00:15:33College, Bowman confirms Gina was in there.
00:15:35The porter has squatted her off the premises and run back ten-ish.
00:15:38Bowman at the hopper recalls her there later too.
00:15:41Both of them mention that she'd had a skin fall.
00:15:42Don't judge me, alright?
00:15:45Yeah.
00:15:45Believe me, I'm not.
00:15:48But I am going to need to take your top to establish for definite whose blood that actually is.
00:16:01A college dean didn't immediately strike me as the most obvious person to have a tattoo like that somewhere like
00:16:08there.
00:16:09I don't know.
00:16:11I'd like a man with a tattoo.
00:16:18Is that alchemical?
00:16:21I don't know.
00:16:22Three in one, Holy Trinity?
00:16:24Your department.
00:16:26Are you looking forward to your trip?
00:16:29Imagine, six months with no corpses.
00:16:32Whatever will I do with myself?
00:16:33But you shall have Robert.
00:16:36My family can't wait.
00:16:38They've always wanted to go to South East Asia.
00:16:42Jerk.
00:17:18Thanks for covering.
00:17:19No problem.
00:17:20Anything you, uh, want to tell me?
00:17:22Nothing to say.
00:17:23Very enigmatic.
00:17:24Don't get from you.
00:17:34Hi.
00:17:43I'm so sorry about Phil.
00:17:50What are you doing with this?
00:17:52He told me to read it.
00:17:54Any good?
00:17:57Not for me.
00:18:06Not for me.
00:18:06No, but get from me.
00:18:07Here it is.
00:18:08I'm so sorry about Phil.
00:18:11I just want to clean it up.
00:18:11Just hold it open.
00:18:22I'm so sorry about Phil and Phil.
00:18:24You think you need me to clean my mouth?
00:18:25I don't really want to clean my mouth.
00:18:26It's good stuff.
00:18:26I know.
00:18:26I'm so sorry about Phil singing, but I can't tell you.
00:18:26What?
00:18:26If I'm so sorry about Phil singing.
00:18:31Charles Williams believed in a living, breathing spirituality in which we could all become as Christ.
00:18:37Turn water into wine? Send me a few quid.
00:18:40Stop it, Maddox. No, it's about forgiveness.
00:18:42Because we are like Christ, then we too can forgive all the sins of the world.
00:18:47And interestingly, Phil Beskin claims we've had direct experience of how that works.
00:18:52Interesting, because...
00:18:53Well, because by implication he was guilty of something he needed to be forgiven for.
00:18:57He also had this tattoo in the middle of his chest. I want to know what it means.
00:19:00Does it have to mean anything? Maybe just light the image and put it where he fancied.
00:19:05That's what I did with mine. I'll see you later.
00:19:11Have you ever thought of getting a tattoo?
00:19:13No, I have not.
00:19:15One for the travels, maybe?
00:19:17I'll bet that in mine.
00:19:26Er, a word.
00:19:36T.I. Lewis, do you recognise this by any chance?
00:19:43You sure?
00:19:44It belongs to somebody you know.
00:19:46Phil Beskin.
00:19:47You were at a talk he gave last night.
00:19:49He didn't get his tattoo out.
00:19:51It wasn't that kind of talk.
00:19:52You a Charles Williams fan?
00:19:54Yeah.
00:19:55Not all tattooists are pagans.
00:19:57We gather you had a bit of a Barney with a Wooter Eisler last night.
00:20:02Was Phil Beskin involved with that?
00:20:04Yeah, we all were.
00:20:05There's nothing to write home about. Why?
00:20:06No.
00:20:07Because Phil Beskin was murdered last night.
00:20:10Jay?
00:20:16What are you doing here?
00:20:17My work here.
00:20:25What is it?
00:20:30I've just lost my brother.
00:20:38I think there's something else.
00:20:43You wouldn't understand.
00:20:48Try me.
00:20:50I want to know everything about you.
00:20:57No.
00:20:59Best not.
00:21:07Yeah, that's great.
00:21:08Thanks very much.
00:21:11Seeing one you fancy?
00:21:13No, I'm more of a piercing man myself.
00:21:16So, Nate Edison goes out with Gina Doran, who works in a shop run by one of Phil Beskin's mates.
00:21:21Does that not strike you as a tool of a coincidence?
00:21:24Not necessarily.
00:21:26Small world normal?
00:21:27Says the intrepid traveller.
00:21:29How was uni?
00:21:31Yeah.
00:21:32Dr. Wouter Eisler is part of his History of Religions course.
00:21:36He runs a module saying rationality versus gullibility in comparative religion.
00:21:41And guess what?
00:21:42He covers alchemy.
00:21:49Alchemy.
00:21:50Alchemy.
00:21:52The sacred art.
00:21:55Seemingly torturing nature to extract her secrets.
00:22:00Beautiful, aren't they?
00:22:02Jung considered that alchemical images were unconscious archetypes, keys for unlocking our psyche.
00:22:10Surely they have meaning.
00:22:11Certainly they are profound.
00:22:14Or do they just give the illusion of meaning?
00:22:20You decide, in your essays, one clue.
00:22:26This is Heber, an 8th century Arabic alchemist.
00:22:32From his name we get the word gibberish.
00:22:38Police officers attending lectures?
00:22:41Whatever, aren't they?
00:22:43About a dead body covered in maggots and ravens.
00:22:47Who?
00:22:49Phil.
00:22:50Phil Beskin, that's correct.
00:22:52How do you know?
00:22:54Well...
00:22:56Word spread after his wife notified to college.
00:23:02We understand you had a difference of opinion with Mr. Beskin after his talk last night.
00:23:08Not really.
00:23:09It was a bit of heated debate, that's all.
00:23:13I'm not a great fan of amateurism.
00:23:15To what extent?
00:23:18I'm an academic inspector, not a murderer.
00:23:22I would hope it took something more than intellectual discord to make me a suspect.
00:23:27This was found beside his body, too.
00:23:33Can you think of any connection between alchemy and Charles Williams?
00:23:37There isn't one.
00:23:40It symbolizes negredo, the blackening associated with earth.
00:23:46What about maggots?
00:23:47Decomposition.
00:23:48The body being broken down in readiness for spiritual regeneration.
00:23:54Negredo being the first stage of the great work, the magnum opus.
00:23:59So how many stages are there?
00:24:01Well, it varies, but conventionally four.
00:24:05So this could be just the beginning.
00:24:38You're telling me Phil Beskin's murder might be the first stage in some warped spiritual process that might play out
00:24:46in four stages?
00:24:47Yes, sir.
00:24:49Well, it sounds vague and nebulous to me.
00:24:53Well, this is Oxford, sir.
00:24:55If there's a possibility of further murders, I want to know about them.
00:24:58And I want to deal intangibles.
00:25:02Lizzie.
00:25:03Uh, Gina Doran.
00:25:04The blood on her top was hers and hers alone.
00:25:07Notaries of, uh, Phil Beskin.
00:25:10Anybody else?
00:25:12Nate Hedison.
00:25:13Oh, yes.
00:25:14Had an argument with Phil Beskin about his relationship with a local girl, and we think he lied about his
00:25:18movements last night.
00:25:19He told us he was in college, but he had a stamp of a rope on his wrist as if
00:25:24he'd been to a nightclub.
00:25:25Blue Rhonda.
00:25:26That's their stamp.
00:25:27It's an S&M club.
00:25:29I could give them a call later on, see if anyone, anyone saw him.
00:25:33What about the wife?
00:25:34Still in the frame, obviously, sir.
00:25:39He's got a lot on his plate, that's all.
00:25:46Lot on my plate like what?
00:25:48Like your dad.
00:25:50It's got nothing to do with my dad.
00:25:52I'm not saying it is.
00:25:54And if you don't want to see him, that's fine.
00:25:56You've got nothing to feel guilty about.
00:25:59I don't feel guilty.
00:26:00Good.
00:26:01I'm just trying to explain why you're even more rude than usual.
00:26:07Does this mean anything to you?
00:26:09Chen.
00:26:09It's everywhere.
00:26:22Grace?
00:26:22I thought I told you to leave me alone.
00:26:37No stamina.
00:26:38That's your problem.
00:26:39Saw that argument with Gina.
00:26:40Hark at the bin, man.
00:26:42How was your girlfriend?
00:26:44Fine, thank you.
00:26:56What have I done now?
00:26:58Told us you were with your mate Sam there last night, that the stamp on your wrist is from the
00:27:03blue rondo.
00:27:04And even allowing for student levels of hygiene.
00:27:07I don't think that would have lasted more than one night and a day to you.
00:27:12So, I went clubbing.
00:27:14What time did you leave?
00:27:15You saw me return to my rooms.
00:27:17You saw me return to my rooms.
00:27:17So why lie earlier?
00:27:19Didn't want to say in front of Gina.
00:27:20You weren't in front of Gina.
00:27:22You were talking to me.
00:27:23You might have said something.
00:27:25She doesn't approve.
00:27:27Tell me, what course do you do?
00:27:29PPL.
00:27:31Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics.
00:27:33And where does Alchemy fit here?
00:27:35I have to do a subsidiary and Alchemy's a dos.
00:27:54I wasn't sure would you be here today.
00:27:57There's only so many condolence calls you can take.
00:28:01Anyway, this is where Phil and I did most of our courting.
00:28:04If you could call it that.
00:28:10May I?
00:28:22In his paper, your husband seems to reference a guilt, the need of forgiveness.
00:28:28Does that mean anything to you?
00:28:29Sorry, no.
00:28:30The reason I ask is his sister's references to his issues with boundaries.
00:28:36Did you mention a Gina Doran?
00:28:38He was fond of her.
00:28:41Thought she was a breath of fresh air.
00:28:45If you're asking me if Phil was sleeping with her, I don't think so.
00:28:50His boundaries may have been loose, but his morals weren't.
00:28:54Williams again, you see.
00:28:56And about his tattoo.
00:28:59His what?
00:29:01He had a tattoo in the center of his chest. You're not aware of this?
00:29:05No.
00:29:06We hadn't been intimate in a long time.
00:29:10What is it of?
00:29:13Three angelic, tear-shaped forms within a circle.
00:29:18Does that mean anything to you?
00:29:20Afraid not.
00:29:27Oh, just one other thing.
00:29:29When did you inform the college about your husband?
00:29:32I didn't. I presumed you would.
00:29:36Essays in by Friday, please.
00:29:38At the latest.
00:29:41And no gibberish.
00:29:53Dr. Isser, why are all your books dedicated to somebody called Chen?
00:29:59No reason. It's just an old mentor of mine.
00:30:04That's all?
00:30:05When I asked how you heard about Phil Beskin's death, you said words spread after Grace informed the college.
00:30:12She didn't.
00:30:14And seeing as you say that you're a lecturer and not a murderer, the question remains.
00:30:20Who told you Phil Beskin had been killed?
00:30:25Grace.
00:30:28I bumped into her.
00:30:31Must have slipped my mind.
00:30:33As someone who dislikes amateurism, do salient pieces of information often slip your mind.
00:30:47I'm just finishing up.
00:30:49It's Gina. We were on to talk to her, actually.
00:30:53Your boyfriend lied to us about where he was last night. He was actually at an S&M club. Is
00:30:57that what you're out about?
00:30:58No, I'm cool with it. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
00:31:02Why weren't you with him, then?
00:31:03We're not chained at the hip, you know.
00:31:06Everything all right?
00:31:07Yeah, just giving me grief about Nate.
00:31:10What's he done now?
00:31:12What's he done before?
00:31:14They fight like a cat and dog, those two.
00:31:16We're fine, okay? Well, everyone just back off.
00:31:19There's pictures of you in this.
00:31:22The tattoos on your neck match this picture here. The face is obscured, but it's...
00:31:28Maybe somebody has the same neck tattoos as me.
00:31:32Would you open your shirt for us, please, Mr. Fennell?
00:31:35Come on, you weren't shy posing for the photographs.
00:31:39We could take you down the station and strip-search you, but it seems a bit of a faff, doesn't
00:31:43it?
00:31:58It's a tattoo. An image. What of it?
00:32:01You said earlier you didn't recognise it. You got it right in the middle of your chest.
00:32:06Phil Beskin had the same, and he's dead.
00:32:09I did Phil's, and I thought it was cool.
00:32:12Look, I've got hundreds. I'm a magpie like that.
00:32:15But it's Christian in meaning, right?
00:32:18It's something to do with the Trinity.
00:32:21Is it connected to Charles Williams?
00:32:23I don't know. Is it?
00:32:33You good?
00:32:37Okay.
00:32:39See you there, a bit, yeah.
00:32:56Any developments?
00:32:58Nothing tangible, no, sir.
00:33:10Hey, Nate, are you seeing Gina or clubbing again? It's just if I'm going to cover, I'd rather know.
00:33:16Actually, I've got other plans.
00:33:20Enjoy.
00:33:27Hey, Langton. You ever seen Nate?
00:33:29Faculty cheese and wine.
00:33:31Nice try, Sam. Nice try.
00:33:37Hathaway.
00:33:37Hathaway says Phil Beskin's emails contain a reference to some row he was having with Dax Kinison about publishing something.
00:33:46Also, several references to companions, whoever they are.
00:33:50So, Phil Beskin and Jay Fennell have the same tattoo? You're the resident expert, is he?
00:33:59Well, they could be lovers. That'd explain the secrecy, wouldn't it?
00:34:06Fancy a drink?
00:34:07You're pushing the boat out a bit, aren't you?
00:34:09Well, you know what it's like when the cat's away.
00:34:12I've got me old chemical homework.
00:34:15And Laura's working later. I promise to keep my company.
00:34:18No fun you, are you?
00:34:19Hmm.
00:34:26Mmm?
00:34:31Mmm-hmm.
00:34:34Mmm-hmm.
00:34:41Mmm-hmm.
00:34:56Don't worry. It'll be fine.
00:35:02First day of the rest of your life.
00:35:33First day of the rest of your life.
00:35:42You come to us in a state of sin and contrition, asking that by God's grace and in the name
00:35:48of Jesus Christ, your burden might be lifted from you.
00:35:51I, Dax Kenison, desire to take your sins upon me, to substitute them for love, so that you may be
00:36:00released from your suffering.
00:36:04We offer your transgressions up to Christ for substitution in the hope of blessing and redemption through his grace.
00:36:34James!
00:36:35James!
00:36:45Come on, we've got to go.
00:36:47I'm going to catch you up. I've got to do some work.
00:36:50Dad's expecting us.
00:36:52Is he?
00:37:09Yeah, James.
00:37:10I know what the tattoo is. Charles Williams set up a mystical order called the Companions of Co-Inherence.
00:37:15What, it's a secret society that dabbled in alchemy?
00:37:19No, it has nothing to do with alchemy, but the tattoo was their symbol.
00:37:23Now, the order only existed for a few years, but what if Phil Beskin, Jay Fennell and Dax Kenison and
00:37:31others revived it?
00:37:33I mean, it would make sense if the Companions mentioned in the emails between Beskin and Kenison.
00:37:39Any link to Beskin's death?
00:37:42Don't know.
00:37:44How's the great work coming along?
00:37:46Oh, darn ask.
00:37:48Listen to this. The second stage is known as al-bardo, al-ba-do, the whitening, or sometimes washing, associated
00:37:57with the moon and the female.
00:38:01Does that mean next victim to a woman?
00:38:13Marina, want a drink?
00:38:14Hey.
00:38:16No, thanks.
00:38:26No, Dax?
00:38:28No, he's working.
00:38:32We're celebrating.
00:38:34Oh, my God.
00:38:38You did it, didn't you?
00:38:39It works, Karina.
00:38:42You have to do it.
00:39:10Izzy, come in.
00:39:12Seeing as no-one wanted to play out with me, I thought I'd do a bit of homework too.
00:39:17Well, I phoned a blue rondo.
00:39:19Turns out Nate Hedison is lying to us again.
00:39:22He said he was there until dawn, but it was early closing.
00:39:27Do you fancy a drink?
00:39:46Please leave your message after the turn.
00:39:49Sorry, I'd like to, but I just can't make tonight.
00:40:07I thought you said your man was away.
00:40:09No, this isn't Tony.
00:40:11This is James.
00:40:12He's a colleague.
00:40:13We're actually here for work.
00:40:15Yeah, he's in all the time.
00:40:16Is he in tonight?
00:40:17Might be.
00:40:18I've only just got on.
00:40:19He was in last night.
00:40:20I want to know what time he left.
00:40:21It's called Nate Hedison.
00:40:23Maybe he had a bar tab?
00:40:25I'll take a look.
00:40:30You know I'm not actually a regular...
00:40:34Paid with a credit card last night at 11.56.
00:40:49If he left at midnight with his girlfriend's phone then...
00:40:52Well then he would have had time to text Phil Beskin and get himself over to Boreshill.
00:41:01You watch out Frank, I'll stay here.
00:41:20Do you want a lift?
00:41:21No way.
00:41:23It's a beautiful night in all respects.
00:41:26I'll walk.
00:41:30I'll walk.
00:41:30I'll walk.
00:41:56Is he out there?
00:42:00Maddox?
00:42:04What is he doing?
00:42:26I'll walk.
00:42:29Oh, my God.
00:43:14Oh, my God.
00:43:27Oh, my God.
00:43:31Oh, my God.
00:43:34Oh, my God.
00:43:41Oh, my God.
00:43:43Washing.
00:43:44Whitening.
00:43:46Two down.
00:43:49Two to go.
00:43:57One to go.
00:43:58One to go.
00:44:14One to go.
00:44:18One to go.
00:44:27One to go.
00:44:37One to go.
00:44:40One to go.
00:45:05One to go.
00:45:12One to go.
00:45:12One to go.
00:45:13One to go.
00:45:14One to go.
00:45:15One to go.
00:45:17One to go.
00:45:58Victim Annapurna Kinison is a linguistics lecturer just waiting to speak to her head of department.
00:46:03Check out her movements yesterday.
00:46:05Her husband's already said she went for a drink at the Waterman's with Jay Fennell.
00:46:10Okay, let's set up a search along the riverbank between here and there.
00:46:13Okay.
00:46:58Both of us were out in the open, theatrically staged.
00:47:02Staging may be sophisticated, but the manner isn't.
00:47:05Phil Beskin battled over the head with a rock.
00:47:08Annapurna Kinison strangled.
00:47:10Crude, angry act.
00:47:12Is this somebody on a moral crusade who thinks Annapurna Kinison needed to be purified?
00:47:19If so, why?
00:47:20What had she done?
00:47:21What had Phil Beskin done?
00:47:22Well, in terms of the great work we've had Negrado and Albedo.
00:47:27Yeah, the third stage is the trinitas.
00:47:30Associated with the male gender, the sun and yellow, if that's any help.
00:47:36Very nice.
00:47:37I gather one of our key suspects in this case is a student, Nate Hedison.
00:47:40You were keeping tabs on him, I believe.
00:47:42Yes, and I lost him, sir.
00:47:43But, to be fair, we don't know if there's any link between Nate Hedison and Annapurna Kinison.
00:47:50Actually, we do.
00:47:52According to Lizzie, Mrs. Kinison's head of department just called to confirm Hedison as
00:47:55one of her students.
00:47:57Tushy kicked him off the course a few days ago.
00:48:00Just find him.
00:48:05Never mind, Moody.
00:48:06Listen to me.
00:48:07Get yourself home.
00:48:08Get cleaned up.
00:48:09No, I need to speak to Hedison.
00:48:10Why don't do that with Maddox?
00:48:12Get home.
00:48:13Have a shower.
00:48:14You're in a right state.
00:48:15And you're starting to stink.
00:48:26Hey, Nell.
00:48:27How could you do that?
00:48:29We waited for ages.
00:48:31I hate that place.
00:48:32He was waiting for us.
00:48:33For you.
00:48:34He was waiting for you.
00:48:47Not exactly the white piece of academic endeavor in here, is it, lad?
00:48:53What do you want?
00:48:55Well, you can start by telling us why you got booted off your linguistics course.
00:49:00You're the detective.
00:49:04Too much like hard work, and the tutor did my head in.
00:49:07Yeah, Mrs. Kinison, I believe.
00:49:10Were you angry that she kicked you off?
00:49:13I've never been happier.
00:49:14Yeah.
00:49:15Hanging out at the Blue Rondo two nights in a row can't help your studies.
00:49:18Last night you arrived at 10.45.
00:49:21You've been following me or something?
00:49:22Two nights ago, you settled your bill just before midnight and then you left.
00:49:26Whereas you told us you were there all night.
00:49:29What time did you leave last night?
00:49:31He left about 1.30.
00:49:36With me.
00:49:39Can anyone vouch for your being there?
00:49:44This help?
00:50:31Let me see.
00:50:38I'm not here, Sam.
00:50:40Someone might see.
00:50:48You shouldn't have to do this.
00:50:50You barely know me, Sam.
00:50:52I mean, I'm working on it.
00:50:53I wouldn't if I were you.
00:50:56Now go on.
00:50:57Get lost.
00:51:11Someone looks happy.
00:51:12Yep.
00:51:13I need a favour, though.
00:51:14Can I take half a day?
00:51:15Nate's taking me punting, don't you know?
00:51:20I hope you know what you're doing.
00:51:22I do.
00:51:23Are you made up?
00:51:25Oh, can I?
00:51:26Please.
00:51:28You can get us a brew first, Skyver.
00:51:30Come on.
00:51:41I'm done.
00:51:44Mr. Kinison?
00:51:46Wilson!
00:51:57Robert!
00:52:11Blood.
00:52:23The blood is from a fishing trip. I caught my arm on a fish hook.
00:52:30We'll need to get forensics to check. Where were you last night, Mr. Kinison?
00:52:35Here all evening. Your wife had a tattoo. As did Phil Beskin, as does Jay Fennell. Do you?
00:52:42Am I right in saying it's the symbol of a mystical order created by Charles Williams called the Companions of
00:52:47the Co-Inherence?
00:52:49Have you revived the order?
00:52:53We're gonna need a list of the members. We think you might all be being targeted. You're in danger.
00:53:04Okay. There's about a dozen of us. We vowed not to talk about it.
00:53:09Can you think of someone who might have opposed the revival? Someone who was thrown out? Rejected?
00:53:16You argued with Phil Beskin. Why?
00:53:18I'm publishing some rare writings of Williams. Phil didn't think I should. It's no big deal.
00:53:23And Karina Beskin, is she a member of your group? Does she have the tattoo?
00:53:29No. No, Karina's not interested.
00:53:35We know that Dax Kinison had a spat with Phil Beskin. He just found blood in his boat, obviously, whatever
00:53:41he says about it.
00:53:42Why kill his wife? We may have had the means, but no motive that we know of.
00:53:47And what is the motive for targeting a bunch of seemingly spiritual people?
00:53:50Even spiritual people get messed up sometimes, don't they? They've all got secrets. Skeletons. We should be delving into their
00:53:59past.
00:54:00What about Ruta Reiser? He's not a fan of Williams. He's also got the alchemy link.
00:54:06Yeah, that's a good point. He's definitely hiding something. He dedicates all his books to someone called Chen.
00:54:11Actually, Maddox, do you mind doing a name check on Chen for me?
00:54:14Yep.
00:54:18A word.
00:54:30I asked Hathaway for a full report on the investigation on my desk this morning.
00:54:34Sir.
00:54:36Two words. Investigation ongoing.
00:54:39He was never great at paperwork.
00:54:44Hello, yes. Um, Carina Beskin. I had a couple of questions.
00:54:49He has a problem with authority and a blatant disregard for status.
00:54:52As do all good detectives. I learned that from the best.
00:54:57And this is eight years ago.
00:55:00No, no, you've been very helpful, thank you.
00:55:04I had hoped that your presence might help. Part of your remake, you know, like a father figure.
00:55:12A father figure? With all due respect, I'm a detective. I'm not a nanny.
00:55:17Anyway, I'm gonna be away for six months soon.
00:55:20How do you think Hathaway's gonna cope in your absence?
00:55:22You'll be fine.
00:55:23You better be. Or I'm gonna have to bring someone else in.
00:55:26What do you mean, someone else?
00:55:28I don't know.
00:55:29I don't know.
00:55:30But sounds can shift, can't they?
00:55:40He's all right.
00:55:43He's all right.
00:55:44He's all right.
00:55:51Sorry to have to inform you that Annapurna Kinison was found murdered this morning.
00:55:57What?
00:55:58An alchemic symbol was found with her body. Do you know anything about that?
00:56:06No.
00:56:07You see, I checked with your college. Yes, you're a scout. But you also studied here.
00:56:15Double firsts in theology, PhD, fellowship, and then eight years ago it all just unravels.
00:56:19And now you need to tell me why.
00:56:23I... I had a crisis.
00:56:27A faith. It happens.
00:56:31Is that why you're not in your friends group?
00:56:41No.
00:56:42Do you know of any reason why anyone would want to harm Annapurna Kinison and your brother?
00:56:48No.
00:56:49Do you know of any disagreement between your brother and Dax Kinison about some unpublished Williams writings?
00:56:54Tell me now.
00:56:55It wasn't writings. They...
00:56:58They fell out over a ritual.
00:57:02A ritual.
00:57:36What happened? I've just seen Mr. Kinison?
00:57:39Trey got knocked over, that's all.
00:57:40No big deal.
00:57:42He's upset about Annapurna. We all are.
00:57:48Why did he want to see you? Is he scared? Because he's a potential target, is that it?
00:57:53Because we can protect you if it is.
00:57:55No, no. I don't want that.
00:57:58He just wanted to check that Annapurna was okay last night.
00:58:02And was she?
00:58:03More than. She was really happy.
00:58:05The two of you went back a long way, I gather.
00:58:07Before Dax.
00:58:09We have a shared interest in Charles Williams.
00:58:12Karina started an informal group and we all attended.
00:58:15So Karina was into Charles Williams but isn't anymore, is that right?
00:58:20Yeah.
00:58:23Does this mean anything to you?
00:58:26I don't know anything about alchemical images.
00:58:28I didn't say it was alchemical.
00:58:31I've seen enough to recognize the style.
00:58:35Are you okay, Mr. Funnel?
00:58:37I'm fine. I'm just upset.
00:58:45Something happened to Karina Beskin eight years ago.
00:58:48She goes from being postgraduate prodigy to cleaner and girlfriend of bin man Sam.
00:58:53Sam Langton? Bin man?
00:58:56Well, it's room cleaning etiquette, same as at Cambridge.
00:58:58You leave your bin out if you don't want the cleaner to come in.
00:59:01No bin out, cleaner comes in.
00:59:02Never leave your bin out.
00:59:03Cleaner comes in a lot, concerning the nickname bin man.
00:59:06Maybe he's just tidy.
00:59:16I'll try harder with Moody.
00:59:19I didn't ask you to.
00:59:25All set for the grand tour.
00:59:28Counting down the days, aren't we?
00:59:32Absolutely.
00:59:34Anna Pernikinison.
00:59:36Autopsy confirms there was no water in her lungs.
00:59:38Added to which the absence of diatoms in her blood indicates she was dead before she entered the water.
00:59:44Edward?
00:59:45Deep traces of varnish, consistent with taking a whack in the rowing boat.
00:59:50But she was strangled before she was put into the boat.
00:59:52Maneuvering, of course, is never easy.
00:59:54Bang.
01:00:02Hi there.
01:00:09Forensics got back about Dax Kinison's boat. The blood they found was his and his alone.
01:00:14And how about the Riverside Search?
01:00:16Yeah, do you know anything they can?
01:00:18I will go and chase them up.
01:00:19A wu to Isla's dedication to Chen.
01:00:21It's a common Chinese surname, or a Hebrew word, meaning grace.
01:00:27As in Phil Beskin's wife?
01:00:29Yeah, I think he dedicates his books to her.
01:00:31Okay, will you speak to both of them?
01:00:36Want to see a leaflet?
01:00:39My dad needed some help, so I gave it to him. I said, call the number, speak to the person
01:00:43on the other end of the line.
01:00:45Someone I knew once.
01:00:46Did he?
01:00:47No, but he kept this, funnily enough.
01:00:51How is your dad?
01:00:52Yeah, he's fine, thanks.
01:00:53And your sister?
01:00:54Oh, no.
01:01:07Okay, if I go?
01:01:09Of course.
01:01:10Gina.
01:01:12Be careful, yeah?
01:01:37Jay?
01:01:39I need to talk to you.
01:01:41No, I can't right now.
01:01:44A police?
01:01:45No.
01:01:46Wait, okay, let's, let's meet.
01:01:50Sorry, I've got to go.
01:01:53Bye.
01:02:02Dr. Eisler, why have you dedicated all your books to another man's wife? Grace Beskin?
01:02:10Grace? No, don't be ridiculous.
01:02:13I'll just go and ask her then, shall I?
01:02:18Okay, why should I be ashamed? I fell for Grace some years ago. Sadly, it's not a feeling that's reciprocated,
01:02:26but I live in hope.
01:02:28Are you having an affair with her?
01:02:29If only, Grace won't countenance such a thing.
01:02:33Oh, maybe those chances are being approved in light of Phil Beskin's death.
01:02:39Seemingly not.
01:02:41How well do you get on with Annapurna Kinison?
01:02:44We're not close.
01:02:46Why?
01:02:58First Phil, then Annapurna.
01:03:00Honey.
01:03:02Two down.
01:03:03Two to go.
01:03:04If it's connected.
01:03:05Of course it's connected.
01:03:07Once as a coincidence, twice as a vendetta.
01:03:09Who by?
01:03:10We're the only ones who know what happened.
01:03:12Oh.
01:03:13Which means it's either me, or you.
01:03:41Please don't tell me.
01:03:56Please don't.
01:03:57I'll place a couple more miles away from the hospital.
01:03:58Let's go.
01:03:58caves, you can't?
01:04:03I'm at a moment.
01:04:05I didn't get some kind of conditions again.
01:04:05I didn't want to use a dealer.
01:04:05What if it's nothing?
01:04:06I didn't want to get there.
01:04:06It was a mess, too.
01:04:06It went to sleep, too.
01:04:30Police, please.
01:04:39I might not have been having sex within my marriage, but that doesn't mean it's okay
01:04:42to have sex with someone else.
01:04:44But you do have feelings for Dr. Eisler.
01:04:47Yes.
01:04:49Although, since Phil died, they're mainly feelings of guilt.
01:04:53Given his feelings for you, do you think his frustrations could drive him to other
01:04:59extremes?
01:05:01Please, God, I hope not.
01:05:03Oh, that's great.
01:05:04If he wants to talk.
01:05:06Yeah, tell Mr. Fennell, D.I. Hathaway, and I'll be right over.
01:05:37Yeah.
01:05:38Robert.
01:05:39I'll go by.
01:05:40Yeah.
01:06:08I'll go by.
01:06:29All right?
01:06:46Find out who owns the boat.
01:06:48Where had you been?
01:06:51Uh, to meet Nate.
01:06:54We were meant to go punting, but he didn't turn up.
01:06:56So Nate knew that you weren't in the shop.
01:06:59Where is he now?
01:07:02Gina, Jay wanted to say something to us.
01:07:04Do you know what it might have been?
01:07:06I mean, early when Mr. Kinison kicked off, what was that really about?
01:07:11Um, he said his wife had been killed and he wanted to know what happened.
01:07:19Happened when?
01:07:21Um, Jay wouldn't say, ages ago.
01:07:26And Mr. Kinison flipped out shouting he was carrying his wife's guilt.
01:07:31And he wanted Jay to tell him why.
01:07:39Signed of a struggle.
01:07:41No quote or image this time.
01:07:43Much messier.
01:07:46It's interesting what she says about guilt.
01:07:48Williams was into a process called substitution,
01:07:51where you've taken other people's burdens,
01:07:52transferring them literally onto yourself.
01:07:54How do you do that?
01:07:56Rituals.
01:08:00What did you mean when you were carrying your wife's guilt?
01:08:04Her guilt for what?
01:08:06I don't know.
01:08:07Come on, it's about the ritualism,
01:08:08alleviating people of their burdens.
01:08:11Anna was haunted by guilt for something that happened in her past before I met her.
01:08:14I relieved her from that.
01:08:17From what, though?
01:08:18What happened?
01:08:20I have no idea.
01:08:22Did you ask?
01:08:23A thousand times.
01:08:24Well, this event from her past,
01:08:26did it also involve Phil Beskin and Jay Fennell?
01:08:30Yes, but it's their secret.
01:08:32And what happened to Karina Beskin eight years ago is her secret.
01:08:35What does it have to do with alchemy?
01:08:39I have no idea.
01:08:42Mr. Kinison, may I see the ritual, please?
01:08:47Might be relevant.
01:08:51Any word on that boat or Nate Hedison's whereabouts yet?
01:08:58OK, Lizzie, listen.
01:09:00Take uniform, see if you can find Sam Langton.
01:09:03He might know when Nate is.
01:09:07Nah, well, Hathaway's just getting some religious uplift.
01:09:12Did the entire group perform the ritual?
01:09:15Not Jay.
01:09:17Phil a while ago,
01:09:19and Anna,
01:09:20yesterday.
01:09:32Where have you been?
01:09:33I've been worried.
01:09:34Oh, uh,
01:09:35I just got caught up.
01:09:38Jay's dead.
01:09:39Jay?
01:09:40Somebody killed him.
01:09:43What's that?
01:09:44Nothing.
01:09:45It can wait.
01:09:53You're breaking up with me?
01:09:55Sorry.
01:09:57We're not going to work.
01:09:59No, we said we'd try.
01:10:01There's someone else.
01:10:02At the club.
01:10:04Mr. Hedison,
01:10:05we need to talk to you.
01:10:10Interesting.
01:10:11That was promised relevant.
01:10:14Phil had done the ritual,
01:10:15Anna Purna had done the ritual,
01:10:17and as a result,
01:10:17both of them were forgiven.
01:10:19This is about forgiveness.
01:10:21It's got nothing to do with alchemy.
01:10:23So,
01:10:24somebody wasn't happy
01:10:25about them being forgiven.
01:10:27What about Jay Fennel?
01:10:30Has he done this ritual thing?
01:10:32Apparently not.
01:10:35Can you let them know?
01:10:38Where were you this afternoon
01:10:39between one and three?
01:10:41Trying to pluck up the courage
01:10:42to do what I've just done.
01:10:43Hmm,
01:10:44with a new girlfriend,
01:10:45more like.
01:10:46Ah,
01:10:46when I said I was at the club with him,
01:10:48I wasn't.
01:10:49I went there,
01:10:50but I couldn't find him.
01:10:57Yeah.
01:10:59Yeah.
01:11:04May Addison's alibi's just fallen through.
01:11:06Gina Dornan was lying for him.
01:11:07Back in the frame.
01:11:09As is Carina Beskin.
01:11:11I just spoke to Forensic.
01:11:12They found muddy boot prints in that boat,
01:11:15mud thick with limestone.
01:11:17Which is important.
01:11:18Why?
01:11:19Oxford's built on clay.
01:11:20You have to go right out
01:11:21almost to Burford
01:11:22to find the limestone stuff.
01:11:24Also,
01:11:25tissue fibres
01:11:26from the head wound match,
01:11:28so
01:11:28Annapurna Kinison
01:11:29was definitely in that boat.
01:11:31Both boats registered
01:11:32to fill Beskin.
01:11:34What do you think
01:11:34in Grace Beskin?
01:11:35She says she and her husband
01:11:37hardly use them,
01:11:38but Carina does.
01:11:39She used to row
01:11:39for the university.
01:11:45I row every morning.
01:11:48It helps to burn off
01:11:49some of my attention.
01:11:52What is it?
01:11:56Jay?
01:11:59We know about the ritual
01:12:00and we know what it does.
01:12:05What we don't know
01:12:06is what happened
01:12:07eight years ago
01:12:09between you
01:12:09and your brother
01:12:10and Mrs. Kinison
01:12:11and Jay Fennell.
01:12:13All of whom are now dead.
01:12:15Which means
01:12:16either you're guilty
01:12:17of multiple murder
01:12:18or you're in real danger.
01:12:24Why didn't Jay
01:12:25do the ritual?
01:12:28Because
01:12:29he just
01:12:31didn't feel the need to.
01:12:34There are many ways
01:12:35of forgiving yourself.
01:12:36Belief?
01:12:37Simple faith?
01:12:39Hmm.
01:12:40Jay felt those things
01:12:42more than the rest of us.
01:12:45My brother and Annapurna
01:12:47needed something else.
01:12:48something more.
01:12:51What about you?
01:12:53I don't think
01:12:54you can magic
01:12:55those things away.
01:12:57We just want to find out
01:12:58who killed your friends
01:12:59before something else happens.
01:13:03You could be next.
01:13:06If that's what it takes.
01:13:11I'm processing
01:13:12full background checks
01:13:13on all the victims
01:13:14but eight years ago
01:13:16it's going to take a while.
01:13:17OK, I'll catch up with you.
01:13:19I'll see you there.
01:13:20I'll see you there.
01:13:40Hello.
01:13:43Hello.
01:13:43Hi, it's James.
01:13:46Can I come and see you, Father?
01:13:52Cause of death, stab wound to the chest.
01:13:56Yellow thrown on him afterwards.
01:13:59To symbolize the coming of enlightenment and to mirror the sun, apparently.
01:14:05Japanese Yakuza needle inserted beneath the ziphoid process
01:14:09at the base of the sternum straight into the heart.
01:14:11Her death wouldn't have been immediate.
01:14:14The needle's being forced straight through the center of the tattoo.
01:14:19Somebody is not a fan.
01:14:23Dr. Isha, Grace Beskin?
01:14:25There's one more stage.
01:14:27Rubedo.
01:14:29Meaning completion, redness.
01:14:32And blood.
01:14:34Great.
01:14:42Yeah.
01:15:10For a while since we've seen you…
01:15:11…
01:15:1317 years. I would have thought you would have given up in that time, Placid.
01:15:17Ditto. Still running?
01:15:22Oh, you know, funny thing, Faith, isn't it?
01:15:27Actually, I meant still running.
01:15:29Oh, um, no. I, uh, I'd say I'm rowing at Cambridge.
01:15:35You were good at cross-country.
01:15:36That's probably down to all those extra morning runs you sent me on as punishments.
01:15:41There is that.
01:15:44So you became a policeman.
01:15:46For my siblings.
01:15:48Yeah, a very good one, I gather.
01:15:50Oxfordshire police.
01:15:52And a detective inspector, now I hear.
01:15:56All that discipline, you see.
01:15:59What do you mean you hear?
01:16:02Your father told me.
01:16:05How is he?
01:16:07Why are you talking to my father?
01:16:09You told him to come and see me.
01:16:12Yeah, years ago.
01:16:13Indeed it was.
01:16:15He kept coming.
01:16:16More after your mother died.
01:16:19What for?
01:16:21That's between me and him, really.
01:16:29Dad's, um, not well.
01:16:32That's it.
01:16:32He's, um...
01:16:34Losing his mind.
01:16:38I, um...
01:16:41He came to talk about you.
01:16:43How he felt bad about being a distant parent.
01:16:46That it was too late to turn back the clock.
01:16:49How he wished you and Nell saw more of each other.
01:16:59I can't believe he came.
01:17:04Come and have some breakfast.
01:17:08Stay for our conference.
01:17:10You'll like it.
01:17:11A series of lectures about Giordano Bruno.
01:17:14Hero or heretic?
01:17:17Hero.
01:17:18Surely.
01:17:24What sort of conference is it?
01:17:25An esoteric conference.
01:17:27A joint venture with another spiritual group.
01:17:29We provide the theology.
01:17:31They bring the mystery traditions.
01:17:36Do you have a computer and Wi-Fi here?
01:17:38We're monks, James.
01:17:39Not cavemen.
01:17:41Come on.
01:17:50Yeah?
01:17:50There was a conference in the Tickenham area near Bristol eight years ago.
01:17:54Check with local pod for any incidents reported around November time.
01:18:08I figured the link.
01:18:10Alchemy is an esoteric tradition.
01:18:12Williams believed in an esoteric form of Christianity.
01:18:15There are conferences on this stuff.
01:18:17This one, about a Christian mystic called A.E. Waite.
01:18:20He influenced Williams and he wrote on alchemy.
01:18:22Two talks, guess who was at them?
01:18:25Phil Besky.
01:18:27Annapurna Kinison.
01:18:28Here we go.
01:18:31Fatality recorded a car accident.
01:18:34Francis Fisher was knocked over and all of our four were in the car.
01:18:38Right, was there a police investigation?
01:18:39Yeah, and an inquest.
01:18:41The coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death because they weren't charged with it.
01:18:45There was nothing on the system.
01:18:46Someone disagreed with the verdict.
01:18:48Okay, so let's do a check on Fisher, find out if he was married, where he lives and if he
01:18:51had any children.
01:18:51Under occupation, it says he was a practicing alchemist.
01:19:12What were you saying?
01:19:13He was very sad you'd be here.
01:19:15Good.
01:19:15You know about Francis, Fisher.
01:19:19No.
01:19:20No.
01:19:21No.
01:19:23No.
01:19:23No, no.
01:19:25So, no.
01:19:25feel so guilty why do you think because they got it wrong according to the inquest your brother
01:19:35was driving a car late no no i was i was drunk we'd spent an evening in the pub when
01:19:48i reached the
01:19:49grounds uh i turned the headlights off we'd been warned not to stay out late and i was trying to

01:24:46Dad used to love it out here.
01:24:48Hour after hour, practicing his alchemy.
01:24:52Is this really what your dad would have wanted?
01:24:54I'll never know.
01:25:00You lived all alone here ever since, what, you were 13?
01:25:06I lived with my brother until a couple of years back.
01:25:08So he took his anger elsewhere.
01:25:11Say sorry to Gina.
01:25:12Here's a phone.
01:25:14Who are you hoping to kill with that?
01:25:16Karina?
01:25:17She is nothing like the others.
01:25:19Because she can't forgive herself?
01:25:20Yes.
01:25:20It's not for them to decide when they're forgiven.
01:25:23Yeah, but it's not for you either.
01:25:25This isn't a spiritual process.
01:25:27This is about you playing judge and jury.
01:25:29No, there has to be justice.
01:25:31So what's the plan if Karina's to live?
01:25:35Then it's finished.
01:25:37I complete the fourth stage.
01:25:38No, no, just wait.
01:25:39Karina!
01:25:39Wait.
01:25:40Please.
01:25:41Think about it.
01:25:42It isn't over, Sam.
01:25:45You see, she's never going to let herself off the hook, but you can.
01:25:48If you truly love her, you can release her.
01:25:54I forgive you.
01:25:56You forgive me for what?
01:26:00For killing my father.
01:26:02For killing my father.
