1
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:14,490
Very good. 

2
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:34,390
This is an ungodly outrage! 

3
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,860
Oh, dear. 

4
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,560
No! 

5
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,690
This is lovely. 

6
00:03:51,020 --> 00:03:52,860
Two evenings out in one week. 

7
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:54,200
Two? 

8
00:03:54,310 --> 00:03:55,690
You're looking after Betty 

9
00:03:55,810 --> 00:03:57,610
- tomorrow night, remember?
- Ah, yes. 

10
00:03:57,730 --> 00:04:01,160
Your first time in sole charge. Nervous? 

11
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,620
No. I've got it all planned. 

12
00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:05,910
We're going to watch a classic film. 

13
00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:07,530
“Fantasia”? 

14
00:04:07,660 --> 00:04:10,660
"A Thirst For Blood“ or maybe" The Mummy Rises.“ 

15
00:04:10,790 --> 00:04:12,330
Betty can choose. 

16
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:16,050
You looking forward to your wild night out? 

17
00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:20,010
Can't wait. 

18
00:04:23,220 --> 00:04:24,680
Yes, Nelson? 

19
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,180
Sorry, sir.

20
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,680
St. Cyprian's Church, Midsomer Oaks. 

21
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:30,850
I'm afraid it looks like murder. 

22
00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:44,540
You ducked out early, did you, Magnus? 

23
00:04:44,650 --> 00:04:46,780
Luke. 

24
00:04:46,910 --> 00:04:50,330
There's been an accident. 

25
00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:55,710
Severe cranial trauma from the impact of the box. 

26
00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:58,760
There are also two separate
penetrations in the neck 

27
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,630
from shards of Perspex. 

28
00:05:00,750 --> 00:05:03,470
There was a flash and a bang before the box fell, 

29
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:06,430
but the audience thought it was part of the act. 

30
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:08,720
It looked like a terrible
accident, but it wasn't. 

31
00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:10,810
This was done with explosives.

32
00:05:10,930 --> 00:05:13,650
What do we know about the victim? 

33
00:05:13,770 --> 00:05:16,360
Hannah Altman, owned the village pub. 

34
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,610
Tonight was a church fundraiser,
and she was playing the piano. 

35
00:05:19,730 --> 00:05:21,730
And the magician in the box? 

36
00:05:21,860 --> 00:05:23,530
Gideon Latimer. 

37
00:05:23,650 --> 00:05:25,370
He's a famous illusionist. 

38
00:05:25,490 --> 00:05:27,830
This was one of his signature stunts. 

39
00:05:27,950 --> 00:05:29,920
And why was this famous illusionist 

40
00:05:30,030 --> 00:05:32,290
performing in a church in Midsomer Oaks? 

41
00:05:32,410 --> 00:05:35,210
He owns Melmoth Hall, the big
house outside the village. 

42
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:42,470
So who was meant to die...
The magician or the publican?

43
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:45,260
Well, they can't keep us here all night. 

44
00:05:45,380 --> 00:05:46,850
You've already spoken to the police, Carole. 

45
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:48,340
Why don't you just go? 

46
00:05:48,470 --> 00:05:50,770
What went wrong? 

47
00:05:50,890 --> 00:05:52,260
I don't know. 

48
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:54,190
We've done that stunt a dozen times. 

49
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:57,060
You're Gideon's manager now. 

50
00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:59,110
How could you let an accident like that happen? 

51
00:05:59,230 --> 00:06:01,070
I'm sure it wasn't Theo's fault. 

52
00:06:01,190 --> 00:06:03,690
D.C.I. Barnaby, Causton C.I.D. 

53
00:06:03,820 --> 00:06:05,740
Sir, this is Gideon Latimer. 

54
00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:08,790
Mr. Barnaby, my son has had a terrible shock, 

55
00:06:08,910 --> 00:06:10,370
and he needs to go home. 

56
00:06:10,490 --> 00:06:12,290
Not before I've spoken to him, Mrs. Latimer.

57
00:06:12,410 --> 00:06:15,410
But if you've given your
statement, you're free to leave. 

58
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,760
Luke! Please! 

59
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,730
It's all preprogrammed. 

60
00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:35,270
Gideon's performance is timed
down to the last second. 

61
00:06:35,390 --> 00:06:38,190
- Who rigged the equipment?
- Theo and I did this afternoon. 

62
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:40,280
And you did all your standard safety checks? 

63
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,520
Yes. 

64
00:06:41,650 --> 00:06:42,940
The church was unlocked all afternoon 

65
00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:44,410
while everything was being set up. 

66
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,450
Could anyone have had access 

67
00:06:46,570 --> 00:06:48,790
to the rig after your final checks? 

68
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:51,410
It's possible. 

69
00:06:51,530 --> 00:06:55,040
How many people knew that
the box would be revealed

70
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,960
while Hannah Altman was playing? 

71
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,250
All of us. 

72
00:06:58,370 --> 00:07:01,250
Anyone else involved in organizing the concert. 

73
00:07:01,370 --> 00:07:02,840
And the vicar said he'd tell her, 

74
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,130
the pianist, so she wouldn't freak out. 

75
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,800
How well did you know Hannah Altman? 

76
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,920
Not at all. 

77
00:07:08,050 --> 00:07:10,350
We hadn't met her before tonight. 

78
00:07:10,470 --> 00:07:11,970
You never go to the local pub? 

79
00:07:12,090 --> 00:07:14,270
We haven't lived in Midsomer Oaks for long. 

80
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:16,980
Gideon only bought Melmoth Hall a few months ago, 

81
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:18,270
and we've been touring. 

82
00:07:25,690 --> 00:07:27,780
Luke... 

83
00:07:34,450 --> 00:07:36,790
No, Luke! 

84
00:07:38,830 --> 00:07:40,420
How did you get into the box?

85
00:07:40,540 --> 00:07:43,040
You can't expect me to answer that. 

86
00:07:43,170 --> 00:07:46,300
Mr. Latimer, someone died here this evening. 

87
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:49,590
Where is he? Where's Gideon?! 

88
00:07:49,710 --> 00:07:51,560
Sir, please. 

89
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,800
This is Luke Altman, Sergeant. Hannah's husband. 

90
00:07:53,930 --> 00:07:55,980
I'm sorry for your loss.
Shall we go and talk somewhere? 

91
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:59,350
If anyone's dead because of his
stupid trick, it should be him! 

92
00:07:59,470 --> 00:08:01,850
The trick didn't go wrong. 

93
00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:03,950
The equipment was sabotaged. 

94
00:08:04,060 --> 00:08:05,860
This is murder. 

95
00:08:05,980 --> 00:08:08,950
Someone tried to kill me? 

96
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:18,540
A judgment from God. 

97
00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:22,420
On you... for polluting his house.

98
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,260
God works in mysterious ways, Andrew. 

99
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:36,980
But are you really suggesting
this tragedy is his doing? 

100
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,720
This village has a dark present... 

101
00:08:39,850 --> 00:08:41,520
and an even darker past. 

102
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,890
If the battle to bring it into the light 

103
00:08:44,020 --> 00:08:47,650
requires violence and suffering... 

104
00:08:47,770 --> 00:08:49,320
then so be it. 

105
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,860
I'm sorry. 

106
00:08:50,980 --> 00:08:52,990
But I can't carry on working with someone 

107
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:55,030
who worships such a petty, vindictive, 

108
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,080
unimaginative God such as yours. 

109
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,000
I'm sure there are parishes
crying out for your... 

110
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,340
rigorous brand of Christianity,

111
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:07,680
but it has no place in Midsomer Oaks. 

112
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:12,880
I'll speak to the bishop. 

113
00:09:13,010 --> 00:09:15,380
I think he'll be more interested
in what I've got to say. 

114
00:09:15,510 --> 00:09:18,100
Will he? Will he really? 

115
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,070
Trouble? 

116
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:28,660
No, no, no. 

117
00:09:28,770 --> 00:09:31,530
Bluster, that's all. 

118
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:36,280
If you're a newcomer to Midsomer Oaks, 

119
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,870
why do you think someone here
would want to kill you? 

120
00:09:38,990 --> 00:09:42,340
Gideon has hordes of fans, Sergeant Nelson, 

121
00:09:42,450 --> 00:09:44,960
but there are the haters, too. 

122
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,000
Some of them are quite poisonous. 

123
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,250
Obsessives, lunatics who claim
Gideon stole their tricks,

124
00:09:50,380 --> 00:09:52,130
religious fanatics... you name it. 

125
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:54,510
They post things online all the time. 

126
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:57,430
Anything specific since you came to the village? 

127
00:09:57,550 --> 00:09:59,800
Actually, there was a letter. 

128
00:09:59,930 --> 00:10:02,770
It said Melmoth Hall was cursed. 

129
00:10:02,890 --> 00:10:04,560
Threatened Gideon with hellfire and damnation 

130
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,400
if he didn't abandon it and move far away. 

131
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,320
You didn't tell me about that. 

132
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,240
Dealing with hate mail is my job. 

133
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,700
Do you still have the letter? 

134
00:10:12,820 --> 00:10:15,370
It went into the shredder,
like all the other rubbish. 

135
00:10:15,490 --> 00:10:17,830
The fact that you've been targeted

136
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:20,500
by someone who knows where
you live is cause for concern. 

137
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,990
Tell me everything you can
remember about that letter. 

138
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,460
Hannah was playing a solo at the concert tonight. 

139
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,840
Was that a big deal for her? 

140
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,840
- Was she nervous?
- A little, maybe. 

141
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:39,810
But she was used to playing in the pub. 

142
00:10:41,430 --> 00:10:44,230
I'm wondering why you didn't
come along to listen to her. 

143
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,740
One of us had to stay and look after the place. 

144
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,740
Will we find anyone prepared to verify 

145
00:10:55,860 --> 00:10:58,700
that you were behind the bar all evening?

146
00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:02,670
Magda was there. She helps us out sometimes. 

147
00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:06,000
I was down in the cellar for a bit. 

148
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,250
We had a problem with one of the barrels. 

149
00:11:08,370 --> 00:11:11,340
How long is "a bit"? 

150
00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:15,210
Uh, 5, maybe 10 minutes. 

151
00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:19,930
Hannah was quite young to be
a pub landlady, wasn't she? 

152
00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:26,520
She inherited The Green Man when her dad died. 

153
00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:34,110
I think she struggled at first, but... 

154
00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:36,400
she was determined to make it work. 

155
00:11:43,740 --> 00:11:46,660
Hannah was the one good thing
that's ever happened to me. 

156
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:56,970
I want to walk back. I need some air. 

157
00:11:57,090 --> 00:11:58,680
I'll come with you.

158
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,300
Someone needs to go in the car, 

159
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:02,180
since my mother has bothered to wait. 

160
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:04,470
I'd like some time alone with my wife, 

161
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:06,440
if that's okay with you, Theo? 

162
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:11,140
- She'll be cross now.
- No, she won't. 

163
00:12:11,270 --> 00:12:12,990
Not with you, with me. 

164
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:15,200
I'd never have allowed you to buy Melmoth Hall 

165
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:17,780
if I'd known she'd be moving in with us. 

166
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:19,370
What was wrong with her old house? 

167
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,030
It's not as if she'd have been that far away. 

168
00:12:21,150 --> 00:12:25,910
She was lonely. We're hardly short of space. 

169
00:12:26,030 --> 00:12:28,540
I know you owe her a lot, but she's everywhere.

170
00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:30,330
She's my mother. 

171
00:12:30,450 --> 00:12:32,170
What do you want me to do, throw her out? 

172
00:12:32,290 --> 00:12:34,920
And I'm your wife, but it takes a murder 

173
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,260
to get us 10 minutes alone together! 

174
00:12:37,380 --> 00:12:41,800
She's just feeling a little
redundant since Theo took over. 

175
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,680
Be kind, Annabel. 

176
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,680
It'll get easier. 

177
00:12:48,140 --> 00:12:50,860
You really think someone was trying to kill you? 

178
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:53,480
It's the most likely explanation, isn't it? 

179
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,570
Maybe we should go away
for a while, just in case. 

180
00:12:55,690 --> 00:12:57,110
Why? 

181
00:12:57,230 --> 00:12:59,650
Because if someone is trying to kill you... 

182
00:13:01,730 --> 00:13:05,360
It'll be okay, darling, I promise.

183
00:13:05,490 --> 00:13:07,620
There were many people in the village who, um, 

184
00:13:07,740 --> 00:13:13,500
strongly objected t-t-to...
To the presence of an enter... 

185
00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:16,840
Mr. Barnaby, how is Luke? 

186
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,840
As you might expect. 

187
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,460
Reverend Soane was just telling me 

188
00:13:22,590 --> 00:13:24,840
that Luke was supposed to be here tonight, 

189
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:27,590
singing with a local band, but he didn't turn up. 

190
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Yes, he must be feeling dreadful about that. 

191
00:13:32,390 --> 00:13:35,990
Were Luke and Hannah regular churchgoers? 

192
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:37,730
No. 

193
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:40,650
But they were very community spirited. 

194
00:13:40,770 --> 00:13:43,700
Hannah played the piano with us and so on.

195
00:13:43,820 --> 00:13:45,740
I understand you had some people walk out 

196
00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:47,830
during the concert as soon as Gideon appeared. 

197
00:13:47,950 --> 00:13:49,160
Yes. 

198
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,710
My curate, Andrew Maplin, 

199
00:13:52,830 --> 00:13:55,830
among others, and one of the churchwardens... 

200
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,750
Ailsa Probert. 

201
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,850
Andrew strongly disapproves of magic. 

202
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,060
He believes it encourages people
to meddle in the dark arts. 

203
00:14:09,430 --> 00:14:12,430
Where does he stand on turning water into wine? 

204
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,060
Please don't ask him, 

205
00:14:14,180 --> 00:14:17,860
unless you're in the mood for
a long and rancorous debate. 

206
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,240
The concert was in aid of
the church restoration fund? 

207
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,360
Yes.

208
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,740
We need vital building work done, 

209
00:14:28,860 --> 00:14:31,620
and the diocese won't give us a penny. 

210
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:35,170
And if we don't raise the money
in the next couple of weeks, 

211
00:14:35,290 --> 00:14:37,660
it will be the end for St. Cyprian's. 

212
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,970
So he's crouched down at the bottom, 

213
00:14:48,090 --> 00:14:50,970
there's a trick of light, the glass goes black, 

214
00:14:51,090 --> 00:14:52,560
the trapdoor opens, he pops up, 

215
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,480
and suddenly, there he is in the box. 

216
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,440
The modern equivalent of smoke and mirrors? 

217
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,980
- I'm heading back to the lab.
- Thanks, Kate. 

218
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:02,950
Nelson was just explaining
to me how Gideon's stunt works. 

219
00:15:03,060 --> 00:15:05,610
I had to threaten to arrest
them all before they'd tell me. 

220
00:15:05,730 --> 00:15:09,780
They probably guessed that
you had an ulterior motive. 

221
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:12,950
Nelson had one of those
magic sets when he was a kid. 

222
00:15:13,070 --> 00:15:15,420
I think he cherished hopes
of turning professional. 

223
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:18,160
The Magic Circle's loss is C.I.D.'s gain. 

224
00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:20,840
- I was pretty good, actually.
- We'll take your word for it. 

225
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,510
Good night, Kate. 

226
00:15:23,630 --> 00:15:26,220
They're taking the cabling back to the lab, 

227
00:15:26,340 --> 00:15:28,210
but preliminary tests for nitroglycerin

228
00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:29,760
have come up positive. 

229
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,930
And we've found fragments of what looks like 

230
00:15:32,050 --> 00:15:33,850
possible bomb casing. 

231
00:15:33,970 --> 00:15:35,890
No traces of a timing device, though. 

232
00:15:36,010 --> 00:15:38,440
That suggests it was activated by remote control. 

233
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,690
Which means our killer wasn't necessarily 

234
00:15:40,810 --> 00:15:42,650
in the church at the time. 

235
00:15:42,770 --> 00:15:45,740
Gideon and Annabel Latimer
and Theo Bainbridge still had, 

236
00:15:45,860 --> 00:15:47,530
by far, the best knowledge and opportunity, 

237
00:15:47,650 --> 00:15:49,740
but they say they'd never met
Hannah before tonight. 

238
00:15:49,860 --> 00:15:52,990
Do what you can to see if that's true. 

239
00:15:54,570 --> 00:15:56,290
If Gideon was the target,

240
00:15:56,410 --> 00:15:59,710
then Theo and Annabel are prime suspects. 

241
00:15:59,830 --> 00:16:01,210
But I can't help thinking that neither of them 

242
00:16:01,330 --> 00:16:02,920
would have made a mistake. 

243
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,590
If they'd meant to kill Gideon, he'd be dead. 

244
00:16:05,710 --> 00:16:10,560
But he's not, and Hannah Altman is. 

245
00:17:54,860 --> 00:17:57,490
Gideon? 

246
00:18:40,110 --> 00:18:46,710
♪ Joy of heaven to Earth come down ♪ 

247
00:18:46,830 --> 00:18:49,330
♪ Fix in us... ♪ 

248
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:51,130
That must be Andrew Maplin 

249
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:53,050
standing next to the vicar. 

250
00:18:53,170 --> 00:18:56,090
He's been busy posting
comments on Gideon's website. 

251
00:18:56,210 --> 00:18:58,760
Real fire-and-brimstone stuff. 

252
00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,810
We'll talk to him 

253
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:02,140
when he's finished singing about love and mercy.

254
00:19:02,260 --> 00:19:04,760
Let's go and find out why 

255
00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:07,520
Luke Altman lied about the concert. 

256
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:14,320
♪ Pure unbounded love thou art ♪ 

257
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,700
Only me. 

258
00:19:21,820 --> 00:19:23,870
I'll do that. 

259
00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:26,410
It's no bother. It's all Gideon's stuff. 

260
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:28,960
Carole, just leave it. 

261
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,000
Did Gideon sleep well? 

262
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,420
Yes. 

263
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,760
He's... not as robust as he appears. 

264
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,890
You need to look after him. 

265
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,020
“Be kind, Annabel. 

266
00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:51,820
It'll get easier.“ 

267
00:19:53,020 --> 00:19:55,270
Did your wife make a will? 

268
00:19:57,690 --> 00:19:59,440
Not that I know of, no. 

269
00:19:59,570 --> 00:20:01,620
So you'll inherit the pub? 

270
00:20:01,740 --> 00:20:02,950
A fat lot of good it'll do me.

271
00:20:03,070 --> 00:20:05,830
I mean, this place is mortgaged to the hilt. 

272
00:20:05,950 --> 00:20:07,580
Hannah did her best to make it work, 

273
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:10,330
but it's a... money pit. 

274
00:20:10,450 --> 00:20:14,930
Last night, you said you'd never
planned to attend the concert. 

275
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,470
Would you like to reconsider that statement? 

276
00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:19,510
Well... 

277
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,760
I was supposed to be there, yeah. 

278
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,010
There's a local band.
I sing with them sometimes. 

279
00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:29,520
What made you change your mind? 

280
00:20:33,850 --> 00:20:38,230
Hannah and me were having a few... problems. 

281
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:43,910
And yesterday afternoon, we had a bit of a row. 

282
00:20:44,030 --> 00:20:47,660
But it was nothing serious.

283
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:50,040
We'd have worked it out. 

284
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,080
Why didn't you tell me this last night? 

285
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,050
I would have done, but once
you said it was murder... 

286
00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:58,670
What was the argument about? 

287
00:20:58,790 --> 00:21:04,100
It was... nothing to do with any of this. 

288
00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:06,180
But something must have
triggered the row yesterday, 

289
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:07,720
something specific. 

290
00:21:11,220 --> 00:21:13,270
What was it, Luke? 

291
00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:15,730
She had a fling. 

292
00:21:15,850 --> 00:21:17,530
Who with? 

293
00:21:17,650 --> 00:21:20,620
A guy called Rhodri Probert. 

294
00:21:20,730 --> 00:21:23,360
His wife used to be Hannah's friend. 

295
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,830
You were angry with her, presumably? 

296
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:29,120
Of course I was, yeah.

297
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,210
But that doesn't mean I killed her. 

298
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:41,420
Are you here about Hannah? 

299
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:43,970
Detective Sergeant Nelson, Causton C.I.D. 

300
00:21:44,090 --> 00:21:46,140
This is D.C.I. Barnaby. 

301
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:48,730
- You are?
- Ailsa Probert. 

302
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,390
I understand you joined the walkout last night? 

303
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,730
Yes. Fakery has no place in God's house. 

304
00:21:54,850 --> 00:21:58,020
But I wanted to go back
and speak to Hannah afterwards, 

305
00:21:58,150 --> 00:22:00,440
make sure she knew that it wasn't aimed at her. 

306
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,820
You were friends? 

307
00:22:01,940 --> 00:22:04,290
We hadn't seen much of each other lately 

308
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,400
because I'm busy with
the children and the church.

309
00:22:06,530 --> 00:22:08,330
We'd like a word with your husband, actually. 

310
00:22:08,450 --> 00:22:09,320
Is he with you? 

311
00:22:09,450 --> 00:22:12,870
He's at work, the florist, On the Green. 

312
00:22:12,990 --> 00:22:14,790
Why do you need to speak to him? 

313
00:22:14,910 --> 00:22:16,660
We told your officers everything last night. 

314
00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:19,460
Just routine. 

315
00:22:19,580 --> 00:22:21,880
Thank you, Mrs. Probert. 

316
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,430
Harry, Flora, come on. 

317
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:28,810
The search team's at the pub now. 

318
00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:30,770
Shall I go back over? 

319
00:22:30,890 --> 00:22:34,610
After we've talked to the curate. 

320
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,190
Andrew, we should talk
before you do anything rash. 

321
00:22:39,310 --> 00:22:42,410
I'm afraid I have nothing left
to say to you, Lorna.

322
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,700
But I have plenty to tell Magnus. 

323
00:22:44,820 --> 00:22:49,540
I'm sure you do. He is your vicar, after all. 

324
00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:52,120
For a little while longer. 

325
00:22:56,370 --> 00:23:01,130
Andrew Maplin? Might we have a word, please? 

326
00:23:01,250 --> 00:23:04,500
I object to the use of so-called magic anywhere, 

327
00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:06,850
and in a church, it's an abomination. 

328
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,840
Gideon's an illusionist. It's not real magic. 

329
00:23:09,970 --> 00:23:12,190
You and I know that, Sergeant,
but there are plenty 

330
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:15,150
of gullible people out there who think otherwise. 

331
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:19,140
Even the pretence of sorcery
is dangerous, as well as wrong.

332
00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:21,110
If you think that, why not simply boycott 

333
00:23:21,230 --> 00:23:23,450
the performance altogether
instead of walking out? 

334
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,610
That would have been cowardly. 

335
00:23:25,730 --> 00:23:29,240
And less dramatic. 

336
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,990
And you're rather fond of drama, aren't you? 

337
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:33,910
I'm thinking of the message 

338
00:23:34,030 --> 00:23:36,160
you posted on Gideon Latimer's website 

339
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:38,960
accusing him of being the son of the devil. 

340
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,580
I was quoting the Bible, Inspector. 

341
00:23:41,710 --> 00:23:44,960
Was it you who wrote the letter
threatening Gideon 

342
00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:47,760
with hellfire if he remained at Melmoth Hall? 

343
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,980
I'm not sure those were my
precise words, but I urged him 

344
00:23:51,090 --> 00:23:53,810
to leave that house of sin and darkness, yes. 

345
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,770
You feel very strongly about this, don't you? 

346
00:23:57,890 --> 00:23:59,310
Indeed. 

347
00:23:59,430 --> 00:24:03,440
Strongly enough to attempt
to bring Gideon down in public? 

348
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,490
What are you suggesting? 

349
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:08,330
That someone made sure the stunt went wrong, 

350
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,240
possibly intending to humiliate or harm Gideon. 

351
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:16,370
But not necessarily intending to kill anyone. 

352
00:24:16,490 --> 00:24:18,670
That's an outrageous accusation! 

353
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:21,260
Even though, “A man that is a wizard 

354
00:24:21,370 --> 00:24:23,550
shall surely be put to death"?

355
00:24:23,670 --> 00:24:26,290
I was referring to spiritual death. 

356
00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:28,300
Evil didn't arrive in Midsomer Oaks 

357
00:24:28,420 --> 00:24:30,300
with Gideon Latimer, Inspector. 

358
00:24:30,420 --> 00:24:35,100
He made himself heir
to a very old and dark legacy. 

359
00:24:35,220 --> 00:24:40,600
It's my job to root it out,
and that's what I intend to do. 

360
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,270
An affair with Hannah? 

361
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,020
Where did you get that idea? 

362
00:24:47,150 --> 00:24:48,690
From her husband. 

363
00:24:51,780 --> 00:24:55,780
Look, Luke's always been a bit paranoid. 

364
00:24:55,910 --> 00:25:00,880
I heard him and Hannah were having a rough patch. 

365
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,870
But there was nothing between us. 

366
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,220
Are you sure about that, Mr. Probert?

367
00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:08,010
This is a murder investigation. 

368
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:13,640
Look... it was a one-off thing. 

369
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,890
You know how it is. 

370
00:25:16,010 --> 00:25:17,350
A one-off? 

371
00:25:17,470 --> 00:25:20,060
Okay, a few times, then. 

372
00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:21,730
And this was when? 

373
00:25:21,850 --> 00:25:24,480
A couple of months ago. It was a bit of fun. 

374
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,110
Like I said, Luke and Hannah
were having difficulties, 

375
00:25:28,230 --> 00:25:30,820
and Ailsa had just found God. 

376
00:25:30,940 --> 00:25:32,490
Seemed to prefer him to me. 

377
00:25:32,610 --> 00:25:36,410
Whose decision was it to end the relationship? 

378
00:25:36,530 --> 00:25:39,580
It was mutual. No hard feelings. 

379
00:25:40,910 --> 00:25:43,830
I assume your wife knows nothing
about any of this? 

380
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,970
No. 

381
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,550
You won't tell her, will you?

382
00:25:49,670 --> 00:25:51,640
And he left the parish when? 

383
00:25:54,050 --> 00:25:57,020
Okay, thank you. 

384
00:25:57,130 --> 00:26:00,060
Sir? 

385
00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:09,690
Um, would you... 

386
00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:12,190
No, thank you. 

387
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:16,370
What did you say about me to that detective? 

388
00:26:16,490 --> 00:26:18,080
Nothing but the truth. 

389
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,540
That you strongly objected 

390
00:26:20,660 --> 00:26:23,000
to Gideon's participation in the concert. 

391
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:26,370
Before you try to cast blame on others, 

392
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:28,670
perhaps you should look closer to home. 

393
00:26:31,790 --> 00:26:33,590
What on earth are you talking about? 

394
00:26:33,710 --> 00:26:37,390
I've suspected for a long time. 

395
00:26:37,510 --> 00:26:40,310
And now I have proof. 

396
00:26:45,180 --> 00:26:47,150
You said business was struggling. 

397
00:26:47,270 --> 00:26:48,770
That's what Hannah told me.

398
00:26:48,890 --> 00:26:50,990
So where did this come from? 

399
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,030
I don't know. 

400
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720
Thank you. 

401
00:27:19,340 --> 00:27:20,930
Hi, sweetheart. 

402
00:27:22,510 --> 00:27:24,510
Everything all right? 

403
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,110
- Where's the kids?
- Playing next door. 

404
00:27:29,390 --> 00:27:30,900
What did the police ask you? 

405
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:33,070
They wanted to know if we supplied flowers 

406
00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:35,160
for the church last night. 

407
00:27:35,270 --> 00:27:37,530
Nothing about Hannah? 

408
00:27:38,690 --> 00:27:41,570
How well I knew her, that kind of thing. 

409
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:44,670
And did you tell them? 

410
00:27:46,910 --> 00:27:48,910
£20,000. 

411
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,460
Luke claimed he had no idea where it came from. 

412
00:27:51,580 --> 00:27:53,550
He was right about one thing, though. 

413
00:27:53,670 --> 00:27:55,970
The pub is in dire straits.

414
00:27:56,090 --> 00:27:57,800
The mortgage is massively in arrears, 

415
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,720
and the bank is threatening to repossess. 

416
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,390
Find out if there are any rumors 

417
00:28:01,510 --> 00:28:03,390
of dodgy dealings at The Green Man. 

418
00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:05,180
Drugs, you mean? 

419
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:07,480
Or stolen goods. 

420
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,020
One other thing. We found Hannah's passport, 

421
00:28:10,140 --> 00:28:11,820
but Luke said he doesn't have one. 

422
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:13,650
I've just checked, and he never has. 

423
00:28:13,770 --> 00:28:16,150
Could be he just never fancied going abroad. 

424
00:28:16,270 --> 00:28:19,320
On the other hand, you should
do a full identity check. 

425
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,820
I've already set the ball rolling. 

426
00:28:20,940 --> 00:28:22,540
Good. 

427
00:28:22,650 --> 00:28:24,450
Rhodri Probert

428
00:28:24,570 --> 00:28:26,950
says that his relationship
with Hannah was long over, 

429
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,750
but we only have his word for that. 

430
00:28:28,870 --> 00:28:32,000
Nor can we be sure that his wife
didn't know about it. 

431
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,340
Anything else? 

432
00:28:34,460 --> 00:28:39,130
Andrew Maplin has worked in four
parishes in the last five years. 

433
00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:40,630
Seems like a lot. 

434
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,380
I can't say I'm surprised. 

435
00:28:42,510 --> 00:28:45,060
But he's not mad, and he's not stupid. 

436
00:28:45,180 --> 00:28:47,150
When he says there's an ancient evil 

437
00:28:47,260 --> 00:28:50,810
at work in Midsomer Oaks,
he means something specific. 

438
00:28:50,930 --> 00:28:53,110
But what? 

439
00:28:55,650 --> 00:28:58,320
I asked you to think of something... 

440
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,030
something...

441
00:29:05,070 --> 00:29:07,500
It's perfectly simple... 

442
00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:09,490
I asked you to think of something... 

443
00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:12,210
Gideon? 

444
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,420
The curate's on the front lawn, praying. 

445
00:29:15,540 --> 00:29:19,170
He seems to be performing some sort of exorcism. 

446
00:29:22,130 --> 00:29:25,050
Don't worry. I'll come and sort him out. 

447
00:29:28,510 --> 00:29:30,980
Drive the spirits of evil out of
this house of shadow and pain... 

448
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:34,600
You're on private property. You need to leave. 

449
00:29:34,730 --> 00:29:36,440
I'm calling the police. 

450
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,690
Give me the strength to carry
out your work here today. 

451
00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:43,950
- Grant us the strength...
- Reverend Maplin, isn't it?

452
00:29:44,070 --> 00:29:47,700
How kind of you to call.
Has anyone offered you tea? 

453
00:29:47,820 --> 00:29:52,200
Surely, even you must realize
the time for mockery is past? 

454
00:29:52,330 --> 00:29:55,210
You didn't heed my warnings,
and now a woman is dead. 

455
00:29:55,330 --> 00:29:56,460
What a wicked thing to say! 

456
00:29:56,580 --> 00:29:58,330
I'm just being honest, Mrs. Latimer. 

457
00:29:58,460 --> 00:30:01,510
Others may stand by and watch
while your son pollutes 

458
00:30:01,630 --> 00:30:05,680
this village by invoking
its foul past, but I will not. 

459
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,600
May I ask how you propose to stop me? 

460
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,810
By exposing your purpose
in coming to Midsomer Oaks

461
00:30:11,930 --> 00:30:14,930
and showing the world what you really are. 

462
00:30:15,060 --> 00:30:17,810
All of you. 

463
00:30:17,940 --> 00:30:21,030
“Murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, 

464
00:30:21,150 --> 00:30:23,450
idolaters, and all liars 

465
00:30:23,570 --> 00:30:25,990
shall have their lot in the lake... 

466
00:30:26,110 --> 00:30:29,830
which burns with fire and sulfur... 

467
00:30:29,950 --> 00:30:32,450
which is the second death.“ 

468
00:30:32,580 --> 00:30:35,500
You're insane. 

469
00:30:54,890 --> 00:30:56,890
Go in peace. 

470
00:30:57,020 --> 00:31:01,400
You may have turned your back
on God, Gideon Latimer... 

471
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,900
but you will not escape the fury of his wrath. 

472
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:19,340
It's okay. 

473
00:31:19,460 --> 00:31:22,050
Come on. Come on. 

474
00:31:24,130 --> 00:31:26,510
I'm not too sure what your problem is. 

475
00:31:26,630 --> 00:31:29,630
Go on. Go. 

476
00:31:31,550 --> 00:31:33,680
Silence, child!

477
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,180
It's your father who's to blame. 

478
00:31:37,310 --> 00:31:39,650
So, how did you get on? 

479
00:31:39,770 --> 00:31:43,320
Betty finished her bottle,
and Sykes enjoyed his bone. 

480
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,660
Or was it the other way 'round? 

481
00:31:45,770 --> 00:31:47,780
- How was your evening?
- Splendid. 

482
00:31:47,900 --> 00:31:50,030
Three hours of drink and debauchery. 

483
00:31:50,150 --> 00:31:53,120
I'd expect nothing less
from the quarterly meeting 

484
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,830
of the Midsomer Historical Society. 

485
00:31:54,950 --> 00:31:56,450
It was very interesting, actually. 

486
00:31:56,580 --> 00:31:57,870
A local historian gave a talk. 

487
00:31:57,990 --> 00:31:59,710
Fascinating. 

488
00:31:59,830 --> 00:32:01,460
Don't mock. 

489
00:32:01,580 --> 00:32:03,250
Some of the grislier episodes in the past

490
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:05,340
make your schlocky, old horror movies look tame! 

491
00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:07,460
Don't say any more. 

492
00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:10,220
Sykes has already spent half
the evening behind the sofa. 

493
00:32:10,340 --> 00:32:12,890
Aw. That's not 'cause
you're scared, is it, Sykesie? 

494
00:32:13,010 --> 00:32:14,850
He just prefers rom-coms. 

495
00:33:17,950 --> 00:33:20,580
I'm here. 

496
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:23,330
Where are you? 

497
00:34:11,420 --> 00:34:14,170
- Here.
- Oh, thanks. 

498
00:34:14,300 --> 00:34:16,520
- Yeah.
- Do you want to see a trick? 

499
00:34:16,630 --> 00:34:19,430
Is it too much to ask to just
have my coffee in peace? 

500
00:34:19,550 --> 00:34:20,730
No, no, no. Come on, watch. 

501
00:34:20,850 --> 00:34:24,570
I'm gonna make a coin
pass through a pack of cards 

502
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,440
and drop into that glass.

503
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,660
Behold, a shiny coin. 

504
00:34:29,770 --> 00:34:33,530
Watch it pass through a solid pack of cards. 

505
00:34:33,650 --> 00:34:37,580
One, two, three. 

506
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:43,330
There are two coins. One is in your hand, 

507
00:34:43,450 --> 00:34:45,200
the other was concealed under the deck of cards 

508
00:34:45,330 --> 00:34:46,800
from the start. 

509
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,590
Spoilsport. 

510
00:34:53,710 --> 00:34:55,560
Sir? 

511
00:35:07,980 --> 00:35:11,450
Andrew Maplin, curate of this parish. 

512
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,490
He was wearing this when he was found. 

513
00:35:13,610 --> 00:35:15,030
It's made out of oak leaves. 

514
00:35:15,150 --> 00:35:16,870
Looks a bit like a ceremonial mask. 

515
00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:20,990
Perhaps some kind of sacrifice? 

516
00:35:22,570 --> 00:35:23,790
Ashes are cold. 

517
00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:26,540
So that fire wasn't lit last night.

518
00:35:26,660 --> 00:35:31,290
It looks as if he fell over here... 

519
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:34,590
and was dragged to the big stone in the middle. 

520
00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:37,720
There was a clunky, old mobile phone found here. 

521
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,470
It's being dusted for prints
now, then you can take a look. 

522
00:35:40,590 --> 00:35:42,440
Chances are, it was the victim's. 

523
00:35:42,550 --> 00:35:43,720
Because we wouldn't be lucky enough 

524
00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:45,810
to find the murderer's phone at the scene? 

525
00:35:45,930 --> 00:35:47,810
- Exactly.
- All this swaddling 

526
00:35:47,930 --> 00:35:50,780
is gonna to make it tricky
to pin down time of death. 

527
00:35:50,890 --> 00:35:53,270
I'd like to take him back to
the table as soon as possible.

528
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,280
Fine. It'd be good to know
what we're dealing with here. 

529
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,070
Nelson, come and look at this. 

530
00:36:00,110 --> 00:36:02,660
Let's get him back to the lab. 

531
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:11,500
"Sir Hugo Melmoth. 

532
00:36:11,620 --> 00:36:15,470
Born 23rd of January, 1758. 

533
00:36:15,590 --> 00:36:18,810
Died June 23, 1802. 

534
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,640
E Flammis Vito." 

535
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,010
"Vita" is life, isn't it? In Italian, anyway. 

536
00:36:25,140 --> 00:36:27,140
“Out of the flames comes life.“ 

537
00:36:27,260 --> 00:36:32,440
And yet this place feels full of death. 

538
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,070
Do you always follow the same route when you run? 

539
00:36:38,190 --> 00:36:41,790
No, but I've been that way a few times. 

540
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,280
Had you ever met Andrew Maplin?

541
00:36:45,780 --> 00:36:49,040
He came here yesterday evening. 

542
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,460
- What did he want?
- An audience he could rant at. 

543
00:37:02,510 --> 00:37:04,310
After Andrew Maplin left, 

544
00:37:04,430 --> 00:37:07,050
what did you do for the rest of the evening? 

545
00:37:07,180 --> 00:37:11,600
We had supper, cleared up. Nothing special. 

546
00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:14,230
You were all here the whole evening, 

547
00:37:14,350 --> 00:37:16,900
the two of you, Mr. Latimer's
mother, Mr. Bainbridge? 

548
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:18,400
Yes. 

549
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,120
We all went to bed quite early. 

550
00:37:21,230 --> 00:37:24,490
We were a bit shaken by that
scene on the lawn, to be honest. 

551
00:37:24,610 --> 00:37:26,830
The mask on the body. 

552
00:37:26,950 --> 00:37:28,830
Had you ever seen anything like that before? 

553
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:30,290
No.

554
00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:31,630
Mr. Latimer? 

555
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:34,000
I didn't see it, obviously, 

556
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,880
but, no, Annabel's description
didn't ring any bells. 

557
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,880
You didn't go and look
after your wife came back here? 

558
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,100
Of course not. 

559
00:37:42,210 --> 00:37:44,060
Annabel needed me. 

560
00:37:44,170 --> 00:37:45,770
What's happening? 

561
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,390
The track to the temple's lined with police cars. 

562
00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:50,930
The curate's dead. 

563
00:37:51,060 --> 00:37:53,520
The one who came to the house last night. 

564
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,770
Murdered? 

565
00:37:54,890 --> 00:37:58,610
Your daughter-in-law found his body. 

566
00:37:58,730 --> 00:38:00,610
On the altar stone. 

567
00:38:00,730 --> 00:38:03,240
Oh, no! You poor girl! 

568
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,000
Tell me about the site.
You called it "the temple"?

569
00:38:08,110 --> 00:38:11,490
The pagan temple.
That's what the locals call it. 

570
00:38:11,620 --> 00:38:15,090
There are all sorts of stories
about what used to go on there. 

571
00:38:15,210 --> 00:38:17,830
I saw Sir Hugo Melmoth's gravestone. 

572
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,260
I take it Melmoth Hall once belonged to him? 

573
00:38:20,380 --> 00:38:22,850
Yes, he was the last of the family, I believe. 

574
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,090
Darling, this doesn't mean 

575
00:38:25,220 --> 00:38:27,470
we're going to have to cancel tonight, does it? 

576
00:38:27,590 --> 00:38:29,560
- Why should it?
- Tonight? 

577
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,230
Another fundraiser for St. Cyprian's. 

578
00:38:32,350 --> 00:38:34,270
No big stunts, promise. 

579
00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:36,140
Just a few card tricks

580
00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:38,320
and a bit of mind reading in the drawing room. 

581
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,190
People have paid a fortune
for the chance to meet Gideon. 

582
00:38:41,310 --> 00:38:42,660
We can't let them down. 

583
00:38:42,770 --> 00:38:45,620
As long as no one goes near the temple. 

584
00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:47,700
I'll send along a couple of uniform officers 

585
00:38:47,820 --> 00:38:49,950
to keep an eye on things here. 

586
00:38:50,070 --> 00:38:52,080
There's really no need. 

587
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,370
It's for your own safety, Mr. Latimer. 

588
00:38:54,490 --> 00:38:56,170
Thank you, Mr. Barnaby. 

589
00:39:02,170 --> 00:39:03,920
It's good of you to do so much for the church, 

590
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:06,420
given that you're new to Midsomer Oaks. 

591
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:10,350
I grew up not far from here... Midsomer Mere.

592
00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:13,850
My mother's keen for us to
get involved in the community. 

593
00:39:13,970 --> 00:39:16,150
And Lorna Soane can be very persuasive. 

594
00:39:19,060 --> 00:39:20,980
I wonder, are there any books 

595
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:23,360
about the temple in the library here? 

596
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,700
There isn't a library. 

597
00:39:24,820 --> 00:39:26,110
The last owner sold off the books 

598
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:29,110
and converted the room into a home cinema. 

599
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:32,910
Luckily, I'm not really interested in the past. 

600
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,790
I've been looking for information on this place. 

601
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,170
There's the usual stuff about architecture. 

602
00:39:44,290 --> 00:39:46,470
Any mention of a pagan temple? 

603
00:39:46,590 --> 00:39:48,010
Not so far.

604
00:39:48,130 --> 00:39:50,630
Andrew Maplin visited here last night, 

605
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,680
to warn Gideon Latimer to mend his evil ways. 

606
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,730
He left around 8:30, allegedly. 

607
00:39:55,850 --> 00:40:00,440
He received a call at 9:23, made
from an unidentified mobile. 

608
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,530
We're trying to trace it, 

609
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,570
but I'm pretty sure it'll
turn out to be a prepaid job. 

610
00:40:03,690 --> 00:40:05,320
Anything else of interest? 

611
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,280
Andrew called the bishop 

612
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,450
at 2:00 yesterday to ask for a meeting. 

613
00:40:09,570 --> 00:40:11,160
He insisted it had to be today, 

614
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,500
but he wouldn't say what it was about. 

615
00:40:14,780 --> 00:40:18,540
Get a couple of P.C.s up here tonight, will you?

616
00:40:28,050 --> 00:40:30,300
No one could accuse Andrew Maplin 

617
00:40:30,420 --> 00:40:31,770
of living in luxury. 

618
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:36,610
Andrew was no hypocrite, whatever his faults. 

619
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:37,970
There. 

620
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:41,150
Did you know he was seeing
the bishop this morning? 

621
00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:44,070
No. But he told me yesterday 

622
00:40:44,190 --> 00:40:47,530
he was going to demand a meeting
as a matter of urgency. 

623
00:40:47,650 --> 00:40:49,120
What about? 

624
00:40:49,230 --> 00:40:53,960
My many deficiencies, personal and professional. 

625
00:40:54,070 --> 00:40:57,790
Most of them alcohol-related. 

626
00:40:57,910 --> 00:41:00,460
You know where his body was found? 

627
00:41:00,580 --> 00:41:03,710
Yes. Everyone in the village
knew by 8:00 this morning. 

628
00:41:03,830 --> 00:41:05,630
No one at Melmoth Hall could
tell me much about the site, 

629
00:41:05,750 --> 00:41:08,880
except that it was called "the pagan temple." 

630
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,600
It was built in the 18th century
by Sir Hugo Melmoth, 

631
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:15,140
though Midsomer Oaks is believed to have been 

632
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:17,390
a center for pre-Christian worship. 

633
00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:19,560
Sir Hugo was very interested 

634
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,610
in what he called “the old ways." 

635
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:26,230
Pagan rituals, you mean?
Did they still exist in his day? 

636
00:41:26,350 --> 00:41:28,820
If they didn't, he probably invented them. 

637
00:41:28,940 --> 00:41:32,370
Are there pagans active in Midsomer Oaks now? 

638
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:36,780
I understand they still mark
the seasonal festivals

639
00:41:36,910 --> 00:41:39,030
in a purely symbolic way. 

640
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,790
Do you participate? 

641
00:41:40,910 --> 00:41:42,540
No, but I don't object. 

642
00:41:42,660 --> 00:41:45,010
- Your curate did, though.
- Yes. 

643
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,220
And what about the bishop? 

644
00:41:46,330 --> 00:41:47,800
If it were brought to his attention, 

645
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,720
I'm sure he'd feel obliged to take a dim view. 

646
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,680
Would you mind telling me
where you were last night, 

647
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,890
say, from 8:30 to 7:00 this morning? 

648
00:41:56,010 --> 00:41:58,180
At home. 

649
00:41:58,300 --> 00:42:00,270
With my wife. 

650
00:42:01,390 --> 00:42:02,520
Thank you. 

651
00:42:07,150 --> 00:42:09,320
Slim pickings from the laptop. 

652
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,190
Records of parish council meetings, 

653
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,870
a draft thesis on St. Jerome. 

654
00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:17,460
Not much Internet activity,

655
00:42:17,570 --> 00:42:19,540
except recently, on Gideon's site. 

656
00:42:19,660 --> 00:42:21,960
And no photographs or film, 

657
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,450
which is odd, because I found this. 

658
00:42:24,580 --> 00:42:26,880
It's quite new, but it looks
like it's been in the wars. 

659
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,340
I can't turn it on. 

660
00:42:28,460 --> 00:42:30,340
Can you salvage the memory card? 

661
00:42:30,460 --> 00:42:32,210
Yeah, probably. 

662
00:42:36,010 --> 00:42:39,010
Kate wants us back. 

663
00:42:39,140 --> 00:42:41,060
Bring the camera with you. 

664
00:42:44,220 --> 00:42:45,570
Are you busy? 

665
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,900
Yes, of course I am. Why? 

666
00:42:48,020 --> 00:42:49,520
Nelson's done his best, 

667
00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:52,240
but I think I need a historian's input. 

668
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:53,860
I'm interested in late-18th-century 

669
00:42:53,980 --> 00:42:56,200
paganism in Midsomer Oaks.

670
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,910
Okay, I wasn't expecting that.
Am I allowed to know why? 

671
00:43:05,830 --> 00:43:07,330
You okay? 

672
00:43:07,460 --> 00:43:10,210
Kind of. 

673
00:43:10,330 --> 00:43:12,550
Don't worry. 

674
00:43:15,170 --> 00:43:19,300
You were supposed to come with me this morning. 

675
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,180
I overslept. 

676
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:26,690
Gideon's not gonna carry on 

677
00:43:26,810 --> 00:43:28,690
with this stupid pagan stuff now, is he? 

678
00:43:28,810 --> 00:43:32,940
He's obsessed with it,
thinks it's gonna help the act. 

679
00:43:34,570 --> 00:43:38,160
A little thing like murder's
not gonna stand in his way. 

680
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,910
I just keep seeing the body lying there. 

681
00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:44,580
Oh, come here. Come here. 

682
00:43:47,330 --> 00:43:51,170
It'll be okay. It'll be okay.

683
00:44:06,850 --> 00:44:10,020
He was already dead when he was wrapped up. 

684
00:44:10,140 --> 00:44:11,360
The knife entered the heart 

685
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,150
and penetrated the right ventricle. 

686
00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:15,020
So whoever shrouded him afterwards 

687
00:44:15,150 --> 00:44:16,320
had to work around the knife? 

688
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,440
No, that's the interesting thing. 

689
00:44:18,570 --> 00:44:20,450
There are two wounds, 

690
00:44:20,570 --> 00:44:23,240
almost certainly made by the same weapon, 

691
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:28,420
the first before he was swaddled
and the second after. 

692
00:44:28,540 --> 00:44:30,500
It must have been obvious that he was dead, 

693
00:44:30,620 --> 00:44:32,170
so the second one was for show. 

694
00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:35,290
Could we borrow your computer
for a few minutes, Kate? 

695
00:44:35,420 --> 00:44:36,890
Certainly.

696
00:44:42,630 --> 00:44:45,430
Nelson worked his magic on a broken camcorder 

697
00:44:45,550 --> 00:44:46,930
while we were driving here. 

698
00:44:47,050 --> 00:44:49,270
He prised it open with a penknife. 

699
00:44:49,390 --> 00:44:51,810
That's as close as Charlie
gets to sleight of hand. 

700
00:44:51,930 --> 00:44:54,280
- You can mock.
- Oh, we will. 

701
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,370
In the meantime... 

702
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,230
look at this. 

703
00:45:13,330 --> 00:45:15,500
Did he film his own murder? 

704
00:45:15,630 --> 00:45:17,630
No, look at the date. 

705
00:45:17,750 --> 00:45:19,680
This footage was shot 

706
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,050
when Andrew Maplin was still very much alive. 

707
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,400
Hey! Hey! 

708
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,110
What the hell do you think you're doing?! 

709
00:45:39,690 --> 00:45:41,190
Hey! 

710
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:42,690
What the hell do you think you're doing?! 

711
00:45:42,820 --> 00:45:44,570
Luke Altman.

712
00:45:49,450 --> 00:45:51,920
It wasn't an attack. 

713
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,080
I didn't touch the man. 

714
00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:56,750
I grabbed his camera and threw it on the ground. 

715
00:45:56,870 --> 00:45:58,250
Why? 

716
00:45:58,380 --> 00:46:01,430
He was spying on something... sacred. 

717
00:46:01,550 --> 00:46:03,510
Pagan rituals? 

718
00:46:03,630 --> 00:46:06,810
We just celebrate the natural world, 

719
00:46:06,930 --> 00:46:09,650
the sun and the seasons. 

720
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,690
And yesterday morning, we were welcoming in 

721
00:46:11,810 --> 00:46:13,680
the summer solstice. 

722
00:46:13,810 --> 00:46:15,480
That all sounds very innocent. 

723
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,860
And not at all like what Andrew Maplin filmed... 

724
00:46:18,980 --> 00:46:21,820
The knife, the fire, the body on the altar stone. 

725
00:46:21,940 --> 00:46:24,320
That wasn't a body, it was a straw man.

726
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:28,910
He symbolizes winter, and we... 

727
00:46:29,030 --> 00:46:32,710
kill him every year to mark the return of summer. 

728
00:46:32,830 --> 00:46:36,800
It is no sillier than what happens in church. 

729
00:46:36,910 --> 00:46:39,340
Who's the person wearing the crown, your leader? 

730
00:46:39,460 --> 00:46:43,180
The high priest of Sulis. 

731
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,390
Sulis? 

732
00:46:46,510 --> 00:46:49,480
A Celtic sun goddess, apparently. 

733
00:46:49,590 --> 00:46:52,220
And who is the high priest? 

734
00:46:53,890 --> 00:46:56,940
The inner circle holds a secret vote. 

735
00:46:57,060 --> 00:46:59,110
I am not part of the inner circle. 

736
00:46:59,230 --> 00:47:01,280
As far as I'm concerned, paganism's not about 

737
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:06,070
worshiping gods and having
priests and hierarchies.

738
00:47:06,190 --> 00:47:10,070
A man known for his hard-line Christian beliefs 

739
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,420
was murdered at your pagan temple 

740
00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:17,290
in a way which mimics
the very ceremony he filmed. 

741
00:47:17,410 --> 00:47:20,040
And you think one of us did it? 

742
00:47:20,170 --> 00:47:22,760
That would be very clever, but, um... 

743
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,220
but you can buy these masks off the Internet. 

744
00:47:25,340 --> 00:47:26,210
That's where I got mine. 

745
00:47:26,340 --> 00:47:28,720
Anybody could have killed Andrew 

746
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,100
and tried to put the blame on us. 

747
00:47:51,410 --> 00:47:53,370
No, no. Not there. 

748
00:47:53,490 --> 00:47:55,040
Over there, please. 

749
00:47:58,910 --> 00:48:01,840
So, as the guests arrive, 

750
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,010
Annabel, Carole, and I will circulate. 

751
00:48:04,130 --> 00:48:06,130
You make your entrance,
you work this side of the room, 

752
00:48:06,250 --> 00:48:08,180
you know, a few one-on-one tricks, 

753
00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:10,600
before you make your way to the center. 

754
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:12,260
Theo, this is my show. 

755
00:48:12,390 --> 00:48:14,060
I'll take the creative decisions. 

756
00:48:14,180 --> 00:48:15,680
You just do the job I pay you for. 

757
00:48:15,810 --> 00:48:18,480
You don't pay me to lie to the police. 

758
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,520
I pay you for your loyalty, which is a word 

759
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,020
- that you don't seem to...
- It's only me. 

760
00:48:22,140 --> 00:48:24,020
The door was opened. 

761
00:48:24,980 --> 00:48:27,570
Just came to see how poor Annabel was feeling 

762
00:48:27,690 --> 00:48:29,110
after her dreadful shock. 

763
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:30,740
I'm fine, thank you, Mrs. Soane. 

764
00:48:30,860 --> 00:48:32,240
Oh, well...

765
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,830
I see everything is in train for tonight. 

766
00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:37,290
Jolly good. 

767
00:48:37,410 --> 00:48:39,290
So, tell me what you have planned. 

768
00:48:39,410 --> 00:48:41,260
And give away our secrets? 

769
00:48:41,370 --> 00:48:43,220
You can trust me. You know that. 

770
00:48:43,330 --> 00:48:44,170
Can we? 

771
00:48:44,290 --> 00:48:46,920
Of course we trust you, Mrs. Soane. 

772
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,890
But we don't share the tricks
of our trade with anyone. 

773
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,380
Tricks? 

774
00:48:52,510 --> 00:48:56,310
I'm disappointed, Gideon.
I thought your magic was real. 

775
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,100
I'm not sure about tomorrow night, not after... 

776
00:49:01,230 --> 00:49:02,320
We must. 

777
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,860
Lorna, the place is crawling with police. 

778
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:07,480
You're playing with fire. 

779
00:49:07,610 --> 00:49:10,160
That's the idea, isn't it?

780
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:17,790
Mrs. Soane? 

781
00:49:19,330 --> 00:49:21,620
Please leave Gideon alone.
We'll go through with tonight. 

782
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:23,710
But don't ask him to do any more. 

783
00:49:23,830 --> 00:49:25,210
It's too dangerous. 

784
00:49:25,330 --> 00:49:27,710
He's not doing any of this for me. 

785
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,210
He's doing it for St. Cyprian's. 

786
00:49:29,340 --> 00:49:32,060
Gideon couldn't give a toss for St. Cyprian's. 

787
00:49:32,170 --> 00:49:34,050
And I don't believe you do, either. 

788
00:49:35,180 --> 00:49:37,180
You had a nasty shock this morning. 

789
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,270
Why don't you go and lie down? 

790
00:49:45,060 --> 00:49:46,650
Aren't you done yet? 

791
00:49:46,770 --> 00:49:48,270
Nearly, Mrs. Latimer. 

792
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,240
I've forwarded the footage to the tech department 

793
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:58,240
and asked them to blow up

794
00:49:58,370 --> 00:50:00,330
as many shots of individuals as they can. 

795
00:50:00,450 --> 00:50:03,830
The leaves on Luke's mask were made of leather. 

796
00:50:03,950 --> 00:50:05,830
The ones on Andrew's were real. 

797
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,840
There was another difference,
too, did you notice? 

798
00:50:10,130 --> 00:50:12,220
Andrew's mask didn't have
an opening for the mouth. 

799
00:50:12,340 --> 00:50:14,930
And now he's been silenced. 

800
00:50:27,390 --> 00:50:29,490
Okay. 

801
00:50:44,660 --> 00:50:46,880
I think Gideon knows about us. 

802
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,590
Let's leave today. 

803
00:50:48,710 --> 00:50:51,130
Now? I can't leave now. 

804
00:50:52,210 --> 00:50:54,840
You've chosen him instead of me? 

805
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:55,930
No! 

806
00:50:56,050 --> 00:50:58,800
I still want to be with you,
but I don't want to hurt him. 

807
00:50:58,930 --> 00:51:00,770
He's hurt you often enough!

808
00:51:00,890 --> 00:51:02,010
That's not fair. 

809
00:51:02,140 --> 00:51:03,230
I can't leave Gideon 

810
00:51:03,350 --> 00:51:06,690
while someone might be trying to kill him. 

811
00:51:06,810 --> 00:51:08,030
Look, I better go. 

812
00:51:08,140 --> 00:51:10,190
No, wait. 

813
00:51:10,310 --> 00:51:12,690
Just drop it. 

814
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:29,620
Early supper? 

815
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:33,300
It'll only be posh nibbles up at Melmoth Hall. 

816
00:51:33,420 --> 00:51:37,720
You're going to need something
to soak up the booze. 

817
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,270
I can't go to a party. 

818
00:51:41,390 --> 00:51:43,430
Why not? 

819
00:51:43,550 --> 00:51:45,520
I just think it would be better 

820
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,140
if we both stayed at home tonight. 

821
00:51:49,060 --> 00:51:50,730
Magnus, you can't give up on this. 

822
00:51:50,850 --> 00:51:53,360
Two people, one of them my curate, 

823
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,740
have died under the most
horrible of circumstances.

824
00:51:57,860 --> 00:51:59,660
And I'm very sorry. 

825
00:51:59,780 --> 00:52:04,250
But somebody has to try and save St. Cyprian's. 

826
00:52:04,370 --> 00:52:06,410
It's... It's what Andrew would have wanted. 

827
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,340
If we lose this church, 

828
00:52:10,460 --> 00:52:12,330
you'll be sent to a different parish, 

829
00:52:12,460 --> 00:52:14,800
and I won't be going with you. 

830
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,430
I'm not ready to leave Midsomer Oaks. 

831
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,180
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. 

832
00:53:06,300 --> 00:53:08,270
May I have you attention, please? 

833
00:53:10,060 --> 00:53:13,280
No, over here. 

834
00:53:15,100 --> 00:53:17,530
Not there. 

835
00:53:17,650 --> 00:53:19,320
Here. 

836
00:53:20,570 --> 00:53:23,320
Welcome to Melmoth Hall! 

837
00:53:24,570 --> 00:53:29,670
Tonight, I'm going to make
all of your money disappear...

838
00:53:29,790 --> 00:53:35,040
and reappear in the Save St. Cyprian's fund! 

839
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,380
Thank you. 

840
00:53:41,420 --> 00:53:42,890
Thank you. 

841
00:53:43,010 --> 00:53:44,930
How does he do that? 

842
00:53:47,140 --> 00:53:48,930
Okay, thanks. 

843
00:53:49,050 --> 00:53:51,730
Luke and Hannah's personal finances check out. 

844
00:53:51,850 --> 00:53:54,480
They certainly weren't siphoning
any money from the business, 

845
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,520
and there's no sign
of any other source of income. 

846
00:53:58,810 --> 00:54:00,820
Tech have just sent over a file. 

847
00:54:00,940 --> 00:54:04,660
They say the quality's not great. 

848
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,050
Zoom in on that, Nelson. 

849
00:54:16,710 --> 00:54:18,800
I've seen that ring before. 

850
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,420
Rhodri Probert wears one. 

851
00:54:39,860 --> 00:54:42,360
Good evening, Mr. Probert.

852
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,320
Why didn't you tell us about this before? 

853
00:54:47,450 --> 00:54:49,240
You didn't ask. 

854
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,710
I'm sure you've heard about the circumstances 

855
00:54:51,830 --> 00:54:54,330
in which Andrew Maplin's body was found. 

856
00:54:54,450 --> 00:54:55,880
Why didn't you come forward then? 

857
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,090
Mr. Probert... 

858
00:55:01,210 --> 00:55:03,510
you were present when
your former lover was killed, 

859
00:55:03,630 --> 00:55:06,680
and now a man caught filming
your solstice ceremony 

860
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,300
has also been murdered. 

861
00:55:08,430 --> 00:55:11,600
I suggest you start talking,
either here or at the station. 

862
00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:15,770
You can begin by telling us
about the high priest of Sulis. 

863
00:55:17,020 --> 00:55:19,650
Hannah wanted it, see...

864
00:55:19,770 --> 00:55:21,490
the high priesthood. 

865
00:55:21,610 --> 00:55:23,360
So did I. 

866
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:24,860
If you'd like to shuffle the deck. 

867
00:55:28,030 --> 00:55:30,620
Not something I'm terribly accomplished at. 

868
00:55:30,740 --> 00:55:32,620
It's fine. I understand. 

869
00:55:32,740 --> 00:55:34,040
- There we are.
- Thank you. 

870
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:44,000
Now, what were the two cards
you were thinking of? 

871
00:55:48,630 --> 00:55:52,930
The jack of spades and the four of diamonds. 

872
00:55:55,430 --> 00:55:58,350
Jack of spades and the four of diamonds. 

873
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,240
How do you do that? 

874
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:07,450
It's perfectly simple. 

875
00:56:07,570 --> 00:56:09,320
I deal in thoughts. You could think of anything. 

876
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:10,910
Now, a few moments ago, 

877
00:56:11,030 --> 00:56:13,780
I asked you to think of
something you like to wear. 

878
00:56:13,910 --> 00:56:15,250
Think of it now. 

879
00:56:18,290 --> 00:56:22,090
I'm sensing something beginning with... 

880
00:56:22,220 --> 00:56:23,090
"J." 

881
00:56:23,210 --> 00:56:25,340
No, "G." 

882
00:56:25,460 --> 00:56:27,380
Something green. 

883
00:56:28,380 --> 00:56:31,760
It's something that goes on your head. 

884
00:56:33,430 --> 00:56:34,900
A hat? 

885
00:56:35,010 --> 00:56:36,230
A green hat? 

886
00:56:36,350 --> 00:56:38,570
His old, green fishing hat. 

887
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,180
It's quite revolting. 

888
00:56:43,980 --> 00:56:48,360
Now, I asked you to think
of something that you fear. 

889
00:56:49,780 --> 00:56:51,740
Think of it now. 

890
00:56:53,660 --> 00:56:56,160
I'm not getting anything. 

891
00:56:59,370 --> 00:57:02,370
There was something you feared, wasn't there? 

892
00:57:05,330 --> 00:57:07,050
Until very recently. 

893
00:57:09,210 --> 00:57:11,090
But you don't anymore. 

894
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,810
Don't worry, Mrs. Soane.
I'm not going to read your mind. 

895
00:57:23,940 --> 00:57:26,110
Believe me, I wouldn't dare! 

896
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,240
Luke and some of the others didn't approve. 

897
00:57:36,370 --> 00:57:37,240
They... 

898
00:57:37,370 --> 00:57:40,040
Hannah was excited by the idea, 

899
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,630
and so was I, to be honest. 

900
00:57:42,750 --> 00:57:46,380
But I... I changed my mind a few days before. 

901
00:57:46,500 --> 00:57:47,800
Why was that? 

902
00:57:49,290 --> 00:57:53,170
Hannah said if I didn't
stand down and vote for her, 

903
00:57:53,300 --> 00:57:55,930
she'd tell Ailsa what happened between us. 

904
00:57:56,050 --> 00:57:57,850
She was blackmailing you, in effect? 

905
00:57:57,970 --> 00:57:59,140
How did you react? 

906
00:57:59,260 --> 00:58:01,310
Well, I wasn't thrilled, obviously. 

907
00:58:01,430 --> 00:58:03,430
Did you think she'd carry out her threat?

908
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,400
You could never tell with Hannah. 

909
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,740
I wasn't about to lose
everything over a stupid title. 

910
00:58:10,860 --> 00:58:16,080
12 magicians have lost their
lives performing this next feat. 

911
00:58:23,450 --> 00:58:25,960
Put a mark on the top of the bullet, please. 

912
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,630
Your initials, if you like, 

913
00:58:30,750 --> 00:58:33,600
but any mark will do,
as long as it's distinctive. 

914
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,690
Are you a good shot, Lorna? 

915
00:58:44,810 --> 00:58:46,230
Better than average. 

916
00:58:46,350 --> 00:58:48,600
That's a relief. 

917
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,490
Now... 

918
00:58:51,610 --> 00:58:54,580
forget about the glass. 

919
00:58:56,530 --> 00:58:58,450
Aim at my mouth. 

920
00:58:59,610 --> 00:59:01,540
I'm going to catch the bullet between my teeth. 

921
00:59:02,580 --> 00:59:04,000
All of you are witnesses.

922
00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:07,130
If any harm comes to me... 

923
00:59:07,250 --> 00:59:10,090
Lorna Soane is not to be held responsible. 

924
00:59:15,090 --> 00:59:16,430
Ready? 

925
00:59:19,050 --> 00:59:19,930
Aim. 

926
00:59:24,260 --> 00:59:25,480
Fire! 

927
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,020
So who was left in contention 

928
00:59:28,140 --> 00:59:30,490
after you withdrew and Hannah was killed? 

929
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:32,980
Who is the high priest of Sulis? 

930
00:59:33,110 --> 00:59:34,950
The obvious candidate, I suppose, 

931
00:59:35,070 --> 00:59:36,610
Sir Hugo Melmoth's descendant. 

932
00:59:36,740 --> 00:59:38,990
And who is that? 

933
00:59:40,070 --> 00:59:42,040
Lorna Soane. 

934
01:00:07,850 --> 01:00:11,270
If you'd like to confirm
that's the mark you made. 

935
01:00:11,390 --> 01:00:13,490
Yes, it is. 

936
01:00:38,340 --> 01:00:40,260
- Sir?
- Thanks. 

937
01:00:40,380 --> 01:00:42,380
Gunshot straight to the heart. 

938
01:00:44,970 --> 01:00:46,600
Looks like an antique.

939
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,820
It was on the lawn under the drawing room window. 

940
01:00:48,930 --> 01:00:50,350
It's been wiped clean. 

941
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,730
Surprise, surprise. 

942
01:00:52,850 --> 01:00:54,360
Time of death? 

943
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,280
With the usual caveats, of course. 

944
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,450
Up to 30 minutes before she was found, 

945
01:00:58,570 --> 01:01:01,040
though it might have been less. 

946
01:01:01,150 --> 01:01:06,030
You delivered the flowers
for the party this afternoon. 

947
01:01:07,700 --> 01:01:10,500
Why did you come back to the house? 

948
01:01:10,620 --> 01:01:12,540
I owed it to Andrew. 

949
01:01:12,660 --> 01:01:14,710
To carry on his fight against Gideon? 

950
01:01:14,830 --> 01:01:16,300
Against sorcery. 

951
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,970
I was watching while they
were getting the room ready,

952
01:01:19,090 --> 01:01:20,810
and I realized how the mirror worked. 

953
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,890
I wanted everyone to know how
easily they were being fooled. 

954
01:01:25,010 --> 01:01:28,180
- How did you get in?
- Through the kitchen. 

955
01:01:28,310 --> 01:01:30,930
The room behind the mirror was completely dark. 

956
01:01:31,060 --> 01:01:33,690
I felt my way to the switch and flipped it. 

957
01:01:35,150 --> 01:01:37,900
I didn't know there'd be a body. 

958
01:01:38,770 --> 01:01:41,320
Okay, you can go and help
with the witness statements. 

959
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,160
Thank you. 

960
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:47,700
What's the story? 

961
01:01:47,820 --> 01:01:50,500
The two P.C.s left their post
in the drawing room 

962
01:01:50,620 --> 01:01:52,540
because Mr. Bainbridge told them
there was a prowler

963
01:01:52,660 --> 01:01:53,960
in the back garden. 

964
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:55,420
I'm sorry! 

965
01:01:55,540 --> 01:01:56,840
Are you saying you were lying? 

966
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,800
Gideon insisted on doing the bullet catch. 

967
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:01,590
He was adamant. 

968
01:02:01,710 --> 01:02:03,470
Go on. 

969
01:02:03,590 --> 01:02:05,430
It's perfectly safe. 

970
01:02:05,550 --> 01:02:07,270
The gun is specially modified. 

971
01:02:07,390 --> 01:02:10,010
It's all done by sleight of hand. 

972
01:02:11,390 --> 01:02:14,230
We didn't think that your
officers would see it like that, 

973
01:02:14,350 --> 01:02:17,320
so he got me to get rid of them for a bit. 

974
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:19,530
By sending them on a wild goose chase. 

975
01:02:19,650 --> 01:02:21,450
I didn't know this would happen. 

976
01:02:21,570 --> 01:02:24,490
- Didn't you?
- Of course not. 

977
01:02:24,610 --> 01:02:26,830
Annabel and I were friends.

978
01:02:26,950 --> 01:02:29,250
A little more than that! 

979
01:02:30,910 --> 01:02:33,290
I've suspected for some time now. 

980
01:02:33,410 --> 01:02:39,130
But I didn't think Annabel would
be so stupid and ungrateful. 

981
01:02:39,250 --> 01:02:40,220
She's lying! 

982
01:02:40,340 --> 01:02:42,840
Of course Annabel and I were close. 

983
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,180
We spent a lot of time together
on tour, but we never... 

984
01:02:46,300 --> 01:02:49,640
I heard you today in your bedroom... 

985
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,190
quarrelling because she'd changed her mind 

986
01:02:53,310 --> 01:02:55,270
about leaving Gideon for you. 

987
01:02:57,060 --> 01:02:59,530
You were listening at the door? 

988
01:02:59,650 --> 01:03:02,120
She's probably got the room bugged. 

989
01:03:02,230 --> 01:03:05,910
I look out for my son's interests. 

990
01:03:06,030 --> 01:03:08,030
That's all.

991
01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:10,780
Thank you, Mrs. Latimer. 

992
01:03:19,710 --> 01:03:22,130
Can we take it you're no longer denying 

993
01:03:22,250 --> 01:03:23,880
that you and Annabel had an affair? 

994
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,340
Why did she change her mind? 

995
01:03:30,390 --> 01:03:32,890
She was worried about Gideon. 

996
01:03:33,010 --> 01:03:35,610
He was convinced he was the one
meant to die at the church, 

997
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,520
and Annabel half-believed him. 

998
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,240
You didn't? 

999
01:03:41,060 --> 01:03:43,990
Gideon always has to be the center of attention. 

1000
01:03:44,110 --> 01:03:46,660
Annabel was rattled by
Andrew Maplin's threats, too, 

1001
01:03:46,780 --> 01:03:50,450
and she thought the pagan stuff was dangerous. 

1002
01:03:50,570 --> 01:03:52,670
Is Gideon involved in that?

1003
01:03:52,780 --> 01:03:54,910
He thinks the act needs a new angle. 

1004
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,380
He went to the solstice
celebration at the temple, 

1005
01:03:58,500 --> 01:04:00,750
and there's something else tomorrow, 

1006
01:04:00,870 --> 01:04:02,720
an escapology stunt, I think, 

1007
01:04:02,830 --> 01:04:06,180
but he's being cagey about the details. 

1008
01:04:06,300 --> 01:04:08,300
I thought you were privy to everything. 

1009
01:04:08,420 --> 01:04:10,680
Not since we came to Midsomer Oaks. 

1010
01:04:12,220 --> 01:04:14,350
After you entered through the mirror, 

1011
01:04:14,470 --> 01:04:16,970
you circulated, talking
to guests and doing tricks. 

1012
01:04:17,100 --> 01:04:18,220
Is that right? 

1013
01:04:18,350 --> 01:04:19,730
Yes. 

1014
01:04:19,850 --> 01:04:23,230
Why did you choose Magnus
and Lorna Soane as subjects?

1015
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,480
They're well-known in the community. 

1016
01:04:25,610 --> 01:04:28,360
People like to see authority
figures put at a disadvantage. 

1017
01:04:29,940 --> 01:04:32,540
You went straight from one to the other, 

1018
01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:34,870
in full sight of everyone in the room? 

1019
01:04:34,990 --> 01:04:36,370
Yes. 

1020
01:04:36,490 --> 01:04:39,210
Everyone who was here will confirm that. 

1021
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,470
How does the mirror illusion work? 

1022
01:04:43,580 --> 01:04:45,630
It's quite technical. 

1023
01:04:45,750 --> 01:04:48,510
Lights, hidden panels. Theo will show you. 

1024
01:04:48,630 --> 01:04:51,050
But someone, or more than one person, 

1025
01:04:51,170 --> 01:04:53,770
can be behind the mirror for any length of time 

1026
01:04:53,890 --> 01:04:55,140
without being seen on the other side,

1027
01:04:55,260 --> 01:04:56,680
as long as the lights are off, right? 

1028
01:04:56,810 --> 01:04:58,430
Naturally. That's its function. 

1029
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,190
Before embarking on your routine
with Mrs. Soane, 

1030
01:05:02,310 --> 01:05:04,900
did you notice if your wife was in the room? 

1031
01:05:05,020 --> 01:05:07,240
It's Annabel's job to be aware of me, 

1032
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:08,320
not mine to look out for her. 

1033
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,250
Sorry if that sounds arrogant.
It's just the way it was. 

1034
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,580
I'm not sure. 

1035
01:05:17,700 --> 01:05:19,370
Why does it matter? 

1036
01:05:19,490 --> 01:05:22,170
Because there's a possibility
that Annabel was dead 

1037
01:05:22,290 --> 01:05:24,540
before Mr. Latimer made his entrance. 

1038
01:05:24,670 --> 01:05:26,170
What are you implying? 

1039
01:05:26,290 --> 01:05:29,670
He's saying that anyone
could have killed Annabel. 

1040
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:31,340
Including you... 

1041
01:05:31,460 --> 01:05:33,140
or me or Gideon. 

1042
01:05:33,260 --> 01:05:35,730
- Don't you dare!
- Mrs. Latimer, please. 

1043
01:05:37,850 --> 01:05:41,230
Do any of you recognize this gun? 

1044
01:05:41,350 --> 01:05:43,820
Yes, it's the one that Gideon
used for the bullet catch. 

1045
01:05:43,940 --> 01:05:44,940
No, it isn't. 

1046
01:05:46,060 --> 01:05:48,660
The wood on the handle's much darker, look. 

1047
01:05:48,770 --> 01:05:51,780
- The stunt gun's in my study.
- May we see it, please? 

1048
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:05,840
Mother's wrong. 

1049
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,760
Annabel was very happy being married to me. 

1050
01:06:10,130 --> 01:06:12,430
I'm afraid Mrs. Latimer was right. 

1051
01:06:12,550 --> 01:06:14,140
Mr. Bainbridge has confirmed it. 

1052
01:06:14,260 --> 01:06:15,880
And you believed him?

1053
01:06:16,010 --> 01:06:19,930
Theo's not happy working
behind the scenes anymore. 

1054
01:06:20,050 --> 01:06:21,560
He wants to be me. 

1055
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,900
So of course he's going to pretend 

1056
01:06:24,020 --> 01:06:26,520
that Annabel was his lover
now she's not here to deny it. 

1057
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,240
This gun has been modified 

1058
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,570
so it doesn't shoot real bullets, right? 

1059
01:06:31,690 --> 01:06:33,610
Yes. 

1060
01:06:33,740 --> 01:06:35,490
If it is the one used in the stunt, 

1061
01:06:35,610 --> 01:06:37,080
Mrs. Soane's prints will be on it. 

1062
01:06:40,410 --> 01:06:42,750
“The Great Enrico.“ 

1063
01:06:42,870 --> 01:06:45,040
That's my father. 

1064
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,260
I didn't know he was a magician, too. 

1065
01:06:47,370 --> 01:06:49,050
Did he teach you all his tricks? 

1066
01:06:49,170 --> 01:06:52,170
He died when I was a child.

1067
01:06:52,300 --> 01:06:55,420
He didn't exactly have a glittering career. 

1068
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:03,310
Sir Hugo? 

1069
01:07:03,430 --> 01:07:04,930
Yes. 

1070
01:07:05,060 --> 01:07:06,440
It came with the house. 

1071
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,860
It's the anniversary
of his death tomorrow, isn't it? 

1072
01:07:08,980 --> 01:07:12,070
You obviously know a lot more
about the old chap than I do. 

1073
01:07:13,820 --> 01:07:15,440
The date is on his grave. 

1074
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,580
Mr. Bainbridge says that you're
very interested in paganism. 

1075
01:07:20,700 --> 01:07:25,300
He thinks you have big plans of
your own to, um, mark the day. 

1076
01:07:25,410 --> 01:07:28,670
I did. Not anymore. 

1077
01:07:28,790 --> 01:07:30,670
The paganism was just a new gimmick 

1078
01:07:30,790 --> 01:07:32,790
to help sell the act, that's all.

1079
01:07:36,550 --> 01:07:38,520
I did love Annabel, Mr. Barnaby. 

1080
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,730
I don't know what I'm going to do without her. 

1081
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,190
I didn't hear you get up. 

1082
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,240
Yeah, Betty woke at 5:00. 

1083
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,110
Once I'd settled her back down, 

1084
01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,450
I thought I might as well stay up 

1085
01:07:59,570 --> 01:08:00,870
and tell you what I've found out 

1086
01:08:00,990 --> 01:08:03,460
about Midsomer Oaks and your friend Sir Hugo. 

1087
01:08:03,580 --> 01:08:05,540
Somehow, I don't think we'd have been chums 

1088
01:08:05,660 --> 01:08:07,880
even if I'd lived 200 years ago. 

1089
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,500
Well, there's not much, I'm afraid, 

1090
01:08:09,620 --> 01:08:12,590
not even in the local
Historical Society archives.

1091
01:08:12,710 --> 01:08:15,180
It seems Sir Hugo was a little eccentric 

1092
01:08:15,300 --> 01:08:18,270
and held some rather unusual views on religion, 

1093
01:08:18,380 --> 01:08:21,600
but other than that, he was
a model landlord and landowner. 

1094
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,940
That sounds like the official version. 

1095
01:08:24,050 --> 01:08:25,270
Yeah, listen to this bit, though. 

1096
01:08:25,390 --> 01:08:26,940
“The exact circumstances 

1097
01:08:27,060 --> 01:08:29,350
of Sir Hugo's death remain unexplained, 

1098
01:08:29,480 --> 01:08:31,900
but it was widely believed
that he jumped into a fire 

1099
01:08:32,020 --> 01:08:35,370
in the belief that he would be
reincarnated like the phoenix." 

1100
01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:37,580
Did you say “a little eccentric"? 

1101
01:08:37,690 --> 01:08:39,410
So what's going on?

1102
01:08:39,530 --> 01:08:42,120
Has Sir Hugo finally mastered
the art of reincarnation? 

1103
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,240
- Do you think he's your killer?
- Not quite. 

1104
01:08:45,370 --> 01:08:49,540
But his, um, pagan practices
seem to be flourishing again, 

1105
01:08:49,660 --> 01:08:52,710
and not everyone is happy
about it, as you can imagine. 

1106
01:08:52,830 --> 01:08:54,330
Is that what these murders have been about? 

1107
01:08:54,460 --> 01:08:56,550
I'm not sure yet. Maybe. 

1108
01:08:56,670 --> 01:08:59,390
Or maybe that's what someone wants us to think. 

1109
01:08:59,510 --> 01:09:02,730
I'd like to know the truth about Sir Hugo. 

1110
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,590
Well, if anyone can tell you
that, it would be Dr. Grenville.

1111
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,470
She's the lady who gave the talk the other night. 

1112
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,900
I can give her a call. 

1113
01:09:10,020 --> 01:09:11,860
Would you? 

1114
01:09:12,980 --> 01:09:14,270
Bye. 

1115
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,960
Do you think Gideon didn't know about the affair? 

1116
01:09:24,070 --> 01:09:24,950
No. 

1117
01:09:25,070 --> 01:09:27,290
The question is, is he lying because he's guilty 

1118
01:09:27,410 --> 01:09:29,580
or because he's afraid we'll think he's guilty? 

1119
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:31,120
Theo thinks he did it, 

1120
01:09:31,250 --> 01:09:33,670
and Carole would love it to be Theo. 

1121
01:09:33,790 --> 01:09:36,960
Gideon had motive, means, probably opportunity, 

1122
01:09:37,090 --> 01:09:39,260
and a motive to kill Andrew. 

1123
01:09:39,380 --> 01:09:40,510
But not Hannah. 

1124
01:09:40,630 --> 01:09:42,630
We still don't have
a real link between the victims

1125
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,510
and not a shred of physical evidence. 

1126
01:09:44,630 --> 01:09:48,010
Luke Altman wasn't on the guest
list at Melmoth Hall last night. 

1127
01:09:48,140 --> 01:09:50,010
Not that that puts him beyond suspicion. 

1128
01:09:50,140 --> 01:09:51,060
No, you're right. 

1129
01:09:51,180 --> 01:09:53,810
Just because Theo lied about seeing an intruder 

1130
01:09:53,940 --> 01:09:55,690
doesn't mean there wasn't one. 

1131
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,540
Gideon, my dear. 

1132
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:19,750
Did you sleep? 

1133
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:21,930
Have you eaten this morning? 

1134
01:10:22,050 --> 01:10:24,470
Yes, thank you. 

1135
01:10:24,590 --> 01:10:26,090
Really, I'm fine. 

1136
01:10:26,220 --> 01:10:27,510
Good. 

1137
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:29,600
Magnus will be up a little later, 

1138
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,220
but I wanted to see you first. 

1139
01:10:32,350 --> 01:10:35,650
Because this tragedy must make no difference. 

1140
01:10:35,770 --> 01:10:36,990
Excuse me?

1141
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:38,700
It has to be tonight. 

1142
01:10:38,810 --> 01:10:42,280
Earth magic and fire magic combined at midsummer. 

1143
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:43,700
The power of the wizard 

1144
01:10:43,820 --> 01:10:45,410
harnessed to the service of the goddess! 

1145
01:10:45,530 --> 01:10:46,870
I know how much this means to you, but... 

1146
01:10:46,990 --> 01:10:48,990
No, no. 

1147
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,330
It isn't about me. 

1148
01:10:51,450 --> 01:10:53,550
It's about the village. 

1149
01:10:53,660 --> 01:10:58,290
Midsomer Oaks has never really
prospered since Sir Hugo died. 

1150
01:10:58,420 --> 01:11:02,170
It's up to you and me to revive his spirit 

1151
01:11:02,300 --> 01:11:04,050
and carry on his work! 

1152
01:11:05,590 --> 01:11:07,760
How well did you know Annabel Latimer'? 

1153
01:11:09,180 --> 01:11:10,720
We'd spoken a few times. 

1154
01:11:10,850 --> 01:11:13,520
A charming young woman.

1155
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:15,900
And how long have you known about 

1156
01:11:16,020 --> 01:11:18,020
your wife's involvement with the pagans? 

1157
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,700
Well, she's never made a secret of it at home. 

1158
01:11:23,820 --> 01:11:29,660
I-in public, of course,
she's discreet, for my sake. 

1159
01:11:31,820 --> 01:11:34,170
Was Andrew Maplin threatening to expose her? 

1160
01:11:35,330 --> 01:11:39,130
He told me he planned to
discuss it with the bishop, yes. 

1161
01:11:39,250 --> 01:11:40,550
Could you have lost your job? 

1162
01:11:40,670 --> 01:11:43,140
It's not that easy to get rid of 

1163
01:11:43,250 --> 01:11:45,680
a beneficed clergyman of the Church of England. 

1164
01:11:47,130 --> 01:11:50,680
But it wouldn't have helped the
campaign to save St. Cyprian's.

1165
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:54,020
In any case, I fear that's a lost cause now. 

1166
01:11:54,140 --> 01:11:57,860
The, bishop called this morning 

1167
01:11:57,980 --> 01:12:00,190
to say he's shutting us down. 

1168
01:12:00,310 --> 01:12:03,280
There's no such thing as a lost cause, Magnus. 

1169
01:12:07,900 --> 01:12:09,900
Mrs. Soane, I should tell you 

1170
01:12:10,030 --> 01:12:13,080
that I talked to Rhodri Probert yesterday. 

1171
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,200
He was very forthcoming. 

1172
01:12:16,540 --> 01:12:18,380
No reason he shouldn't be. 

1173
01:12:19,500 --> 01:12:21,370
Nothing we do is illegal. 

1174
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:23,670
But it is highly unorthodox 

1175
01:12:23,790 --> 01:12:26,760
for a vicar's wife to lead a pagan cult, 

1176
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:30,430
even one founded by her ancestor. 

1177
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:33,980
Paganism isn't fundamentally

1178
01:12:34,100 --> 01:12:37,140
at odds with Christianity, Inspector. 

1179
01:12:37,270 --> 01:12:40,610
Both traditions have existed side by side 

1180
01:12:40,730 --> 01:12:42,950
in Midsomer Oaks for centuries. 

1181
01:12:43,060 --> 01:12:45,690
And the village flourished in Sir Hugo's time, 

1182
01:12:45,820 --> 01:12:47,820
as never before or since. 

1183
01:12:49,110 --> 01:12:52,360
You were both present
at the scene of two murders. 

1184
01:12:52,490 --> 01:12:54,240
And Reverend Soane has admitted 

1185
01:12:54,370 --> 01:12:57,290
that his relationship with his curate was... 

1186
01:12:57,410 --> 01:12:59,500
strained, to say the least. 

1187
01:12:59,620 --> 01:13:02,540
If every “strained relationship“ 

1188
01:13:02,670 --> 01:13:05,420
between vicar and curate resulted in murder, 

1189
01:13:05,540 --> 01:13:08,760
half the clergy in England
would be in prison or dead. 

1190
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:09,680
Lorna! 

1191
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:13,020
I'm not concerned with every
strained relationship, 

1192
01:13:13,130 --> 01:13:14,730
Mrs. Soane. 

1193
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:16,890
I'd like an account of your movements last night 

1194
01:13:17,010 --> 01:13:19,310
from the moment you arrived at Melmoth Hall. 

1195
01:13:19,430 --> 01:13:22,150
As precise as possible, please. 

1196
01:13:31,610 --> 01:13:32,780
It's very kind of you 

1197
01:13:32,900 --> 01:13:35,750
to see me at such short notice, Dr. Grenville. 

1198
01:13:35,870 --> 01:13:38,080
Not at all, my dear. 

1199
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:39,580
- Tea?
- No, thank you. 

1200
01:13:39,700 --> 01:13:41,880
I don't want to take up too much of your time. 

1201
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,670
I've been working on this book
since the last century. 

1202
01:13:44,790 --> 01:13:48,420
Another half an hour
won't make that much difference. 

1203
01:13:48,540 --> 01:13:51,170
What about the baby? Would he like a biscuit? 

1204
01:13:52,090 --> 01:13:54,590
No. She's fine, thank you. 

1205
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,060
You mentioned that your research had taken you 

1206
01:13:57,180 --> 01:13:59,560
into the archives of most of
the big pre-Victorian houses 

1207
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,020
in the county. 

1208
01:14:01,140 --> 01:14:04,570
I wondered if Melmoth Hall
might have been one of them. 

1209
01:14:04,690 --> 01:14:06,110
Why do you wonder that? 

1210
01:14:08,060 --> 01:14:10,780
My husband's investigating a series of murders 

1211
01:14:10,900 --> 01:14:12,990
in Midsomer Oaks. 

1212
01:14:13,110 --> 01:14:16,030
Recent murders? 

1213
01:14:29,210 --> 01:14:30,760
Fine. Thanks. 

1214
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,130
If you can send the report
through as soon as you can? 

1215
01:14:34,260 --> 01:14:35,470
Okay.

1216
01:14:37,510 --> 01:14:40,260
Lorna Soane's prints are on the stunt gun. 

1217
01:14:40,390 --> 01:14:44,020
So are Gideon's and Theo's but no one else's. 

1218
01:14:44,140 --> 01:14:48,570
Ballistics say the real gun
was fired once with a silencer. 

1219
01:14:48,690 --> 01:14:51,570
Now, all the victims had some kind of dispute 

1220
01:14:51,690 --> 01:14:55,160
with Lorna Soane, but I think
we're missing something, 

1221
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:56,780
another link between them. 

1222
01:14:56,900 --> 01:14:59,450
Sir, I wasn't having any luck finding. 

1223
01:14:59,570 --> 01:15:02,170
Luke's birth certificate, so I
ran a check on his fingerprints. 

1224
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:06,380
Luke Altman's real name is Seth Farringdale. 

1225
01:15:06,500 --> 01:15:08,750
And? 

1226
01:15:08,870 --> 01:15:12,550
He was convicted of manslaughter
when he was 13 years old. 

1227
01:15:42,950 --> 01:15:44,120
Hello, Seth. 

1228
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:47,710
I've been expecting you. 

1229
01:15:56,340 --> 01:15:58,680
Young Seth was messing around with fireworks 

1230
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,100
on an abandoned small holding
outside Midsomer Mere 

1231
01:16:01,220 --> 01:16:02,970
when an outbuilding caught fire. 

1232
01:16:03,100 --> 01:16:06,900
A homeless man called
William Holt was asleep inside. 

1233
01:16:07,020 --> 01:16:08,610
Seth's school bag was found at the scene, 

1234
01:16:08,730 --> 01:16:10,600
and he admitted everything. 

1235
01:16:10,730 --> 01:16:11,850
He'd been in trouble before 

1236
01:16:11,980 --> 01:16:14,570
and he served four years on a secure unit. 

1237
01:16:14,690 --> 01:16:17,320
He wasn't given a new identity on release,

1238
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:18,870
but he seems to have been calling himself 

1239
01:16:18,990 --> 01:16:20,160
Luke Altman ever since. 

1240
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:21,530
Hannah would have found out. 

1241
01:16:21,660 --> 01:16:23,750
Luke's real name when they
married, if not before, 

1242
01:16:23,870 --> 01:16:26,460
and she's bound to have asked why he changed it. 

1243
01:16:26,580 --> 01:16:29,880
Or perhaps it's more complicated than that. 

1244
01:16:42,890 --> 01:16:45,140
This is Rhodri. Please leave a message. 

1245
01:16:45,260 --> 01:16:48,230
Rhodri, where are you? I'm frightened. 

1246
01:16:48,350 --> 01:16:50,820
You promised me nothing was gonna happen tonight. 

1247
01:17:20,210 --> 01:17:21,890
It's wonderful. 

1248
01:17:32,230 --> 01:17:33,320
Mr. Altman? 

1249
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,290
Shall I start a search for him? 

1250
01:17:45,410 --> 01:17:48,000
Yes, put out a call to uniform.

1251
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,090
I want to look at the scene of the crime. 

1252
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:52,130
Which one? We've got three. 

1253
01:17:52,250 --> 01:17:53,290
Four, in fact. 

1254
01:17:53,410 --> 01:17:55,760
At the moment, I'm interested in the first one, 

1255
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:57,840
the one that I think all this has been about. 

1256
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:06,930
Luke built a circular
metal frame out of chicken wire 

1257
01:18:07,050 --> 01:18:10,100
eight feet in circumference and six feet high. 

1258
01:18:10,220 --> 01:18:12,150
- Six feet?
- Yeah. 

1259
01:18:12,270 --> 01:18:14,270
The fireworks were just cheap things, 

1260
01:18:14,390 --> 01:18:16,070
but he'd constructed two mortars. 

1261
01:18:16,190 --> 01:18:17,780
One did what it was supposed to 

1262
01:18:17,900 --> 01:18:20,150
and set off the bangers in the frame.

1263
01:18:20,270 --> 01:18:22,780
The other went through a hole in the roof 

1264
01:18:22,900 --> 01:18:24,830
and set the place on fire. 

1265
01:18:26,530 --> 01:18:28,750
Oh, it gets worse. 

1266
01:18:28,870 --> 01:18:30,460
They think Holt woke up, 

1267
01:18:30,580 --> 01:18:32,500
attempted to run out of the building. 

1268
01:18:32,620 --> 01:18:35,420
He was probably drunk, and he
went straight into the frame. 

1269
01:18:35,540 --> 01:18:38,540
It's a pretty horrible story, isn't it'? 

1270
01:18:38,670 --> 01:18:40,920
And not very plausible. 

1271
01:18:41,050 --> 01:18:44,220
What, you think Luke knew
someone was in the building? 

1272
01:18:44,340 --> 01:18:46,310
That it was murder, not manslaughter? 

1273
01:18:46,430 --> 01:18:48,270
No, but I don't think he was alone. 

1274
01:18:48,390 --> 01:18:51,560
One 13-year-old transported
all that stuff up here

1275
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,770
and built a frame that big? 

1276
01:18:53,890 --> 01:18:55,440
Oh, you're right. 

1277
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:57,900
It would be no fun on your own,
either, would it'? 

1278
01:18:58,020 --> 01:19:00,490
Think of all the stupid things
you did when you were a kid. 

1279
01:19:00,610 --> 01:19:02,070
You did them because you were with your mates, 

1280
01:19:02,190 --> 01:19:03,440
egging each other on. 

1281
01:19:03,570 --> 01:19:06,040
Speak for yourself, Nelson,
but, yes, you're right. 

1282
01:19:06,150 --> 01:19:09,750
And Luke was a loyal friend, back then, at least. 

1283
01:19:09,870 --> 01:19:12,790
Do you think he's out for revenge now'? 

1284
01:19:12,910 --> 01:19:15,410
Or profit? That £20,000. 

1285
01:19:17,870 --> 01:19:19,720
Hannah was the only victim 

1286
01:19:19,830 --> 01:19:23,340
without an obvious link to Gideon Latimer.

1287
01:19:23,460 --> 01:19:25,590
Gideon and Luke are the same age, aren't they? 

1288
01:19:25,710 --> 01:19:27,560
And they both grew up in Midsomer Mere. 

1289
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,270
We need to find Luke now. 

1290
01:19:36,270 --> 01:19:39,320
It wasn't just whisky that made
me sleep through those nights 

1291
01:19:39,440 --> 01:19:42,860
when you went creeping out
to your temple, was it? 

1292
01:19:42,980 --> 01:19:45,580
A harmless sleeping draft. 

1293
01:19:45,690 --> 01:19:48,570
I thought you'd be happier in ignorance. 

1294
01:19:48,700 --> 01:19:52,670
I pretended to Inspector Barnaby
that I knew all along, 

1295
01:19:52,780 --> 01:19:54,210
but I didn't suspect anything 

1296
01:19:54,330 --> 01:19:57,330
until Andrew told me the day he was murdered. 

1297
01:19:57,450 --> 01:20:00,050
What really hurt...

1298
01:20:00,170 --> 01:20:02,210
is that he seemed almost sorry for me. 

1299
01:20:04,550 --> 01:20:06,260
I don't know you anymore, Lorna! 

1300
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,980
All this high priestess nonsense. 

1301
01:20:12,850 --> 01:20:14,270
Have you told Gregory 

1302
01:20:14,390 --> 01:20:16,810
it's nonsense for him to call himself bishop? 

1303
01:20:16,930 --> 01:20:19,310
Believe me, I've been tempted. 

1304
01:20:19,440 --> 01:20:22,610
I can make a joke out of most
things, Lorna, but not this. 

1305
01:20:22,730 --> 01:20:26,330
I'm warning you... Don't go out tonight! 

1306
01:20:26,440 --> 01:20:28,870
This has to stop now! 

1307
01:20:29,740 --> 01:20:31,580
Or what? 

1308
01:20:34,660 --> 01:20:36,540
Don't push me, Lorna. 

1309
01:20:45,630 --> 01:20:48,300
John? I've just got back from Dr. Grenville's. 

1310
01:20:48,420 --> 01:20:51,020
Sir Hugo Melmoth didn't set fire to himself.

1311
01:20:51,130 --> 01:20:53,060
The villagers trapped him
and threw him into the flames. 

1312
01:20:53,180 --> 01:20:54,390
And I don't blame them! 

1313
01:20:54,510 --> 01:20:57,770
He wasn't the harmless eccentric
that we've been hearing about. 

1314
01:20:57,890 --> 01:20:59,640
Thanks for that. 

1315
01:20:59,770 --> 01:21:01,640
Kiss Betty for me. 

1316
01:21:03,270 --> 01:21:05,270
Midsomer Oaks' pagans 

1317
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,320
honor Sir Hugo Melmoth
on Midsummer's Eve every year, 

1318
01:21:08,440 --> 01:21:11,370
but they don't know the truth. 

1319
01:21:11,490 --> 01:21:14,460
His death wasn't a
self-sacrifice that went wrong. 

1320
01:21:14,570 --> 01:21:16,080
It was murder. 

1321
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,040
Yeah, it's D.C.I. Barnaby. 

1322
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,130
I need urgent backup at Melmoth Hall... 

1323
01:21:20,250 --> 01:21:22,670
Fire service and ambulance, as well as police.

1324
01:21:22,790 --> 01:21:24,340
What's happening? 

1325
01:21:25,630 --> 01:21:29,720
Sir Hugo was a ruthless tyrant
who invented his own religion 

1326
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,590
as a cover for his rapacity and greed 

1327
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:36,640
and made human sacrifices
of those who stood in his way. 

1328
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:40,690
And now someone is following in his footsteps. 

1329
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:45,400
Why are you still here? 

1330
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:47,650
Haven't you done enough damage? 

1331
01:21:47,770 --> 01:21:49,570
I've still got things to do. 

1332
01:21:49,690 --> 01:21:52,660
- What things?
- Tonight, for a start. 

1333
01:21:53,650 --> 01:21:56,000
Gideon doesn't need you for that. 

1334
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,870
I can do everything that's necessary. 

1335
01:21:58,990 --> 01:22:02,790
I intend to finish what I've started.

1336
01:22:14,340 --> 01:22:19,020
This is Midsummer Eve... 

1337
01:22:19,140 --> 01:22:22,310
the time of year when Sir Hugo Melmoth, 

1338
01:22:22,430 --> 01:22:26,690
who did so much to revive
the old ways of Midsomer Oaks, 

1339
01:22:26,810 --> 01:22:32,820
threw himself into the flames and was born again, 

1340
01:22:32,940 --> 01:22:36,740
in spirit if not in body. 

1341
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:52,380
Every year, we mark his sacrifice. 

1342
01:22:52,500 --> 01:22:58,890
But tonight, we are going to
re-create it with a new phoenix, 

1343
01:22:59,010 --> 01:23:02,810
who will be consumed by the fire... 

1344
01:23:02,930 --> 01:23:07,060
and then rise again from the ashes! 

1345
01:24:42,910 --> 01:24:45,030
Put that fire out! 

1346
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:46,830
There's someone inside the box! 

1347
01:24:48,700 --> 01:24:51,920
Of course there is! It's Gideon!

1348
01:24:53,130 --> 01:24:55,380
It's perfectly safe. 

1349
01:24:55,500 --> 01:24:57,050
He's not really in there. 

1350
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,060
You're exceeding your authority here. 

1351
01:25:00,170 --> 01:25:03,800
We are commemorating the death of a noble man! 

1352
01:25:03,930 --> 01:25:05,730
Opinions differ on that, Mrs. Soane. 

1353
01:25:05,850 --> 01:25:07,270
Call your men off. 

1354
01:25:07,390 --> 01:25:10,230
Everything's fine. I'm safe. 

1355
01:25:13,770 --> 01:25:15,440
But who is that? 

1356
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,120
It's Luke Altman, sir. He's still alive. 

1357
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:34,960
I didn't see him. 

1358
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:36,880
I was only in there for a few seconds. 

1359
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:38,550
This is your fault. 

1360
01:25:38,670 --> 01:25:41,140
The fire and the sacrifice were your idea. 

1361
01:25:41,260 --> 01:25:43,630
No one was supposed to get hurt! 

1362
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:44,760
Annabel begged me

1363
01:25:44,890 --> 01:25:47,480
not to have anything to do with
you and your pathetic cult. 

1364
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:51,400
Luke could have died.
Why are you not arresting her? 

1365
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,310
Because she's not guilty. 

1366
01:25:54,770 --> 01:25:57,940
All the victims had a link
to Mrs. Soane and paganism, 

1367
01:25:58,070 --> 01:26:00,240
but that was just a classic
piece of misdirection. 

1368
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:04,330
They all had something
much more important in common. 

1369
01:26:04,450 --> 01:26:06,490
They all posed a threat... 

1370
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:07,910
to Gideon. 

1371
01:26:09,580 --> 01:26:12,800
I barely knew Hannah or Andrew Maplin! 

1372
01:26:12,910 --> 01:26:15,790
But Hannah knew all about you from her husband. 

1373
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:19,840
Luke took full responsibility
for the death of William Holt, 

1374
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:21,880
but he didn't act alone. 

1375
01:26:22,010 --> 01:26:24,300
You were with him on that day. 

1376
01:26:24,420 --> 01:26:26,180
We were just children. 

1377
01:26:26,300 --> 01:26:28,680
We didn't mean to hurt anyone. 

1378
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:30,100
Gideon, don't say any more. 

1379
01:26:30,220 --> 01:26:32,480
But Luke never said a word. 

1380
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:37,980
Until he married Hannah
and told her the whole story. 

1381
01:26:38,110 --> 01:26:39,860
Even then, nothing might have happened 

1382
01:26:39,980 --> 01:26:42,610
if Gideon hadn't come to live at Melmoth Hall. 

1383
01:26:42,730 --> 01:26:46,530
You're completely wrong.
Gideon wouldn't kill anyone. 

1384
01:26:46,660 --> 01:26:48,700
Of course you believe that, Mrs. Latimer. 

1385
01:26:48,820 --> 01:26:49,830
You're his mother.

1386
01:26:49,950 --> 01:26:53,710
But I have to consider the evidence against him. 

1387
01:26:53,830 --> 01:26:56,750
The killer was someone who knew a great deal 

1388
01:26:56,870 --> 01:27:00,500
about magic in general and about
Gideon's tricks in particular. 

1389
01:27:00,630 --> 01:27:03,470
My son is not a murderer. 

1390
01:27:03,590 --> 01:27:06,560
No. He doesn't need to be. 

1391
01:27:08,050 --> 01:27:10,800
You take care of his enemies for him. 

1392
01:27:10,930 --> 01:27:12,730
This is absurd. 

1393
01:27:12,850 --> 01:27:13,940
What is he talking about? 

1394
01:27:14,060 --> 01:27:16,400
Everything was going so well, wasn't it? 

1395
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:22,070
Gideon was rich and successful,
living with you at Melmoth Hall. 

1396
01:27:22,190 --> 01:27:26,410
But then Hannah Altman appeared,
blackmailing you...

1397
01:27:28,030 --> 01:27:30,500
...threatening to ruin everything 

1398
01:27:30,620 --> 01:27:34,590
by exposing Gideon's nasty, little secret. 

1399
01:27:35,500 --> 01:27:37,170
The sabotage at the church. 

1400
01:27:38,210 --> 01:27:39,460
No! 

1401
01:27:39,580 --> 01:27:40,710
That was you? 

1402
01:27:40,830 --> 01:27:42,880
Andrew Maplin 

1403
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,510
knew nothing about the death of William Holt. 

1404
01:27:46,630 --> 01:27:50,180
He just had a gift for choosing the right words 

1405
01:27:50,300 --> 01:27:51,430
at the wrong time, 

1406
01:27:51,550 --> 01:27:55,900
so when he started talking about
exposing liars and murderers... 

1407
01:27:56,020 --> 01:27:57,060
Murderers, fornicators. 

1408
01:27:57,180 --> 01:28:00,110
...you thought he must have found out the truth. 

1409
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,690
He was going to destroy us. 

1410
01:28:06,820 --> 01:28:08,990
I was only protecting you, my darling,

1411
01:28:09,110 --> 01:28:11,110
like I always have done. 

1412
01:28:12,370 --> 01:28:13,870
You killed Annabel? 

1413
01:28:13,990 --> 01:28:15,120
Fire! 

1414
01:28:17,450 --> 01:28:20,080
She betrayed you. 

1415
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,340
You know, she always said you couldn't bear 

1416
01:28:25,460 --> 01:28:27,590
the thought of sharing me with anybody else. 

1417
01:28:27,710 --> 01:28:29,140
Nelson? 

1418
01:28:30,430 --> 01:28:33,900
All my life, you have been there... 

1419
01:28:34,010 --> 01:28:35,940
controlling my every move. 

1420
01:28:36,060 --> 01:28:38,430
And it brought you the money and fame 

1421
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:40,190
your father and I never had. 

1422
01:28:40,310 --> 01:28:44,110
You? You were just his assistant. 

1423
01:28:45,440 --> 01:28:48,030
That's all I was allowed to be. 

1424
01:28:48,150 --> 01:28:49,900
But I was better than him. 

1425
01:28:51,150 --> 01:28:54,330
Don't forget, I taught you everything you know.

1426
01:28:54,450 --> 01:28:58,040
And you've surpassed both of us, my darling. 

1427
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:01,130
Well, that means nothing now... 

1428
01:29:02,710 --> 01:29:08,310
...because you destroyed
everything that matters to me. 

1429
01:29:12,130 --> 01:29:14,560
It's all finished. 

1430
01:29:15,890 --> 01:29:18,360
It's done. 

1431
01:29:27,230 --> 01:29:29,490
Gideon! 

1432
01:29:30,820 --> 01:29:32,870
Gideon! 

1433
01:29:45,630 --> 01:29:47,090
Carole Latimer, 

1434
01:29:47,210 --> 01:29:51,590
I am arresting you for
the murders of Hannah Altman, 

1435
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:55,890
Andrew Maplin, and Annabel Latimer... 

1436
01:29:56,010 --> 01:29:59,270
and for the attempted murder of Luke Altman. 

1437
01:29:59,390 --> 01:30:01,140
You do not have to say anything, 

1438
01:30:01,270 --> 01:30:04,150
but whatever you do say
will be given in evidence. 

1439
01:30:10,860 --> 01:30:11,990
Inspector Barnaby?

1440
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:16,920
Somebody said you'd arrested a woman. 

1441
01:30:17,030 --> 01:30:18,960
Carole Latimer. 

1442
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,370
Magnus! 

1443
01:30:21,490 --> 01:30:23,670
Take me home. 

1444
01:30:23,790 --> 01:30:25,170
Mrs. Soane? 

1445
01:30:26,210 --> 01:30:28,080
I believe this is yours. 

1446
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:35,720
Before you celebrate Sir Hugo's
sacrifice again next year, 

1447
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:39,560
might I suggest you get in touch
with Dr. Dorothea Grenville? 

1448
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,180
Lorna and I will be leaving Midsomer Oaks 

1449
01:30:43,310 --> 01:30:45,940
long before then, Mr. Barnaby. 

1450
01:30:46,060 --> 01:30:49,440
We both need to make a fresh start. 

1451
01:30:58,410 --> 01:31:00,330
All the pagan and Christian stuff 

1452
01:31:00,450 --> 01:31:02,870
was just more smoke and mirrors, wasn't it? 

1453
01:31:02,990 --> 01:31:05,590
This wasn't about religion at all.

1454
01:31:05,710 --> 01:31:08,210
This was about mother love. 

1455
01:31:08,330 --> 01:31:10,630
That can be as powerful as any religion. 

1456
01:31:10,750 --> 01:31:12,550
On the whole, Nelson, 

1457
01:31:12,670 --> 01:31:15,140
I'm glad your parents didn't encourage you 

1458
01:31:15,260 --> 01:31:17,050
to pursue a career in magic. 

1459
01:31:17,180 --> 01:31:19,680
It's never too late for
a change of direction, sir. 

1460
01:31:23,890 --> 01:31:24,940
Oh, at last! 

1461
01:31:25,060 --> 01:31:27,030
I thought you'd vanished into a puff of smoke. 

1462
01:31:29,900 --> 01:31:32,190
Right, I've got a really good trick for you. 

1463
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:34,030
Please! 

1464
01:31:34,150 --> 01:31:36,990
I'm gonna make a bottle of beer disappear. 

1465
01:31:37,110 --> 01:31:38,160
Oh, that's easy. 

1466
01:31:39,490 --> 01:31:41,540
Go on, Charlie. 

1467
01:31:42,620 --> 01:31:44,670
Okay? 

1468
01:31:53,630 --> 01:31:56,720
- No, that's brilliant!
- That's actually really good.

1469
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:58,760
- That's brilliant.
- It's magic! 

1470
01:32:01,090 --> 01:32:03,690
Oh, Sykesie, what are you doing? 

1471
01:32:05,220 --> 01:32:07,650
Come... Sykes? Sykes! 

1472
01:32:11,150 --> 01:32:13,400
The art of misdirection, canine-style! 

1473
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:17,780
Sykesie! Come back with those sausages! 

1474
01:32:17,900 --> 01:32:20,120
Sykesie!
