0:00:31 > 0:00:33MAN MOANING

0:00:37 > 0:00:38Hello?

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hello?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55SHE SCREAMS

0:00:55 > 0:00:56HE GROANS

0:00:56 > 0:00:58SHE SCREAMS

0:01:40 > 0:01:43It'll be nice having a German visiting.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Very nice indeed.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- I'm sure he'll know where he is without the flag.- Oh!

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Sid?!

0:01:59 > 0:02:00Father, I think that's him.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Father Franc, I presume? Father Brown.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Mrs McCarthy, parish secretary. Welcome.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Good morning.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Bishop Talbot sends his apologies.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15He did so want to meet you himself

0:02:15 > 0:02:18but, unfortunately, a diocesan matter came up.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20NOT that he resents Germans.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25So, ich bin dein host!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Ah...

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- danke schon. - Father, English, please.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Shall we?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40WHISTLE BLOWS

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Who'd have thought it, the train was on time!

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Ja, I heard it's quite a rarity in England.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Our trains run like clockwork, actually, Father.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Ja, of course,

0:02:54 > 0:02:56and we have Britain to thank for the Industrial Revolution.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Yes.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Such a pity so many of our great factories were destroyed.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05I think I should warn you that the war is still a painful memory

0:03:05 > 0:03:07for some of our parishioners.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11No-one blames you personally, of course.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14We are very excited about your Mass for Peace on Tuesday...

0:03:14 > 0:03:15are you?

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Are you excited, Father Franc?

0:03:20 > 0:03:21My Gott!

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35I just heard this...moaning...

0:03:35 > 0:03:37and there he was.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Father Brown, thank heavens you're here.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42This is a crime scene.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45It's all right, they're with me.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50He's still alive. Your presence is not required.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Although I suspect...

0:03:56 > 0:03:58..if you check...

0:03:58 > 0:04:01you'll find a carriage with a shattered window.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04The proximity to the viaduct hadn't escaped me.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08Stripped? On a train?! What WAS he up to?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Any clues as to who he is?- No.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Now, I really must ask you to leave

0:04:16 > 0:04:18and please take your colleague with you.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Perhaps a nice cup of tea?

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Father...what if he dies without being identified?

0:04:30 > 0:04:33I'm sure the inspector will do all he can.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37But what if he has a family out there, worried sick about him?

0:04:37 > 0:04:38We'll be late for mass.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Father Franc has travelled all the way from Germany to visit us.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Is that what they call an invasion these days?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54His parishioners in Berlin bear many of the scars

0:04:54 > 0:04:55that have marked our families.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59I trust you will all attend his Mass for Peace on Tuesday.

0:05:01 > 0:05:07- And let's not forget Father Franc's welcome soiree this evening.- Mm!

0:05:09 > 0:05:12A seasonal buffet will be provided.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Ah, Annie, welcome back.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18I'm so glad you could join us today.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Don't be...I only come to get up people's noses.

0:05:23 > 0:05:30- A month in prison has once again failed to reform that woman.- Yes.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34Well, Annie's life has not been blessed with opportunity.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Well, that's hardly an excuse for...

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Yes, Mrs McCarthy?

0:05:41 > 0:05:42..bad manners.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44No, of course not...

0:05:45 > 0:05:47..but it does explain her prostitution.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54God bless, Father.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- I noticed you were on the train this morning.- Yes?

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Did you spot anything suspicious in your journey?- No.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04I slept the whole way. If you'll excuse me, Father.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Annie!

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Oh.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Prison food make you thin again.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13I finish cleaning and I cook for you.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Never offered to cook for me!

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Cos you eat with your mouth open.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23Have you seen who's staying at the presbytery? Lucky girl.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Susie, no, you don't want to...

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Are you Father Brown's guest? Hello. I'm Susie, his housekeeper.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Guten morgen, erm... Morning. Pleased to meet you.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Susie, I said...

0:06:37 > 0:06:41So...now I scrub floor for Germans?

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Poland help you to win war and...

0:06:44 > 0:06:47right now I see Poland means nothing to you people.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Well, I didn't... Hang on a second, Susie!- Sid!

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Oh, brilliant(!)- May have a word?

0:06:53 > 0:06:54SID SIGHS

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Do you know this man?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58If you paid your artist, I might do.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Hm.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05I hear you were on the train. Did you see anything suspicious?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07I did see Annie Mace coming out of first class.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I suspect she didn't have a ticket.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Hm! A man was pushed from the first class carriage.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Where did Annie get to? - Um, she was here a moment ago.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Right, I'll need a witness statement.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Any chance we could just forget what I just said?

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Annie has problems with the police. Perhaps I should speak to her?

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Best to keep out of the investigation, eh, Father?

0:07:31 > 0:07:33HE SIGHS

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Mrs McCarthy?- Oh.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39The Good Samaritan.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41There's a parable I hold dear.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49All alone, Father. Who is he?

0:07:52 > 0:07:55The body carries a thousand clues.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57The red mark on your nose

0:07:57 > 0:08:01tells me you were reading into the early hours.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Well, it's true.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05The Gospel of Luke never fails to enthral.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11I expect Bill has a wife somewhere, worried to death.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Bill?

0:08:13 > 0:08:14I had to give him a name.

0:08:16 > 0:08:21Now, I promised Mrs Murphy a light tea before this soiree.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Her majesty's buffet fare agrees with neither of us.

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Father?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30I need to speak to Annie Mace.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Oh, what about this one?

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Lubie twoj usmiech.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41SUSIE LAUGHS

0:08:41 > 0:08:44What?! What are you laughing at? I just said, "I like your smile."

0:08:44 > 0:08:46- In which language?- Ooh-hoo!

0:08:46 > 0:08:50I'm going to make you your own little bit of Poland, just like home.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Listen, why don't you go see Annie? Eh?

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Her lady prison yarns are always a good laugh.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06No, I do my job properly.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Since when?- Sid, please.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18I'd stay out of her way, if I was you.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27So where in Poland are you from?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'm just here to clean. All right?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38I was hoping it might take more than a few hours

0:09:38 > 0:09:39before I saw you, Annie.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41No, you weren't. You love it.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46A witness saw you leave the first class carriage in distress.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48I didn't budge from the delights of third class.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50A man was pushed from the first class carriage

0:09:50 > 0:09:53shortly before the train reached Kembleford.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Let's cut to the chase, Inspector...

0:09:55 > 0:09:58we both know you've only brought me here for one thing.

0:09:58 > 0:10:03You do realise you're a suspect in an attempted murder investigation?

0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Ten years ago, you...- THAT was self defence and you know it.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I won't be made the scapegoat for this.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- KNOCK ON DOOR - Your weekly visitor, sir.- Oh!

0:10:12 > 0:10:13He says it's urgent.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26We gave Micky Spratt a ticking off.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29His mum says he won't be drawing rude things on your cart again.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30I was on that train.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Is there something you'd like to tell me, Christy?- Not especially.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38I was in third class.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I didn't see anything suspicious.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Right...thank you.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Christy, did you happen to see Annie Mace at all?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54I was worried because she was sitting close by.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57You hear stories about her pinching stuff.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Did she leave the carriage or seem distressed?

0:11:00 > 0:11:03No. She didn't leave her seat once.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- We've a witness who's certain she did.- I'm very sure she didn't.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09So my witness is lying then?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17I feel certain Bill is a good Christian man.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19The look of peace that came over his face

0:11:19 > 0:11:21when I read to him from Corinthians.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Are you quite sure? He was found almost naked.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Have you seen Annie at all?

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Not yet.- Oh, she'll be here. - Hello, how are you?

0:11:29 > 0:11:32One whiff of free food and she's like a rat up a drainpipe.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Oh, talk of the devil.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Unlike Miss Mace to be free of an evening!

0:11:38 > 0:11:42So nice of Lady Felicia to wheel out the old folk before they die.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Oh!

0:11:43 > 0:11:47If Mrs McCarthy had soiree the only guests would be her and a cat!

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- THEY LAUGH - How lovely you both look.- Liar.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Annie, Sid tells me you may have witnessed something

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- in the first class carriage.- No.

0:11:57 > 0:12:02- The man in tree? Are you a witness?- Course not!

0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Maybe you could speak to her? - Why is everyone pointing finger?

0:12:06 > 0:12:10She was so nice to me when I come here. She would not push man.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Remember your promise.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29GLASS RINGS

0:12:29 > 0:12:36Ladies and gentlemen, our most welcome German guest, Father Franc!

0:12:44 > 0:12:48thank you for this wonderful, um... soiree, Lady Felicia.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Hear, hear!

0:12:50 > 0:12:54And thank you all for welcoming me to your beautiful country.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Has he seen Coventry? Hm?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Well, thank you for coming and...

0:13:00 > 0:13:01ENGINE RUMBLES

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Form an orderly queue, ladies!

0:13:07 > 0:13:09HORN HONKS Eh?

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Annie seems to think she DIDN'T witness anything on the train.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22You are having a laugh? Father, there is a free buffet.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Let your hair down for once.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29So...

0:13:29 > 0:13:32better get in early if you want to ride on my "motor-sicle".

0:13:33 > 0:13:37It's not motorcycle, it's "motor-sicle"!

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Looks expensive.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Well, that's the fruits of hard graft, darling.- Good evening.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46I apologise. I approached uninvited.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Didn't stop you in Poland, did it?

0:13:48 > 0:13:51GLASS SMASHING Oh, what have you done?

0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Ow!- Here you are, let me.- No!

0:13:53 > 0:13:54It needs to be cleaned.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- It's, it's fine. - It's OK, come on.- It's fine.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05A respectable member of the community

0:14:05 > 0:14:08has contradicted your witness statement.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Apparently Annie Mace didn't move from third class.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15- And I hear that contraption outside's yours?- Mm-hm.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- How did you afford it? - My granny gave me 50 quid.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Your grandmother in Southampton? Who you've just visited?

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Yeah, my dear old granny in Southampton.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Well, you see we think the man, given his stripped state,

0:14:25 > 0:14:27was a victim of theft.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Anything you want to tell me?- No.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32- You sure?- Yep!

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Fine. That'll be all...for now.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45You're not suggesting Sid had anything to do with this?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Was it Christy who contradicted Sid's statement, by any chance?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52You've a personal interest, Father.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54So best keep your distance this time.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Unless you want to find yourself on the wrong side of the law?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Ah, keep it up, keep it up! Up!

0:15:04 > 0:15:05OK...

0:15:07 > 0:15:08I don't need your help.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15There.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17I don't need your help!

0:15:21 > 0:15:23My apologies for helping.

0:15:30 > 0:15:31WHISTLING

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Have you given Christy cause for a vendetta?

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Sid, have you cheated him?

0:15:37 > 0:15:38No more than usual.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Are you telling me everything? What about the money for this?

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Oh, shall I wheel Granny down here?

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Yeah, that's right, I'll get her to do a broadcast on Mrs M's bullhorn.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48She gave me 50 quid.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, I'm sure a telephone call to your grandmother

0:15:50 > 0:15:52would quell Valentine's suspicions.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56No, Granny don't have a telephone. They're the devil's work, apparently.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57A visit from our local police officer

0:15:57 > 0:15:59is no doubt being arranged then.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Fret not, Father. It's all in hand.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05- the inspector knows you're up to something. - SID CHUCKLES

0:16:05 > 0:16:08If you don't tell me what it is, I can't help you!

0:16:08 > 0:16:11I'm beginning to think that you don't trust me, Father.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- CHRISTY:- Rag and bone!

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Christy!

0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Whoa.- How's business?

0:16:34 > 0:16:35Mustn't grumble.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Yes, well, um, I'm glad I've caught you.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40I'm a little confused.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43I seem to recall that you said you were asleep on the train,

0:16:43 > 0:16:46yet I believe you provided Annie Mace with an alibi?

0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'm a Christian man, Father.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52I've never once spoken to that woman.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07KNOCK ON DOOR

0:17:10 > 0:17:13I've brought you some provisions!

0:17:13 > 0:17:17Chunk of cheese... couple of tins of apricots. Hm?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Just till you find your feet, eh?

0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Ta.- I'm as parched as the Sahara.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Might I trouble you for a cup of tea?- My taps don't work.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Would you like me to see if I could do anything about that?

0:17:38 > 0:17:42As long as you're not here to ask me any more stupid questions!

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Where's Mrs McCarthy?

0:17:54 > 0:17:55In the hospital.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58She wants the man to have company when he wakes.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Ahh!

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Ah.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Oh!- Come on.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12OK.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17SUSIE INHALES

0:18:23 > 0:18:24OK.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32You are like a doctor...

0:18:33 > 0:18:35..face all serious.

0:18:37 > 0:18:38Yeah?

0:18:38 > 0:18:42If your hand went green and fell off, it would be serious.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Only half floor would get scrubbed! FATHER FRANC CHUCKLES

0:18:46 > 0:18:48You're a funny Polish girl.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53You don't know I funny...

0:18:53 > 0:18:54you don't know me.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00It's...OK for us to share a joke.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01I never share joke with you.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09- You ain't going to find anything in there.- Indeed.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11If they were the man's missing clothes

0:19:11 > 0:19:13they've clearly burned to a cinder.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Oh, that's a shame, you're going to have to take my word for it.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18But I did find something useful...

0:19:18 > 0:19:20- at the post office. - Oi, that is private!

0:19:22 > 0:19:24A concerned worker passed it to me.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30"Dear Granny, thank you for socks.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34"If the police knock, tell them you gave me 50 quid.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36"Sidney."

0:19:36 > 0:19:42A stripped man is pushed from a train, you step off £50 richer.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44You robbed him. Things got out of hand, didn't they?

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Thought pinning the blame on a soft target like Annie

0:19:47 > 0:19:48would get you off the hook?

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Sorry, where does it say that in the telegram?

0:19:50 > 0:19:54Sid, I'm giving you an opportunity to tell the truth.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57The judge will go far easier on you if you do.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01I didn't do anything.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Well, the victim's getting better

0:20:03 > 0:20:05so, hopefully, he can confirm that soon enough.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Oh, that's good, he'll put you straight then.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10In the meantime, you'll do your defence a great deal of good

0:20:10 > 0:20:12if you let me take a look around.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Shame you haven't got a warrant then.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Just one more superhuman effort and...

0:20:27 > 0:20:28Ah!

0:20:29 > 0:20:30Let there be water.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Call the Pope, it's a miracle(!)

0:20:34 > 0:20:36- So, you do believe, then?- Steady on.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41I suspect you come to church for more

0:20:41 > 0:20:44than just getting up Mrs McCarthy's nose.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47Although, I can imagine how that would appeal!

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Not everybody there wants to judge you, you know?

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Do you believe in unicorns too?

0:20:57 > 0:20:59There's men in your parish turn their noses up then visit me.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Family men.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04That bank manager, he went too far, I had to hurt him.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Did anyone believe me? - Who visits you?- Where do I start?

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Mr Parnell, Mr Croker - all pillars of the community.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Christy Nolan?

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Never even spoken to Christy Nolan.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19You seem anxious to defend someone you've never spoken to.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26There were scratch marks on the man's face. Did you do that, Annie?

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- I'm not going back inside for the likes of him.- Likes of who?

0:21:30 > 0:21:34- I said no questions! - Who is he?- Look, GET OUT!

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Who is he Annie? What did he do?

0:21:38 > 0:21:42Dirty old priest. In all my time I've never heard such filth.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43You ought to be ASHAMED!

0:21:43 > 0:21:45We were just talking.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47It's the talkers with the sickest minds!

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Good morning to you.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00I believe the police are doing everything they can...

0:22:00 > 0:22:02to locate your loved ones.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Now, with a little more effort, you could be awake by teatime

0:22:09 > 0:22:13and then, well, we could be properly introduced.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19If, however, you wake after four o'clock I shall not be here

0:22:19 > 0:22:23because my casserole needs two hours on the stove.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25CREAKING

0:22:29 > 0:22:31KNOCK ON DOOR

0:22:32 > 0:22:34One moment, Bill.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45I just wanted to see how Bill is bearing up.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47I thought I might read to him.

0:22:47 > 0:22:51It'll be the Bible that rouses him from his coma, thank you very much.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53I'm sure there's room for two to mop his brow.

0:22:53 > 0:22:58He's far too poorly to have his room turned in to a Piccadilly Circus.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00I heard his health has improved a great deal.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03The nurses tell me he's quite dashing under his...injuries.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06I wonder what he was doing on that train?

0:23:08 > 0:23:11Bill is a FAMILY man!

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Is being almost naked in first class a family pursuit?

0:23:14 > 0:23:16SMASHING

0:23:16 > 0:23:17What was that?

0:23:17 > 0:23:19BILL CHOKES

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Sweet Jesus!

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Oh, Bill! Bill!

0:23:23 > 0:23:26What? What?

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Well, don't just stand there, get a doctor!

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Doctor! DOCTOR!

0:23:32 > 0:23:34'DOCTOR!'

0:23:42 > 0:23:47The window was wide open, the pillow was on the ground.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51The doctor thinks it's unlikely he'll survive such a heart attack.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53FATHER BROWN PRAYS QUIETLY

0:23:53 > 0:23:56The culprit must have come back to finish the job.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00Perhaps it was careless of me to inform Sid of his improved health?

0:24:00 > 0:24:03For goodness' sake! It was not Sid.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05It wasn't Sid.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Well, did you see who attacked the man?

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Either of you?- I may have done, had I not been delayed.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16Inspector I must insist that you speak to Christy Nolan

0:24:16 > 0:24:18and Annie Mace once more.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19They know something.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22They acted very strangely when I questioned them.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24I've spoken to them already.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Father has given you valuable information

0:24:26 > 0:24:29and duty compels you to use it!

0:24:29 > 0:24:34Unless, of course, a nameless victim isn't worth your best efforts?

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Is that the case?

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Inspector?

0:24:40 > 0:24:45All right, I'll speak to them, one more time...but that's it.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46That's all we're asking.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Is this payback for them carriage clocks?

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- You'll get off the hook, you always do.- You said you were asleep!

0:25:12 > 0:25:13I got confused.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Ah, you got confused about whether you were awake or not?

0:25:16 > 0:25:20- I saw her come out of first class! - You'll be all right, Sid.

0:25:20 > 0:25:21Only if you tell the truth.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24I have! I'm a Christian man.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27He's at death's door. Now, if he dies, I face a murder charge.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Now you tell the inspector you got it wrong!

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Witness intimidation and no alibi for the murder attempts.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41I'd say that was enough for a search warrant.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Sid!- Thanks for sending the inspector round, Father.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Annie said you'd been harassing her. I did what you asked, now back off!

0:25:48 > 0:25:50I can't just do nothing!

0:25:50 > 0:25:54Because you're certain of Sid's innocence because he's your friend.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56So I'm certain of his innocence?

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace

0:25:58 > 0:25:59is a serious offence, Father.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02I've told Miss Mace and Mr Nolan you won't be bothering them again.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Oh, Father Franc?

0:26:11 > 0:26:14It's my duty to visit with the sick. May I?

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Let's hope Bill is comfortable with such familiarity.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Well, he looks at peace.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28You presence has clearly been of great comfort to him.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33You seem tired, Mrs McCarthy. Why don't you go home and rest?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35I'll stay a while yet.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37He hasn't got much longer.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Well, I am happy to stay with him.- No.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45He's grown accustomed to me, I think, and, well...

0:26:45 > 0:26:47I'd like to be here when he...

0:26:48 > 0:26:52Maybe you do not wish to return to the presbytery just yet?

0:26:53 > 0:26:57- I'm sorry?- Well, I imagine young Susie may not have given you

0:26:57 > 0:26:59the warmest of welcomes...

0:26:59 > 0:27:02and...I must confess, neither did I.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06But you mustn't take her cold front too much to heart.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Losing her father in the war...

0:27:08 > 0:27:13She's not one to make a fuss but those scars run very deep.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16Look again!

0:27:16 > 0:27:18There's nothing here, sir!

0:27:26 > 0:27:29Now...what would Sid have to pawn?

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Rag and bone!

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Whoa.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Inspector says I'm to call if you harass me, Father.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Wouldn't dream of it!

0:27:43 > 0:27:46I wanted to sell you a painting. One of mine.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48All right, then.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52- St Michael. - An inspiration to us all.- Indeed.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57None of us are holy and we all have battles to face.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01But holiness is what we mortals must strive for, Father.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Many of the saints lived scandalous lives...

0:28:08 > 0:28:10..it was only when they were most burdened

0:28:10 > 0:28:13that they found the grace to turn their lives around.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18You must get very lonely riding around on that cart all day?

0:28:19 > 0:28:22We all know how much you miss your mother.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25Perhaps in your loneliness...

0:28:25 > 0:28:28- you have sought company?- No.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Perhaps you sought company from Annie...?

0:28:33 > 0:28:36..and feel pressured to provide her with an alibi

0:28:36 > 0:28:40so that she doesn't reveal your relationship? Christy...

0:28:41 > 0:28:44..I won't tell anybody!

0:28:44 > 0:28:48- Put the phone down. - Police, please.- Christy...

0:28:48 > 0:28:50find strength in honesty.

0:28:50 > 0:28:54They're asking if a crime is being committed now.

0:28:54 > 0:28:55Well, um...

0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Mm.- Yes, it's an emergency!

0:29:08 > 0:29:10I know what happened now, Susie.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14About what?

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Your father...

0:29:18 > 0:29:20..I'm so sorry.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Why?

0:29:22 > 0:29:24- It wasn't you, was it?- No.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28But, um...

0:29:28 > 0:29:31..you feel guilty even looking at me, don't you?

0:29:32 > 0:29:33You do not understand.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Of course I do!

0:29:36 > 0:29:38I have buried many friends...

0:29:39 > 0:29:41..and family.

0:29:41 > 0:29:42You lost people?

0:29:46 > 0:29:48And...

0:29:49 > 0:29:52..the ones who survive...

0:29:52 > 0:29:54people I love, good people...

0:29:55 > 0:29:58..they're hated by you - everyone.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11I don't like to hate...

0:30:12 > 0:30:15..but we can not pretend nothing happened.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21But we can stop it killing what is good in us...

0:30:22 > 0:30:24..or else they all died for nothing.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31So long time I wait to feel better...

0:30:35 > 0:30:36I miss my parents.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Ja.

0:30:41 > 0:30:42I miss my family too.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51But maybe something good will come from all that bad?

0:31:10 > 0:31:12We retrieved this from the pawnbroker...

0:31:15 > 0:31:20..funny thing is, it's covered in the man's fingerprints...

0:31:20 > 0:31:21and yours.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Right, I'll tell you the truth. - You've had your chance.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32- No, look, I found it in a bin. - Of course you did.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34This is why I couldn't be honest with you!

0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Sid.- Don't.

0:31:36 > 0:31:37Do not do this to me.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39I've no choice but to charge you with attempted murder.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46It's hardly a breach of the peace. I was only talking.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50the inspector made himself clear, Father.

0:31:50 > 0:31:51Let's not be too hasty.

0:31:51 > 0:31:52Father Brown...

0:31:52 > 0:31:56you harassed Christy Nolan despite being warned not to.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58This will be used as evidence.

0:31:58 > 0:32:02- If you give me any further cause to charge you...- Sid is innocent.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Sid's prints are on the man's wallet.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08He gave a false statement, threatened a witness,

0:32:08 > 0:32:10- he asked his granny to lie...- Hmm.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13..and he has no alibi for either murder attempt.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16You're heading for a criminal record yourself,

0:32:16 > 0:32:18what more is it going to take before you accept the truth?

0:32:18 > 0:32:21There must be a reasonable explanation.

0:32:21 > 0:32:26If it wasn't Sid in that cell you'd believe their guilt as much as I do.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29There's a poor man at death's door, his family deserves justice.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31You're trying to stop them getting that.

0:32:31 > 0:32:32The truth is...

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Sid went too far this time.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39Tell the judge he's a good boy at heart.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Where is Sid?

0:32:54 > 0:32:56I'm afraid he may not be coming back.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57No!

0:32:59 > 0:33:02I'll talk to Annie. Find out what she knows.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06- It's best we let the police do their job.- How can you say that?

0:33:06 > 0:33:11Maybe, maybe Annie's boyfriend do it, maybe he is a big thug?

0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Boyfriend?- I don't know him, she keep secret.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17Annie didn't have a boyfriend on the train...

0:33:19 > 0:33:20Of course!

0:33:22 > 0:33:23Where's Mrs McCarthy?

0:33:33 > 0:33:37We have bags of highly desirable antiques from our spring clean

0:33:37 > 0:33:38in the kitchen.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40Mass is about to start.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43This fiasco hardly counts as the Sabbath. Come along!

0:33:45 > 0:33:46I feel sick.

0:33:48 > 0:33:53If you don't come to Mass, people might say that you push man.

0:33:53 > 0:33:54You want that?

0:33:56 > 0:33:59Come, we'll make you some tea first, calm your nerves.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03I'll give you a shilling for the lot.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I'm going to the police!

0:34:11 > 0:34:13Sid has been charged, he's on his way to court,

0:34:13 > 0:34:15the police are confident of their case

0:34:15 > 0:34:17and, if the man dies, Sid will hang.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24- You attacked a man before. - That was self defence, I told you!

0:34:24 > 0:34:26Prostitutes are not known for their honesty.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Don't you dare talk to her like that!- Forgive me.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35You gave her an alibi because she's your girlfriend, isn't she?

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Christy don't like that word.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40I won't tell anybody...

0:34:40 > 0:34:43but I need to know the truth about the man.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49Do you want Sid's death on your conscience?

0:34:51 > 0:34:54The man pulled me into his carriage.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Must have known my sort, thought I was fair game.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59I scratched him, ran, but that's all!

0:34:59 > 0:35:03What happened then, Christy? Did you confront him?

0:35:03 > 0:35:05She didn't tell me till we got off the train.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07I didn't want any bother.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10I didn't think telling a fib would get Sid in trouble.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16Will you tell the truth to the inspector?

0:35:16 > 0:35:18I'm sure he'll be discrete and it would help Sid.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27I did want to tell you but I didn't think you'd believe me,

0:35:27 > 0:35:28what with the man's standing.

0:35:28 > 0:35:29Standing?

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Bad things have happened...

0:35:37 > 0:35:38..but...

0:35:40 > 0:35:42..good things can come from bad.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47Peace...can end pain...

0:35:49 > 0:35:52..hating your enemy does not bring your enemy pain,

0:35:52 > 0:35:55it brings us pain.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58It stops us from receiving love.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00DOOR CLOSING

0:36:02 > 0:36:03To quote Sunday's...

0:36:05 > 0:36:07..hymn...

0:36:09 > 0:36:12And it's the message of the mass each week to go in peace,

0:36:12 > 0:36:13loving God and what?

0:36:20 > 0:36:24To go in peace, loving God and, what, Father?

0:36:27 > 0:36:28Um, well...

0:36:30 > 0:36:35..i-in Germany, the expression is to go in peace, loving God

0:36:35 > 0:36:37and...be fruitful.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40Fruitful?

0:36:40 > 0:36:44The Roman Catholic Church urges "fruitfulness" on the faithful?

0:36:46 > 0:36:50What cultish gibberings is he spreading in the Lord's house?

0:36:50 > 0:36:52By night, he revels in...

0:36:52 > 0:36:55unholy affections...

0:36:55 > 0:36:56by day he mocks the creed.

0:36:56 > 0:37:01Is this what passes for a Catholic priest in Germany?

0:37:13 > 0:37:17- What's happening?! - Call the police to the hospital.

0:37:17 > 0:37:18Forgive me, Lord.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39There were little signs along the way...

0:37:39 > 0:37:42your blasphemy when you saw the body

0:37:42 > 0:37:45and your subsequent unease.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48And then, of course, your fondness for Susie.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51He's Father Franc...

0:37:51 > 0:37:52and who are you?

0:37:57 > 0:37:58I am no-one any more.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02You are a man...

0:38:02 > 0:38:04with a free will.

0:38:04 > 0:38:05Responsible for your actions.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08He never took responsibility.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12As things stand... you are no better than him.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15Yes, I am!

0:38:15 > 0:38:17Then put that pillow down...

0:38:18 > 0:38:19..and confess.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32My name is Wilhelm...

0:38:35 > 0:38:37..I was a doctor.

0:38:37 > 0:38:42I was put in prison for opposing the Nazis...

0:38:42 > 0:38:47and then HE slaughtered my wife to punish me.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49Just because he could.

0:38:49 > 0:38:50I'm so sorry.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56I did everything the right way, I campaigned for his capture

0:38:56 > 0:38:57but he denied everything...

0:38:58 > 0:39:03..and then I found out he'd worked his way into the priesthood.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05And you followed him here?

0:39:07 > 0:39:09All the way from Germany...

0:39:20 > 0:39:24'..and there he was... Franz Prepffler -

0:39:24 > 0:39:26'Nazi...

0:39:26 > 0:39:28killer...

0:39:28 > 0:39:29monster.'

0:39:35 > 0:39:37He didn't remember me...

0:39:39 > 0:39:42'..but his pride was too great to resist.

0:39:42 > 0:39:46'I praised the glorious Nazis, their courage,

0:39:46 > 0:39:48'and he soon joined in.'

0:39:49 > 0:39:55He was...so...proud of his cruelty.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58I could listen to no more.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02He killed my wife, he would tell the truth...

0:40:02 > 0:40:04HE LAUGHS

0:40:04 > 0:40:07'..but...he just laughed at me...'

0:40:08 > 0:40:11DROWNED OUT BY TRAIN WHISTLING

0:40:13 > 0:40:14The red mist descended.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17FRANZ RANTS IN GERMAN

0:40:19 > 0:40:24'I thought I'd killed him. It was not what I'd intended.'

0:40:24 > 0:40:27But I needed to get off the train so I stripped him,

0:40:27 > 0:40:29I took his cassock.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32It's hard to catch a killer when you don't know who the victim is.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39'So I pushed him from the train.'

0:40:41 > 0:40:44'I found Prepffler's wallet.

0:40:44 > 0:40:45'I didn't want his money.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48'Even wearing his clothes made me sick.'

0:40:48 > 0:40:50'Trust Sid to sniff it out.'

0:40:53 > 0:40:54'I wanted to get away...'

0:40:56 > 0:40:57There he is.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59'..but there you were.'

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Father Franc, I presume?

0:41:01 > 0:41:02Father Brown.

0:41:02 > 0:41:07I just wanted him to regret what he had done.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12When he was found in that tree, I had to stay and finish it.

0:41:12 > 0:41:13He knew who I was.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16- You tried to kill him yesterday?- Ja.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18Du...

0:41:18 > 0:41:21HE WHEEZES

0:41:21 > 0:41:23It is his heart.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28Your enemy's life or your liberty?

0:41:28 > 0:41:32No, I can't, I can't go back to prison.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35What kind of man are you? Killer or doctor?

0:41:35 > 0:41:37- I'm not like him!- Prove it.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40POLICE BELLS RINGING

0:41:47 > 0:41:49POLICE WHISTLE BLOWING

0:41:52 > 0:41:54What are you doing?

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Trust me, it's his only chance.

0:42:01 > 0:42:02Come on!

0:42:06 > 0:42:08He has a rhythm.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10WHISTLE BLOWS

0:42:14 > 0:42:15- You did the right thing.- 'Police!'

0:42:15 > 0:42:18He was never going to say sorry, I must have known that.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Police, open this door!

0:42:20 > 0:42:21I almost killed a man.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23I don't see an evil man in front of me.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26I see a man who has suffered more than I can comprehend.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28How you live your life from this moment onwards

0:42:28 > 0:42:30is what really matters.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32Open this door, now!

0:42:35 > 0:42:36Open...

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Where's the priest?

0:42:43 > 0:42:45That's him, there.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54I thought you might like a nice cup of tea?

0:42:55 > 0:42:58It's true, you lusted after a priest

0:42:58 > 0:43:02but, in the end, it turned out he wasn't a priest, so no harm done!

0:43:03 > 0:43:07Our brave hero of false imprisonment returns.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10Ah, well, now, next time you find a wallet...

0:43:10 > 0:43:13- I know, I know... - ..you be sure and hand it in!

0:43:13 > 0:43:17I heard you bought some friezes for a Nazi.

0:43:18 > 0:43:22Yes, but he was arrested before he had time to enjoy them.

0:43:22 > 0:43:26Mrs McCarthy, why don't you make Sid a nice, soothing cup of tea? Mm.

0:43:31 > 0:43:36Brakowalo mi twojego usmiechu...?

0:43:36 > 0:43:37THEY ALL CHUCKLE

0:43:40 > 0:43:42I missed your smile too.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54Don't think that your friendship wasn't real.

0:43:54 > 0:43:58I'm sure Wilhelm cared for you a great deal.

0:43:58 > 0:44:00I hope so.

0:44:00 > 0:44:05- ANNIE:- Rag and bone! Any rag and bone!

0:44:05 > 0:44:07Yeah, it's me.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10- Cat got your tongue? - THEY BOTH LAUGH

0:44:10 > 0:44:14- They don't care that people talk? - Not any more.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16They look so happy.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19You will be too. Given time.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- I hope you don't mean Sid? - Sid? Sid who?!

0:44:26 > 0:44:27Father...

0:44:27 > 0:44:29No, of course not.
