0:00:04 > 0:00:05Shot!
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Something to eat, your ladyship?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18No, thank you. I'm saving my palate for the wine-tasting.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20And why doesn't that surprise me?
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Careful, Anthony! We're not running the Derby!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Is that the reclusive colonel?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29He looks like a hero from an H Rider Haggard novel.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34In that case, does that make Lady Edna She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Ladies and gentlemen,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40welcome to the launch of our first official vintage.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43If you'd like to follow me to the winery, we shall begin the tour.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Oh, heads!
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Well stopped.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Here it comes!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Not joining us for the tour?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04The colonel don't want the likes of me there.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Enjoy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Let me introduce Gregoire Bisset,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14the rising star of French viniculture.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Gregoire has helped me transform our little patch of England
0:01:19 > 0:01:21into a vineyard to rival the finest in Europe,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25one of only three wine estates in the whole country.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27And he speaks excellent English,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31so we don't have to rely on my schoolboy French.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Erm...
0:01:35 > 0:01:37So here's the press room,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40where we extract the juice from the new harvest.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Et, er...
0:01:45 > 0:01:50we grow Seyval blanc which creates a beautiful white juice.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52I show you...
0:02:09 > 0:02:10I thought he said white.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13This is wrong...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Was it your dog?
0:03:03 > 0:03:04It was my son's.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Bacchus was a present to Tom from the colonel.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Find Tom and keep him away. He shouldn't see this.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yes, Mrs Grayson.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Shall I take you back to the house, Lady Edna?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I think that would be best.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I think we could all do with some fresh air.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25An excellent idea. We shall continue with the tour.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Tom!
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Where's Tom?
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Went inside.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Stay away from him.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36You'll fill his head with mischief.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41He's a young lad. His head's already full of mischief.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Anyway, he's the only one round here who don't think I'm scum.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Want some?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Pinched that?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Colonel don't mind. There's plenty more where that came from.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56You'll get in trouble.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57I don't think so.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Why don't you come and join me? We could erm...have a little party.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03- No, thanks.- Why not? Huh?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Prefer your men a bit more continental?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08You're drunk.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11I just want a cuddle.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Here, see?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- You're desperate to get your hands on me.- No! Let go of me!
0:04:18 > 0:04:19What's the matter, eh?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21No!
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Urgh!
0:04:24 > 0:04:25You vicious...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Unfortunately, we must battle the English weather.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- I've heard of hair of the dog, but...- Shh!
0:04:34 > 0:04:35The key is irrigation.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38With good irrigation, we can transform water into wine.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Who would do such a thing to a poor dog?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It was Henry Gibbs, I'm telling you.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Er, could you excuse me for a moment? Just carry on.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50One second.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Over here we have a...a small area of Pinot blanc.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Bit of an experiment...
0:04:58 > 0:04:59What happened?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Gibbs.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02What did he do?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03He tried to...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I'm sorry. You're busy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Tea?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Tea is for gossip. Brandy for shock.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Oh, careful with that decanter.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Wedding present from my late husband.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Oh.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Along with this...
0:05:27 > 0:05:29That is beautiful.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Contains the key to his heart.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I must confess to an ulterior motive in getting you alone.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Oh, forgive me, Father, my defrocking days are long gone.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45More raisin than grape, nowadays.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I wanted to have a chat.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52You have not been to Mass for months.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Well, I...lose track of the days.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55I er...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57And my Anthony's too busy to drive me.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Hardly surprising, dealing with a saboteur.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Criminals everywhere.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The country's going to the dogs.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08If you'll excuse the pun.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Hmm.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Well, your son is a colonel. He'll look after you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13SHE CHUCKLES
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Don't you let that eye patch fool you.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20He got that walking behind his father's horse as a boy.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Anthony was in the...
0:06:23 > 0:06:25What's it? The...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27The diplomatic corps.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29The real army couldn't get rid of him quick enough.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Would you?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33After you...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36So kind. I can't wait to taste it.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Let me know if you'd like to place an order.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Has Mother offended you? Because erm...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52She was a little agitated, that's all.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56She's not been quite herself of late.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Exhaustion probably. She's having trouble sleeping.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Have you consulted a doctor?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04All "avaricious quacks", apparently.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Mmm.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11I've tried talking to her but erm...she doesn't make it easy.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14My punishment for spending two decades abroad.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'm the prodigal son trying to make amends.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I have a book that might help.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Priests must be familiar with the idiosyncrasies of older people.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Shall I drop it round tomorrow?
0:07:26 > 0:07:27I'd appreciate it.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Erm...is there anything else you'd like help with?
0:07:32 > 0:07:33The dog...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Ah, I've heard you're a bit of a sleuth.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37No. Erm...
0:07:37 > 0:07:39That is a problem I can deal with myself.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Until tomorrow, then.- Tomorrow.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58What on earth were you trying to achieve?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I told you. I want a share of the vineyard.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Half my harvest was in that vat.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05There won't be a vineyard if you carry on like this!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Then give me what I want.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I spilt blood for this country.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I deserve my piece of it as much as you.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14And how would I explain that to Lady Edna?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17That I've given part of our estate away to a stranger, a labourer.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Not my problem.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Look, I'm trying to help you here.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24You're the one who said that you can't afford to pay me off.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27But if you'd prefer to give me the money...
0:08:27 > 0:08:28You've crossed a line.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I want you gone. Today.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33You sure about that?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I've tolerated you for long enough.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Don't presume to know what sort of man you're dealing with.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Leave.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'll be back for what I'm owed!
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Thank you, Father.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06So, Father, you got any leads?
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Woof! Woof!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10That's not funny, Sid! Poor Tom.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12First of all, he lost his father in the war
0:09:12 > 0:09:15and then somebody goes and murderers his dog.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Father...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Don't you want it?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I prefer my wine with a little less...body.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Hmm.- Good night.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30HONKS HORN
0:09:35 > 0:09:36WINDOW SHATTERS
0:09:48 > 0:09:49PISTOL SHOT
0:09:52 > 0:09:53PISTOL SHOT
0:09:55 > 0:09:56BIRDS CAW
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Henry Gibbs?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Before you say anything, I'm just here to see the colonel.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Just don't get involved and don't get in my way.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Have you seen...?
0:10:58 > 0:10:59- Yes.- Yes, of course you have.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:11:07 > 0:11:08What do you think, sir?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Two gunshots, only one entry wound.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Bruising to his neck.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17So...
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Struggle for the weapon.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Gun goes off, hitting the side table.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Gibbs is overpowered by the killer,
0:11:26 > 0:11:27shoots him at close range.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And the bullet passes through the body...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35..before hitting the mirror.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Curious corbelling.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Gibbs was well-built.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58So, I'd say our suspect is probably male,
0:11:58 > 0:11:59fit,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01possibly with combat training.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Anything else I can do?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Could you offer my mother some words of comfort when she wakes up?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12She was disturbed by the commotion, found the whole thing very upsetting.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I gave her something to help her get back to sleep.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Father, if you wouldn't mind leaving us?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I'd like to check some basic facts.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31We told your colleague.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33We heard two gunshots in the night.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36We all went to my study and found the body.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- What more do you need to know? - Who arrived first?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39I did.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Lord have mercy!
0:12:43 > 0:12:44He's dead.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Shall I call the police?
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Erm, yes, of course.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- The police. - The labourers' wages are gone!
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Oh...!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Your bedroom's nearest the study and yet you were the last one to arrive.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I checked on her ladyship first. She was still asleep.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Only, I must have disturbed her
0:13:04 > 0:13:06because next thing, she's downstairs
0:13:06 > 0:13:07and all screaming the place down.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Lady Edna was understandably distressed.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Gibbs was killed by a handgun. Is there one on the premises?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14No.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I've ordered a search of the house and grounds, just in case.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Surely it was just a burglary gone wrong?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Are you suggesting that Gibbs disturbed a burglar?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I'm suggesting he WAS one.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26In that case, it's hardly likely that he shot himself.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Maybe he had an accomplice? - Exactly!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31The other fellow shot Gibbs and then ran off with the money.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Possible. The missing money wasn't with Gibbs' belongings.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36But that doesn't mean the accomplice isn't someone in this room.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40How well did you all know the victim?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Miss Fletcher probably knew him better than the rest of us.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44That ain't true!
0:13:45 > 0:13:46He was...after me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I told him I weren't interested.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50None of us knew him.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53He came here looking for work and has been nothing but trouble since.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56In fact, I went to see him yesterday and told him to move on.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Did you indeed?
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Well, that'll be all.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02The sergeant will take your fingerprints.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Until we find our killer, no-one is to leave the estate.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Don't you remember anything?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I think I...had a bad dream.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18We had a break-in, Mother, remember?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I er...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23..think I would like to be left in peace.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Perhaps a breath of fresh air?
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Very well.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I'll be back to check on you later.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37So, did you meet Gregoire on your travels?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40No, after I came back.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41I er...
0:14:41 > 0:14:44..needed help here, so I placed an advertisement.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Gregoire turned up like a gift from Dionysus
0:14:47 > 0:14:50with a reference from a top vineyard in Bordeaux.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Do you still have the reference?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Only, the Kembleford Wine Appreciation Society
0:14:56 > 0:14:59would be very keen to know more about our Gallic friend.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Done.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'll dig it out for you.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05He's a good chap, take my word for it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Er, Mrs McCarthy...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12..noticed a hint of romance between Gregoire and Emily.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Did she now?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17He's certainly keen.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19As for her, I wouldn't know.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23What about Gibbs?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25An itinerant labourer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Arrived a few weeks ago.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29First time I'd laid eyes on him.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Inspector! I've found something!
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Ah...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Well done, Sergeant.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Good work.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43An Enfield No.2.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Standard issue British Army service revolver.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Mark one double star.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Not in production until 1942.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I was in Africa by then.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Anyway, I've always preferred the Webley.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Those later Enfields don't have a safety on the hammer.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Tend to go off if you have to hit the deck in a hurry.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You seem to know a lot about guns,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07considering you're a member of the diplomatic corps.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08One picks things up.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11If you'll excuse me?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Still here, Father?
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Er...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Er, yes. God's work, never done. - Mm-hm...
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Thank you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Mrs Grayson, is it true you have access to the safe?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Colonel and I both have keys.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I've done the accounts since the old master's day.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43For the vineyard as well?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Right now that's just a very long list of expenses.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48The vineyard's not making any money?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Well, it's early days.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'd like to see the books, if I may?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I'll get them for you when I've finished preparing lunch.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59The Met are on the telephone, sir. They've got something for you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Very good, Sergeant.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03- Oh...- Hands off!
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Must have been distressing...
0:17:19 > 0:17:20..seeing his dead body.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I know what you're getting at, Father,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26but there weren't nothing between us.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Now, please, I'm already behind.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Ah, Miss Fletcher...
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Would you excuse us, please, Father? - Oh, stay.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I know what you coppers are like.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I imagine you do. I've just had an interesting chat
0:17:38 > 0:17:40with a colleague down at the Metropolitan Police.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43You've quite a colourful history.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Trespass.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Theft.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Soliciting.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50You try living on the streets, bombs falling all around,
0:17:50 > 0:17:51parents six feet under.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I did what I had to.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Common assault.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Gibbs had a bite mark on his hand.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Oh, he had it coming!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Well...I never shot nobody.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Yeah, I bit him, so what?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I was defending myself. He was...trying it on.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Trying what on?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Oh, Inspector...
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I think we both know what she means by that.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Did you report this?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I told the colonel. Said he'd ask Gibbs to leave.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23I don't know what took him so long.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Well, Gibbs used to joke that the colonel would never fire him
0:18:27 > 0:18:30because they were old army buddies, but...
0:18:30 > 0:18:31They served together?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I doubt it. Gibbs was a born liar.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Look, the colonel is a good man,
0:18:38 > 0:18:39a hero.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42He saved my life the first time I met him.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46One night, in Farringdon, not long after the war,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48three lads dragged me down an alley.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51The colonel's walking past, hears me scream and comes running,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53scares them off.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55He gave me this job to get me off the streets.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56A hero, indeed.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Three against one.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59How did he scare them off?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Well, he had his gun, so...
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Colonel, I have a few more questions regarding the murder of Henry Gibbs.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15If you'd like to accompany me to the station...
0:19:19 > 0:19:21KNOCKING
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Anthony...
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I'm afraid your son's not here.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Of course not.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I'll never see my boy again.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I'm sure that's not true.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47It is!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Would you pray for him, Father?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I will.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57And I will do everything I can to help him, I promise you.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Is there anything else I can do to help?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Oh, thank you, we'll be fine.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Monsieur Bisset is driving me into Kembleford shortly. Would you like a lift?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I'm sure your bicycle would fit in the back.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34That would be very kind.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Is the colonel to be expected back for dinner?- How should I know?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Sorry, I...- What have I told you about wearing your hair down?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- I lost my ribbon. - Well, then, cut a new one.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Shall we see you outside, Father?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Five minutes.
0:21:23 > 0:21:2447 seconds.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26SNIFFS
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Always had a thing about fires.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50My grandfather told me that, if you stare at the flames for long enough,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52you might catch a glimpse of the Devil.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Did you?
0:21:59 > 0:22:00No. Not today.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03We're leaving, so...
0:22:07 > 0:22:08SNIFFS
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Gibbs' military records.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17He spent six months guarding the same temporary base in Tunis
0:22:17 > 0:22:19in which you were stationed.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Along with hundreds of other men, no doubt.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It's mere coincidence that he turned up in Kembleford? Admit it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- You knew Gibbs all along.- No.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31You asked him to leave. Did he agree?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Reluctantly.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Did you have to threaten him with your gun?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Like I said, that gun was...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Easy enough to get into the hands of an officer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45The safe wasn't forced.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Only you and Mrs Grayson have a key.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51But she has an alibi.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Gregoire saw her leaving the room after the gunshots were fired.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56How could I have dumped the gun in the pond
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and still been first on the scene?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01You could have hidden it, then taken it to the pond later.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02And my motive?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Money.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Get your old army buddy to help stage a burglary,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08claim on the insurance.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14The estate accounts.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18You're broke.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I'm guessing that Gibbs got greedy in the last minute,
0:23:21 > 0:23:22demanded a larger cut.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25There was an argument and you killed him.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Weak speculation.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I've sent the gun off to forensics for fingerprints.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Let's see what turns up, shall we?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Could you telephone Lady Felicia for me, please?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Ask her to speak to her friend at the Foreign Office
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and see what she can find out about the colonel?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47So, do you think the colonel murdered Henry Gibbs?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50My ideas are still fermenting.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Either way, I made a promise to Lady Edna to discover the truth
0:23:54 > 0:23:56and I intend to honour it.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Oh, but where are you off to now?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00To the police station.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I'm sure the colonel will need some spiritual guidance.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Oh, and I nearly forgot, while you're on the telephone,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10please tell Sid I have a job for him.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Thank you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Why are you here?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Because I promised your mother I'd do what I could.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25A waste of time.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27The inspector's determined to see me hang.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30If you're telling the truth, you'll need to have faith and be patient.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Are you? - I swear to you, I didn't kill Gibbs.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35That's not what I asked.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Do you believe it's always wrong to lie?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Even if it's for a greater good?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Interesting question.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48St Augustine argues that a lie is never justified
0:24:48 > 0:24:53and yet, in the Bible, Rahab lies to save the lives of two Jewish spies
0:24:53 > 0:24:55and is herself spared from death.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57What do you think?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I think that if you have something to confess,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01you had better do it now while you have the chance.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It would be in strictest confidence.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09There's nothing to tell.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10You have no idea who killed Gibbs?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- None at all.- Because...
0:25:12 > 0:25:13You should go.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Very well. But in my experience, the truth will always out.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I suppose it's a question of intention.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Are you lying to protect yourself?
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Or someone else?
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Psst! Father!
0:25:44 > 0:25:45What are you doing here?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Well, you told me to follow them.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I wanted you to follow them in Kembleford,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57not loiter around their house.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58You've got to see this...
0:26:00 > 0:26:02So, when I was in town, Gregoire or whatever his name is,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04goes to get a broken headlight fixed.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I'm thinking, hang about, why's he got a broken headlight?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Look under the front.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Father?
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Father...!
0:26:21 > 0:26:23What exactly are you doing?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Well, I've always been fascinated by cars.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28You know, transmissions,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30differentials, that sort of thing.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Really?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I got your message.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I understand you found Gregoire's letter of recommendation.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- The colonel mentioned that you wanted to see it.- Thank you.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Would you like a cup of tea? - No, no, no.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I won't trouble you any longer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I would never have thought that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- What?- She looks every inch the respectable war widow.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Sid, what?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Right, the Frog's gone in the garage, she's popped in the bank.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Oh, and you are acquainted with a certain young bank clerk.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05We may have exchanged pleasantries in the past.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07There you go. Have a bash on that.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Check out her name.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What's that?
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Gregoire's letter of recommendation.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Oh, so it's the Frenchman now?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Mrs Grayson gave him an alibi.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Oh...
0:27:26 > 0:27:27PHONE RINGS
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Father Brown.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Sullivan here. I need you to come to the police station, Father.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42The colonel has just tried to hang himself.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Right away.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I have to return to the police station.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50You're not going anywhere until you've heard my news.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54I'd been in to see him a few minutes before.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57May I ask why?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We found two sets of prints on the revolver.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04One of them belonged to him.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I told him he was going to be charged with murder.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Who did the other set belong to?
0:28:10 > 0:28:11We don't know yet.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Why have you sent for me?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Yes, well, the colonel wants to save us the bother
0:28:15 > 0:28:17of sending him to the scaffold.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21So, for once, our professional interests coincide.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It's your duty to stop him committing a mortal sin
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and mine to see him stand trial.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31I'd like you to talk to him.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Stop him from trying again.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34You think he will?
0:28:34 > 0:28:35We've taken his sheets
0:28:35 > 0:28:38but, as you know, there are many ways for a man to kill himself.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39I'll do what I can.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46At least this should put your mind at rest.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48How so?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Always a sign of a guilty conscience.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Forgive me, Father.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05I was in a dark place.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Then let in God's light.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Open up your heart.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12How did you lose your eye?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16A riding accident.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I...I fell and my horse kicked out.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Your horse?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Lady Edna said it was your father's.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24I...
0:29:24 > 0:29:25You know what her memory's like.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28Take off your eye patch.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31What?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35You told your guests that you only had schoolboy friendships,
0:29:35 > 0:29:36which is puzzling
0:29:36 > 0:29:38for a diplomat stationed in Tunisia.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42And you were telling the truth about not knowing Gibbs
0:29:42 > 0:29:44until he arrived at the estate, weren't you?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Whereas Colonel Forbes-Leith would have seen him a hundred times.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Take it off.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Why?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Because, according to the Foreign Office,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57the real Colonel Forbes-Leith died in Tunis...
0:29:57 > 0:29:59..in 1945.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Who are you?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Joseph Hawkins,
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Sergeant,
0:30:14 > 0:30:1725762751.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Pleased to meet you.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26I met him in hospital.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27The real colonel.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31For a month, he kept talking about this crazy plan
0:30:31 > 0:30:34to build a vineyard on his estate back home.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38We didn't even realise how similar we looked until one of the nurses got us mixed up.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40You stole his identity?
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Stole?
0:30:41 > 0:30:42It was his idea.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45He knew he was dying.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50He got me to practise his voice, taught me about his family,
0:30:50 > 0:30:51his childhood.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54He gave you his life.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Why?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02He wanted someone to build his vineyard,
0:31:02 > 0:31:03carry on his name.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07He wanted his mother to have a son.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08I'm an orphan.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10No family to miss me.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It was my chance to become something better.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Water into wine.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21When the fever finally took him,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I got a friend to intercept the telegram to the estate.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29All I needed was his eye patch and a...spare uniform.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34But surely Lady Edna realised that you weren't her son?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36He wrote me a letter to give her,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39just in case, explaining his reasons, but...I never needed it.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42And she'd not seen him for decades, remember?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44He was just a lad when he signed up.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45Hello, Mother.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52She's always been a few grapes short of a bunch.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54It was such chaos after the war,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56it was easy enough to fudge the paperwork.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00So no-one in Kembleford knew that Colonel Forbes-Leith was dead?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04It was all going well until Gibbs turned up.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Knew the colonel, he said.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11He was going to spill the beans, so I offered him a job to keep him sweet.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12But it wasn't enough.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16I've killed a lot of men, Father.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19I can tell you about every one.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22But I didn't kill Gibbs.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25I heard the gunshots and er...
0:32:27 > 0:32:28..I found him in the study,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30already dead.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32With Emily.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36She was in a such a state. I told her to hide the gun.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I thought, without it, the police would have no proof,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40not if we kept our mouths shut.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41She admitted killing him?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44No, she didn't have to. Her hands were covered in his blood.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47And you will hang to protect her?
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Gibbs was only there because of me.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51She was attacked because of my lies.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53No wonder she took matters into her own hands.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55But if she was defending herself...
0:32:55 > 0:32:57With her past, nobody'd believe her.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I won't risk it.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Tell the truth. You can still save yourself.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Are you talking about my soul or my neck?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Both, perhaps.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Let me tell the inspector.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08No.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10No, this is what I deserve.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Why are you determined to die?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16You said it yourself.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18The truth will come out.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21The only people who've ever cared for me
0:33:21 > 0:33:24will discover what a fraud I am.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26How could I look Lady Edna in the eye again?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29The shame is unbearable.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32The shame is because you're wearing a mask.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Take it off.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Let them know who you are.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41But everything I am is a lie.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45YOU built the vineyard.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48YOU looked after them all for all those years.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Let them remember Joseph Hawkins.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Can't promise they'll believe you.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59That depends.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Where is the letter that Colonel Forbes-Leith gave you
0:34:04 > 0:34:06to give to Lady Edna?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10It's in a hidden compartment at the bottom of the safe.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Same place I kept the gun.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17No letter.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28PISTOL SHOT
0:34:28 > 0:34:29DOOR OPENS
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- Father?- Requiescat in pace.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34- What are you doing in here?- Amen.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Special prayer for the dead.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46I wonder if I might have a word with everyone in the drawing room?
0:34:52 > 0:34:53He ain't no colonel?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55This is not possible.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56He's a charlatan?
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Oh, don't be too quick to judge.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01You've all sought to transform yourselves.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Didn't you,
0:35:03 > 0:35:04Miss Maitland?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Miss?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09You said your old man died in the war.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12My George did die in the war!
0:35:13 > 0:35:16But...we were never actually married.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I met him just before he left for France.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21One night together and then...
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Father, is there a reason you wish to humiliate me?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Yes.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Because the truth, in its entirety, could save that man.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I don't see how. So I took George's name.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36I didn't want everyone judging Tom for my foolishness.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41But I have been entirely loyal to Lady Edna and the colonel.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Of course you have.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45They took you and your son in when others wouldn't.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47And when you saw the chance
0:35:47 > 0:35:49of saving their estate from financial ruin,
0:35:49 > 0:35:50you had no hesitation.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54The labourers' wages have gone!
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Knowing that the insurance would pay the money back,
0:35:58 > 0:35:59"Mrs Grayson"
0:36:00 > 0:36:03deposited the money in the estate's account...
0:36:03 > 0:36:05...under "income from wine sales".
0:36:05 > 0:36:09But, of course, we know that not a single bottle was sold yesterday.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12I warned the colonel, or whoever he is,
0:36:12 > 0:36:16a hundred times that we were on a knife-edge, but he wouldn't listen.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- But this is beside the point. I certainly didn't kill anyone.- No.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20But there is a killer in this room.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Isn't there?
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Yes, all right.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31I confess.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Monsieur Bisset!
0:36:33 > 0:36:35But, please, it was an accident.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39He just ran in front of the car.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40The car?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42He just lay there...
0:36:42 > 0:36:43What are you on about?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Bacchus.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Tom's dog.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Oh, dear.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I tell you what. Cos I like you, I'll get rid of the body.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Get that headlight fixed and the colonel will be none the wiser.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00They'll think he ran away.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02What will you do with him?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I know just the place. Pop him on the back.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Then you burned your shirt in case anybody saw the blood.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12The colonel would have fired me.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Please, I love my job.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Nobody would pay me to make wine.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Mmm.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Gregoire's qualifications were somewhat exaggerated.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25I don't think Sergeant Hawkins speaks French
0:37:25 > 0:37:28because this letter appears to commend your talents
0:37:28 > 0:37:30as a reliable delivery driver.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34It was a misunderstanding. I just needed a job.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36And I showed the letter to the colonel and...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38He seemed to think that I...
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Well...the next thing I knew,
0:37:41 > 0:37:42I was his vigneron.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45So you know nothing about making wine?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I found a book in a second-hand shop. It's been most helpful.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56But yours is, perhaps, the greatest lie of all.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58You were first to the study, weren't you?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03I found Gibbs. He weren't breathing.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I told the colonel that I wanted Gibbs dealt with.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I didn't think he'd kill him.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Get rid of it,
0:38:12 > 0:38:13then wash your hands.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Say nothing.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Yes, sir.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20So, you agreed to hide the revolver to help the colonel.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23He changed my life.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27The colonel, sergeant, I don't care what he is, I'd still be on the streets if it weren't for him.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30But he thinks you killed Gibbs.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32What?!
0:38:32 > 0:38:34How would you have known how to get into the safe?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Still less that the revolver was in there?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40No. It wasn't you.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Two shots.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45I think the first shot was an accident.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Somebody dropped the Enfield No.2
0:38:49 > 0:38:50and it misfired.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Somebody frail.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Somebody frightened.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58They then managed to pick the revolver back up
0:38:58 > 0:39:01and shoot Gibbs dead.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05What's in the locket?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08The key to your husband's heart?
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Oh!
0:39:10 > 0:39:12My little joke.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16My husband had the safe installed.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19All he really cared about was money.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30What happened last night?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38I heard a noise. Somebody breaking in.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40So...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42..I went to get the gun.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Anthony...
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Oh, Sergeant Hawkins, is it?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49..told me that he kept one in the safe, to reassure me, I suppose.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51But...
0:39:53 > 0:39:55..the gun wasn't the only thing I found.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58I recognised the handwriting straight away.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Anthony always did funny Hs.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02DOOR CREAKS OPEN
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Don't worry, I'm just here for what I'm owed.- Get out!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Get out or I'll call my son!
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Your son is dead, old woman.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16And you will be next unless you keep your mouth shut!
0:40:29 > 0:40:31But, then, you know...
0:40:32 > 0:40:35..I think I always knew
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Sergeant Hawkins wasn't
0:40:37 > 0:40:39my Anthony.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Perhaps it was easier to go along with it than to accept the truth?
0:40:48 > 0:40:50My son is dead, isn't he?
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Yes.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57But why didn't you tell the truth straightaway?
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Nobody would have blamed you. It was self-defence.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I wanted that impostor to take the blame.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07He lied to me!
0:41:08 > 0:41:10And he should hang for that?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Shouldn't he?
0:41:12 > 0:41:13When you think about it,
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Sergeant Hawkins has dedicated his life to fulfilling your son's dying wish.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21He built up his vineyard, he looking after you.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23I do not agree with the deception,
0:41:23 > 0:41:25but neither do I think him an evil man.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Do you?
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Rise and shine.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Am I going to court?
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Somebody's confessed.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Emily?
0:41:45 > 0:41:46No. Lady Edna.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48You're not serious?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50The second set of prints on the gun belonged to her.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52She's not being charged, either.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Apparently it was reasonable self-defence.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57I'll explain everything later.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01But, meanwhile, there are some people who want to meet Joe Hawkins.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Welcome home, sir.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Thanks, Tom.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Welcome home, Colonel.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Call me Joe.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21And er...
0:42:21 > 0:42:22..I was only ever a sergeant.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Congratulations.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I wondered how long it would take.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Thank you, sir.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Nothing to say for yourself?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Forgive me, Lady Edna.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02My intention was never to dishonour your son's name,
0:43:02 > 0:43:04only to honour his love for you.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Sentimental claptrap!
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Listen, whoever you are,
0:43:10 > 0:43:12you've carried me up and down these stairs,
0:43:12 > 0:43:15listened to me wittering on for hours
0:43:15 > 0:43:17and kept this old pile of stones going.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Whatever charade brought you here...
0:43:22 > 0:43:24..this is your home.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30But let's have no more of this sergeant nonsense.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Colonel's much better.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Whoever's going to buy wine from Sergeant Hawkins?
0:43:35 > 0:43:36Huh?
