0:00:15 > 0:00:18Hello?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20FLOORBOARDS CREAK
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello?
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Hello?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Father?
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Thank God you're here.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41I came as quickly as I could.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43My condolences, Mrs McKinley.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- For...?- Your message said it was urgent.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I assumed someone was in need of last rites?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52It's too late for that, Father.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55What I need is an exorcism.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I'm serious.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00This house...is haunted.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The noises you could explain away,
0:01:03 > 0:01:07but then...things started moving.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I'm sure there's a rational explanation.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Elspeth.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Your sister?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21She wants to tell us something.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26She's not resting easy.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We don't know if she's dead...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34When she disappeared,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37they said she'd be back in a few days.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40It's been nine years.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42That still doesn't mean she's dead.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And it certainly doesn't mean that she's haunting you.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We just need this to stop.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Please, Father, help us.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- We need an exorcism.- Nonsense.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57I'll give your house a blessing.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00But there are no such things as ghosts!

0:02:37 > 0:02:40That's really the earliest you can do?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'm afraid so.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Then tonight it is.- Yes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Darling?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Selina!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Bye.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Do you remember Elspeth Grainger going missing?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I most certainly do.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I always thought if you hadn't been off on the pilgrimage
0:03:06 > 0:03:10to Lourdes for the duration, he'd never have got away with it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Who?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Victor McKinley.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Charlotte's husband?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19What was he accused of? Abduction?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Murder.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23But they had to let him go.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25No body, no evidence.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28That does tend to put the kibosh on an investigation.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31She just vanished off the face of the earth.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35If ever a house were haunted, Cudeley Manor would be it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Cobblers...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39to borrow from the vernacular.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40She didn't get that from me.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Go offer the McKinleys a lift, would you?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Next time you want to gossip, Mrs McCarthy, run it by me first.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Elspeth eloped,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52to get away from that domineering father of theirs.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Everybody knows that.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07God arises, His enemies are scattered,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- and those who hate Him flee before Him.- (This is ridiculous.)
0:04:11 > 0:04:14ALL: As smoke is driven away, so are they driven.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19As wax melts before the fire, so the wicked perish before God.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21(It's not going to help.)
0:04:21 > 0:04:24See the cross of the Lord. Be gone, you hostile powers!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And then there was light!
0:04:30 > 0:04:31It's a sign!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It's the electrics. They keep cutting in and out.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Looks like mice ate the cable.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39It's fixed, for now. What's all this?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41We're setting my sister's spirit free.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Mr Wake's doing our renovation work. - If you'd like to join us?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46This is sick.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Invoice.- Another one? Your estimate said...- That's for the overtime.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I still haven't been paid for that last one yet.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58See to it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Shall we continue?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- From the snares of the devil... - ALL: Lord, deliver us.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07That you help your Church to serve you in security and freedom...
0:05:07 > 0:05:08ALL: We beg you to hear us.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- That you humble the enemies of the holy Church. - ALL: We beg you to hear us.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14HE SPEAKS IN LATIN
0:05:14 > 0:05:16ALL: Amen.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Is that it?- It's done.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Finally(!) Can I go, then?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Isn't there supposed to be some kind of a sign?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36A clap of thunder, lightning,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39something that tells us that she's actually gone?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Believe me, if your sister is dead, she rests in peace.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45There's nothing here now.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Oh...- Guess who?- Er...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Oh, you're going to have to help me out.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05SHE GIGGLES
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's me...Selina.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Ah. Er...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I know you've noticed me.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16You're a bit young for this, aren't you?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Old enough to marry.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Old enough to elope.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23ELECTRICITY CRACKLES
0:06:24 > 0:06:27CRASH, WOMAN SCREAMS
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It's not possible!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- It's Elspeth. - It's not possible!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Please, breathe.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Oh! It's only a painting.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38It flew at me.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40She's still here!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Cord's still intact.- It didn't work!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I've got to get out.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- No, Victor, please!- I have to go!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Father, please, help us!
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I think we should revisit this in the cold light of day.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56We can't be alone here overnight. Not now.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58What about Mr McKinley? Isn't he coming back?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Father, you can't stay. You're expected at the Bishop's for matins.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Sid, can you stay?
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Er...no, no, I have to, erm, return the car to Lady F.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- He's scared.- I am not scared.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Good. Mrs McCarthy and I will take the car back,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and we'll see you in the morning.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Sure, I never knew you could drive.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30How hard can it be?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34ENGINE TURNS OVER
0:07:34 > 0:07:37That Mr McKinley's a rum one.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40GEARS CREAK AND GRIND
0:07:40 > 0:07:42So?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I heard he was struck off and that's why they're back in town.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Probably killed a patient. Maybe that's who's haunting them.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52No-one's haunting them. I'm not interested in gossip.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57I'm more interested in who's trying to fake Elspeth's ghost.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Well, why did you say the prayers if you don't believe in ghosts?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's all in the mind.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I thought that telling Charlotte that the ghost was gone
0:08:05 > 0:08:07was what she needed to hear.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09And now?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12HE REVS LOUDLY
0:08:14 > 0:08:15HANDBRAKE CREAKS
0:08:15 > 0:08:17ENGINE STOPS
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Now we walk home.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26BOOK DROPS Oh!
0:08:42 > 0:08:43HE SNORES
0:08:52 > 0:08:54HE YELLS
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Do you want to wake up the whole house?!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I was about to say the same to you.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Ohh, isn't it past your bedtime?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00You're from London, aren't you?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Used to be.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Why stick around here? I've never been anywhere more boring.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07You'd be surprised.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Run away with me.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11This is intimate.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13CREAKING AND CLINKING
0:09:13 > 0:09:15What was that?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's the ghost.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25CREAKING
0:09:26 > 0:09:28THEY GASP, CAT HISSES
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Oh, it's a cat! I hate cats!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Oh, you...!- "I'm not scared!"
0:09:33 > 0:09:35THEY LAUGH
0:09:37 > 0:09:39RUMBLING
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Mum?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Mrs McKinley?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05RAIN POURS
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I don't understand. We saw her come in here.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12WINDOW RATTLES
0:10:12 > 0:10:16I've been outside the whole time. She did not come past me.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18She's vanished.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Mum?!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Come on, let's search the house.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23DOOR OPENS
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Mum?!
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Is that you? Mum?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- You should be in bed. - Oh, Dad, thank God you're back!
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Selina? You all right?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- What's he doing here?- It's Mum....
0:10:54 > 0:10:56She's vanished.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- You can't explain it, can you, Father?- What?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- The "ghost", or the disappearance?- Either.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Maybe they're connected.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Maybe Elspeth's spirit is taking its revenge.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36What was Lady Felicia's term? Oh, yes...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38"cobblers".
0:11:43 > 0:11:45A clue?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49This has been out of print for years!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Father! You're not going to steal it?!
0:11:54 > 0:11:55I'll give it back.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58She's hardly going to be reading it, is she?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Not in the short term.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Father?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You'd better hurry up. Valentine's here.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09DOGS BARK
0:12:09 > 0:12:11That'll do for now.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13And don't leave town.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Inspector...- What?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19This is a big operation
0:12:19 > 0:12:21for someone who's only been missing for a few hours.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23It's a potential murder investigation.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26You think she's been killed?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27He's done it before.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29And got away with it.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- I'm not going to let it happen again.- You're saying...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Victor McKinley might have killed both of them?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Victor was struck off for mis-prescribing strong sedatives,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41and all indications are that Mrs McKinley was drugged
0:12:41 > 0:12:44or Carter and her daughter would've heard her being abducted.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47She could have left the house of her own accord.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49No, she couldn't. Not alone, anyway.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51The only other exit is by the windows.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53But there's only two sets of keys,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- and Charlotte didn't have either of them.- Who did?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Ah! Finally, you're asking the right questions.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01The builder, Seth Wake, had one.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- And the other...- What possible reason would Victor have
0:13:04 > 0:13:07for abducting his own wife?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I didn't know who else to call.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Well, I'm glad you picked me.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Anything I can do,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15anything at all...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I need an alibi.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Sorry? - They'll try to pin this on me.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22After what happened with Elspeth, the Inspector will have a field day!
0:13:22 > 0:13:24You want me to lie for you?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27If not for my sake, for my daughter's.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29She doesn't deserve to go through that again.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34If I say I was with you, alone, all evening...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36you know what this means for my reputation.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38What reputation?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Insults are not the way to convince a lady to do you a favour.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46It's not that, is it? You think I might've done it.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48No.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Mr McKinley, I need you to come down the station.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm not going anywhere with you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Your wife called the station last night,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59minutes before she disappeared.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Her last words before she was cut off were,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04"I know what happened to Elspeth."
0:14:04 > 0:14:06What?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10How many times?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Elspeth ran away.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16She had some...secret boyfriend.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19She wanted Charlotte to start caring for their father so she could marry him.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Charlotte said no.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23So, when her father went into hospital,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25she ran off with her lover and left us in it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Leaving her packed bags waiting on the bed?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31If Elspeth had run off with a lover, wouldn't he be missing, too?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Yet no-one for miles around left at the same time.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38You were her lover, Victor,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41and when she threatened to tell her sister what you were up to,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- you killed her.- Not this again.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46The house was bolted from the inside.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48By your own testimony, you, your wife,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51and your eight-year-old daughter were the only other people there.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54If Elspeth left of her own accord, who bolted the door?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I don't know!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00CAT MEOWS
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Oh, Marmite, I'm sorry, you must be starving.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17KNOCK AT DOOR
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Selina?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Er, listen...
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Lady Felicia's told me to come and get you,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28all right? She doesn't want you on your own.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- We don't even know when your dad's going to get back.- He didn't do it!
0:15:31 > 0:15:34He didn't hurt Mum, and he didn't hurt Auntie Elspeth.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- How do you know that?- He's my dad!
0:15:36 > 0:15:39They can't put him through this again.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40I know I was only little,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43but I saw what happened when Auntie Elspeth went missing.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45He fell apart!
0:15:45 > 0:15:48There must be someone else who had a reason to kill her.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Inspector, about Victor McKinley's arrest...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Victor's out.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Lady Felicia's given him an alibi.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Lady Felicia?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'm amazed you didn't know.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11They were sweethearts years ago.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Apparently, they've rekindled their affair.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17God knows where I go from here.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19DIGGING
0:16:19 > 0:16:20What's that?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Oi!
0:16:26 > 0:16:28What do you think you're doing?
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Heavy rain overnight. The bank of one of the foundations collapsed.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- So?- Who knows when work will start again on this lot.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It's safer to fill it in and then re-dig later, if need be.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Unless you want somebody else to disappear?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43HE SCOFFS
0:16:43 > 0:16:45WOOD CREAKS THEN SNAPS
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Argh!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52All right. I take your point.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53As you were.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58What's that?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Sergeant!- Sir?- Get Dr Miller.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09He's going to want to certify this.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11We've got a body.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13No! Please, no!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's all right.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- It's not your mother. - How do you know?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Whoever that is, they're long dead.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Oh, dear God. A skeleton!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25You know what this means, Father?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I'm sure you're going to tell me.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29They've finally found Elspeth.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And if Elspeth's dead,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35and Charlotte went missing in exactly the same way
0:17:35 > 0:17:38they have to be linked! Two murders.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It's Victor McKinley, you mark my words.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47But Victor's got an alibi.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Gotcha.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- It's a woman.- They know already?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Awaiting official confirmation,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59but she was wearing some kind of bracelet or necklace.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01They found beads with the body.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I'll call HQ with the news. If I solve two murders this week,
0:18:05 > 0:18:10the Chief Constable will practically be buying me...flowers.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Can I help you, Father?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Yes, I'm here in my professional capacity, about the body.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I wondered when we might be able to give her...or him
0:18:23 > 0:18:25a Christian burial?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27It'll be a while. The coroner's going to have a job with this one.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Hmm.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32If that's everything?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Sid?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I don't often see you here voluntarily.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I need to talk to you.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- About the case?- Yeah, there's something you don't know.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Elspeth had a lover.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It was all very hush-hush, her father wouldn't have approved.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55So, they needed a go-between, and I needed a sixpence.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Why didn't you come forward then?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I was a kid. Do you really think His Nibs would've listened to me?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Anyway, I liked him.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- And now?- I don't like him.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I've been watching him. There's something...off.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11DOOR OPENS
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Carter...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16what are you doing here?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Sid, the Inspector needs to know this.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I don't want you getting involved with this case at the McKinleys'.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40If I wanted to be told what to do, I'd be at home with my husband.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Not in a cheap hotel with you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Why'd you marry him?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53You didn't look at me twice.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57You were born to be lady of the manor.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Out of my league.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Feeble excuse.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Suppose I'd already had my fingers burnt.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Who?- I meant it.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10About Victor McKinley.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13The police catch you, you'll be in trouble.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14What's to catch?
0:20:14 > 0:20:18After all, I really did have a room booked that night.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20BANGING AT DOOR
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Police! Seth Wake, open up! We know you're in there!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25(You can't afford to get caught in here.)
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Yeah?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Yeah?- Seth Wake, I am arresting you on suspicion of the murders
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- of Elspeth and Charlotte McKinley. - What?!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38If your bit of stuff in the bathroom wants to keep her anonymity,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I suggest you come quietly.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I didn't kill Elspeth! I didn't kill either of them!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44But you and Elspeth were lovers?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46You were due at the scene the night she disappeared.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- No!- And the day Charlotte McKinley went missing,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51you realised she'd worked out the truth about you and Elspeth.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- You came back that night.- No! - Do you have an alibi?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Erm...
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Question the woman, too.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Sorry, Guv. She's gone.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Oh, what?!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16You heard they arrested Seth?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Don't give up hope.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I don't think he'd hurt her.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Especially when these aren't even his.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29What did you do to her, Dad?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31No, no, you don't understand...
0:21:31 > 0:21:33They'll hang Seth! You know that, right?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- I didn't drug her. - So what are these?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Sweeties?
0:21:38 > 0:21:39- Are they tasty? - Stop that! Put them down.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43If they're not dangerous, there's no problem, is there?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Is this what you did to Mum?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Is this how you stopped her finishing that call?- Put them down!
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Yeah.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Yeah, that's what I thought.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Selina!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Father!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Is something amiss, Mrs M?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Have you...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13have you heard anything in the church?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18You mean like the rattling of ancient chains?
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Exactly!
0:22:19 > 0:22:22No. Nothing like that.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Father, you're making mock.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I think St Mary's is haunted!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29What's this?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Pear drops. Blood sugar, that's what you need.- Oh!
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Am I disturbing you?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Not at all. - Ooh, what's the riddle?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52These numbers and letters in the dust wrapper of Charlotte's book.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Lots of them are crossed out, but this set isn't.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I thought it might give us a clue.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I thought, "nine across, seven up." A location, maybe.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06Or the last two clues of a crossword.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Or a chess move.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Check...mate.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12That was...
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I was in the middle of that.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Now that you've finished "helping me",
0:23:19 > 0:23:20what can I do for you?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23What have they got on Seth?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27They think he's responsible for Elspeth's disappearance.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Seth Wake was her lover, that much he admits.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34He says they were planning to run away together.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37He waited outside, she didn't turn up.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39He can't have done it.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41The supposition is that Elspeth changed her mind,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45told him she wasn't coming, they argued, he killed her.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I don't believe he did anything to Elspeth.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52But I know he didn't do anything to Charlotte.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54He doesn't have an alibi.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yes, he does.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Please, don't stand on ceremony(!)
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I need to change my testimony.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07- I'm sorry?- Seth Wake.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11He has an alibi for the night Charlotte went missing.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14He was with me, in my hotel room.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18HE LAUGHS
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Forgive me, Lady Felicia,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25but are you planning on giving an alibi to every man I interview?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28How many of you were there in that hotel room, exactly?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30How incredibly impertinent!
0:24:30 > 0:24:32When you provided a witness statement,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35you signed a declaration your statement was true.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Are you saying you were lying?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I was...confused.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I got the wrong night.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Well, Lady Felicia, how many men are you seeing?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Your statement stands. Now, stop wasting my time.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Guv'nor?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03What is it, Inspector?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05The coroner's report on the skeleton...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07What does it say?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Apparently, the body was male.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13So, not Elspeth?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Top marks for deduction, Father.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I thought it was wearing jewellery?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- It was.- A bracelet, necklace, beads, wasn't it?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Heavens' sake, Father. What does it matter?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25As long as Seth's in the clear?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27There's no chance of that, I'm afraid.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Since his arrest, we've searched his cottage.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34We found notes to him from Elspeth.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37"Please, don't do anything stupid."
0:25:37 > 0:25:39"I don't know if I can go through with this."
0:25:39 > 0:25:41"I'm sorry."
0:25:43 > 0:25:44She was breaking up with him.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46She was afraid of him.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49But without the other side of the conversation,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- those notes are meaningless. - We're pressing charges...
0:25:52 > 0:25:53bodies or no.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58GASPING
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Help!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Help!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Somebody!
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Let me out!
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Let me out!
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Let me out!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19BICYCLE BELL RINGS
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I thought you might want to make a confession.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29It was you who made the chandelier fall, wasn't it?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31You created the ghost at the house?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I just wanted Mum to move us back to London.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I didn't know it would end up like this.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40You haven't caused any of this.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It'll be all right, Selina.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45What's this?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47St Anthony.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Patron saint of lost things and missing persons.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53So I thought he might help you.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Thank you.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59That body they found in the garden, he was wearing a necklace, wasn't he?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01So the police said.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Maybe it was one of these.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Maybe that's why you found him.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09It wasn't a chain. It was beads.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13The body was wearing a rosary!
0:27:13 > 0:27:17During the Reformation, the Catholics were persecuted.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18They built themselves hiding places,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22priest holes for their holy men, and their books and their relics.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24So, you think that skeleton was a priest who got caught?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Who didn't make it to the priest hole in time.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29What priest hole?
0:27:30 > 0:27:31So...
0:27:32 > 0:27:35..she sat here, reading.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Yes...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Nine across, seven up.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Nine across, seven up.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49HE MUTTERS
0:28:02 > 0:28:03No.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Maybe your mother's notes just mean something else entirely.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09That's not Mum's handwriting.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Pray Father, give your blessing, for I have sinned.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It's been ten years since my last confession.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- This had better be good. - You and Elspeth...
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Were eloping. Were lovers.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Yes, I've been through this.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Were you searching for something in the house?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45There was a family legend,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47an old wives' tale,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50a hidden hoard, somewhere in the Manor.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54We thought if we found it, we...could get married.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Leave. Her father couldn't control our lives.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01What happened that night?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03We were going to run away.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07We were due to meet at the pond at six.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09I waited all night.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11What do you think became of her?
0:29:13 > 0:29:18I think she found whatever was hidden in that house.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Gold...
0:29:20 > 0:29:22jewels...
0:29:22 > 0:29:25then just took it.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27What other explanation can there be?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Is this Elspeth's handwriting?
0:29:32 > 0:29:33That's right.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Her ones always looked like sevens.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Why, what does it say?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- It says, "Never give up hope." - HE KNOCKS AT DOOR
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- Sergeant?- Sir?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15What's this?
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Search me.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21'Come to McKinley house as soon as you get this.'
0:30:24 > 0:30:26When's he going to learn?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28I don't take orders from a priest.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Of course not, sir.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37PHONE RINGS
0:30:41 > 0:30:43CHOKING
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Hello?
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Dad!
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Help! Somebody, help me!
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Selina?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Father? Help! It's my dad - he's done something awful.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10He's still breathing.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Stay here, I'll call a doctor.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Please. As fast as you can.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Nine across, one up, not seven.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Ha-haa!
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Charlotte?
0:32:20 > 0:32:21LOW GROAN
0:32:21 > 0:32:22Charlotte!
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Father, water! Please!
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Don't worry, I'm getting you out now.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Hello?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36I thought I told you to stay with your father.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Mum!
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Please tell me that you didn't move the umbrella!
0:32:41 > 0:32:44SOUND OF STONE SCRAPING
0:32:44 > 0:32:45DOOR CLUNKS SHUT
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Father?
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I knew it was a wild goose chase.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59'Which number, please?'
0:32:59 > 0:33:01The presbytery, please.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02'Just putting you through.'
0:33:04 > 0:33:08'Morning. Father Brown's residence. Mrs McCarthy speaking.'
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Mrs McCarthy, tell the Father,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- I'm bringing charges for wasting police time.- But, sir!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Victor McKinley's upstairs. Out cold.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Looks like suicide.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Why can't they hear us?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24This place was built to be soundproof.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27The priests hiding down here were only safe if they couldn't be heard.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29And how did THEY get out?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31They didn't!
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Until a sympathiser who knew the coast was clear let them out.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37It had to be utterly secret,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40so unless you were in on it, you wouldn't even know it was here.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Then how did Mum find this one?
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Ah.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47The book.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49She was reading your Auntie Elspeth's book
0:33:49 > 0:33:52about historic Gloucestershire houses,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54trying to find out what, or who...
0:33:56 > 0:33:57..was haunting you.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03The marks inside were Elspeth's.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I imagine no-one has even opened that book
0:34:08 > 0:34:10since the night she disappeared.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26The police station, please.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Hello? This is Charlotte McKinley.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35You have to tell the inspector, I know what happened to Elspeth.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01But if Auntie Elspeth found it first, why didn't she...
0:35:07 > 0:35:08No, she can't be.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21What's that box?
0:35:21 > 0:35:22The mythical family treasure.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Looks like Elspeth found it after all.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Much good it did her.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39How could you let Selina follow you?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I'd come to terms with this, for me.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47She's 17.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55There are three of us down here now, making noise.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Someone will hear us!
0:35:59 > 0:36:01We're all going to die down here.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11It just says "sorry".
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Not a confession per se,
0:36:13 > 0:36:16but perhaps the alibi Lady Felicia gave the builder was true,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- after all.- Ah, the penny drops!
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Is Victor going to be all right?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23The doctor thinks he got here just in time.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26What are you all doing here, anyway?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Well, it's hardly my fault if you insist on talking
0:36:28 > 0:36:32police business whilst on the telephone to me.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34I'm amazed Father Brown isn't here to gloat, too.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Where is he, then?- And what about Selina? Where is she?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Don't look at me! - That's another two people missing.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I'll get the men searching the woods.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44If you want to help, you can join them.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Charlotte?
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Charlotte?
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Where does this tunnel lead?
0:37:03 > 0:37:04I went all the way down there.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07It felt like miles.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10I tried banging and shouting, but...
0:37:12 > 0:37:14It's just a dead end.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Or really sound-proofed, like down here.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19What does it matter, anyway?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22We know no-one heard you, or they'd have helped.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Unless they thought your mother was a ghost.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Father Brown?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Damnation!
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Sorry.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Listen...
0:37:47 > 0:37:50I don't do this praying thing often.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57Fair cop, ever. But I've got a bit of a situation.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Three people have gone missing. Four, if you count Elspeth.
0:38:03 > 0:38:09If you do exist, maybe you could see your way to sending me a sign?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20MUTED CLANKING
0:38:29 > 0:38:31CLANKING CONTINUES
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Father?
0:38:57 > 0:38:58Hello?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Do you come here often?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Inspector...
0:39:05 > 0:39:08I have never been so pleased to see you!
0:39:08 > 0:39:10HE LAUGHS
0:39:12 > 0:39:13I'm sorry.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16I don't understand.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19I thought morphine was for coughs, and toothache.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22But if you have enough, it's really...
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- calming.- And addictive.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29When your aunt went missing, I badly needed to be calm.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33No-one believed it wasn't me.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34I believed you.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40And the morphine...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42that's why they struck you off?
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Who told you about that?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45I'm not a child, Dad.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47I know more than you think I do.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51We should never had dragged you out here without telling you why.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55When your father...lost his job...
0:39:56 > 0:39:58..we just couldn't afford to live that life.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01But everything's changed now.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04The jewels you found, they're hugely valuable.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07We can walk away, move back to London.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10If that's what you want?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Anima eius et animae omnium fidelium defunctorum
0:40:16 > 0:40:21per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22Ite in pace.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24ALL: Amen.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Go in the peace of Christ.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Thanks be to God.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50I heard there was a note for you with her body.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55I shouldn't have stopped looking.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- I should never have believed... - There's nothing you could've done.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06You shouldn't punish yourself forever.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13I think I'll punish myself for a while longer yet.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30You still won't elope with me?
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Even now I'm an heiress?
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Trust me, I am tempted.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40But even £10,000 doesn't make you five years older.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Come find me in five years, then.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Father?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Can I ask you a question?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- The ghost - how did you know it was me?- I didn't.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55But when the painting came off the wall,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58I knew someone was pushing the lath and plaster from the other side.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Seth had left the house and you were the only one not in sight.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04I did everything else. Hands up to that,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06but the painting, I was with Sid. Ask him!
0:42:06 > 0:42:10- Oh, come on!- Father, I swear on my mother's life...
0:42:10 > 0:42:12It wasn't me.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15And of course, we all know ghosts don't exist.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Father Brown.- Father Brown.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I've heard so much about you.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31All good, I hope?
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Are you a relative of the deceased, or...
0:42:34 > 0:42:36I hear you got yourself stuck in a tunnel.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Inspector Valentine had to save you.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Well, I suppose I did, yes.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Meddling. It's a dangerous business.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- I'm sorry - who are you?- Ah!
0:42:47 > 0:42:49You two have met.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Do you mind if I borrow the Father for a second?
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Father, I don't think I've thanked you properly.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57Two cases closed.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Make it three. The skeleton you dug up in the garden.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03I've been doing some digging of my own in the parish records.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07There are references that the disappearance of a travelling priest...
0:43:07 > 0:43:12And I appreciate you keeping your investigative involvement on the QT.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Yes, well, my boss isn't that interested in detective work
0:43:15 > 0:43:17so I'm happy to let you have the credit.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20You have no idea what it means to me.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23- Maybe we can work together in the future.- Ah.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26I see. You haven't heard.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28I'm London-bound.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32DCI, Metropolitan Police.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34So you see, I really do mean it.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Thank you.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39Inspector Sullivan will be taking over as the new DI of Kembleford.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41So, no more meddling, eh?
0:43:41 > 0:43:44I don't want to be picking up the pieces.
0:43:44 > 0:43:55- You know, I almost think I'll miss you, Father. - The feeling might be mutual.
