0:00:12 > 0:00:13Rein.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I imagined it would have been bigger.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Because of its value, I suppose.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13A painting like this exudes intimacy.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It invites the viewer in.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Delicate brushwork.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Consummate use of light and shade.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24The exquisite depth of field.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30A timely reminder of the need for redemption.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Yes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35The worthy few at the gates of Heaven.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39The lost souls, condemned to damnation.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Really is one of the finest examples of a Doom painting
0:02:44 > 0:02:46ever put to canvas.
0:02:46 > 0:02:481452.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Yes, the artist left his mark.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53LOUD CRASH
0:02:58 > 0:03:00You clumsy lummox!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Have you any idea of the value of art?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Ted, that lighting in there is all wrong.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I want theatre, I want drama.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11A celestial milieu to stimulate the senses.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'm surrounded by Philistines.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16It was very trusting of the Vatican to lend you the painting.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Ah, it was hidden away in the Apostolic Archives.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I persuaded a cardinal to pull some strings.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Oh! As if I don't have enough to contend with.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30What a surprise.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31And how did you get in?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Well, I persuaded Mr Cadwaller to give me a sneak preview.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I am very interested in this exhibition.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Well, don't tell Felicia. I'll never hear the end of it.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yes, well, I've checked on security arrangements.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Everything seems to be in order.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well, the Belvedere is fully equipped
0:03:46 > 0:03:49with a foolproof alarm system. All the exhibits are perfectly safe.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I'll be allocating PC Nyland to keep an eye on things.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Just to put our minds at rest.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I'm never going to open on time, at this rate.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Perhaps I should leave you to it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Yes, perhaps you should.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I have an appointment. Pictura Magazine.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Ah.- Now, there's the journalist who's come to interview me,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13so I shall see you both at tomorrow's preview.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Sir.- It promises to be exclusive.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Binkie Cadwaller.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Museum curator.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I've been looking forward to meeting you.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Yes, well, I can only spare you about 20 minutes, I'm afraid.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Well, let's get on with it then.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Right, well, why don't we do this in my office?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32I imagine you'll want to take a photograph of me.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35It's certainly arousing plenty of interest.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Yes, and a drain on police resources.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I hear the painting was insured for a million pounds.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46So are Betty Grable's legs.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I know what I'd rather look at.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I don't suppose there's any chance of a lift back...
0:04:52 > 0:04:53to Kembleford?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14A good exhibition takes one on a journey,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18stimulates the senses and educates the mind.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It really is all about the narrative.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23We both know the value of a good story.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Well, I was rather hoping for a decent spread.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Last month's Pictura piece on Poussin
0:05:30 > 0:05:33could, at best, be described as amateurish.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34I like to have an angle.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36In fact, I'm thinking that this article
0:05:36 > 0:05:38should be less about the painting,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42and more about the man behind the masterpiece.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Binkie Cadwaller - what makes him tick?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Well, clearly a woman with taste.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52And the slightest hint of an accent?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I was brought up in Germany.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56A country very close to my heart.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00The simple pleasures of Baden-Baden.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04The intimate bierkellers of Hamburg.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Leipzig. Do you know it?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10That's a city that I'm not...
0:06:10 > 0:06:13not, um, terribly familiar with, I'm afraid.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Tinted by the grey hues of Stalinist monotony.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I was hoping that I might have a look at the painting.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Oh, no, no, I'm afraid you're going to have to wait.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Security concerns.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31It has such an intriguing history.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Rumoured to have fallen into private hands before the war.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38The painting belongs to the Vatican.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39I am merely its custodian.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Now, if you'll excuse me, I really must get on.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Are you quite sure it was him? Your eyesight isn't what it was.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I think I can still manage to see across the street.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Someone has only gone and nicked my sparkplugs.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I'm going to have to call the railway station now, because
0:07:13 > 0:07:15the Rolls is out of action and Her Ladyship is turning
0:07:15 > 0:07:17up on the 3.15 train.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19If I were you, I would go to the police.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21They'd only accuse me of wasting their time.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23He knew I was there. He was taunting me.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27If Flambeau's decided to show his face, that can only mean trouble.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Did you just say Flambeau?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34The Father claims to have seen him.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Outside the Belvedere Museum.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Well, you know what that means.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Yes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40He wants to steal the painting.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's awfully kind of you to offer me a lift.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Pleasure's all mine.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I left His Lordship up on the grouse moors.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10He likes to shoot things.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12In that case, I'm glad he's not here.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'm all alone in this big empty house.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'd never leave a beautiful woman to her own devices.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19You're nearly as fast as your driving.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I don't make a habit of picking up strangers.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24In my case, I'm glad you did.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27So what brings you to Kembleford?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'm over in England to paint some landscapes.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- An artist?- I dabble.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It makes a welcome change from the oil business.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I'm attending a preview at the Belvedere, tomorrow.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Curator's a friend of mine.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Religious art, it's not your thing? - On the contrary,
0:08:42 > 0:08:43religious art is my forte.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I'd be delighted if you came as my guest.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Then I'd be delighted to escort you.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Thank you, Hornby.- My Lady.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Lounge suits and summer frocks. We're very informal.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'll swing by and pick you up.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Shall we say 2.30?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- I don't even know your name. - Charles Coiner the Third.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Friends call me Chip.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22And when exactly is Flambeau planning to steal this painting?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Tomorrow afternoon. At the preview.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- In front of all those guests? - Well, Flambeau likes a challenge.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Impossible.- Implausible.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I'm expected to brief my men over an impending art heist,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36based on a half-baked hunch?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38That just about sums it up, yes.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Why are you sharing this information?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Because the church owns the painting.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I have a vested interest.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I came this close to catching him last time.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53If I remember rightly, you helped him get away.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55That's not quite how I remember it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'd go as far as aiding and abetting.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Sorry, sir. Thought you should see this.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08You've raised your concerns. We'll take it from here.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Mirren McConnell - released on licence from Winsome Green.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17'How is he my problem?'
0:10:17 > 0:10:20'Failed to liaise with his probation officer.'
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Seems he's gone to ground, sir. - Well, hand it down to uniform.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24It's his past form, sir.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Sergeant, get some reinforcements down to the Belvedere right away.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35All weekend leave is cancelled.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I want a car posted outside through the night.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Perhaps if we were working together?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45If Flambeau makes an appearance, we'll be there to apprehend him,
0:10:45 > 0:10:46and you won't be anywhere in sight.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I'll have you taken off the guest list.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51He gives you information, you throw it back in his face.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54If either of you set foot in that museum tomorrow, I'll have
0:10:54 > 0:10:56you arrested for obstruction, understood?
0:11:02 > 0:11:03So we're just supposed to sit around
0:11:03 > 0:11:06and let Flambeau run rings around them, are we?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Mirren McConnell. Name ring any bells?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12They call him The Spark. Wires, explosives, alarms - he's your man.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Scar from his ear to his chin.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18So, Flambeau may well have found himself an accomplice.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49HE CLEARS THROAT
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Back in the morning. Bright and early.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19ELECTRONIC BUZZING
0:12:27 > 0:12:29BUZZING STOPS
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'm on the press list. Rebecca Himelbaum.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I don't know how I ever let you talk me into this.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You didn't take much convincing.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Bishop Talbot.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01And the Dowager...Duchess of Worcester.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- IN PLUMMY VOICE:- I'm afraid I left my tickets in the car.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Your spectacles, ma'am.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Oh, thank you, Carter.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I shall require these to admire the paintings.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Until then, you carry them, young man.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- IN OWN VOICE:- Are you quite sure the bishop is indisposed?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Tied up at a synod in London.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38That ring better come off. It was Mother's.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40She must have had big hands.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Oi-oi, look out.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Lies and deceit.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50We have descended to Flambeau's level already.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Mr Coiner is in the petroleum business.- Oh, crude oil?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59You make me sound so vulgar.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03On the contrary, he's something of an art connoisseur.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Yes, well, the Old Masters have had their day.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Pop art is the future.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Bright young things like Paolozzi and Rauschenberg.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Perhaps you should advise me on a good investment.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Binkie's expert eye has proved rather lucrative.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Champagne, madame, monsieur.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Thank you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I hear your latest acquisition is quite valuable.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28No wonder security's tight.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Listen, perhaps I should go and liaise with Inspector Sullivan.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Excuse me.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I'm in safe hands.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38An exhibition to remember.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39I'll drink to that.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I've got officers posted throughout the museum.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Based on a spurious tip-off.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54My openings have always been fondly remembered.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58We wouldn't want to lower the tone, now, would we?
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Yes, Jemima.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Stake out the lobby, sergeant. - Yes, sir.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Oh, and, Goodfellow,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09try and blend in.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Yes, sir!
0:15:21 > 0:15:22GUARD CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Certainly takes the breath away.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Uh...I've always found it rather dark.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Trial and retribution.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43The blinking of an eye between time and eternity.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47The moment a soul's fate is sealed forever.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51A consummate assessment.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I learned about art from my father.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Do you think the guilty ever pay for their sins?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think you know my answer to that question.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03I saw you arrive yesterday.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06How is the article on Mr Cadwaller shaping up?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Oh, it will be enlightening, I can promise you that.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15A fitting obituary to a colourful career.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25No sign of him so far. Maybe he got cold feet.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- IN PLUMMY VOICE:- As I said to Her Majesty only last Tuesday,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30the monarchy is safe in your hands.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37I am often called upon to offer discreet advice,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40as a redoubtable stalwart of the peerage.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Are we perhaps getting a bit carried away?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Listen, I'm going to go and look for McConnell.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- IN OWN VOICE:- Well, I don't think much of the paintings.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Far too much naked flesh.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- HUSHED:- I think we should concentrate on the matter in hand.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- HUSHED:- Now, he strikes me as a very likely suspect.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I think that's the mayor, Mrs McCarthy.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10And I think you told me Flambeau is a master of disguise.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Oh, don't you worry, Father.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Nothing gets past me.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Father Brown! I wondered where you'd got to.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18That's all we need.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Lady Felicia.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- How was Scotland?- Rather weird.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25You simply have to meet a new friend of mine. He's American.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh, he was here a moment ago.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Excuse me.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Unfinished business.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Why are you wearing my tiara?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'm working undercover
0:17:46 > 0:17:49as the Dowager Duchess of Worcester.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Well, you are a loss to the aristocracy.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Oh, thank you so much.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Perhaps you'd care to tell me what I've missed.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04"Ladies and gentlemen, I should like to...
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- "congratulate you..." Oh!- Zut alors!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Pardonnez-moi!- You imbecile!
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Votre chemise! Wet! Wet! Wet!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16G'oh! Get on with your work!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I've got to go and get changed for my welcoming speech, haven't I?!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44HE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:18:46 > 0:18:47I finished the article.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- You shouldn't be in here. - I wanted you to read it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Yes, well, I have a speech to make.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I'd read it now...if I were you.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58I've made you a copy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12A list of priceless artwork.
0:19:13 > 0:19:19Matisse, Klimt, Egon Schiele...
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Perhaps you're familiar with them.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I have no idea what you're talking about.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Paintings stolen by the Nazis from Jewish families.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Abramsky.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Braunstein.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Himelbaum.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Perhaps you remember me now.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46HE EXHALES HEAVILY
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Well, I wish someone had warned me.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02We don't even know if Flambeau's here.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07TICKING
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I might have known.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40They need some help. A bomb!

0:21:11 > 0:21:13HE SNORTS
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Misdirection.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18A classic diversionary tactic.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'd love to stop and chat,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22but there's a painting I need to steal.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And if I tried to stop you?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27That wouldn't be advisable.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Not while I've got a knife in my hand.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Hmm.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34A painting on the theme of redemption.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37A irresistible prize.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41A welcome addition to my private collection.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44And will you be strolling out of here in broad daylight?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48That might be imprudent.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Perhaps I should narrow the odds in my favour.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53HE WHISTLES
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Hercule?

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Oh, no, you don't...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03The painting's gone! Seal the exits.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04I want everyone searched.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Have you seen Father Brown?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10He must be still inside.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19That's him! That's our man!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I need to get you out of here.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- I can't leave the others! - It isn't safe.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Well, of all the nerve!

0:24:56 > 0:24:57Written off.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00In favour of men who barely saw service.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03You realise you'll get ten more years for this?
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Bomb wasn't real.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08If we don't catch Flambeau,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10you'll take the rap.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18He paid me a visit in prison.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Hired me for the job.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Half the money upfront... - And now you're out of pocket.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The rest of the money's in a safety deposit box.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Cheltenham Station.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I expect he'll try and pick it up, with me indisposed.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Then we'll make sure we're waiting for him.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34In the meantime,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37there's a cell in this station with your name on it.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I want to talk to my solicitor.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Sergeant, get on to Cheltenham.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43All available units to the railway station.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Inspector...- I'll meet them there.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Any news on Flambeau's whereabouts?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50None that I'll be sharing with you.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54It's just I'm concerned about Mr Cadwaller.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56No-one's seen him since the heist.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Maybe he was in on it.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02What do you mean by that?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Recently cautioned for suspected "shilling",
0:26:04 > 0:26:05pushing up the value of his paintings
0:26:05 > 0:26:07through fake bids at auction.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Yes, the Met investigation couldn't prove anything,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12but your pal Cadwaller's got form.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Now, if you'll excuse me, I've a thief to apprehend.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27Any news on Binkie?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Ashamed to show his face, no doubt.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32His reputation in tatters.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Binkie Cadwaller...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37is hiding a grievous secret,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40if the claims made in this article can be verified.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Someone else is intent on destroying him, someone with a vested interest.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Maybe Her Ladyship knows where he's got to.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50And she left with the American gentleman.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Some people know no shame.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56What did the American gentleman look like?
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Handsome, I suppose...in a raffish sort of way. Expensive suit...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04..and French cologne.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Stolen from under our very noses.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Typical French audacity.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I didn't even get to set eyes on him.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19At least they caught Flambeau's accomplice.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21McConnell was expendable.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Collateral damage.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Something's been troubling me.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Well?
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Don't keep me in suspense.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You offered to pick me up at 2.30.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36You knew what time the preview started, even before I invited you.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You're smarter than you look.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You're no oil man.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Your hands are too soft.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44I've never been to Texas.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- The climate doesn't suit me. - I had you down for a gentleman.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50You're nothing but a common thief.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I needed a ticket. You wanted attention.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54How dare you presume to know anything about me!
0:27:54 > 0:27:55You're trapped in a loveless marriage,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57filling the void with mundane distractions.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59You see each other briefly at breakfast
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and His Lordship only ever looks right through you.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04If you don't leave this instant, I'll ring for Hornby.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05You gave the butler the evening off.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Hello, police?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21This is Lady Felicia Montague... SHE GASPS
0:28:23 > 0:28:25The police are busy searching for a thief.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27The last place they'll look for him is here.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31BELL RINGS
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Oh, thank goodness! - Well, if it isn't the bishop.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43I was expecting you earlier.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Tell me you've brought reinforcements.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48I'm afraid I came alone.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Not even armed with your trusty umbrella?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Ah, in all the excitement,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55I must have left it in the cloakroom.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Inept and forgetful - you ARE losing your touch.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Rebecca Himelbaum.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01You know her.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06I knew her once.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09In another life.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13A wartime liaison that ended abruptly.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Bitte! Bitte! Nein, nein, nein!
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Vater!
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Rebecca! Nein!
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Bitte, nehmen Sie sie nicht weg! - Rebecca, nein!
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Sie auch. Jetzt.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31No! Lass die Finger von ihr!
0:29:33 > 0:29:36BELL RINGS
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Nicht bewegen!
0:29:42 > 0:29:43- Los!- Rebecca!
0:29:45 > 0:29:46Bewegen!

0:29:51 > 0:29:53MARCHING BOOTS Halt dein Maul!
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Los!
0:30:02 > 0:30:05They took the Himelbaums to Theresienstadt,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07a camp near the Elbe.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08I never saw any of them again.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- Until today.- I was convinced Rebecca had been murdered.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15A victim of the Holocaust.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Binkie betrayed her.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Cadwaller knew the Himelbaums owned priceless works of art.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22He struck a deal with the SS.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25He sent them to their deaths in return for a cut of the loot.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26You're lying.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It soon became a lucrative habit.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Binkie might be a rogue, but he wouldn't stoop that low.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35As soon as the war ended, he sold on the art
0:30:35 > 0:30:37for an exorbitant profit.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39There were plenty of buyers.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40The Vatican, for one.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44You stole that painting to settle a grudge.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47This time it was personal.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Where is it now? - That would be telling.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Must be well hidden, otherwise I would have spotted it.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Rebecca is determined to exact her own revenge.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Why do women always complicate things?
0:30:58 > 0:31:02The police will arrest her for murder, unless we find her.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Cadwaller deserves all he gets.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Do you want her to hang?
0:31:08 > 0:31:09The past is history.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- It's of no concern to me. - This is your chance to make amends.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14This time you CAN save her.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18We don't even know where she's taken him.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Someone will have seen them leaving the Belvedere.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Two office doors.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27BOTH: They never left the museum.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32I've been compiling a dossier since the war,
0:31:32 > 0:31:37enough damning evidence to lock you up for life.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Circumstantial evidence.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41You'll never be able to prove a thing.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44First the Jews were forced to hide their art.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Then they were forced to hide themselves.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Now it is the Nazis who are hiding.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53The Nazis and their collaborators.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I had no idea what the SS were doing.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59You won't be around to refute the claims.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- I doubt you'll be missed. - You're insane!
0:32:02 > 0:32:03You were party to genocide.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- I've presented the evidence. - This is your trial.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Ways to kill a war criminal...
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I could leave you here to starve...
0:32:19 > 0:32:22..untie you now and shoot you while you escape.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27They say gas is a quick way to die.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32We can't ask the people you sent to the camps.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Please...
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- this is madness. - Dangerously toxic in confined spaces.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Thick steel walls.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50No-one will hear you scream.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00We've only got an hour before Lady Felicia calls the police.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01You keep him talking...
0:33:01 > 0:33:02I'll break his neck.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13Ah, I only meant to hit the bonnet.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Misdirection.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I'll make a thief of you yet.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32A hoard of buried treasure, safe from prying eyes.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33And thieving hands.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34There are worse sins than avarice.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36A sin is a sin.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Sin requires guilt,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40a cognitive emotion I've never experienced.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Rebecca? You loved her once.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Love is an indulgence
0:33:45 > 0:33:47that leads only to weakness.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51A trap, like religion. I'll never make the same mistake again.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52It's a very lonely predicament.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54You took a vow of celibacy.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Every night in an empty bed?
0:33:56 > 0:33:57I can always talk to God.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Praying for some company? Now, I'd say that was lonely.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I think we should split up.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03I think so too.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Rebecca?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21GUN COCKS
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Cadwaller is mine.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31I didn't come back for Cadwaller.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38What did you turn into...
0:34:38 > 0:34:40while I festered in that place?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I thought you were dead.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44You're no better than the man who betrayed us.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47I stole the painting to ruin him.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49I didn't need your help.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Vengeance is God's alone.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55You brought me a priest?
0:34:58 > 0:34:59He will face justice.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02My mother died of typhoid in Birkenau.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I held her in my arms...
0:35:05 > 0:35:06and she didn't even know me.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08This is not the way.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10My father was killed in Auschwitz.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Betrayed and condemned,
0:35:13 > 0:35:14deprived of his dignity,
0:35:14 > 0:35:16the people he loved.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17But you survived.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21It took me eight long years to find the proof to damn Cadwaller.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22And now I'm supposed to forgive?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24If it helps you to find peace, yes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27It's a little too late for a homily, Father.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29If Cadwaller dies, you'll hang.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Bittersweet revenge.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33I give you my word...
0:35:34 > 0:35:36..he will face justice,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38in return for his life.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41I locked him in.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- HISSING - Help me!
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Please, God! Somebody!
0:35:47 > 0:35:49HE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS
0:35:54 > 0:35:57If you ever really loved me, you'd let him die.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10If that man dies, she will be a murderer.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- I'll see she gets away. - To live like you?
0:36:12 > 0:36:13A fugitive?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15You owe her more than that.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18Open it.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23He unlocked the vault with a gun to his head.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25I don't even know the combination.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28For once in your life, use your dubious skills for good.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Drive camshaft. Three-digit encryption.
0:36:47 > 0:36:4814.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53We're running out of time.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56To crack a lock like this could take hours.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58I need tools. Silence.
0:37:00 > 0:37:0114?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07The year in the painting.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44An early death would be too good for you.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48The police will be arriving soon.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I wouldn't want them to find you here.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Say a prayer for the Himelbaums, Father.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55After all, we share the same god.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Go after her.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06I went to the camp after liberation.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08No names.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Only numbers.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12So you consigned me to history?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- It was easier.- Easier?
0:38:17 > 0:38:18For whom?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I tortured myself for not being able to save you.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24It was only a memory that kept me alive.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26The memory of someone I loved.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30So you see, you did save me.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Perhaps I could search for the man I once was.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37We've both changed.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40We're strangers now.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48I would never have been enough for you.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58You sent them to their deaths.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- It was just business. - They were murdered...
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- ..for a painting?- If you expose me,
0:39:05 > 0:39:06you'll implicate the church.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12The guilty will answer for what they have done.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15And you will pay with a proper trial.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18The first time I held it...
0:39:19 > 0:39:21..I was looking into heaven.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24I saw the wicked...
0:39:25 > 0:39:27..condemned to doom.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29To damnation.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35I saw my own fate.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36God is a merciful judge.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42There is always redemption for those who truly seek it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56I still want you to return that painting.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58I thought I'd hang it in my dressing room.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59And what will it remind you of?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02This is hardly the time for a sermon.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04You've exiled yourself to a life of purgatory.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Surrounded by beautiful things.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Because your soul is dark.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11You grew up without your father.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13You couldn't help Rebecca.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Is it because you couldn't save them?
0:40:18 > 0:40:23You are a bereaved human being who now chooses to feel nothing.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25The choices are mine to make.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27There's no going back.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30My valet will be waiting.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Then you mustn't let me keep you.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35The forecast is for evening showers.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Why don't you take this?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45At least let me protect you from the rain.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47A reckless offer to make to a thief.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Well, I know that I will get it back when I see you again.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54SIREN APPROACHES
0:40:56 > 0:40:58A bientot, Father Brown.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04TYRES SCREECH
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Where's Flambeau? - I'm afraid...he gave me the slip.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28He played me for a fool.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Beguiled and deceived by easy flattery.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Yes, well, Flambeau can be quite the charmer.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37You let him off the hook. Again.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40You're beginning to sound like Inspector Sullivan.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44On top of everything else, I've just had the bishop on the telephone,
0:41:44 > 0:41:46"anguished" and "outraged" at the loss of the painting.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Wait till he reads about Binkie's wartime exploits.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- Oh...!- There'll be quite a few sweaty palms in St Peter's.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59I made a promise to Rebecca,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02and we're all going to have to live with the consequences.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04While Flambeau gets away with the stolen loot.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Jesus, Mary and Joseph. - How on earth did you find it?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17He didn't have the painting when he left the museum.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Events conspired against him.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25'He realised that I could help him get it out of the Belvedere,
0:42:25 > 0:42:26'hidden in my brolly.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31'Some clever improvisation to evade the police.'
0:42:31 > 0:42:33That's him! That's our man!
0:42:34 > 0:42:36I need to get you out of here.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- I can't leave the others! - It isn't safe.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41He knew I'd work out where he was hiding.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44An unwitting accomplice.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Unfortunately for Flambeau...
0:42:48 > 0:42:49..I can be absent-minded.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00"For what shall it profit a man
0:43:00 > 0:43:02"if he gain the whole world
0:43:02 > 0:43:04"and suffer the loss of his soul."
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Argh!
0:43:12 > 0:43:14HE MUTTERS IN FRENCH
0:43:22 > 0:43:23So wait,
0:43:23 > 0:43:26he didn't go back to save Rebecca?
0:43:26 > 0:43:27Who knows?
0:43:27 > 0:43:29But for Flambeau,
0:43:29 > 0:43:30redemption is still...
0:43:32 > 0:43:34..a long way off.
