00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:13,810
Ripley! Come!
2
00:01:15,250 --> 00:01:17,170
Ripley? Come on, Ripley.
3
00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:31,650
(CAWING)
4
00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:25,290
DCI Barnaby.
Am I right?
5
00:02:25,790 --> 00:02:27,190
John.
6
00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:30,990
And you are Kate Wilding.
7
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:34,630
Oh.
Ah. Doctor, professor?
8
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:37,350
Both, as it happens. Kate will do.
9
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:39,430
Welcome to Midsomer.
10
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:41,990
Some welcome.
DS Jones. Ben.
11
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:44,990
It's pretty gruesome.
I've got a strong stomach.
12
00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:48,350
Unlike the victim, who lacks one
entirely. He's been disembowelled.
13
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:53,350
So, was that the cause of death?
Not necessarily.
14
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:55,470
He has a head injury which looks
enough to kill him.
15
00:02:56,670 --> 00:03:00,190
So he was already dead before
he had his guts... Let's hope so.
16
00:03:01,950 --> 00:03:04,710
Time of death? Early this morning,
midnight to one o'clock
17
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:06,710
would be as good a guess as any.
18
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:08,670
So, before sunrise.
19
00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:13,510
Blood sacrifice. That would be
pretty exotic, wouldn't it?
20
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:17,510
Should I assume his assailant was a man?
21
00:03:17,510 --> 00:03:20,590
Well, it's a hard job
opening a body up like this.
22
00:03:20,590 --> 00:03:23,630
On the other hand, I'm a woman,
and it's all in a day's work for me.
23
00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:29,270
Ben. Trevor.
24
00:03:30,990 --> 00:03:35,270
I heard you were first on the scene. Except
for the man who found him. Evan Jago.
25
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:37,230
Local poacher.
26
00:03:37,230 --> 00:03:40,350
He's done some time for breaking
and entering. He got out
27
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:43,150
a couple of months ago.
He's still on weekly report.
28
00:03:43,150 --> 00:03:47,590
So, a suspect. Well, everyone's a
suspect. Isn't that what we used to say?
29
00:03:47,590 --> 00:03:51,150
It's good to see you.
Sir. Sergeant Trevor Gibson.
30
00:03:51,150 --> 00:03:54,670
He was desk sergeant at Causton.
We were in the gun team.
31
00:03:54,670 --> 00:03:56,590
Clay pigeon. Ah.
32
00:03:56,590 --> 00:03:59,070
Oh, erm...
33
00:03:59,070 --> 00:04:02,310
I found this at the scene, sir.
A woman's brooch.
34
00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:03,990
Perhaps.
35
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:12,790
Do you know who he is?
Alex Preston. This is his land.
36
00:04:12,790 --> 00:04:16,230
Crowcall Farm. Can you think of
anyone who might've wanted to harm him?
37
00:04:16,230 --> 00:04:19,310
Oh, yeah. Definitely.
38
00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:22,190
Stone...and stars...
39
00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:25,870
..and the sleeper under the hill.
40
00:04:25,870 --> 00:04:28,310
Leticia Clifford and Ezra Canning.
41
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:31,790
Now, they're both high priests
of the New Dawn Druids.
42
00:04:31,790 --> 00:04:34,270
And Crowcall Circle...
that's holy ground to them.
43
00:04:35,470 --> 00:04:38,910
And Preston intended to plough
the meadow. He's new to farming.
44
00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:43,270
He's keen on modern methods. That sort
of thing doesn't go down well round here.
45
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:45,590
Surely the circle is protected.
46
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:48,990
Yeah. But he wasn't gonna uproot the
stones. It's an ancient monument.
47
00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:53,070
But a field of rape and a barbed wire fence
all around would've made it inaccessible.
48
00:04:53,070 --> 00:04:57,110
And the druids opposed this. Ezra Canning's
been cautioned for issuing threats.
49
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:59,350
But...well, Preston had
the law on his side.
50
00:04:59,350 --> 00:05:01,430
Was Preston married?
51
00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:03,830
Eleanor Preston.
52
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:06,070
Not your typical farmer's
wife, either.
53
00:05:07,550 --> 00:05:09,910
Had it occurred to anyone
that she ought to be told?
54
00:05:18,670 --> 00:05:20,550
(DOORBELL)
55
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:29,950
Look.
56
00:05:42,030 --> 00:05:44,990
We need to get Kate Wilding to
the scene, take some samples.
57
00:05:44,990 --> 00:05:47,670
OK. I'll give her a call.
Well, no, erm...
58
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:49,790
Kick the door in first.
59
00:06:03,390 --> 00:06:05,550
It was open. I noticed.
60
00:06:05,550 --> 00:06:07,430
You look through there.
61
00:06:34,190 --> 00:06:36,110
Hi, Kate. It's Ben Jones.
62
00:06:38,110 --> 00:06:40,030
Can you get up to the farmhouse,
please?
63
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,830
(TEXT ALERT)
64
00:07:08,030 --> 00:07:11,150
So he was killed here,
then taken to Crowcall Circle.
65
00:07:11,150 --> 00:07:13,510
How did he get there? And
where's Eleanor Preston?
66
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:15,670
This could be her blood too.
67
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:18,430
What's that? Oh...I found it
on the kitchen table.
68
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:23,470
It's a woman's phone.
69
00:07:24,630 --> 00:07:26,910
Hairdresser, manicurist,
yoga teacher.
70
00:07:28,510 --> 00:07:30,430
Men do yoga.
71
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:35,870
We need to find Eleanor Preston.
72
00:07:35,870 --> 00:07:39,350
Get a list of recent calls
from the service provider.
73
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:41,350
Wait for Kate Wilding,
show her the blood,
74
00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:44,190
and see if you can get any more
local gossip out of Sgt Gibson.
75
00:07:44,190 --> 00:07:46,350
Where will you be?
Looking for druids.
76
00:07:46,350 --> 00:07:49,710
Oh, that's easy. They'll be wearing
sheets and talking gibberish (!)
77
00:08:00,390 --> 00:08:02,190
Trev.
78
00:08:06,910 --> 00:08:08,830
Mr Canning?
79
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:12,110
We're used to being made fun
of, Mr Barnaby.
80
00:08:13,230 --> 00:08:15,110
Anything spiritual.
81
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:17,230
We live in a materialistic world.
82
00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:21,430
Did you threaten Alex Preston?
83
00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:23,550
Physical violence is alien to us.
84
00:08:23,550 --> 00:08:25,790
What did you say?
85
00:08:25,790 --> 00:08:30,350
I told him he was compromising his life
force by denying access to the stones.
86
00:08:33,150 --> 00:08:35,270
You say he was found there
in the circle.
87
00:08:35,270 --> 00:08:38,030
His body was on the central stone.
88
00:08:38,030 --> 00:08:39,950
The blood stone.
89
00:08:41,150 --> 00:08:43,670
Is that what it's called?
Only by the ignorant.
90
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:46,270
People love the idea of sacrifice.
91
00:08:46,270 --> 00:08:48,510
Ritual blood-letting, so forth.
92
00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:50,630
It's all nonsense.
93
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:55,710
The circle is sacred
to the old gods, yep.
94
00:08:58,790 --> 00:09:01,710
Where were you between midnight
and one o'clock, Mr Canning?
95
00:09:01,710 --> 00:09:03,710
Well...
96
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:06,030
Up until midnight...
97
00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:08,110
maybe a bit after,
98
00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:11,350
I was with Leticia Clifford.
She's a... A believer.
99
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:14,110
Like you.
100
00:09:14,110 --> 00:09:16,470
We were going over
local deeds and charters.
101
00:09:17,950 --> 00:09:20,670
It's a last ditch attempt
to stop Preston ploughing.
102
00:09:20,670 --> 00:09:23,790
Any luck? Depends what you mean.
103
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:30,070
Look. I'm sorry he's dead.
104
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,590
I'm sorry about
the manner of his death.
105
00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:35,310
But if it means Gorse Meadow
won't be ploughed,
106
00:09:35,310 --> 00:09:37,990
well, I'd be lying if I told you
I was sorry about that.
107
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:42,750
(WIND CHIMES TINKLING)
108
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:44,990
Sorry he's dead, of course.
109
00:09:46,230 --> 00:09:50,510
I imagine there's already talk of ritual
druid sacrifice and other such nonsense.
110
00:09:53,070 --> 00:09:55,790
You were at odds with Ale
- He fenced the meadow,
111
00:09:55,790 --> 00:09:58,910
knowing we were preparing
for a blood stone ceremony.
112
00:09:58,910 --> 00:10:01,310
Did it quite deliberately,
of course.
113
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:03,430
The blood stone.
114
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:06,710
What's the signi- Nothing to do
with blood-letting, Mr Barnaby.
115
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:09,310
Reference to the spring equinox.
116
00:10:09,310 --> 00:10:11,310
Essence of druidism.
117
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:13,390
The hallowed earth.
118
00:10:13,390 --> 00:10:15,590
Happens in two day's time.
119
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:19,030
Nothing to stop us now, I suppose.
120
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:23,470
Apart from the fact that Crowcall Circle is
now a crime scene and so totally off limits.
121
00:10:24,910 --> 00:10:26,790
Nettle and hartshorn.
122
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:29,830
No animal is harmed in the process.
123
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:32,990
Makes all the difference.
124
00:10:34,270 --> 00:10:38,350
Ezra Canning says he was with you between
midnight and one o'clock this morning.
125
00:10:38,350 --> 00:10:40,510
He was.
126
00:10:40,510 --> 00:10:42,910
And, if you want my alibi,
I was with him (!)
127
00:10:42,910 --> 00:10:45,070
(Hm.)
128
00:10:50,270 --> 00:10:52,310
Lay lines.
129
00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:54,830
An ancient power grid.
130
00:10:56,430 --> 00:11:00,070
In this case, between the
churches at Long Blaydon...
131
00:11:01,230 --> 00:11:04,030
..Barton Halt
and here at Midsomer Mow.
132
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:06,150
Which ends in Crowcall Circle.
133
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:08,230
Well, no. It would
make more sense if it did.
134
00:11:09,310 --> 00:11:12,750
The stones carry power, Mr Barnaby.
135
00:11:12,750 --> 00:11:15,670
A spiritual charge.
You must've felt it.
136
00:11:17,950 --> 00:11:20,070
Well, I'm...happy to give it another go.
137
00:11:21,710 --> 00:11:24,950
So er...what were you
planning on doing...
138
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:28,550
since your last ditch attempt
to stop Preston had failed?
139
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:30,510
Direct action. Meaning?
140
00:11:30,510 --> 00:11:33,110
Occupy the site, picket his farm.
141
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:35,110
Anything to stop him
ploughing the meadow.
142
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:38,550
Anything (?)
143
00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:40,350
Oh, don't be ridiculous!
144
00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:44,310
Murder?
145
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:47,310
It's unthinkable.
Well, somebody thought it.
146
00:11:47,310 --> 00:11:49,950
Somebody planned it.
And somebody did it.

Sorry? When Ezra Canning...
157
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:36,150
threatened Alex Preston.
Yes. I was there at the time.

(GRUNTS)
159
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:47,590
Did you really expect him to dob in?
He's strapped. Everyone knows that.
160
00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:50,590
Fact he's never bought a round
don't mean he's on the parish.

This row.
165
00:13:06,430 --> 00:13:08,590
What was said?
166
00:13:08,590 --> 00:13:12,350
It was about Preston's intention
to plough...Gorse Meadow.
167
00:13:12,350 --> 00:13:14,390
But what was said?
168
00:13:14,390 --> 00:13:16,590
Canning maintained it was sacrilege.
169
00:13:16,590 --> 00:13:18,430
Preston told him he was talking drivel.
170
00:13:20,030 --> 00:13:22,830
Canning said...if he had
a heart, he'd rip it out.
171
00:13:23,950 --> 00:13:25,790
Or something of the sort.
172
00:13:25,790 --> 00:13:29,030
Which is just what someone did.
On the blood stone.
173
00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:31,950
That's what the locals call

Or was. Mr Singer's an expert.

Local history. Just a hobby.
176
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:40,110
What do you know about
the New Dawn Druids?
177
00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:44,270
Harmless eccentrics.
178
00:13:48,910 --> 00:13:52,310
So he says he was with her,
she says she was with him.
179
00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:55,310
That's convenient. But
logical, if it's the truth.
180
00:13:55,310 --> 00:13:59,110
Well, it isn't. I saw Ezra Canning last
night on the road to Alex Preston's farm.
181
00:13:59,110 --> 00:14:01,310
Does the road lead nowhere else?
182
00:14:01,310 --> 00:14:03,870
No. Well... I'll
take you to the farm,
183
00:14:03,870 --> 00:14:05,950
if that's where you're going.
184
00:14:05,950 --> 00:14:08,110
But he was not
with Leticia Clifford.
185
00:14:08,110 --> 00:14:10,790
What time was this?
About 11:30. Thereabouts.
186
00:14:13,150 --> 00:14:15,230
Thank you, Pam.
187
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:18,590
I was doing the rounds. There've
been some burglaries in the village.
188
00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:20,590
Break-ins.
189
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:22,670
All of them at night.
190
00:14:22,670 --> 00:14:24,590
What about Evan Jago?
191
00:14:25,830 --> 00:14:27,950
Yeah. It had occurred.
192
00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:30,190
Well, the timing's right. Kate Wilding
193
00:14:30,190 --> 00:14:32,670
put Alex Preston's time of death between
194
00:14:32,670 --> 00:14:34,910
midnight and one.
195
00:14:34,910 --> 00:14:38,910
So why go to the trouble of carting his body
all the way to Crowcall Circle and gutting him?
196
00:14:38,910 --> 00:14:41,110
Well, it makes a point.
He threatens the stones,
197
00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:43,070
he dies among the stones.
198
00:14:52,950 --> 00:14:55,110
I've put your dinner in the
oven. Hi.
199

00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:02,310
Er, not as we speak. But I will
be by the time I get there.

Ah. You heard. News came
with the school bus this morning.
205
00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:18,590
We took the 6th form archaeology lot
206
00:15:18,590 --> 00:15:21,150
They would've loved
a dead body or two.

It's registered to Eleanor

The most frequent recipient of
calls is someone named Aidan.

I was in the pub picking up gossip.

There was a folk/rock band playing
and I didn't hear my phone.

You called him, Aidan whoever?
230
00:19:02,650 --> 00:19:04,810

Maybe I'll pay Mr Singer a visit.

I did call you back during the band's

The hare features in almost all

From east to west,
from...pagan to orthodox.

It's a trickster.
It's twinned with the moon.

It's a witch's familiar.
256
00:20:48,370 --> 00:20:50,370
It's a fertility symbol.
257
00:20:50,370 --> 00:20:52,530
And it appears, heavily disguised,
258
00:20:58,770 --> 00:21:01,650
as Alex Preston, and on the same spot...
259
00:21:01,650 --> 00:21:04,010
Is both sacrifice and warning,
I'd've said.
260
00:21:04,010 --> 00:21:07,410
Care for a drink? Er,
it's a little early for me.
261

One of the delights of retirement.
A small Scotch before midday.
262
00:21:12,210 --> 00:21:15,290
Of course, this talk of sacrifice,
blood stones, it's poppycock.
263
00:21:15,290 --> 00:21:18,810
The locals love it, but
there's no historical evidence
264
00:21:18,810 --> 00:21:21,890
to suggest that Crowcall Circle
was anything but a burial site.
265
00:21:23,330 --> 00:21:25,490
Now, if you want bloodshed...
266
00:21:25,490 --> 00:21:28,770
the Battle of Hallows Beck
was fought about two miles away.
267
00:21:30,170 --> 00:21:32,410
Anglo Saxon army
up against the Norsemen.
268
00:21:34,290 --> 00:21:37,250
Wholesale slaughter. Guts and
body parts all over the place.
269
00:21:37,250 --> 00:21:39,410
Hm. You've made a study.
270
00:21:39,410 --> 00:21:41,770
I've become interested
in local history, yeah.
271
00:21:41,770 --> 00:21:44,010
I find it absorbing.
Do you erm...
272
00:21:45,970 --> 00:21:47,890
Do you know what this is?
273
00:21:50,050 --> 00:21:51,970
Ah, yes. The Awen.
274
00:21:53,850 --> 00:21:56,050

00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:09,970
They represent the supreme being's utterance
of his own name to create the world.
279
00:22:09,970 --> 00:22:12,770

281
00:22:16,170 --> 00:22:18,170
Druidism is as good as any.
282
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:20,570
So you're an expert, but not...
283
00:22:22,090 --> 00:22:26,810
..a believer. Expert, no.
284
00:22:31,610 --> 00:22:33,570
That's an excellent reproduction.
285
00:22:35,330 --> 00:22:38,010
You say that because you know
it can't be a genuine Picasso.
286
00:22:39,210 --> 00:22:42,170
Well, actually, it's an original,
but not a Picasso.
287
00:22:42,170 --> 00:22:45,370
It's a Jack Weston.
Famous faker of old masters,

00:22:45,370 --> 00:22:47,850

289
00:22:47,850 --> 00:22:50,010
even the odd Michelangelo.
290
00:22:50,010 --> 00:22:52,010
(CHUCKLES) Odd, isn't it?
291
00:22:52,010 --> 00:22:55,810
How a forger can become
collectable...in his own right.
292
00:22:56,930 --> 00:22:58,690
He was good.

00:23:00,410 --> 00:23:02,330

there's been an incident.

you've been. I'm sorry.

was staying with friends.
311
00:24:18,690 --> 00:24:21,090
Yeah. We were having a bit
of time off from one another.
312
00:24:23,890 --> 00:24:26,250
You might as well know.
Alex and I, we were um...
313
00:24:26,250 --> 00:24:28,170
We weren't getting on all that well.
314
00:24:29,850 --> 00:24:33,450
You left your phone behind.
Yeah.
315
00:24:33,450 --> 00:24:36,170
The last recorded calls
were to someone called Aidan.
316
00:24:36,170 --> 00:24:38,130
Yes?
Mm.
317
00:24:38,130 --> 00:24:40,450
Aidan Hardy. He's my fencing coach.
318
00:24:40,450 --> 00:24:44,330
I called to cancel and rebook. I had
a few problems getting through.
319
00:24:44,330 --> 00:24:46,850
Listen, erm...I don't think
I can stay here.
320

Sleep here, I mean.

00:24:49,250 --> 00:24:51,730

322

perhaps. Let us know.
323
00:24:53,770 --> 00:24:55,730
Yes, of course. Same goes for you.

staying at a friend's, or -

want another look at the crime scene.

just yesterday.
330

Passed me on the Causton Road, doing
well over the limit. Time? About 8:00.
331
00:25:22,890 --> 00:25:25,250
Did you see who was driving?
332
00:25:25,250 --> 00:25:28,210
It was a woman. Other than that...
Have you reported it?
333
00:25:28,210 --> 00:25:31,170
(SIGHS) Paperwork. Yeah, OK.
334
00:25:38,010 --> 00:25:41,730
She was lying. Trevor saw her
car in Causton last night.
335
00:26:23,530 --> 00:26:25,450
Who's that?
336
00:26:26,690 --> 00:26:29,210
Leticia Clifford. Bad-tempered druid.
337
00:26:37,450 --> 00:26:40,130
Crowcall Circle is off
limits, Miss Clifford.
338
00:26:40,130 --> 00:26:42,050
You are contaminating a crime scene.
339
00:26:42,050 --> 00:26:44,130
Then so are you.
340
00:26:44,130 --> 00:26:47,450
Except, the forensic evidence
will have been gathered, of course.
341
00:26:47,450 --> 00:26:49,970

I daresay.
342
00:26:51,330 --> 00:26:53,250
Take a look.

00:26:57,730 --> 00:26:59,890
You see? A lay line.
344
00:26:59,890 --> 00:27:02,530
Directly from Long Blaydon to here.
345
00:27:02,530 --> 00:27:04,610
A line of mystical power.
346
00:27:04,610 --> 00:27:06,570
The church spires line up all right.
347
00:27:08,410 --> 00:27:10,570
I can't see any flying saucers
(!) (CHUCKLES)
348
00:27:10,570 --> 00:27:12,690
You're a sceptic, Mr Barnaby.
349
00:27:12,690 --> 00:27:16,650
Like so many, you see,
but you lack vision.
350
00:27:16,650 --> 00:27:19,250
Lay lines have
nothing to do with UFOs.
351
00:27:19,250 --> 00:27:21,330
And they're pre-Christian.
352
00:27:21,330 --> 00:27:23,130
Preston...
353
00:27:23,130 --> 00:27:26,530
put barbed wire... on
the gate into the meadow.
354
00:27:27,650 --> 00:27:29,770
Surely that's illegal. I could sue.
355
00:27:31,330 --> 00:27:34,370
Take up your theodolite,
Miss Clifford...and walk (!)
356
00:27:39,130 --> 00:27:41,210
Oh er...by the way...
357
00:27:41,210 --> 00:27:43,490
Do you recognise this?
358
00:27:43,490 --> 00:27:45,650
It's the Awen.
359
00:27:45,650 --> 00:27:48,130
It's a symbol of
- Yes, I know what it is.
360
00:27:48,130 --> 00:27:50,730
I asked if you recognised
it. Meaning, is it yours?
361
00:27:52,210 --> 00:27:56,330
No. I don't approve of our symbols
being manufactured
362
00:27:56,330 --> 00:27:58,970
as gift shop trinkets, Mr Barnaby.
363
00:27:58,970 --> 00:28:01,370
Faith comes from within.
364
00:28:14,930 --> 00:28:17,010
What did she say it was?
365
00:28:17,010 --> 00:28:19,210
An Awen. A symbol of druidical power.
366
00:28:19,210 --> 00:28:21,370
The word means inspiration.
367
00:28:21,370 --> 00:28:23,890
Loosely translated from
the er... mediaeval Welsh.
368
00:28:23,890 --> 00:28:27,970
How do you know that?
369
00:28:27,970 --> 00:28:30,130
What I don't know
370
00:28:30,130 --> 00:28:34,410
is how the killer got Preston's
body from the road to the circle.
371
00:28:35,570 --> 00:28:38,810
He must've been strong enough
to er...move it singlehandedly.
372
00:28:38,810 --> 00:28:40,730
Unless there were two of them.
373
00:28:47,290 --> 00:28:49,290
Do you have any gloves?
374
00:28:49,290 --> 00:28:51,610
Forensics should've picked that up.
375
00:28:56,810 --> 00:28:58,530
Leticia Clifford cut herself.
376
00:29:00,090 --> 00:29:01,970
She wasn't wearing blue.

rather interesting.

If it's not too late,
I'll come over and show you.

Something's been removed from here.
390
00:31:16,450 --> 00:31:18,530
Cause of death?
391
00:31:18,530 --> 00:31:22,130
Pretty straightforward. Multiple
stab wounds. 10 at first count.
392
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:24,570
Any four of which
could've been fatal.
393
00:31:25,610 --> 00:31:27,570
Overkill, you might say.
394
00:31:29,450 --> 00:31:32,050
So, what was on the
paper that's been removed?
395
00:31:35,050 --> 00:31:38,290
What about that?
Inflicted after death.
396
00:31:38,290 --> 00:31:40,730
There's a definite taste
for gore in all this.
397
00:31:42,530 --> 00:31:45,730
Who found her? Delivery man
from the local grocer's.
398
00:31:45,730 --> 00:31:48,410
Came in, threw up, passed out.
399
00:31:48,410 --> 00:31:50,610
And messed up my crime scene.
He got here at 9:00.
400
00:31:50,610 --> 00:31:53,090
But I'd say she's been dead
for a while. 10:00 last night?

Desecration of a holy site.
407
00:32:19,770 --> 00:32:24,930
Maybe it wasn't pre-planned. Maybe he went
to the farmhouse to reason with him,
408
00:32:24,930 --> 00:32:27,970
lost his temper, attacked him,
one thing led to another.
409
00:32:27,970 --> 00:32:30,050
Leticia found out, or he told her.
410
00:32:30,050 --> 00:32:32,130
She refused to be an accessory.
411
00:32:32,130 --> 00:32:34,730
He killed her to keep her
quiet. Exactly.
412
00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:38,570
OK. Well, we'd better have
Ezra Canning in for questioning.
413

that, Trevor. I don't like it at all.

Oh. Pretty deadly. You could turn

Do you fence?
Oh, no. Not really.

to Alex Preston's death?

00:42:18,090 --> 00:42:20,490
Though both victims were
killed with some sort of...
515
00:42:21,610 --> 00:42:23,490
..blade.
516
00:42:25,490 --> 00:42:27,730
I was with Mrs Preston.
Ah.
517
00:42:27,730 --> 00:42:30,330
We were at the pub in
Midsomer Mow having supper.
518
00:42:33,370 --> 00:42:35,250
We've become friends.
Her lover.
519
00:42:36,730 --> 00:42:38,730
You're having an affair, aren't you?
520
00:42:39,810 --> 00:42:41,730
It's not illegal.
521
00:42:43,290 --> 00:42:47,730
No. But it can lead
to things... that are.
522
00:43:34,570 --> 00:43:36,570
Bleeding farmers!
523
00:43:36,570 --> 00:43:40,210
Ezra...? Ezra, stop!
524
00:43:41,610 --> 00:43:43,890
Ezra?!
525
00:43:59,170 --> 00:44:02,530
Stop!
526
00:44:02,530 --> 00:44:04,050
Oh, f...
527
00:44:06,290 --> 00:44:08,970
Ezra, stop! Stop!
528
00:44:21,250 --> 00:44:23,490
Trev!
529
00:44:25,610 --> 00:44:28,490
I was just cruising the lanes
looking for Jago. Luckily...
530
00:44:28,490 --> 00:44:31,290
I left one up the spout.
Are you all right?
531
00:44:31,290 --> 00:44:33,010
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
532
00:44:49,130 --> 00:44:51,210
Ms Preston!
533
00:44:51,210 --> 00:44:53,770
Ms Preston. Erm...
534
00:44:53,770 --> 00:44:57,610
The people you were staying with on
the night your husband was murdered.
535
00:44:57,610 --> 00:45:00,050
I'd better have their details.
No! They're friends.
536
00:45:00,050 --> 00:45:02,130
I don't want them dragged into this.
537
00:45:02,130 --> 00:45:04,530
I know about you and Aidan Hardy.
538
00:45:04,530 --> 00:45:07,010
He told you?
He didn't have to.
539
00:45:07,010 --> 00:45:09,770
(RESIGNED SIGH) Look.
All right. I was with Aidan.
540
00:45:11,010 --> 00:45:13,130
I told you what I told Alex.
541
00:45:13,130 --> 00:45:15,290
Where? A hotel in London.
542
00:45:15,290 --> 00:45:18,050
The Berkeley in Knightsbridge.
You can check. Yes.
543
00:45:18,050 --> 00:45:19,890
I will. (MOBILE RINGS)
544
00:45:21,290 --> 00:45:23,730

545
00:45:23,730 --> 00:45:26,690
Oh, yes. Er, thank you
for er... calling back.
546
00:45:26,690 --> 00:45:30,010
I believe you act for a Mr Alex Preston.
547
00:45:30,010 --> 00:45:31,930
Yeah. We need to talk.
548
00:45:33,090 --> 00:45:34,370
Eleanor?
549
00:45:36,370 --> 00:45:38,450
Can you just hold on a moment?
550
00:45:38,450 --> 00:45:40,410
(CAR HORN)
551
00:45:47,090 --> 00:45:48,970
You OK? Yeah.
552
00:45:52,820 --> 00:45:54,900
I didn't see him.
553
00:45:54,900 --> 00:45:56,980
Yes, you did.
554
00:45:56,980 --> 00:45:59,700
He was trespassing.
He's a police officer!
555
00:45:59,700 --> 00:46:03,100
Look. I wasn't gonna kill him,
for heaven's sake.
556
00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:06,460
It's just, someone commits murder and
immediately the druids are suspect.
557
00:46:06,460 --> 00:46:08,620
I was fed up with it.
558
00:46:08,620 --> 00:46:11,300
I expect you've been
harassing Leticia too.
559
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:17,980
What?
560
00:46:17,980 --> 00:46:20,620
Leticia Clifford was
murdered last night.
561
00:46:21,740 --> 00:46:23,900
I assumed you knew.
562
00:46:23,900 --> 00:46:26,220
It seems to be common
knowledge in Midsomer Mow.
563
00:46:29,540 --> 00:46:31,460
I haven't been into the village.
564
00:46:32,620 --> 00:46:34,540
Started spraying early.
It's a big job.
565
00:46:38,300 --> 00:46:39,980
I'm sorry. She
called me last night.
566
00:46:42,180 --> 00:46:44,140
Said she had something
she wanted to show me.
567
00:46:45,220 --> 00:46:47,140
It was late.
568
00:46:48,220 --> 00:46:50,140
Said I'd see her another time.
569
00:47:00,420 --> 00:47:02,460
Good acting, perhaps?
570
00:47:02,460 --> 00:47:04,500
I don't think so.
571
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:06,660
He's still a prime suspect.
572
00:47:06,660 --> 00:47:09,140
She was going to shop him...
so he killed her.
573
00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:12,740
Didn't want to, but had to,
hence the tears.
574
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:16,300
He says he was in the Six
Bells until after eleven.
575
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:18,500
Offered Caradoc Singer as a witness.
576
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:20,940
Eleanor Preston and Aidan Hardy too.
577
00:47:20,940 --> 00:47:23,900
Which reminds me. We're checking
the hotel she gave you.
578
00:47:23,900 --> 00:47:25,980
I knew they were at it.
579
00:47:25,980 --> 00:47:28,060
You were right.
580
00:47:28,060 --> 00:47:30,300
All works out well for them,
doesn't it?
581
00:47:30,300 --> 00:47:32,660
Now she's a rich widow.
Is she?
582
00:47:32,660 --> 00:47:34,780
Obviously. She inherits.
583
00:47:34,780 --> 00:47:37,340
Does she?
584
00:47:37,340 --> 00:47:39,900
I checked with Preston's solicitor.
585
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:41,980
Preston changed his will recently.
586
00:47:41,980 --> 00:47:44,540
The new will disinherits her completely.
587
00:47:44,540 --> 00:47:46,300
Does she know?
588
00:47:46,300 --> 00:47:48,620
According to the solicitor, no.
589
00:47:50,100 --> 00:47:53,540
So Alex Preston found out
his wife was having an affair.
590
00:47:59,020 --> 00:48:01,540
Any CCTV evidence for that?
Not yet.
591
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:03,780
OK. Keep on it.
(MOBILE RINGS)
592
00:48:03,780 --> 00:48:05,900
And step up the search for Evan Jago.
593
00:48:07,340 --> 00:48:09,420

594
00:48:09,420 --> 00:48:11,620
It's Kate. Hi, Kate.
595
00:48:12,940 --> 00:48:14,820
Yes.
596
00:48:20,980 --> 00:48:23,820
Are you sure?
No doubt about it.
597
00:48:25,220 --> 00:48:27,260
OK.
598
00:48:27,260 --> 00:48:29,220
Thanks.
599
00:49:17,620 --> 00:49:19,740
Mr Barnaby. Please.
600
00:49:24,900 --> 00:49:26,940
Does this make any sense to you?
601
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:30,500
Lay line map.
602
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:34,100
Leticia Clifford? Terrible business.
603
00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:36,020
Just here she's written
604
00:49:36,020 --> 00:49:39,540
Battle of Hallows Beck.
Well, that's wrong.
605
00:49:39,540 --> 00:49:43,740
The battle of Hallows Beck was fought a
good two miles north of Gorse Meadow.
606
00:49:43,740 --> 00:49:47,620
It's on the Midsomer Mow website.
You can look it up. Oh, I did.
607
00:49:47,620 --> 00:49:50,580
Erm... Yeah, there's a
mention of... Oh. What was it?
608
00:49:50,580 --> 00:49:53,100
Erm...the sleeper under the hill?
609
00:49:53,100 --> 00:49:55,300
Oh, yes, yes.
610
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:58,900
The belief that the old warriors will
one day rise to avenge the slain.
611
00:49:58,900 --> 00:50:01,260
Tennyson wrote a poem
on the subject.
612
00:50:01,260 --> 00:50:03,620
And erm...the rest of it?
613
00:50:03,620 --> 00:50:06,060
Meaningless to me, I'm afraid.
614
00:50:11,340 --> 00:50:14,100
Allow me. Oh, I
er...I saw you on the TV.
615
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:16,260
I'm sorry?
616
00:50:16,260 --> 00:50:19,780
As I arrived. You were...watching.
Oh, er...
617
00:50:19,780 --> 00:50:21,940
No, that wasn't er...
618
00:50:21,940 --> 00:50:24,420
(NERVOUS LAUGH)
I keep a visual diary.
619
00:50:26,180 --> 00:50:28,940
It's er...part of my
local history...interest.
620
00:50:30,860 --> 00:50:35,780
People think it's the big events that make
history, Mr Barnaby. Big events and big people.
621
00:50:35,780 --> 00:50:38,500
But it's not. It's the way
622
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:40,940
ordinary people live their lives.
623
00:50:40,940 --> 00:50:44,140
I...I spend time in the Six Bells
not for the company.
624
00:50:44,140 --> 00:50:46,220
I go for the gossip.
625
00:50:46,220 --> 00:50:48,940
Gossip...is the real history.
626
00:50:48,940 --> 00:50:51,060
So you were on screen...
627
00:50:51,060 --> 00:50:53,340
Telling the story of Midsomer Mow.
628
00:50:53,340 --> 00:50:56,300
When I die, it'll be
put into a time capsule.
629
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:58,460
For future generations to find.
630
00:50:58,460 --> 00:51:01,460
Another er...sleeper under the hill.
631
00:51:02,660 --> 00:51:04,860
Yes. Since you put it that way.
632
00:51:04,860 --> 00:51:06,700
(CHUCKLES) What
a delightful thought.
633
00:51:08,300 --> 00:51:10,220
Goodbye.
634
00:51:25,620 --> 00:51:27,900
Sergeant Gibson.
Oh, hello, sir.
635
00:51:27,900 --> 00:51:30,580
To er...keep you in the picture,
636
00:51:30,580 --> 00:51:32,900
I just spoke to Caradoc Singer.
637
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:35,900
He confirmed seeing Ezra Canning
in the Six Bells last night.
638
00:51:35,900 --> 00:51:39,180
But can't say what time he left.
Which doesn't help us much.
639
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:43,780
Mm. You're right. However, we have
confirmed your sighting of Ezra Canning
640
00:51:43,780 --> 00:51:46,860
on the road to Crowcall Farm on
the night of Preston's murder.
641
00:51:46,860 --> 00:51:48,940
Canning admitted it in interview.
642
00:51:48,940 --> 00:51:50,820
Right. Good.
643
00:51:54,140 --> 00:51:58,500
Oh. Erm...and we've got
CCTV of Eleanor Preston's car
644
00:51:58,500 --> 00:52:00,740
in Causton on the same night.
645
00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:05,580
Thanks to you.
Just luck, really. Eh?
646
00:52:05,580 --> 00:52:07,460
Right place, right time.
647
00:52:08,580 --> 00:52:10,460
Secret of good policing.
648
00:52:36,460 --> 00:52:40,140
Interviews with members of the New
Dawn Druids, all securely alibied.
649
00:52:43,740 --> 00:52:47,540
The ones I met seemed...
rather gentle types.
650
00:52:49,540 --> 00:52:51,620
Why does that surprise you?
651
00:52:51,620 --> 00:52:54,980
Well...sacrifices to the earth god.
652
00:52:54,980 --> 00:52:57,180
Sacrifices to the sun god.
653
00:52:57,180 --> 00:53:00,060
The internet's a dangerous
place to do research, Jones.
654
00:53:02,420 --> 00:53:05,020
Any sign on the CCTV of
Eleanor Preston's car?
655
00:53:06,660 --> 00:53:10,900
I've had four officers working shifts
staring at a screen for two days.
656
00:53:12,900 --> 00:53:15,020
But CCTV's not foolproof.
657
00:53:15,020 --> 00:53:19,540
No. But it does lend weight to
a certain line of investigation.
658
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:26,260
Trevor Gibson... gave us the first lead.
659
00:53:26,260 --> 00:53:28,620
The Awen brooch. So.
660
00:53:29,820 --> 00:53:32,700
A stone circle, a man
dead, a druid symbol.
661
00:53:32,700 --> 00:53:35,340
Then he mentioned having seen
662
00:53:35,340 --> 00:53:37,820
Ezra Canning on the
road to Crowcall Farm.
663
00:53:37,820 --> 00:53:42,740
And said he'd spotted Eleanor
Preston's car in Causton that night.
664
00:53:42,740 --> 00:53:46,780
Where's this going? He also
as good as accused Evan Jago
665
00:53:46,780 --> 00:53:50,020
of having laid the
hare on the blood stone.
666
00:53:50,020 --> 00:53:52,580
Oh, come on! Very subtlely,
667
00:53:52,580 --> 00:53:56,260
but quite deliberately, he has
been manipulating the investigation.
668
00:54:00,940 --> 00:54:03,060
Sir
- He found the brooch.
669
00:54:03,060 --> 00:54:07,420
Or...he planted it. He saw Canning.
Canning denies it. He saw Mrs Preston's car.
670
00:54:07,420 --> 00:54:10,020
There's no CCTV evidence for that.
671
00:54:10,020 --> 00:54:13,980
Here's something else. He
discharged a shotgun at Ezra Canning.
672
00:54:13,980 --> 00:54:17,060
Yeah
- to stop him running me down. Perhaps.
673
00:54:17,060 --> 00:54:21,860
But suppose that he'd
actually been aiming to kill.
674
00:54:21,860 --> 00:54:26,260
Canning chasing you with a crop sprayer
might have been seen as an admission of guilt.
675
00:54:26,260 --> 00:54:30,340
And Canning's death as a
neat end to the investigation.
676
00:54:30,340 --> 00:54:32,460
I can't believe you're saying this.
677
00:54:34,940 --> 00:54:37,740
Trevor Gibson...is a good cop.
678
00:54:37,740 --> 00:54:41,140
I've known him for years.
How well have you know him?
679
00:54:41,140 --> 00:54:43,100
Oh, this is...
680
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:47,900
There is no evidence to suggest
he planted the brooch.
681
00:54:47,900 --> 00:54:50,380
Of course Canning denies
being near the farm.
682
00:54:50,380 --> 00:54:52,460
CCTV is unreliable.
683
00:54:52,460 --> 00:54:54,660
And maybe Jago did leave the hare.
684
00:54:54,660 --> 00:54:57,100
As for the crop spraying incident,
685
00:54:57,100 --> 00:54:59,500
it may have escaped your notice,
but he saved my life!
686
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:05,220
I saw Gibson today.
687
00:55:07,020 --> 00:55:09,380
I told him that Canning had confessed...
688
00:55:09,380 --> 00:55:12,500
to being close to Crowcall Farm
on the night of Preston's murder.
689
00:55:12,500 --> 00:55:16,460
And that we had Eleanor
Preston's car on CCTV.
690
00:55:16,460 --> 00:55:19,580
He knew perfectly well
it couldn't be true.
691
00:55:19,580 --> 00:55:23,260
Yeah? How do you know?
His reaction.
692
00:55:23,260 --> 00:55:26,500
Oh, this... I had a call
earlier from Kate Wilding.
693
00:55:30,540 --> 00:55:33,340
The blood beneath the broken
window at Crowcall Farm.
694
00:55:33,340 --> 00:55:35,700
It came up on the police database.
695
00:55:38,340 --> 00:55:40,420
It's Gibson's.
696
00:55:40,420 --> 00:55:42,340
She triple-checked.
697
00:55:53,580 --> 00:55:55,620
He'll be off duty now.
Yes.
698
00:55:55,620 --> 00:55:57,300
I'll go and talk to him.
No.
699
00:56:00,460 --> 00:56:02,860
We'll take this one
together. And Jones...
700
00:56:02,860 --> 00:56:05,300
My lead. OK? Sir,
I'd like to be the one -
701
00:56:05,300 --> 00:56:07,220
MY lead!
702
00:56:22,220 --> 00:56:24,780
Maybe he's asleep.
Maybe he's not.
703
00:56:24,780 --> 00:56:26,260
Meaning...?
704
00:56:31,140 --> 00:56:33,100
He's gone. Or he's at the pub.
705
00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:35,300
I don't think so. We can try.
706
00:56:39,300 --> 00:56:41,180
When was the last time we had rain?
707
00:56:42,220 --> 00:56:44,100
A week ago. More.
708
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:06,620
(GASPS)
709
00:57:23,850 --> 00:57:25,930
I'm pretty sure he drowned.
710
00:57:25,930 --> 00:57:28,650
I mean, he was probably alive
when he was put in the water.
711
00:57:28,650 --> 00:57:31,050
He must've been unconscious, though.
712
00:57:31,050 --> 00:57:34,930
Impossible to wrestle a man into that if
he was not only alive, but also kicking.
713
00:57:34,930 --> 00:57:37,050
How long has he been dead?
714
00:57:37,050 --> 00:57:39,690
It's hard to be accurate
with drowning, but...two hours?
715
00:57:39,690 --> 00:57:41,570
Maybe less.
716
00:57:41,570 --> 00:57:44,050
One of our own.
717
00:57:44,050 --> 00:57:46,050
He was one of our own.
718
00:57:46,050 --> 00:57:48,130
Not a suspect. A victim.
719
00:57:51,570 --> 00:57:55,170
We need to find Jago. He threatened
to kill Trevor, and he meant it.
720
00:57:55,170 --> 00:57:57,130
Yes, OK. I'll get onto it.
721
00:58:32,050 --> 00:58:33,650
Kate?
722
00:58:40,250 --> 00:58:42,930
I'll need an analysis...of this.
723
00:58:57,690 --> 00:58:59,850
What type of cloth, no problem.
724
00:58:59,850 --> 00:59:02,890
Origin may take a little longer.
Want to take a guess?
725
00:59:02,890 --> 00:59:05,610
No. Amateurs guess.
726
00:59:06,690 --> 00:59:08,610
And then they apologise afterwards.
727
00:59:24,970 --> 00:59:27,050
Good copper.
728
00:59:27,050 --> 00:59:29,410
Explain the blood on
the farmhouse window.
729
00:59:29,410 --> 00:59:31,890
He could've explained it,
given the chance.
730
00:59:35,690 --> 00:59:38,730
Any sign of Evan Jago? Two search teams
- (MOBILE RINGS)
731
00:59:38,730 --> 00:59:42,370
An APB issued. Nothing so
far. DS Jones.
732
00:59:43,730 --> 00:59:45,730
Oh, thanks for getting back.
733
00:59:45,730 --> 00:59:48,210
Are you sure about that?
734
00:59:48,210 --> 00:59:50,370
7:30?
735
00:59:52,290 --> 00:59:57,370
Could you send a copy of the bill
to Causton Police Station marked
736
00:59:57,370 --> 00:59:59,450
Thanks.
737
00:59:59,450 --> 01:00:01,970
That was the manager
of the Berkeley Hotel.
738
01:00:01,970 --> 01:00:05,890
Eleanor and Aidan booked in for three
nights, but only stayed for two.
739
01:00:07,290 --> 01:00:09,530
So, on the night of
Alex Preston's death...
740
01:00:09,530 --> 01:00:12,450
They checked out at 7:30.
More than enough time.
741
01:00:16,770 --> 01:00:19,210
Whatever they are, they don't belong.
742
01:00:20,330 --> 01:00:22,770
Eleanor Preston and Aidan
Hardy! Yes.
743
01:00:22,770 --> 01:00:24,690
They had time enough.
744
01:00:47,490 --> 01:00:49,810
Yes, all right.
We checked out early.
745
01:00:54,130 --> 01:00:56,130
So you lied. Yes.
746
01:00:56,130 --> 01:00:58,610
Why? Isn't it obvious?
747
01:00:58,610 --> 01:01:02,890
You didn't wanna reveal your relationship
with Mr Hardy. See? It is obvious. Or...
748
01:01:02,890 --> 01:01:05,730
You didn't want to reveal
that you'd given yourself
749
01:01:05,730 --> 01:01:08,970
more than enough time to go to Crowcall
Farm and murder your husband.
750
01:01:08,970 --> 01:01:11,410
Yeah, but...why would we
have checked out?
751
01:01:11,410 --> 01:01:14,410
Surely we'd have just driven
to Midsomer Mow, killed Alex,
752
01:01:14,410 --> 01:01:16,970
driven back, gone to bed
and left the next morning.
753
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:23,410
People make mistakes.
754
01:01:23,410 --> 01:01:25,490
That's how they get caught
out. Oh (!)
755
01:01:36,410 --> 01:01:38,490
Why did you check out?
756
01:01:38,490 --> 01:01:41,410
I ran into some friends
on their way to the restaurant.
757
01:01:42,490 --> 01:01:45,170
I made up an...excuse about a...
758
01:01:45,170 --> 01:01:48,170
work meeting, Aidan
took the cases to the car,
759
01:01:48,170 --> 01:01:50,050
I, of course, paid the bill.
760
01:01:50,050 --> 01:01:51,730
Where did you go?
761
01:01:52,810 --> 01:01:54,970
Aidan's house in Long Barton.
762
01:01:54,970 --> 01:01:57,410
It's risky, cos he's got
nosey neighbours.
763
01:01:57,410 --> 01:01:59,610
We parked a couple of streets
away. Lowther Road?
764
01:02:04,530 --> 01:02:07,450
I didn't kill my husband!
You cheated on him.
765
01:02:07,450 --> 01:02:10,010
It's not...quite the same thing (!)
766
01:02:11,610 --> 01:02:13,610
(SIGHS) Look.
767
01:02:13,610 --> 01:02:16,210
It wasn't a good marriage.
I probably should've left him.
768
01:02:17,330 --> 01:02:19,250
I was unfaithful to him, yes.
769
01:02:19,250 --> 01:02:21,930
But we lived largely separate
lives. I felt entitled.
770
01:02:21,930 --> 01:02:24,970
Do you also feel entitled to
the farm and the bank balance?
771
01:02:24,970 --> 01:02:26,850
Since you ask, yes.
772
01:02:32,850 --> 01:02:36,450
We might want to talk to you again.
Yeah, well, you have my number.
773
01:02:36,450 --> 01:02:39,610
Crowcall Farm is longer
a crime scene, by the way.
774
01:02:39,610 --> 01:02:41,610
You don't have to stay here.
775
01:02:41,610 --> 01:02:44,490
I know, but I can afford it, so...
776
01:02:44,490 --> 01:02:48,570
Crowcall is my past. You don't intend
to run the farm as a going concern?
777
01:02:48,570 --> 01:02:52,170
Going, yes. As
in going, going...gone.
778
01:02:58,290 --> 01:03:00,450
Check with the nosey neighbours.
779
01:03:00,450 --> 01:03:03,130
And for any sighting of
a Mercedes convertible
780
01:03:03,130 --> 01:03:05,210
parked a couple of streets away.
781
01:03:05,210 --> 01:03:08,050
Shouldn't we have told her
Preston changed his will?
782
01:03:08,050 --> 01:03:10,450
I think we'll keep
that for another time.
783
01:03:10,450 --> 01:03:12,170
(Can't wait.)
784
01:03:19,730 --> 01:03:27,090
Tea's up. Lovely. About time.
785
01:03:53,970 --> 01:03:56,090
So I was right.
786
01:03:56,090 --> 01:03:58,810
Prior to death, he suffered
a blow to the head here.
787
01:03:58,810 --> 01:04:01,010
At the back of the cranium.
Enough to stun him.
788
01:04:01,010 --> 01:04:03,970
He would've only have lost
consciousness for a few minutes.
789
01:04:05,130 --> 01:04:08,290
Except for the fact that he was
790
01:04:08,290 --> 01:04:10,170
Except for that. Yes.
791
01:04:18,690 --> 01:04:20,730
What's that?
792
01:04:20,730 --> 01:04:22,850
An incision.
793
01:04:22,850 --> 01:04:26,370
Two days old, maybe.
Glass cut? Could be.
794
01:04:26,370 --> 01:04:28,450
And the scraps we found in the stove?
795
01:04:28,450 --> 01:04:30,450
It all takes time, John.
796
01:04:30,450 --> 01:04:33,490
Oh, the search team
found some papers.
797
01:04:33,490 --> 01:04:35,810
They were in his desk.
They're over there.
798
01:04:37,610 --> 01:04:40,810
Like the ones found by
Leticia Clifford's body.
799
01:04:40,810 --> 01:04:44,330
Not like them. They ARE the papers
she was working on when she was killed.
800
01:04:46,690 --> 01:04:48,770
He took them before he left.
801
01:04:48,770 --> 01:04:51,170
It looks that way.
How do you know?
802
01:04:53,090 --> 01:04:56,770
That these papers were at the scene.
They've got her blood on them.
803
01:05:21,130 --> 01:05:22,730
Another lay line!
804
01:05:24,970 --> 01:05:27,050
And where they meet...
805
01:05:27,050 --> 01:05:28,970
the king stone.
806
01:05:30,410 --> 01:05:32,290
Oh, Leticia.
807
01:05:48,410 --> 01:05:51,530
Found in Gibson's house. They
were among the papers that
808
01:05:51,530 --> 01:05:54,010
Leticia Clifford was working
on when she was killed.
809
01:05:54,010 --> 01:05:57,650
Oh, and there's more. He
had a cut on his left wrist.
810
01:05:57,650 --> 01:06:00,130
The broken window at Crowcall Farm.
811
01:06:00,130 --> 01:06:02,730
Mm. And that's Eleanor Preston's car.
812
01:06:07,010 --> 01:06:09,170
Which is what she said.
813
01:06:10,290 --> 01:06:12,410
9:30. That's when they parked.
814
01:06:12,410 --> 01:06:14,570
About right for the drive from London.
815
01:06:14,570 --> 01:06:18,010
They come out at...7:50AM.
816
01:06:20,570 --> 01:06:22,450
Hm.
817
01:07:42,690 --> 01:07:45,130
Good morning.
818
01:07:45,130 --> 01:07:48,050
I didn't expect a senior detective
to be on the case.
819
01:07:48,050 --> 01:07:50,330
Sorry?
The burglary.
820
01:07:51,490 --> 01:07:53,450
I called the station
about an hour ago.
821
01:07:53,450 --> 01:07:55,890
Someone broke in last night.
822
01:07:55,890 --> 01:07:58,930
Took a bottle of brandy and
a few things from the fridge.
823
01:07:58,930 --> 01:08:02,330
Ah. Well, I'm sure someone
will be out to take details.
824
01:08:02,330 --> 01:08:04,770
But er...it's not me, I'm afraid.
825
01:08:04,770 --> 01:08:06,850
Any damage done?
826
01:08:06,850 --> 01:08:08,850
Back door was forced.
Apart from that, no.
827
01:08:10,250 --> 01:08:12,290
So, why are you here?
828
01:08:12,290 --> 01:08:14,330
Oh. I er...need some help.
829
01:08:14,330 --> 01:08:16,370
Some advice.
830
01:08:16,370 --> 01:08:18,450
Just a sec.
831
01:08:28,770 --> 01:08:31,810
You know more about the stones
and their history than anyone else.
832
01:08:31,810 --> 01:08:34,530
The sketches that Leticia
Clifford made. I'm sure...
833
01:08:34,530 --> 01:08:37,570
they're crucial in some way. I
just can't figure out how or why.
834
01:08:37,570 --> 01:08:40,930
That's why I thought a bit of
practical fieldwork might be the answer.
835
01:08:42,450 --> 01:08:45,890
It was Alfred Watkins who developed
the theory of lay lines.
836
01:08:47,090 --> 01:08:50,650
He put it down to early man finding the
quickest route between two points.
837
01:08:50,650 --> 01:08:52,810
Nothing more to it.
838
01:08:52,810 --> 01:08:55,770
To suggest they have
mystical power is waffle.
839
01:08:57,610 --> 01:09:00,170
Druids believe it.
My point exactly (!)
840
01:09:00,170 --> 01:09:02,130
(CHUCKLES)
841
01:09:05,730 --> 01:09:08,170
There. Now, this one, for example.
842
01:09:09,330 --> 01:09:11,770
It appears to follow a course...
843
01:09:11,770 --> 01:09:15,010
but that takes it
outside the stone circle.
844
01:09:15,010 --> 01:09:17,770
The theodolite confirms it. See?
845
01:09:17,770 --> 01:09:20,970
It actually passes through
a point over there...
846
01:09:22,330 --> 01:09:25,370
..where...Leticia Clifford...
847
01:09:25,370 --> 01:09:27,290
wrote...
848
01:09:28,730 --> 01:09:30,770
..king stone on her map.
849
01:09:35,210 --> 01:09:38,450
But other reference points might
put it somewhere else entirely.
850
01:09:38,450 --> 01:09:40,450
I'm sorry. I don't see the point.
851
01:09:40,450 --> 01:09:42,370
Leticia was a druid.
852
01:09:44,050 --> 01:09:46,050
Cults need their
rituals and beliefs.
853
01:09:46,050 --> 01:09:48,370
What intrigues me is...
854
01:09:49,730 --> 01:09:52,090
..why she went to such
lengths. What was she after?
855
01:09:52,090 --> 01:09:54,530
Fanatics are tireless, Mr Barnaby.
856
01:09:54,530 --> 01:09:56,570
It's part of their charisma.
857
01:09:56,570 --> 01:09:58,730
Oh, by the way. Erm...
858
01:09:58,730 --> 01:10:00,690
What do you make of this?
859
01:10:08,570 --> 01:10:10,450
May I handle it? Yeah.
860
01:10:11,770 --> 01:10:14,970
It's a sword pommel.
Can you date it?
861
01:10:16,170 --> 01:10:19,610
I'm no expert.
Where did it come from?
862
01:10:19,610 --> 01:10:23,210
Oh. Some er...ramblers
crossing the...meadow.
863
01:10:23,210 --> 01:10:25,730
Which might suggest that...
864
01:10:28,050 --> 01:10:30,330
..the battle of Hallows Beck
865
01:10:30,330 --> 01:10:32,250
closer to here than previously thought.
866
01:10:32,250 --> 01:10:34,170
Nah. I doubt it.
867
01:10:35,610 --> 01:10:39,210
It's not my theory. I showed that to
the Causton Archaeological Society.
868
01:10:39,210 --> 01:10:42,810
They got very excited about it. They're
planning on opening a dig on the site.
869
01:10:42,810 --> 01:10:45,690
Are they? Where exactly?
870
01:10:45,690 --> 01:10:48,490
Well, um...just up
there, I should think.
871
01:10:51,850 --> 01:10:54,010
And er...
872
01:10:54,010 --> 01:10:56,490
When do they start?
Oh, pretty soon.
873
01:10:56,490 --> 01:10:58,650
Eleanor Preston's given her permission.
874
01:11:00,890 --> 01:11:03,890
Yes, well...fascinating stuff.
875
01:11:07,170 --> 01:11:09,290
More for your visual diary.
876
01:11:09,290 --> 01:11:11,170
(MOBILE RINGS)
877
01:11:15,570 --> 01:11:20,170
Jones? Superbitch, aka Eleanor Preston,
just called in to say she's leaving.
878
01:11:20,170 --> 01:11:22,370
I thought we ought to
go and give her permission.
879
01:11:22,370 --> 01:11:24,450
"I'll pick you up."
880
01:11:24,450 --> 01:11:26,410
See you in a bit.
881
01:11:27,570 --> 01:11:30,330
Is that what we were? Just a
cliche? Oh, for sure.
882
01:11:30,330 --> 01:11:32,410
Me with a sad marriage,
883
01:11:32,410 --> 01:11:34,650
you with a...sad bank account.
884
01:11:35,890 --> 01:11:38,690
So now you're free and rich
and I'm not needed. Darling.
885
01:11:38,690 --> 01:11:40,850
You were never needed.
886
01:11:40,850 --> 01:11:43,210
Our affair was a distraction.
You were good in bed.
887
01:11:43,210 --> 01:11:45,770
But I think we can both say
I paid my way.
888
01:11:45,770 --> 01:11:47,850
You bitch!
889
01:11:47,850 --> 01:11:50,010
Well, what do you want?
Another loan?
890
01:11:50,010 --> 01:11:52,530
I say loan, but we both know
I mean gift, don't we?
891
01:11:53,730 --> 01:11:56,050
OK? No, no, no. You're not leaving.
892
01:11:56,050 --> 01:11:59,130
You're gonna stay here and we are
going to talk this through.
893
01:12:01,090 --> 01:12:04,010
Yeah. Is that it...Aidan?
894
01:12:04,010 --> 01:12:05,930
Kill me...sooner than let me go?
895
01:12:11,090 --> 01:12:13,650
What are you gonna do...hm?
896
01:12:13,650 --> 01:12:15,250
What are you waiting for?
897
01:12:19,210 --> 01:12:21,610
Actual bodily harm. Textbook case.
898
01:12:23,290 --> 01:12:25,570
Self defence.
899
01:12:25,570 --> 01:12:30,010
If you're here to tell me I can't leave,
you'd better charge me with something. No.
900
01:12:30,010 --> 01:12:32,730
I won't be doing that. I know
you didn't kill your husband.
901
01:12:32,730 --> 01:12:36,050
CCTV evidence puts you exactly
where you said you were.
902
01:12:36,050 --> 01:12:38,890
You're free to go whenever
and... wherever you like.
903
01:12:42,250 --> 01:12:44,130
You've had all
you're having from me.
904
01:12:48,130 --> 01:12:50,370
Seems your husband feels
the same way about you.
905
01:12:51,330 --> 01:12:53,250
He changed his will.
906
01:12:54,570 --> 01:12:56,850
Apparently, he has
a brother in New Zealand.
907
01:12:56,850 --> 01:12:59,130
Who inherits everything.
908
01:13:00,490 --> 01:13:02,450
House, land, cash.
909
01:13:05,690 --> 01:13:08,530
You've seen the will? Oh,
the reference to you is erm...
910
01:13:08,530 --> 01:13:10,490
It's very specific.
911
01:13:12,130 --> 01:13:15,810
'To my wife Eleanor, liar
and cheat, I leave nothing.'
912
01:13:15,810 --> 01:13:18,410
'I would leave her less if I
could.' (CHUCKLES)
913
01:13:21,490 --> 01:13:23,490
I shall contest it.
914
01:13:23,490 --> 01:13:25,650
I'm sure you will.
915
01:13:25,650 --> 01:13:28,570
And I'm just as sure
it'll make no difference.
916
01:13:37,430 --> 01:13:39,190
No, thanks.
917

01:13:49,190 --> 01:13:51,590
Get the painting!

01:13:51,590 --> 01:13:54,030
Oh, leave me in peace, will you?!
920
01:13:56,950 --> 01:13:58,870
Darling? Can you make a salad?
921
01:14:00,030 --> 01:14:02,390
Yeah. What do you want in
it? Lettuce?
922
01:14:02,390 --> 01:14:04,710
Tomato? Fennel? Salad stuff (?)
923
01:14:06,350 --> 01:14:08,470
No problem.
924
01:14:08,470 --> 01:14:11,110
Good day? Erm...
925
01:14:11,110 --> 01:14:13,030
Remains to be seen.
926
01:14:14,510 --> 01:14:16,670
I had two sets of angry parents.
927
01:14:16,670 --> 01:14:18,790
One lot pushy, the
other lot not pushy enough.
928
01:14:20,430 --> 01:14:22,950
I had a bent copper.
929
01:14:22,950 --> 01:14:24,870
Now a dead copper.
930
01:14:26,350 --> 01:14:29,150
And the end of an affair. And lay lines.
931
01:14:29,150 --> 01:14:32,150
Crowcall Circle? Yes.
932
01:14:33,870 --> 01:14:36,310
I'm taking the...6th form
lot up there.
933
01:14:36,310 --> 01:14:38,430
To help at the dig.
What does fennel look like?
934
01:14:38,430 --> 01:14:40,430
Greenish.
935
01:14:55,870 --> 01:14:58,350
So erm...chop it all up, then?
936
01:14:58,350 --> 01:15:00,630
John. It's a salad (!)
937
01:15:00,630 --> 01:15:03,350
What time's dinner, by the
way? Well, I just put
938
01:15:03,350 --> 01:15:05,950
a 4lb chicken in the oven at 180,
so you can work it out.
939
01:15:08,470 --> 01:15:10,670
Why do you want to know?
Oh, I've got to go out again.
940
01:15:12,430 --> 01:15:14,270
When? (MOBILE RINGS)
941
01:15:15,310 --> 01:15:17,990
About now (!)
942
01:15:17,990 --> 01:15:20,150
Barnaby. "He
said to call you, sir."
943
01:15:20,150 --> 01:15:22,150
"He's on the move."
944
01:15:22,150 --> 01:15:24,230
Perfect.
945
01:15:24,230 --> 01:15:25,910

That's enough! No! That's enough!

Caradoc Singer, I'm arresting
you on suspicion of murder.
951
01:16:41,270 --> 01:16:44,830
You do not have to say anything, but
it may harm your defence if you fail
952
01:16:44,830 --> 01:16:48,350
to mention when questioned
something you later rely on in court.
953
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,480
Somewhere off this room...
954
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,920
..there's more to this
house than meets the eye.
955
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,040
Where is the Braque, Singer?
956
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:25,040
Where's what? When I saw you
watching yourself on TV...
957
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,040
..that was filmed in another room.
958
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,280
Never mind.
959
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,080
Sir?
960
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:41,480
Oh!
961
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:45,640
Behind that? Jones?

..Stubbs...Klimt.
967
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:56,960
Just the ones I know.
Must be worth millions.
968
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,800
Local gossip says...
he was penniless.
969
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,400
Lived like a miser.
Well, that was his cover.
970
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,080
No, I should think he's got a
substantial number of offshore accounts.
971
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,960
You are about to enjoy a tour of one of
the world's great art collections.
972
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:30,240
My name is Caradoc Singer.
973
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,640
By the time this is being viewed,
974
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:35,560
I shall have died.
975
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:42,760
But my fame as being one of the world's
great collectors... will live on.
976
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:50,680
It wasn't about appreciation.
It was about ownership.
977
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:52,600
Am I right?
978
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:55,760
It was about appreciation.
979
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,640
Meaning only you could
properly appreciate
980
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,120
the Gorse Meadow treasure.
981
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,000
It was the ultimate collectable.
982
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:08,480
When Alex Preston brought me
the first few items,
983
01:20:08,480 --> 01:20:11,440
I knew...it was
the find of the century.
984
01:20:11,440 --> 01:20:13,360
And I had to have it.
985
01:20:14,440 --> 01:20:16,360
He turned up a snake amulet...
986
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,840
and a brooch.
987
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,800
He didn't know what he'd got.
988
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,880
But he thought I might.
989
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:24,960
And I did.
990
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,600
I'm prepared to make you
a better offer.
991
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,800
For the bracelet?
For whatever you find.
992
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,880
He guessed it was treasure trove.
993
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:33,880
No.
994
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,040
This was close to the surface.
995
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,120
Who knows what's deeper down?
996
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:43,840
Treasure trove? There are laws.
I need to know where I stand.
997
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,040
But Preston proved annoyingly honest.
998
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,960
He wanted to report his find
999
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,000
and take whatever might
be his legal share.
1000
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,440
He went to Trevor Gibson to find out
about the legal position on ownership.
1001
01:20:56,440 --> 01:20:59,600
And Gibson told him
to keep quiet about it.
1002
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:03,520
But Preston mentioned that he
had already shown his find to you.
1003
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,520
Gibson told me...
1004
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,000
he'd consulted some experts.
1005
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,880
Who said the items
were of little interest.
1006
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,360
Of little interest? Please!
1007
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:15,360
I'm not simpleminded!
1008
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,000
I knew what he was up to.
1009
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,440
It was his chance of the good life.
1010
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:27,120
Did Gibson tell you he
was going to kill Preston?
1011
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,720
He hinted. I encouraged.
1012
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:33,000
Which is why Gibson
pretended to have found...
1013
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,280
an Awen brooch at the scene.
1014
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,440
I gave it to him.
1015
01:21:40,440 --> 01:21:43,280
He'll have to die. This'll help.
1016
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,000
Incriminating evidence.
1017
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,080
Easy to manipulate
someone that...needy.
1018
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,520
Preston had to die.
1019
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:58,360
He was about to reveal the location
of the horde to the world.
1020
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:01,640
And taking the body
to Crowcall Circle.
1021
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,280
Disembowelling him.
Whose idea was that?
1022
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:06,200
Again, I might've hinted.
1023
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:12,240
Because people tend to associate druids
with all sorts of er... nasty rituals.
1024
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:16,840
And it was common knowledge that
they and Preston were at loggerheads.
1025
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,760
Something's wrong.
And Leticia Clifford?
1026
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,920
The lay line through
the churches seems to
1027
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:31,760
bypass the circle.
1028
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,840
Perhaps it passes through the spot
where the king stone would've stood.
1029
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,960
She was getting too near the truth.
1030
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,360
And she was right about
the Battle of Hallows Beck
1031
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,000
being fought much closer
to Gorse Meadow, wasn't she?
1032
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:45,960
It was fought IN Gorse Meadow.
1033
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,400
After the battle was
over, the victorious Saxons
1034
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,520
buried the horde and used the king stone
1035
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,560
as a marker.
1036
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,920
Who killed Leticia?
1037
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,080
Oh, Gibson.
1038
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:00,800
Policemen seem quite habituated
to violent death.
1039
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:07,560
But it was your idea.
A hint well taken.
1040
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,320
(SCREAMS)
1041
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,800
And carving the Awen into her forehead?
1042
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:19,440
Would make Ezra Canning
an obvious suspect.
1043
01:23:19,440 --> 01:23:22,680
The Awen...? Embroidery.
1044
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:24,600
In both senses of the word.
1045
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,800
So, was it Gibson's idea to
provoke Jago in the Six Bells?
1046
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,920
Ah, yes. Jago was our wild card.
1047
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:36,760
And, as luck would have it,
he found the body.
1048
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,640
Gibson put the gutted
hare on the blood stone.
1049
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:42,800
Gibson knew you were onto him.
1050
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,480
He made the mistake
all amateur liars make.
1051
01:23:45,480 --> 01:23:48,000
He overcompensated.
1052
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,000
The hare lying dead
on the blood stone.
1053
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,680
He's a poacher, he's also a
thief. When you told him
1054
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:54,680
that you'd confirmed
the fake sightings,
1055
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,680
he knew it was just
a matter of time.
1056
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,240
He called me, said he was going
to make a run for it.
1057
01:24:01,440 --> 01:24:04,120
I'll just disappear. I'll
get a cross-channel ferry -
1058
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:07,360
No, no! They might be waiting
for you to do just that!
1059
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,040
Go home. Don't worry.
I'll think of something.
1060
01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:25,680
You couldn't bring yourself
to bludgeon him to death.
1061
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:29,440
The very thought turned my stomach. But
it was a job that had to be done.
1062
01:24:50,440 --> 01:24:52,600
Gibson didn't tell you...
1063
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:56,520
that he'd kept this, did
he? No.
1064
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,680
But when you said it had been
found by ramblers
1065
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:02,440
and that the archaeological society
were about to open a dig...
1066
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,200
Yes. That was very clever of you.
1067
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:11,640
Tell me. What made you...suspect me?
1068
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,280
What did I do wrong?
1069
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,040
You didn't need to display
the er... the stolen pieces.
1070
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,440
It was enough for you just to
own them. But you couldn't resist
1071
01:25:23,440 --> 01:25:26,160
the idea of having just
one of them out to look at.
1072
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,320
To gloat over.
1073
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,120
The Picasso. I asked
you if it was a copy.
1074
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:35,080
You said it was a fake. But a
Jack Weston. A collectable fake.
1075
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:39,680
You just couldn't bear the
idea of letting me think
1076
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:43,200
that you might possess
something as crude as a copy.
1077
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:45,760
It didn't look like a fake to me.
1078
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:47,640
I checked.
1079
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,520
Jack Weston never copied a Picasso.
1080
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,560
Where will my collection be housed?
1081
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,760
It'll be catalogued
by the Art Squad.
1082
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:02,040
Then everything will be returned
to its rightful owners.
1083
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:05,000
I am the rightful owner.
Not a chance!
1084
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,680
These pieces must be kept together.
1085
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,120
No-one could love them as I do!
1086
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,320
Love and possession
aren't the same thing.
1087
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,240
Didn't anyone ever tell you that?
1088
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,960
It must be shown. It must displayed
for the world to see!
1089
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,320
Nah.
1090
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,280
It'll just be a little paragraph
at the bottom of page five (!)
1091
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,440
The story of a common criminal.
1092
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,440
The Picasso was a mistake.
1093
01:26:36,440 --> 01:26:38,440
But your biggest error
1094
01:26:38,440 --> 01:26:40,520
was something you couldn't avoid.
1095
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,000
Something that makes
you the person you are.
1096
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:48,760
Something...the gods always punish.
1097
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:53,120
You want this to be
your enduring legacy?
1098
01:26:54,480 --> 01:26:56,720
No. This will only be seen
1099
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,600
..as prosecution exhibit number one.
1100
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:05,320
Then never to be seen
or exhibited again.
1101
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:26,960
What was it?
1102
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:29,000
The thing the gods always punish?
1103
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,120
Hubris, Jones. Arrogance.
1104
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:36,240
Caradoc Singer is directly
responsible for three deaths.
1105
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,560
And his so-called love of art
is really nothing but self-love.
1106
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:41,480
Which never ends well.
1107
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:54,560
Mrs Barnaby? What is it?
1108
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,960
It looks like a Saxon cloak brooch.
1109
01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:58,840
Could be solid gold.
1110
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:00,440
Oh, wow!
1111
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,760
Look! Solid gold.
1112
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:07,160
It's part of a Saxon horde
that's lain here for 1,000 years.
1113
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:09,480
It's a cloak brooch.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
1114
01:28:09,480 --> 01:28:13,280
Worth how much? Ooh, half a million?
Easily. Maybe more.
1115
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:15,920
(WHISTLES) That much. Really.
1116
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:21,520
Come on.
1117
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:25,440
John? John!
1118
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,160
