Mr Leonard, sir! | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
Sahib? Sahib? | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Sahib! | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
What is it? | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
What do you want? | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
I was pruning the hedges in the garden, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
and I saw something terrible. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Mr Leonard, I'm afraid you are going to die today. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |

Thank you! | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
-How many more? -Just a half dozen. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
Lady Felicia. You do look a picture. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
Father Brown. Mrs McCarthy. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-I'm not interrupting anything, am I? -Not at all. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
Only I wondered if you'd care to accompany me to a poetry recital? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
I know it's short notice, but the host specifically requested your presence. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Indeed, he was quite insistent. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Father Brown is in the middle of auditions. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Which, I'm sure, can wait. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
Who, might I ask, is the host? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
One of her highfalutin cronies, I shouldn't wonder. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
-Mr Quinton. -Mmm. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Not Leonard Quinton? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Mm-hmm. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
I've always enjoyed a nice sonnet. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
Especially that Greek one. The one about the vase. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Urn. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
If you will. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
Did Mr Quinton say why he wanted me to attend? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
I'm afraid he's a peculiar man of very few words. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
I don't like to gossip, but rumour has it he's lost his marbles. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
Have you met the wife? Is it true she never leaves the house? | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
And that he keeps an Indian hermit? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
Like you, I don't like to gossip. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Hello! | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
She's very young. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
Welcome. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
It's such an honour to meet you. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
I wanted to go to your finishing school, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
but Papa told me you'd have nothing to teach me. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
On account of my own natural grace. Not your instruction. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
Is that Christian Dior? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
His designs are so flattering for mature women, aren't they? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
Lady Felicia. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Your husband is a very good client. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
I try not to get involved with my husband's business affairs. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
Better to enjoy the spoils. I'm sure you've earned it. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
What a delightful home. Such curious artefacts. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Yes. Lenny will be so pleased you could make it. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
We're very much looking forward to meeting him, aren't we, Mrs McCarthy? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Yes, and I'm delighted to make your acquaintance, Mrs Quinton. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
Oh! No, Lenny and I aren't married. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
Not yet, anyway. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
Come, do follow me. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Oh, I'm afraid the train from Paddington was cancelled, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
so it's going to be a rather intimate gathering. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
I'm ashamed to say that Violet is Leonard's mistress, | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
and almost as insufferable as he is. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
How very French. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
Mrs Quinton. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
And the great man himself! | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
Namaste. Thank you all so much for coming. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
I realise our domestic arrangements might seem a little odd, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
but I assure you they are mutually agreeable. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
Do take a seat. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
May I have a quick word first? | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
I must confess I'm intrigued to why you've invited me here today. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
I'm not known for my literary prowess. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
And you clearly look East for spiritual guidance. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
She had a smile that used to light up the room. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
Mr Quinton, is there something you'd like to share with me? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
CAT MEOWS | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
I would like you to look after my wife, Father, | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
if anything should happen to me. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
She's one of yours. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
But I'm afraid she's lost her way a little. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
You have my word. I will help her to God's counsel in any way I can. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
But what do you imagine is going to happen to you? | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Let's not waste no more time, shall we? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
Violet, my dear. Perhaps you'd like to begin? | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
...aadhaaranilayah, adhaataa, pushpahaasah, prajaagarah, | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
oordhvagah, satpathaachaarah, praanadah... | 0:06:47 | 0:06:53 | |
Entwined in the long grass, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
sun freckling buttocks, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
The last thing on our minds are priests in cassocks. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:09 | |
My pulse races as he traces his finger | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
'cross creamy white skin, with a lovely linger. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
'Twas as if we were otters, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
frolicking as hot as a great ball of fire | 0:07:22 | 0:07:28 | |
in the wet sand. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
Oh, yes! | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
YES! | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
I cry to the skies with quivering thighs. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:46 | |
It doesn't seem wise to dwell on the lies. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
But my heart goes cold, | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
and I can't help but fidget, | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
As the band of gold I spy wrapped around his digit. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:05 | |
Alas! Alack! | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
There's no going back. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
Till she loosen the noose and cut him loose. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:21 | |
Forever. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
..paapa-naashanah, samkha-bhrit, nandakee, chakree, shaarnga-dhanvaa, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:40 | |
gadaadharah, rathaanga-paanih, akshobhyah, sarva-praharanaayudhah. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
It slithers out white, | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
sticky. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
Lump meets stump. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
Blood pumping, thumping. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
Bone against bone. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
Howls crunching. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Retch. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
If I could. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
If I hadn't. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
If you were. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Hands. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
No, feet. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
Clasping air. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Gasp in pain. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
Unfurled. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
Horror swaddled in twisted crimson ribbons. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:43 | |
Vomiting love. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Self-pity. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Shame. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
Please excuse me. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-What was that about? -Sssh! -And why were we invited to witness it? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
We weren't all invited. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
You mustn't look. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
Lenny hasn't let me see it yet and I sat for him for hours. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
In my birthday suit! | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Your father must be very proud. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
Forgive me, is Mr Quinton in poor health? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
Not physically. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:56 | |
Only these are academic medical text books. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
He's a man. Ergo a hypochondriac. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
Lenny used to be a Doctor. He had a practice on Harley Street. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:07 | |
-Please don't mention it to him. He gets very upset. -I can't imagine why. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
It's his behaviour since that brings him into disrepute. The man's a buffoon. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
He's talking about converting the stables into a levitation centre, for goodness sake! | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
Meditation centre, based on the teachings of Krishna, Shankara | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
and the yoga sutras of Patanjali. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Is he a client of yours, too? | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
I don't have to like my clients to do my job. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
Though I'd never have taken him on if it weren't for his wife. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Martha and I are old family friends. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-Mrs Quinton! -I'm quite all right, thank you, Father. -You're shaking. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-I said I'm fine! It's Leonard that's feeling a little out of sorts. -Poor Lenny! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
-Mr Harris, could you take our guests for a stroll round the garden while he takes a nap? -Of course. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
I'll make sure tea arrives promptly upon your return. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
-I'll wait here, in case Lenny wakes and calls for me. -Do what you like. -Shouldn't we call a doctor? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
No, that won't be necessary. He's just a little tired. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Perhaps I might speak with Mr Quinton privately? | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
No, he explicitly asked to be left alone. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
A walk would be lovely. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:08 | |
-A breath of fresh air will do us all the world of good. -Do follow me. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
I gather they have an extremely rare collection of tropical plants! | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
I wish my Parson's Pink would repeat-flower like that. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:30 | |
The Quintons have an odd relationship, don't you think? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
It's none of my business. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
Who's the Indian gentleman? | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
Martha calls him the gardener. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:39 | |
Leonard calls him his spiritual advisor. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
I call him a fake and extortionist. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
Oh? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
He brought him back from his trip to the Raj. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
Parades him round like an exotic pet. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
No doubt he's brainwashed Leonard out of thousands, | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
promising to ward off evil spirits in return for a small fee. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
Corruption's endemic in their culture, I'm afraid. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
Have you been to India? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
I couldn't care less how Mr Quinton fritters away his money. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
I dare say his wife might have something to say about that. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
His wife seems curiously silent on a number of subjects, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
the sort of woman who does her duty for 20 years and then does something dreadful. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
If she did, could you blame her? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Come, we need to stick together. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
Now, what is this one called? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
It looks like oleander but I think it's something far more unusual. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:11 | |
I don't think this is a proper path. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
I think we must have taken a wrong turn. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
And if I am not mistaken, all the plants in this bed are poisonous. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
How horrible. Oh! | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
Lady Felicia! | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
I tripped over that and I've broken my heel! | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
Mangy beast. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
All ears and fleas. Martha always hated that cat. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
What's this? | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
Poor creature. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
All creation, O Lord, is in your care. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
Give us eyes to see that every living creature speaks to us of your love. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
Amen. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:51 | |
I think I may need some help. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
Looks like a bad sprain. I'll go and fetch the first aid kit. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
And what are we supposed to do in the meantime? | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
I looked at your painting. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
Well? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
Say something! | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
I gave up everything for you! | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
You're never going to leave her, are you? | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
I hope you rot to death in hell! | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
I thought we'd never find our way back. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
Well, if you will wear those ridiculous shoes. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
Was it a poem, or an instrument of torture? | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
And about time too! | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
Sorry I took so long. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
Aaaah! | 0:16:01 | 0:16:02 | |
Stand back. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
Is everything OK? I thought I heard... Aaaah! | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
Mrs McCarthy. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Lenny! | 0:16:38 | 0:16:39 | |
SHE CRIES | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
It seems he left a note. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
Umesh, will you call the police, please? | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Wheresover the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:28 | |
Gospel of Matthew if I'm not mistaken. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
And you're always complaining I'm after your job. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
Milk, one sugar. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
That's how Lenny liked it. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
Thank you. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
We found this on the conservatory bench, Inspector. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
Not the most illuminating final missive. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Mrs Quinton, can you confirm this is your husband's handwriting? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
-Please accept my condolences. If there's anything... -Nothing. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:02 | |
Death has been certified. Could you show the doctor out? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
Shall we join the countess in the study? | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
I'm sure Inspector Valentine has everything in hand. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
What a perfectly awful day. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
You think he might have waited till after we'd gone. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
He was worried how his wife would cope by herself. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
She barely seems to have noticed. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
I imagine that was Father Brown's point. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
This is a very fine oolong. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
Such a shame the pot wasn't warmed before pouring in water. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
Next time you can make it yourself. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
Though, of course, that would involve setting foot in a kitchen. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
I wonder what made such a distinguished man of science throw off medicine. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
Maybe something happened on his trip to India. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
How long did you say you'd known him? | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
I didn't. Truth be told, I only met him a fortnight ago. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
We were introduced at a charity gala in London. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
He was with that Hindu fellow, I think. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
I'm afraid I don't remember our conversation quite so well | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
as the headache I had the following morning. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
Really, you'd think I'd be used to champagne by now. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
I need find Inspector Valentine. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
No, perhaps I should talk to the Hindu gentleman in private first. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
Yes. Best to have all the facts. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
Mrs McCarthy, would you round everybody up and bring them to the drawing room? | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
I have something very important to tell you all. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
I'll explain shortly. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
But no-one must leave. And no-one must be left on their own! | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |

I don't believe we've been introduced. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
My name is Father Brown. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
Umesh Varma. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
I used to be a tour guide at the Botanical Gardens in Cochin. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
It's where I first met Leonard. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
I understand you and Leonard were good friends. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
He was a good man. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
A kind man. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
But I'm afraid his soul was in torment. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
Did you discover the cause of his sorrow? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
Mr Leonard was a very private man. I would never betray a confidence. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
Did Martha and Leonard lose a child? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
May I ask what business it is of yours? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
Leonard asked me to look after his wife. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
By poking round his house and digging up the past? | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
I only want to uncover the truth. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:11 | |
The truth is not always black and white. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
It's over. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
Why can't you leave it at that? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
I'm told you have some important information to share. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
I think we'd all agree Mr Quinton was a deeply troubled man. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:41 | |
Married to her? Who can blame him? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
The woman's not human. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
You could cut off her head, she wouldn't bat an eyelid. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
Some people are simply able to keep their emotions in check. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
Please understand the last thing I want to do | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
in these awful circumstances is to cause you further distress. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
Get to the point, please, Father. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
I'm afraid Mr Quinton could not have hanged himself. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
But we saw it. He even left a note! | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
Go on. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
Leonard was left-handed, as evidenced by | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
the slope of his handwriting and the arrangement of his desk. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
Yes. And? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
The knot of rope around Mr Quinton's neck was tied right over left. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
I don't understand. What are you saying? | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
He's saying Leonard was murdered. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
We need a pathologist here as soon as possible. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
I want the conservatory locked and an officer outside both sets of doors. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
Search the grounds for anything suspicious. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
-No doubt you have theories. -A number of theories... | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
And I'm grateful for your insight so far. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
But from now this is a murder investigation, | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
so perhaps you could leave the questions to me. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
Mrs Quinton, | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
did you and your husband have any children? | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
No. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
So I assume you're the main beneficiary in your husband's will? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Murderer! It's obvious it was her. She hated him. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:14 | |
-She's not the only one. -I'll be interviewing everyone in due course | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
so you'll have ample opportunity to express your opinions. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
Mrs Quinton, could you answer the question, please? | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
I believe he planned to leave me the house. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
And the rest of his fortune? | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
I'm afraid Mr Quinton recently altered his will | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
and bequeathed the rest of his fortune to Mr Varma. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
Our gardener. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Mr Varma, if you'll permit the observation, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
you didn't seem surprised to come upon Leonard's body this morning. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
That's because I knew Leonard was going to die. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
And how could you possibly know that? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
I had a vision. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
A vision? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Well, not a vision exactly. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
It came to me more as a colour, | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
when I was pruning the hedges this morning. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
And I saw the othalanga in bloom. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Oh, that's the name of it! | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
Also known as the Suicide Tree, | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
because its kernels are deadly poisonous. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
As soon as I saw it in flower, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
I knew he was going to die today. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:21 | |
Just as I know this priest will uncover how and why | 0:24:23 | 0:24:27 | |
and that the truth will be sadder still. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
You don't believe me? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
I believe there is normally a rational explanation | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
for the phenomenal. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:36 | |
So how do you explain your bible? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
Didn't Jesus walk on water? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
Feed thousands with a single loaf of bread? | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
I also believe the world becomes a very dangerous place | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
when we interpret holy scripture too literally. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
But there are so many things that happen which we cannot explain. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
If you'll excuse me, please. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
So you're telling me you have the gift of second sight? | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
I wouldn't call it a gift, no. I'm a spiritual man. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
Did you know Mr Quinton was planning to bequeath you his fortune? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
Yes. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
-And what were you planning to do with the money? -Give it to charity. -A likely story. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
I found this washed up by the lake, sir. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
What is it? Some kind of effigy? | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
I was saying Vishnu Sahasranama for Leonard. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
In English? | 0:26:10 | 0:26:11 | |
It's a prayer to invoke the thousand names of Vishnu. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
Leonard was teaching me... | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
I believe we all have a thousand names. A thousand guises. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
Where were you between 11 and 12 this morning? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
I was in the kitchen making pinda. Rice ball offerings. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
To nourish Leonard's soul on it's onward journey. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
-Before he was actually dead. -Yes. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
While someone next door murdered him? | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
So it would seem. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
Oh, I've heard it all now! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
I saw the headstone this morning. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
Please accept my sincerest condolences. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
It has been 16 months since my last confession. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:15 | |
Mr Varma, I am arresting you on suspicion of murder. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so, | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
-but whatever you say will be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence. -Wait! | 0:27:20 | 0:27:25 | |
She died a year ago today. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
Her name was Olivia. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
You have her photograph in your locket? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
A lock of her hair. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
We didn't take any photographs. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
She was handed to me in a blanket, so all I could see was her face. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
Her beautiful face. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
But when the midwife brought me a cup of tea a few minutes later, | 0:28:11 | 0:28:16 | |
I remember her hands shaking. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
And then I looked at Leonard, | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
and realised something was terribly, terribly wrong. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
She was born grotesquely deformed. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:37 | |
Some limbs missing, | 0:28:39 | 0:28:43 | |
others the wrong shape. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
Leonard never said a word. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
Couldn't even look at me. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
He ran off to India before I was discharged from hospital. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
I couldn't bear for her to be gossiped about, | 0:28:59 | 0:29:05 | |
paraded through medical circles like some monstrous curiosity, | 0:29:05 | 0:29:12 | |
so I decided to keep her secret. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:17 | |
I gave up the London flat and I moved here permanently. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
Leonard came back three months afterwards, and she... | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
..died a few hours later. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:40 | |
It was as if she had been waiting for him. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
We buried her in the garden, and then we went our separate ways... | 0:29:49 | 0:29:54 | |
..albeit under the same roof for appearance's sake. | 0:29:56 | 0:30:00 | |
We never talked about her again. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
I didn't even know he still thought about her until this morning. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:15 | |
The poem. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
I thought he was deliberately trying to hurt me. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
I realise now that | 0:30:20 | 0:30:25 | |
that was the only way he could express himself. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:27 | |
I thought he was under arrest? | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
Lady Felicia has belatedly recalled hearing Mr Varma speak publicly | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
about his plans to set up a leprosy charity | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
whilst at a gala in London. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
So? | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
Whilst it doesn't explain how he predicted Mr Quinton's death | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
hours before it occurred, it does cast doubt on his motives. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:56 | |
Unless he murdered Lenny to save the lepers? | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
Does this mean we can't go home? | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
I'm afraid so. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:07 | |
I understand Mr Harris, Father Brown, Mrs McCarthy and Lady Felicia | 0:31:10 | 0:31:14 | |
were on a tour of the gardens between 11 and 12 this morning. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:19 | |
Miss Parnassus, where were you? | 0:31:20 | 0:31:24 | |
-I was in here. -All the time? | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
-Yes! -She's lying. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
I heard her in the study. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
She and Leonard were arguing. Very heatedly, in fact. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
She was furious with him for not leaving his wife. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
If I remember correctly, she wanted him to rot to death in hell. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:45 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
Miss Parnassus? | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
We... | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
We had an argument, | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
and I said some very silly things. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
I'm a passionate woman! | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
And how did you overhear all of this if you were in the garden? | 0:32:06 | 0:32:10 | |
I came back to fetch the first aid kit when Lady Felicia twisted her ankle. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
In any case, how could I possibly have strung him up like that? | 0:32:13 | 0:32:18 | |
Mr Quinton wasn't a large man. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
I imagine whoever killed him used the trolley we found | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
collapsed at the scene to move his body, climbed the conservatory benches | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
and attached one end of the curtain cord to the plant hook in the ceiling, | 0:32:27 | 0:32:31 | |
tied the other round his neck | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
and then pushed the trolley over to make it look like suicide. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
It could have been any one of you. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
Even you, Mr Harris. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
-Don't be ridiculous. -You hated him as much as she did. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
It's no secret I never liked the man | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
but what could I possibly stand to gain from his death? | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
When I confronted Leonard after the recital, | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
he told me that Olivia's condition was his fault. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:03 | |
It took us a long time to conceive. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:14 | |
And I suffered very badly with morning sickness. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
I was terrified I was going to miscarry, so he prescribed me | 0:33:17 | 0:33:21 | |
a new drug he'd heard about on a trip to Germany. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
He wasn't able to prove anything, but he was convinced that's what caused her birth defects. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:29 | |
Which is why he gave up medicine. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
Must have made you very angry. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
Worse than that. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
I felt relieved. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:47 | |
Because if it was his fault... | 0:33:49 | 0:33:52 | |
Then perhaps it wasn't mine. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
Beginner's luck. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:08 | |
Oh, is that what you call it? | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
One doesn't need extrasensory perception to predict your moves. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
You're always on the defence and you've got too many men round the edges. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
We'll need to take formal statements from everyone | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
while we wait for the pathologist's report. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
Perhaps we might use the study? | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
How is she? | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
Mrs McCarthy, what's the botanical name of the Suicide Tree? | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
Cerbera Odollam. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
Inspector, would it be possible to have another look at the body? | 0:34:42 | 0:34:46 | |
Yes, very likely. Thank you, sergeant. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:25 | |
The pathologist will need to confirm, of course, | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
but I think I've spotted traces of toxic white sap | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
on Mr Quinton's clothes, | 0:35:39 | 0:35:41 | |
which, I'm almost certain we'll discover, | 0:35:41 | 0:35:44 | |
is from the othalanga tree. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
And didn't the dead cat have something white and sticky on its paws? | 0:35:46 | 0:35:50 | |
-Didn't you say Mrs Quinton hated that cat? -That's hearsay. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
-Nevertheless... -I knew it was her! I knew it! | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
She has no alibi and an established motive. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
-I'd like to examine her clothes. -She'll hang for this! | 0:36:00 | 0:36:04 | |
It had nothing to do with her! | 0:36:04 | 0:36:06 | |
Or with toxic sap. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
How can you be so certain? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
Because it was me. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:14 | |
I murdered Leonard Quinton. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
Are you sure? | 0:36:18 | 0:36:20 | |
After I left you in the garden, I went back to the house | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
and waited till Violet left the study and Leonard fell asleep. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
Then I came up behind him and strangled him with a curtain cord. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:33 | |
The rest happened exactly as you surmised. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
You forged the suicide note? | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
The study was littered with his scrawlings. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
He'd fallen asleep near a notebook. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
I simply tore out a sheet of paper and copied his hand. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
Inspector, as far as I'm aware, | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
it is impossible to arrest a man for killing a corpse. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:56 | |
I beg your pardon? | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
Mr Harris, I'm afraid when you returned to the house, | 0:37:00 | 0:37:03 | |
you were in such a hurry to kill Mr Quinton, | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
you failed to notice that he was already dead. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
What? | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
The notebook you mentioned, you took it with you, I presume? | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
If you hadn't been in such a hurry to forge a suicide note, | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
you might have found the one he'd already written. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
It's my belief that Mr Leonard Quinton poisoned himself | 0:37:22 | 0:37:27 | |
by ingesting kernels from the Suicide Tree. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:31 | |
Possibly after experimenting with the correct dosage on his pet cat. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:36 | |
"I deeply regret the pain and suffering I have caused my wife | 0:37:38 | 0:37:42 | |
"and no longer wish to punish her with my presence. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:45 | |
"Please forgive my cowardice and help her to a better life." | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
I thought he loved me! | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
Darling, men are duplicitous and fickle. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
Better you learn that now, while there's still time. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
Until the post mortem, we can't be certain that Mr Quinton was already dead when he strangled him. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:02 | |
Therefore, Mr Harris, I am arresting you on suspicion of murder. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:07 | |
You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so, | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
but whatever you do say will be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:16 | |
If you hated him this much, | 0:38:16 | 0:38:18 | |
why were you always making excuses to come round? | 0:38:18 | 0:38:23 | |
Am I the only one who noticed how often he looked at Martha? | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
How quick he was to defend her? | 0:38:26 | 0:38:28 | |
I thought if I didn't kill him, she would. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:32 | |
At least I'd have the sense to cover it up. Or try. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:36 | |
And then after a decent interval I could tell her how I felt and... | 0:38:37 | 0:38:42 | |
What made you think she was capable of murder? | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
She pathologically hated her husband. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:49 | |
Shuddered when he so much as looked at her. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
Then there was the dead cat. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
And when I thought about how fiercely she insisted | 0:38:53 | 0:38:56 | |
Leonard needed a nap, and the medication she'd been hoarding... | 0:38:56 | 0:39:00 | |
What medication? | 0:39:00 | 0:39:02 | |
I discovered this morning. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
She'd been stock-piling her sleeping pills. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
May we have a moment alone, please, Inspector? | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
Every time I looked at him, I saw her face. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:41 | |
I can't tell you how often | 0:39:43 | 0:39:44 | |
I wished I'd never have to set eyes upon him again. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:48 | |
And yet now he's gone... | 0:39:48 | 0:39:51 | |
..it's like losing her all over again. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
Because, despite everything, you still loved him. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:00 | |
If you've got all the answers, give me one good reason why I shouldn't swallow these pills. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:05 | |
The fact you asked the question must stand for something. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:07 | |
So you're not going to try and tell me everything happens for a reason? That this is God's will? | 0:40:07 | 0:40:13 | |
I don't know why your daughter died. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
And I don't know why God let it happen. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
Then what do you know?! | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
I know that God knows what it is to lose a child. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:26 | |
And that he is standing next to you. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
And that he can't stop you suffering, but that he loves you | 0:40:29 | 0:40:34 | |
and he loves your daughter. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
And if you let him into your heart you will see Olivia again. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
I've never heard anyone say her name out loud before. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:56 | |
-Olivia. -Again. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
-Olivia. -Again. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
Olivia. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:07 | |
SHE CRIES | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
Mr Varma. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
I'm sorry I misjudged you. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
Leonard told you about his daughter's condition, didn't he? | 0:41:28 | 0:41:32 | |
You can stay with me until you've had a chance to talk to your parents. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
Natural grace, indeed. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:54 | |
You fixed it! | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
You obviously were never in the girl guides. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
Always fancied the boy scouts myself. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
Hop in. We'll give you a lift home. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:12 | |
Thank you, that's kind, but Father Brown... | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
The inspector's already offered to give him a lift home in his. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
-Erm... I'm not sure... -You'd rather walk? | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
THUNDERCLAP | 0:42:21 | 0:42:23 | |
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take the weight off my bunions. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:27 | |
And your chauffeur must be crying out | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
for some intelligent conversation. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:37 | |
ENGINE STARTS | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
How is she? | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
Upstairs, sleeping. Umesh will take good care of her. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:50 | |
If the post mortem confirms Mr Quinton was poisoned, | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
we'll have to let him go. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
Mr Harris will always be a prisoner of his conscience. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
For a few weeks, maybe. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
Then he'll have forgotten the whole thing, or edited and refined | 0:43:01 | 0:43:04 | |
what happened till his conduct is no longer in question. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
God created man in his own image. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:09 | |
It's my vocation to remind people of that. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:13 | |
Even the atheists? | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
Especially the atheists. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:17 | |
"Play, smile. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:28 | |
"Think of me, pray for me. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:32 | |
"Let my name be spoken without effort, | 0:43:32 | 0:43:35 | |
"without the ghost of a shadow upon it. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:39 | |
"Life means all that it ever meant. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:42 | |
"It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:48 | |
"Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? | 0:43:48 | 0:43:53 | |
"I am but waiting for you. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
"For an interval, somewhere very near, | 0:43:56 | 0:44:01 | |
"just round the corner. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:03 | |
"All is well." | 0:44:03 | 0:44:06 | |
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:23 | |
Domine, exaudi vocem meam. | 0:44:23 | 0:44:25 | |
Fiant aures tuae intendentes, in vocem deprecationis meae. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:29 | |
Goodbye. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:31 | |
Si iniquitates observabis Domine, Domine quis sustinebit. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:37 | |
Quia apud te propitiatio est propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:44 | |
