00:00:19Oh, Marnie, where are the eye masks?
00:00:21I asked for one on every bed and fresh candles and the lanterns, please.
00:00:25I'll go do that right now.
00:00:26I need to know you're on top of this, Marnie.
00:00:28Our guests are all influencers.
00:00:30Anything less than perfect will be all over social media.
00:00:33Yeah, but we have a little time before the guests are right.
00:00:35It's all right.
00:00:35It's all right.
00:00:40Where's that music coming from?
00:00:42Where do you think?
00:00:43What are you going to do?
00:00:46Dan, no.
00:00:47We agreed not till after the weekend.
00:00:49We've got to keep the village on side.
00:00:51No.
00:00:52This ends now.
00:01:15Then I'm going to take you over to the station.
00:01:16Let's go.
00:01:18Let's go.
00:01:21Let's go.
00:01:26Then I'm going to take you over to the spinning wheel where, drum roll please, you get a chance
00:01:32to win a special prize.
00:01:34Right.
00:01:35So, we bend at the elbow, lean back and release.
00:01:40Turn that music off now.
00:01:43Sorry about this, lads.
00:01:45I won't be a minute.
00:01:46Ridiculous.
00:01:47Ridiculous.
00:01:48How many times?
00:01:49What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:01:50Our first guests are about to arrive for a weekend of peace and serenity and you're having
00:01:55a rave.
00:01:55And?
00:01:56I've got a coachload of stags, expected party vibe.
00:01:58Our business has got just as much right to exist as yours.
00:02:01No, not for much longer.
00:02:02This should clarify things for you.
00:02:06We've been over this.
00:02:07Basil Delaney agreed to sell us this site before he died.
00:02:09No, no, no.
00:02:09The only contract our lawyers found was your tenancy agreement, which we're terminating.
00:02:14Well, look again.
00:02:16We agreed a price.
00:02:17I signed the contract.
00:02:18On the back of a fag packet, was it?
00:02:20No, there's been a mistake.
00:02:21I am calling your lawyers.
00:02:22No, there's no mistake.
00:02:23You've got three months to get out.
00:02:25And just so you know, if that music goes back on, I will personally put you on that wheel
00:02:29and use you for target practice.
00:02:39I started to panic.
00:02:40What happened?
00:02:42The notice to quit came as a shock, to say the least.
00:02:44The village hate is an office, it is.
00:02:46This is just going to make things worse.
00:02:48We don't owe the village anything.
00:02:49Dan, Eden Valley Retreat is supposed to be a place of joy and light, yeah?
00:02:55I mean, all he ever brought was darkness.
00:02:57I just feel like he's still here, tainting everything with his negative energy.
00:03:05Take it down, when you're done.
00:03:06With pleasure.
00:03:08The first guests have just pulled up.
00:03:10Oh, God.
00:03:11Then let's go and greet them.
00:03:14Can you quickly just check the room allocation list, please?
00:03:17Yeah, looks good to me.
00:03:18Thanks, Marnie.
00:03:35And that's exactly how I feel.
00:03:38I'm in pink condition, physically and mentally.
00:03:40I've got decades left in me yet.
00:03:42I'm in constant awe of your incredible energy.
00:03:46How do you do it?
00:03:47Strict daily practice.
00:03:48I rise at five to greet the dawn with a sun salutation.
00:03:51Which is what exactly?
00:03:53A series of yoga poses that warms the body and calms the mind.
00:03:59Stress, negativity and anxiety melt away and I feel 18 again.
00:04:03I'm not sure I'd want to be 18 again.
00:04:07I had a lover and carer there once.
00:04:09A yoga guru who said I was the most flexible woman he'd ever met.
00:04:13With the stamina of a wildebeest.
00:04:18Our tantric sessions could last 20 days.
00:04:22What does that mean, Dad?
00:04:24Oh, more cake.
00:04:25Anyone? More cake?
00:04:27Now, this is your last pint, Jake.
00:04:30I don't want Vera complaining I got you drunk again.
00:04:34You in.
00:04:35Oh, usual.
00:04:38I'm not here to drink.
00:04:39Okay.
00:04:45So what's going on?
00:04:46We're getting thrown out of the stable block.
00:04:48After everything we've invested in that business.
00:04:50Oh, no, they can't do that.
00:04:52You've got a contract.
00:04:53Turns out it wasn't worth the paper we've written on.
00:05:06Chris should never have trusted that Basil Delaney after what he did.
00:05:10I thought he was just trying to make amends.
00:05:11Oh, yeah.
00:05:12Like that man had a conscience.
00:05:13What's the matter now, Mal?
00:05:15We're finished.
00:05:16No.
00:05:17They are.
00:05:19What they've done to us is sacrilege.
00:05:21Shutting us out.
00:05:23Desecrating our sacred ground with their trucks.
00:05:26And your father would have stood up to them.
00:05:28And so shall we.
00:05:30Eden is going to seem more like hell when we're done with it.
00:05:34Did you say Eden?
00:05:37Eden Valley Retreat?
00:05:39That's where I'm supposed to be, but the taxi dropped me here.
00:05:44I'd turn back while you still got the chance.
00:05:48I don't understand.
00:05:50Bad things happen in Eden.
00:05:52Didn't you read your Bible?
00:05:54No.
00:05:55No.
00:05:56So you won't help me?
00:06:01Any of you?
00:06:08Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:25You look like you could do with a lift.
00:06:27Oh, Seth.
00:06:29Hey, thank God.
00:06:31I was lucky to get out of there alive.
00:06:33Yeah, I sense negative energy the moment I entered the village.
00:06:36And the feelings just got stronger.
00:06:38Strap in, baby.
00:06:40It's going to be a bumpy ride.
00:06:43Right, look.
00:06:44I'll close early.
00:06:46You gather the others.
00:06:48What do I tell Mum?
00:06:49The less she knows, the better.
00:07:01I mean, yeah, there's the whole big blue pill thing, but I think there should be an orange.
00:07:05Oh, well, okay.
00:07:06Oh, Dan, Dan.
00:07:08This is Poppy Anwell, self-care and personal growth influencer.
00:07:12Welcome to Eden Valley Retreat.
00:07:14I'm Seth Baden, free-thinking, meditation influencer with his own channel.
00:07:18It's great to have you here.
00:07:19You might regret saying that.
00:07:21Oh, Seth has the power to see things that we can't through deep meditation.
00:07:24Impressive.
00:07:26Do you know, I didn't know you two knew each other.
00:07:28Oh, only from influencer events, but when I saw Poppy stranded outside your local hostelry,
00:07:33I took pity on her.
00:07:34And the minute I mentioned Eden, the whole pub turned on me.
00:07:38It was horrible.
00:07:39What have you done to them?
00:07:41The locals are set in their ways, don't like change, but we'll win them over.
00:07:46Okay, and this is, um, please, this is Marnie, our wellness therapist and invaluable assistant.
00:07:51She's going to be checking you in and showing you two rooms.
00:07:53Yes, and if you'd like to book a treatment, we have all of these on offer.
00:07:57And there's a welcome supper in the dining room at 6pm, followed by a forest bathing session in the Glade.
00:08:03And this weekend is a digital detox.
00:08:06I'll be asking you to hand over all your devices.
00:08:07You might as well shoot me now.
00:08:09Oh, excuse me.
00:08:10Hello.
00:08:11I love a light.
00:08:13Yeah.
00:08:22Oh, my God.
00:08:47Oh, my God.
00:09:30I saw you from the window.
00:09:32Is everything okay, sir?
00:09:36What is it?
00:09:38You look terrified.
00:09:40Someone was murdered in this place.
00:09:43And it's going to happen again.
00:10:09Oh, my God.
00:10:43Thank you for all the birthday, love. I feel very spoiled.
00:10:47You know you're welcome to stay for dinner.
00:10:48Jamie's treating us to a takeaway.
00:10:50Oh, very kind.
00:10:51But I'm meeting my salsa dancing chums in a Cuban club in Causton.
00:10:55And they really know how to party.
00:10:58Hasta la hueco, amigos.
00:11:05That woman is a human tornado.
00:11:08Well, maybe we should all be a bit more Fleur.
00:11:11I mean, she certainly makes the most of every minute of every day.
00:11:13And every night.
00:11:15There's nothing stopping us doing the same.
00:11:18What would you change, Jamie?
00:11:19Um, I think I'd get out of the gym and into the countryside more.
00:11:23Maybe try some wild swimming.
00:11:25I'd ring-fenced some time just for me.
00:11:27Spa days, walking, cycling.
00:11:29I'd give anything for eight hours on broken sleep.
00:11:31Maybe try fresh air and exercise over a beer on the sofa once in a while.
00:11:37I'll certainly bear that in mind.
00:11:41Welcome, everyone, to your first Eden experience.
00:11:46A gentle introduction into forest bathing.
00:11:50This will be a slow sensory immersion in nature
00:11:54to help you consciously connect to your surroundings.
00:11:59So, if you'd like to close your eyes
00:12:01and start by taking some slow, deep breaths.
00:12:08And notice the air that you breathe is shared with all the trees
00:12:12in this magical space.
00:12:16Breathe in.
00:12:18And out.
00:12:21Breathe in.
00:12:22Hello?
00:12:23Oh, hey.
00:12:26I had nowhere else to go.
00:12:27Colette, I'm sorry, Raven.
00:12:30You need to get her out of here.
00:12:31Come here. Come on.
00:12:32Come with me. It's okay.
00:12:33It's okay.
00:12:39Let's close our eyes and refocus on our breathing.
00:12:46And notice how the air feels as it enters your body.
00:12:54Notice how you're...
00:13:04And now let's give thanks to the forest
00:13:08for sharing its energy with us.
00:13:15Right time, gents.
00:13:17I'm afraid I'm closing early due to unforeseen circumstances.
00:13:22I need a room for the night.
00:13:24Sorry.
00:13:25Not convenience.
00:13:27I'll pay cash.
00:13:29Up front.
00:13:32Double your normal rate.
00:13:34If it's a triple, I might consider it.
00:13:36Done.
00:13:40Right.
00:13:41Okay.
00:13:42Just, uh, fill in this form.
00:13:45No, no personal details.
00:13:48Are you in some kind of trouble?
00:13:51I'll need a key.
00:13:54Take it or leave it.
00:13:56Right.
00:13:57I'll, uh, show you to your room.
00:14:01Follow me.
00:14:05Come on.
00:14:06I'll breathe.
00:14:07Okay.
00:14:08Just, uh, grab a seat.
00:14:10All right.
00:14:11Sit down.
00:14:13Are you on anything?
00:14:14No.
00:14:15I need to know, Colette.
00:14:17I swear.
00:14:20It's my boyfriend.
00:14:21He's, uh, he threatened to kill me.
00:14:23Oh.
00:14:24Why do I keep going for the same gaslighting psychopath every single time?
00:14:30I, um, I need your help, Raven.
00:14:34Listen to me.
00:14:36Your body is in flight response.
00:14:38And you're experiencing chronic anxiety and stress.
00:14:42And right now, you need total peace and quiet.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:49Now I can help you find it.
00:14:52But not here.
00:15:19Oh, this is beautiful, Ray.
00:15:22Reminds me of the forest in Ecuador when we did ayahuasca.
00:15:27You went completely crazy.
00:15:29Thought the shaman was a devil.
00:15:31Tried to kill him.
00:15:32That was, that was wild.
00:15:34Yeah, well, that's, um, that's not me anymore.
00:15:36Dan doesn't know about any of it, so.
00:15:39Okay, you can trust me.
00:15:40My lips are sealed.
00:15:42What are we doing here, anyway?
00:15:44Oh, you need to address your trauma.
00:15:47And the forest has an incredible power to heal.
00:15:51The trees release phytoncides into the air, which are known to lower cortisol levels, reduce stress, boost mood.
00:15:59It's cool.
00:16:00I always come to the cabin when I'm feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
00:16:07The glazed roof allows you to lie in bed, staring at the stars with zero light pollution.
00:16:14And earthly concerns, they just slip away.
00:16:17And you allow yourself to reconnect with the universe.
00:16:25But first, I recommend an ice bath to reset your breathing and engage your natural resilience.
00:16:31I'll stay with you, and I'll take you through a guided meditation.
00:16:35Honestly, I'm feeling so much more relaxed already, and you should get back to eat, yes?
00:16:39You sure?
00:16:39Mm-hmm.
00:16:40Right.
00:16:41But there is, um, one other reason why I came.
00:16:47Someone's been asking questions.
00:16:49You know, about us.
00:16:52Right.
00:16:54Well, you need to rest and, er, talk about it in the morning.
00:16:59Okay.
00:17:00Okay.
00:17:23Okay.
00:17:33I'm sorry.
00:17:33Bye.
00:17:39Bye.
00:17:40Bye.
00:17:48I don't know.
00:18:21I don't know.
00:18:42You have got to stop calling me.
00:18:44I've told you.
00:18:45I'm not going to change my mind.
00:18:47Marnie, have you seen Seth Bladen?
00:18:49Uh, no.
00:18:50Sorry.
00:18:50And we need more cacao in the studio.
00:18:52Once you've done that, you can go home.
00:18:53Okay.
00:18:54Thanks, Dan.
00:18:54Okay.
00:18:59Mother Jesus.
00:19:02Mother Jesus.
00:19:06Mother Jesus.
00:19:09Mother Jesus.
00:19:13Ancient watcher of this grove, we stand here in reverence to thy mighty presence.
00:19:20I pledge a vow, a sacred vow, that never again shall we be torn asunder by any man.
00:19:34Mother Jesus.
00:19:36Mother Jesus.
00:19:39Mother Jesus.
00:19:41Mother Jesus.
00:19:43Mother Jesus.
00:19:44Mother Jesus.
00:19:45Mother Jesus.
00:19:46Mother Jesus.
00:19:47Mother Jesus.
00:19:48Mother Jesus.
00:19:48Mother Jesus.
00:19:49Mother Jesus.
00:19:50Mother Jesus.
00:19:52Mother Jesus.
00:20:08Oh, my God.
00:20:24Eden Valley Retreat, where nature is our medicine.
00:20:27Yeah, I'll stick to paracetamol, sir.
00:20:29Oh, willow bark was the precursor to aspirin.
00:20:33We can't afford to dismiss the healing power of nature, Winter.
00:20:36Didn't take you as new age, sir.
00:20:38Well, I may wear a suit, but I've always been open to alternative ways of thinking.
00:20:42What, like Fleur?
00:20:44I wouldn't go that far.
00:20:45You know, I think she's onto something this morning.
00:20:47I swapped out of the gym for a 5K mindful walk in the woods, and I feel amazing.
00:20:51Oh, I did mindful getting Betty out of bed in time for her dance class, and I need a lie
00:20:56down.
00:20:57What exactly is Eden Valley?
00:20:59It's a high-end retreat for the very rich, owned by skincare guru Raven Delaney.
00:21:04She's sold her botanicals brand for millions and got into wellness.
00:21:08This weekend was supposed to be a soft opener for influencer guests only.
00:21:13Where are they now?
00:21:14Up at the main house.
00:21:15I asked Uniform to make sure they stayed there.
00:21:17So what's the story?
00:21:19First officers on the scene queried the death as unnatural.
00:21:24Fleur suspected foul plays.
00:21:26Called us in.
00:21:27So, it seems like there's trouble in paradise.
00:21:54The police are everywhere.
00:21:56What's going on?
00:21:56Poppy, are you okay?
00:21:58I've got heard voices.
00:22:00Must have been outside.
00:22:02I'm just about to have a shower.
00:22:04I'll catch you later.
00:22:18How exactly did she die?
00:22:21Asphyxiation, but not from drowning.
00:22:24A livid groove across the victim's neck suggests that something was held against her throat to cut up her airway
00:22:32before she was submerged.
00:22:33Any idea what the killer used?
00:22:36Doesn't look like a ligature mark.
00:22:38I'd say it was something hard.
00:22:40A metal bar or something.
00:22:42Time of death?
00:22:44That's harder to gauge because of her exposure to cold water.
00:22:47I'll have a better idea once I've got her back to the lab.
00:22:53Ask Uniform to search the area for a possible murder weapon.
00:22:57Sir.
00:23:05I understand you found her, Ms. Delorney.
00:23:08Can you tell me exactly what happened?
00:23:11I, um, I came to see how she was.
00:23:15And I found her in the bath.
00:23:17I knew with the dangers of cold water, I should never have left her on her own.
00:23:21You mustn't blame yourself, Raven.
00:23:23She was so vulnerable, Dan.
00:23:24It's my fault, it's my fault that she's drowned.
00:23:27Oh, she didn't drown, Ms. Delorney.
00:23:29That's why we're here.
00:23:30She was murdered.
00:23:32What was the nature of your relationship, Ms. Granville?
00:23:36Well, we met her students and we were close for a while.
00:23:40But then I hadn't seen her for a few years.
00:23:44And now I'm never going to see her again.
00:23:46I just...
00:23:47Dan.
00:23:49You can see she's traumatized.
00:23:51Can't just wait.
00:23:53For now.
00:23:54But there will be more questions later.
00:23:57And we'll need to talk to everyone who was here last night.
00:24:10You said it was a tragic accident.
00:24:13That's what we assumed.
00:24:14But the police have asked that no one leave the property.
00:24:17So, we're all suspects?
00:24:19They would like to interview everyone that was here.
00:24:21That's all I know.
00:24:22Well, where's Raven?
00:24:23She's taking time to process things.
00:24:25Colette was a dear friend of hers and it all comes to terrible shock.
00:24:29Excuse me.
00:24:31You said something dreadful was going to happen last night.
00:24:33And you were right.
00:24:34And that darkness that overwhelmed me is still here.
00:24:39I'm just a bit confused.
00:24:41When Ms. Granville arrived, I allocated her the beach room?
00:24:44Not the dark sky cabin.
00:24:46Is there a problem?
00:24:48No, it's just someone's altered it on the system after she died.
00:24:52Which the police don't need to know about.
00:24:55It's not relevant to what happened and it could lead to some awkward questions.
00:24:59So, if anyone asks, I brought the guests back from the forest bathing session and I didn't leave the house
00:25:05again.
00:25:06Look, you did.
00:25:07I saw you.
00:25:08Our investors are going to need reassurance, okay?
00:25:11Which means protecting the Eden brand without any unnecessary distractions.
00:25:17I hope we can rely on your total loyalty money.
00:25:22Yes, of course.
00:25:23Well, for the guests' free drinks, treatments, anything they want, we need to keep them on side.
00:25:52I'm sorry to push you, but we need to find whoever did this.
00:25:55I guess your statement could help us do that.
00:25:58What exactly happened when Ms. Granville arrived?
00:26:02Um, she seemed very upset, so I brought her in here and then I took her over to the dark
00:26:07sky cabin.
00:26:08What time was that?
00:26:09About, I don't know, 8.30?
00:26:12Then I left there and came back here approximately 15 minutes later.
00:26:16Why was she staying so far away from the house?
00:26:18Well, she needed to de-stress and the cabin's been designed as a calming space.
00:26:23Do you know why she was so agitated?
00:26:26Yeah, I've collected.
00:26:28She was...
00:26:29She was troubled.
00:26:31An addict, a history of toxic relationships with men.
00:26:36She did say, though, that someone had threatened to kill her.
00:26:40Did she give a name?
00:26:41No.
00:26:42No, I'm afraid not.
00:26:45Anything else?
00:26:47Yeah.
00:26:48Yeah, she said someone was asking questions about me, our friendship.
00:26:52But, you know, I just, I didn't want to get into it with her last night.
00:26:55I thought it would fuel her anxiety and Colette could be so unreliable.
00:27:02Do you have Ms. Granville's phone?
00:27:04No, it was a digital detox.
00:27:06When I asked her to hand it over, she said she didn't have one with her.
00:27:10What about her number?
00:27:12Uh, yeah.
00:27:13You have it somewhere.
00:27:15I'm not sure it's the current one.
00:27:22As I said, we'd lost touch.
00:27:29Well, that's all for now, Ms. Deloney.
00:27:36We've got this number tracked now.
00:27:38We need to find that phone.
00:27:39We need to find that phone.
00:28:10Not that new to miss breakfast.
00:28:12We've got that team building session booked in.
00:28:14They want to do laser tag, paintballing and an ax sign.
00:28:17There's a lot to set up.
00:28:18You see that?
00:28:19You've been poaching again.
00:28:21You promised me.
00:28:22I've kept that promise.
00:28:23Well, where'd you get that?
00:28:24Broke a glass.
00:28:25You left home at six.
00:28:27You didn't get back until one.
00:28:29Where were you, Ewan?
00:28:31It's probably the best you don't know, Mum.
00:28:34If anyone asks, I was at home.
00:28:36With you.
00:28:38I won't ask any more questions, but the police might.
00:28:42You need to get your story straight.
00:28:44Whatever that story is, I'll back you.
00:28:47All the way.
00:28:48You know that.
00:28:55And after the forest bathing session?
00:28:58I walked the guests back to the house.
00:29:01What time is that?
00:29:03It's about 8.45.
00:29:06Raven joined us about 9.
00:29:08And all the other guests are accounted for?
00:29:10All apart from Seth Blayden.
00:29:12He, um, disappeared at the end of the session and came back when we were serving cacao in here.
00:29:18What time is that?
00:29:19It's about 9.
00:29:209, but, um, as far as I remember, no one left the building after that.
00:29:24Any way of verifying that?
00:29:26Well, our target clientele demand complete privacy.
00:29:30So there are no surveillance cameras on site.
00:29:34How convenient for our killer.
00:29:37I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
00:29:51No CCTV, no phones.
00:29:53We'll just have to rely on good old-fashioned policing.
00:29:55So far, it seems Ms. Delorney and Mr. Usher's accounts tally up.
00:29:59Well, that's what they'd like us to believe.
00:30:04I sensed your imminent arrival.
00:30:07Do, come in.
00:30:14You have a cool, blue energy, Detective Chief Inspector.
00:30:20Clearly a man of knowledge, accuracy, reflection and analysis.
00:30:25I take that, sir.
00:30:29Yeah, we understand you left the main group last night, Mr. Blayden.
00:30:33Can you tell us why?
00:30:34I was drawn by dark energy.
00:30:36Felt compelled to follow its call.
00:30:39I'm not sure I understand.
00:30:41Because you're a detective who views the world with skepticism, seeking the truth through evidence, proof and hard facts.
00:30:48And you?
00:30:49I'm a master meditator whose mind is attuned to subtle energies not available to the five senses.
00:30:56This allows me to see colors and lights invisible to others.
00:31:01The first time I felt dark energy was in the village.
00:31:07What happened?
00:31:08I was driving past the pub when I saw Poppy.
00:31:11She looked really shaken, so I stopped the car.
00:31:14She had asked for directions to Eden, but the locals were extremely hostile.
00:31:21Why?
00:31:22You'll have to ask her that.
00:31:25And where did this dark energy lead you last night?
00:31:28Deep into the woods, to a place I'd seen before.
00:31:33I believe it's called the Sacred Grove.
00:31:36When was this?
00:31:38In a vision.
00:31:39I knew something terrible had happened in that place.
00:31:43Many years ago, an act of extreme violence.
00:31:48I sensed it was going to happen again.
00:31:51And I was right.
00:31:54But I appreciate that would be hard to prove in court.
00:32:00You were in the grounds around the time of the murder.
00:32:03Did you see or hear anything that seemed unusual?
00:32:06I thought I heard someone in the trees.
00:32:09What time is this?
00:32:10Around nine.
00:32:11I called out, but no one answered.
00:32:34You have reached the voicemail messaging service.
00:32:37Uh, seven, seven, uh.
00:32:45Please leave your message after the turn.
00:32:48I, uh, um, it's me.
00:32:51We need to talk about last night.
00:33:02The landlord said something about turning Eden into hell.
00:33:06Like there was some sort of plan.
00:33:09Going back to the events of last night,
00:33:11did you notice anything that seemed strange?
00:33:14After they'd served the cacao, I came back here.
00:33:17When I went to close the curtains,
00:33:18I noticed someone outside.
00:33:20A hooded figure.
00:33:22Like just... there.
00:33:26What exactly were they wearing?
00:33:28A rain jacket? A hoodie?
00:33:29No, it was a long, dark cloak.
00:33:33Like a monk's.
00:33:35Did you see their face?
00:33:36No.
00:33:37Sorry.
00:33:39Anything else that might distinguish them?
00:33:42Uh, yellow boots.
00:33:44That's the only thing I can think of.
00:33:52I stayed at the house whilst the guests were in the forest.
00:33:55Dan and Raven asked me to help serve out the cacao
00:33:58and then I walked home.
00:33:59What time is this?
00:34:01Around ten past nine.
00:34:02And after the session everyone except Mr. Bladen was back at the house?
00:34:06Yes, as far as I know.
00:34:07No one left after that.
00:34:09So you're a local museum?
00:34:11Yes, I was born here.
00:34:13We understand there's some hostility from the village towards the retreat.
00:34:18Oh, not from me.
00:34:19I'm grateful for the opportunity to work here.
00:34:22And did you notice anyone or anything unusual when you left?
00:34:27I saw light passing through the trees.
00:34:30That didn't worry you?
00:34:32Well, I just assumed they were poachers.
00:34:34We've had issues with them recently.
00:34:36But I was about to get involved.
00:34:37I probably know half of them.
00:34:39Anything else?
00:34:42There was a car parked outside the gate.
00:34:45No one in it though. I thought that was a bit odd.
00:34:47Can you describe it?
00:34:48Four by four. Black, I think.
00:34:52Oh, thank you, Ms. Ingalls.
00:34:53You've been very helpful.
00:35:14If we could let the guests know that Raven and I will be holding a breathwork session in the Manor
00:35:18Studio in 15 minutes.
00:35:19So we're carrying on as normal?
00:35:23None of this has anything to do with us.
00:35:25And we need the guests to know that.
00:35:33Sir.
00:35:34Uniform found a tracker on Miss Granville's car.
00:35:37Classic move of a controlling partner.
00:35:39We need to know who put it there.
00:35:41And locate the owner of that four by four.
00:35:44It could have been that cloaked figure Poppy Anwell saw from her window.
00:35:47Or whoever Seth Bladen heard in the woods.
00:35:50Or says he did to cover his tracks.
00:35:52You think he's lying, sir?
00:35:53He left the group just before the murder took place.
00:35:55He was alone and had opportunity.
00:35:57What's the motive?
00:35:58That's not too obvious.
00:36:00Yet.
00:36:01Sir, digital of Trace Miss Granville's phone.
00:36:04It's been found in the undergrowth about 15 miles from here.
00:36:06We need to know everything that's on it.
00:36:08In the meantime, let's find out if any strangers arrived in the village last night.
00:36:12I suggest we talk to the landlord of the pub.
00:36:13They always know everything about everything.
00:36:18Emotional upheaval normally goes hand in hand with higher stress levels.
00:36:24And when we're stressed, we breathe differently.
00:36:28We need to realign our breathing into a more consistent pattern
00:36:35to bring us back to balance.
00:36:38So, if you could close your eyes.
00:36:41And we will breathe in for five.
00:36:47One.
00:36:48Two.
00:36:49Three.
00:36:51Four.
00:36:52Five.
00:36:54And out for three.
00:36:57One.
00:36:58Two.
00:37:00Three.
00:37:01And repeat.
00:37:02Two.
00:37:04Serena.
00:37:04Sometimes you need to get yourself together, okay?
00:37:06The guests are anxious enough as it is.
00:37:09I just keep seeing her eyes staring up at me from beneath the water.
00:37:13Judge, judge me.
00:37:13Some madman followed her here, nothing to do with you or any of us.
00:37:18Okay?
00:37:18It's just Ared setting in the sanctuary.
00:37:22Come on. We'll get through this. Trust me.
00:37:33There's three black 4x4s right here, sir.
00:37:36Unhelpfully a very common car.
00:37:38If one of these plates matches someone on the database,
00:37:41I might have a lead.
00:37:42We could do with a bit of luck.
00:37:50As you might have already heard,
00:37:52a guest was murdered at the retreat last night.
00:37:56Yeah. That's all anyone's talking about.
00:37:58Does the name Collect Granville mean anything to you?
00:38:01No.
00:38:02We understand you're not a fan of Eden Valley, Mr Culpepper.
00:38:07How do you mean?
00:38:08Well, we have a witness who claims that
00:38:10you warned her not to go there last night.
00:38:13She must have got the wrong end of the stick.
00:38:16I was just saying I wasn't too keen on all that wellness mumbo-jumbo.
00:38:20But, you know, each to their own.
00:38:22Oh, and before you ask,
00:38:24I didn't go anywhere near Eden last night.
00:38:27What did you do, Mr Culpepper?
00:38:29Well, the pub was quite after seven, so I closed early.
00:38:33Watched some TV and then went to bed.
00:38:35Do you have any guests who could confirm that?
00:38:37Just the one.
00:38:38He said he was going out for the evening, so I gave him a key.
00:38:41No, we'll need his details.
00:38:43He didn't give me any.
00:38:44Just a handful of cash.
00:38:46Yeah, yeah, I know it's not exactly kosher, but...
00:38:50Business isn't exactly booming.
00:38:52Where is he now?
00:38:53In the stud.
00:38:54You can ask him yourself.
00:39:16One of the 4x4s has gone, sir.
00:39:18Good job you photographed them.
00:39:20Whoever this is, they're really not keen to talk to us.
00:39:33Raven Delaunay claims that Ms Granville was alive when she left,
00:39:38but we only have her word for that.
00:39:40Old friends share secrets, Winter.
00:39:43Was there something from their past
00:39:45that Ms Delaunay didn't want anyone else to know?
00:39:47It's possible.
00:39:48And Ms Delaunay was telling the truth about a dangerous boyfriend.
00:39:52The digital managed to access Ms Granville's phone data.
00:39:55As you can see here, sir,
00:39:57the last messages she received were extremely abusive.
00:40:01Sir.
00:40:03And all sent by this man, Arlo Reid.
00:40:08The 4x4 we're looking for is registered in the same name,
00:40:11as is the tracker that we found on Ms Granville's car.
00:40:15And the landlord confirmed that he was the man that stayed there last night.
00:40:18What do we know about Mr Reid?
00:40:20He was charged with coercive controlling behaviour two years ago,
00:40:23but his accuser backed down.
00:40:25Any history of violence?
00:40:26No, but it's not uncommon for things to escalate
00:40:30when a victim tries to leave.
00:40:31As in this case.
00:40:34Sir, uniform have followed the 4x4 into a woodland area
00:40:38just outside Thassingen.
00:40:40The vehicle's abandoned, but the engine's still warm.
00:40:42And he can't have got far.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:57There's nothing of interest in the car,
00:40:59and no sign of anyone when they arrive.
00:41:02Looks like there's a track through here.
00:41:04Why don't you see where it leads?
00:41:16Okay, so this is the two-handed technique.
00:41:19It's very simple.
00:41:20You put two hands on the axe, grip it lightly,
00:41:24and throw.
00:41:27Now, the axe has been modified for axe-throwing,
00:41:29so it doesn't require much force.
00:41:32Erm...
00:41:33Give it a go.
00:41:34See how it feels.
00:41:34Remember, stay in the lane, have fun,
00:41:36and I'll be back in a minute.
00:41:37Alright?
00:41:39What, you've been avoiding me, Ewan?
00:41:42No.
00:41:42Why?
00:41:43Because the police have been asking questions
00:41:45about the murder.
00:41:46So?
00:41:47I've got nothing to hide.
00:41:49I know I haven't.
00:41:51But you've got some explainer to do.
00:41:55No.
00:42:04No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:10No.
00:42:11No.
00:42:14No.
00:42:15No.
00:42:15Winter.
00:42:17Winter.
00:42:18You okay?
00:42:18What happened?
00:42:19The track ended here, and we must have been waiting.
00:42:22The uniform are looking for him.
00:42:23Do you need an ambulance?
00:42:24I don't think so, sir.
00:42:26Surprisingly.
00:42:28Nice of you to join us, Mr. Reid.
00:42:30It's not what you think.
00:42:31Then do enlighten us.
00:42:33When I heard Colette had been murdered,
00:42:35I knew I'd be a suspect, so I panicked.
00:42:37Well, how did you end up here?
00:42:38One of your cars was tailing me.
00:42:40I took a turn up a track to try and lose them,
00:42:43but it was a dead end, so I ran.
00:42:44Well, innocent men don't run.
00:42:46Okay, so I'm a coward.
00:42:48But I didn't kill Colette.
00:42:49Why would I?
00:42:51I loved her.
00:42:52We've seen your loving texts, Mr. Reid.
00:42:55You threatened to kill her if she didn't do as you asked.
00:42:57We know that you were tracking Ms. Granville's car,
00:42:59which is how you knew she was at Eden Valley.
00:43:01A witness saw a 4x4 similar to yours parked by the gate
00:43:03around the time of the murder.
00:43:05I didn't do anything wrong, I swear to God.
00:43:09Why don't you talk us through exactly what happened last night?
00:43:12I went to find Colette, just to talk.
00:43:15What time was that?
00:43:16Around nine.
00:43:17I found the car, but there was no sign of her or the other guests.
00:43:20I couldn't understand it.
00:43:22And then?
00:43:22I left.
00:43:24And that's the truth.
00:43:26I didn't hurt Colette.
00:43:28Look, I've never hurt anyone.
00:43:29You hurt my detective sergeant.
00:43:33Fleur's got something for us.
00:43:35Take him back to the station.
00:43:38A broken wind chime has been found in undergrowth close to the scene.
00:43:43And it was missing...
00:43:48this.
00:43:50And it's the perfect match to the groove in the victim's throat.
00:43:53Which suggests a spontaneous rather than premeditated attack.
00:43:57The killer was just grabbing whatever was at hand.
00:43:59Any news on time of death?
00:44:01Cold water makes it far more complex to pin down.
00:44:04But we're getting there.
00:44:06Arlo Reid's messages expressed his outrage at her defiance for triggering an escalation.
00:44:13He'd rather kill her than let her go.
00:44:15His controlling behaviour is completely indefensible.
00:44:18But, scratch the surface and we're all cavemen at heart.
00:44:23With some exceptions.
00:44:26Why are you looking at me?
00:44:28It's hard to envisage you in an animal's skin-lawing cloth wielding a club.
00:44:35Winter, on the other hand.
00:44:42So...
00:44:43Vengeful man kills errant lover in a fit of rage.
00:44:46It's what you would have called back in the day an open and shut case.
00:44:49But is it really that straightforward?
00:44:52As Sherlock Holmes once said, there's nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
00:44:57What's bothering you, sir?
00:44:59Well, Arlo Reid admits that he found Miss Granville's car,
00:45:03but says he had no idea where she was.
00:45:06Which is plausible, given the size of the estate.
00:45:08Well, Seth Bladen thought that he heard someone at the Sacred Grove
00:45:12at the same time that Arlo Reid claims he was back up at the house.
00:45:15So, if they're both telling the truth, then there must have been someone else out there.
00:45:19Winter, I think it's time we checked out the Sacred Grove.
00:45:33That man is consumed by darkness.
00:45:37What?
00:45:38You can actually see it?
00:45:40As clearly as I see you, and you're hiding something, you're scared.
00:45:46Yeah.
00:45:47We're all scared, Seth.
00:45:49Someone's been murdered.
00:45:50Diana.
00:45:51I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
00:45:53Remember what we said.
00:45:55You'll be fine.
00:46:00Good morning, everyone.
00:46:02As you can imagine, I needed some time and space to recalibrate.
00:46:08So, thank you all for your patience.
00:46:10We'll be moving to the garden studio for a sound bathing experience.
00:46:15This will help calm any stress or anxiety you might be feeling.
00:46:19It's going to take more than a few tinkles on a triangle to do that.
00:46:24The power of sound bathing lies in its ability to promote deep relaxation and healing.
00:46:30Something I think we all need right now.
00:46:33But first, it's my pleasure to deliver some positive news.
00:46:37A man has been detained by the police for questioning.
00:46:41So, we're free to go?
00:46:42Well, he hasn't been charged yet, but it's just a matter of time.
00:46:45If you'd like to follow me.
00:46:49He's involved in this somehow.
00:46:51I know he is.
00:46:58According to the map, this path is the old right of way to this acre grove.
00:47:02Looks like it's been recently fenced off.
00:47:04I don't think this damage has been done by squirrels.
00:47:09That sign looks new.
00:47:12Whoever did this really isn't happy about being shut out.
00:47:17That's a wildlife camera.
00:47:19Thought there wasn't any surveillance here.
00:47:21Ah. Good spot, Winter.
00:47:26What does all this mean, sir?
00:47:27Sarah investigated something like this with the History Society.
00:47:33As far as I remember, they are offerings that hold a spiritual significance of some kind.
00:47:45You need to look at this, sir.
00:48:00It's Basil DeLauny.
00:48:02It's Basil DeLauny.
00:48:29Mr. Delaunay, we need to talk to you, and it can't wait.
00:48:35Stay in the moment, everyone.
00:48:37We'll carry on once peace is restored.
00:48:40Both of you.
00:48:54What did I tell you?
00:48:56Dan Usher is a dark soul masquerading in the light.
00:49:01He can't hide his demons from me.
00:49:04Or the police, it seems.
00:49:07But your negative energy is aimed at poor old Raven.
00:49:12What has she done to deserve it?
00:49:15Nothing.
00:49:17You must be losing your touch.
00:49:19I'm never wrong, mate.
00:49:24I understand this is a portrait of your grandfather, Mr. Delaunay.
00:49:27And we found it nailed to a tree in the sacred grove.
00:49:30I left it by the bin. Someone must have found it.
00:49:33What was it doing there?
00:49:35Well, it made me feel uneasy, so I asked Dan to take it down.
00:49:38Have you any idea who might want to attack his portrait like this?
00:49:42I mean, my grandfather's alcoholism made him very unpopular.
00:49:45It resulted in him being estranged from his family and the village.
00:49:49We've been trying to build bridges, but the negative feelings run deep.
00:49:54Are you also aware that a section of the new boundary fence has been torn down?
00:49:57What? No.
00:50:00Our estate manager did mention it this morning, but I didn't tell Raven because I knew it would upset her.
00:50:05You didn't think to bring this to our attention?
00:50:08It's a criminal offence which could be related to the investigation.
00:50:11And we found this.
00:50:12You said there were no cameras on the property.
00:50:15Oh, that was installed by the bird conservation charity.
00:50:18That has nothing to do with us.
00:50:19You've already arrested a man on suspicion of murder.
00:50:22Why are you coming for us?
00:50:24No one's been charged, Mr. Usher.
00:50:26Until then, all lines of investigation will remain open.
00:50:30We understand.
00:50:33We'll leave it there.
00:50:34For now.
00:50:46Um, could I talk to you for a moment?
00:50:49I had another one of your visions, Mr. Blader.
00:50:51Uh, not exactly, but it is connected to my transcendental abilities.
00:50:55Go on.
00:50:57Uh, since last night, Dan Usher's energy has become increasingly negative and destructive.
00:51:03What exactly are you saying?
00:51:05That he's deeply entangled in all of this, and not in a positive way.
00:51:11Poppy Anwell is also on my radar, but her energy is harder to read.
00:51:18We'll bear that in mind, Mr. Bladen.
00:51:35Have you seen Raven?
00:51:37Uh, she went out for a walk about an hour ago.
00:51:41Where?
00:51:42She didn't say.
00:51:44Sorry, Dan, but you'll have to go.
00:51:46I know I've got an acupuncture session booked.
00:51:50You seem nervous, Marnie.
00:51:52I hope you've been sticking to our little bargain.
00:51:55Yes, of course.
00:51:58Good.
00:52:02Would you like to come in just this way, please?
00:52:10I've got time for this.
00:52:12Please.
00:52:12Please, I need to talk to you.
00:52:14What more is there to say?
00:52:16I never want any of this, Grace.
00:52:18Grace.
00:52:20Look, we've been under a lot of pressure from our investors.
00:52:24You seriously expect me to feel sorry for you?
00:52:26No, no, no.
00:52:27No, of course not.
00:52:30Look, we have a lot more in common than you think.
00:52:33Look, your family have suffered at the hands of my grandfather,
00:52:36just as my mother's family did.
00:52:38I'm just glad I never met him.
00:52:40But you're happy to inherit his house, and his land, and his assets?
00:52:43You're okay, Mom.
00:52:44Look, I know you don't trust me, but if you just hear me out, please.
00:52:49I've been talking to the lawyers about the possibility
00:52:52of excluding the stable block and the land from any expansion plans.
00:52:55Why should I believe a word you say?
00:53:02I think you should go.
00:53:11Ah, sir.
00:53:12Arlo Reid admits that he came to the retreat,
00:53:14but he's adamant he had nothing to do with the murder.
00:53:17We'll be charging him with assault,
00:53:18but so far there's no evidence to connect him to the scene,
00:53:20or anyone else, for that matter.
00:53:22Sir, the wildlife camera.
00:53:25It was motion sensitive.
00:53:27There's a couple of files that might be of interest.
00:53:30There's this one, 2046.
00:53:36Poppy Amwell saw a similar figure from her window.
00:53:39Can you zoom in?
00:53:42So, Mal Culpepper wasn't tucked up in bed after all.
00:53:46And there's this one, sir.
00:53:51They're walking in the opposite direction.
00:53:53Don't appear to be part of the group.
00:53:54Can you sharpen the image?
00:53:56I can ask Digital to try.
00:53:58Well, let's pay Mal Culpepper a visit in the morning.
00:54:00We need to know why he lied to us.
00:54:08Ah, really?
00:54:09Raven Delaney came to the stable block to talk to Mum.
00:54:12And?
00:54:13She wanted us to know that it's the investors that want us out, not her.
00:54:16There's nothing that she can do to change their minds.
00:54:17I don't care what she says.
00:54:19Yeah, but Mum does.
00:54:20She's a breaking point, Mal.
00:54:21She keeps talking about making a fresh start somewhere else.
00:54:24But your family have lived here for generations.
00:54:26We have no future here, Mal.
00:54:28The Delonies have made sure of that.
00:54:30I mean, what's to stay for?
00:54:32You know, you said you knew nothing about the murder.
00:54:36You swore to me.
00:54:36I don't.
00:54:37Then why the sudden you turn?
00:54:39I mean, last night you were up for the fight,
00:54:41and now you're talking about leaving for good.
00:54:43No, I'm sorry.
00:54:44Something doesn't smell right.
00:54:45I could think what you like, but I'm telling the truth.
00:54:47Right, well, if you've got nothing to hide,
00:54:50then stand your ground.
00:54:51Cos that's what your dad would have done.
00:54:56I've got to go.
00:54:58Look, come to the hub at half seven.
00:55:00We could talk more then.
00:55:13We're nearly there, Poppy.
00:55:14We just have to hold that knife.
00:55:16Seth, Aidan, it's only to you.
00:55:18I saw him talking to the police.
00:55:20Nothing that charlatan says will stand up and call.
00:55:23But can I trust you, Dan?
00:55:26I've been watching you with Raven.
00:55:27I think you're still in love with her.
00:55:28I've got to play the game, or she'll get suspicious.
00:55:35You look so beautiful in the studio.
00:55:38You have no idea how much I wanted to kiss you.
00:55:41Nothing's stopping you now.
00:55:50Nothing's stopping you now.
00:56:12Where's Dan?
00:56:14Where's Dan?
00:56:14Can't find him anywhere.
00:56:16No idea.
00:56:18Haven't seen him in a while.
00:56:19Well, he's scheduled to take the guests on a forest walk,
00:56:22so he can't have gone far.
00:56:26They are deliberately provoking us now.
00:56:29I need to find Dan before I do something stupid.
00:56:43I thought a nice red would go well with a lamb.
00:56:45More on a wellness kick, remember?
00:56:48Water will be nice, too.
00:56:50Mm-hm.
00:56:52What was it you wanted to ask me about?
00:56:54Oh, you remember the trees you looked into with the History Society?
00:56:58Their branches were decorated with all sorts of things.
00:57:01Where was that?
00:57:03Um, that was in Woodland near Badger's Drift.
00:57:07There were ribbons and feathers as offerings to the dead ancestors,
00:57:11mirrors as portals to another world and bells to ward off evil.
00:57:15It was all very clandestine.
00:57:19Why the cloak and dagger?
00:57:21Well, at one time, pagan traditions were forbidden by the church.
00:57:24But they continue to be passed down through generations
00:57:27of the same local families.
00:57:29They call them forest guardians.
00:57:31And do they have a particular faith or philosophy?
00:57:35Well, they worship nature,
00:57:37abhor violence to others.
00:57:39Pacifism is a core tenet of their beliefs.
00:57:41Well, there's a similar group near Hensley Weald.
00:57:44They worship in a place called the Sacred Grove.
00:57:47I could look into it for you, if you like.
00:57:50I was hoping you'd say that.
00:57:52Oh.
00:57:54Ulan!
00:58:00Ulan!
00:58:08Ulan!
00:58:23Sorry to interrupt your evening, sir.
00:58:25I knew you'd want to see this.
00:58:27Who's the victim?
00:58:28Mel Culpepper.
00:58:29What was he doing here?
00:58:31No idea. Dan Usher came to complain about the music
00:58:34and got a lot more than he bargained for.
00:58:36Oh, there. It's just this way, sir.
00:58:42Just when you think you've seen it all.
00:58:44It's all pretty familiar to me.
00:58:47I was a knife through his assistant in an impalement act.
00:58:52Rodrigo only got too close for comfort when he'd been on the tequila.
00:58:55This has got to be a wind-up.
00:58:57I can show you the scars, if you like.
00:58:58Could we possibly get back to the victim?
00:59:00If you insist.
00:59:02The scars are impressive.
00:59:03What do we know so far?
00:59:04Looking at the blood trail,
00:59:07he was struck by the axe over there
00:59:09and dragged to the wheel by the assailant.
00:59:13As a result, it's highly likely
00:59:15the killer's DNA has been transferred to the victim's body.
00:59:18Time of death?
00:59:19Unclear as yet, but he was wearing this
00:59:23pacemaker ID bracelet.
00:59:24Peter?
00:59:25Yep.
00:59:28Data from the device should give us a precise time of death.
00:59:33Excellent.
00:59:33The keeper's updated.
00:59:38Where is Mr. Usher now?
00:59:39I asked him to wait up by reception.
00:59:42He seemed genuinely shocked.
00:59:44That's it.
00:59:49What were you doing here, Mr. Usher?
00:59:52We had a bit of a run-in yesterday.
00:59:55They were playing music at a million decibels,
00:59:57and I told them there'd be trouble if they did it again.
01:00:00So you came back to teach them a lesson?
01:00:01I guess I've suffered enough.
01:00:03I couldn't just ignore it.
01:00:05What happened when you arrived?
01:00:08It was music playing, but no one was here.
01:00:11And then I saw blood.
01:00:14And then I found him.
01:00:15It was horrific.
01:00:17How well did you know Mr. Culpepper?
01:00:19Barely at all.
01:00:21He had a problem with the new boundary, but so did most of the village.
01:00:25How did you find that out?
01:00:27At a parish council meeting, you and Bose was particularly hostile.
01:00:32It's him you should be talking to.
01:00:34You think he set you up?
01:00:35Why else put that music on?
01:00:37He knew he'd get me back here.
01:00:39But there was no, um, bad blood between you and Mr. Culpepper.
01:00:43You're sure of that?
01:00:45Absolutely.
01:00:47We'll need your phone, Mr. Usher, just to verify that.
01:01:04What are you thinking, sir?
01:01:05Well, Mr. Usher claims he had minimal contact with Mal Culpepper.
01:01:09Will his phone records tell the same story?
01:01:12And let's see what Ewan Bose has to say.
01:01:14I have no idea why that music was playing, honest to God.
01:01:17What was Mr. Culpepper doing at the stable block?
01:01:20I'd arranged to meet him there at 7.30.
01:01:22So why didn't you?
01:01:24My car wouldn't start.
01:01:27I tried to call Mal, but it went through to voicemail.
01:01:30And where were you at the time, Mrs. Bose?
01:01:33In my room.
01:01:34Ewan called me down to help jumpstart the car, but no joy.
01:01:39Who else knew that Mr. Culpepper was going to be at the stable block?
01:01:43No-one.
01:01:44That's why his murder doesn't make any sense.
01:01:46Everyone loved Mal.
01:01:47He was like a father to Ewan.
01:01:50He's already lost one of those.
01:01:52Dan.
01:01:53He had it in for everyone in Hensley, especially Mal.
01:01:56He even threatened to put me on the wheel if we refused to do as he said.
01:01:59And he's got an explosive temper.
01:02:01Everyone's seen it.
01:02:02Can you tell us your whereabouts on the night of the first murder?
01:02:05We were here.
01:02:07But what's that got to do with Mal's death?
01:02:09It's just routine, Mrs. Bose.
01:02:12If you, uh, think of anything else, do call.
01:02:29Ewan!
01:02:46Sir, Arlo Reid has been charged with aggravated assault and released on bail.
01:02:50There's no way he's our murderer.
01:02:52We allowed ourselves to be blindsided, Winter.
01:02:55We need to go over every detail with fresh eyes.
01:02:58Dan Usher had history with Mal Culpepper,
01:03:02and we now know Mr. Usher has an explosive temper.
01:03:05According to Ewan Bose, he threatened him with the same manner of death.
01:03:09He could be lying, sir.
01:03:12But why?
01:03:12Mal Culpepper was a close family friend.
01:03:15Why would he want to kill him?
01:03:16Did he know something about Ewan Bose that we don't?
01:03:19It's possible, but what?
01:03:22Well, Grace Bose has called the desk.
01:03:25Their mechanic says that water had been put in the petrol tank.
01:03:28So someone really didn't want Ewan Bose to get to that meeting.
01:03:32The question is, ooh.
01:03:34Sir, the plot thickens.
01:03:35Ms. Ingalls wants to meet at the pub,
01:03:37and she's with Ewan Bose.
01:03:52It seems that Mal Culpepper was just as popular as Grace Bose claimed.
01:03:56But what's his murder got to do with Colette Granville?
01:04:00If we could just work out what connects the two victims,
01:04:03we might start getting somewhere.
01:04:04Sir, looks like we've found our cloaked mystery man.
01:04:25Where's Marnie? I've been trying to call her.
01:04:27I just found this. It's in a resignation letter.
01:04:29We no longer feel safe here, so we're leaving.
01:04:33But the police have asked that you stay.
01:04:35I don't think you understand.
01:04:37We don't feel safe with you.
01:04:39Seth, Seth, the murders have nothing to do with us.
01:04:42If you could see what I see, you'd leave too.
01:04:45This isn't over yet.
01:04:46All right, okay. Where's Poppy?
01:04:48She's the only one who decided to stay.
01:04:50I wonder why.
01:04:52And just so you know,
01:04:54she really doesn't like you, Raven.
01:05:01What's he mean?
01:05:02You've got to stop him, Dan.
01:05:04Why? The man's a complete fantasist. Let him go.
01:05:06If we don't get him back on site,
01:05:08it's going to be all over social media,
01:05:09and our investors will lose faith,
01:05:11and Eden will be finished. Please.
01:05:12I'll take care of it, Raven.
01:05:19We were childhood sweethearts.
01:05:22Always thought we'd get married,
01:05:23but when Marnie took the job at Eden,
01:05:26I saw it as a betrayal.
01:05:28It was them or me.
01:05:30Yeah, well, Eden was a big opportunity.
01:05:33I couldn't just turn it down.
01:05:35And Dan made me feel valued,
01:05:37like a key member of the team.
01:05:40But then, the day after the murder,
01:05:42he asked me to lie.
01:05:44About what?
01:05:45Well, he said if the police asked,
01:05:49I was to say that he never left the retreat
01:05:51after the forest bathing session, but he did.
01:05:54Did he say where he went?
01:05:55No, and when I challenged him,
01:05:58he made it pretty clear that I'd lose my job
01:06:00if I didn't do as he said.
01:06:01Why didn't you leave, then?
01:06:03Well, I had no reason to suspect him.
01:06:05It seemed pretty obvious
01:06:07that the man you arrested was the killer.
01:06:10But when I heard Mal was dead,
01:06:13I thought Dan must be involved somehow.
01:06:18I'm just lucky that Ewan took me back.
01:06:24Do you think Mr. Norni could be involved, too?
01:06:26Oh, no, no, no.
01:06:27He's lying to her, too.
01:06:28I overheard him with Poppy Anwell.
01:06:31It seemed like they were much more than just good friends.
01:06:35We need to talk to her.
01:06:38There's something you need to see first.
01:06:47You're the first non-guardians to ever enter this place,
01:06:50but there's no point in hiding anything now.
01:06:55And what exactly is the role of a guardian?
01:06:58To protect the sacred grove.
01:07:01It's a deeply spiritual place to all of us.
01:07:03Which is why being denied access is such a problem.
01:07:07Mal was lead guardian, as my father was before him.
01:07:11He couldn't just do nothing.
01:07:13And he made the decision to pull down the fence?
01:07:16We all agreed it was the right thing to do.
01:07:18But you were also seen up at the main house that night.
01:07:21Your boots identified you.
01:07:23Placing you close to the murder scene.
01:07:26What were you doing there?
01:07:28Oh, Marnie wasn't taking my calls.
01:07:30I just wanted to talk, but I couldn't find her.
01:07:33I swear on my mother's life, I didn't do anyone any harm.
01:07:37None of us did.
01:07:41Is he telling the truth?
01:07:43Well, it sounds plausible, but a lie I can do.
01:07:46Wait, wait, I forgot to give you these.
01:07:47There's another thing that Dan didn't want you knowing.
01:07:50This is the original guest room allocation, and this is the one that they gave you.
01:07:54Dan changing the system the morning after murder.
01:07:57Thank you, Miss Ingalls.
01:07:58That's very helpful.
01:08:02What did he change?
01:08:03The original list puts Raven Delaunay in the Dark Sky Cabin.
01:08:09What if the killer approached from behind?
01:08:12The two women had the same length hair, the same hair colour.
01:08:19The killer's target was never Colette Granville.
01:08:23It was Raven Delaunay.
01:08:41Sir, Tech have done a search into Dan Usher.
01:08:45It turns out that the retreat business is in his name for tax purposes, but he's also
01:08:50the sole beneficiary of the entire estate in the event of her death.
01:08:53Giving him motive.
01:08:55Is Poppy Anwell his partner in crime?
01:08:58Nothing in the phone records to back that up, but they do reveal the history of vitriolic
01:09:01texts between him and Mal Culpepper, including blatant threats to life.
01:09:05Hmm, he said he hardly knew him.
01:09:09What else is he hiding?
01:09:15Most of the guests have left, I'm afraid.
01:09:18When we heard about the second murder, well, we couldn't stop them.
01:09:22That's not why we're here, Mr. Delaunay.
01:09:25New information has come to light which suggests that Colette Granville wasn't the killer's target.
01:09:32It was you.
01:09:39Dan, the police need to talk to us.
01:09:43It seems we've had this all wrong from the start.
01:09:46Meaning what, exactly?
01:09:48Ms. Ingalls gave us a copy of the original guest room list.
01:09:52Ms. Delaunay was scheduled to be in the Dark Sky cabin, not Colette Granville.
01:09:56You swapped Ms. Delaunay's name for Ms. Granville's after her murder.
01:10:00Why would you do that?
01:10:01I thought it would avoid any confusion.
01:10:04Or any difficult questions.
01:10:07It seemed obvious to everyone, including you, that her lunatic boyfriend came after her.
01:10:12What does it matter?
01:10:13Because you gave us false information, Mr. Usher.
01:10:15And it's not the only time you lied.
01:10:17Your phone records reveal a history of threatening texts from you to Mal Culpepper.
01:10:22Some threatening violence.
01:10:22You told us you hardly knew him, when in reality, he was hell-bent on destroying the business you have
01:10:28so much invested in.
01:10:29I went to the stable, but because of the music, I told you that.
01:10:32Yeah, I checked that with both Ms. Ingalls and Ms. Delaunay, and they both said that you went missing before
01:10:36the music started.
01:10:38That's not true.
01:10:39Where were you then?
01:10:40Poppy said she had some problems with her shower, asked if I could check it out.
01:10:45Ms. Ingalls also suspected that you were in a relationship with Poppy Amwell.
01:10:49That's ridiculous.
01:10:53Sir?
01:10:54Oh, I've ordered a search of this office.
01:10:57We'll need your laptop, Ms. Dasha.
01:10:59Not without a warrant.
01:11:02We'll be in touch.
01:11:17I reckon Mr. Asher's got some pretty shady content on that laptop.
01:11:21I'll retire the search of his hard drive.
01:11:23He's running out of places to hide.
01:11:28Keep this between ourselves, she can't prove anything.
01:11:32Oh, you're positively glowing. What have you been doing?
01:11:34A relaxing afternoon at the spa.
01:11:37How about you?
01:11:38Did you manage your post-work nature walk?
01:11:40Yes, indeed.
01:11:41We went for a lovely stroll in the woods, didn't we, Paddy?
01:11:46Mm-hmm.
01:11:47You sure it wasn't a lovely stroll to the pub?
01:11:49Paddy's paws look remarkably clean, and the woods are super muddy right now.
01:11:53Not the way we went.
01:11:57Okay.
01:11:59Which will give you the benefit of the doubt.
01:12:02Anyway, I've got some interesting news for you.
01:12:04Oh?
01:12:05I called into Causton Library on my way back.
01:12:08I looked through their microfiche archives for anything relating to the Hensley estate,
01:12:12because most of it hasn't been digitised.
01:12:14And?
01:12:15Well, I found newspaper articles reporting the fatal shooting of a man in a hunting accident.
01:12:21I made copies for you.
01:12:22When was this?
01:12:23Over 30 years ago.
01:12:25And who's the victim?
01:12:26Restrictions have been placed on the case, so the names have been withheld.
01:12:30But they will be available in the police archives.
01:12:35Winter, I have a job for you.
01:12:42Morning, Winter.
01:12:43Morning.
01:12:44Any news?
01:12:45Yes.
01:12:47Poppy Amwell backed Mr. Usher's statement, but what we found on his laptop suggests that
01:12:51she would have agreed to anything he said.
01:12:53It seems that Mr. Usher has had his eye on the long game from the start.
01:12:57How?
01:12:57Well, he and Ms. Amwell have been gathering damaging evidence from Raven's partying days,
01:13:04off her head on drink and drugs, often with Ms. Granville, and in some pretty compromising
01:13:11situations.
01:13:12What were they intending to do with it?
01:13:14Expose her on social media as a charlatan.
01:13:16The investors were serious as a liability and she'd be forced from the business, leaving
01:13:20Dan Usher and Poppy Amwell to reboot the Eden brand and run it together.
01:13:25But why kill Raven when he already had a plan?
01:13:28Well, their investors were uncomfortable with the business being solely in Mr. Usher's
01:13:31name, so Raven had advised her lawyers to transfer ownership back to her, giving him
01:13:36motive to move quickly.
01:13:38Excellent work, Winter.
01:13:39You must have been up all night.
01:13:40Yeah, pretty much.
01:13:41So we now know that Mr. Usher had motive for both murders.
01:13:45We just need to prove it.
01:13:47Where are we with Mr. Culpepper's pacemaker?
01:13:51Time of death will be crucial.
01:13:53Then you should be very pleased to see me.
01:13:56The victim died at 6.11.
01:13:58How accurate is that?
01:14:00Extremely.
01:14:01The music started at 6.31 and Mr. Usher was seen approaching the stable block by a dog
01:14:07walker at 6.44, which means Dan Usher couldn't have killed Mal Culpepper.
01:14:13We also got the DNA back from the blood on the painting.
01:14:17It's a match for a Ewan Bowes.
01:14:19What was he doing on the database?
01:14:21Numerous poaching offenses.
01:14:23Thank you, Fleur.
01:14:24What would we do without you?
01:14:26Crash and burn, probably.
01:14:29I'll leave you to it, gents.
01:14:31Well, sir, it's the archive file from the fatal shooting on the estate.
01:14:34Basil Delauny was charged with involuntary manslaughter and received a suspended sentence.
01:14:40Who was the victim?
01:14:42Jack Bowes, Ewan's father.
01:14:46Seth Bladen described seeing a violent incident in his vision.
01:14:51Maybe we underestimated it.
01:14:52Quite possibly, sir.
01:14:54Jack was shot in the sacred grove and today is the anniversary of his death.
01:15:06I was walking and just trying to make sense of everything and I saw your car.
01:15:13I need to know if Dan's been lying to me.
01:15:16We've had confirmation that Mr. Culpepper died before Mr. Usher arrived at the stable block,
01:15:20which eliminates him from that inquiry.
01:15:22Oh, thank God.
01:15:23It's not that straightforward, I'm afraid.
01:15:26Our findings indicate that Mr. Usher has been planning to defraud you.
01:15:32He's been digging into your past, contacting old friends for information, photographs,
01:15:36anything that could damage your reputation.
01:15:39In partnership with Poppy Anwell.
01:15:43That's what Colette was trying to tell me.
01:15:46Miss Delauny, we wouldn't advise you to travel home alone.
01:15:48We can get someone to take you somewhere safe.
01:15:50No, no, that won't be necessary.
01:15:53If anyone's leaving, it's not going to be me.
01:16:06Mum will be down shortly.
01:16:09Mal's death is here pretty hard.
01:16:12Actually, it's you we need to speak to.
01:16:15DNA tests have confirmed that it was you that slashed Basil Delauny's portrait
01:16:19and nailed it to a tree in the sacred grove.
01:16:22Why didn't you tell us about the nature of your father's death?
01:16:26What's that got to do with murders?
01:16:28That's what we're trying to work out.
01:16:30Can you talk us through exactly what happened?
01:16:33He was shot in cold blood by Basil Delauny.
01:16:39They called it a hunting accident, but he was drunk.
01:16:43How do you know?
01:16:44It was the annual day call at the estate, and they employed Dad and Mal.
01:16:50A stalker's mum was at the pre-shoot drinks.
01:16:53They all noticed Basil was drinking heavily.
01:16:56And then?
01:16:57Dad and Mal followed him into the woods.
01:16:59He had a real skin full by then, but he wouldn't go home.
01:17:02He started firing recklessly, moving targets.
01:17:06Cardinal said when hunting deer.
01:17:09When Mal lost sight of Dad, he started to panic.
01:17:11Called his name, but there was no answer.
01:17:14He was already dead.
01:17:17Did Mr Culp ever tell the police what he'd seen?
01:17:20Yeah.
01:17:22But they all closed ranks, and Basil Delauny was never breathalyzed.
01:17:25The judge was an old friend and insisted on reporting restrictions to keep it all hush-hush.
01:17:33But everyone in Hensley knew the truth.
01:17:36And what happened to Basil Delauny?
01:17:38He became a reclusive alcoholic and died six years ago, which brought some comfort to the community.
01:17:44Until Raven Delauny took over and made things ten times worse.
01:17:50When I went to look for Marnie, I saw his painting by the bins and just lost it and smashed
01:17:57the glass.
01:17:58And that's how you hurt your hand?
01:18:01Why nail it to a tree?
01:18:06To show Dad I hadn't forgotten about him.
01:18:09That we were still fighting for justice.
01:18:13We'll need to speak to your mother.
01:18:15I understand today is the anniversary of your father's death.
01:18:20It's another reason why she's so upset.
01:18:26I'll, um...
01:18:27I'll try and persuade us to come down.
01:18:34Sadness is everywhere in this house.
01:18:36You can feel it.
01:18:37And some people get more than their fair share of bad luck.
01:18:43She's gone.
01:18:47There's no sign.
01:18:48Does she have her phone?
01:18:49No. It's in her room and the car's still here.
01:18:51I'll go check the outbuildings.
01:18:53And, sir, Digital managed to heighten the resolution on that blurred image.
01:18:58Look at this.
01:18:59It's Grace Bowes.
01:19:00So she was at the estate that night of Colette's murder.
01:19:02When she said she was at home, why would she lie if she had nothing to hide?
01:19:05And she still has unfinished business.
01:19:09So let me get this right.
01:19:11You needed Marnie to believe that I was in the dark square cabin so you could use it as your
01:19:15love chef.
01:19:16I'm sorry, Raven.
01:19:16I didn't intend to fall in love with Poppy.
01:19:18But the universe...
01:19:19Right, and I suppose you never intended to destroy my reputation either.
01:19:23Hmm?
01:19:23Or defraud me of my business.
01:19:25Which, by the way, I entrusted to you as a symbol of my complete and utter faith in your integrity.
01:19:31Yeah, but now, now I see you for who you really are.
01:19:34A ruthless, manipulative liar.
01:19:38And Colette, she was trying to protect me from you.
01:19:40No, I have transferred the business back into my name.
01:19:43And you, you will be charged with conspiracy to defraud.
01:19:47Both of you.
01:19:48But it was all his idea.
01:19:50But it's not really my problem, is it?
01:19:52Hmm?
01:19:54I suggest you go pack your bags while I take some much-needed time out.
01:19:58And when I return, I expect you both to be gone.
01:20:03And I do hope you'll be very happy together.
01:20:07Oh, no, no, no.
01:20:59Mr. Lorne, Mr. Lorne, call an ambulance, any sign of grace both?
01:21:05Nice there.
01:21:06Oh, it's Fleur.
01:21:06Talked up the wrong route.
01:21:08Where are we going?
01:21:08To the sacred grove.
01:21:31It's time to stop now, Grace.
01:21:38You were caught on camera on the night of the first murder and your DNA has been found on the
01:21:43second victim. You need to give that to me.
01:21:46I just want to be with Jack.
01:21:47I know you do.
01:21:48But what about Ewan? You've come this far. You can't abandon him now.
01:21:54I came here every day to talk to Jack about Ewan. The farm. No matter how hard it was, it
01:22:01gave me hope.
01:22:02Until Raven Delaunay prevented you from doing that by changing the boundary. And Renee on the land agreement you believed
01:22:10you had with her grandfather.
01:22:11I couldn't let the Delaunay family take everything away from you and just as they had from me.
01:22:16So you went to find Raven?
01:22:19When I went up to the house, the place was deserted. But I found out where Raven was staying that
01:22:24night. Just wanted to talk to her.
01:22:27When I saw how luxurious the retreat was. How much money had been invested. I was overwhelmed. The injustice of
01:22:36it all. I saw her lying in the bath. Nothing to do but stare up at the stars.
01:22:43She had everything and was going to leave us with nothing. I could no longer control the rage that I'd
01:22:52buried for so long.
01:23:10But that person wasn't Raven Delaunay, was it? Why did Mal Culpepper have to die?
01:23:19I thought I could trust him. But I couldn't.
01:23:23What do you mean?
01:23:24Mal was meeting Ewan at the stable block at 7.30. He told me to come at 6. He said
01:23:28it was important.
01:23:30He said Ewan had disappeared from the grove the night of the murder. He had no satisfactory explanation.
01:23:36That he was going to have to tell the police the truth.
01:23:39But why would he do that? You were old friends.
01:23:41Mal thought Ewan had blood on his hands. I told him he was wrong. Ewan could never hurt anyone.
01:23:46But the forest guardians are pacifists. They reject all forms of violence.
01:23:52Mal couldn't have that on his conscience.
01:23:55You don't say something. I will.
01:23:57When I saw I couldn't change his mind. I had to do something.
01:24:00Mal!
01:24:01I could see the panic in his eyes.
01:24:12Why did you put him on the wheel?
01:24:15Dan had threatened to do that to Ewan. If the music started again, it was a way of implicating him.
01:24:21But how on earth did you manage it?
01:24:24I had this rush of adrenaline like I was capable of anything. I had to protect my son.
01:24:37Now all I had to do was turn the music on and Dan would come running.
01:24:46But you must have been covered in blood. How did you avoid being seen?
01:24:51I washed the worst of it off at the stable block and then walked back through the woods.
01:24:55Before adding water to the petrol in Ewan's car preventing him from meeting Mal as Pat.
01:25:00And where did Ewan think you were all this time?
01:25:03Mom!
01:25:03In my room. I often take to my bed around Jack's anniversary. He didn't question it.
01:25:10But with Raven Delaunay still alive, you hadn't got the justice you sought.
01:25:15You could feel the net was closing in. You had to find her.
01:25:18Raven Delaunay had everything she could possibly want, just like her grandfather.
01:25:22Why did she have to take everything away from us?
01:25:25But she didn't, Mom.
01:25:27Her lawyers called just after you left.
01:25:29They're gifting us the stable block in the land.
01:25:32Just like she said.
01:25:34She was telling the truth.
01:25:36But I didn't believe her. Now she's dead.
01:25:39No, the needle only penetrated her lungs. She's going to live, Grace.
01:25:44Hey, Mom. I'll always love you. No matter what.
01:25:49I've got a future here now.
01:25:52It's just all you've ever wanted.
01:25:55It's all your father ever wanted.
01:26:01Let's tell him now, before it's too late.
01:26:16There is something magical about this place, Winter.
01:26:22You think their ancestors are onto something?
01:26:24Think they're really talking to Jack?
01:26:26Well, they believed they were.
01:26:28Well, that'll give them some comfort, I suppose.
01:26:32And hopefully a sense of closure.
01:26:35That's all that matters now.
01:26:57Well done, Paddy. Good boy.
01:26:59And remember, we keep this between ourselves.
01:27:04Oh, so much for your wellness plan.
01:27:07We've been sticking to ours.
01:27:09You've been called red-handed, sir.
01:27:10And as for you, Paddy...
01:27:12Actually, what I have learned from all the meditation and mindfulness
01:27:16is that this is my version of wellness.
01:27:20You know, never mind your sound bathing and your freezing cold baths.
01:27:23What I need at the end of a hard day's work is a cold beer,
01:27:26a comfy armchair, the company of family and friends,
01:27:29and the love of my faithful accomplice,
01:27:33who brings me all the wellbeing I could possibly need.
01:27:37But, Paddy, you forgot the poor scratches.
01:27:41Good boy.
01:27:46Oh, good boy, Paddy.
01:27:47Good boy. Come here. Who's a good boy, then, eh?
01:27:51Well done, Paddy.
01:27:52Down to poor scratches.
01:28:07Good boy.
