0:00:03 > 0:00:04Please.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09No.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Oh, dear.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03My condolences on your wife.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08One day left and you could be joining her.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15IMITATES GUN
0:01:53 > 0:01:56..Bid thy holy angels welcome her
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and lead her home to paradise.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Let her not undergo the pains of hell
0:02:02 > 0:02:05for she put her hope and trust in me
0:02:05 > 0:02:10but establish her in that bliss which knows no ending.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Through Christ our Lord.- Amen.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Lord grant her eternal rest.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Shooting your own mum...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- imagine it. - HE LAUGHS
0:02:21 > 0:02:22It was an accident.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Bunch of in-breds. Deserve everything that they get.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Talking of mothers...
0:02:32 > 0:02:36I'll be seeing yours tomorrow -
0:02:36 > 0:02:38collection day.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Father.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I have offered myself to Sir Aaron.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Really?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54With Miss Alice back home, he'll need help taking care of her.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58How kind of you.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59It's the least I could do.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Did you see the marks on her temples.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Marks?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Reminds me of John XXI.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09It is said he believed that hysteria could be cured
0:03:09 > 0:03:11by eating roasted rodents.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14How little we have moved on.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Alice?
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Talk to me.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Peter, would you be so kind as to take Alice to the car.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Of course.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34How is she?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well she's still very disturbed by it all, Father.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39She's blocked a lot of it out.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Understandable.- Still at least the police investigation is closed.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51The police inspector confirmed that Alice's gun WAS faulty.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54But still, she blames herself.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56What does the hospital say?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Well, they believe they can make her better
0:04:00 > 0:04:03with this new electric shock machine of theirs.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Are you thinking of re-admitting her?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08She's so very withdrawn.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Sir Aaron, can I be of any help?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Well, I think some spiritual guidance may help.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Mm, I don't think she'd come to me.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Why don't you join Mrs McCarthy at the house this evening.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31I'll see you this evening.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Magnus, would you fetch Miss Alice's things from the hospital, please?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Oh, and...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46and her shotgun from the police station.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48They no longer need it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Sir Aaron, I was wondering if... - Not right now.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- It won't take long... - I said not now.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Time's up.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Oi, Father Dopey, watch where you're going!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Toffee?- You what?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Apparently, chewing's good for anger.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11You're a fruit cake!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13And a very good day to you, too!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47What are you doing up there, Mrs McCarthy?
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Wasn't my idea.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Well, how could I sit up at front
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and leave the Holy Mother balancing here on the back?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Let me help you down.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59It's a wonder I'm alive at all.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01He drives like a madman.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Well, there's gratitude for you!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Yes, but you do!
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Sir Aaron.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Are you all right?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Oh, it's nothing, I slipped down the bank.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Silly old fool. Well, let's go in, I must change.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Who was that man? Was he a friend of yours?
0:07:21 > 0:07:26No, no, no, he was just asking for directions.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30KNOCK AT DOOR
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Miss Alice, it's me, it's Mrs McCarthy.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I'll be right down.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50GUNSHOT
0:08:02 > 0:08:04They did everything together.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08What about yourself, how are YOU feeling, Sir Aaron?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Well, you know what they say - life goes on.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15I'm a practical man.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I don't believe in indulging in one's own misery.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Ah, Peter, come and join us.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'm too busy, I'm afraid.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30First class secretary! Doesn't know how to relax.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Sir Aaron, may I speak with you?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34You know, if it wasn't for him
0:08:34 > 0:08:36the Housing Trust would have collapsed long ago.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40And sterling work your charity does in Kembleford.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Yeah, a pity the Catholic Church doesn't donate towards it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Now, now, Peter. Now, now.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Excuse me. ..What is it you want?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Cheeky little upstart!
0:08:51 > 0:08:52I rather like him.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's Alice. I barely recognise her.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Oh, well, it's going to take some time.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03No, no, no, it's not that, it's what they did to her.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Now, Peter...- You can't send her back there, you can't!
0:09:07 > 0:09:08"Can't"?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Who on Earth do you think you're talking to?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Look, I'm sorry, I'm just worried...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Just a little too worried if you ask me.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Is that really such a bad thing?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Am I so unsuitable?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- I should have seen it!- Sir Aaron...
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Well, now, you leave me no choice. I can't have you living under the same roof as her!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32After everything I have done for you, the Trust.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34And you think that entitles you to...?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38You have abused my hospitality.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I want you packed and gone by the morning.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I was just going to check on Alice.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54There's no need, Father.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58No need.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I'm just going up.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Alice?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Please, speak to me.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I only ever wanted what was best for you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Joan of Arc.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34What?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37What YOU let them do to me.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It's like being burned alive.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Good night, Mrs McCarthy. Good night, Father.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Good night, Sir Aaron.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Good night, Sir Aaron, God bless you.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Going somewhere?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So, you think you can help Alice?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I'll do my best.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The last thing she needs right now is to be force-fed religion.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Alice was baptised a Catholic by me.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Of course! Get them while they're young, eh, Father?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Atheist.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10BANGING
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Alice.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Please, may I have your gun?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Thank you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Your father says you're having trouble with your memories.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Are you doubting what happened?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37No.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I know...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I killed Mummy.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44The gun was faulty.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46But I'm still to blame.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Ever since I was little, it was drummed into me,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51never point your gun at anyone.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55So, why did I point it at my mummy?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Why?- Perhaps if you went back into the clearing.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59No.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- I could come with you. - I said no!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Alice...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Oh, where are you off to now, Father?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30And what are you hoping to find under there?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Oh! Oh!
0:13:41 > 0:13:44He was certainly hit with some force.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46The back of his skull is completely caved in.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Oh, well, look who's here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Keep searching for the weapon.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Father Brown. - I don't think it's hidden.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- I'm sorry?- I think the weapon's under your feet.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00He hit the ground there.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06So...
0:14:06 > 0:14:09the killer bound him by his hands,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12threw him out the window, and then proceeded to drag his body
0:14:12 > 0:14:14under the brush.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15I'll show you up.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Ah, very kind.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Looks like he put up a fight.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25But why, when he was thrown out of the window,
0:14:25 > 0:14:26are there three tools of death?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Rope, knife, gun.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32You can leave the detective work to me, thank you, Father.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Empty.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Motive, but no suspect.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40A little slow off the mark for you, Father.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43The chauffeur's gone AWOL - drove off late last night...
0:14:43 > 0:14:44in Sir Aaron's car.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Ah.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Like I said... - ..Leave the detective work to you.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Precisely.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15He was such a lovely man, so generous.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20The ladies at the institute used to call him Father Christmas.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23He was tied up?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Yes, his hands were bound.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26But...
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Alice.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29There you are.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Miss Alice, I thought you should know that
0:15:31 > 0:15:33we've found your father's car in town.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Magnus must have left it there and fled.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37After all Sir Aaron did for him!
0:15:37 > 0:15:39No-one else would even employ him.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I thought he was a reformed character.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45An innocent man wouldn't flee in the victim's car and then go on the run.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47He's always been very trustworthy.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50He's also an ex-convict with a history of firearms.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Alice...
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- I think we should talk.- Actually, I need you at the station
0:15:55 > 0:15:58to look at the mug-shots of the man you saw in the lorry.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Surely that can wait.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02No. He could be working with Magnus.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I'll be back as quickly as I can. - I'll take care of her.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- THUMP - Oh!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09PICKS OUT TUNE ON PIANO
0:17:52 > 0:17:53I hate crucifixes.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Now...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I ain't never cut up a priest before,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02but there's a first time for everything.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Unless...
0:18:06 > 0:18:11you keep shtoom to the coppers about seeing me.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Deal?
0:18:14 > 0:18:15No.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Listen, I'm deadly serious.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19All these silly threats.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Silly threats? I'm a vicious killer!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24You're scared,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27you're scared of being hung for a crime you didn't commit.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Too right!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33If the coppers know I've been round, they'll fit me right up!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38But if you confessed your sins to me here and now,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I'd be duty bound to keep shtoom, wouldn't I?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43How'd you know I was a Catholic?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44You said crucifix not cross.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47How about it? Act of contrition?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Well, I don't know. I mean, there's so many
0:18:51 > 0:18:56and, well, I've been a very naughty boy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- I keep seeing him.- Who?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Daddy.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Tied up like an animal.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Alice, don't.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Why haven't they arrested Magnus yet?
0:19:13 > 0:19:14I can't take it any more.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17It'll get better.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Make it go away, make love to me again.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Peter?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's not that I don't want to.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- It just feels like I'm taking advantage.- That's ridiculous.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30After everything that's happened, it doesn't seem right.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32To make love to a mad woman, you mean?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- That's not what I'm saying. - I'm not mad!
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Alice...- Don't touch me.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- You're just like everyone else. - That's not true.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Prove it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Look, Alice...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Come on, prove it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06Then, Wednesday, I repossessed all of Mr Brentford's furniture.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08He was in that tin bath. when I called.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Thursday, went and worried Jed Bosworth -
0:20:12 > 0:20:15he's falling behind with his payments.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Yesterday?- Yesterday...?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Yesterday I went and put the frighteners on Sir Aaron.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23And that's all!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Toffs are always the worst, you know.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29He owes a fortune to every building contractor in this county.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Anything else?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Then I went and paid his chauffeur's mum a visit.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Mrs Magnus.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Did you hurt her?
0:20:38 > 0:20:39No!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Just had a strong word!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Her son came through, paid all her back rent and the interest.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49And then of course I knocked you off your bike.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Ego te absolvo ab omnibus censuris, et peccatis
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.- Amen.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07What, is that it? No penance? Nothing on me knees?
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Rocking horse?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Oh, yeah, went and collected it off some kid.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Only decent thing in the house.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Mum had fallen behind with her loan.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17So, you took her child's toy?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You absolve sins, I collect debts!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22That's what I do, mate!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Oh, sorry about your bike.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Don't you want your crucifix?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34You can keep it.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Nutty as a fruit cake.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42What you looking at?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Father?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Hello?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Mrs Magnus, haven't seen Father, have you?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55No, sorry.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Oh!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Oh, that hurt.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13He can't have got far, you take this side,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I'll start here, every door.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Ignore them.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Father. Been looking for you everywhere!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29(Found out Magnus was hiding in the church.)
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Have you told the police? - Do I look like a grass?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Anyway, he clobbered me and scarpered.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36He did it, didn't he?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Well, it certainly looks as if he stole the money.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43What have you done?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Poor old faithful Bucephalus, rest in peace.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I'll see what I can do.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Mrs Magnus.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Father, I suppose you've heard the news.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Yes.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I can't believe he's gone back to his old ways.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00When was the last time you saw him?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Er, this morning. He stayed last night.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06But I've no idea where he is now.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Well, if you do see him again,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11tell him to meet me at the barn at the Armstrongs' at 8.00pm.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Meet you?
0:23:13 > 0:23:14I won't turn him in.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Better to confess to God than to the police.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26KNOCK AT DOOR
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Mum!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Alice, I know you're scared,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54but I'm not going anywhere.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You think I'm pathetic.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00No, I think we should wait, that's all, out of respect for your father.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Look, if it wasn't for him, I'd still be a farm hand.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Before I went to hospital, you'd have married me.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Mrs McCarthy, why are you hiding in there?
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Fornication.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I caught them at it once already.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24I see.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And I will not let Miss Alice be taken advantage of for a second time.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Keep up the good work, Mrs McCarthy.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Father, we were beginning to get worried.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Speak for yourself.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I'll see you back at the house.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Daddy's favourite spot. - I can see why.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59So, what's it going to be this time, Father?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01A sermon about grief?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Don't tell the Bishop, but I'm not very keen on sermons - too boring.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Do you still have gaps in your memory?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Yes.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14But I meant what I said, I'm not going back to the clearing.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16What are you afraid of?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17The truth.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Perhaps I'm not supposed to remember.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24An experienced shot does not aim their gun by accident.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27You're saying it's intentional?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I don't know what to think any more.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Maybe I am sick in the mind.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36It won't last for ever, you know - this self-loathing, it will pass.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39And be replaced with what?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- He loves you.- Does he?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Is he my saviour?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50And what about God?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Where does he fit in all of this?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Where do you want him to fit in?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I don't know if I believe any more.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58But if he does exist,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02it's rather evident he's turned his back on me, don't you think?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04He'll be there...
0:26:04 > 0:26:05when you want him most.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I like you, Father, I always have...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11..but you're an idealist.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17THUNDER RUMBLES
0:26:23 > 0:26:26RAIN PATTERS
0:26:32 > 0:26:35THUNDER CLAPS
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Magnus, it's Father Brown.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Magnus.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Magnus?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So...can you help me, Father?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Hopefully, if you tell me the truth.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I heard you paid your mother's back rent -
0:27:10 > 0:27:11that was an awful lot of money.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13It's not what you think.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Sir Aaron let me take the car last night to go and see her, I was worried.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20When I got in, there was an envelope of money on the driver's seat.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It had my name on it, I was sure it was from Sir Aaron.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Why didn't you tell the police?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well, I heard this morning he'd been robbed and murdered, I...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I got scared.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32With him dead and me with the money...
0:27:32 > 0:27:33You'd be the main suspect.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Exactly, why would I kill him, Father?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- I mean, he was good to me. - Then who did kill him?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I wasn't the only one in the house with a motive.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Peter?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45So he could marry Miss Alice.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I wasn't thinking of him.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Since killing her mother, she's not been right.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54She adored her father.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Not after what he did...
0:27:56 > 0:27:58the electric shocks.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Know anything about these?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- Magnus, this is Inspector Sullivan. - You told them!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- No.- I know you're in there.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Magnus, what are you doing?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Give yourself up.- I'm not swinging for something that I never did.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Magnus, no!
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Stay where you are.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21After him, go on!
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Argh!
0:28:30 > 0:28:32How did you know where to find him?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I saw you talking to his mother, so had you followed.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49What's happened?
0:28:49 > 0:28:50We've arrested Magnus.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53And broke his arm in the process.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- It was his own fault, resisting arrest.- Are you all right?
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Of course she's not all right.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03These thugs are out there attacking people.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Talk about a police state.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Oh, godless and a communist!
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Look, despite certain people's... intuition that Magnus is innocent,
0:29:11 > 0:29:13the facts say otherwise.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Yes, well, the money from the safe was left on the seat of the car,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20so Magnus may have been framed.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Framed?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25I hardly think that's the money that was stolen.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27No, I found them by the lake.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29In the ashes of a fire.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Why would someone want to burn old coins?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Old coins turned into buttons.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37Magnus' jacket?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Solid silver.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Think Magnus can afford a jacket like that?
0:29:44 > 0:29:45No.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48But I could.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52They're from the blazer I bought you.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54The one you wore last night.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Did I?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01And you've been near a fire.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Why would you burn your jacket, Mr Royce?
0:30:05 > 0:30:06I...
0:30:06 > 0:30:08I just did.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Well, why?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- Alice...- Peter?
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- I'm sorry.- I knew it!
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Were you disposing of incriminating evidence?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Answer him.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Answer him! - What was on the jacket, Mr Royce?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Blood?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27No. How could you?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29How could you!
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Peter Royce, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so...
0:30:35 > 0:30:37OK, OK! Alice, I love you.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41..whatever you say will be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Will you be letting Magnus go now?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45No. I suspect they were in it together.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Together?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Explains your three tools of death.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52One had a gun, the other a knife,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54tied Sir Armstrong up with the rope,
0:30:54 > 0:30:55robbed him, killed him. Simple.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Except that he wasn't tied up with the rope.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01It was the cord from his own dressing gown.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03They adapted their plan.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Using cord to bind someone's wrists is much easier
0:31:06 > 0:31:08than using a thick piece of rope.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Is he ready to go?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Father Brown has decided to stay a little longer.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Nobody tells me anything.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Sid.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Have you mended my bicycle already?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Nah, lost cause, threw it in the canal.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Anyway, I hear the murder's been solved.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I think Magnus is innocent,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54which means there's still too many tools of death for one person -
0:31:54 > 0:31:56a gun, a knife, and a rope.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Now, it's important that you eat something.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11When I think how that monster deceived you.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Well, I suppose that's where atheism gets you!
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Now, you make a start on that and I'll go get the tea.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Looks like you were wrong.- Sorry?
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Peter's not my saviour.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Perhaps you're wrong about other things, too.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Alice, I know how it must seem... - Save your breath.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39God doesn't exist.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Do you really believe that?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46I've been awake all night,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49waiting for some guidance,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51for him to answer me.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- As always, nothing! - What were you asking him?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00If you wanted an answer, there must have been a question.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01What was it, Alice?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Whether I should go to the police
0:33:06 > 0:33:08and confess.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14It's my fault that they didn't catch Peter sooner.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18I lied to the police, I withheld information.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19About your father's death.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23The night he was killed,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26I went to apologise for upsetting him
0:33:26 > 0:33:28about my treatment.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31But I found him tied up.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Was he alive?
0:33:38 > 0:33:39He was drunk.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I went to get a knife to cut him free.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Ah!- Daddy, who did this to you?
0:33:46 > 0:33:47No, Alice, Alice...
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Look, I'll explain everything tomorrow.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Just tell me... - I must ask you to leave.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55..how long have you been there? Just talk to me.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Don't say anything to anybody, will you? Please, don't.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- I don't...- Alice, please!
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I must ask you to leave.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Please.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Alice...
0:34:09 > 0:34:10I'm sorry.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17That's all that happened. I swear I wasn't there when he was murdered.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20So, why'd you keep it from the police?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Peter said the police would never believe something so outlandish,
0:34:25 > 0:34:29that they think that I had something to do with his murder.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31And you believed Peter?
0:34:33 > 0:34:34I was scared, Father.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Scared I'd have to go back to that hospital.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40You don't know what it's like.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Oh, Alice.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Too farfetched to be true, if you ask me.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Too farfetched not to be true.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56If Peter threw Sir Aaron out the window,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58why would he tie him to a radiator first?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- That don't make sense.- No.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Unless he tortured him.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Sir Aaron wasn't tortured.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Oh, what an idiot I've been.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Peter was trying to restrain him. - Restrain him?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17He wasn't trying to kill him, he was trying to save him!
0:35:17 > 0:35:19From who?
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Rope.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Chipped paint.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Gun.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Gunpowder.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34It was his gun.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43Peter came in he was intent on killing himself,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Sir Aaron, no, no!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Leave me alone.- No, please!
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- No!- Let me die.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Give me the gun! Give me...!
0:35:54 > 0:35:57'So, Peter had to tie him up.'
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Please, just calm down.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01'And later, when the ropes were cut...'
0:36:01 > 0:36:02He jumped.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06So, Daddy wasn't murdered?
0:36:08 > 0:36:09No.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Would you wait for me, please, Sid?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26You've got five minutes.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31You've come to read me my last rites?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Why would I? You're innocent.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35HE TUTS
0:36:35 > 0:36:36I'm sorry?
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Sir Aaron really did leave that money for Magnus, didn't he?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Always the philanthropist. His final act of charity.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Before he ended it all.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48You know?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53It wasn't your fault.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56HE SIGHS
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Yeah...
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Yeah, it was. I never should have left him.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Why did you?
0:37:03 > 0:37:07After tying him up, I...
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I waited for him to fall asleep.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I went to get a bottle...
0:37:15 > 0:37:19to steady my nerves, and keep me going through the night.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24'I was only gone a few minutes.'
0:37:35 > 0:37:37'Why did he kill himself?'
0:37:37 > 0:37:39'Grief?'
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Debt?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44He owed thousands.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49It was all in his suicide note.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50What note?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56I burned it.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59So, let me get this straight,
0:37:59 > 0:38:01after he jumped, you tied him up,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04and dragged him under a bush to make it look like murder?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07I had to protect Alice!
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Blaming herself for her mother's death,
0:38:09 > 0:38:10it almost destroyed her.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14If she knew that cutting the ropes caused her father's death as well, then...
0:38:14 > 0:38:16She mustn't find out anything, Father!
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Father Brown!
0:38:22 > 0:38:24'I've killed the ones I love.'
0:38:28 > 0:38:32'My life's become a...haze, a blur.'
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I'll go round the side!
