episode description
Seasoned homicide detective Rod Demery and expert forensic scientist Turi King investigate the case of a partial skeleton unearthed from an ancient cemetery in Berwick, Scotland. The victim has several stab wounds in the back and an unusual shoulder condition. Rod and Turi set about identifying this man who lived 800 years ago - along with his killer. As Rod investigates the nearby pilgrimage route as a possible motive for a robbery-gone-wrong, Turi’s injury analysis reveals the use of a professional murder weapon. When she then conducts an experiment to discover the origin of the victim’s shoulder condition and concludes that the victim was an archer, Rod meets witnesses who recount the lives of military men, serving Scotland’s many castles at the time. Soon a scenario involving an alcoholic brawl starts to form… In an era where high-born families warred with each other, their minions gambling and fighting, which suspect will Rod decide was the murderer?
