Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:18,107 --> 00:00:20,577
Park wherever you like, sir.
2
00:00:26,449 --> 00:00:29,579
- Star chart? Keep an open mind. - No, thank you.
3
00:00:29,682 --> 00:00:31,592
- Thank you. - What's she selling?
4
00:00:31,697 --> 00:00:34,927
(man) Genuine optical-quality lenses fit in the eye sockets.
5
00:00:35,033 --> 00:00:39,343
They're a bargain. £3.50, lads. See? There you are.
6
00:00:42,158 --> 00:00:46,048
Then you can watch the eclipse on the viewing card there.
7
00:00:46,155 --> 00:00:48,445
It's dangerous to look directly at the sun.
8
00:00:48,554 --> 00:00:51,334
And you mustn't use binoculars or a telescope
9
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:54,149
without one of these filters, alright?
10
00:00:54,254 --> 00:00:55,894
Free, courtesy of the observatory.
11
00:00:55,992 --> 00:00:59,432
- (boy) Thank you. - Star chart reading, Professor?
12
00:00:59,538 --> 00:01:01,938
Every life's an uncertain mystery
13
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:03,739
just waiting to be solved.
14
00:01:03,847 --> 00:01:05,237
No, thank you.
15
00:01:05,342 --> 00:01:08,402
Believe it or leave it, but give it a read.
16
00:01:08,504 --> 00:01:10,524
Right.
17
00:01:10,625 --> 00:01:13,055
Peter.
18
00:01:22,650 --> 00:01:23,730
Have you seen Jeremy?
19
00:01:23,833 --> 00:01:25,713
He's in the astrodome, I think.
20
00:01:25,814 --> 00:01:27,904
The rate of a pulsating star's oscillation
21
00:01:28,003 --> 00:01:31,133
is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.
22
00:01:31,235 --> 00:01:33,625
- So when the... - You've lost me, Gagan.
23
00:01:33,738 --> 00:01:36,308
I'm having complete brain failure.
24
00:01:36,415 --> 00:01:39,745
It's great. When was the astrodome built, Jeremy?
25
00:01:39,856 --> 00:01:44,196
1936 by Tom Stanton, a local landowner.
26
00:01:44,304 --> 00:01:46,154
He was a keen amateur astronomer.
27
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:48,550
(woman) Is it still being used by the amateurs?
28
00:01:48,649 --> 00:01:50,799
Yes, although...
29
00:01:50,909 --> 00:01:56,229
We... need to speak. In private.
30
00:01:58,242 --> 00:02:02,412
Catch me later. I've got a much bigger story for you.
31
00:02:13,152 --> 00:02:17,222
No consultation, no discussion, just sheer damned arrogance.
32
00:02:17,323 --> 00:02:20,973
You should have come to me before firing off letters.
33
00:02:21,077 --> 00:02:23,997
I will write to who the hell I like.
34
00:02:26,778 --> 00:02:30,768
You've crossed a line, Jeremy. Keep your nose out.
35
00:02:33,903 --> 00:02:38,773
It's not gonna happen, Lawrence. The university has no right.
36
00:02:38,873 --> 00:02:41,133
Darling?
37
00:02:41,235 --> 00:02:43,635
Don't darling me.
38
00:02:43,739 --> 00:02:46,829
What's going on? Does he know?
39
00:02:46,937 --> 00:02:50,337
No. He's got that to come.
40
00:02:54,965 --> 00:02:57,395
Gagan.
41
00:03:30,243 --> 00:03:33,863
(Jones) Amazing. How weird is that?
42
00:03:34,902 --> 00:03:37,542
Ominously strange.
43
00:04:33,466 --> 00:04:36,726
(woman screams)
44
00:04:38,158 --> 00:04:40,908
- (woman screams) - Over there, I think.
45
00:04:41,008 --> 00:04:43,648
(woman) Sounded like a scream.
46
00:04:46,709 --> 00:04:49,179
What is it? What's up, love?
47
00:04:49,629 --> 00:04:52,059
There.
48
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:35,332
Here you go, sir.
49
00:05:40,304 --> 00:05:43,474
Victim's name is Jeremy Harper, sir.
50
00:05:43,571 --> 00:05:46,251
Aged 42. From Midsomer Stanton.
51
00:05:46,351 --> 00:05:49,761
His wife Catrina is up there.
52
00:05:51,287 --> 00:05:52,847
The other lady is Margaret Dormer,
53
00:05:52,956 --> 00:05:54,376
known locally as Mystic Mags,
54
00:05:54,485 --> 00:05:57,435
does readings, star chart stuff.
55
00:05:59,142 --> 00:06:03,282
The rock cracked his head open like a coconut. Feel the weight.
56
00:06:03,383 --> 00:06:06,553
That Mystic Mags says it's a meteorite.
57
00:06:06,650 --> 00:06:10,540
- Who's gonna believe that? - It's possible.
58
00:06:12,072 --> 00:06:14,372
This has a magnetic end.
59
00:06:14,470 --> 00:06:17,150
Huh. See? Could be a meteorite.
60
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:21,280
It'll need testing. And there are traces of red fibre.
61
00:06:21,387 --> 00:06:24,447
Gloves, or maybe some sort of material
62
00:06:24,549 --> 00:06:26,809
used to wrap the rock before wielding it.
63
00:06:26,913 --> 00:06:28,553
Peter Groves, a local plumber,
64
00:06:28,652 --> 00:06:31,222
says Jeremy had a row with Lawrence Janson,
65
00:06:31,327 --> 00:06:33,547
director of the university observatory.
66
00:06:33,656 --> 00:06:35,636
Doesn't know what about, though.
67
00:06:35,741 --> 00:06:39,531
OK, bag and tag everything and get it over to forensics.
68
00:06:39,634 --> 00:06:43,254
- I looked down, I screamed. - Thank you, madam.
69
00:06:44,535 --> 00:06:47,275
Oh, Chief Inspector Barnaby.
70
00:06:47,385 --> 00:06:48,875
Have we met before?
71
00:06:48,984 --> 00:06:51,104
I've seen your picture in the paper times enough.
72
00:06:51,208 --> 00:06:53,148
I work for the Mercury.
73
00:06:53,259 --> 00:06:58,889
I do the horoscopes, births, marriages and... deaths.
74
00:06:58,995 --> 00:07:01,665
What can you tell me about Mr Harper's death?
75
00:07:01,775 --> 00:07:07,745
(sighs) During a total eclipse of the sun, chaos prevails.
76
00:07:07,857 --> 00:07:10,357
For days, secrets and betrayals will out.
77
00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:12,864
And what exactly did you see?
78
00:07:12,967 --> 00:07:14,427
The sun had gone
79
00:07:14,531 --> 00:07:19,291
and then I heard a sort of... a crack
80
00:07:19,396 --> 00:07:23,006
and then a thud... and I looked down.
81
00:07:23,115 --> 00:07:26,625
He was lying... dead.
82
00:07:29,301 --> 00:07:32,571
Moonstone Ridge is cursed.
83
00:07:32,674 --> 00:07:34,454
Really?
84
00:07:35,593 --> 00:07:38,903
With all your powers of divination,
85
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,260
perhaps you can tell me who did this.
86
00:07:41,363 --> 00:07:47,243
No. No, I foretell the future, Inspector.
87
00:07:47,341 --> 00:07:52,071
The past and all its mysteries is your department.
88
00:07:53,876 --> 00:07:55,886
- What on earth are we gonna do? - We wait.
89
00:07:55,996 --> 00:07:58,316
- How long? - I calculate seven days.
90
00:07:58,429 --> 00:08:00,199
Then we'll know for sure.
91
00:08:01,243 --> 00:08:03,993
- Gagan! - My dad.
92
00:08:04,093 --> 00:08:06,563
Run me to the university, Pete.
93
00:08:06,666 --> 00:08:09,166
Like now.
94
00:08:13,130 --> 00:08:14,730
Gagan!
95
00:08:14,834 --> 00:08:17,754
Have a day off, Harry, will you?
96
00:08:25,295 --> 00:08:27,825
My gran used to tell us bedtime stories
97
00:08:27,937 --> 00:08:30,157
about the curse of Moonstone Ridge.
98
00:08:30,266 --> 00:08:31,856
What is this curse?
99
00:08:31,969 --> 00:08:35,309
Strange visitors, she said. Cars conking out suddenly.
100
00:08:35,410 --> 00:08:37,810
People coming back moonstruck like the walking dead.
101
00:08:37,912 --> 00:08:39,302
Scared us sleepless.
102
00:08:39,407 --> 00:08:41,417
I've given Jeremy's laptop and mobile
103
00:08:41,527 --> 00:08:42,667
to your people.
104
00:08:42,779 --> 00:08:44,239
Thank you, Mrs Harper.
105
00:08:44,342 --> 00:08:48,482
Are you sure you're OK to answer a few questions for us?
106
00:08:48,583 --> 00:08:51,263
I'm fine.
107
00:08:51,363 --> 00:08:54,773
So, you and your husband Jeremy ran the tea rooms?
108
00:08:54,874 --> 00:08:56,334
And the museum.
109
00:08:56,438 --> 00:08:59,178
We live here on a sort of grace and favour basis.
110
00:08:59,288 --> 00:09:04,328
Jeremy's... was chair of the parish council.
111
00:09:04,432 --> 00:09:06,202
Tom Stanton, that's him in the photo,
112
00:09:06,309 --> 00:09:09,439
left the place to the parish to house his bits and pieces.
113
00:09:09,541 --> 00:09:12,501
- Ah, the Stanton Bequest. - Yes.
114
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,900
He also gifted Moonstone Ridge, the Stanton astrodome
115
00:09:16,005 --> 00:09:18,085
and the land for the university observatory.
116
00:09:18,195 --> 00:09:20,625
I work there part time
117
00:09:20,733 --> 00:09:24,213
as secretary to the director, Lawrence Janson.
118
00:09:24,313 --> 00:09:26,403
What can you tell us about him?
119
00:09:26,503 --> 00:09:30,743
He's a workaholic. The observatory's his life.
120
00:09:30,848 --> 00:09:34,248
It says here these rocks are lunar fragments.
121
00:09:34,358 --> 00:09:38,038
There was a meteor shower up on the ridge many moons ago.
122
00:09:38,146 --> 00:09:39,876
The spearheads and the moonstone discs
123
00:09:39,989 --> 00:09:41,759
were also found up there.
124
00:09:41,866 --> 00:09:43,426
It's a Bronze Age site.
125
00:09:43,533 --> 00:09:46,983
And your husband was also an enthusiastic astronomer.
126
00:09:47,078 --> 00:09:48,888
A passionate amateur.
127
00:09:48,991 --> 00:09:50,621
Wedded to star watching.
128
00:09:50,728 --> 00:09:52,608
Chair of the Astronomical Society
129
00:09:52,709 --> 00:09:54,379
and the Heritage Society.
130
00:09:54,482 --> 00:09:57,752
Jeremy always had more pies than fingers to put in them.
131
00:09:57,854 --> 00:10:00,114
He liked to run things.
132
00:10:01,086 --> 00:10:02,886
Peter Groves, the plumber,
133
00:10:02,998 --> 00:10:04,278
he says he witnessed a row
134
00:10:04,387 --> 00:10:05,917
between your husband
135
00:10:06,021 --> 00:10:08,421
and Lawrence Janson at the eclipse.
136
00:10:09,358 --> 00:10:11,648
Yes.
137
00:10:12,278 --> 00:10:13,738
It was...
138
00:10:16,691 --> 00:10:17,871
Sorry.
139
00:10:17,978 --> 00:10:21,938
- Would you like to stop? - No, no.
140
00:10:23,748 --> 00:10:26,668
This is hard.
141
00:10:26,772 --> 00:10:28,062
You see, my sister Mary
142
00:10:28,161 --> 00:10:31,641
was found dead up on the ridge years ago.
143
00:10:32,993 --> 00:10:35,463
I...
144
00:10:36,642 --> 00:10:39,212
I'm sorry.
145
00:10:47,416 --> 00:10:51,206
You question Peter again. I'll tackle Lawrence.
146
00:10:51,309 --> 00:10:54,679
And look into the death of her sister.
147
00:10:54,785 --> 00:10:58,225
If the rock that killed Jeremy was a lunar fragment,
148
00:10:58,331 --> 00:11:02,681
like those in the museum, you could say he'd been moonstruck.
149
00:11:02,779 --> 00:11:05,039
- Hmm? - The moonstone curse, sir.
150
00:11:05,142 --> 00:11:07,652
Maybe there's something in it.
151
00:11:08,827 --> 00:11:11,987
(Gagan) So, Delta P equals MPC cubed,
152
00:11:12,094 --> 00:11:15,954
which also equals the sum of delta by the sum of MPC
153
00:11:16,057 --> 00:11:19,947
equals delta by MC squared to the power of two over MPC cubed,
154
00:11:20,053 --> 00:11:24,163
where MP is mass of the proton and D is energy.
155
00:11:25,267 --> 00:11:27,797
Very interesting.
156
00:11:27,909 --> 00:11:31,069
Let me have a read of your thesis and I'll get back to you.
157
00:11:31,175 --> 00:11:34,505
- That's all. - Great. Yes.
158
00:11:34,616 --> 00:11:37,116
Thanks, Lawrence.
159
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:48,309
- You encouraging her in this? - No, it's all her own work.
160
00:11:48,415 --> 00:11:50,945
The girl has a brain the size of a planet.
161
00:11:51,057 --> 00:11:52,517
And an ego to match.
162
00:11:52,621 --> 00:11:54,951
The arrogance of youth, perhaps.
163
00:11:55,053 --> 00:11:57,703
But such an elegant critique of your theory, don't you think?
164
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,990
This is no time for anything that undermines me
165
00:12:00,093 --> 00:12:01,763
or the prestige of the observatory.
166
00:12:01,867 --> 00:12:03,637
And you know the trouble this place is in
167
00:12:03,744 --> 00:12:05,664
since Jeremy Harper shot his mouth off.
168
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:07,529
That's an administrative problem.
169
00:12:07,636 --> 00:12:13,056
Gagan's mathematics are consummate. Pure science.
170
00:12:14,275 --> 00:12:16,875
That's all that matters to me.
171
00:12:21,156 --> 00:12:23,826
So, what's a plumber doing with a dish like that?
172
00:12:23,938 --> 00:12:26,408
It's radio telescope, bounces deep-space signals
173
00:12:26,509 --> 00:12:28,039
back into the feed.
174
00:12:28,142 --> 00:12:31,792
- Signals from what? - Stars, planets, galaxies.
175
00:12:31,897 --> 00:12:33,247
Little brown dwarfs.
176
00:12:33,356 --> 00:12:35,506
Any little green men been in touch?
177
00:12:35,615 --> 00:12:38,915
There's a billion galaxies in the multiverse, Sergeant.
178
00:12:39,021 --> 00:12:41,001
Odds on someone's trying to reach us.
179
00:12:41,107 --> 00:12:42,597
You really believe that?
180
00:12:42,706 --> 00:12:44,856
We've had UFOs on Moonstone Ridge.
181
00:12:44,965 --> 00:12:47,115
And then, of course, there are the visitors.
182
00:12:47,223 --> 00:12:51,363
- What sort of visitors? - Extraterrestrials.
183
00:12:51,464 --> 00:12:54,144
Moon-like faces, or so they say.
184
00:12:54,244 --> 00:12:58,214
(grunts) You told me you'd seen Jeremy
185
00:12:58,311 --> 00:13:00,571
having an argument with Lawrence Janson
186
00:13:00,675 --> 00:13:01,675
before he was murdered.
187
00:13:01,788 --> 00:13:03,388
Yeah. I've no idea what about.
188
00:13:03,490 --> 00:13:07,700
But you were friends with Jeremy in the astronomy society?
189
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,440
I think friends is over-egging it.
190
00:13:10,546 --> 00:13:12,946
Never really got close to Jeremy.
191
00:13:13,048 --> 00:13:14,748
We worked on stuff together,
192
00:13:14,856 --> 00:13:17,076
him, George Dormer, Gagan and me.
193
00:13:17,184 --> 00:13:20,804
Analysing data sets from space missions. Telescope downloads.
194
00:13:20,904 --> 00:13:24,004
Can you think of any reason why someone would want to kill him?
195
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:26,640
Well, he was a top-class pain.
196
00:13:26,743 --> 00:13:29,043
But, no, it's probably just some nutter.
197
00:13:29,141 --> 00:13:30,881
There's plenty of them out there.
198
00:13:30,984 --> 00:13:34,464
Yeah, I meet a lot of them in my line of work.
199
00:13:34,563 --> 00:13:38,283
(Close Encounters ringtone)
200
00:13:38,386 --> 00:13:41,376
Sorry, ET calling. Excuse me.
201
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,620
Aquarian Systems. Ah, yes, hello there.
202
00:13:52,568 --> 00:13:54,408
Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.
203
00:13:54,513 --> 00:13:56,323
Lawrence Janson, Director.
204
00:13:56,425 --> 00:13:58,645
This is Professor Adrian Sharp.
205
00:13:58,754 --> 00:14:01,224
Hello.
206
00:14:01,326 --> 00:14:02,786
Ah.
207
00:14:02,891 --> 00:14:05,501
Are you familiar with the uncertainty principle?
208
00:14:05,601 --> 00:14:10,081
- Um... I'm not really sure. - Prime law of quantum physics.
209
00:14:10,189 --> 00:14:13,419
How you look at things affects what you believe you see.
210
00:14:13,526 --> 00:14:15,086
That's also the first law
211
00:14:15,193 --> 00:14:17,143
of criminal investigation, Professor.
212
00:14:17,244 --> 00:14:20,164
Ah, yes. Just one moment.
213
00:14:20,268 --> 00:14:24,158
Dr Janson, I understand you had an argument with Jeremy Harper
214
00:14:24,265 --> 00:14:26,105
on Moonstone Ridge just before the eclipse.
215
00:14:26,212 --> 00:14:28,992
Yes. Handbags at ten paces stuff.
216
00:14:29,096 --> 00:14:31,596
Jeremy was always picking a fight.
217
00:14:31,703 --> 00:14:33,553
About what?
218
00:14:34,693 --> 00:14:36,153
He was hostile
219
00:14:36,257 --> 00:14:39,177
to certain developments we have in mind for the ridge.
220
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,690
Chief Inspector, the rock your forensics people
221
00:14:42,791 --> 00:14:47,551
sent us for examination, it's definitely a meteorite.
222
00:14:47,657 --> 00:14:51,267
I'll leave you with Adrian, Chief Inspector.
223
00:14:51,376 --> 00:14:52,866
It has a dark crust
224
00:14:52,975 --> 00:14:55,195
caused by the friction heat of atmospheric entry.
225
00:14:55,303 --> 00:14:58,713
Very dense matter, probably iron and nickel.
226
00:14:58,814 --> 00:15:02,464
There's megatons of metal floating about out there.
227
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:05,278
Carbon compressed to its deepest density,
228
00:15:05,383 --> 00:15:06,953
sucked into black holes.
229
00:15:07,051 --> 00:15:11,051
Which is probably where our own planet will end its days.
230
00:15:11,153 --> 00:15:15,083
- A cheery thought. - Depends how you look at it.
231
00:15:15,184 --> 00:15:18,904
In the final analysis, we're all stardust.
232
00:15:30,025 --> 00:15:33,775
Jones, find out some more about Lawrence Janson.
233
00:15:33,884 --> 00:15:37,534
Oh, and check out Panelsun International
234
00:15:37,638 --> 00:15:40,068
while you're about it.
235
00:15:45,667 --> 00:15:49,277
Where's the damn story, Tanya? Where's the grabby headline?
236
00:15:49,385 --> 00:15:52,825
- It's a murder, Mr Clough. - That's yesterday's news.
237
00:15:52,931 --> 00:15:56,961
It'll soon be all over the telly. Get ahead of the curve!
238
00:15:57,066 --> 00:15:58,346
You should be out there digging,
239
00:15:58,457 --> 00:16:00,297
not sat in here bump-starting your brain.
240
00:16:00,403 --> 00:16:02,803
Yes, Mr Clough. I'll find a story.
241
00:16:02,907 --> 00:16:07,177
You couldn't find your backside with the light on, Tanya.
242
00:16:07,285 --> 00:16:10,895
And as for you, Mystic Mags, our readers don't want all this guff
243
00:16:11,004 --> 00:16:13,824
about global community of awakened souls.
244
00:16:13,924 --> 00:16:15,494
They wanna know if they're gonna cop off
245
00:16:15,592 --> 00:16:18,342
with a tall dark stranger who's heaven on earth.
246
00:16:18,443 --> 00:16:21,953
- Spice it up, love. - Right, got you, yes.
247
00:16:22,057 --> 00:16:26,537
This newspaper is on the edge. Simple as a pimple, ladies.
248
00:16:26,645 --> 00:16:30,605
Boost circulation or your future is gonna be in the past.
249
00:16:30,712 --> 00:16:33,112
The pair of you.
250
00:16:34,222 --> 00:16:36,482
- Philistine! - (door slams)
251
00:16:37,941 --> 00:16:39,571
But he's right.
252
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:43,049
We need a new angle on this murder story.
253
00:16:43,154 --> 00:16:45,144
OK.
254
00:16:45,239 --> 00:16:51,639
I have got an idea which I think will raise a few eyebrows.
255
00:16:51,740 --> 00:16:54,210
Take a look at this.
256
00:17:01,054 --> 00:17:03,284
Anything more on Peter the plumber?
257
00:17:03,383 --> 00:17:05,613
He's on a planet with the pixies, sir.
258
00:17:05,712 --> 00:17:08,882
Spent most of the time talking about extraterrestrial life.
259
00:17:08,980 --> 00:17:12,980
Ah, the Goldilocks zone. Not heard of it, Jones?
260
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,340
- Are we on the three bears now? - (chuckles)
261
00:17:15,444 --> 00:17:17,814
The theory that life may exist
262
00:17:17,912 --> 00:17:20,002
on a habitable planet somewhere out there,
263
00:17:20,101 --> 00:17:22,471
one that's not too small and not too big
264
00:17:22,569 --> 00:17:27,299
and not too hot and not too cold, but just right.
265
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,500
Lawrence Janson took over the observatory three years ago.
266
00:17:31,605 --> 00:17:34,625
- And Panelsun International? - He brought them in.
267
00:17:34,734 --> 00:17:39,044
Big solar energy company, very green, environmentalist outfit.
268
00:17:39,148 --> 00:17:40,538
They gifted the observatory
269
00:17:40,643 --> 00:17:43,113
a three-year grant of two million quid.
270
00:17:43,214 --> 00:17:45,304
So that funding's up for renewal.
271
00:17:45,404 --> 00:17:49,614
Could be, yeah. And I ran through Jeremy's mobile.
272
00:17:49,714 --> 00:17:52,604
There's a few threatening emails on there to Lawrence.
273
00:17:52,703 --> 00:17:54,413
Threatening what?
274
00:17:54,511 --> 00:17:57,081
Apparently Jeremy got wind that Lawrence planned to close down
275
00:17:57,186 --> 00:17:58,576
the old Stanton astrodome
276
00:17:58,682 --> 00:18:00,942
and build a new university facility
277
00:18:01,044 --> 00:18:02,644
on part of Moonstone Ridge.
278
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:03,998
Jeremy wrote to Panelsun
279
00:18:04,103 --> 00:18:05,913
and threatened a mass campaign against it.
280
00:18:06,014 --> 00:18:09,674
Oh, so that's what their row was about, then.
281
00:18:09,769 --> 00:18:11,189
Lawrence would be furious.
282
00:18:11,298 --> 00:18:13,308
Jeremy was threatening his funding.
283
00:18:13,418 --> 00:18:19,118
And I read through the files on Catrina's sister, Mary.
284
00:18:19,223 --> 00:18:23,503
She was married to Harmendra Dutta, a local chemist.
285
00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:27,572
Her body was found on Moonstone Ridge 15 years ago.
286
00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:30,069
Kate's checking the pathology reports.
287
00:18:30,171 --> 00:18:31,391
There were suspicions...
288
00:18:31,492 --> 00:18:34,692
Have you seen the paper, Jones?
289
00:18:34,794 --> 00:18:36,084
"Mercury's Mystic Mags
290
00:18:36,184 --> 00:18:39,314
predicted Murder on Moonstone Ridge."
291
00:18:39,417 --> 00:18:42,887
"Mystic Mags told our reporter that Jeremy Harper's death
292
00:18:42,996 --> 00:18:45,146
was written in the stars."
293
00:18:45,255 --> 00:18:46,785
That's baloney.
294
00:18:46,890 --> 00:18:50,160
She was standing closest to Jeremy when he was killed.
295
00:18:50,260 --> 00:18:52,800
Maybe she knows more than she's said.
296
00:19:05,102 --> 00:19:07,882
Why did you do it?
297
00:19:07,987 --> 00:19:11,387
- I had to. - It's murder, Mags.
298
00:19:11,497 --> 00:19:13,507
If the police start digging into the past,
299
00:19:13,618 --> 00:19:15,698
who knows where it will lead?
300
00:19:15,808 --> 00:19:19,978
They won't find out. How can they?
301
00:19:20,082 --> 00:19:22,762
It's not a clever stroke to pull.
302
00:19:22,863 --> 00:19:25,403
Not clever at all.
303
00:19:40,345 --> 00:19:41,765
Have you put my diary somewhere?
304
00:19:41,876 --> 00:19:44,686
It's in the hall by the phone.
305
00:19:45,837 --> 00:19:48,337
Ah, there it is.
306
00:19:48,444 --> 00:19:50,324
Thank you, darling.
307
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:53,900
Oh... Sorry, sorry.
308
00:19:54,005 --> 00:19:56,365
Um...
309
00:19:56,473 --> 00:19:59,013
My mobile. I can't find my mobile anywhere.
310
00:19:59,113 --> 00:20:02,803
Mine's on the desk. Ring yours and you'll find it.
311
00:20:02,903 --> 00:20:05,723
And you call yourself a detective.
312
00:20:08,464 --> 00:20:09,994
Breathe. Stop stressing.
313
00:20:10,097 --> 00:20:13,047
I'm breathing, I'm breathing.
314
00:20:13,782 --> 00:20:15,382
(phone rings)
315
00:20:15,485 --> 00:20:17,945
Ah.
316
00:20:21,394 --> 00:20:23,344
Got it. Thanks, darling. Bye.
317
00:20:23,444 --> 00:20:26,294
I've got yoga after school.
318
00:20:26,398 --> 00:20:28,868
Yeah. I'll cook.
319
00:20:31,682 --> 00:20:35,852
Sorry to... crash your karma.
320
00:20:37,312 --> 00:20:39,612
Bye.
321
00:20:43,568 --> 00:20:45,828
Right, Sykes.
322
00:21:02,163 --> 00:21:06,093
George, the police are coming round. That's probably them now.
323
00:21:06,195 --> 00:21:09,285
I told you they'd start digging around.
324
00:21:09,393 --> 00:21:10,643
I'll be in my shed.
325
00:21:10,748 --> 00:21:12,658
You were in your shed all last night.
326
00:21:12,764 --> 00:21:16,074
I was on moon watch. You have to do it in the dark.
327
00:21:16,170 --> 00:21:19,960
I wouldn't mind a husband whose idea of doing it in the dark
328
00:21:20,062 --> 00:21:23,752
was a bit more exciting than staring at the bloody moon.
329
00:21:26,041 --> 00:21:30,281
Hello, Inspector. Come in.
330
00:21:37,442 --> 00:21:40,812
You predicted Jeremy's murder.
331
00:21:40,917 --> 00:21:42,447
Yes, that's right.
332
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:45,191
Crystal ball, was it, or did you read his tea leaves?
333
00:21:45,297 --> 00:21:50,057
I'm an astrologer, Sergeant, not a fairground fortune teller.
334
00:21:51,171 --> 00:21:54,721
What exactly is the difference?
335
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:56,180
Astrology is the application
336
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,100
of cosmic principles to everyday life.
337
00:21:59,199 --> 00:22:02,609
We are what our stars make us.
338
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,180
Scorpio, right?
339
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:08,862
- Was that a guess? - You're a police officer.
340
00:22:08,966 --> 00:22:12,546
Scorpio forever chases Orion, the hunter, the killer,
341
00:22:12,650 --> 00:22:14,150
across the night skies.
342
00:22:14,249 --> 00:22:16,089
Ah.
343
00:22:16,196 --> 00:22:20,436
So you drew up Jeremy's star chart for him before his death?
344
00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:25,160
No, it was his wife Catrina who came to me for a reading.
345
00:22:25,267 --> 00:22:26,937
Is she a regular of yours?
346
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:32,429
No, but she had some... domestic turbulence, shall we say?
347
00:22:32,532 --> 00:22:37,642
I told her that her nearest and dearest were in danger.
348
00:22:37,745 --> 00:22:40,975
Was that the extent of your prediction?
349
00:22:42,507 --> 00:22:44,247
I was right, wasn't I?
350
00:22:44,349 --> 00:22:46,679
May I see this star chart, please?
351
00:22:46,782 --> 00:22:49,702
No, sorry, it's confidential.
352
00:22:49,806 --> 00:22:53,516
Confidential? It's on the front page of the newspaper.
353
00:22:53,630 --> 00:22:55,610
You're just drumming up business for yourself.
354
00:22:55,715 --> 00:22:58,905
I have had one or two extra bookings on the strength of it.
355
00:22:59,016 --> 00:23:02,976
Is it true you were with Catrina's sister, Mary,
356
00:23:03,082 --> 00:23:04,962
the night she died?
357
00:23:05,063 --> 00:23:09,413
Well, that was 15 years ago. There was a party here.
358
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:11,703
Mary left, went home to Harry, her husband,
359
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:17,297
and... and that was the last we ever saw of her.
360
00:23:19,105 --> 00:23:22,895
Well, thank you. I'm sure we'll be seeing you again soon.
361
00:23:22,999 --> 00:23:26,649
But presumably you already knew that.
362
00:23:31,584 --> 00:23:34,194
I'm sorry you're not a believer, Sergeant.
363
00:23:34,295 --> 00:23:37,385
You should explore your star chart one of these days.
364
00:23:37,492 --> 00:23:40,862
The unexamined life is not worth living.
365
00:23:45,243 --> 00:23:47,403
I was fuming when I read it.
366
00:23:47,503 --> 00:23:49,553
I phoned Mags, tore her off a strip.
367
00:23:49,658 --> 00:23:52,018
So her prediction was bogus, then?
368
00:23:52,125 --> 00:23:55,005
No. She did tell me someone very close to me
369
00:23:55,114 --> 00:23:57,244
was in mortal danger.
370
00:23:57,339 --> 00:24:01,649
Mags mentioned some domestic troubles.
371
00:24:03,838 --> 00:24:05,958
Jeremy and I...
372
00:24:06,063 --> 00:24:09,753
Our marriage was never easy. Jeremy didn't want a partner.
373
00:24:09,852 --> 00:24:12,222
He wanted a mouse-wife who'd never challenge him.
374
00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:14,649
We found some emails on Jeremy's phone,
375
00:24:14,752 --> 00:24:16,942
about the university observatory's plans
376
00:24:17,046 --> 00:24:20,376
to extend onto Moonstone Ridge.
377
00:24:21,808 --> 00:24:23,408
He went into my laptop,
378
00:24:23,511 --> 00:24:27,131
found several letters I'd typed for Lawrence about the plans.
379
00:24:27,229 --> 00:24:29,659
That's why they were at loggerheads.
380
00:24:29,767 --> 00:24:33,687
- That the only reason? - Yes.
381
00:24:34,737 --> 00:24:36,997
Look, Chief Inspector,
382
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,950
this funding problem, it's not public.
383
00:24:40,054 --> 00:24:44,164
There are delicate negotiations involved.
384
00:24:44,261 --> 00:24:48,431
- About your sister, Mary... - (door opens)
385
00:24:48,536 --> 00:24:51,626
I don't know what happened to her. Please excuse me.
386
00:24:51,733 --> 00:24:56,673
Of course, and thank you for being so frank with us.
387
00:25:00,179 --> 00:25:03,449
- She's lying. - How's that, sir?
388
00:25:03,551 --> 00:25:06,991
What kind of husband searches through his wife's email?
389
00:25:07,096 --> 00:25:09,316
The kind that thinks she's having an affair?
390
00:25:09,424 --> 00:25:11,754
Wouldn't be the first time a secretary and her boss
391
00:25:11,858 --> 00:25:13,768
had got together.
392
00:25:13,874 --> 00:25:19,334
Maybe it's Lawrence, then. Crime of passion.
393
00:25:19,435 --> 00:25:20,785
But it's weird, sir,
394
00:25:20,895 --> 00:25:23,075
Mags predicting Jeremy's death like that,
395
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:25,028
and she knew you were a Scorpio.
396
00:25:25,135 --> 00:25:27,845
Maybe she does have mystic powers.
397
00:25:27,951 --> 00:25:31,391
Right, Harry the chemist next, sir.
398
00:25:31,495 --> 00:25:36,325
Or Mags fulfilled her own prophecy to boost her business.
399
00:25:36,431 --> 00:25:39,001
What, Mags killed Jeremy?
400
00:25:39,106 --> 00:25:40,596
Well, stranger things have happened
401
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:43,726
when the moon's full and the rent's due.
402
00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:48,114
I was studying the eclipse as part of my PhD.
403
00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:50,963
I just heard a scream and Jeremy was lying there.
404
00:25:51,063 --> 00:25:53,713
- Awful. - You knew him?
405
00:25:53,809 --> 00:25:55,929
From the Astronomical Society, yes.
406
00:25:56,033 --> 00:25:58,683
Sorry. I need to get these prescriptions out.
407
00:25:58,780 --> 00:26:01,180
Fine. Thank you.
408
00:26:01,977 --> 00:26:05,097
Here. Just in case.
409
00:26:05,210 --> 00:26:07,430
Thanks.
410
00:26:08,546 --> 00:26:10,596
(Harry) She works so hard, helping me out
411
00:26:10,702 --> 00:26:12,372
as well as doing her studies.
412
00:26:12,473 --> 00:26:16,783
- Your daughter's name is...? - Gagan, short for Gagandipika.
413
00:26:16,888 --> 00:26:20,918
Lamp of the heavens. She is the light of my life.
414
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:24,330
You were also up at the eclipse?
415
00:26:24,430 --> 00:26:26,970
Yes, but I saw no more than she.
416
00:26:27,071 --> 00:26:31,241
And she's your daughter from your first wife, that right?
417
00:26:31,346 --> 00:26:33,536
My only wife.
418
00:26:33,641 --> 00:26:38,021
Since Mary died, I've been wedded to a single life.
419
00:26:38,124 --> 00:26:41,844
I understand there was some question around her death.
420
00:26:41,948 --> 00:26:45,808
Mary was at a party at the Dormers.
421
00:26:45,910 --> 00:26:47,820
Jeremy was there.
422
00:26:47,926 --> 00:26:51,326
Alcohol to them is what water is to fish.
423
00:26:51,436 --> 00:26:54,036
They all lied together about what happened to Mary,
424
00:26:54,147 --> 00:26:55,777
and now that same astronomical set
425
00:26:55,885 --> 00:26:58,975
has pulled in my daughter, Chief Inspector.
426
00:27:04,818 --> 00:27:06,758
(Catrina) I just can't believe it's happened.
427
00:27:06,869 --> 00:27:07,909
(Lawrence) No.
428
00:27:08,015 --> 00:27:09,815
The police were here twice,
429
00:27:09,927 --> 00:27:12,917
asking about you and Jeremy.
430
00:27:13,020 --> 00:27:15,110
- You didn't tell them about us? - No.
431
00:27:15,210 --> 00:27:19,560
I thought that'd make them suspect you more.
432
00:27:19,659 --> 00:27:22,019
Suspect me?
433
00:27:22,126 --> 00:27:27,686
Jeremy was a bumptious prat, but I certainly didn't kill him.
434
00:27:27,793 --> 00:27:30,573
- You don't think I did it? - No.
435
00:27:30,677 --> 00:27:32,827
I'm not accusing you, no, but...
436
00:27:32,937 --> 00:27:35,017
But what?
437
00:27:35,125 --> 00:27:39,015
I no more killed Jeremy, darling, than you did.
438
00:27:40,966 --> 00:27:43,146
Course not.
439
00:27:43,259 --> 00:27:45,659
I'm sorry, I...
440
00:27:47,464 --> 00:27:49,724
Yeah, it's OK.
441
00:27:51,114 --> 00:27:54,634
Though you were right not to mention this to the police.
442
00:27:54,729 --> 00:27:56,989
What good would it do?
443
00:28:01,123 --> 00:28:03,633
Come here.
444
00:28:11,656 --> 00:28:16,036
(Harry) And from the warrior into the triangle.
445
00:28:16,139 --> 00:28:19,439
And reach for the sky.
446
00:28:19,546 --> 00:28:21,766
And back into the warrior.
447
00:28:22,743 --> 00:28:27,713
Yes. And hold on the outward breath.
448
00:28:30,006 --> 00:28:32,436
And relax. Sit, please.
449
00:28:32,545 --> 00:28:36,325
We spoke last week of the three rhythms of life.
450
00:28:36,437 --> 00:28:41,017
The drawing of breath, the beats of the heart,
451
00:28:41,128 --> 00:28:42,968
the waves of the brain.
452
00:28:43,075 --> 00:28:45,815
Today we will activate the third chakra,
453
00:28:45,926 --> 00:28:50,996
the energy of will, power and self-confidence.
454
00:28:51,105 --> 00:28:54,085
Place your palms on your stomach like so
455
00:28:54,197 --> 00:28:56,487
and rotate them gently clockwise.
456
00:28:56,597 --> 00:29:01,107
- And repeat: I am powerful. - (all) I am powerful.
457
00:29:01,218 --> 00:29:04,828
I am the will of creating whatever I desire.
458
00:29:04,939 --> 00:29:09,389
(all) I am the will of creating whatever I desire.
459
00:29:09,491 --> 00:29:14,391
- I desire my tea and biscuits. - (Harry) Quiet, please.
460
00:29:15,538 --> 00:29:17,828
- (Harry) Goodbye. - (woman) Bye.
461
00:29:17,938 --> 00:29:19,678
(Harry) How are your spirits?
462
00:29:19,779 --> 00:29:22,839
- Struggling. - A walk and a talk later?
463
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:26,452
Yeah, I'd like that.
464
00:29:26,557 --> 00:29:28,987
I'll call you.
465
00:29:34,307 --> 00:29:36,247
- Where are you going? - I'll be out tonight.
466
00:29:36,358 --> 00:29:39,028
- When will you be back? - Is this a quiz?
467
00:29:39,138 --> 00:29:40,808
Don't be facetious.
468
00:29:40,912 --> 00:29:44,212
I'll be back in my own good time.
469
00:30:05,380 --> 00:30:07,780
(hums)
470
00:30:12,332 --> 00:30:14,772
(beeps)
471
00:30:31,169 --> 00:30:32,629
(Catrina sighs)
472
00:30:32,734 --> 00:30:35,384
(Harry) Come, you're shaking like an onion paper.
473
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:41,810
- Let me help you. - Please... Harry, don't.
474
00:30:41,911 --> 00:30:45,071
I've loved you a long time and never reached the end of hope.
475
00:30:45,177 --> 00:30:48,447
And I respect you deeply, but I don't...
476
00:30:51,781 --> 00:30:54,111
I'm in a mess.
477
00:30:55,083 --> 00:30:57,723
- I've been having an affair. - What?
478
00:30:57,829 --> 00:31:01,269
My boss at the observatory. Lawrence Janson.
479
00:31:01,374 --> 00:31:04,824
The thing is, I haven't told the police about him and me.
480
00:31:04,919 --> 00:31:07,669
I panicked. I was afraid they'd think I was involved.
481
00:31:07,769 --> 00:31:11,109
- Involved? - Jeremy was...
482
00:31:13,017 --> 00:31:14,757
I can't believe it was Lawrence.
483
00:31:14,860 --> 00:31:17,360
Janson is a snake.
484
00:31:21,950 --> 00:31:24,240
I don't know what to do.
485
00:31:26,469 --> 00:31:30,919
You mind is muddled. You must think straight.
486
00:31:31,021 --> 00:31:33,421
Tell the police your fears.
487
00:31:33,524 --> 00:31:38,604
Fate is not in the stars but in the choices we make.
488
00:31:40,302 --> 00:31:42,772
And a man can kill for love.
489
00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:53,269
(Barnaby) Reading your horoscope?
490
00:31:53,370 --> 00:31:55,040
(Sarah) Uh-huh.
491
00:31:55,142 --> 00:31:57,372
It says with your moon moving into Libra
492
00:31:57,472 --> 00:32:00,502
and Venus squaring Saturn, ex...
493
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,720
Oh. ...expect the unexpected
494
00:32:02,824 --> 00:32:05,084
in you and your partner's love life.
495
00:32:05,187 --> 00:32:09,317
Oh, sounds promising. What's Scorpio?
496
00:32:09,428 --> 00:32:13,458
Jupiter and Saturn promise a change in your beliefs today,
497
00:32:13,565 --> 00:32:16,165
a spark of interest in a new philosophy
498
00:32:16,275 --> 00:32:17,935
or spiritual tradition.
499
00:32:18,047 --> 00:32:20,267
Oh. Complete twaddle.
500
00:32:20,376 --> 00:32:23,956
Yoga. I told you this morning.
501
00:32:24,060 --> 00:32:29,240
You need to de-stress, learn to meditate and visualise.
502
00:32:30,769 --> 00:32:32,089
Do you think Sykes meditates
503
00:32:32,193 --> 00:32:34,003
when he stares into space like that?
504
00:32:34,105 --> 00:32:36,465
- What's he thinking about? - Food.
505
00:32:36,573 --> 00:32:42,833
(chuckles) Probably. Alright, I'll try it, I will.
506
00:32:42,934 --> 00:32:44,714
Really?
507
00:32:44,811 --> 00:32:48,111
OK. Well... Well, how about now? I can show you.
508
00:32:48,216 --> 00:32:52,206
- No, no, not now. - Well, why not now?
509
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,750
Well, I'm...
510
00:32:54,855 --> 00:32:57,425
expecting the unexpected.
511
00:32:58,609 --> 00:33:00,139
(Gagan) It's an eccentric orbit.
512
00:33:00,242 --> 00:33:01,982
Makes calculations double difficult.
513
00:33:02,084 --> 00:33:05,074
- (sighs) - Only five more days, George.
514
00:33:05,178 --> 00:33:08,168
Have you processed the last data sets I downloaded to you?
515
00:33:08,272 --> 00:33:11,262
No, Jeremy was gonna do that.
516
00:33:11,364 --> 00:33:13,804
OK, I'm on it.
517
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:19,361
It said in the Mercury your wife predicted Jeremy's death.
518
00:33:19,463 --> 00:33:21,103
You don't wanna believe everything
519
00:33:21,201 --> 00:33:23,011
you read in the newspaper.
520
00:33:23,112 --> 00:33:25,932
Do either of you know exactly what happened?
521
00:33:26,032 --> 00:33:27,282
No more than you.
522
00:33:27,387 --> 00:33:28,877
Do you think one of us killed him?
523
00:33:28,987 --> 00:33:32,177
Maybe it was the Moonstone curse that did it.
524
00:33:32,288 --> 00:33:33,638
Eh, Peter? Baaah!
525
00:33:33,748 --> 00:33:37,018
I'm frightened, OK? This is not funny.
526
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:41,779
Sorry, sorry. It's tragic, yeah, but stuff happens.
527
00:33:41,882 --> 00:33:43,102
It's nothing to do with us.
528
00:33:43,202 --> 00:33:45,572
No time to lose our grip now, Gagan.
529
00:33:45,670 --> 00:33:47,130
Now that Jeremy's gone,
530
00:33:47,234 --> 00:33:49,044
we've gotta be all for one and one for all.
531
00:33:49,145 --> 00:33:51,435
That's right.
532
00:33:59,469 --> 00:34:02,009
(breaking glass)
533
00:34:40,481 --> 00:34:42,991
(church bell rings)
534
00:34:44,444 --> 00:34:49,454
Oh, shit. Dad, I'm off! I'll miss my bus!
535
00:34:49,553 --> 00:34:52,133
OK, bye!
536
00:34:55,114 --> 00:34:57,584
Gagan, your bag!
537
00:35:18,367 --> 00:35:20,447
Damn it.
538
00:35:20,556 --> 00:35:23,016
(horn beeps)
539
00:35:25,249 --> 00:35:28,239
- Going my way? - Can we catch up the bus?
540
00:35:31,018 --> 00:35:33,448
Gagan!
541
00:35:45,407 --> 00:35:48,427
(Catrina) I heard a crash of glass at about 1am.
542
00:35:48,536 --> 00:35:50,306
I called the police immediately.
543
00:35:50,413 --> 00:35:51,983
So what's missing?
544
00:35:52,081 --> 00:35:55,491
A spearhead and the Moonstone disc.
545
00:36:00,701 --> 00:36:03,931
Some kind of sundial?
546
00:36:04,037 --> 00:36:07,367
It's Bronze Age, circa 1600BC.
547
00:36:07,478 --> 00:36:10,498
Apparently they could harmonise the lunar and solar months
548
00:36:10,606 --> 00:36:11,996
by orientating the disc.
549
00:36:12,101 --> 00:36:15,201
- Why steal those especially? - Could be metal thieves, sir.
550
00:36:15,299 --> 00:36:17,319
Some idiots had all the bronze plaques
551
00:36:17,419 --> 00:36:19,299
off every park bench in Causton last week.
552
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,110
- They'll strip anything. - And nothing else is missing?
553
00:36:22,215 --> 00:36:26,385
I don't think so, but I haven't checked upstairs.
554
00:36:29,515 --> 00:36:32,915
There's red fibres on this broken glass.
555
00:36:33,025 --> 00:36:34,415
Get it over to forensics.
556
00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:37,129
See if it's a match with what Kate found
557
00:36:37,230 --> 00:36:38,930
on the rock that killed Jeremy.
558
00:36:39,037 --> 00:36:41,747
Time to visit Lawrence again, sir?
559
00:36:41,854 --> 00:36:46,414
No, I'm sure that he and Catrina will deny any affair
560
00:36:46,511 --> 00:36:48,421
and he'll certainly deny murder.
561
00:36:48,526 --> 00:36:51,166
No, I want more before we tackle him again.
562
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,110
I've read your thesis
563
00:36:57,216 --> 00:37:00,376
and I'm afraid it just doesn't meet the required standard.
564
00:37:00,482 --> 00:37:01,912
Why?
565
00:37:02,012 --> 00:37:04,862
Frankly, there's a profound shallowness to the work.
566
00:37:04,967 --> 00:37:06,637
That's ridiculous, Lawrence.
567
00:37:06,739 --> 00:37:08,649
No, it's because I've hit a nerve, isn't it?
568
00:37:08,756 --> 00:37:10,836
Because your book on the uncertainty principle
569
00:37:10,945 --> 00:37:13,515
is fundamentally flawed and my thesis proves it.
570
00:37:13,621 --> 00:37:15,811
OK, let's keep the temperature down, shall we?
571
00:37:15,915 --> 00:37:18,625
You may have a warp-speed mind and more ideas than Einstein,
572
00:37:18,731 --> 00:37:21,411
but you lack academic discipline, my dear.
573
00:37:23,075 --> 00:37:25,125
I suggest you concentrate on a subject
574
00:37:25,229 --> 00:37:27,699
you more fully comprehend.
575
00:37:34,649 --> 00:37:36,279
Why didn't you stand up for me?
576
00:37:36,387 --> 00:37:40,037
I've... I've known Lawrence for a long time.
577
00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:43,130
There's no point in challenging him when his blood's up,
578
00:37:43,233 --> 00:37:45,563
and he's under considerable pressure.
579
00:37:45,667 --> 00:37:47,197
We all have pressure.
580
00:37:50,394 --> 00:37:56,654
Look, don't repeat this, but Lawrence is in trouble.
581
00:37:56,755 --> 00:37:58,345
Panelsun are threatening to pull out
582
00:37:58,457 --> 00:37:59,947
over plans to expand the observatory.
583
00:38:00,056 --> 00:38:02,656
A thesis rubbishing his published work
584
00:38:02,767 --> 00:38:05,757
is not gonna help right now.
585
00:38:05,861 --> 00:38:07,881
I'm not someone who goes along to get along.
586
00:38:07,981 --> 00:38:12,601
I know, but hold your nose,
587
00:38:12,708 --> 00:38:14,518
reread his book
588
00:38:14,619 --> 00:38:18,619
and then we'll talk, OK?
589
00:38:24,108 --> 00:38:26,508
I was pinging for space bodies when it cut out.
590
00:38:26,611 --> 00:38:29,041
You've blown a fuse.
591
00:38:31,476 --> 00:38:34,006
You were with my daughter this morning.
592
00:38:34,118 --> 00:38:35,818
I gave her a lift, yeah.
593
00:38:35,926 --> 00:38:38,286
Were you with her last night? Alone with her?
594
00:38:38,393 --> 00:38:40,793
Hold on, Harry, just hang on.
595
00:38:40,897 --> 00:38:43,117
You're up the wrong tree, matey.
596
00:38:43,224 --> 00:38:47,084
Stay away or I will give you more than a verbal battering.
597
00:38:52,122 --> 00:38:55,392
You wouldn't want a ticket to his planet. What's his problem?
598
00:38:55,494 --> 00:38:58,974
He's been like that about Gagan since his wife died.
599
00:38:59,073 --> 00:39:00,393
Why's he picking on me?
600
00:39:00,498 --> 00:39:02,338
Well, you're a plumber, aren't you?
601
00:39:02,445 --> 00:39:04,565
Behave, George. I'm hardly working my way
602
00:39:04,669 --> 00:39:07,519
through the female population of Midsomer, am I?
603
00:39:15,201 --> 00:39:17,811
Mysteries Of The Cosmos, An Astrological Guide.
604
00:39:17,912 --> 00:39:19,762
You're not beginning to believe, are you?
605
00:39:19,859 --> 00:39:21,349
Just background.
606
00:39:21,458 --> 00:39:24,408
Always been interested in planets, constellations.
607
00:39:24,516 --> 00:39:26,496
Heavenly bodies?
608
00:39:26,601 --> 00:39:28,341
For instance, did you know Uranus
609
00:39:28,443 --> 00:39:31,333
is 14 times bigger than the Earth?
610
00:39:31,433 --> 00:39:34,983
Must we, Jones?
611
00:39:35,081 --> 00:39:37,861
Oh, the report came back on Jeremy's laptop.
612
00:39:37,967 --> 00:39:40,367
Techies say there's lots of downloads on it,
613
00:39:40,469 --> 00:39:41,759
but it's been encrypted.
614
00:39:41,860 --> 00:39:44,010
They're from Harry's daughter, Gagan.
615
00:39:44,119 --> 00:39:46,929
Star data, mathematical formulas.
616
00:39:47,037 --> 00:39:50,097
Some they can't even crack. They're working on it.
617
00:39:50,201 --> 00:39:52,431
These have just come back from forensics.
618
00:39:52,530 --> 00:39:55,310
The fibres from the rock and those from the break-in
619
00:39:55,415 --> 00:39:59,025
are identical, some sort of hide-skin material,
620
00:39:59,133 --> 00:40:00,873
and the red pigment is a match.
621
00:40:00,976 --> 00:40:03,056
(Barnaby) No prints lifted from the scene.
622
00:40:03,166 --> 00:40:06,116
No, so the top likelihood is that the perpetrator
623
00:40:06,224 --> 00:40:09,044
was wearing hide-skin gloves on both occasions.
624
00:40:09,144 --> 00:40:11,164
That's all the trace evidence you're gonna get.
625
00:40:11,264 --> 00:40:13,874
It does give us a tie-in between the robbery and the murder.
626
00:40:13,976 --> 00:40:18,216
Yeah. And I looked into Mary's death, Catrina Harper's sister.
627
00:40:18,319 --> 00:40:19,779
The pathologist was uncertain,
628
00:40:19,884 --> 00:40:22,944
but he believed the body was moved after her death.
629
00:40:23,046 --> 00:40:24,956
Extraneous bruising on her arms.
630
00:40:25,062 --> 00:40:28,402
- Accident or murder? - It was never resolved.
631
00:40:28,504 --> 00:40:33,654
So, that's me. You haven't forgotten my birthday bash?
632
00:40:33,752 --> 00:40:35,142
Saturday, Half Moon Hotel.
633
00:40:35,246 --> 00:40:37,776
No, the beer disposal squad will be there.
634
00:40:37,888 --> 00:40:40,598
Wicked. Dress to kill.
635
00:40:40,704 --> 00:40:45,544
It will be a late one. I was born under a bad sign.
636
00:40:48,558 --> 00:40:50,398
Remember in the corpse position
637
00:40:50,505 --> 00:40:53,385
to let your feet fall out to the side.
638
00:40:53,493 --> 00:40:55,343
Yes, Sarah, good.
639
00:40:57,281 --> 00:40:59,861
Palms upward, Catrina.
640
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,220
Yes.
641
00:41:02,322 --> 00:41:04,372
Now move your fingers and toes.
642
00:41:04,476 --> 00:41:07,076
Bring yourselves back to the present.
643
00:41:07,188 --> 00:41:10,318
Knees to the chest. Slowly.
644
00:41:10,420 --> 00:41:12,890
Roll to the side and up into the seated position.
645
00:41:12,993 --> 00:41:17,063
And salutations. Well done. Good class, everyone.
646
00:41:20,395 --> 00:41:22,545
(sobs)
647
00:41:22,655 --> 00:41:25,845
Harry, may I have a word?
648
00:41:25,957 --> 00:41:28,697
- See you next week. - Bye.
649
00:41:30,023 --> 00:41:33,363
Sorry. Sometimes it just...
650
00:41:33,464 --> 00:41:37,254
It must be so terrible. I only met Jeremy that one time.
651
00:41:37,357 --> 00:41:39,157
- Here. - Thank you.
652
00:41:39,268 --> 00:41:41,598
He and I were gonna be working on a story together,
653
00:41:41,702 --> 00:41:43,722
about the observatory.
654
00:41:46,185 --> 00:41:49,935
- What story? - I shouldn't say.
655
00:41:50,043 --> 00:41:52,513
Was it about Panelsun threatening to withdraw funding?
656
00:41:52,615 --> 00:41:54,555
- Who told you that? - Just something I heard.
657
00:41:54,666 --> 00:41:56,466
You shouldn't repeat idle gossip.
658
00:41:56,578 --> 00:41:58,938
- It can do a lot of damage! - It's not true, then?
659
00:41:59,045 --> 00:42:00,705
No, it isn't!
660
00:42:02,103 --> 00:42:04,433
Excuse me.
661
00:42:05,163 --> 00:42:06,973
Who did tell you that?
662
00:42:07,074 --> 00:42:11,804
Oh... rumours from the observatory canteen.
663
00:42:14,860 --> 00:42:17,330
(phone rings)
664
00:42:21,707 --> 00:42:25,147
- Lawrence Janson. - Oh, hi, this is Tanya Walker.
665
00:42:25,252 --> 00:42:27,552
Deputy editor, Midsomer Mercury.
666
00:42:27,651 --> 00:42:30,811
I have a few questions for you, Dr Janson.
667
00:42:30,918 --> 00:42:33,248
Perhaps we could arrange a meeting?
668
00:42:37,277 --> 00:42:40,227
You were working with Jeremy Harper before he died,
669
00:42:40,337 --> 00:42:43,427
sending him encrypted information.
670
00:42:43,534 --> 00:42:47,394
- Yes. - Not observatory data, surely?
671
00:42:47,496 --> 00:42:49,646
Why encrypted? Was it secret, confidential?
672
00:42:49,756 --> 00:42:51,416
The director, Lawrence, doesn't approve
673
00:42:51,529 --> 00:42:53,719
of making our data available to amateurs.
674
00:42:53,823 --> 00:42:56,263
So you were trying to conceal what you were doing?
675
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,490
It's crazy. The information's there. Why not use it?
676
00:42:59,592 --> 00:43:02,132
- I was just data sharing. - It wasn't data theft, then?
677
00:43:02,234 --> 00:43:04,114
Because that would be an offence.
678
00:43:04,215 --> 00:43:07,825
Look, I'm sure we can sort this out internally.
679
00:43:07,934 --> 00:43:12,424
- Please. - If you say so.
680
00:43:12,521 --> 00:43:15,231
While we're on the subject of theft,
681
00:43:15,337 --> 00:43:20,307
where were you from midnight to 1:30am yesterday morning?
682
00:43:20,411 --> 00:43:21,451
Why?
683
00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:23,329
Stanton Museum was broken into.
684
00:43:23,435 --> 00:43:27,635
- Are you accusing me? - Calm down. She was here.
685
00:43:27,746 --> 00:43:31,426
We were on night duty, working on observations together.
686
00:43:32,785 --> 00:43:34,375
Right.
687
00:43:34,488 --> 00:43:39,148
Well, that's all I need to ask you for now. Thank you.
688
00:43:39,249 --> 00:43:41,719
Thank you, Chief Inspector.
689
00:43:47,731 --> 00:43:50,721
Sorry. And thanks.
690
00:43:50,824 --> 00:43:52,604
I'll have to talk this over with Lawrence.
691
00:43:52,701 --> 00:43:56,321
He's gonna love it. He'll kill me for this.
692
00:43:59,583 --> 00:44:03,413
- Can I ask who told you this? - You can ask.
693
00:44:03,510 --> 00:44:07,190
But we journalists never reveal our sources.
694
00:44:08,619 --> 00:44:10,499
Tanya... May I call you Tanya?
695
00:44:10,601 --> 00:44:13,281
I appreciate it's your job to sell papers.
696
00:44:13,381 --> 00:44:15,711
It's my job to keep the observatory on track.
697
00:44:15,814 --> 00:44:17,204
Yes, of course.
698
00:44:17,309 --> 00:44:20,259
You see, if our main funder pulls out,
699
00:44:20,367 --> 00:44:22,277
other funders could follow suit
700
00:44:22,383 --> 00:44:24,993
and then there'd be no observatory.
701
00:44:25,094 --> 00:44:26,974
It'll close down?
702
00:44:27,075 --> 00:44:31,315
Look, I'm begging you, Tanya, just put this on hold
703
00:44:31,420 --> 00:44:34,130
and in a few days I'll give you the whole story and more.
704
00:44:34,235 --> 00:44:35,515
There's more?
705
00:44:35,626 --> 00:44:37,046
Listen, you stupid woman,
706
00:44:37,154 --> 00:44:39,174
this is business-sensitive information.
707
00:44:39,274 --> 00:44:41,224
I've invested my whole career in this place
708
00:44:41,325 --> 00:44:44,905
and will not see you and your grubby rag bring it down.
709
00:44:45,010 --> 00:44:48,590
I'll just say that you deny the story, then, is that right?
710
00:44:48,695 --> 00:44:54,495
No, no. A denial in the press is the kiss of death.
711
00:44:54,603 --> 00:44:56,413
- What's he doing here? - Fixing the boiler.
712
00:44:56,514 --> 00:45:01,104
I asked Peter here so that you and I wouldn't be alone.
713
00:45:01,207 --> 00:45:03,327
- He was listening in? - I couldn't help overhearing.
714
00:45:03,431 --> 00:45:05,341
I'll have to print the story now.
715
00:45:05,446 --> 00:45:07,566
There wouldn't be a story if that tree hugger Jeremy
716
00:45:07,672 --> 00:45:09,552
and the rest of you had kept out of it.
717
00:45:09,653 --> 00:45:11,673
This is our village.
718
00:45:11,773 --> 00:45:15,943
Who do you think you are, coming out of nowhere and lording it?
719
00:45:16,047 --> 00:45:18,337
You've got a surprise coming to you, a big surprise.
720
00:45:18,446 --> 00:45:19,656
Astronomical science begins
721
00:45:19,768 --> 00:45:21,638
where your amateur stargazing ends.
722
00:45:21,748 --> 00:45:23,628
The future of my observatory
723
00:45:23,729 --> 00:45:25,749
will be threatened over my dead body.
724
00:45:25,850 --> 00:45:27,340
Can I quote you on that?
725
00:45:27,449 --> 00:45:31,239
Print one word of this and you'll live to regret it.
726
00:45:37,702 --> 00:45:39,202
Thanks.
727
00:45:39,300 --> 00:45:42,260
How did you get the lowdown on Lawrence?
728
00:45:42,359 --> 00:45:44,579
- Ah-ha. - He's ruthless.
729
00:45:44,687 --> 00:45:47,287
You tread carefully now we've crossed him.
730
00:45:50,701 --> 00:45:52,371
I'm not wearing a leotard.
731
00:45:52,474 --> 00:45:55,184
Harry says that the breath is what it's all about.
732
00:45:55,288 --> 00:45:59,598
So put your right leg in a bit and your left leg out.
733
00:46:00,606 --> 00:46:03,346
No, no, no, this in and left out.
734
00:46:03,456 --> 00:46:05,716
In, out, in, out, shake it all about?
735
00:46:05,820 --> 00:46:09,160
Be serious. OK, now lie down.
736
00:46:09,261 --> 00:46:12,041
(whimpers)
737
00:46:12,145 --> 00:46:14,745
Palms up.
738
00:46:14,857 --> 00:46:17,427
OK, now breathe in.
739
00:46:19,549 --> 00:46:20,349
And breathe out.
740
00:46:20,453 --> 00:46:22,263
(exhales)
741
00:46:23,685 --> 00:46:25,735
Just give way.
742
00:46:28,481 --> 00:46:29,981
Give way.
743
00:46:32,235 --> 00:46:34,905
- What are you thinking about? - My driving instructor.
744
00:46:35,015 --> 00:46:36,955
She had exactly that tone of voice.
745
00:46:37,066 --> 00:46:38,866
Stop it.
746
00:46:38,978 --> 00:46:44,328
OK, breathe, and feel the weight of your body.
747
00:46:53,889 --> 00:46:56,109
And breathe.
748
00:46:56,217 --> 00:46:58,757
(Sykes whimpers)
749
00:47:02,335 --> 00:47:04,385
(Barnaby snores)
750
00:47:23,258 --> 00:47:25,098
The police just called me.
751
00:47:25,205 --> 00:47:27,635
Were you aware Gagan has been downloading data
752
00:47:27,743 --> 00:47:29,103
to the local amateurs?
753
00:47:29,202 --> 00:47:30,352
Not till today.
754
00:47:30,453 --> 00:47:32,683
You're running a leaky ship, Adrian.
755
00:47:34,033 --> 00:47:35,393
Someone's also leaked to the press
756
00:47:35,492 --> 00:47:38,132
about the Moonstone Ridge extension.
757
00:47:38,238 --> 00:47:40,498
Have you told anyone?
758
00:47:40,602 --> 00:47:43,242
Well, I did mention it to Gagan
759
00:47:43,348 --> 00:47:46,548
after your disgraceful display in response to her thesis.
760
00:47:46,650 --> 00:47:47,970
Why the hell...
761
00:47:48,074 --> 00:47:49,954
I felt she deserved some explanation.
762
00:47:50,056 --> 00:47:52,386
I informed her of the pressure you're under presently.
763
00:47:52,489 --> 00:47:53,849
So she's taken her revenge
764
00:47:53,949 --> 00:47:55,759
because I dissed her lousy thesis?
765
00:47:55,861 --> 00:47:58,331
She's upset. She's not vindictive.
766
00:47:58,432 --> 00:48:00,622
Rejection's hard to take sometimes, Lawrence.
767
00:48:00,727 --> 00:48:03,607
She's a thief.
768
00:48:03,716 --> 00:48:06,636
Tell her I want to see her in my office tomorrow morning.
769
00:48:06,740 --> 00:48:09,800
I'm her tutor. I'll talk to her.
770
00:48:09,902 --> 00:48:13,242
Alright. But we need damage limitation.
771
00:48:13,343 --> 00:48:15,223
I'm meeting Panelsun next week.
772
00:48:15,325 --> 00:48:19,145
Calm down. I'm sure all this is just a temporary blip.
773
00:48:19,252 --> 00:48:22,102
Nothing endures like the temporary.
774
00:48:22,206 --> 00:48:24,946
No, we need to keep a lid on this.
775
00:48:25,056 --> 00:48:28,666
We need to ensure Gagan is silenced.
776
00:49:02,211 --> 00:49:04,961
Who's there?
777
00:49:51,288 --> 00:49:55,948
That's the spearhead that was stolen from the museum tearooms.
778
00:49:56,049 --> 00:49:57,579
The entry wound angle suggests
779
00:49:57,683 --> 00:50:00,193
that the spear struck him while he was standing
780
00:50:00,290 --> 00:50:01,610
and he then collapsed.
781
00:50:01,716 --> 00:50:04,426
Could he have pulled the spear out himself?
782
00:50:04,531 --> 00:50:06,651
It's possible. It'd be an instinctive reaction.
783
00:50:06,755 --> 00:50:09,635
But I suspect that it had pierced the left ventricle.
784
00:50:09,745 --> 00:50:11,795
He wouldn't survive that.
785
00:50:11,899 --> 00:50:14,159
There's red fibres on the spearhead.
786
00:50:14,262 --> 00:50:18,752
So Jeremy's murder wasn't just a one-off, then.
787
00:50:20,450 --> 00:50:25,180
And the body's been moved, positioned carefully.
788
00:50:25,281 --> 00:50:28,481
Look at the legs, the arm,
789
00:50:28,582 --> 00:50:31,362
the spear lying above his head like that.
790
00:50:31,468 --> 00:50:32,998
Something to do with the killer's MO?
791
00:50:33,101 --> 00:50:36,131
Usually it's a challenge. "Catch me if you can."
792
00:50:36,229 --> 00:50:38,589
- Can I have your clipboard? - Of course, sir.
793
00:50:38,697 --> 00:50:40,847
Thank you.
794
00:50:41,895 --> 00:50:44,705
I've found Peter's work diary, sir.
795
00:50:44,815 --> 00:50:46,795
His last call was at Tanya Walker's
796
00:50:46,900 --> 00:50:49,090
who I think works at the Mercury.
797
00:50:49,193 --> 00:50:54,413
Well done. You pay a visit to Tanya at the Mercury.
798
00:50:59,030 --> 00:51:02,920
Hold everything, Tanya. Peter Groves has been killed.
799
00:51:03,027 --> 00:51:05,147
- What? When? - Last night.
800
00:51:05,251 --> 00:51:08,731
The milkman found him this morning and he rang George.
801
00:51:08,832 --> 00:51:10,712
The police are up at Peter's place now.
802
00:51:10,813 --> 00:51:11,963
That's terrible.
803
00:51:12,063 --> 00:51:13,733
I know, but pull yourself together.
804
00:51:13,837 --> 00:51:18,697
He was killed with a spear, which is amazing,
805
00:51:18,807 --> 00:51:23,807
because according to his chart, Mars is in the ascendant.
806
00:51:23,916 --> 00:51:27,806
Mars, the god of war, whose symbol is what?
807
00:51:27,913 --> 00:51:30,143
- A spear! - That's weird.
808
00:51:30,241 --> 00:51:34,241
You might almost say it's... predictable.
809
00:51:36,115 --> 00:51:41,675
You might even say that I foretold his death.
810
00:51:42,546 --> 00:51:46,326
Make a cracking headline.
811
00:51:48,558 --> 00:51:51,228
Alright, alright. We'll go with it.
812
00:51:51,338 --> 00:51:56,448
And then I want you to predict dark times ahead for Stanton.
813
00:51:56,552 --> 00:51:59,372
I found out that the observatory might lose its funding.
814
00:51:59,472 --> 00:52:02,432
20-odd villagers that work up there will lose their jobs.
815
00:52:02,530 --> 00:52:04,340
I'll splash that the observatory's on the skids
816
00:52:04,443 --> 00:52:06,323
and that your predictions were spot on.
817
00:52:06,424 --> 00:52:09,734
- Oh, that's perfect. - Poor Peter.
818
00:52:09,830 --> 00:52:13,970
Yeah, but this is career gold, Tanya. Cheer up.
819
00:52:14,069 --> 00:52:17,089
Before you know it, we'll be on the national news.
820
00:52:17,198 --> 00:52:19,628
The Sun. The Star.
821
00:52:19,736 --> 00:52:23,246
The sky's the limit.
822
00:52:32,909 --> 00:52:35,969
- Tanya Walker? - Yes.
823
00:52:36,070 --> 00:52:39,130
I'm Detective Sergeant Jones, Causton CID.
824
00:52:39,234 --> 00:52:43,234
Sorry. I'm in a tearing hurry. Lunch in town with my editor.
825
00:52:43,335 --> 00:52:47,435
I understand Peter Groves was at your house last night.
826
00:52:47,541 --> 00:52:50,431
Yes. He fixed my boiler.
827
00:52:50,530 --> 00:52:53,310
- What time did he leave? - About half seven.
828
00:52:53,415 --> 00:52:55,845
Look, I appreciate you're investigating his murder.
829
00:52:55,953 --> 00:53:01,483
- Who told you he was murdered? - Mags. Mystic Mags.
830
00:53:01,582 --> 00:53:04,922
In fact, she predicted it. Extraordinary.
831
00:53:05,024 --> 00:53:08,224
You can read about it in tomorrow's Mercury.
832
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,740
(music on radio)
833
00:53:19,518 --> 00:53:22,258
(man) We've just received this flash from the newsroom.
834
00:53:22,368 --> 00:53:24,278
The body of local plumber Peter Groves
835
00:53:24,383 --> 00:53:26,543
was found early this morning.
836
00:53:26,643 --> 00:53:28,243
Foul play is suspected.
837
00:53:28,346 --> 00:53:29,456
The police haven't issued
838
00:53:29,563 --> 00:53:32,313
a statement as yet.
839
00:53:44,195 --> 00:53:47,945
Gentlemen, come inside.
840
00:53:50,347 --> 00:53:52,707
Inspector!
841
00:53:53,614 --> 00:53:56,124
I'll join you in a moment.
842
00:54:00,566 --> 00:54:03,936
(George) Any idea who killed Peter?
843
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,380
- You suspect someone? - Yes.
844
00:54:08,143 --> 00:54:10,753
Harry, the chemist.
845
00:54:10,854 --> 00:54:13,364
He had a set-to with Peter yesterday,
846
00:54:13,461 --> 00:54:17,461
thought Pete was banging his daughter, Gagan.
847
00:54:17,562 --> 00:54:24,652
And I saw Harry a few nights back up on Moonstone Ridge
848
00:54:24,757 --> 00:54:27,537
with Jeremy's wife Catrina.
849
00:54:28,998 --> 00:54:30,248
Is this to do with the death
850
00:54:30,352 --> 00:54:32,542
of Mary Dutta, Harry's wife?
851
00:54:32,646 --> 00:54:35,566
You and Jeremy were there at the party
852
00:54:35,670 --> 00:54:37,580
on the night she died, weren't you?
853
00:54:37,686 --> 00:54:40,046
Her body was moved, I understand.
854
00:54:40,153 --> 00:54:45,263
Apparently. Nothing happened at the party, I swear.
855
00:54:45,367 --> 00:54:46,997
But Harry's always blamed us.
856
00:54:47,105 --> 00:54:50,715
Now he thinks something like that's gonna happen to Gagan.
857
00:54:50,824 --> 00:54:52,354
- It's mad. - Hmm.
858
00:54:52,457 --> 00:54:56,207
Almost as mad as Mags claiming to have predicted
859
00:54:56,316 --> 00:54:58,506
both Jeremy and Peter's murders.
860
00:54:58,610 --> 00:55:02,220
Look, she's an astrologist.
861
00:55:02,328 --> 00:55:05,978
She despises us as amateur star watchers.
862
00:55:06,082 --> 00:55:10,742
Mags is a charlatan, but it pays the rent.
863
00:55:10,844 --> 00:55:13,424
And where were you last night, George?
864
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,540
There was a transit of Venus. I was here all night.
865
00:55:16,648 --> 00:55:18,458
Keeps me out of the house.
866
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,980
Look, have a good look at Harry, Chief Inspector.
867
00:55:23,078 --> 00:55:25,958
Something's snapped, I'm telling you.
868
00:55:26,068 --> 00:55:28,498
He's lost it.
869
00:55:31,454 --> 00:55:32,464
(Mags) There you are.
870
00:55:32,567 --> 00:55:34,127
Mars is in the ascendant
871
00:55:34,235 --> 00:55:39,205
in the eighth house of Peter's zodiac.
872
00:55:39,309 --> 00:55:42,089
That's it? You're calling that a prediction in tomorrow's paper?
873
00:55:42,195 --> 00:55:44,765
And I warned Peter about it.
874
00:55:44,871 --> 00:55:48,281
- He would tell you... - If he wasn't dead.
875
00:55:49,076 --> 00:55:51,436
Yes.
876
00:55:52,414 --> 00:55:55,544
Did you know that I know your gran?
877
00:55:56,723 --> 00:55:58,323
- What? - Your gran.
878
00:55:58,426 --> 00:56:01,416
She came to see me last week for a reading.
879
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,440
She told me your birth date and that you were born...
880
00:56:04,544 --> 00:56:07,744
Hang on. I don't need my stars read.
881
00:56:07,845 --> 00:56:11,975
Ooh, yes, you do. I can tell. You're curious. We all are.
882
00:56:12,085 --> 00:56:14,585
No, no, I'm not.
883
00:56:14,693 --> 00:56:17,063
Your birth date, anybody's birth date,
884
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:18,900
is like the vintages of wine.
885
00:56:19,002 --> 00:56:21,852
Some are priceless. Some are plonk.
886
00:56:22,931 --> 00:56:24,531
So what's mine come out as, then?
887
00:56:24,633 --> 00:56:27,623
Oh. Oh, I see. You are curious.
888
00:56:27,727 --> 00:56:31,587
Well, astrology is like soul gazing.
889
00:56:31,689 --> 00:56:33,249
I mean, is there nothing
890
00:56:33,357 --> 00:56:36,207
that you would really, really like to know?
891
00:56:37,319 --> 00:56:39,719
Yeah. Who's gonna win the 3:30 at Ascot?
892
00:56:39,823 --> 00:56:43,653
I could tell you something more important that that.
893
00:56:44,688 --> 00:56:47,328
I could tell you your fate.
894
00:57:14,370 --> 00:57:16,980
Police. Quick, please.
895
00:57:17,081 --> 00:57:19,511
Stay away. I've called the police.
896
00:57:19,619 --> 00:57:22,119
Police? I wasn't following you, Tanya.
897
00:57:22,225 --> 00:57:23,755
- Are you still there? - I was out for a run.
898
00:57:23,859 --> 00:57:25,279
- Stay back. - Hello?
899
00:57:25,388 --> 00:57:26,948
You're getting paranoid.
900
00:57:27,056 --> 00:57:28,826
- You're out of your depth. - Can you hear me?
901
00:57:28,934 --> 00:57:31,644
- Soon you'll be out of a job. - Hello?
902
00:57:31,750 --> 00:57:34,040
Tanya.
903
00:57:34,147 --> 00:57:36,267
Are you alright, madam?
904
00:57:36,371 --> 00:57:39,991
No, sorry. I'm fine. It's a false alarm.
905
00:57:43,114 --> 00:57:47,184
So, Sarah tells me you've been meditating, Inspector.
906
00:57:47,285 --> 00:57:49,675
Yes, loving it.
907
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,220
Excellent.
908
00:57:52,325 --> 00:57:54,995
Yeah, I understand you had an altercation
909
00:57:55,105 --> 00:57:57,635
with Peter Groves yesterday.
910
00:57:57,748 --> 00:58:00,738
Yes, hot words were exchanged.
911
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:02,470
Do you have daughters, gentlemen?
912
00:58:02,579 --> 00:58:05,179
- No. - Then you will not know.
913
00:58:05,289 --> 00:58:07,309
You try and keep your eyes on them,
914
00:58:07,410 --> 00:58:09,980
but you cannot cover every corner of the universe.
915
00:58:10,085 --> 00:58:13,555
- Gagan is 21. - A dangerous age for a woman.
916
00:58:13,666 --> 00:58:18,006
Men have come little further since we lived up trees.
917
00:58:18,115 --> 00:58:22,005
They are all stones made from the same mountain.
918
00:58:22,111 --> 00:58:26,601
So you accused Peter of consorting with her?
919
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:28,750
Yes. I had to intervene.
920
00:58:28,855 --> 00:58:32,535
No use letting your house get on fire then digging a well.
921
00:58:32,643 --> 00:58:35,563
No, suppose not.
922
00:58:35,667 --> 00:58:40,217
Did Peter tell you of this argument or was it George?
923
00:58:41,054 --> 00:58:44,574
Yes, George was there.
924
00:58:44,669 --> 00:58:47,829
And where were you after 7:30 last night, Harry?
925
00:58:47,936 --> 00:58:50,576
I was alone, contemplating.
926
00:58:50,682 --> 00:58:52,352
These are dark times, Inspector,
927
00:58:52,455 --> 00:58:55,575
the Kali Yuga Cycle, but it will be followed
928
00:58:55,687 --> 00:58:59,267
by the Cycle of Light, the Age of Aquarius.
929
00:58:59,371 --> 00:59:01,741
Unfortunately, Jeremy and Peter won't be here to enjoy it.
930
00:59:01,839 --> 00:59:05,349
Oh, yes, they will. We are all born again.
931
00:59:05,454 --> 00:59:10,254
To die is nothing, just a step towards rebirth.
932
00:59:13,413 --> 00:59:16,653
Think he seriously believes in rebirth and all that?
933
00:59:16,750 --> 00:59:20,470
Harry's deadly serious. It's basic to his faith.
934
00:59:20,573 --> 00:59:23,013
I didn't know you'd gone all yogic, sir.
935
00:59:23,109 --> 00:59:25,609
- Meditating? - It was Sarah's idea.
936
00:59:25,717 --> 00:59:29,747
Blue sky thinking. You should try it, Jones.
937
01:00:04,367 --> 01:00:06,797
Hello?
938
01:00:13,264 --> 01:00:15,144
Is somebody there?
939
01:00:36,796 --> 01:00:38,186
That's the Moonstone disc
940
01:00:38,289 --> 01:00:40,029
stolen from the museum with the spearhead.
941
01:00:40,131 --> 01:00:44,441
Someone's honed the edges. Razor sharp. Lethal weapon.
942
01:00:44,545 --> 01:00:46,625
Sliced open his carotid artery.
943
01:00:46,736 --> 01:00:47,876
That the cause of death?
944
01:00:47,988 --> 01:00:49,548
There wasn't a great deal of blood,
945
01:00:49,655 --> 01:00:51,455
so it's possible he had a cardiac arrest
946
01:00:51,566 --> 01:00:52,956
triggered by the attack.
947
01:00:53,061 --> 01:00:55,951
- He was obviously obese. - Time of death?
948
01:00:56,050 --> 01:00:57,720
Between ten and midnight.
949
01:00:57,824 --> 01:01:02,274
I won't know exactly till I get him back on the slab.
950
01:01:02,376 --> 01:01:04,946
Looks like the same red fibres on the murder weapon.
951
01:01:05,052 --> 01:01:07,802
It's the same hand did this, I don't doubt it.
952
01:01:07,903 --> 01:01:10,203
The body's not been positioned like the previous victim.
953
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:14,920
The rock, then the spearhead and now this disc
954
01:01:15,027 --> 01:01:17,427
are all from Moonstone Ridge.
955
01:01:17,530 --> 01:01:20,000
Maybe that's the signature.
956
01:01:21,771 --> 01:01:23,471
Neighbours are pretty spooked, sir.
957
01:01:23,578 --> 01:01:26,388
Think these murders are to do with the Moonstone curse.
958
01:01:26,497 --> 01:01:28,857
They were all in bed last night behind locked doors.
959
01:01:28,966 --> 01:01:30,526
Saw nothing, heard nothing.
960
01:01:30,634 --> 01:01:32,964
Mags found the body this morning.
961
01:01:33,066 --> 01:01:36,576
Pop in and ask her where she was between ten and midnight.
962
01:01:36,681 --> 01:01:38,181
Think she's a possible, sir?
963
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,060
Well, she claims to have predicted two murders.
964
01:01:41,165 --> 01:01:43,975
And now her husband's turned up dead.
965
01:01:49,193 --> 01:01:53,923
So you were in here between ten and midnight?
966
01:01:54,024 --> 01:01:56,954
Uh... I... I...
967
01:01:59,447 --> 01:02:01,187
Sorry.
968
01:02:02,158 --> 01:02:04,378
Take your time.
969
01:02:05,843 --> 01:02:08,833
Uh, well, yes, I was working.
970
01:02:09,701 --> 01:02:10,991
I didn't hear a thing.
971
01:02:11,090 --> 01:02:14,050
And George was alone in his shed?
972
01:02:14,149 --> 01:02:16,929
Alone with a bottle of whisky, yes.
973
01:02:17,034 --> 01:02:23,394
George has been back on the drink ever since Jeremy died.
974
01:02:23,499 --> 01:02:25,759
He used to be a big boozer.
975
01:02:25,862 --> 01:02:30,492
George was the reason that pubs invented closing time.
976
01:02:30,589 --> 01:02:33,889
Yep, there. You see?
977
01:02:33,996 --> 01:02:38,686
I logged off at 3:22am.
978
01:02:38,793 --> 01:02:44,323
Actually, I was casting your star chart.
979
01:02:44,422 --> 01:02:47,522
- Would you like to see it? - No, thank you.
980
01:02:47,621 --> 01:02:51,621
You should. It's very interesting.
981
01:02:51,722 --> 01:02:56,032
You have a lot to look forward to.
982
01:02:57,283 --> 01:02:59,583
See...
983
01:02:59,681 --> 01:03:03,161
Venus is passing through your 11th house just now,
984
01:03:03,261 --> 01:03:05,561
turning on your love light.
985
01:03:05,659 --> 01:03:07,749
You need to get your affairs in order.
986
01:03:07,849 --> 01:03:10,459
- I'm not having any affairs. - Well, you will soon.
987
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:11,880
You'll have a close encounter
988
01:03:11,986 --> 01:03:14,906
with one you have been fantasising about.
989
01:03:15,009 --> 01:03:20,809
A female colleague at work possibly.
990
01:03:20,918 --> 01:03:23,248
- Oh? - And the 11.
991
01:03:23,351 --> 01:03:25,091
The number 11 is significant.
992
01:03:25,192 --> 01:03:27,832
Is it a house number?
993
01:03:27,939 --> 01:03:30,679
Or the alphabet? A,B,C,D,E,F...
994
01:03:30,789 --> 01:03:33,009
Letter K mean anything?
995
01:03:34,264 --> 01:03:37,254
- Does it describe her? - Oh...
996
01:03:37,357 --> 01:03:41,177
Sadly, the elements don't often reveal the physical,
997
01:03:41,285 --> 01:03:45,625
but... you should take extra care this weekend
998
01:03:45,734 --> 01:03:47,754
with your appearance.
999
01:03:47,854 --> 01:03:49,774
Let your passion shine through.
1000
01:03:49,871 --> 01:03:52,621
- (phone rings) - Excuse me.
1001
01:03:55,118 --> 01:03:58,248
- Yes, sir. - (sighs)
1002
01:03:58,351 --> 01:04:01,441
Yeah, I'll be with you in a tick.
1003
01:04:01,549 --> 01:04:04,539
Um... I have to go.
1004
01:04:04,642 --> 01:04:07,632
Why don't you take this with you?
1005
01:04:08,534 --> 01:04:10,064
Thanks.
1006
01:04:10,168 --> 01:04:13,368
Be immortal for as long as you live, Sergeant,
1007
01:04:13,469 --> 01:04:17,119
because nothing is more certain in life
1008
01:04:17,223 --> 01:04:19,413
than that it will end in death.
1009
01:04:30,258 --> 01:04:33,388
- See you at the weekend, Kate. - I hope so.
1010
01:04:40,233 --> 01:04:41,593
There's something I just...
1011
01:04:41,693 --> 01:04:43,783
- I just can't... - Let it go, John.
1012
01:04:43,882 --> 01:04:47,012
There's something I'm missing about the killer's signature.
1013
01:04:47,114 --> 01:04:50,004
I just can't... I can't see it.
1014
01:04:50,104 --> 01:04:53,824
- My head's spinning. - So you need to calm down.
1015
01:04:53,927 --> 01:04:57,257
Be still and clear your mind.
1016
01:04:57,368 --> 01:05:00,668
- Yeah, yeah. - Just try and visualise, OK?
1017
01:05:00,774 --> 01:05:05,884
So the Earth is rotating at a thousand miles per hour,
1018
01:05:05,988 --> 01:05:10,888
which is spinning at 60,000 miles an hour around the sun,
1019
01:05:10,993 --> 01:05:15,343
which is travelling at 500,000 miles an hour
1020
01:05:15,441 --> 01:05:17,421
through the universe.
1021
01:05:17,527 --> 01:05:20,267
- How does that make you feel? - Even dizzier.
1022
01:05:20,377 --> 01:05:23,047
Darling, this is useless unless you go with it.
1023
01:05:23,158 --> 01:05:26,908
Open your mind to it. Give me your hands.
1024
01:05:30,387 --> 01:05:32,017
Right, take a deep breath with me.
1025
01:05:32,124 --> 01:05:35,714
(both inhale and exhale)
1026
01:05:35,809 --> 01:05:39,079
Now close your eyes and visualise.
1027
01:05:40,502 --> 01:05:42,942
Can you feel the energy flowing?
1028
01:05:43,038 --> 01:05:46,828
Oh, yes, a definite rush of blood.
1029
01:05:46,932 --> 01:05:50,962
- (Sykes barks) - Quiet, Sykes.
1030
01:05:51,067 --> 01:05:53,357
And close your eyes.
1031
01:05:53,465 --> 01:05:56,415
I don't think we need an audience for this, do we?
1032
01:05:56,525 --> 01:05:59,195
- No, we don't. - (phone rings)
1033
01:06:11,574 --> 01:06:14,014
Yes, Jones.
1034
01:06:14,111 --> 01:06:17,281
No, I'll handle it.
1035
01:06:19,429 --> 01:06:21,619
Sorry.
1036
01:06:23,844 --> 01:06:26,104
Sorry.
1037
01:06:29,057 --> 01:06:33,047
Well, Sykesy, it's you and me again.
1038
01:06:48,416 --> 01:06:50,536
What are we doing up here?
1039
01:06:50,642 --> 01:06:54,922
I always come up to the ridge... to do my thinking.
1040
01:06:56,063 --> 01:06:59,373
Talk to my mum. This is where they found her.
1041
01:07:01,694 --> 01:07:04,094
What's this about?
1042
01:07:05,586 --> 01:07:10,346
I'm frightened. He's killed Jeremy, Peter and George.
1043
01:07:10,453 --> 01:07:13,343
- He'll come after me. - Who'll come after you?
1044
01:07:13,442 --> 01:07:16,782
Lawrence. I'm sure it's him.
1045
01:07:17,752 --> 01:07:20,182
Why would he do that?
1046
01:07:23,312 --> 01:07:26,962
The four of us had been working together for nearly a year
1047
01:07:27,066 --> 01:07:29,186
using the data I downloaded.
1048
01:07:29,290 --> 01:07:31,310
Jeremy had spotted light variations
1049
01:07:31,411 --> 01:07:34,331
on a distant star some time ago.
1050
01:07:34,435 --> 01:07:37,345
You've lost me. What does that mean?
1051
01:07:37,458 --> 01:07:40,028
It suggests something is orbiting,
1052
01:07:40,135 --> 01:07:43,885
coming between the star and us momentarily as it passes.
1053
01:07:43,993 --> 01:07:48,093
- Something like what? - A planet.
1054
01:07:48,199 --> 01:07:51,009
We believed we'd discovered a new planet
1055
01:07:51,118 --> 01:07:52,958
orbiting a distant star.
1056
01:07:53,064 --> 01:07:55,054
And you kept that a secret? Why?
1057
01:07:55,150 --> 01:07:56,820
We were waiting for confirmation,
1058
01:07:56,923 --> 01:07:59,083
for its transit to come back round.
1059
01:07:59,182 --> 01:08:02,522
It's due to pass again some time tomorrow.
1060
01:08:02,623 --> 01:08:05,163
Who else knew about this?
1061
01:08:05,264 --> 01:08:08,984
No one. Just us four.
1062
01:08:09,087 --> 01:08:12,977
But maybe Lawrence found out what we'd discovered.
1063
01:08:13,084 --> 01:08:15,874
The last thing he'd want is me and a bunch of amateurs
1064
01:08:15,970 --> 01:08:18,540
finding a new planet.
1065
01:08:18,646 --> 01:08:21,566
He despises me!
1066
01:08:21,670 --> 01:08:23,930
I'm terrified.
1067
01:08:32,827 --> 01:08:36,227
Morning, sir. How did it go with Gagan?
1068
01:08:36,337 --> 01:08:38,317
She's convinced this is Lawrence.
1069
01:08:38,423 --> 01:08:40,863
Leave that and go and find him, Jones.
1070
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:44,610
- Get him in for questioning. - Yes, sir.
1071
01:08:56,357 --> 01:08:57,777
He's in Birmingham at a conference.
1072
01:08:57,887 --> 01:09:01,357
He won't be back till later this afternoon.
1073
01:09:01,467 --> 01:09:03,127
Ask him to give me a call, will you?
1074
01:09:03,238 --> 01:09:06,188
- Certainly. - Thanks.
1075
01:09:09,530 --> 01:09:11,790
(dials number)
1076
01:09:16,064 --> 01:09:19,614
Lawrence, the police were here to speak to you.
1077
01:09:19,714 --> 01:09:22,744
No, I told them nothing about it.
1078
01:09:25,970 --> 01:09:30,210
- You disappoint me. - What are you talking about?
1079
01:09:30,314 --> 01:09:33,034
I found these prophylactics in your bag the other day.
1080
01:09:33,130 --> 01:09:36,750
- You searched my bag? - They fell out before me.
1081
01:09:36,849 --> 01:09:40,849
- As if by fate, warning me. - It's none of your business.
1082
01:09:40,951 --> 01:09:44,841
I know a young woman feels the urge to merge...
1083
01:09:44,947 --> 01:09:47,027
I don't wanna discuss it!
1084
01:09:47,136 --> 01:09:50,816
Was it Peter? Was it him? I saw you going with him.
1085
01:09:50,925 --> 01:09:55,475
Peter was gay and very happy about it.
1086
01:09:56,661 --> 01:09:58,921
I can't be doing with this, Dad.
1087
01:09:59,024 --> 01:10:02,404
Peter is dead and I'm freaked, OK?
1088
01:10:06,636 --> 01:10:08,546
I stole stuff from the observatory.
1089
01:10:08,651 --> 01:10:11,081
- Stole? - It was just data, knowledge.
1090
01:10:11,188 --> 01:10:13,198
You always said knowledge should be shared by all.
1091
01:10:13,309 --> 01:10:16,509
- You should have told me. - It was a secret.
1092
01:10:16,611 --> 01:10:18,941
But nothing else was going on there between us, Dad,
1093
01:10:19,043 --> 01:10:21,483
I promise you.
1094
01:10:22,798 --> 01:10:25,198
Gagan, don't get upset.
1095
01:10:26,482 --> 01:10:28,432
It's just that I have to care for you.
1096
01:10:28,532 --> 01:10:34,202
It's my duty to your mother. I promised to her spirit.
1097
01:10:34,302 --> 01:10:38,652
Look, I've got a tutorial with Adrian. Can I borrow the car?
1098
01:10:39,794 --> 01:10:42,264
Yes. Yes, of course.
1099
01:10:46,467 --> 01:10:48,137
Thanks, Dad.
1100
01:10:48,935 --> 01:10:51,155
Love you.
1101
01:10:56,790 --> 01:10:59,500
(thunder rumbles)
1102
01:11:24,387 --> 01:11:26,057
Lawrence was furious.
1103
01:11:26,159 --> 01:11:28,249
He's convinced you leaked to the press
1104
01:11:28,349 --> 01:11:30,299
and you and the village amateurs are hell-bent
1105
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,180
on bringing him and the observatory down.
1106
01:11:33,284 --> 01:11:36,874
There's hardly any members of the Astronomical Society left.
1107
01:11:36,969 --> 01:11:39,859
They've all been murdered.
1108
01:11:39,959 --> 01:11:42,459
- I think I know who by. - Who?
1109
01:11:42,565 --> 01:11:45,485
I can't tell you.
1110
01:12:02,759 --> 01:12:04,179
- I'm frightened.
1111
01:12:04,287 --> 01:12:07,827
Of course you are. We all are.
1112
01:12:07,938 --> 01:12:10,788
These deaths are a terrifying tragedy,
1113
01:12:10,892 --> 01:12:14,722
but they're nothing to do with you, I'm certain.
1114
01:12:17,078 --> 01:12:20,968
- I'm sorry to lay this on you. - I'm glad you have.
1115
01:12:22,257 --> 01:12:25,387
- I'd better go. - Why? Where are you going?
1116
01:12:28,305 --> 01:12:33,725
I need a thinking walk on the ridge, talk to Mum.
1117
01:12:34,944 --> 01:12:38,254
- Well, be careful. - Thanks.
1118
01:12:56,145 --> 01:13:00,555
These murder weapons, the rock, the spear and the disc...
1119
01:13:00,664 --> 01:13:04,734
Hush, Jones. I'm trying to visualise.
1120
01:13:05,912 --> 01:13:08,382
Sorry, sir.
1121
01:13:10,013 --> 01:13:12,483
I wonder...
1122
01:13:21,065 --> 01:13:23,775
Yes, the Moonstone disc
1123
01:13:23,882 --> 01:13:26,382
and the picture in the museum catalogue are different.
1124
01:13:26,489 --> 01:13:27,839
- Can you see? - No.
1125
01:13:27,949 --> 01:13:29,889
On the disc, the murder weapon,
1126
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:34,270
there's this arrangement of small gold dots,
1127
01:13:34,378 --> 01:13:39,558
which is barely visible on the photograph in the catalogue.
1128
01:13:39,661 --> 01:13:40,531
Yeah, you're right.
1129
01:13:40,635 --> 01:13:43,725
So... the dots on the disc
1130
01:13:43,832 --> 01:13:47,412
must have been polished up after the disc was stolen.
1131
01:13:55,024 --> 01:13:58,714
This is the outline of Peter's body as it was found.
1132
01:13:58,813 --> 01:14:03,163
This is the pattern of the dots
1133
01:14:03,260 --> 01:14:07,190
as they now appear on the disc.
1134
01:14:07,293 --> 01:14:08,963
It's the same pattern.
1135
01:14:10,351 --> 01:14:15,291
Ah-ha. These aren't just dots, Jones.
1136
01:14:15,391 --> 01:14:17,961
These are stars.
1137
01:14:18,867 --> 01:14:20,607
This is a constellation,
1138
01:14:20,709 --> 01:14:23,629
the constellation of Scorpio,
1139
01:14:23,733 --> 01:14:25,713
my sign.
1140
01:14:27,139 --> 01:14:29,049
This is classic serial killer behaviour.
1141
01:14:29,155 --> 01:14:32,005
The killer didn't start with the signature game
1142
01:14:32,109 --> 01:14:34,859
until after the first murder.
1143
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,120
"Catch me if you can."
1144
01:14:37,219 --> 01:14:40,169
Bring up the suspect profiles.
1145
01:14:44,761 --> 01:14:48,721
See if there's a Scorpio birthday amongst them.
1146
01:14:48,828 --> 01:14:51,158
October 24th to November 21st.
1147
01:14:51,261 --> 01:14:57,451
Harry, no. Adrian, no. Catrina, no.
1148
01:14:58,838 --> 01:15:02,238
Yes, Lawrence. His is a Scorpio birth date.
1149
01:15:02,348 --> 01:15:05,648
Hang on, sir. Mags is a Scorpio too.
1150
01:15:06,519 --> 01:15:09,089
Ah, right.
1151
01:15:09,195 --> 01:15:11,135
Lawrence will have to keep
1152
01:15:11,246 --> 01:15:14,026
until he comes back from his conference.
1153
01:15:14,130 --> 01:15:17,190
But Mags we can tackle now.
1154
01:15:20,421 --> 01:15:24,071
I told you, I didn't see what happened to Jeremy.
1155
01:15:24,175 --> 01:15:26,705
And you've no alibi for the time of Peter's death
1156
01:15:26,817 --> 01:15:28,277
or your husband George's.
1157
01:15:28,380 --> 01:15:30,080
I was here.
1158
01:15:30,188 --> 01:15:32,448
I got the impression you and George weren't exactly
1159
01:15:32,552 --> 01:15:35,232
a marriage made in heaven.
1160
01:15:35,333 --> 01:15:37,173
No.
1161
01:15:37,278 --> 01:15:38,738
As the old joke goes,
1162
01:15:38,843 --> 01:15:41,103
I can remember our wedding as if it were yesterday.
1163
01:15:41,206 --> 01:15:43,606
If it were tomorrow, I wouldn't turn up.
1164
01:15:45,273 --> 01:15:47,673
Were you aware that George, Jeremy and Peter
1165
01:15:47,776 --> 01:15:51,036
believed they'd discovered a new planet with Gagan?
1166
01:15:51,147 --> 01:15:56,467
No. He never said anything like that to me.
1167
01:15:56,569 --> 01:15:59,249
Of course, George had been in a black hole lately.
1168
01:15:59,349 --> 01:16:03,689
He was drinking like in the old days.
1169
01:16:03,799 --> 01:16:06,929
You are a Scorpio?
1170
01:16:07,030 --> 01:16:09,190
Oh, yes.
1171
01:16:10,228 --> 01:16:13,428
Secretive, passionate...
1172
01:16:15,198 --> 01:16:17,278
...dangerous.
1173
01:16:18,396 --> 01:16:22,046
We are both all of those things, Inspector.
1174
01:16:22,150 --> 01:16:25,210
You told me that in the days after an eclipse,
1175
01:16:25,313 --> 01:16:26,563
chaos prevails.
1176
01:16:26,668 --> 01:16:30,738
And look what happened. I mean, the zodiac doesn't lie.
1177
01:16:30,839 --> 01:16:35,669
Three murders. Mary's death 15 years ago.
1178
01:16:35,775 --> 01:16:40,915
If you know any secret, any betrayal that must out,
1179
01:16:41,023 --> 01:16:44,643
now is the time to be true to your stars.
1180
01:16:58,367 --> 01:17:00,517
I did some more digging on Lawrence, sir.
1181
01:17:00,627 --> 01:17:03,757
Checked the local who's who on the Mercury website.
1182
01:17:03,859 --> 01:17:05,739
He's more than just a jogger.
1183
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,250
He won last year's Midsomer athletics decathlon.
1184
01:17:09,663 --> 01:17:11,163
So?
1185
01:17:11,262 --> 01:17:13,732
Well, there are ten events in the decathlon, right?
1186
01:17:13,834 --> 01:17:15,544
- Yeah. - Most are running events.
1187
01:17:15,641 --> 01:17:19,991
But three are the shot put, the javelin and the discus.
1188
01:17:20,090 --> 01:17:21,240
OK.
1189
01:17:21,341 --> 01:17:24,051
Our three murder weapons
1190
01:17:24,156 --> 01:17:26,586
are a rock as heavy as a shot put,
1191
01:17:26,694 --> 01:17:29,094
a spear and the moonstone disc.
1192
01:17:29,196 --> 01:17:31,316
And he's a Scorpio.
1193
01:17:32,741 --> 01:17:33,921
Mmm.
1194
01:17:34,027 --> 01:17:35,907
Gagan was convinced he'd found out
1195
01:17:36,008 --> 01:17:38,018
about their discovery of the new planet.
1196
01:17:38,128 --> 01:17:41,638
Maybe he's trying to get the kudos any way he can.
1197
01:17:41,743 --> 01:17:43,273
It's possible.
1198
01:17:43,378 --> 01:17:46,778
If Lawrence is back from his conference,
1199
01:17:46,888 --> 01:17:49,358
let's put it to him.
1200
01:17:50,850 --> 01:17:52,760
Right.
1201
01:17:54,812 --> 01:17:56,622
According to the Mercury,
1202
01:17:56,724 --> 01:17:59,304
you won last year's decathlon at the Midsomer Games.
1203
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:01,000
Yes, that's right.
1204
01:18:01,103 --> 01:18:03,503
(Jones) And you were at the eclipse on Moonstone Ridge
1205
01:18:03,606 --> 01:18:05,586
when Jeremy Harper was killed.
1206
01:18:05,691 --> 01:18:07,881
Along with everyone else.
1207
01:18:07,985 --> 01:18:10,795
I've already told you this, haven't I, Chief Inspector?
1208
01:18:10,905 --> 01:18:13,785
You were having an affair with Jeremy's wife, weren't you?
1209
01:18:13,894 --> 01:18:15,954
- Was I? - Jeremy found out, didn't he?
1210
01:18:16,048 --> 01:18:18,308
That's why he threatened your funding.
1211
01:18:18,412 --> 01:18:20,882
I don't think so, Sergeant.
1212
01:18:20,984 --> 01:18:23,904
Well, let's talk about Peter Groves, then.
1213
01:18:24,007 --> 01:18:26,647
Tanya Walker says you had an altercation with him
1214
01:18:26,754 --> 01:18:28,534
at her house the night he died.
1215
01:18:28,631 --> 01:18:31,101
A robust discussion.
1216
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,200
I was actually quite fond of Peter.
1217
01:18:35,304 --> 01:18:37,844
We shared an interest in the extraterrestrial.
1218
01:18:37,946 --> 01:18:41,976
(Barnaby) Did you know that Jeremy, Peter, George and Gagan
1219
01:18:42,081 --> 01:18:44,931
believed they'd discovered a new planet?
1220
01:18:45,036 --> 01:18:49,616
No. No. It's news to me. I had no idea.
1221
01:18:49,728 --> 01:18:54,248
Oh, you knew. You were openly hostile to the local amateurs.
1222
01:18:54,350 --> 01:18:57,480
- Three of whom are now dead. - Is that an accusation?
1223
01:18:57,583 --> 01:18:59,533
(Barnaby) It's an observation.
1224
01:18:59,634 --> 01:19:01,234
George Dormer was killed two days ago
1225
01:19:01,337 --> 01:19:03,137
between the hours of ten and midnight.
1226
01:19:03,248 --> 01:19:04,668
Where were you, Doctor?
1227
01:19:04,778 --> 01:19:07,348
Emergency meeting with Panelsun International
1228
01:19:07,455 --> 01:19:10,755
and the university board discussing future funding.
1229
01:19:10,860 --> 01:19:13,610
The meeting was due to finish at 11pm
1230
01:19:13,710 --> 01:19:15,830
but went on till one in the morning
1231
01:19:15,935 --> 01:19:18,435
before we reached agreement.
1232
01:19:20,140 --> 01:19:23,300
I'm sure they'll vouch for me.
1233
01:19:23,408 --> 01:19:27,368
I did not kill Jeremy or Peter or George.
1234
01:19:27,475 --> 01:19:30,875
This conversation, I think, is over.
1235
01:20:06,437 --> 01:20:08,727
No!
1236
01:20:11,790 --> 01:20:14,680
She phoned me yesterday, said she was going to go up north
1237
01:20:14,779 --> 01:20:19,679
to see her uncle, but she made a no-show there.
1238
01:20:21,347 --> 01:20:24,087
I called all night. No answer.
1239
01:20:24,197 --> 01:20:26,767
And you found the car here this morning?
1240
01:20:26,874 --> 01:20:30,454
I was frantic. I drove around everywhere.
1241
01:20:30,558 --> 01:20:33,508
When exactly did you last see her?
1242
01:20:33,616 --> 01:20:36,326
Yesterday afternoon she went to see her tutor Adrian.
1243
01:20:36,432 --> 01:20:40,292
You should... You should question him.
1244
01:20:40,394 --> 01:20:43,284
Why's that?
1245
01:20:43,383 --> 01:20:46,583
He and Gagan...
1246
01:20:46,685 --> 01:20:49,185
I saw them together at his cottage.
1247
01:20:49,883 --> 01:20:52,213
(Jones) Sir!
1248
01:20:54,470 --> 01:20:56,970
Excuse me.
1249
01:21:01,004 --> 01:21:03,794
It's a scorpion, sir.
1250
01:21:03,891 --> 01:21:06,291
Found it in the car. They think it's harmless.
1251
01:21:06,392 --> 01:21:09,242
It's been left here as a signature, then,
1252
01:21:09,346 --> 01:21:11,606
not an attempt to kill Gagan.
1253
01:21:12,302 --> 01:21:14,212
Anything else?
1254
01:21:14,317 --> 01:21:16,367
All the electrics in the car have failed.
1255
01:21:16,473 --> 01:21:19,603
Battery's drained. It's like one of my gran's tales.
1256
01:21:19,705 --> 01:21:21,295
It's spooky, eh?
1257
01:21:21,408 --> 01:21:24,048
Think it's been moonstruck, Jones? Something out there?
1258
01:21:24,154 --> 01:21:30,554
No, the lights were left on. It's gotta that, hasn't it?
1259
01:21:32,947 --> 01:21:35,547
Gagan is missing, Professor.
1260
01:21:35,658 --> 01:21:38,398
- Her car was found abandoned. - Missing?
1261
01:21:38,508 --> 01:21:41,808
Her father says that she visited you here yesterday.
1262
01:21:41,915 --> 01:21:46,355
She... She did, yes. She was very upset.
1263
01:21:46,467 --> 01:21:49,457
Do you usually hold tutorials at your cottage,
1264
01:21:49,561 --> 01:21:52,791
work so intimately with your students?
1265
01:21:53,837 --> 01:21:55,607
Closely, yes.
1266
01:21:55,714 --> 01:21:58,954
Mathematics requires intense focus.
1267
01:21:59,049 --> 01:22:02,349
But you are particularly close to Gagan.
1268
01:22:02,456 --> 01:22:04,296
I admire her.
1269
01:22:04,402 --> 01:22:06,772
Her father says it's more than that.
1270
01:22:06,870 --> 01:22:08,540
He saw you here with her yesterday.
1271
01:22:08,643 --> 01:22:13,093
- What? How? - Is it true?
1272
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:20,770
She... She did have something of a crush on me, yes.
1273
01:22:20,877 --> 01:22:23,407
It happens with students.
1274
01:22:23,519 --> 01:22:27,309
It was no more than that. She kissed me goodbye and left.
1275
01:22:27,411 --> 01:22:28,771
Did she say where she was going?
1276
01:22:28,871 --> 01:22:31,581
- Onto the ridge for a walk. - (phone rings)
1277
01:22:33,668 --> 01:22:36,658
Sorry. I need to take this.
1278
01:22:36,762 --> 01:22:38,502
Hi. Just hang on a sec.
1279
01:22:38,603 --> 01:22:42,153
For the record, what time did she leave you here yesterday?
1280
01:22:42,252 --> 01:22:43,712
At about four o'clock.
1281
01:22:43,817 --> 01:22:46,527
And you haven't seen her or heard from her since?
1282
01:22:46,632 --> 01:22:50,252
No. Gagan is very special.
1283
01:22:50,351 --> 01:22:53,101
- She's my star pupil. - (kettle whistles)
1284
01:22:53,201 --> 01:22:57,481
I do hope you can find her unharmed.
1285
01:22:59,631 --> 01:23:04,881
(Jones) Is she with you now? OK. We'll be ten minutes.
1286
01:23:06,478 --> 01:23:09,018
Mystic Mags just walked into the station.
1287
01:23:09,119 --> 01:23:11,279
Says she wants to confess.
1288
01:23:14,472 --> 01:23:19,232
Officers present DCI Barnaby and DS Jones.
1289
01:23:19,338 --> 01:23:22,258
Suspect present Margaret Dormer.
1290
01:23:23,613 --> 01:23:26,853
Ah, well, it all started at a party at our house
1291
01:23:26,950 --> 01:23:29,140
all those years ago.
1292
01:23:29,243 --> 01:23:31,643
- What happened? - Um...
1293
01:23:31,747 --> 01:23:34,457
We drank enough between us to fill a bath.
1294
01:23:34,561 --> 01:23:37,691
It was George, Jeremy and Mary and me,
1295
01:23:37,794 --> 01:23:40,964
and she and I got into a stupid row.
1296
01:23:41,061 --> 01:23:45,821
- About what? - Oh. She was a keen astronomer.
1297
01:23:45,927 --> 01:23:47,767
She said that what I did was hogwash.
1298
01:23:47,874 --> 01:23:49,754
And I shouted
1299
01:23:49,855 --> 01:23:55,275
and she pushed me and I grabbed her.
1300
01:23:56,911 --> 01:24:00,141
She tripped and fell down the stairs
1301
01:24:00,246 --> 01:24:02,046
and she was dead.
1302
01:24:02,158 --> 01:24:03,898
I didn't mean to.
1303
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:08,000
It was a complete accident.
1304
01:24:09,423 --> 01:24:13,213
We all agreed to say that Mary had been fine
1305
01:24:13,315 --> 01:24:16,685
when she left the party.
1306
01:24:16,792 --> 01:24:20,862
And then George took the body onto the ridge.
1307
01:24:22,736 --> 01:24:25,756
And you all stuck to that story?
1308
01:24:25,864 --> 01:24:27,534
When you start something like that,
1309
01:24:27,635 --> 01:24:29,785
there's no stop button, is there?
1310
01:24:31,077 --> 01:24:35,597
You were right, Inspector. I read my chart.
1311
01:24:37,889 --> 01:24:40,739
It was written in the stars.
1312
01:24:42,790 --> 01:24:46,130
I know you think I'm batty, living on a different planet.
1313
01:24:46,230 --> 01:24:52,630
But, I mean, is the world you live in really any saner?
1314
01:24:54,225 --> 01:24:57,905
I doubt whether the CPS will prosecute Mags.
1315
01:24:58,013 --> 01:24:59,863
Both key witnesses are dead.
1316
01:24:59,960 --> 01:25:01,280
Whoever killed them and Peter
1317
01:25:01,384 --> 01:25:03,854
has been consistently muddying the waters
1318
01:25:03,957 --> 01:25:06,387
and playing games with us.
1319
01:25:06,494 --> 01:25:09,804
The weapons. The Scorpio signatures.
1320
01:25:09,900 --> 01:25:11,330
- Sir. - What?
1321
01:25:11,429 --> 01:25:14,589
Gagan's mobile provider sent through a list of her calls.
1322
01:25:14,697 --> 01:25:21,227
Her last call was yesterday, 4:45 to Adrian.
1323
01:25:21,335 --> 01:25:25,255
He told me his last contact with her was at four o'clock.
1324
01:25:25,366 --> 01:25:27,516
Well, that's a lie.
1325
01:25:27,626 --> 01:25:31,686
So she called Harry to tell him that she was heading up north
1326
01:25:31,797 --> 01:25:36,487
and then she called Adrian to tell him she was leaving.
1327
01:25:37,150 --> 01:25:39,580
Yes. Yes.
1328
01:25:39,687 --> 01:25:42,017
The first time I met Adrian,
1329
01:25:42,119 --> 01:25:45,529
he talked about the uncertainty principle.
1330
01:25:45,630 --> 01:25:51,500
He said how we look at things affects what we believe we see.
1331
01:25:51,608 --> 01:25:54,388
We have been steered to look at this
1332
01:25:54,494 --> 01:25:55,754
so that we would believe
1333
01:25:55,849 --> 01:25:59,599
that Lawrence is our man, Adrian's boss.
1334
01:25:59,707 --> 01:26:00,987
But Adrian has an alibi
1335
01:26:01,096 --> 01:26:03,246
for the night the Moonstone disc was stolen.
1336
01:26:03,356 --> 01:26:05,956
No, he gave Gagan that alibi
1337
01:26:06,067 --> 01:26:09,257
when I was quizzing her about stealing data.
1338
01:26:09,369 --> 01:26:11,659
They were lovers. She thought he was covering for her.
1339
01:26:11,768 --> 01:26:14,998
But, actually, he was creating an alibi for himself.
1340
01:26:15,104 --> 01:26:20,214
We need to find Gagan now and pray that she's still alive.
1341
01:26:24,454 --> 01:26:26,824
I'm sorry it had to be like this.
1342
01:26:26,922 --> 01:26:29,602
I'd hoped we might collaborate.
1343
01:26:29,702 --> 01:26:32,412
You knew about the new planet all along?
1344
01:26:32,518 --> 01:26:35,578
I hacked your computer, but I couldn't locate the exact star
1345
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:38,110
you'd been monitoring.
1346
01:26:39,434 --> 01:26:42,564
You killed people, Adrian,
1347
01:26:42,667 --> 01:26:46,317
just to get the glory of claiming a new discovery.
1348
01:26:51,391 --> 01:26:52,961
What about me?
1349
01:26:53,963 --> 01:26:57,023
I needed you alive, Gagan,
1350
01:26:57,125 --> 01:27:01,085
or I'd have been chasing shadows.
1351
01:27:04,111 --> 01:27:06,931
Show me the star.
1352
01:27:15,790 --> 01:27:18,570
- No sign of him. - Come and look at this.
1353
01:27:18,675 --> 01:27:21,135
In one of the sheds.
1354
01:27:22,602 --> 01:27:25,212
There. There.
1355
01:27:25,313 --> 01:27:30,493
The light's dipped. A definite transit.
1356
01:27:32,334 --> 01:27:34,734
Congratulations.
1357
01:27:37,757 --> 01:27:40,047
- Her coat. - You were right, sir.
1358
01:27:40,154 --> 01:27:43,704
As soon as Adrian knew she was headed up north, he grabbed her.
1359
01:27:43,805 --> 01:27:46,265
But where are they?
1360
01:27:48,810 --> 01:27:52,390
The planet. The new planet.
1361
01:27:52,493 --> 01:27:54,963
Gagan said its orbit would be confirmed tonight.
1362
01:27:55,064 --> 01:27:58,614
- The observatory. - No, no. It's too public.
1363
01:27:58,715 --> 01:28:01,595
The astrodome. Moonstone Ridge.
1364
01:28:01,704 --> 01:28:05,154
(Gagan) You can claim the planet. I don't care.
1365
01:28:05,249 --> 01:28:07,859
I'll say nothing, I swear.
1366
01:28:08,620 --> 01:28:11,440
I could trust you.
1367
01:28:12,618 --> 01:28:15,118
This could be our planet.
1368
01:28:17,518 --> 01:28:20,128
But I trusted Lawrence once.
1369
01:28:20,229 --> 01:28:23,389
He was my student, my star pupil.
1370
01:28:25,373 --> 01:28:27,533
Just like you.
1371
01:28:27,633 --> 01:28:29,893
And he cheated me of the directorship.
1372
01:28:29,996 --> 01:28:31,866
Please, Adrian!
1373
01:28:41,257 --> 01:28:44,937
That's Adrian's car. Check in the astrodome.
1374
01:28:45,046 --> 01:28:50,846
I'll call my new planet Gagandipika in memory of you.
1375
01:28:52,483 --> 01:28:54,923
This is madness! No!
1376
01:28:55,682 --> 01:28:58,252
No! Adrian!
1377
01:28:59,922 --> 01:29:03,992
Open up! Open up! Police!
1378
01:29:04,997 --> 01:29:07,807
Police! Open up!
1379
01:29:07,916 --> 01:29:11,386
Adrian, open the door now!
1380
01:29:11,496 --> 01:29:13,436
(Jones) Open up! Police!
1381
01:29:13,546 --> 01:29:15,526
(Barnaby) Open up! Open the door!
1382
01:29:15,632 --> 01:29:17,862
- (banging) - Open up!
1383
01:29:20,254 --> 01:29:22,694
Open the door!
1384
01:29:26,336 --> 01:29:28,316
- That's him! - Gagan.
1385
01:29:28,422 --> 01:29:31,342
- Please! - Gagan, Gagan.
1386
01:29:31,446 --> 01:29:33,566
Gagan, can you hear me?!
1387
01:29:45,488 --> 01:29:47,188
(engine fails to start)
1388
01:29:47,295 --> 01:29:49,065
Start, damn you! Start!
1389
01:29:49,172 --> 01:29:53,412
It's not going anywhere, Adrian, and neither are you.
1390
01:30:07,490 --> 01:30:09,680
I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry.
1391
01:30:09,784 --> 01:30:12,844
It's OK. You're safe now.
1392
01:30:16,004 --> 01:30:18,304
Weird how Adrian's car wouldn't start.
1393
01:30:18,403 --> 01:30:21,913
- The Moonstone curse, sir. - Could be.
1394
01:30:22,017 --> 01:30:26,947
Or it could be that I nicked the rotor arm out of his engine.
1395
01:30:32,236 --> 01:30:34,666
Home.
1396
01:30:44,157 --> 01:30:47,357
You going out on an undercover job?
1397
01:30:47,460 --> 01:30:49,620
- No, it's Kate's birthday, sir. - Ah.
1398
01:30:49,719 --> 01:30:53,129
She said come dressed to kill. What do you think?
1399
01:30:53,229 --> 01:30:56,009
I'm sure you'll knock 'em dead.
1400
01:30:56,113 --> 01:31:00,603
You left this in the car. So you had Mags do your chart.
1401
01:31:00,703 --> 01:31:04,043
No, no. It's a wind-up. It's rubbish.
1402
01:31:04,143 --> 01:31:05,713
She got my details off my gran.
1403
01:31:05,812 --> 01:31:07,382
Oh, I thought it was interesting.

01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:11,029
She predicts a close encounter for you this weekend.
1405
01:31:11,129 --> 01:31:13,459
Yeah, I'll probably crash the car.
1406
01:31:13,563 --> 01:31:15,963
So you're not up for this, then?
1407
01:31:16,064 --> 01:31:21,594
Um, no. Sarah and I thought we'd have a quiet night in.
1408
01:31:21,695 --> 01:31:25,515
Just the two of us and a scented candle.
1409
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,800
- Well, have a good one. - You too, Jones.
1410
01:31:30,907 --> 01:31:33,827
Whatever fate awaits you.
