0:00:02 > 0:00:05Now he enriches and strengthens you by a special sacrament so that you
0:00:05 > 0:00:10may assume the duties of marriage in mutual and lasting fidelity.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12And so, in the presence of the Church,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15I ask you to state your intentions.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Margaret le Broc and Geoffrey le Broc,
0:00:19 > 0:00:20I shall now ask you
0:00:20 > 0:00:23if you freely undertake the obligations of marriage,
0:00:23 > 0:00:28and to state that there is no legal impediment to your marriage.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30I wish Granny Betty were still alive.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31She'd put a stop to this.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Your Papa would want your mother to be happy.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36With him? His own brother?
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Are you ready, freely and without reservation,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43to give yourselves to each other in marriage?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Oh! There's a mouse!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Vermin, in the House of the Lord!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Horrid creature. Thank heavens you saw it.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Someone catch it, it's over there!
0:00:56 > 0:00:57I understand how you feel.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58But making a scene won't change anything,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01except how your mother remembers her wedding day.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03If there was a mouse, it's long gone.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- SHE CLEARS HER THROAT - I do apologise, Father.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Now, where were we?
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Are you ready, freely and without reservation,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21to give yourselves to each other in marriage?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22SOMEONE COUGHS
0:01:33 > 0:01:34I don't think so.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Ned?
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Daddy?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I knew you weren't dead, I knew it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I don't understand. Where's he been?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34You can talk through it at home.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I've been working for the Secret Intelligence Service.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'm afraid that's all I can say.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43A spy!
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Granny Betty was right.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Missing in action doesn't always mean dead.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Milly, the motor car's waiting.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Ned, you're coming with me.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56We were happy. At last.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So why turn up now and destroy it?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59It wasn't about you.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I saw Mother's death notice in the Times.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I was already on my way up and the new edition announced your wedding.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07You didn't waste any time.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08You think this was quick to plan?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11We had to get a dispensation from Rome!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14And we'd already waited years so as not to upset our Mother.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16She never accepted your death.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Turns out she was right, then, eh?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19What do you want, Ned?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21My life. My wife.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22My inheritance.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25You never wanted Meg till it looked like someone else could have her.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Who do you think's been looking after your family all these years?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29By sleeping with my wife?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Oh, come on, Ned! - I say, is he going to be safe?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40May I cadge a lift?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Frankly, you should have stayed dead.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00- MILLY:- Stop! Stop here!
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Milly!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Daddy and I can walk back, he'll want to see it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Milly!
0:04:10 > 0:04:11We'll meet you back at the house.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Sounds good to me.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17She's got eight years to catch up on. Let them go.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21At least we'll have a chance to discuss this mess.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I've kept it tip-top for you. Grandpa's been showing me how...
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- DOG BARKS - Dinah!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Sorry, she doesn't like strangers.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Hello, old girl. You've grown.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44And you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Haven't been up in years.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Then it's about time.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Well, she's pristine...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53..but I'm a little rusty.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Can I tell you a secret?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00How dare he?!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- I hate him for this. - Pull yourself together, man.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Mrs McCarthy has made our national drink.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10What, gin?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Sorry, Father.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'm in no mood for tea and sympathy.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Forgive me, but you don't seem particularly pleased to see your son
0:05:21 > 0:05:22back from the dead.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Ned's medals.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Awarded posthumously.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30War Medal, Defence Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33They ring pretty hollow now.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You don't believe the spy thing.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Not for a second.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Ned's squadron.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Men under my command.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Dead. Dead. Crippled. Dead.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46They were real men.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Not pansies who ran away.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51MOTOR WHINES DISTANTLY
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Welcome him back?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57In my day, I'd have shot him myself, for desertion.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Arthur, is the aircraft supposed to be up today?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It better be Ned at the controls.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Well, it must be, Milly doesn't know how to fly.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14I've been giving her lessons.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Ned. Bring that thing down this instant.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Anything you say, Geoffers.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- Mary, Mother of... - THEY SCREAM
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Oh, God. I'm beginning to see why you fell for him.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Infuriating, too, of course.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Do you think Milly's all right up there?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52In her element.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56She must have a cast-iron stomach.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Makes me queasy just watching.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Ned, you're landing NOW.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Mummy, I'm the pilot, talk to me.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Ned. Now!
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Well, if he wasn't dead before, he's certainly going about it the right way now.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Who would choose to hang mid-air in a glorified tin can?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Amy Johnson made it look so glamorous.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Yes, and then she died.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Good show, good show!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38If this is how much care you take of our daughter I'm glad
0:07:38 > 0:07:39you've missed the last eight years.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41What is it they say in the flicks?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43"You're beautiful when you're angry."
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Milly, go to your room.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Mummy, I... - I'll deal with you later.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Don't think I've ever been this close to an aeroplane before.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Aircraft.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Aircraft.- You've never flown?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Father, it's the closest in this life you can get to meeting God.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Come back another day, I can take you up.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Not for me, aircraft.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I get wobbly legs on ladders.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Excuse me.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I need a long talk with my husband.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Alone.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30What are you doing?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Well, now, your father's going to sleep in your room tonight.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37We've made up a camp-bed for you in your mother's room.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Oh, we have, have we?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Don't worry. You'll get your bedroom back soon.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I don't care if I never do, as long as Daddy stays.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46You know,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- the situation, is...- Complicated.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Mummy's always said she still loves Daddy.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Everything's going to be perfect. You'll see.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Just let me explain what happened, why I left.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05More spy stories?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08There's too much water under the bridge.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Tell me you don't still love me,
0:09:10 > 0:09:11and I will walk away.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Geoffrey's who I've made my life with.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18And you've made another life.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Geoffrey said you were cheating on me before you left.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Meg, on my life, I've always been faithful to you.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I'm so sorry I went away.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33But I want to be a family with you and Milly.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We could be happy together again.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- And then one day, I'll wake up and you'll be gone.- No.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Let me tell you where I've been and why.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43I'm sorry, Meg.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I was hoping to speak to Ned myself, before I turn in.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Geoffrey told me...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07one time when he was visiting the base, during the war...
0:10:08 > 0:10:10..he saw a woman leaving Ned's quarters.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Do you think she's the reason he's been absent for all these years?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21So if you know what's good for you,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24you'll just vanish off to wherever you came from,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and we can all get back to pretending you're dead.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29What if I say no?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Then what you've done will catch up with you.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's only a matter of time before they all know you're a deserter.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36And why was that?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42When I saw that Mother had died, do you know what I felt first?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Relief.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45You can't hold her over me any more.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46What's that supposed to mean?
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I'm going to tell the truth.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51To Meg first, I owe her that but, ultimately, to everyone.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52You wouldn't dare.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Watch me.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Meg.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Can I have a word?
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Alone?
0:11:09 > 0:11:10I'm tired.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16We can talk in the morning.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22What are you doing?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Cleaning my gun.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Now?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Your father's just left the security services.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31He might need some protection.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Good to know.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39It's been a long day.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44I'll see myself out.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Father?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52If I said I wanted to come clean...
0:11:54 > 0:11:55..make a fresh start...
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Confession is always available to those who truly repent.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04So tomorrow morning at nine?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20HE SIGHS
0:14:20 > 0:14:21CHURCH DOOR CREAKS
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Ah, there you are, I was beginning to worry...
0:14:26 > 0:14:29A few wilted carnations hardly constitutes an emergency.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Ned is three quarters of an hour late for his confession.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Meg?
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Where are you going?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I need to get Milly's pinafore from her rooms.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46No, no. I'll get it for you.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49And...
0:14:49 > 0:14:51he'll need to find somewhere else to stay from now on.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01What's wrong?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03No, don't.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05SHE SCREAMS
0:15:16 > 0:15:19How does the Padre always get here first?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Catholics, sir. Last Rites.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Oh, watch that dog, sir, it's vicious.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I'll take my chances.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Ought to be put down.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Stop smirking and fill me in.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Indulgeat tibi Dominus.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Quid quid visum.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Sive per auditum.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Odortum.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Gustum et locutinem.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Father, is that...?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Tactum.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Gressum deliquisti.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Requiescat in pace. Amen.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14His soul is at rest.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18We found him in here, Inspector.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20As you can see,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22we think he must have killed himself.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Why would a man recently returned from the grave commit suicide?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30He was never terribly stable.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Well...
0:16:31 > 0:16:34shot to the temple, gun in his hand.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36But no powder burns.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Quite.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40It must have been murder.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And from what my sergeant was telling me of yesterday's events,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45we're hardly lacking suspects.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Hello. What's going on...?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52No, no, no, he can't be... No, he can't be dead.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- No, no, Milly.- No, he mustn't be dead.- Milly, this is grown-up business.- What happened?!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- GEOFFREY:- Please, Milly, come with me. He's with God now.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Search the house and grounds. Anything suspicious, bag it up.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'll need somewhere quiet to take statements.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10That was lipstick.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Who has Ned le Broc been kissing? Hm?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Perhaps it was Meg's.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Your innocence is commendable, Father.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23But Margaret le Broc is not a lipstick-wearing woman.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Wing-Commander.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43If you ever need to talk about your grief...
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I did my grieving eight years ago.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47That's when I lost him, not today.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50He was my first-born.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Supposed to follow in my footsteps,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56make me proud. Squadron Leader Edward le Broc.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59And then he let me down.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02When he deserted.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Why did he do that?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Was he running from something, or...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11..to something?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Was there a woman involved?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, perhaps the killer was someone from his other life.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Then why did no-one hear the gunshot?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23You and Ned argued last night.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Are you implying that I shot my own son?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32If I wanted him dead, I'd have been cleverer than that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Disconnect the right tube,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36this thing would fall out of the sky, go up in smoke,
0:18:36 > 0:18:37the evidence with it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Father.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Lady Felicia.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Fine. We argued.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48But it was about this Secret Service nonsense.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I mean, you're right.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It was clear to me that he must've deserted
0:18:52 > 0:18:55and I wasn't happy, but I didn't kill him,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57and neither did Geoffrey.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Oh.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00That's not what the inspector thinks.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04No, listen to me!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06You can't do this, it wasn't him!
0:19:06 > 0:19:07I'm telling you, it was suicide!
0:19:07 > 0:19:08It was murder!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It must have been someone out to get him,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12cos of his work as a spy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13All right, Miss, I doubt...
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I doubt that the security forces would let your father come home
0:19:16 > 0:19:18if he was in danger.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19ARTHUR: What are you doing?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It's just for questioning at this stage.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Milly, go to your room.- Why?!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- The grown-ups need to talk. - Your room. Now.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Sir.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33The men found these
0:19:33 > 0:19:34down an old well.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Is that...?- Blood.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Better still...
0:19:47 > 0:19:48He didn't do it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49My son is innocent.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Margaret le Broc,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I am arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Edward le Broc.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01but anything you do say will be taken in writing
0:20:01 > 0:20:03and may be given in evidence...
0:20:20 > 0:20:21I'll call a barrister. She'll have the best.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Wing-Commander. I've left my holy oils at the scene. I wonder if...
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Be my guest.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31There's always something, unless there's nothing.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Young lady! You were sent to your room!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- What happened? - Oh, Milly. I'm so sorry.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- They've arrested your mother.- Why?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Well, we don't know yet, but I'm sure...- I have to go after them.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Dear, there's nothing... That's the father's bicycle.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Young lady!
0:20:58 > 0:20:59I don't understand.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04My men found your clothes, Mrs le Broc.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06What clothes? Where?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09The innocent act'd be a better wheeze
0:21:09 > 0:21:11if you'd cut the laundry mark out of your skirt first.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13This is nonsense.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15So...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18..these aren't yours?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Is that blood?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Are they yours?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I suppose they are.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27I haven't seen them in...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Your husband abandoned you, deceived you,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and then just when you'd put your life back together, he waltzed in
0:21:32 > 0:21:34and ruined your new marriage.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36So you killed him and tried to set it up as suicide.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- No!- You moved the body, your clothes were bloodied,
0:21:39 > 0:21:40and you hid the evidence.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42No! I'd taken sleeping pills.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I was out cold.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You realise we'll test that?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Someone's framing me.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I haven't seen these clothes in years!
0:21:52 > 0:21:55You'll have to do better than that to wriggle out of this one.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Bingo.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Cash, passport.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16That doesn't tell us anything.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21"Please don't tell."
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Please don't tell what?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24It's not a request. It's a bar.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Father!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27That Milly le Broc has just stolen your bicycle!
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- What?- Why?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31She has some notion that she can help her mother.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33She shouldn't be on her own.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I told her uncle and he ran after her.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37But, Father, your bicycle!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's survived worse.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42But...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I will need a lift to this bar.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I can lend you Hornby and the Rolls.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I promised the Wing-Commander I'd visit Meg, keep her spirits up.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Then you must.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Father, this bar,
0:22:51 > 0:22:52it's a trifle racy.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- And...- My faith will be my shield.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59You shall not enter the lions' den alone.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Good luck with that.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06How'd you get here?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I took the Father's bicycle. I'm going to give it back.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- You did what?- Listen to me. My mother is innocent.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I know she didn't leave the room last night.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Awake all night, were you?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I'd have heard if she'd gone.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18She could've slipped out while you slept.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20As an alibi, it doesn't wash.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21- Sergeant!- Inspector.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I have important new evidence.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Why didn't you say so earlier?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27I saw a woman
0:23:27 > 0:23:28at the house, last night.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29When?
0:23:30 > 0:23:31I don't know,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34perhaps two in the morning?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I heard a car and looked out of the window, and she was there.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39You just got up.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Were your glasses on?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Well, no, but...- How clearly can you see without them?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I saw her!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48There was a car, and then this woman, coming up the drive
0:23:48 > 0:23:51and then heading round to the balcony stairs
0:23:51 > 0:23:52that lead up to my room.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Daddy's room.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Why didn't you do something? Shout?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I tried to wake Mummy, but she'd taken those stupid pills.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01And I was scared.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02I hate myself for not stopping her.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07It was that woman who killed my father, Inspector.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09If this conveniently unknown woman had come into the house
0:24:09 > 0:24:10in the dead of night,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13that blasted dog of yours would've gone ballistic.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Did you hear a peep?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Wasting police time won't help your mother.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26The uncle's just arrived, all hot and bothered.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29You'd better get the Padre's bicycle back.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32And give the pair of them a lift while you're at it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I don't understand.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Where is the door?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46We could telephone for directions?
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Thank you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Hello, operator?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Good morning. What number do you want?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Oxford 2526 please.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Hold on while I connect you.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15DIALLING TONE
0:25:17 > 0:25:18'Please Don't Tell.'
0:25:18 > 0:25:19I won't.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20'Is this the delivery?'
0:25:22 > 0:25:24The delivery. Yes, that's right.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- That's right.- 'Password please.'
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Password?!
0:25:30 > 0:25:31It's slipped my mind.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37Hello? We have a very busy schedule today.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41So we can leave your stock on the street, or we can bring it in.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42It's entirely up to you.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46'You know this isn't how it's supposed to work.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49'Fine. I'll give you a hint.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52'Bone of my bones.'
0:25:53 > 0:25:55(Bone of my bones?)
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Well, this isn't...
0:25:56 > 0:25:57This is a very funny bar.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00(Of course!)
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Adam's rib.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07And what's that supposed to mean?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17You can leave the crates.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Well!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Don't you look a picture!
0:26:24 > 0:26:27You didn't need to fake a delivery to come in here, love.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I want the address of your tailor.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Well, I do happen to have a very good draper in Chipping Norton.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Oh.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37A priest.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That'll teach me to give out clues.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Father Brown.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Apologies for the subterfuge.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47You're going to have to leave.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Young lady, when someone introduces themselves,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53it's only polite to reciprocate.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I am Mrs McCarthy.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57You can call me Jackie.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Hello, Jackie.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Pleased to meet you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07We think we know a customer of yours.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Might have been here recently.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Have you seen him?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Perhaps with a woman?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- JACKIE CHUCKLES - No.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I've never seen a man like that in here.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Thank you...Jackie.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32You've been very helpful.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Well ask her some more!
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Sure, that's no help at all.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I've got everything I need.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57KNOCK AT DOOR
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I know what you and Ned argued about last night.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09I've told you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I was angry that he'd deserted.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12No, you weren't.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I've been to the bar Ned used to go to.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I know the identity of the woman
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Geoffrey saw leaving Ned's quarters in the war.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I know whose lipstick was on Ned's mouth.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Father, please don't.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29When did you first learn your that elder son
0:28:29 > 0:28:30preferred to dress as a woman?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36He deserted the RAF, and faked his own death.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- Was that because you found out? - That's ridiculous!
0:28:42 > 0:28:47You forced your beloved eldest son into hiding.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52YOU made him abandon his wife
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and five-year-old daughter.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56You're ready with the judgment, aren't you, Father?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00His mother was already sick.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04If she'd known what he did, what he was,
0:29:04 > 0:29:05it would have killed her.
0:29:05 > 0:29:06And now...
0:29:08 > 0:29:12..keeping Ned's secret may leave Meg to hang.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18This is information that I must pass on
0:29:18 > 0:29:22so the Inspector has a chance to find the real killer.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24No.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I'll go to Inspector Mallory myself.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29- Why?- To confess.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- You're the murderer?- Yes.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35I am.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Then how do you explain Meg's bloody clothing?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43I used them to mop up the blood
0:29:43 > 0:29:45and then I panicked and I threw them away.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Why shoot him?
0:29:47 > 0:29:51You said yourself that the aircraft would be the perfect murder weapon.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Because there was no time.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54I had to protect my family from the truth.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56And I still do.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59If you promise to keep Ned's secret...
0:30:01 > 0:30:03..I'll go and admit it all right now.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Well, I just can't believe it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Someone's going to have to tell Milly.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19I think we should leave it to the family.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Where's Father off to?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Can I have a word?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Milly, can we...?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Why didn't you bark?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35You silly, silly dog.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37The one time it's important.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I'd watch that little girl, Father.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46She's only been over to see the inspector,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48with some tall tale about a woman breaking in last night.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50World on her shoulders.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59DOG BARKS
0:31:07 > 0:31:08What is it?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Where's Milly?- She ran off. I think she wanted to be alone.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I just tried explaining about her grandfather,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18but she didn't take the news very well, I'm afraid.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24Please! Stop!
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Milly, stop!
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Out of my way.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Let me talk to you.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29I'm not getting out.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Then I'll get in.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46HE CHUCKLES
0:31:47 > 0:31:51You will do me a very great favour if we go no higher than this.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53You don't understand. I have to get to the police station.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56I understand more than you could imagine.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57No!
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Where will you land?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01There's a flat field behind the butcher's that'll do in a pinch.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04I know what happened, Milly,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07and I am not going to let you make a confession too.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08I've only kept quiet this long
0:32:08 > 0:32:10because Grandpa promised Mummy would be let go soon.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Now he's put himself in danger too.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I don't understand why he's shielding that woman.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16He has his reasons.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18And what could they possibly be?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20My father's murderer is dead.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21I know.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22I killed her.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28When I did it, of course, I thought I was saving Daddy.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Maybe saving all of us. Who knows what she came to do?
0:32:37 > 0:32:41I tried to wake Mummy, but she'd taken those stupid pills.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Mummy. Mummy!
0:32:52 > 0:32:53LOUD RATTLING
0:33:17 > 0:33:18But I was too late.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20She'd already killed him.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Daddy?
0:33:21 > 0:33:22DOG WHINES
0:33:22 > 0:33:25What's going on in there? Father? Milly...
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Milly, what have you done?
0:33:27 > 0:33:28She was coming in the window.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29She was after Daddy.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31What do we do?
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Er...
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Right, I'll deal with this.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Keep Milly quiet, get her back to her bed.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37DOG WHINES
0:33:38 > 0:33:40What about Daddy? Why hasn't he woken up yet?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Sh, please, don't worry about him.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46You just shot someone, Milly.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47We have to protect you now.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49You can't tell anyone about this.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Here, take it. Take it.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05If nothing else, Daddy's killer got what she deserved.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17You must not tell the inspector this.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Why not?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20At least if I confess to killing the woman,
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Mummy and Grandpa will be let go
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- because Inspector Mallory will know who really murdered my father.- Yes.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Yes, he will.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Please, Milly, you have to stop this. It isn't safe.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38We can talk about this, sort it out on the ground.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Please!
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Milly, this is a really bad idea.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50How can you prove that this woman even existed?
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Grandpa must've hidden her body somewhere.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54The police will find it.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Well, what if they don't?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59They have dogs for that sort of thing, don't they?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01They'll sniff it out.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03I'm amazed Dinah hasn't been making such a fuss.
0:35:03 > 0:35:04Yes.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10In fact, it's funny that she didn't bark at the woman
0:35:10 > 0:35:11in the first place.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Maybe she was asleep.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18She was right there next to me.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25If this conveniently unknown woman had come into the house
0:35:25 > 0:35:26in the dead of night,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28that blasted dog of yours would've gone ballistic.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Dinah!
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Did you hear a peep?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Hello, old girl. You've grown.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I don't understand.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43If it was him, if it was me...
0:35:45 > 0:35:47..why was he dressed like that?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Was it something to do with him being a spy?
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Milly, this takes nothing away from who your father was.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I don't understand.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Milly.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Let's land this plane and talk it through.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09It's all my fault.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13It's my fault.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Milly,
0:36:16 > 0:36:17please,
0:36:17 > 0:36:18get us down.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Please, listen.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Milly, we are thousands of feet up.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I need you to land this thing.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Erm...
0:36:36 > 0:36:37Mayday. Mayday.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- Pilot incapacitated. - She's frozen on the stick.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Surely there's someone who can talk him down?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45I suppose I've been up with him enough times.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Father Brown, this is Geoffrey here.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Erm...yes. I'm going to have to give you a crash course in landing.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53That's not funny.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55So, can you see your air speed indicator?
0:36:57 > 0:36:58I expect so.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Which one is it?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01It's the big dial in the middle.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Make sure you keep the needle above 60, or you'll stall.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08The throttle is the lever on your left.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Righty-ho.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16For though I walk in the midst of the shadow of death...
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- ENGINE GROWLS SUDDENLY - No, no, no! More throttle!
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Keep it at 1,500 revs on your left hand dial.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23I see.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Excellent.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- You can do this. - Are you sure about that?
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Now keep your right hand on the stick.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32That's it, that's it. You're coming in to land.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33I am?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Keep the wings level and push your nose down.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Now ease back on the throttle.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Steady!
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Steady!
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Ease the stick back.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46No! Slowly! DUCK!
0:37:58 > 0:38:01And He ascended upon the cherubim, and He flew.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03He flew upon the wings of the winds.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07I'm sorry, Wing-Commander.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I've spoken to the Chief Inspector and he's with me on this one.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12We can't accept your confession.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14But you have to.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17It's plain as a pikestaff you're covering for your daughter-in-law.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19It's just as well you're friends with the chief
0:38:19 > 0:38:22or I'd be locking you up for wasting police time!
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Padre.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Like a bad penny.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- I've come to offer the Wing-Commander confession.- Oh.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Do it while you escort him home.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- You're letting him go? - He still thinks it was Meg.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Milly knows everything.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37As do I.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40She wanted to come down here herself. I managed to convince her otherwise
0:38:40 > 0:38:43as long as I could bring you and her mother home.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44I've done everything I can do.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47I have an idea.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50Inspector.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55Erm, have you asked Mrs le Broc to try on the clothes?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- What?- No!- The clothes that she was allegedly wearing.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Have you seen her with them on?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- But they're covered in blood. Must I really?- Yes. You must.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Sir. Blood results.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19It's true. She took enough barbiturates last night
0:39:19 > 0:39:21to sink a rhino.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24She could've still taken them just after she did the murder.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Then she wouldn't have been up to discover the body at quarter to ten.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31She's off the hook. So stop this charade before he realises.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32KNOCKING
0:39:36 > 0:39:38I can't even do the skirt up.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I'd say I've put on weight, but the jacket's been let out,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43it hangs off me.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Someone else was wearing those clothes last night.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48And I know who it was!
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Who?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52The person your daughter saw.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Someone with broad shoulders, slim hips.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56She saw them climbing through the window.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- She was afraid, she wanted to intervene...- No, Inspector.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00..and if only she had.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Or your husband's fancy-woman wouldn't have shot him
0:40:02 > 0:40:05for coming back to you. See, I can see it now.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08They argued.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Maybe he'd already got his father's gun for self-defence,
0:40:10 > 0:40:12she grabbed it off him.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14The things we do for love.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Must've been a funny-looking girl.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Still...each to his own.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23I don't understand.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25You're free to go.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Goodfellow, write this up.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Would you like us to start a search, sir?
0:40:29 > 0:40:30Waste of manpower.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31She's long gone.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Grandpa said I'd find you here.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56- Milly, I don't think it's a very good idea...- Why is it your weddings always happen just after a funeral?
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Well...
0:41:00 > 0:41:04- Your mother wanted to keep it low-key, so...- Even from me?
0:41:04 > 0:41:05Doesn't she trust me,
0:41:05 > 0:41:08after everything we've been through together?
0:41:08 > 0:41:09I trust you.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11Do you?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Milly?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Silly Mummy. I have to be here.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Grandpa agrees with me.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22I'm the one who should be giving you away this time.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Much later, and there'd be nothing left to witness!
0:41:32 > 0:41:34My word, that woman has style.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Smashing hat.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37It's that barmaid from the...
0:41:37 > 0:41:39drinking den.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- Oh, my. It was that sort of drinking den.- Hm?
0:41:44 > 0:41:45(He's a man!)
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Margaret le Broc and Geoffrey le Broc...
0:41:56 > 0:41:58..I shall now ask you
0:41:58 > 0:42:01if you freely undertake the obligations of marriage,
0:42:01 > 0:42:05and to state there is no legal impediment to your marriage.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Are you ready,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14freely and without reservation,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17to give yourselves to each other
0:42:17 > 0:42:18in marriage?
0:42:27 > 0:42:28BOTH: I am.
