All language subtitles for Lewis s09.04

It's not only Christ who can forgive
sins. So can we.

HATHAWAY: The victim is a college
dean, Phil Beskin.

Oh, my God. You did it, didn't you?

It works, Carina.

How is it literally possible
to become as Christ?

Where were you last night? I was with
you all night, wasn't I, sir? Sure.

Thanks for covering. No problem.

Laura's idea is to be on hand
for the birth of her niece's baby,

mine to see a bit of the world while
we're still young enough to enjoy it.

Far, far too late for you.

Sorry I'd like to, but I just can't
make tonight.

Gina!

About his tattoo.

His what? Phil Beskin had the same
and he's dead.

The sacred art.

Nigredo being the first stage of
the Great Work, the Magnum Opus.

This could be just the beginning.

(Birdsong)

(Grunts)

Looks like she was strangled and
then tied to the post.

Holding her body in place so the
river washes continually over her.
Time?

Educated guess between 12:00 and
4:00am.

There's a head wound, but I'll know
more after the post-mortem.

Great. More alchemy.

So the pattern's the same, but this
time they came by boat.

(Unzipping)

(Mobile phone rings)

Victim Annapurna Kinneson is
a linguistics lecturer.

Waiting to speak to her head of
department. Check out her movements
yesterday?

Her husband's already said she went
for a drink at the Waterman's with
Jay Fennell.

OK. Let's set up a search along the
riverbank between here and there.

OK.

(Chatter over police radios)

Both the deaths were out in the
open, theatrically staged.

The staging may be sophisticated but
the manner isn't.

Phil Beskin battered over the head
with a rock, Annapurna Kinneson
strangled.

Crude, angry acts.

Is this somebody on a moral crusade
who thinks Annapurna Kinneson needed
to be purified?

If so, why? What had she done?

What had Phil Beskin done?

In terms of the Great Work, we've
had nigredo and albedo.

The third stage is citrinitas.

Associated with the male gender, the
sun and yellow if that's any help.

Play nice.

I gather one of our key suspects in
this case is a student, Nate
Hedesan.

You were keeping tabs on him?

Yes, and I lost him, sir.

To be fair, we don't know if there's
any link

between Nate Hedesan and Annapurna
Kinneson.

Actually, we do.

According to Lizzie, Mrs Kinneson's
head of department just called

to confirm Hedesan is one of
her students.

So she kicked him off the course
a few days ago.

Just find him.

Never mind Moody, listen to me.

Get yourself home
and get cleaned up.

No, I need to speak to Hedesan.

I can do that with Maddox.
Get home, have a shower.

You look a right state and you're
starting to stink.

(Mobile ringtone)

Hey, Nell.

How could you do that?
We waited for ages.

I hate that place. He was waiting
for us, for you.

Not exactly the white heat of
academic endeavour in here, is it,
lad?

What do you want?

Well, you can start by telling us why
you got booted off your linguistics
course.

You're the detective.

Too much like hard work and the
tutor did my head in.

Mrs Kinneson, I believe.

Were you angry that she'd kicked you
off? Never been happier.

Hanging out at the Blue Rondo two
nights in a row can't help your
studies.

Last night you arrived at 10:45.

You been following me or something?

Two nights ago, you settled your
bill just before midnight and then
you left.

Whereas you told us you were there
all night.

What time did you leave last night?
GINA: He left about 1:30.

With me.

Can anyone vouch for your being
there?

This help?

Ow.

Hey, let me see.

Not here, Sam. Someone might see.

You shouldn't have to do this.

You barely know me, Sam.
Well, I'm working on it.

I wouldn't if I were you.

Now go on. Get lost.

(Clears throat)

Someone looks happy.

Yep. I need a favour, though.
Can I take half a day?

Nate's taking me punting,
don't you know?

I hope you know what you're doing.

I do. We made up.

Oh, can I, please?

You can get us a brew first, skiver.

(Bell rings)

Mr Kinneson?

(Bell rings again)

Robert.

Blood.

The blood is...
is from a fishing trip.

I... I caught my arm on a fish hook.

We'll need to get Forensics
to check.

Where were you last night,
Mr Kinneson?

Here all evening.

Your wife had a tattoo.
As did Phil Beskin.

As does Jay Fennell. Do you?

Am I right in saying it's a symbol
of a mystical order created by
Charles Williams,

called the Companions Of The
Co-Inherence?

Have you revived the order?

We're gonna need a list of the
members.

We think you might all be being
targeted.

You're in danger.

OK. There's about a dozen of us.

We vowed not to talk about it.

Can you think of someone who might
have opposed the revival?

Someone who was thrown out?
Rejected?

You argued with Phil Beskin. Why?

I'm publishing some rare writings of
Williams.

Phil didn't think I should.
It's...no big deal.

And Carina Beskin, is she a member
of your group?

Does she have the tattoo?

No. No, Carina's not interested.

We know that Dax Kinneson had a spat
with Phil Beskin.

We just found blood in his boat,
whatever he says about it.

Why kill his wife? He may have had
the means, but no motive that we know
of.

And what is the motive for targeting
a bunch of seemingly spiritual
people?

Even spiritual people get messed up
sometimes, don't they?

They've all got secrets, skeletons.

We should be delving into their
past.

What about Wouter Eisler?

I hear he's not a fan of Williams.

He's also got the alchemy link.

That's a good point. He's definitely
hiding something.

He dedicates all his books to
someone called Chen.

Maddox, do you mind doing a name
check on Chen for me?

Yeah.

A word.

I asked Hathaway for a full report
on the investigation on my desk this
morning.

Sir.

Two words. "Investigation ongoing."

He was never great at paperwork.

Hello, yes. Erm...Carina Beskin.

I had a couple of questions.

He has a problem with authority and
a blatant disregard for status.

As do all good detectives.

I learned that from the best.

And this is eight years ago?

No, no, you've been very helpful.
Thank you.

I had hoped that your presence
might...help.

Part of your remit. You know, like
a...father figure.

A father figure?

With all due respect, sir, I'm a
detective.

I'm not a nanny.

Anyway, I'm going to be away for six
months soon.

How do you think Hathaway'll cope in
your absence?

He'll be fine.
He'd better be.

Or I'm going to have to bring
someone else in.

What do you mean, "someone else"?
I don't know.

But sands can shift, can't they?

See you later.

Sorry to have to inform you that
Annapurna Kinneson was found
murdered this morning.

What?

An alchemic symbol was found with
her body.

Do you know anything about that?

No.

You see, I checked with your
college.

Yes, you're a scout, but you also
studied here.

Double first in theology. PhD,
Fellowship,

then eight years ago it all unravels
and now you need to tell me why.

I... I had a crisis.

Of faith. It happens.

Is that why you're not in your
friends' group?

(Sighs)

No.

Do you know of any reason why anyone
would want to harm Annapurna
Kinneson?

No. Know of any disagreement between
your brother and Dax Kinneson

about some unpublished Williams'
writings? Tell me now.

It wasn't writings. They...

They fell out over a ritual.

A ritual.

(Bell jangles)

What happened? I've just seen
Mr Kinneson.

Tray got knocked over, that's all.
No big deal.

He's upset about Annapurna.

We all are.

Why did he want to see you?

Is he scared because he's a potential
target, is that it?

Cos we can protect you, if it is.

No, no. I don't want that.

He just wanted to check that
Annapurna was OK last night.

And was she? More than. She was
really happy.

The two of you went back a long way,
I gather?

Before Dax.

We have a shared interest in Charles
Williams.

Carina started an informal group and
we all attended.

So Carina was into Charles Williams,
but isn't any more.

Is that right?
Yeah.

Does this mean anything to you?

I don't know anything about
alchemical images.

I didn't say it was alchemical.

I've seen enough to recognise
the style.

You OK, Mr Fennell?

I'm fine. I'm just upset.

Something happened to Carina Beskin
eight years ago.

She goes from being post-graduate
prodigy to cleaner and girlfriend of
Binman Sam.

Sam Langton? "Binman"?

Well, it's room-cleaning etiquette,
same as at Cambridge.

Leave your bin out if you don't want
the cleaner to come in.

No bin out, cleaner comes in. Never
leave your bin out, cleaner comes in
a lot,

hence the nickname "Binman".

Maybe he's just tidy.

I'll try harder with Moody.

I didn't ask you to.

All set for the grand tour?

Counting down the days. Aren't we?

Absolutely.
Annapurna Kinneson.

Autopsy confirms there was no water
in her lungs.

Added to which, the absence of
diatoms in her blood

indicates she was dead before
she entered the water.

Head wound?
Deep traces of varnish.

Consistent with taking a whack in
the rowing boat.

She was strangled before she was put
into the boat.

Moving a corpse is never
easy...bang!

Maddox.

Forensics got back about Dax
Kinneson's boat.

The blood they found was his
and his alone.

And how about the riverside search?

They're doing everything they can.

I will go and chase them up.

Wouter Eisler's dedication to Chen.

It's a common Chinese surname or
a Hebrew word meaning grace.

As in Phil Beskin's wife?

Yeah. I think he dedicates his books
to her.

Will you speak to both of them?

What's your leaflet?

My dad needed some help,
so I gave it to him.

I said, "Call the number, speak to
the person on the other end of the
line."

Someone I knew once.
And did he?

No. But he kept this, funnily
enough.

How is your dad?
He's fine, thanks.

And your sister?
Oh, no.

OK if I go?
Of course.

Gina. Be careful, yeah?

(Bell jangles)

(Mobile phone rings)

Jay?

I need to talk to you.

No, I can't right now.

The police? No, wait. OK, let's meet.

Sorry, I've gotta go.

Bye.

Dr Eisler?

Why have you dedicated all your books
to another man's wife?

Grace Beskin?

Grace? No, don't be ridiculous.

I'll just go and ask her, then,
shall I?

OK, why should I be ashamed?

I fell for Grace some years ago,

but sadly it's not a feeling that's
reciprocated.

But I live in hope.

Are you having an affair with her?

If only. Grace won't countenance
such a thing.

Well, maybe those chances have
improved in light of Phil Beskin's
death.

Seemingly not.

How well do you get on with
Annapurna Kinneson?

We're not close. Why?

First Phil, then Annapurna.

I know. Two down, two to go.

If it's connected.
Course it's connected.

Once is a coincidence, twice is
a vendetta.

Who by? We're the only ones who know
what happened.

Which means it's either me...or you.

(Sizzling)

Police, please.

I might not have been having sex
within my marriage

but that doesn't mean it's OK to
have sex with someone else.

But you do have feelings for
Dr Eisler?

Yes. Although since Phil died,
they're mainly feelings of guilt.

(Mobile phone rings)
Given his feelings for you,

do you think his frustrations could
drive him to...other extremes?

Please, God, I hope not.

That's great, if he wants to talk.

Tell Mr Fennell that DI Hathaway and
I will be right over.

(Mobile phone rings)

Yeah, Robert?

(Door closes)

(Bell jangles)

(Bell jangles)
GINA: Jay?

Find out who owns the boat.

Where had you been?

Er...to meet Nate.

We were meant to go punting, but he
didn't turn up.

So Nate knew that you weren't
in the shop?

Where is he now?

Gina, Jay wanted to say something to
us. Do you know what it might have
been?

Earlier, when Mr Kinneson kicked off,
what was that really about?

He said his wife had been killed

and he wanted to know what had
happened.

Happened when?

Erm...Jay wouldn't say. Ages ago.

Mr Kinneson flipped out, shouting
he was carrying his wife's guilt

and he wanted Jay to tell him why.

Signs of a struggle. No quote or
image this time.

Much messier.

It's interesting what she says about
guilt.

Williams was into a process called
substitution where you take on other
people's burdens,

transferring them literally onto
yourself.

How do you do that?
Rituals.

What did you mean, you were carrying
your wife's guilt?

Her guilt for what?
I don't know.

It's about the ritual, isn't it?

Alleviating people of their burdens.

Anna was haunted by guilt for
something that happened in her past
before I met her.

I relieved her from that.
From what, though?

What happened?
I've no idea.

Did you ask?
A thousand times.

This event from her past, did it also
involve Phil Beskin and Jay Fennell?

Yes. But it's their secret.

And what happened to Carina Beskin
eight years ago is her secret.

What does it have to do with
alchemy?

I've no idea.

Mr Kinneson, may I see the ritual,
please?

Might be relevant.

Any word on that boat or Nate
Hedesan's whereabouts yet?

OK, Lizzie, listen.

Take uniform, see if you can find
Sam Langton.

He might know where Nate is.

Nah, we're...well, Hathaway's getting
some religious uplift.

Did the entire group perform
the ritual?

Not Jay. Phil a while ago...
and Anna yesterday.

(Door opens)

Where have you been? I've been
worried.

Er...I just got caught up.

Jay's dead.

Jay?
Somebody killed him.

What's that?
Nothing. It can wait.

You're breaking up with me?

Sorry. We're not gonna work.

But we said we'd try.

There's someone else. At the club.

Mr Hedesan, we need to talk to you.

Interesting.

I was promised "relevant".

Phil had done the ritual, Annapurna
had done the ritual,

and as a result both of them are
forgiven.

This is about forgiveness. It's got
nothing to do with alchemy.

So somebody wasn't happy about them
being forgiven.

What about Jay Fennell? Has he done
this ritual thing?

Apparently not.

Can you let them know?

Where were you this afternoon
between 1:00 and 3:00?

Trying to pluck up the courage to do
what I've just done.

With your new girlfriend, more like.

Ah, when I said I was at the club
with him, I wasn't.

I went there, but I couldn't find
him.

Yeah.

Now.

Nate Hedesan's alibi has just fallen
through.

Gina Doran was lying for him.
Back in the frame.

As is Carina Beskin. I just spoke to
Forensics.

They found muddy boot prints in that
boat, mud thick with limestone.

Which is important, why?
Oxford's built on clay.

You have to go right out almost to
Burford to find the limestone stuff.

Also, tissue fibres from the head
wound match,

so Annapurna Kinneson was definitely
in that boat.

Both boats registered to Phil Beskin.

What are you thinking, Grace Beskin?

She says her and her husband hardly
use them, but Carina does. She rowed
for the university.

I row every morning.

Helps to burn off some of
my tension.

What is it?

Jay?

We know about the ritual, we know
what it does.

What we don't know is what happened
eight years ago

between you and your brother and
Mrs Kinneson and Jay Fennell.

All of whom are now dead.

Which means either you're guilty of
multiple murder or you're in real
danger.

Why didn't Jay do the ritual?

Because...he just didn't feel
the need to.

There are many ways of forgiving
yourself.

Belief? Simple faith?

Mm.

Jay felt those things more than the
rest of us.

My brother and Annapurna needed
something else.

Something more.

What about you?

I don't think you can magic those
things away.

We just want to find out who killed
your friends before something else
happens.

You could be next.

If that's what it takes.

I'm processing full background checks
on all the victims.

But eight years ago? It's going to
take a while.

OK, I'll catch up with you.

I'll see you there.

Hello?

Hi, it's James.

Can I come and see you, Father?

The cause of death, stab wound to
the chest.

Yellow thrown on him afterwards.

To symbolise the coming of
enlightenment and to mirror the sun,
apparently.

Japanese Yakuza needle inserted
beneath the xiphoid process

at the base of the sternum straight
into the heart.

Death wouldn't have been immediate.

The needle's been forced straight
through the centre of the tattoo.

Somebody is not a fan.

Dr Eisler? Grace Beskin?

There's one more stage. Rubedo.

Meaning completion, redness.
And blood.

Great.

(Flames crackling)

(Bells chime)

A while since we've seen you.

17 years.

I would have thought you'd have
given up in that time.

Ditto.

Still running? Oh, you know.

Funny thing, faith, isn't it?

(Laughs)

Actually, I meant still running.

Oh. Erm, no.

I er... I took up rowing at
Cambridge.

You were good at cross-country.

That's probably down to those extra
morning runs you sent me on as
punishments.

(Chuckles) There is that.

So you became a policeman?

For my sins.

A very good one, I gather.
Oxfordshire police.

And a detective inspector now,
I hear.

All that discipline, you see?

What do you mean, you hear?

Your father told me.

How is he? Why are you talking
to my father?

You told him to come and see me.

Yeah, years ago.

Indeed it was. He kept coming.

More after your mother died.

What for?

That's between me and him, really.

Dad's erm...not well, Placid.

He's erm... He's losing his mind.

I erm...

He came to talk about you.

How he felt bad about being
a distant parent.

That it was too late to turn back
the clock.

How he wished you and Nell saw more
of each other.

I can't believe he came.

Come and have some breakfast.

Stay for our conference. You'd like
it.

A series of lectures about Giordano
Bruno,

"Hero or Heretic?"

Hero, surely?
(Laughs)

What sort of conference is it?

An esoteric conference. A joint
venture with another spiritual group.

We provide the theology,

they bring the mystery traditions.

Do you have a computer and wi-fi
here?

We're monks, James, not cavemen.
Come on.

(Mobile phone rings)

Yeah?
There was a conference

in the Tickenham area near Bristol
eight years ago.

Check with local plod for any
incidents reported around November
time.

I've figured the link.

Alchemy is an esoteric tradition.

Williams believed in an esoteric
form of Christianity, there are
conferences on this stuff.

This one, about a Christian mystic
called AE Waite.

He influenced Williams and he wrote
on alchemy.

Two talks, guess who was at them?

"Phil Beskin. Annapurna Kinneson."
MADDOX: Here we go.

Fatality recorded. A car accident.

Francis Fisher was knocked over and
all of our four were in the car.

Was there a police investigation?
And an inquest.

The coroner recorded a verdict of
accidental death.

Cos they weren't charged, there was
nothing on the system.

Someone disagreed with the verdict.

Check on Fisher. Find out if he was
married, where he lives and if he
had any children.

Under "occupation", it says he was
a practising alchemist.

Grace said you'd be here.

We know about Francis Fisher.

(Sighs)

If the death was ruled accidental,
why do you feel so guilty?

Why do you think?

Because they got it wrong.

According to the inquest, your
brother was driving a car...

No, no. I was.

I was drunk.

We'd spent the evening in the pub.

When I reached the grounds er...

I turned the headlights off.

We'd been warned not to stay out
late

and I was trying to sneak back in
without being seen.

We were showing off...mucking about.

Phil had been surfing on top of the
car.

He was getting in through the back
window.

Anna was laughing, I was laughing.

Jay was pushing Phil to the front
seat and then...bang.

Out of nowhere.
I didn't even see him.

How come you weren't charged?

Well...we lied.

Phil said he was driving and,
weirdly, he was under the limit.

We didn't mention the headlights.

So you got away with it and
all agreed not to tell anyone.

We were all...haunted by it.

But...the others found Williams.

And his concept of forgiveness.

You couldn't, could you?

No.

My...faith...or my guilt...

..wouldn't let me.

Never will.

So who else knows? Fisher's dead,
who else is there?

I've no idea.

Sir?

Fisher?
Widowed.

But there were two sons.

Elder one, Leslie, in the Royal
Marines currently on exercise in
Canada.

And younger son, John.

Age of the younger son?

21.
Nate Hedesan?

Can we check if Fisher was black,
please? Yeah.

Hedesan lied about his movements on
both nights.

He got Gina out of the tattoo shop
on the promise of punting.

I think he's changed his name,

he's gone to the college
where Phil Beskin works,

he's enrolled on Annapurna
Kinneson's course,

befriended Gina
in order to meet Jay.

What about the boat? Phil Beskin
could have told him about it.

He got close to each and every one
of them.

(Knock on door)

We met at the Blue Rondo a while
back

but something only happened between
us two nights ago.

Mr Kinneson?
I'm bisexual.

Anna knew. Somehow we made it work.

The night Phil Beskin was murdered.

Nate was with me, in a hotel.

We went there straight after the
club. I can give you the name.

We didn't see each other
the next night.

I went to the club, but then I got
your message that you weren't
coming,

so I headed back to college.

Why didn't you meet Gina?
Dax needed me.

We met at a chapel.

Nate, did anyone else know that you
were taking Gina punting?

Erm...I don't know. Sam?

S...Sam Langton?

So he would have known Gina wasn't at
the tattoo parlour?

Did he know Jay?

He was the person that first took me
to the parlour.

That's how I met Gina.
What about Annapurna?

She wasn't his regular tutor.
Not officially.

She'd agreed to tutor his
dissertation.

Fisher was Caucasian and Nate
Hedesan's parents check out.

What about Sam Langton?

Er...funded by a trust.

Sam!

Home address.
The Forge, Balcon Lane,

outside Burford.

Where the limestone is.

(Siren blares)

(Siren approaching)

Carina. Where's Sam?

Er...I don't know.
Did he tell you who he was?

How do you mean?
Stay here.

John?

Dad used to love it out here.

Hour after hour, practising
his alchemy.

Is all this really what your dad
would have wanted?

I'll never know.

You've lived all alone here ever
since, what, you were 13?

I lived with my brother till a
couple of years back. He took his
anger elsewhere.

Ah.

Say sorry to Gina. Here's her phone.

Who... Who were you hoping to kill
with that? Carina?

She is nothing like the others.

Because she can't forgive herself?
It's not for them to decide they're
forgiven.

But it's not for you, either.

This isn't a spiritual process.

This is about you playing judge
and jury.

No. There has to be justice.

So what's the plan if Carina's
to live?

Then it's finished. I complete
the fourth stage.

No, no. Just wait. Carina! Wait.

Please, think about it.
It isn't over, Sam.

She's never going to let herself off
the hook, but you can.

If you truly love her, you can
release her.

I forgive you.

You forgive me for what?

For killing my father.

What?

What have you done?

You killed my brother
and my friends?

I just missed my dad so much.

Well done, James.

Thank you, sir.
You were right.

He'll be fine without you.

Are you coming for a drink?
Robbie's buying.

I would do, but I've got a girls'
night.

Another one?
I know, yeah.

Ah, Bex. You've met Bex before,
haven't you?

Bex is my new next door neighbour.

Her husband is away also, so we've
been keeping each other company.

BOTH: Pint?

There you go.

To your travels.

I haven't gone yet.

It's all right, you can admit it.

Admit what?

That you're gonna miss me very,
very, very much.

As if.

You made up with your sister yet?

The peace process has begun.

We are spending the weekend at
a retreat in Ilchester Abbey.

A retreat? To get in her good books?

What if she doesn't like it?
She'll do her nut.

No, she won't.

It is a silent one.
