0:00:24 > 0:00:25I told them.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I said all along there was a second chamber.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35You know what this means?
0:00:35 > 0:00:39The name of Beresford will become the stuff of legend.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Who is he?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04"Princely...High Priest.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08"Powerful of strength.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10"Sacred of appearance.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14"Amenhotep."
0:01:21 > 0:01:25"He who disturbs the appointed of the Gods...
0:01:26 > 0:01:27"..shall suffer their wrath."
0:01:33 > 0:01:35BARKS ORDERS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE
0:01:51 > 0:01:56How...beautiful he is.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03SCREAMING
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Thank you for this, Mr Hubble.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Such invaluable research for my latest novel.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45My pleasure, Lady Felicia.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48The Beresford collection is the only private museum
0:02:48 > 0:02:52to own a complete set of 12th dynasty embalming tools.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Did Father Brown tell you the name of it?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's entitled Love In The Dunes -
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The Adventures Of A Flame-Haired Beauty.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01What's this?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Some kind of crochet needle?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05A brain hook.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Inserted through the nostril to smash the brain
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and extract it through the nose, during the embalming process.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I don't know what's wrong with a good, hygienic, Christian burial.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20What's down here?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Oh, erm...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Sir Raleigh's private collection.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Now, over here,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31we have some particularly fine examples of new kingdom scarabs.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Are you limping, Father?
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Old war wound.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Nothing camphor oil won't fix.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Gout.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Shrapnel!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50That's what the doctor said, was it?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53At the appointment I made for you this morning?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55HE SNEEZES
0:03:55 > 0:03:56- Bless you.- It's pollen.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59He's a martyr to hay fever.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Oh, I picked up your eye drops at the surgery.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Thank you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10When are you going to put that poor man out of his misery?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Walter and I are good friends, but...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15At a certain time in life, isn't that enough?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16He'd want us to leave here.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20CAR HORN BEEPS
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Did you know about this?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25When did Raleigh deign to inform me of his movements?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29He and his son Leo are supposed to be in America on a lecture tour.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30DISTANT: Valeri-i-i-ie!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Valeri-i-ie!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Valeri-i-ie!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Hello, Raleigh.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Isn't Leo with you?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Oh, he's following on behind.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Where the hell is everyone?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55The staff were given leave.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Some notice would have been appreciated.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Change of plan.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Who the hell are you?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Hello, Raleigh.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04I hope you don't mind.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Mr Hubble has been giving us a tour of your museum.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Felicia Windemere! Oh, ho, ho, ho!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12You haven't changed a bit.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Neither have you!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16As beautiful as ever. You'll stay for lunch.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I'm afraid we couldn't possibly intrude.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Lay extra places. It's a celebration.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22POINTED COUGH
0:05:22 > 0:05:24And here she is.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29My love, let me introduce you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32No! I want to guess.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Let me see.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I think that is Hubble.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Very good!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Miss Oliphant, the faithful secretary.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42And you must be Raleigh's daughter.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Tell them.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48This is Caterina...
0:05:48 > 0:05:49My wife.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Congratulations!
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Champagne?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59No, thank you. We've only just finished breakfast.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01How lovely, thank you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06THEY GIGGLE
0:06:06 > 0:06:08How long have you been married?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Two weeks.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It was a whirlwind romance.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I couldn't wait to make her my wife.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17How romantic.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Caterina attended one of my lectures.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I looked up...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25and there she was, sitting before me in the front row.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27So you're a student of archaeology?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I am a student of many things,
0:06:30 > 0:06:35and the whole world knows the exploits of Sir Raleigh Beresford.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38When can I see Amenhotep?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39HE SPLUTTERS
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Oh, I'm sorry... I beg your pardon.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Fingers and thumbs!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Yes, I was going to tell you.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I've donated him to the Oriental Institute in Chicago.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Well, say something, man. I thought you of all people would approve.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I'm surprised. You always swore...
0:06:59 > 0:07:00A man can change his mind.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Who is Amenhotep?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Raleigh's Mummy,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07locked away for decades...
0:07:07 > 0:07:09intact, and unwrapped.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Not on display in the museum?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Security reasons.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16But now he'll be shared with the whole world...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19and your name will be immortalised.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20I want to see him.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23And you will.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I want to see him now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31LIGHT BULB BUZZES
0:07:36 > 0:07:37I say...
0:07:39 > 0:07:40It's very dusty.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42The chamber hasn't been opened in decades.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48'I wouldn't if I were you.'
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Have you taken leave of your senses?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55My son, Leo. Soft. No sense of danger.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58And you've already lost one wife.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Are you really going to be so careless with another?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Hasn't he told you it is cursed?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I want to see inside.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06The air is too humid.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It must be opened under laboratory conditions.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14How beautiful he is.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18"How beautiful he is."
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Aristocratic, flame-haired beauty,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29crushed within the stagnant confines of her class.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Ripe for adventure.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Thrown into the company of a mysterious explorer,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37bound on an expedition for Egypt.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- I trust I won't have to consult my lawyers?- I guarantee you won't.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- GHOSTLY VOICE: ('Amenhote-e-ep...') - The book starts in...
0:08:45 > 0:08:47CATERINA SCREAMS
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Goodness, child. You look as if you've seen a ghost.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53I tho... I thought I...
0:09:00 > 0:09:01I'll come with you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Non!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05You must stay with your guests.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I confess to curiosity about your cursed mummy.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Wretched thing killed my mother.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Evelyn was on Raleigh's expedition.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20There was a rock fall.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22She was killed, instantly,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24along with two Egyptian bearers.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I'm very sorry.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29"He who disturbs the appointed of the Gods shall suffer their wrath."
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Enough!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I've put the past behind me and so will you.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35God help me, that's an order.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48The view of the lake is wonderful at this time of year.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Oh, good.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50When was the house built?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03CROWS CAWING
0:10:25 > 0:10:27SHE WHIMPERS
0:10:27 > 0:10:30WHISPERING: Amenhote-e-e-p.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46God and his Holy saints!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Are you all right? - Perfectly!
0:10:48 > 0:10:49I thought you were lying down.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I needed some air!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Do you have to monitor my every breath?!
0:10:54 > 0:10:55I'm going to change.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10I need a bloody drink.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Why don't I fetch some?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14God damn it all, woman, stop fussing me!
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Trouble in paradise?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Paradise?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34WHISPERING: Cateri-i-ina-a-a.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03'Amenhote-e-e-ep...'
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Goodbye, Father!
0:12:04 > 0:12:05LONG SCREAM
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Key's in the lock.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10THUDS ON DOOR
0:12:18 > 0:12:19She's dead.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29HE PRAYS UNDER HIS BREATH
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Amen!
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Ah...amen...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Amen..ho..tep...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Sergeant, what do we know about the victim?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Caterina Beresford, 21.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Ah, Sir Raleigh's daughter? - Wife, sir.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Witnesses heard screams and the victim struggling with an assailant,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59but by the time they got there...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yeah, any indication as to cause of death?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Not yet. Police surgeon's on his way.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Oh, one other thing, sir. - Yes?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07According to the witness who found her,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09the door was locked from the inside.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11That's all I need. Who was this witness?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Detective Inspector Sullivan,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Kembleford Po...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19lice. Thank you.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23My condolences on the death of your wife, Sir,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25but I need to ask you all some questions.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'll ask the questions, policeman.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30How did my wife die?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32We'll know more after the postmortem.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Sir Raleigh, you, Mr Beresford,
0:13:36 > 0:13:37and Miss...
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Oliphant.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43..Oliphant were unaccounted for at the time of death,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45so I shall require an account of your whereabouts.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Damn your impertinence!
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I was in the office making phone calls and typing letters.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Did you make any phone calls between 3.00 and 3.10?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm not...
0:13:55 > 0:13:56No, I don't think so.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Mr Beresford?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02I was in the garage.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05My car developed a little rattle on the way down.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Do you have a habit of acting as your own mechanic?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Only when I'm in the middle of nowhere.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Which leaves you, Sir Raleigh.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15I was in my study...
0:14:16 > 0:14:18..alone. For all the good it will do you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24And my wife's bedroom door was locked from the inside.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Before she died, she spoke a name.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Amenhotep.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34God, no.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Don't say I didn't warn you.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41And where can I find Mr...
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Amen...hotep?
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Sir!
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Sir!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50The Chief Super wants updating, sir.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52You can tell the Chief Super I've an unexplained death,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54a houseful of people with no alibi,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and a 3,000-year-old Mummy on the prowl.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Don't tell the Chief Superintendent that, Sergeant.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Yes, sir.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03No, sir.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24A Mr Lincoln from Chicago phoned earlier this morning.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26They want to know when they can pack the Mummy for shipment.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Never!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Tell him the answer's never.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I don't mean to intrude upon your grief.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43But, as Caterina was a Catholic,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I was wondering if you'd like a mass said for her soul.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47What good will it do?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It would give comfort to her family.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51She has no family.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55They were all lost in France during the war.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You should eat something.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58I can't eat.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01How can anyone eat at a time like this?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11What did Leo mean when he said his mother's death
0:16:11 > 0:16:13was "only the start"?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Beresford bought Amenhotep back to London for a public unwrapping,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22in front of the creme de la creme of the archaeological world,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24all gnashing their teeth at his coup.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25It never took place.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Dickie was next to die,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Raleigh's younger brother, and a member of the expedition.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36On the boat home, he fell mysteriously overboard and drowned.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41The day of the unwrapping, Leo was struck down with fever.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Evelyn should never have taken a two-year-old child to Egypt,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48where it's hardly surprising he picked up some terrible...
0:16:48 > 0:16:49tropical disease.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Beresford was deranged with paranoia.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55He found some self-styled Egyptian priest
0:16:55 > 0:16:58to perform prayers of exorcism
0:16:58 > 0:17:00and re-entombed Amenhotep.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Later that evening,
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Leo's fever broke...
0:17:05 > 0:17:08..and Beresford has never set eyes on the Mummy since.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Until now.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I'd like you and Mr Beresford to remove your shirts.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19How dare you!
0:17:19 > 0:17:22The police surgeon found traces of blood and skin
0:17:22 > 0:17:23under your wife's fingernails,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25along with evidence of bruising to her neck.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27This is merely for purposes of elimination.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And what if I refuse?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31That's your prerogative, Sir.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I assumed you'd prefer to do this privately,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36but we can continue at the station if you choose.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Damn you. - I can explain.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46'I loved her.'
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Leave him!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Come with me. Why stay?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56For the same reason I married him, silly boy.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58So you ARE what everyone thinks...
0:17:58 > 0:18:01just a vulgar little gold-digger.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Leo...
0:18:04 > 0:18:05..so naive!
0:18:06 > 0:18:07And what about us?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11There is no us!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You are a diversion that has stopped being diverting
0:18:14 > 0:18:16and has become...tedious.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18A diversion!?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Just some piece of rag that you can use and toss aside?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I won't let you.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Aah!
0:18:36 > 0:18:37You little...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I knew it!
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Leo Beresford, I'm arresting you on suspicion
0:18:41 > 0:18:43of the murder of Caterina Beresford.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I didn't do it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46I couldn't! I loved her.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You forced yourself on her, admit it, damn you!
0:18:49 > 0:18:50You are not obliged to say anything,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53but anything you do say will be taken down in writing and may...
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Stop!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57He's telling the truth.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59I did it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01I murdered Caterina.
0:19:03 > 0:19:0726 stalls is rather excessive, Mrs McCarthy.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Well, it's not as if you don't have the space.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Just think of it as your Christian duty.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16But do we have to have Splat the Rat in the walled garden?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19My camomile lawn will never survive the hoards of rampaging children.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Mrs McCarthy, Lady Felicia.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23There you are, Father. Now, what did the doctor say about...?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Miss Oliph...- What is that smell?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Valer...- Camphor oil.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29For all the good it will do your gout!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Valerie Oliphant has confessed to the murder of Caterina.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- No!- But she's second soprano of the church choir!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Why would you confess to a murder you didn't commit?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43To protect someone whose life is worth more than your own.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46You and Sir Raleigh had an affair?
0:19:46 > 0:19:47It may be hard to imagine now,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50but at one time I possessed if not beauty then a bloom of youth.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- I didn't mean to imply... - There's no need to apologise.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55And this was...?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Decades ago.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Why did it end?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00He was married.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I was just a notch on his bedpost.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Yet you stayed in his employ all this time.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08A woman may hope, Inspector.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11And, for 30 years, I've been as a wife to him,
0:20:11 > 0:20:12in every way but one.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Did Caterina Beresford dash that hope?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17She would have driven him to his grave,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19gold-digging little minx.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Pardon my language, but...
0:20:20 > 0:20:22she deserved what she got.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Which was?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I killed her.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I put my hands round her neck...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and I squeezed the life from her.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38And then locked the door behind you?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I have a master key to every room in the house.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I locked the door afterwards...
0:20:43 > 0:20:45to buy myself time to get away.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Father Brown swears that the key was in the lock.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Father Brown was mistaken.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52In that case, Valerie Oliphant,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I am charging you with the murder of Caterina Beresford.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Your wife was beautiful.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I had TWO beautiful wives.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Your business?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24A member of my flock has confessed to murder.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I believe she's protecting your son.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30More fool her.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Leo couldn't kill anyone,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35the milksop doesn't have it in him.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38An apple fallen so far from the tree it landed in the next field.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43He takes after his mother...
0:21:45 > 0:21:46..his real mother.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I couldn't help noticing the way her eyes follow him...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59..watching his every move.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Once you look for the resemblances, you can see them.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Confessional rules apply, Priest.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Or do I have to be a left-footer?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25God does not discriminate.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36After we were married,
0:22:36 > 0:22:40I discovered Evelyn was infertile.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Imagine a man like me without prospect of son and heir.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48It must have been devastating for you both.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49When Valerie fell pregnant...
0:22:51 > 0:22:52..I made her an offer.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Leo was born abroad...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58to Lady Beresford
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and returned to England as mine and Evelyn's son.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05His real mother Valerie came back.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07You think that was my idea?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10That was her only condition - to see him grow.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15After Evelyn died, surely...?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22What? That...I should have proffered my hand in marriage?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Her father was a bought ledger clerk...
0:23:27 > 0:23:30..and I didn't have to buy her silence.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32My documentation is irrefutable.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Who'd believe the ramblings of an obsessed woman? No...
0:23:38 > 0:23:40she'll take her secret with her to the grave.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Which will be sooner rather than later,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45unless we find the murderer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50My wife didn't die by human hand.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53And I...
0:23:54 > 0:23:56..don't believe in ghosts.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Your whole system of faith is based on a man risen from the dead.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Caterina died alone in a locked room.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09She named her killer.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Leave Amenhotep in peace,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16or I warn you, Priest, you'll be next.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20HE LAUGH
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Yes, obviously there are a few outstanding enquiries
0:24:24 > 0:24:26to complete, but...
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Yes, indeed. I'll do my utmost.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Ah, yes. Goodbye, sir.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40KNOCK ON DOOR
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Valerie Oliphant is innocent.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43She's protecting someone,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45which means the murderer is still at large,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47but something tells me you already know that.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51You have exactly 20 seconds to get out of my office,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54or I'll have you arrested and thrown in the cells.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56On what charge?
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Anything.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'll find something that will stick!
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Very well, Inspector.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Miss Oliphant, the postmortem shows that Lady Beresford
0:25:08 > 0:25:10didn't die of strangulation,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12which means you have some explaining to do.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49'Sergeant, release Valerie Oliphant on bail for wasting police time.'
0:25:49 > 0:25:51'Right away, sir.'
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Lady Felicia, do you mind if I ask what it is that you're doing?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Inspector, how fortuitous. Do take a seat.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03You're in my chair.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I'm writing you a note about a soiree I'm holding next month,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12just some local luminaries and rising stars of the district.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Yes?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's for "Inspector Sullivan and Guest."
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Do you have someone you'd like to bring?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26No.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29No...young lady in your life?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31No, Lady Felicia, I...
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Shame.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36And you so...
0:26:36 > 0:26:37young and handsome.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Don't you get lonely?
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Thank you for this.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I shall endeavour to be there.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49I look forward to it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Right.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Au revoir...Inspector.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14RADIO: 'And now, yesterday's results from Thirsk.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18'2.50, The Archibald House Novices Hurdle.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19'First, Mr Neil...'
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Dr Fairfax has had a cancellation...
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- 'Second, Half A Policeman...' - ..and can squeeze you in at...
0:27:24 > 0:27:26'Third, Troubled Parishioner.'
0:27:28 > 0:27:30..at five o'clock.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Hello, all.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Mission accomplished?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Rather. Caterina wasn't strangled - she was poisoned with atropine.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Ah-ha.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40What are you thinking?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45The answer to the mystery is that there is no mystery.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50The crime was committed before Caterina even entered that room.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Valerie.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Why didn't you tell me you were being released?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I would have met you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03I didn't want a fuss.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I wouldn't consider it one.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Dear Walter,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08what would I do without you?
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Then come away with me.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14My offer still stands.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I have means for both of us.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18You needn't be at his beck and call ever again.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I can't.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I know you think he murdered his wife.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Why else would you make such a ludicrous confession?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Stay here when you could be next?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Or the house by the sea you've always yearned for?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Devon or Cornwall.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37The South of France.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Sounds nice.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Then say the word.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Say yes.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49I'm sorry.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18What do you expect to find, Father?
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Well...
0:29:22 > 0:29:25..it's rather what I expect NOT to find.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Don't tell me my employer has convinced you
0:29:27 > 0:29:29that Amenhotep is risen from the tomb
0:29:29 > 0:29:31and prowling the corridors?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Caterina wasn't cursed.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36She died of atropine poisoning.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39I don't understand.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Eye drops.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44I picked up your eye drops at the surgery.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45'So innocuous...'
0:29:45 > 0:29:46Thank you.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49'but a deadly poison and a powerful hallucinogenic.'
0:29:50 > 0:29:53A colourless, odourless poison,
0:29:53 > 0:29:57just sitting there, in your pocket.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Top me up, Hubble!
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Temptation must have been overwhelming.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07But I dread to think...
0:30:07 > 0:30:10what horrors Caterina saw before she died.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Why would I kill her?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Because she was the driving force
0:30:15 > 0:30:17behind Sir Raleigh's change of heart.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Because, at all costs,
0:30:21 > 0:30:27you had to stop Amenhotep being disentombed.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I'm an archaeologist!
0:30:29 > 0:30:32I seek to uncover the past, not bury it.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33But...
0:30:33 > 0:30:35what lies buried here?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39This is not just a tomb, is it?
0:30:41 > 0:30:42It's a treasure trove...
0:30:43 > 0:30:45..locked away,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48undisturbed for decades.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49That's absurd.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Well, there's one way to find out.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Very well, Father.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55I have nothing to fear.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Ohhhhh!
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Oh, I was hoping you wouldn't recover consciousness.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22How very thoughtful.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26I want you to know my actions were for the most chivalrous of reasons.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29A damsel in distress.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Yes.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34How could I provide her with an escape on a Curator's salary?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38And a hoard of riches before your eyes.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Treasures that would never see the light of day,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44so I removed it to examine at my leisure.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47To desecrate at your leisure.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Semantics.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52What's to differentiate the archaeologist from the grave robber,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55bar education and hubris?
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Fortunately, antiquities attract the sort of collectors
0:31:59 > 0:32:01who don't ask questions.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03HE CHUCKLES
0:32:03 > 0:32:05What about Amenhotep?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Nothing more than dust and bones.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14The remains of a mortal man.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17A husk, expired millennia ago,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20despite what my employer may have believed.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22But as long as he believed,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24your secret was safe...
0:32:24 > 0:32:28until the arrival of the second Mrs Beresford.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Scheming little minx,
0:32:31 > 0:32:32blinded by greed...
0:32:33 > 0:32:36..and he blinded by her.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39You murdered...
0:32:39 > 0:32:40an innocent girl.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44I had no intention of spending the rest of my days in prison...
0:32:44 > 0:32:47and that little trollop was anything but innocent.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Whereas I...
0:32:50 > 0:32:54..endeavoured to save a genuinely virtuous woman
0:32:54 > 0:32:58from a life of servitude, and regret.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Only...
0:33:01 > 0:33:02O-o-oh!
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Walter, Walter...
0:33:07 > 0:33:08..she turned you down.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12I'm so sorry.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14"A faint heart never won fair lady."
0:33:17 > 0:33:18I am a patient man, Father.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22She'll see...
0:33:24 > 0:33:25..in time.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- She'll see.- Repent...
0:33:30 > 0:33:32..and you will be forgiven.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35You shouldn't have meddled, Father.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40This is regrettable, but will be painless
0:33:40 > 0:33:43and give you time to make peace with your God,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45and pray for your soul.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49I'd rather use my time to pray for yours.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52HE CHUCKLES DARKLY
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Mr Hubble!
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I don't suppose you've seen Father Brown? He's gone AWOL.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Oh, not since this morning.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Perhaps he's dropped in on Valerie.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25What did I tell you? He won't be far from the biscuit tin.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27He's lying.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Didn't you smell him, Mrs M?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33A distinct whiff of...
0:34:33 > 0:34:34BOTH: Camphor oil.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48SHE SNIFFS
0:34:48 > 0:34:49He was here.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Well, he's not here now. Praise be.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Nasty heathen place.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59The dead should be buried IN the ground,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02not lying around on display like ornaments.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03- CREAKING - Sh-sh!
0:35:03 > 0:35:05What is it?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06I can hear something.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12The only thing I can hear is the sound of an over-active imagination.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- Now, can we get out of here? - Wait!- Horrible spooky place.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17Wait, wait!
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Oh, what are you doing now?
0:35:22 > 0:35:253,000-year-old mummies don't bleed.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Oh, no.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Really?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- There's only one way to find out.- No!
0:35:35 > 0:35:38"He who disturbs the appointed of the Gods shall suffer their wrath!"
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Not half as much as they'll suffer mine
0:35:40 > 0:35:43if any harm's come to the Father.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Are you just going to stand there,
0:35:45 > 0:35:47or are you going to help me lift this lid?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Oh, he's dead!
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Not yet, he isn't.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Father.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Father, wake up.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Come on, Father, wake up!
0:36:08 > 0:36:10It's no good, Mrs M!
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- His left foot.- What?- Don't ask!
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Give his big toe a good tweak,
0:36:15 > 0:36:17as hard as you can!
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Rise and shine, Father!
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Your time has not yet come.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Sorry, Father.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26HE GASPS
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Thank you, Sir Raleigh. I'll be in touch.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34"Faint heart never won fair lady."
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Ah, Mr Hubble.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38The investigation has revealed that Lady Beresford died of poisoning,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41which makes it necessary to re-interview everyone.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Of course, Inspector.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Whatever I can do to help.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Mr Hubble!
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Mr Hubble!
0:37:01 > 0:37:02POLICE WHISTLES BLOW
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Mr Hubble!
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Mr Hubble, stay where you are!
0:37:10 > 0:37:12HE CHUCKLES
0:37:29 > 0:37:31MOTOR GRINDS TO A HALT
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Ah!
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Whoa!
0:37:58 > 0:38:01('Amenhote-e-e-ep...')
0:38:02 > 0:38:05('Amenhote-e-e-ep...')
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Aargh!
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Help!
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Help!
0:38:18 > 0:38:20('Hubble...')
0:38:53 > 0:38:56I think some hot tea is in order.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57No, thank you.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Nonsense. You are chilled to the bone.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Take it from me, Inspector,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03resistance is futile.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Oh.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09I hear Father Brown has you ladies to thank for a timely rescue.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10How is he?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Oh, don't you be worrying about him.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15That man has the constitution of an ox
0:39:15 > 0:39:17and the luck of the devil.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Sir!
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Looks like his foot got tangled in the weeds -
0:39:20 > 0:39:22that'll be what dragged him down.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Where do you think you're going?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31As the police no longer require my presence,
0:39:31 > 0:39:32as far away from here as possible.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34You're going nowhere, until you admit you lied.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35I told the truth.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38You forced yourself on my wife and she defended her honour.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- There was no affair. Caterina was innocent.- Just say it, Leo.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44It doesn't matter, just...say what he wants to hear.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49You may have raised a milksop for a son...
0:39:50 > 0:39:52..but he isn't a liar.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Please!
0:39:54 > 0:39:55No!
0:39:55 > 0:39:57No, where will you go?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59I don't know.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Steam boat to South America.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02French Foreign Legion.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- Don't cry, Valerie.- No!
0:40:05 > 0:40:08I'll miss you.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11For as long as I can remember you've always been...
0:40:11 > 0:40:12there.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15I'll write.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19SHE SOBS
0:40:27 > 0:40:28What have you done?
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Your vanity and ego did this...
0:40:32 > 0:40:34and now you're on your own.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- I'll pack my things and leave tonight.- You won't leave.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41I've no reason to stay.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Well...
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- What about...?- You?
0:40:46 > 0:40:52I stopped loving you the day you took my child from my arms
0:40:52 > 0:40:54and gave him to your wife.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58You're a stupid, stupid man!
0:41:04 > 0:41:08The only curse on this house is you.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11It's not enough to lose two wives,
0:41:11 > 0:41:13you've now driven away your only son.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15- He's an adulterer.- As are you.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Perhaps the apple landed closer to the tree than you thought.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28You think I can forgive him?
0:41:30 > 0:41:35You should pray that he forgives you
0:41:35 > 0:41:40for denying him his mother for his entire life
0:41:40 > 0:41:44and that she forgives YOU
0:41:44 > 0:41:48for taking away her son.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- It's too late to change the past, Priest.- And the future?
0:41:54 > 0:41:58"Judge not and you shall not be judged.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02"Condemn not and you shall not be condemned.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06"Forgive and you shall be forgiven."
0:42:19 > 0:42:21I commend the soul of Walter Henry Hubble.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27in the mercy of God rest in peace.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28ALL: Amen.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Goodbye, Walter.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Do you think he is at peace?
0:42:38 > 0:42:42His actions were not the actions of a sane man...
0:42:42 > 0:42:44and God is merciful.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46And that's the end of that, I hope.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And of all this business about a curse!
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I think the curse has lifted.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57Will you stay here?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Until I find my own house.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Raleigh's been very generous
0:43:01 > 0:43:04and Leo's promised to come and visit all the time.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07I still can't fathom his U-turn after all these years.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Confession is good for the soul.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Beware Greeks bearing lunch!
0:43:14 > 0:43:17We have cold roast beef, ham salad and apple tart.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19And a rather licentious Burgundy.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Splendid.
0:43:21 > 0:43:22Not for you, Father.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Remember what the doctor said.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27No red meat, no pork, no sugar
0:43:27 > 0:43:30and strictly no alcohol.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35Mrs McCarthy, what would I do without you?
