Barnaby anything spiritual we live in a materialistic world did you threaten Alex Preston physical violence is alien to us what did you say I told him he was compromising his life force by denying access to the stones you say he was found there in the circle his body was on the central stone the bloodstone is that what it's called only by the ignorant people love the idea of sacrifice ritual bloodletting so forth it's all nonsense the circle is sacred to the old guards yep but it's not a slaughterhouse where were you between midnight and 1:00 o'clock this morning mr. canning well up till midnight maybe a bit after I was with Letitia Clifford she's a believer like you we were going over local deeds and charters at a last-ditch attempt to stop Preston ploughing any luck depends what do you mean look I'm sorry he's dead I'm sorry about the manner of his death but if it means gorse meadow won't be ploughed but I'd be lying if I told you I was sorry about that sorry he's dead of course I imagine those already talked of ritual druid sacrifice and other such nonsense you were all sweetie he fenced the meadow knowing we were preparing for a bloodstone ceremony did it quite deliberately of course the bloodstone was nothing to do with bloodletting mr. Barnaby reference to the spring equinox essence of Druidism the hallowed earth happens in two days time nothing to stop us now I suppose apart from the fact that crow called circle is now a crime scene and therefore totally off-limits nettle and hearts horn no animal is harmed in the process makes all the difference Ezra caning says he was with you between midnight and 1:00 o'clock this morning he was and if you want my alibi I was with him ley lines an ancient power grid in this case between the churches at long laden Barton holt and here at midsummer mo which ends in crow call circle well no it would make more sense if it dude the stones carry a power mr. Barnaby a spiritual charge you must have felt it well I'm happy to give it another go so what are we planning on doing since your last ditch attempt to stop Preston and failure direct action meaning occupy the site pick it his farm anything to stop him plowing the meadow anything don't be ridiculous murder it's unthinkable well somebody thought it somebody planned it then somebody did it one pound fifty pleasure oh sorry thank you we're folding money every favor we'll take disadvantaged kids on outings we will target a 500 quid or all my say Thank You mr. singer you're a witness sorry when Ezra canning threatened Alex Preston yes I was dead at the time you didn't really expect him to da bin did you we strapped Tavor knows a fact he's never bought around the Lee's on the Paris detective sergeant Jones Causton CID Corrado Jinga a few questions yes of course this Ralph what was said it was about customs intention to plow horse marrow boar was said cunning maintained into second official presidential and he was talking dribble caning said if you had a hearty group it out Oh something on the soil which is just what someone did on the blood stem that's what the locals call it's just a grave marker or what mr. singers an expert local history just obvious what do you know about the new don't druids harmless eccentrics so he says he was with her she said she was with him as a convenient they're logical if it's the truth well it is a nice song Ezra canning last night on the road to Alex prescence farm does the road lead nowhere else no well we'll take to the farm if that's where you going but he was not with Letitia Clifford what time is this about 11:30 there abouts thank you I'm doing the rounds have been some burglaries in the village just lately break-ins Jacob yeah he had a cat well the timings right Kate wild input Alex Preston's time of death between midnight and 1:00 so why go to the trouble of carting his body all the way to croak all served when gutting him well it makes a point doesn't he throw in the stones don't understand why yourself sorry PTA meeting and you late what do you know about druids Jared's RS website it's about credible circle are you heard leads came to the school bus this morning we took those six forum archaeology Lots up there a couple months ago they would have loved the dead body or to 25 minutes hmm your dinner [Applause] [Music] hmmm I know she's fed you already said don't give me that look [Music] Barbie I'm on my way called es Jones tell him to call me on the mobile [Music] [Music] Oh late [Music] this is detective Sutton Jones leave a message and I'll get back to you where are you Jones did you get my message I'm on my way stop whatever you're doing and call me [Music] [Music] I was in the pub mobile phone provider it's registered in kalanor Preston thorne so the most frequent recipient of calls someone named Aiden I was in the pub picking up gossip there was a folk rock band playing and I didn't hear my phone you called him Aiden whoever it went a voice to make an appointment call me at the club what club don't know yet we're checking all sorts of local clubs was Evan Jay go in the pub well since you asked no find out where he was Canada singer good old local history hmm and witnessed Ezra killings alleged threat against Alex Preston he's a good witness very clear I want to know what's happened to Ellen or Preston forensics have done their stuff a crow called farm let's make a thorough search House land everything take the place apart you think she's dead it's a clear possibility maybe I'll pay mr. singer a visit I did call you back during the band's cider break but you didn't answer I was chasing a hooded figure across ghost meadow at the time single-handedly [Applause] folk rock yeah you were more at risk than me they have features in almost all religious systems mr. Barnaby from east to west from pagan to orthodox it's trickster it's twinned with the moon which is familiar it's a fertility symbol and it appears heavily disguised as the Easter Bunny so a hare disemboweled in the same manner as Alex Preston and on the same spot is both sacrifice and warning I have said every drink it's a little early for me and one of the delights of retirement small Scotch before midday of course this talk of sacrifice blood stones all that's poppycock the local is lovely but there's no historical evidence to suggest that croak old circle was anything but a burial site if you want bloodshed the Battle of Hallows back was fought about two miles away anglo-saxon army up against the Norseman wholesale slaughter got some body parts all over the place mmm-hmm you've made a study I've become interested in local history I find it absorbing do you well you know this is yes the island a symbol of new dawned rivet ism if you could read medieval else you'd know what it means inspirational three bars of primal light they represent the supreme beings a difference of his own name to create the world also poppycock of course people need belief systems mr. Barlow gay Judaism is as good as any so you're an expert but not a believer expert no I have an interest [Applause] that's an excellent reproduction you say that because you know it can't be a genuine pegasi well actually it's an original but not a Picasso it's a Jack Weston famous faker of old masters Cubist's Impressionists even the odd Michelangelo odd isn't it how a forger can become collectible in his own right he was good Picasso was better [Music] in incidence yes Jones Causton CID and I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby you are Elinor Preston yes let's go inside you killed him there's an investigation in progress yeah well you want to try talking to the Druids Alex was planning on playing ghost meadow yes we know we've spoken to them you weren't the first person to one point the finger and and will speak to them again you say he was he was gutted so sick I have to ask you where you've been I'm sorry um no I'm staying with friends yeah we were having a bit of time off from one another well you might as well know Alex and I we were him we weren't getting on all that well you left your phone behind yeah the last recorded calls were to someone called Aidan yes hmm Aidan Hardy he's my fencing coach I called to cancel Emory Boca I had a few problems getting through listen um I don't think I can stay here sleep here I mean you know no of course a hotel in Causton perhaps let us know yes of course same goes for you sorry keep me informed by the surety was there friends saw Caden let's ask him but first I want to take another look at the crime scene there's something that puzzles me Ben I saw mrs. Preston Scotch as yesterday overtook me on the coastal road doing well over the limit what time was that about 8:00 did you see what's driving was a woman I mean other than there have you reported it paper one she was lying Travis saw a kind Causton last night [Applause] [Music] what's that [Music] Leticia Clifford that tempered druid broke all circle is off-limits miss Clifford you're contaminating a crime scene then so are you except the forensic evidence will have been gathered of course you are committing an offense I dare say take a look you see a ley line directly from long Bladen to here a line of mystical power the church spires lying up all right I can't see any flying saucers you're a skeptic mr. Barnaby like so many you see but you lack vision ley lines have nothing to do with UFOs and their pre-christian Preston put barbed wire on the gate into the meadow surely that's illegal I could sue take up your theodolite miss Clifford by the way do you recognize this it's the Arwen it's a symbol yes I know what it is I asked if you recognized it meaning is it yours no I don't approve of our symbols being manufactured as gift shop trinkets mr. Barnaby faith comes from within what does she say it was an r1 simple of druidical power the word means inspiration loosely translated from the medieval Welsh how do you know that paradox singer what I don't know is how the killer got Preston's body from the road to the circle it must have been strong enough to move it single-handedly unless there were two do you have any gloves forensics should have picked on them Leticia Clifford she cut herself she wasn't wearing blue heydon't we need to talk [Applause] I think I've found something rather interesting if it's not too late I'll come over I'm sorry Letitia I was asleep oh I'm so sorry yes fine [Music] [Music] something's been removed from here cause of death pretty straightforward multiple stab wounds ten at first counts any four of which could have been fatal overkill you might say so what was on the paper that's been removed what about that inflicted after death there's a definite taste for gore and all this who found her delivery man from the local grocers came in threw up passed out I made a mess of my crime scene he found at nine o'clock but I'd say she's been dead for a while 10 o'clock last night that druid thing again they are one perhaps of ley lines three churches krinkle circle there it is again speaks for itself blood stones druids go on Ezra cannon kills Alex Preston desecration of a holy site maybe it wasn't pre-planned maybe he went to the farm has to reason with him lost his temper attacked him one thing led to another Leticia found out or he told her she refused to be an accessory he killed her to keep her quiet exactly okay well we'd better have as recanting in for questioning if he's still in Midsomer month [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] as long as they take it sometime last night just watch the door in the back it's charity Bob you didn't hear anything like a line me it was now full that Bob what kind of heartless bastard regular for sure nobody thought of that Trevor like it at all now with a dog last night were you Jacob no watching TV I expect he's Vic on ahead they haven't done nothing Gibson you Altarpiece watching Ted I will not worry anymore about for that everyone knows the pocket air on the bloodstone Letitia Clifford done away with no secrets in this village remind me what was a long turn last night I think I'll do my drinking at a different pub [Music] [Applause] [Music] you all right yeah Evan Jagger I asked him where he was last night this charity boxes with me what with the hairline dead-on the bloodstone he's approached a sorcerer a thief I'm just putting two in turn you know [Music] told you 100 times if you don't come on guard properly you because anything else yes you're kicking the wrist [Music] got away No do it don't be stupid I said do it now they Levin I've got to embarrass no you got two choices a slap on the wrist for acting like a fool or a life sentence [Music] I'm warning you no never come on give it up give it up [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay you can't stay here forever you reckon you've been poaching half his life I think he knows how to live rough lunch what's wrong with you today this is about the ring Aidan what it is it's about the ring isn't it I gave it to you you give it back I get the message Ben that's why puncture and burglar murder in pursuit of a robbery that makes sense when it never the job just lives on air and what he can take over land when did you buy it Aidan that's what puzzles me yesterday after I told you that Alex had been murdered or did you have it up your sleeve for a while and thought oh she's been widowed for a day just the right time to propose come off it we've been lovers for ages your marriage was over long ago that doesn't make me indifferent to the fact that Alex was found in crow call circle with his intestines ripped out okay so my timing was off yeah yeah that's one way of putting it if it was all about the money why would I buy you such an expensive ring bait as far as I'm concerned you could shove it with a dolphin's don't Sparkle aidan Harley yes Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby Causton CID sorry this is a bad time just a couple of questions why would it be a bad time mrs. Preston she seemed um upset how can I help you mr. Barnaby how long have you been seeing mrs. Preston sorry fencing lessons a year or more I suppose and how is she coming along well she'd be better if she gave more time to it but she has aptitude there pretty deadly you could turn someone inside out with one of these do you fenced oh no not really um at university a little and were you any good well [Applause] sorry I assumed you knew how to defend [Applause] where were you last night mr. Harley why do you ask there was another murder in Midsomer MO it's sir part of her normal routine to check people's whereabouts just box-ticking this is connected to an express ins death it's too early to say though both victims were killed with some sort of blade I was with mrs. Preston who are the problem in summer mo having suffered we've become friends her lover you're having an affair on Yin it's not illegal no but it can lead to things that are [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] Oh stop 12 they're just cruising the lanes looking for Jago luckily a little one up the spout oh you're right yeah miss Preston the people you were staying with on the night that your husband was murdered I better have their names I don't want them dragged into this I know about you and Aiden Hardy he told you he didn't have to all right I was with Aiden I told you I told you what I told Alex where Hotel in London the Barclay Knights Ridge you can check yes I will yeah Barnaby oh yes thank you for calling back I believe you act for a mr. Alex Preston yeah We Need to Talk oh yeah I know okay I didn't see him yes you did he was trespassing he's a police officer oh come on I kill him for heaven's sake it's just someone commits a murder and immediately the Druids a suspect I was fed up with her I expect you've been harassing Letitia to what the tissue Clifford was murdered last night I assumed you knew it seems to be common knowledge in Midsomer MO I've been at the village started spraying it's a big job I'm sorry she called me last night said she had someone she wanted to show me it was late let's hear another time good acting bats I didn't think so he's still a prime suspect she was going to shot him so he killed her didn't want to but had to hence the tears he said he was in the six bells until after 11:00 offered Karadzic's singer as a witness Eleanor Preston and Aidan Hardy - Oh which reminds me were checking the hotel she gave you I knew they were at it you were right all works out well for me no she's a rich widow is she obviously she inherits does she I checked with Preston's solicitor Preston changed his will recently the new world disinherit her completely does she know according to the solicitor No so Alex Preston found out his wife was having an affair sergeant Gibson saw her car in Corsten on the night of Preston's murder any CCTV evidence for that night yeah okay keep on it and step up the search for Evan Jay go Barnaby John it's Kate hi Kate yes [Music] are you sure no doubt about it okay Thanks [Applause] [Music] mr. Barnaby does this make any sense to you ley line ma'am Letitia Clifford terrible business just here she's written battle of hallows Beck well that's wrong the Battle of Halley's back was fought had got two miles north of course meadow it's on the Midsomer mobile website you can look it up oh I did yet there's a mention of what was it um the sleeper under the hill oh yes yes the belief that the old Warriors will one day rise to avenge the slain Tennyson wrote a poem on the subject and the rest of it meaningless to me I love it no I I saw you on the TV I'm sorry that as I arrived you were watching oh no that wasn't I keep a visual diary it's part of my local history interest people think it's big events that make history mr. Barnaby big events and big people but it's not it's the way ordinary people live their lives I spend time in the Six Bells not with the company I go for the gossip gossip is the real history so you were on screen telling the story of midsummer mo when I die it'll be put into a time capsule for future generations to find another sleeper under the hill yeah since you put it that way what it delightful thought by sergeant Gibson Oh to keep you in the picture I just spoke to quranic' singer he confirmed seeing as recounting in the six bells last night but can't say what time he left which doesn't help us much hmm you're right however we have confirmed your sighting of Ezra canning on the road to croak Hall farm on the night of Preston's murder canning admitted it in interview right good oh and and we've got CCTV of Eleanor Preston's car in Corsten on the same night thanks to you just luck really right place right time secret of good policing [Music] [Applause] [Music] interviews with members of the new dawn druids all securely alibi the ones I met seem rather gentle types why does that surprise you well sacrifices to the earth gods sacrifices to the Sun God the Internet's a dangerous place to do research Jones any side on the CCTV of Ellen Preston's car I've had four officers working shift staring at a screen for two days but CCTV is not foolproof no but it does lend weight to a certain line of investigation Trevor Gibson gave us the first lead the almond broach so a stone circle a man dead a druid symbol then he mentioned having seen as reconning on the road to crow call farm and said he'd spotted Elinor Preston's car in Causton that night where's this going he also as good as accused Evan Jago of having laid the hair on the bloodstone oh come on very subtly but quite deliberately he has been manipulating the investigation he found the brooch or he planted it he saw cannon cannon denies it he saw mrs. Preston's car there's no CCTV evidence for that he is something else he discharged a shotgun at Ezra canning it to stop him running me down perhaps but suppose that he'd actually been aiming to kill the fact that cannon was chasing you in the crop sprayer might have been interpreted as an admission of guilt and Cannings death as a neat end to the investigation I can't believe you're saying this Trevor Gibson is a good cop I'm known in four years how well have you known him well this is there is no evidence to suggest he planted the brooch of course caning denies being near the farm CCTV is unreliable and maybe Jago did leave the hair as for the crop spraying incident it may have escaped your notice but he saved my life I saw a Gibson today I told him that canning had confessed to being close to crow call farm on the night of Preston's murder and that we had Elna Preston's car on CCTV he knew perfectly well it couldn't be true yeah how do you know his reaction oh I had a call earlier from Kate Wilding the blood beneath the broken window at Croke old farm it came up on the police database it's Gibbs nurse she triple checked we'll be off duty now yes yeah I'll uh I'm gonna talk to him no we'll take this one together and Jones my lead okay sir I'd like to be the one I lead ladies asleep maybe he's not meaning he's gone oh he's at the pub I don't think so we can try when was the last time we had rain a week ago more [Music] make sure he drowned I mean he was probably alive when he was put in the water must have been unconscious though impossible to wrestle the moment to that if it was not only alive but also kicking how long's he been dead that's difficult to be accurate with drowning but two hours maybe less one of our own he was one of our own not a suspect a victim we need to find out from Jago he threatened to kill Trevor and he meant it yes okay now get on to it [Music] okay I lead an analysis of this [Music] [Applause] type of cloth no problem origin may take a little longer I want to take a guess know how much his guess and then they apologize afterwards explain the blood on the farmhouse window he could have explained it given the chance any sign of Evan Jago to search teams an APB issued muscles so far yes Jones oh thanks for getting back are you sure about that 7:30 could you send a copy of the bill to Causton police station mark for my attention Thanks that was a manager of the Berkeley hotel Eleanor and Aidan booked him for three nights but only stayed for two so on the night of Alex Preston's death they checked out at 7:30 more than enough time where are those whatever they are they don't belong Eleanor Preston and Aiden Hardy yes they had time enough yes all right we checked out early so you lied yes why isn't it obvious you didn't want to reveal your relationship with mr. Hardy see it is obvious or you didn't want to reveal that you've given yourself more than enough time to go to crow call farmer murder your husband why would we have checked out surely we'd have just driven to midsummer mo killed Alex driven back to Berkeley gone to bed and left the next morning people make mistakes that's how they get caught out why did you check out I ran into some friends on their way to the restaurant I made up an excuse about a work meeting Aidan took the cases to the car I of course paid the bill where did you go Aidan's house in Long Barton it's risky cuz he's got the nosy neighbors we parked a couple of streets away Lao the road I didn't kill my husband you cheated on him it's not quite the same thing look it wasn't a good marriage I probably should have left him I was unfaithful to him yes but we lived largely separate lives I felt entitled do you also feel entitled to the farm and the bank balance it's you asked yes we might want to talk to you again yeah well you have my number croco farm is no longer a crime scene by the way you don't have to stay here I know but I can afford it say crow call is my past you don't intend to run the farm as a going concern going yes I said going going go check with the nosy neighbors and for any sighting of a Mercedes convertible parked a couple of streets away we have told that Preston changed as well I think we'll keep that for another time can't wait [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so I was right prior to death he suffered a blow to the head here and the back of the cranium enough to stun him he would have only have lost consciousness for a few minutes except for the fact that he was then submerged in the water but except for that yes what's that an incision two days old baby glass coat could be and the scraps we found in the stove it'll take time John oh the search team found papers they were in his desk they're over there like the ones found by Tiffany not like them they are the papers that she was working on when she was killed took them before he left she looks that way how do you know that these papers were at the scene they've got her blood on them [Music] another ley line why they meet Keystone [Music] found in Gibson's house they were among the papers that Letitia Clifford was working on when she was killed oh and there's more he had a cut on his left wrist the broken window at Croke Hall farm hmm dirt and then a Preston's car in Lao the road two streets away from where Aidan Hardy lives which is what she said 9:30 that's when they parked about right for the drive from London they come out at 7:50 a.m. [Music] [Music] good morning I didn't expect the senior detective to be on the case sorry burglary I called the station Butler ago someone broke in last night took a bottle of brandy and a few things from the fridge well I'm sure someone will be able to take details but it's not me I'm afraid any damage done back door was forced but from that now so why are you here oh I need some help some advice just a sec you know more about the stones in their history than anyone else the sketches that Letitia Clifford made I'm sure they're crucial in somewhere I just can't figure out how or why that's why I thought a bit of practical fieldwork might be the answer it was Alfred Watkins who developed the theory of ley lines he put it down too early man finding the quickest route between two points nothing more to it to suggest they have mystical power is woful druids believe it my point exactly this one for example it appears to follow a course but that takes it outside the stone circling the theodolite confirms it see it actually passes through a point over there where Letitia Clifford wrote King stone on her map but other reference points might footage someone else entirely I'm sorry I don't see the point Letitia was a druid cults need their rituals and beliefs yet what intrigues me is why she went to such lengths so what was she after fanatics a tireless mr. Barnaby it's part of their charisma by the way what do you make of this [Music] may I had it's a sword pun did you date it I'm no expert where did it come from Oh some Ramblers crossing the meadow which might suggest that Battle of Hallows vet was for closer to here than previously thought nah I doubt it it's not my theory I showed that to the costed Archaeological Society they got very excited about it they're planning on opening a dig on the side Oh where exactly um just up there I should think and when do they start pretty soon Eleanor Preston's given her permission [Music] fascinating stuff bore for your visual diary [Music] Jones super [ __ ] I thought we were to go and give a permission soon a bit is that what we were just a cliche oh sure be with a sad barrage you with a bank account so now you're free I'm rich and I'm not needed darling you were never needed our affair was a distraction you were good in bed I think we can both say I paid my way you [ __ ] but what do you want another loan and I say loan but we both know I mean gift don't we okay you're gonna stay here you're going to talk this through yeah love it Aidan kill me sooner than let me go actual bodily harm textbook case self defense if you were kids tell me I can't leave you better charge me with something no there's no question but I know you didn't kill your husband CCTV evidence puts you exactly where you said you were you're free to go whenever and wherever you like you've had what you're having from me just like your husband feels the same way about you he changed his will apparently he has a brother in New Zealand who inherits everything house land cash you've seen the will oh the reference to you is some it's very specific to my wife Eleanor liar and cheat I leave nothing I would leave her less if I could I shall contest it I'm sure you will and I'm just as sure it'll make no difference [Music] [Music] darling can you make a salad yeah lettuce tomato fennel salad stir no problem good day remains to be seen I had two sets of angry parents while not pushy the other lot not pushy enough I heard a bend copper now a dead copper and the end of an affair and leylines crook also yes I'm taking the six for nuts up there to help out at the dig what is fennel look like greenish [Music] so chop it all up them John it's a salad yeah what time's dinner by the way well I just put a four pound chicken in the oven at 180 so you can work out for yourself why do you want to know oh because I've got to go out again when about now Oh Barnaby he said to call you sir he's on the move perfect sorry [Music] I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defense if you fail to mention when questioned something you later rely on in court [Music] somewhere off this road that's what at this house that meets the Emily where is the Brock singer where's what when I saw you watching yourself on TV that was filmed in another room never mind behind that Jones Jones light [Music] Picasso Dali Giacometti Stutz Klimt just the ones I know must be worth millions local gossip says he was penniless lived like a miser well that was his cover no I should think that he's got a substantial number of offshore accounts [Music] you are about to enjoy a tour of one of the world's great art cultures my name is Corrado Singh by the time this is being viewed I shall have died but my fame has been one of the world's great collectors we live on it wasn't about appreciation it was about ownership am i right it was about appreciation meaning only you could properly appreciate the ghost meadow treasure it was the ultimate collectible Alex Preston brought me the first few items I knew it was the find of the century and I had to have it you turned up a snake amulet brooch you didn't know what he'd got that he thought I'd might and I did I bet to make you a better posture so the bracelet for whatever you find and guests it is treasure trove no this was pledged to service who knows what's due to that trotty sure there are laws they need to know our staff but Preston proved annoyingly honest he wanted to report his find and take whatever might be his legal share he went to Trevor Gibson to find out about the legal position on my ownership Gibson told him to keep quiet about it but Preston mentioned that he had already shown his find to you Gibson told me he consulted some experts who said the item little interest please I'm not super minded I knew what he was up to was his chance of the good life the Gibson telling he was going to kill Preston he hinted I encouraged which is why Gibson pretended to have found an r1 brooch at the scene I gave it to him you have to die this will have incriminating evidence easy to manipulate someone that needy Preston had to die he was about to reveal the location of the hoard to the world I'm taking the body to crow call circle disembowelling him whose idea was that again I might have hinted because people tend to associate druids with all sorts of nasty rituals and it was common knowledge that they and Preston were at loggerheads something's wrong a little clifford the ley line through the churches seems to bypass the circle perhaps he passes to the spot where the Kingston understood he was getting too near the truth and she was right about the Battle of Hallows bec being fought much closer to gorse meadow wasn't she it was fought in gorsh meadow after the battle was over the victorious Saxons buried the horde and used the king stone as a marker he'll killed Leticia no Gibson policeman seemed quite a bit you ated to Virant death but it was your idea a hint well take and Colleen er one into her forehead would make Ezra canning an obvious suspect the Arwen embroidery in both senses of the word so was it Gibson's idea to provoke Jago in the Six Bells no I yes Jago was our world card and as luck would have it he found a body Gibson put the gutted hair on the bloodstone Gibson knew you were on to him he made the mistake all amateur lies make he overcompensated when you told him that you'd confirm those fake sightings he knew it's just a matter of time he called me he said he was gonna make a run for it you couldn't bring yourself to bludgeon him to death very thought didn't my stomach but it was a drug that had to be done [Music] Gibson tell you that he kept this no but when you said it had been found by Ramblers and that the Archaeological Society about or denied egg yes that was very clever of you tell me what made you suspect me what did I do wrong you didn't need to display the stolen pieces it was enough for you just to own you couldn't resist the idea of having just one of them out to look at stood alone over the Picasso no I asked you if it was a copy you said it was a faker but a Jack Western a collectable fake you just couldn't bear the idea of letting me think that you might possess something as crude as a copy it didn't look like a fake to me I checked Jack Weston never copied a Picasso well well my collection be housed it'll be cataloged by the art squad then everything will be returned to its rightful owners i under rightful owner not a chance these pieces must be kept together no one could love them a factor love and possession aren't the same thing didn't anyone ever tell you that it must be shown it must be displayed for the world to see it'll just be a little paragraph at the bottom of page 5 the story of a common criminal the Picasso was a mistake but your biggest error was something you couldn't avoid something that makes you the person you are something the gods always punish you want this to be your enduring legacy this will only be seeing as prosecution exhibit number one then never to be seen or exhibited again [Music] what was it the thing that God saw was punished hubris Jones arrogance paradox is directly responsible for three deaths which couldn't matter less to him and his so-called love of art is really nothing but self-love which never ends well he'll be solid gold look solid gold it's part of a saxon all that blame here for a thousand years it's a cloak brooch it's beautiful isn't it worth how much half a million easily maybe mom not much really come on John [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music]
