"Quid non mortalia pectora coges, auri sacra fames,"
signed Elias Cutler.
That which is not mortal,
um, something, something, gold.
"What do not you force mortal hearts to do,
accursed hunger for gold."
The search for riches make people do terrible things.
Elias wrote it on the map, about his crew, I think.
Humphrey: Oh, yes, yes, yes, I remember this.
Elias captured a galleon full of gold coins,
but his men turned on each other and all but Elias ended up dead.
So he ditched the gold and came home to Shipton Abbott.
-You've been paying attention. -Yes.

L-Let's not tempt fate, Kelby.
This could be the start of a 24-hour crime wave.
I do hope not.
Yes. Me, too.
So, the thief used a smoke bomb as a distraction
and, in the ensuing panic, stole Elias' map.
Now, the question is,
how did they remove the map from a locked cabinet
and leave the note in a matter of seconds?
Geraldine: Perhaps it was Elias' ghost.
His nickname was The Shadow, after all.
Only joshing, Kelby.
You know that's just a story to entertain the tourists.

these wheel marks suggest
that the thief used a pram or pushchair,
pointing to human rather than spectral agency.
I thought the cabinet would be ample security.

Some of it's quite valuable.
Cameras didn't pick anything up.
Is the map worth a lot?
I just got it valued,
by Brigdens, antique shop in town.
He's been here a couple of times,
valued most of the collection, but said
the map was only worth a hundred or so.
-Were you disappointed? -A little.
In fact, I took it to get a second opinion
from a specialist dealer in London.
They said the same thing.
Were you planning on selling it?
Just updating the insurance.
The map's very dear to me.
It's how Dev, my husband, and I met.
Port of Spain, Trinidad, 10 year ago.
Strange place to find it.
It was where Elias sailed from when he came home to,
uh, Shipton Abbott. So I took a trip there
when I was researching our history,
and, uh, found the map in a junk shop.
Like meeting a ghost.
It did feel a little bit like that, yeah.
All filthy and weathered.
But the owner said that someone had already put down a deposit,
so I went to negotiate with him and, uh, the rest is history.

And here we are.
Or we were.
We shall be again.
Dev's in a care home right now. Stroke.
-I'm sorry to hear that. -Yeah.

The pirate festival was his idea.
It's really not the same without him.
Oh, this is my Dev,

It was him who gave us the display cabinet,

-Gold? -Yes. Yeah?
Gold has roughly twice the density of brass,
so it weighs twice as much.
See, Elias's gold coins were never found.
Maybe because they weren't hidden.
They were melted, turned into everyday objects,
like the frame holding his map.
See, Geraldine never cleaned it.
She liked its authenticity, so she never realised what she had.
-But someone did. -Who?
The BADA, NAVA,
Christie's-qualified professional who just valued it.
-Tyler? -Precisely.
But she got a second opinion.
Yeah, on the map, yes.
But, see, my bet is she removed the map from the frame
because it was too heavy to carry on the train to London.
So the second valuer, he never even saw it.
But how did Tyler get into the cabinet without a key?
The answer is...
two.
But that says 197B.
Yeah, which implies the existence of a 197A.
A second cabinet.
Two cabinets, two frames, and two times
that Tyler visited Geraldine's house.
The first time he visited,
Tyler spotted that the frame was solid gold
and extremely valuable.
Now, he could have told Geraldine,
sold it, taken his 10% commission.
But he realised that Geraldine's display case was identical
to one he'd purchased a few years before,
from the same ship clearance where Sanjeev bought his.
197A.
The perfect twin to balance the ship,
like Elias' two canons.
And, so, Tyler spotted an opportunity.
-I love this. -I've got some more.
So he returned to Geraldine's house offering
to value more of her items.
But it was in fact to confirm the two cabinets were identical,
in every way, including the key.
Woman: Yeah.
Tyler bought a ticket to the exhibition
and borrowed his assistant's child's pram.
[ People coughing ]
Then all he had to do was start his distraction...
[ People clamouring ]
...unlock the cabinet, leave the note, take the map.
Why did he leave the note?
Because he wanted to make it look like a prank,
someone pretending to be Elias' ghost.
That was crucial,
because he never intended on keeping the map.
He just wanted to swap the frame for a brass one.
And then return it to us,
thinking we'd write it off as a joke,
and not bother looking for the culprit.
And, crucially, no one would be looking for the map,
so he could sell the frame on without any suspicion and pocket
the entire proceeds, because he's a...
Massive anchor?
Oh, hi. You're back.
We have a warrant to search these premises.

Right, um, yeah. Hi.
And of course you know Mr. James Smith

Mr. Smith, lovely --
Sorry, what is happening?
That is precisely what I'd like to know.
I've convened an emergency meeting of the police standards

Please, take a seat.
What is he even doing here?
According to the off-boarding timetable,
he ceases to exist in operational terms
as of 5:00 PM today.
Well, as it's only 4:51,
technically I still exist for nine minutes.
Anne: Then I'd better get on with it.
I've called you all here today on a very serious matter.
That of police corruption.
Mr. Smith, earlier this year, you informed DI Goodman
that he would have to lose a member of staff,
due to unavoidable budget cuts.
The decision about who to lose, all yours.
After much soul-searching,
DI Goodman made the noble decision to step down himself.
However...
something didn't ring true to me.
Ooh. [ Laughs ]
I first smelt a rat on a golfing day with Mr. Smith,
where I noticed that he was very friendly
with the DI of Heston Morley Station,
the only officer of that rank invited to the event.
Thank you for your, uh, help.
Any time.
And when, by happy chance, I was accidentally detained
in the records area of Shipton Abbott Station,
I noticed that your budget for the previous year
registered an underspend,
whereas police council records showed
that Heston Morley had received an increase
in their annual budget of precisely the same amount
as Shipton Abbott was being asked to lose from theirs.
