0:00:14 > 0:00:17- How many more times? - Two more should square it.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19One.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Do you know what they did in the Old Testament

0:00:24 > 0:00:26to people who reneged on their debts?

0:00:28 > 0:00:31Stoned them to death. Caved their heads in.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33That's not true.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Take a look.- I don't need to.

0:00:37 > 0:00:38Unlike you, I've read it.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41I bet. Cover to cover.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42Good little Catholic girl.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49You're just being a good wife, remember?

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Let me hear you say it.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57I'm a good wife.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00If you ever doubt that...

0:01:02 > 0:01:07..then remember, if I don't get what I'm owed,

0:01:07 > 0:01:11I'll turn you from a wife to a widow in the blink of an eye.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16I swear it.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21So help me, God.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Good morning!

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Two utensils per dish.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Plates at the beginning, napkins at the end. Savoury to sweet.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Yes, Reverend.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Father Brown! So glad you could come.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45How could I not?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Rumour has it you've invited half my flock.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Couldn't resist sharing my good fortune.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Just so long as you're not planning on poaching any of my souls.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Wouldn't dream of it! - You're a wicked man, Reverend.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Just one moment.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04Ah! Not there. The petals will fall in the salad.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Looks nice. Like garnish.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Susie? Mrs McCarthy? It's like I never left St Mary's!

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Agreed.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14The Reverend Bohun asked me to bake

0:03:14 > 0:03:18some of my award-winning strawberry scones. So, how could I refuse?

0:03:18 > 0:03:21And how can I?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Not yet! When the guests arrive.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Thought I was a guest.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29Kluski z makiem i rodzynkami. It's very popular in Poland.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31With whom? Household pets?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Mmm!

0:03:38 > 0:03:41I don't think so, Reverend.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Simeon's very busy today.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Too busy for scones and tea?

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Well, I've just started preparing lunch.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Come afterwards. Please!

0:03:51 > 0:03:53It won't be the same without you.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Yes, all right.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Wonderful.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- So, what do you think?- Hmm?

0:04:12 > 0:04:13The new clock tower.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17New roofing slates, cast iron dials, brand new bell.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Kembleford will hear its first resounding bellow at 3pm precisely.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Are you sure?

0:04:22 > 0:04:24What do you mean?

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Well, it seems to be running about ten seconds too slow.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32You can't tell that from a pocket watch.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34You're pulling my leg.

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Wouldn't dream of it!

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Fry-up for lunch?

0:04:48 > 0:04:52Well, I thought you deserved it, you've been working so hard.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Oh, and don't get too excited,

0:04:55 > 0:04:59but I did tell the Reverend we'd make it to his extravaganza later.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Oh, I've got three more jobs on.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I know, but we could afford a short break.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08We can't afford anything, least alone a fry-up, can we?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Look. Look...

0:05:11 > 0:05:13I'm sorry.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'm sorry. It smells delicious.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20What?

0:05:20 > 0:05:21What?

0:05:21 > 0:05:22I'm just...

0:05:24 > 0:05:26..just thinking how lucky I am.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32What did I say?

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Nothing.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm just tired, that's all.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42You're not going to wear this to the table, are you? It's filthy.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Better?

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Coo-eee!

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I am SO sorry to disturb you!

0:05:59 > 0:06:02I was wondering if we could borrow some...

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Oh!

0:06:04 > 0:06:06I'll put something on.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07Yes, thank you.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10We've run out of plates.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15I think we'll need 10 or 15 at least, if you can spare.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21I have made my award-winning strawberry scones

0:06:21 > 0:06:24and I expect them to be as popular as ever.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Thank you, dear.- You're welcome. - Very much appreciated.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51BAND PLAYS TANGO MUSIC

0:06:58 > 0:07:00I shudder to think what I might've seen

0:07:00 > 0:07:01if I'd arrived a few minutes later.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05You must acknowledge that evolution renders God superfluous, at best.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10No, on the contrary. The majesty of life's tapestry reveals the divine.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12It doesn't deny it.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14You ought to spend some time with me in the field,

0:07:14 > 0:07:16watching insects devouring each other.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17Then tell me how divine you think it is.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21That sounds fascinating. I love camping.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Tell me when and where.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Father Brown!

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Talking of wildlife...

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Lady Felicia, you appear to have something nesting in your hat.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Oh! You do tickle me, Father.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I hear you're entertaining us later.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Reverend Bohun has insisted I perform my Habanera.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40I'm sure he did.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Polish delicacy? - Award-winning scone?- Oh, how lovely.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46CAR HORN BEEPS

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Seems my invitation got lost in the post.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11TANGO MUSIC

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Ecumenical harmony.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25Warms the heart.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Catholics and Anglicans taking tea together,

0:08:29 > 0:08:32pretending to be all chummy.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Pretending?

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, come on, Father.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Underneath it all you think the other side's going to hell.

0:08:37 > 0:08:43And besides, all the pomp and bluster of Catholicism,

0:08:43 > 0:08:45it's all a bit silly, isn't it?

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Norman!

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Forgive my brother.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53- He's entitled to his opinion. - As odious as it is.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55I, for one, find Norman's candour refreshing.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56As refreshing as a used toilet!

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Oh, I do beg your pardon. That was most uncouth.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Erm, award-winning scone?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14You're a vulgar man.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Lady Felicia,

0:09:16 > 0:09:20I may be wrong but, judging by your general demeanour

0:09:20 > 0:09:24and the way you're looking at me, I'd say I'm making you randy.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Elizabeth, haven't seen you at mass for a while.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Is anything wrong?

0:09:51 > 0:09:54I'm sorry, Father. Just busy.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I'm not chastising you.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Is there anything you want to talk about?- No...

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Everything's fine. Thank you.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14You're supposed to be gone!

0:10:14 > 0:10:16I need more money.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18I gave you £10. You're not getting a penny more.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20You know how expensive is London?

0:10:20 > 0:10:22It'll cost you more if you stay here. I guarantee it.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07You forgot something, you vile, disgusting rodent!

0:11:07 > 0:11:09You're finished, Barnes.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37So this is where you hide the good stuff, is it?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47I'm cutting you off.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Excuse me?- Father left a clause in the inheritance.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55It entrusts me with the purse strings, including all real estate holdings.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56I'm invoking it.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Do you think I wanted it to come to this?

0:12:00 > 0:12:01You're out of control.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Drinking, gambling, indulging your basest appetites.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07- This is a lie. - It's all there in black and white.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11As is this.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14It's not too late for you to be saved, Norman.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Please.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Let us pray.

0:12:38 > 0:12:39Is it true?

0:12:41 > 0:12:43SHE SOBS

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Oh!

0:13:31 > 0:13:32All right?

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Trust you to liven up a party.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Poker game still on for next weekend?

0:13:45 > 0:13:48No offence, but right now I don't need the fawnings of a sycophant.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Where's the Reverend? He's going to miss his big moment.- Ah!

0:14:03 > 0:14:04Oh!

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Everything all right?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'll be fine. Can't let my brother's shenanigans ruin the day.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- No.- Thank you for coming.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17My sincerest apologies for the fracas earlier.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19We won't let it spoil things.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23We've been blessed with beautiful weather, and in about

0:14:23 > 0:14:27ten seconds we'll be blessed with the sound of glorious bells.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32ALL: Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

0:14:32 > 0:14:38five, four, three, two, one.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40SILENCE

0:14:50 > 0:14:53BELL CHIMES

0:14:53 > 0:14:55APPLAUSE

0:14:58 > 0:15:00SHE SCREAMS

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Norman! No!

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Oh, sweet Jesus!

0:15:12 > 0:15:13He's dead.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18POLICE BELL

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Looks like a single blow to the head.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27The skull's been crushed like an eggshell.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Fragments of bone driven through the ground and body.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Perhaps you should go inside.

0:15:35 > 0:15:36I'm not going anywhere.

0:15:36 > 0:15:37Search for a weapon.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43Lady Felicia, did you see anyone running away from the scene?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45I can't, um...

0:15:45 > 0:15:46I just...

0:15:49 > 0:15:50It's all right. Take your time.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53I was cleaning my hat.

0:15:55 > 0:16:00I looked out and I saw he was lying there.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05I... I didn't see anyone else.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'm sorry, I think I need to lie down.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Come on.- Yes.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15I'm going to need statements from all of you.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16Who last saw Mr Bohun alive?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Isn't that obvious? The murderer.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28He attacked him less than an hour before

0:16:28 > 0:16:30in front of dozens of witnesses.

0:16:30 > 0:16:31Mr Barnes?

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Mr Barnes, did you do this?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36He got what was coming to him.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Is that a confession?

0:16:38 > 0:16:41You don't need a confession. Look at his head.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Who else could deliver such a blow?

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Inspector.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Is this one of yours?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Yeah.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Simeon Barnes, I'm arresting you

0:17:10 > 0:17:13on suspicion of the murder of Norman Bohun.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15- You are not obliged to say anything...- Wait!

0:17:19 > 0:17:21It was me.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26I did it.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- No.- I'm sorry, Reverend.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30That's not possible.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Look at her. She has neither the strength nor the brutality.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Mrs Barnes, if you're trying to protect your husband...

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I stole the hammer from the forge.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40I crept up behind him.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45And... And I hit him. I swear it, it's true.

0:17:47 > 0:17:48So help me God.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Elizabeth.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Elizabeth Barnes,

0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm arresting you for the murder of Norman Bohun.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so,

0:17:59 > 0:18:01but whatever you say will be taken down in writing

0:18:01 > 0:18:03and may be given in evidence.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24DISTANT THUNDER RUMBLES

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I tried so hard to save him.

0:18:29 > 0:18:30I know.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37I can't believe Elizabeth could do this.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40It had to be Simeon.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'm fond of her, too, but we mustn't allow our emotions to blind us

0:18:43 > 0:18:47to the possibility that she may be guilty.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Not of murder.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Not her. It's not in her nature.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52Even if you're right,

0:18:52 > 0:18:55it doesn't necessarily follow that Simeon is the culprit.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Trust you to look for mysteries

0:18:57 > 0:19:00when the truth's right in front of your eyes.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03I don't so much look for mysteries, as they come looking for me.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07And your penchant for spy novels and crossword puzzles?

0:19:07 > 0:19:09That's forced upon you, is it?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12You may be right.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18But you must admit that your brother had a certain reputation.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20And Simeon Barnes is not the only person

0:19:20 > 0:19:21who'll be glad that he's gone.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Then you admit Elizabeth may be innocent?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I never said otherwise.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Then speak to the inspector.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31You know him better than I do. Tell him.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37I don't think he'll appreciate me interfering.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40When has that stopped you before?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07She says Norman threatened to kill her husband,

0:20:07 > 0:20:09so she got to him first.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Can't get much more out of her than that.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14But she's put her name to it now.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Doesn't mean much if she's lying.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19It does to the prosecuting solicitors.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43It's been one month since my last confession.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50I've had relations outside of marriage.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Twice.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57I thought you and Simeon were happy.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59We were.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Simeon...

0:21:02 > 0:21:04He gambles.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08I found an IOU note for £50.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Poker. We'd lose everything.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14The house...

0:21:16 > 0:21:18I tried to talk to him about it,

0:21:18 > 0:21:21but he told me not to worry, that he'd sort it out.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23Typical man.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28So I went to Norman and I begged him to waive the debt.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32And he agreed...

0:21:33 > 0:21:35..on the condition that I...

0:21:38 > 0:21:40I'm so sorry, Elizabeth.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Is there anything else you wish to confess?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52No.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Then you must tell the inspector.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58I won't see my husband hang.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Norman Bohun had any number of enemies.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Well, until one of them turns up with blood on their hands,

0:22:04 > 0:22:06I won't say anything else.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Anything?

0:22:21 > 0:22:22You know I wish I could tell you.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26How about this?

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Tap your brolly on the floor, once for yes, twice for no.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32You know it's not that simple.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33It's a woman's life.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36And her soul, lest we forget.

0:22:37 > 0:22:38PHONE RINGING

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Inspector...

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Were her fingerprints found on the hammer?

0:22:43 > 0:22:44Oh, no, you don't.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46I'm only trying to help.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Then quid pro quo.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50You see? I know a bit of Latin, too.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52You know I can't.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54I thought you were a renegade.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Hardly. Though I'm flattered you think so.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Then do the heroic thing and tell me what you know.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Then, unless you have information pertinent to this investigation,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06information you can actually share, don't get involved.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Father, which floors do you want me do first? Presbytery or church?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Yes, why not?

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Good morning, Father. Susie.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01I thought I'd make a start on the quarterly accounts.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Don't bother, he's been on moon last few days.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Father Brown?

0:24:06 > 0:24:10Are you all right? You had that look on your face.

0:24:11 > 0:24:12Look?

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Wheels turning.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17You don't usually get that look unless there's something amiss.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19There's nothing amiss. Don't worry.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23So, you're going to the funeral?

0:24:23 > 0:24:24Mm.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Do you really think Mrs Barnes is responsible for...?

0:24:27 > 0:24:28Why do you say that?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34You think that Susie...?

0:24:34 > 0:24:36If you must get it out of me,

0:24:36 > 0:24:40I saw Susie and Norman arguing shortly before he was found murdered.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43And when the inspector asked if anyone saw Norman

0:24:43 > 0:24:46before it happened, she didn't say anything.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49- What were they arguing about? - I...

0:24:54 > 0:24:57I don't know. I think it was about money.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05Even so, Susie's hardly the type to commit cold-blooded murder.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08You only say that because you're so fond of her.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12Do you think I should tell Inspector Valentine?

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Not yet.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I'll speak to Susie myself...

0:25:16 > 0:25:17after the funeral.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31You all right, Wilfred?

0:25:34 > 0:25:37I have some snacks. I'll put them out.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Don't trouble yourself, I'm not staying.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Fine.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Did you speak to Elizabeth?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Yes.- And?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Let's just say I'm investigating.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Always sad when so few people come to pay their respects.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Even for someone like Norman?

0:26:06 > 0:26:10Presumably, you don't think he was a bad sort? Being his friend.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Maybe I'm a bad sort, Father.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Think about that.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19You don't strike me as one.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well, appearances and all that.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Why won't you admit it?

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Your wife is in prison for a crime she didn't commit.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Don't talk to me about my wife.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Do you not fear eternity in hell?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50What, like your brother, you mean? The adulterer?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Cos that's where he is now, isn't he?

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Fire stripping the flesh from his bones.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56An eternity of blistering agony

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Stop it!

0:26:59 > 0:27:01What, two-pronged attack, is it?

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Shall we go inside, Reverend?

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Do you not care about your wife?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07I said don't talk to me about my wife!

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Mr Barnes!

0:27:09 > 0:27:11You see?

0:27:28 > 0:27:29Oh.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Oh, I run out of disinfector.

0:34:48 > 0:34:49How?

0:34:51 > 0:34:52I found out secret.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56Told him he has to pay or I tell.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00You were blackmailing him?

0:35:02 > 0:35:03I tried.

0:35:03 > 0:35:08But he said, "No. Who would believe an immigrant?"

0:35:16 > 0:35:17It wasn't me.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21What was the secret?

0:35:25 > 0:35:29Last month, I arrived early to his house.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32He didn't hear me. I went to his bedroom...

0:35:35 > 0:35:38I can't say it. Not to you.

0:35:38 > 0:35:43Trust me, Susie, there's not much I haven't heard in my line of work.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50He was with a man.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00I spoke to the prosecuting solicitor.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02He won't accept your retraction.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05I'm afraid I have to formally charge you with murder. I'm sorry.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07But she didn't do it.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09As far as the pro sols are concerned, she had means,

0:36:09 > 0:36:11motive, and opportunity.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13As did I and a score of other people.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15But she's the only one who confessed at the scene,

0:36:15 > 0:36:18and subsequently signed a confession.

0:36:18 > 0:36:19So what happens now?

0:36:19 > 0:36:21You argue your case in the assizes.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24But if she loses, then...?

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Then I could hang.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Making good on my promise. - Promise?

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Watching insects devour each other.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Sorry to disappoint you, but these caddisfly tend to

0:36:44 > 0:36:47feed on nectar, and if you don't mind, I prefer to work...

0:36:47 > 0:36:50How many larvae do you think are in this pond?

0:36:50 > 0:36:53A typical mass contains up to 800 eggs.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57800? That's incredible.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03And this particular species forms webs of debris for protection

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Survival of the fittest, eh?

0:37:13 > 0:37:16I spoke to Susie, Norman's housekeeper.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21I don't know what you're talking about.

0:37:21 > 0:37:22She told me what she saw.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29What are you...going to do with this information?

0:37:29 > 0:37:32I have no intention at all to expose you.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34- Has she told anyone else?- No.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36- How can you be sure?! - I know her.

0:37:36 > 0:37:37I'm sure.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39You know what could happen to me?!

0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Please, Mr Walker, calm down. - Calm down?

0:37:42 > 0:37:44You're not the one facing the possibility of arrest

0:37:44 > 0:37:46- and chemical treatments! - Neither are you.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49No-one else knows. No-one else will. Your secret is safe.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53I haven't come here to judge.

0:37:53 > 0:37:54Then why?

0:37:57 > 0:38:00You think I did it?

0:38:00 > 0:38:03Of course. It must be me - the deviant.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07It's a sad fact that many victims are killed

0:38:07 > 0:38:09by the people who are supposed to love them.

0:38:09 > 0:38:10I did love him.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14He could be selfish.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17Cruel.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21But he was always honest. Always...who he was.

0:38:23 > 0:38:24Like a little boy sometimes.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27I would never...

0:38:29 > 0:38:32I know. I'm sorry.

0:38:32 > 0:38:33Thank you.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Did anyone else know about you and Norman?

0:40:25 > 0:40:27In case you haven't noticed, I've had a lot on my mind.

0:40:27 > 0:40:28I did notice.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Where did you get that?

0:40:32 > 0:40:34The hammer? I borrowed it from the forge.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38The gloves, you left up here the other day.

0:40:41 > 0:40:42What are you talking about?

0:40:45 > 0:40:47even to pray, don't you?

0:40:47 > 0:40:50Looking down on the world and all the people in it.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54You came up here to reset the clock...

0:40:56 > 0:40:58..but something disturbed you in your task.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02Something you saw so enraged you...

0:41:02 > 0:41:06- Are you accusing me of...? - Yes.

0:41:06 > 0:41:07I'm afraid I am.

0:41:07 > 0:41:08How dare you!

0:41:08 > 0:41:10You will tell the truth.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13If, afterwards, you choose to walk away without telling a soul,

0:41:13 > 0:41:16I won't stop you. Your secret is safe with me.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18I give you my word on that.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21But you will tell the truth. Here and now.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27You're far too tactile, Father.

0:41:27 > 0:41:28Has anyone ever told you that?

0:41:34 > 0:41:35The sanctity of confession.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40I purge myself, you let me go Scot free.

0:41:44 > 0:41:45You're a fool.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50I don't mind playing the fool, if it leads me to the truth.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58Yes, I took the hammer.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11My only intention was to reset the clock.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21- FROM OUTSIDE:- Poker game still on for next weekend?

0:42:26 > 0:42:30No offence, but right now, I don't need the fawnings of a sycophant.

0:42:31 > 0:42:32What do you need?

0:43:08 > 0:43:10I could forgive him almost anything.

0:43:10 > 0:43:13Lust, avarice, even murder.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17But not that.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48And so, in a burst of pure passion...

0:43:50 > 0:43:53'..the hammer flew from my hand.'

0:43:54 > 0:43:59It felt so good, because I knew my hand was guided.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02I was but a vessel of the Lord's will.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59But it was by God's hands, not mine.

0:44:59 > 0:45:00I shall not repent.

0:45:01 > 0:45:05- Yes, but why the guilty conscience? - I have no such thing.

0:45:05 > 0:45:07It's why you didn't reset the clock,

0:45:07 > 0:45:10because you couldn't face coming to the scene of the crime.

0:45:10 > 0:45:14I answer to one higher power and He will judge me righteous.

0:45:14 > 0:45:18Righteous? Using His name to justify your malice?

0:45:18 > 0:45:19No.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22Your actions were yours and yours alone.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24Look into your heart, you know it's true.

0:45:26 > 0:45:30Thank you for the counsel, Father. I'll be leaving now.

0:45:30 > 0:45:32You can still be saved.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35And so can Elizabeth.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39Is it God's will that she hangs for your crime?

0:45:39 > 0:45:41They'll see she's innocent.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43Are you willing to take that chance?

0:45:43 > 0:45:44God will save her.

0:45:44 > 0:45:48God is not your scapegoat!

0:45:55 > 0:45:59If you have a shred of conscience left in you,

0:45:59 > 0:46:01you will do the right thing.

0:46:12 > 0:46:13You're right, Father.

0:46:16 > 0:46:17I'm a wicked man.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23You can be saved if that's what you want.

0:46:30 > 0:46:32HORN BEEPS

0:46:42 > 0:46:44You've done the right thing.

0:47:02 > 0:47:04I'll ride with him, if I may.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06I owe you that much.

0:47:16 > 0:47:18- Morning.- Morning.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Lady Felicia, you look positively radiant.

0:47:29 > 0:47:30- Good morning.- Good morning.

0:47:30 > 0:47:35- Susie.- What you think I've done now? Chopped off somebody's head?

0:47:35 > 0:47:39By way of an apology for thinking you were a murderer

0:47:39 > 0:47:43I got one of the girls at the camp to teach me how to make it.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51Mmm. Not bad, for old English woman.

0:47:51 > 0:47:55Irish! Oh, and thank you, I suppose.

0:47:55 > 0:47:58If you like, I could teach you how to make
