0:00:02 > 0:00:04Russula emetica!
0:00:04 > 0:00:05Are you casting a spell?
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Common name, the Sickener.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Sounds delicious.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Oh, we can't eat this.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I only wanted something to put in my pie,
0:00:13 > 0:00:18I wasn't planning to spend the morning traipsing around after you.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22So I am going to go to the grocer's to buy some mushrooms.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Look.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27What's wrong?
0:00:36 > 0:00:40It's...it's a head.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41I think you should stay here.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Please stay away. Please stay back.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I just want to offer my prayers for the deceased.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53The branch was blocking the road at head height.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55He hit it at speed.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57It'll only take a few minutes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'm afraid not.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46BELLS RING
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I am so sorry for your loss.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Alexander said he'd always be there for me.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And he still is, Ian.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Just...in a different way.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now, you're going to have to be very brave today.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I need to see him.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Mrs Moore.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I think that it is best that you remember him as he was.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29SHE GROANS
0:02:32 > 0:02:34SHE WEEPS
0:02:36 > 0:02:37I'm sorry.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Alexander Moore was a popular young man,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45a regular member of this congregation.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48He worked hard in the family business,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51rising early to bake fresh bread.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54His delicious Chelsea buns
0:02:54 > 0:02:58were responsible for many a guilty glance in the mirror.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59MURMUR OF LAUGHTER
0:03:01 > 0:03:03His mother, Ruth...
0:03:07 > 0:03:09..would like to say a few words.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Alexan...
0:03:25 > 0:03:31My Alexander was the perfect older brother to Ian. He was...
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Get out.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Get him out.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Oh, dear God, no.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Get out! Get away from here!
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Mr Blackstone.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I'm sorry. I only wanted to offer my condolences.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16We commend our brother to the Lord.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18May He embrace him in His peace
0:04:18 > 0:04:22and bring his body to life again on the last day.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25- Amen.- Amen.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Where have you been?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Just in the village.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It's quiet out, lots of people have gone to the funeral.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53I know.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56You didn't?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I simply went to pay my respects.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Did she cause a scene?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04She'll have the police round.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I haven't done anything wrong.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07You provoked her.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11After the lies she told about your mother, she deserves all she gets.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13You're better than that.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19You need to eat something.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23If you want to talk about anything come and find me.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Even if it's the middle of the night.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42VEHICLE PASSES
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Guess.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Bad luck.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Maybe next time, though, we could add some money into the equation,
0:06:19 > 0:06:20make it a little bit more interesting?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It's already quite interesting enough, thank you very much.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25But I do admire your sleight of hand.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31What's happened?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32You'd better come and see.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48And this is the lad who lost his head on Tuesday?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Not been his week, has it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54It's not a laughing matter.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Have some tea.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Thank you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I apologise...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06but this is an unspeakable crime.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09People are laid to REST in this church.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Let's treat this with the respect it deserves.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Absolutely, Padre.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Could it be grave robbers?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25No. That vile practice died out in the last century.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I heard the mother had an outburst at the funeral?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Ruth Moore and Peter Blackstone have been at each other's throats
0:07:33 > 0:07:35for as long as anyone can remember.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37He's the undertaker?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Yes. But he didn't do this burial, for obvious reasons.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42What's their problem with each other?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44No-one knows any more.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Or much cares.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50I'd best go and let the mother know what's happened.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Inspector, I wondered if I might be permitted to break the news to her?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56She is part of our congregation.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Be my guest. I'll talk to her once she's calmed down.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Oh, you're all heart.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Might take me a while to find a vehicle to move the coffin.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10In the meantime,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13if there's anything else make sure I'm the first to know.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15As always, Inspector.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23What happens if this is just the beginning?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26If whoever did this comes back another night?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'm sure those Blackstones are involved.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33That girl was smiling when she saw the accident.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Doesn't prove anything.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Oh, so she just happened to be passing?
0:08:36 > 0:08:42Perhaps. Sid, can you find somewhere discreet to store the coffin?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45And see what you can find out about the Blackstones.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Don't talk to them yet, just have a nose about.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53There's something unpleasant going on here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I've let you down.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05No, I don't blame you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08You don't have to, he blames himself.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I think we all know who did this.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Please, Ruth.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15There's only one person who hates my family enough
0:09:15 > 0:09:17to do something so unspeakable.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24It may be coincidence that it was Alexander's body that they, erm,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26they took.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32The soil was freshly turned, it would be the easiest grave to dig.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34How will you manage in the bakery?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37It'll be hard.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39We were losing money as it was,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43and I didn't have to pay Alexander the going rate.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45If you find yourself short,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47the Parish Committee may be able to help.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48We have a small fund....
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I don't need charity. Thank you.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57I just wanted you to know it's there, if you need it.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58We should be able to manage.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Alexander had taken out a life insurance policy.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Oh, that was...fortunate.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09He always felt a duty to look after us after my husband died.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14It won't be much but...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16but it should be enough to tide us over
0:10:16 > 0:10:21until I can...work out...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'm sorry, I feel very hot.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I need to get some air.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27We'll leave you in peace.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I promise to get to the bottom of this.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04You mustn't wait for me like this, all right? Do you understand?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Why?- Listen to me - you mustn't wait for me.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09It's best if you keep away from me.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16It's Ian, isn't it? Sidney.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Sorry to hear about your brother.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21They all talk like he's dead, but he's not.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22You what?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24He came back.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Back? Back to life?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28He wants to be with his girlfriend.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31You sure you're not mistaken?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'm not a liar!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Peter! Peter Blackstone!
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Come out here. Tell me how you could do this.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Do you know what he did? That father of yours.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57He hasn't done anything.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59He dug up my boy!
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Ruth, go home.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Is this where you took him?
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Catherine.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Yes, run and hide.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Ruth.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14You can't talk to her when she's like that.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15It doesn't achieve anything.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Did you hear what she was accusing me of?
0:12:17 > 0:12:18The very thought!
0:12:18 > 0:12:19DOOR OPENS
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Hello?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Now what?- I'll go.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Who died?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Nobody.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32SHE SCREAMS
0:12:38 > 0:12:40What have you done?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Nothing.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Please. He hasn't done anything wrong.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I telephoned you myself as soon as we discovered the body.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Didn't I, Father? - Take him to the station.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Don't go far.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Catherine, Mrs McCarthy said she saw you in the woods,
0:13:02 > 0:13:03when Alexander had his accident.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I don't know what you're talking about.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I should find a quieter patch - like the centre of Glasgow.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Inspector, there's a slight problem.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Now what?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29You have got to be kidding me.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Thank you for coming, Lady Felicia.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Ah.- You really do prepare for the worst, don't you?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Sid was supposed to store it somewhere discreet.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Shall we?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I'm not sure I can relax with that thing looming over me.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I'll get Sid to move it later.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Any luck with Doctor Harris?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57No. He wouldn't take my telephone calls,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and then when I went round to the surgery
0:13:59 > 0:14:02the receptionist pretended he had left for the day.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04What has Dr Harris got to do with this?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07He was in the woods when Alexander had his accident.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10For now we have a more pressing problem -
0:14:10 > 0:14:12the security of the graveyard.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14We have to allow for the possibility
0:14:14 > 0:14:18that what happened to Alexander was not an isolated incident.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I've drawn up the rota for guard duty.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24You expect us to camp out in the graveyard all night?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I wouldn't ask you to do anything I'm not prepared to do myself.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I care about this community, even if nobody else does.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Oh, I don't mind mucking in.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Dunkirk spirit, and all of that.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Actually, it could be terrific research.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40For what?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I've never written a ghost story before.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44On behalf of the world, I'd like to thank you for that.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I can see it now - The Phantom And The Farmer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51The tragic tale of the ghost of a princess who falls in love
0:14:51 > 0:14:53with a humble dairy farmer.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- You shouldn't joke about such things.- Farmers?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Ghosts.- People enjoy a spooky story. It gives them hope.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01That you'll stop writing books?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03That they'll see the people that they love again.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05That death isn't the end.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06It isn't.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I notice that you've taken the earlier slot,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13while it's still light.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14It was random.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17So you won't mind swapping for 3am?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Please! I don't want anyone out there alone.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26If somebody comes back it would be dangerous to confront them.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28We'll all be there together.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Isn't that a little over-zealous?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I've already let one family down.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I don't want the same thing to happen to another.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I have no idea how it got there.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Perhaps you should ask Ruth Moore?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Why?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46There's no depth that woman won't sink to.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48She once paid someone
0:15:48 > 0:15:51to try and seduce my daughter then brag about it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Fortunately, Catherine saw through him.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57What sort of idiots do you take us for?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Did you think we wouldn't notice?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02I don't know what you mean.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04The body.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05What about it?
0:16:06 > 0:16:11If their parents knew that they were courting, they'd be furious.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Though, if you think about it, maybe he made it all up.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Who knows what's going on in the poor kid's head?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18He's away with the fairies at the best of times.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Anyway, now I've moved the coffin, am I done?
0:16:21 > 0:16:27Er, yes. But I would appreciate your help this evening.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29No can do, I'm afraid.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Promised to help out at the Red Lion.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Oh.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I've given my word.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38You know me, Father, I'd never break that under any circumstances.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Well, I'll have to have a word with Mrs McCarthy,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45but, what if I offered a week of free meals for your efforts?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Hot meals?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Yes. All lovingly home cooked.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Deal.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Excellent.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You know I can't resist Mrs M's pies.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59I'll see what I can do.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Anything to report, McCarthy?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15SHE GASPS
0:17:15 > 0:17:16OWL HOOTS
0:17:21 > 0:17:23HE IMITATES AN OWL HOOT
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Do you think it was Felicia?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29It was probably just another owl.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Perhaps not the best choice of night-time recognition signals.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Come on.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Lady Felicia?
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Lady F...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Who disturbs me?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Hold that thought!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55How does it feel to be threatened by a spirit from beyond?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59This is a place of rest, not your-your personal playground.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Quickly, before the fear passes. Describe it to me.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- I was not afraid! - RATTLING
0:18:04 > 0:18:05What was that?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09What? Oh, probably just another one of your ridiculous stunts?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'm standing right here.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Um... Stay close. Follow me.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21RATTLING
0:18:22 > 0:18:23STONES RATTLE
0:18:23 > 0:18:25What's going on?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Come on, here it is!
0:18:32 > 0:18:33OK?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- LIGHTER CLICKS - Can I help you, fellas?
0:18:39 > 0:18:40STONES RATTLE
0:18:43 > 0:18:45STONES RATTLE
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Ah, hardly the most sophisticated diversion,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55but I suppose you weren't expecting company.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Father! Father!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Let me go!
0:19:05 > 0:19:07No, please don't hurt me!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09They've got away.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Not to worry. They were familiar faces -
0:19:11 > 0:19:13the undertakers from Alexander's funeral.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14And what were you doing here?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- They were after the coffin.- Really?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Why? - HE GROANS
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Sid, Sid! We don't do things like that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Thank you.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh, don't think you're going anywhere
0:19:24 > 0:19:27until you've told us exactly what you were doing here.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I, well, um...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I've done a terrible thing.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36And what was that?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I falsified the death certificate. Alexander Moore.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Why?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I had to. Catherine didn't give me a choice.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Oh.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47What is it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50You can go.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52The law will punish you.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00What did you do that for?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Well, everything we needed was right before our eyes.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13What we saw in the woods, and at the funeral, it was all theatre.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Alexander wasn't dead.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21We buried an empty coffin.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31What are you doing?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Getting Alexander's things for him.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Stop it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37He'll need them.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39He won't, Ian. He's dead.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Put it back. He's gone!
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Ian!
0:20:52 > 0:20:53KNOCK ON DOOR
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Mrs Moore? I need to talk to you.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10What is it?
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Well, the good news is we found your son's body.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I've just been trying to clarify what happened.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Where was he?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Peter Blackstone's workshop.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I knew it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30If the police had listened all those times he harassed me,
0:21:30 > 0:21:31this would never would have happened.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33There's something else.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I don't really know how to say this.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40His head's back on.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Before the Mass,
0:21:47 > 0:21:52Ruth and I opened the lid and saw Alexander's body.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53SID GROANS
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Behave!- Sorry.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Then, I closed the lid.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Are you all right in there?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Hurry up, it's dark! I don't like it!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Then we said a mass for the dead.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Meanwhile...
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Sid?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Give me a minute.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Ah, ladies!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Do take a seat.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30COFFIN RATTLES
0:22:30 > 0:22:31BOTH SCREAM
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Don't worry, it's only Sid.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35- LAUGHS:- It's only me!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39What on earth are you doing in there?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Well, I couldn't find the catch.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Catch?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Ready for another try?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46These dinners you promised me better be good.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52What we saw in the woods
0:22:52 > 0:22:56was just an attempt to make credible witnesses for Alexander's death.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58We saw a body.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Not at close quarters.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02We could have seen a mannequin and an empty helmet.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04You saw Alexander at the funeral.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Only for a few seconds and the undertakers choreographed it
0:23:07 > 0:23:10so that Ruth would not be alone with the body.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- MUFFLED:- Do you maybe want to have this conversation
0:23:12 > 0:23:14when I'm not suffocating?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16If you don't talk, Sid, you use less oxygen.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18You ready this time?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Go!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Oof - that hurt.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26It was hinged.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29All Alexander had to do was wait underneath the cloth
0:23:29 > 0:23:32until the undertakers took the coffin outside.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Then he could escape unseen.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35But why would he do all of this?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37The question is, what went wrong?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Between the sham funeral and the following morning,
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Alexander did die.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47The good news is that I believe that our graveyard
0:23:47 > 0:23:49is free from further interference.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50And what's the bad news?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52There's a killer on the loose.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Please.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Would you like a drink?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05No, thank you. Bit early, even for me.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I'm worried about my father.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Of course.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15I keep thinking about your reaction when you saw Alexander's body.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I was shocked.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21More than that. You recoiled when you touched his skin.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24You didn't expect it to be cold.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26You thought he was still alive.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31After all, you knew that the funeral was a sham.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33What are you accusing me of?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Falling in love.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39It must have been very hard for you, hiding your feelings for him.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41And then seeing him, like that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46It was like someone had sucked all the air out of the room.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51This terrible thing was happening right in front of me,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54and then suddenly the police were blaming Father.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56It wasn't fair.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59What were you and Alexander going to do after the funeral?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03I'm moving to London in a month to train as a nurse.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Alexander was going to meet me there.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You know, leave this stupid feud behind us.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Alexander felt guilty, especially about leaving Ian.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16But he loved you more.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18At least this way, with the insurance,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21he could make sure they were properly looked after.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24How did you persuade Dr Harris and the undertakers to help you?
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Oh, I know all about Dr Harris and his wandering hands.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30But his wife doesn't.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33I see.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35He paid the undertakers on our behalf.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Did you see Alexander after the funeral?
0:25:39 > 0:25:45No. I waited till the morning, but...he never showed up.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47So you were here all the time?
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Not at first.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I was getting ready to go downstairs
0:25:53 > 0:25:55when I saw his brother out of the window.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I didn't have the heart to leave him.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01He'd seen Alexander in the street.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Ian had run out after Alexander but he had already gone.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06When I spoke to him,
0:26:06 > 0:26:11he actually thought his brother had come back from the dead.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Poor boy.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15What did you say to him?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I couldn't tell him the truth, could I?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20It would have ruined everything.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I told him that he was right.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29That Alexander had come back from the dead to be with me.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32That if he wanted Alexander to be happy,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34he'd have to keep it a secret.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35HE SIGHS
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I'm afraid he didn't keep his part of THAT bargain.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I know. I'm sorry.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47It's not me you should be apologising to.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00Have you any idea why your father hates Mrs Moore so much?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03No, he won't talk about it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05He only says that everything would have been easier
0:27:05 > 0:27:07if she'd never been born.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Here she is. Her date of birth, and...
0:27:28 > 0:27:29What?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Look at that.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Have you come to read me my last rites?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I know Ruth Moore is your sister.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Is this a joke?
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Let's not play games. Mrs McCarthy has checked the Parish Records.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Is this what it's about, all these years?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Our parents couldn't afford to keep more than one child...
0:27:59 > 0:28:03..and they wanted someone to take over the family business.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04A son.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07They gave her away.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12I can just about remember Mother being pregnant,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14but there was never a baby.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19I was very young, I don't think I understood what had happened.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22When did you find out the truth?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Not until after we were adults.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26My parents had died by then.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Ruth had managed to trace me.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35She came to tell me that the family who adopted her had been...unkind.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39And she blamed you for that?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I was a child when they gave her away.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It wasn't my responsibility.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49What did you say when she came to you?
0:28:49 > 0:28:54She...wanted a share of my inheritance.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I had my own family to think of by then,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00I couldn't let her interfere with our livelihood.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03You turned her away?
0:29:03 > 0:29:08I...hoped she'd leave Kembleford, start over somewhere new.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14But she stayed here, to spite me.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19From that day, she's been a constant thorn in my side.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Did you know Alexander and Catherine were having a sexual relationship?
0:29:27 > 0:29:28That can't be. They're...
0:29:28 > 0:29:29Cousins. Yes.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33How could they?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Because they didn't know.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Because their parents preferred to live surrounded by lies.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45I have come here to PLEAD with you to END this.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Sergeant!
0:29:51 > 0:29:53We're finished here.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57DOOR LOCK RATTLES
0:30:12 > 0:30:13Hello, Ian.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16What are you doing here?
0:30:18 > 0:30:24Sid told me that you saw your brother after his funeral.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27I've been waiting for Alexander to come back again.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31He hasn't yet. I brought his things.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34He might need them.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37That's very thoughtful of you. What did you bring him?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Clothes, books. His watch.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44WATCH CHAIN RATTLES
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Can I see?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Where did you find his watch?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Mother had it in her bedroom.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12It must have been frightening, seeing Alexander.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16No. He's my brother.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Ian...
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Alexander won't be coming back again.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31They said he was dead the other night, but they were wrong.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32I checked.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39How did you check?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44I thought I might be imagining things,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46so I had to make sure.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Ian, did you dig up your brother's grave?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55The coffin was empty. He'd already risen up.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57What I saw was real.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58It must have taken you hours.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Am I in trouble?
0:32:02 > 0:32:03No.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08YOU haven't done anything wrong.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Catherine didn't tell you the whole story.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16She lied to me?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Yes.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Ian, wait, please.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34My son paid his premiums. You have to honour it...
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Listen to me, we need this money.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I have another son, he needs food, clothes.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42My business will not support us...
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I don't care what the police said.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46There was nothing suspicious...
0:32:47 > 0:32:48My son died.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Isn't that enough for you?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Don't you think my family have suffered enough?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Wait, I don't have any more coins...
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Wait, please.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01LINE GOES DEAD
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Please...
0:33:14 > 0:33:15BANGING ON DOOR
0:33:17 > 0:33:19SHE GASPS
0:33:27 > 0:33:29The priest said you lied to me.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Is that true?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00BANGING
0:34:01 > 0:34:03HISSING
0:34:04 > 0:34:09You put the idea in my head and I made up a story.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12A silly ghost story.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15But I saw him.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18We were going to run away together, that was real.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21But Alexander was still alive.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25There was a funeral.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30They buried an empty box. It was a trick.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33But then...
0:34:34 > 0:34:35He died for real.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I'm so sorry.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53HE SOBS
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Sh... Sh.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Ian.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Oh.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Keep back. It's filling with gas.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Why, Ruth?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12The insurance firm won't pay out.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I'm going to lose everything and it's all his fault!
0:35:16 > 0:35:22This conflict has already cost one life. Let it stop now.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Why? I'm already damned.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28It's never too late to ask for forgiveness.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31And I know that you are carrying a great burden.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35What, what burden?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38You're responsible for Alexander's death.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42No.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44He was buried wearing his pocket watch.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Then when we found the body again, it was missing.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Ian took it from your bedroom this morning.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54The only way that you could have had it was
0:35:54 > 0:35:57if you saw Alexander after the funeral.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Put the matches away.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I think death might be a release!
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Is this where it happened?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Alexander's body was found in the workshop,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19but I don't think you were strong enough to have carried it far,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21so it must have happened nearby.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24I didn't mean to hurt him.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25I believe that.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32At first, I thought I was going mad.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47What are you?
0:36:49 > 0:36:51It's me.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Just me.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59See?
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Flesh and blood.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11How did you find me?
0:37:12 > 0:37:16I was looking for Ian, I saw you in the street.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19We had to do it this way, so you wouldn't know.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21I'm sorry.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25You wanted to get away from me?
0:37:25 > 0:37:26I do love you, Mother.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31What do you mean "we"?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Not her. Please.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I love her.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Not her. You can't.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I don't know what your problem with her father is,
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- but we've had enough of it. - She's your cousin.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49What?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52You're related. Too closely related.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54You see now? What would people think?
0:37:54 > 0:37:55We'd be outcasts.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Come back home. We'll make it right.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Just keep away from her.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Ian will be so pleased to see you.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02Alexander?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06I'm not coming. I'm meant to be with her.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Don't say that!
0:38:08 > 0:38:09It's true.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12This can't happen. Not now you know the truth.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Mother, I don't care.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14HE SCREAMS
0:38:18 > 0:38:20SHE SCREAMS
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Why did you take his pocket watch?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27It was a present for Alexander's 18th birthday.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29He cherished it, he always carried it on him.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31What else do I have of him now?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Your memories.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36You have to believe me, this whole thing was an accident.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Perhaps his death was,
0:38:39 > 0:38:44but then you tried to frame Peter for his murder.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46THAT was deliberate.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Do you know what he did, that father of yours?
0:38:48 > 0:38:50He hasn't done anything.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51He dug up my boy!
0:38:51 > 0:38:53This whole feud is Peter's fault.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57I just wanted to be accepted by the family. MY family!
0:38:59 > 0:39:04Do you know that Ian spent the whole night
0:39:04 > 0:39:06digging up his brother's grave
0:39:06 > 0:39:09because he couldn't bear to be parted from him?
0:39:09 > 0:39:10What?
0:39:10 > 0:39:11No!
0:39:14 > 0:39:16If you light that match...
0:39:18 > 0:39:19..we will die,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21and then what will happen to Ian
0:39:21 > 0:39:24when he's lost his mother and his brother?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Move away.
0:39:32 > 0:39:39If there's anyone in the house, come out. It's not safe.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40DOOR OPENS
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Ian!
0:39:45 > 0:39:46SHE SOBS
0:39:57 > 0:40:01I've done a terrible thing. And I blamed you for it.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05I'm sorry.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10It was me.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- I- left Alexander's body in your workshop.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18I wanted to see you blamed for it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Is this a trick? Some way to get money from me?
0:40:25 > 0:40:28I don't care about your damn money!
0:40:28 > 0:40:29This whole thing started
0:40:29 > 0:40:33because you wanted to try and stake a claim on my inheritance.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35No! I only ever wanted a family.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39MY family.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44You turned me away!
0:40:51 > 0:40:53I'm going to tell the police my story,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55but I think you should hear it first.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11'Did you tell him everything?'
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Yes.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15And things have changed.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16How?
0:41:18 > 0:41:21He's... He's going to try and help me keep afloat.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Get my business back to the way it used to be.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28I thought you'd have more to talk about than money.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Peter is going to tell the police
0:41:31 > 0:41:33that he found Alexander at the bottom of the stairs.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Panicked and tried to hide the body.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37So he'll take the blame for you?
0:41:38 > 0:41:42The police can't prove anyone else was there when Alexander fell.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46He could have just been meddling where he shouldn't have been.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52I realise you know the truth.
0:41:53 > 0:41:59All I can do is beg you to keep it to yourself.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Peter isn't going to lie for my sake, it's for Ian.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06He doesn't want him to grow up without his mother.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11Father?
0:42:13 > 0:42:16I can only follow my conscience, and I think that someone...
0:42:19 > 0:42:22..needs to give your family a chance to heal its wounds.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Thank you.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32Thank you.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42"The princess knew that love could overcome even death,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45"but would the dairy farmer...
0:42:45 > 0:42:48"would the dairy farmer ever notice her?
0:42:48 > 0:42:51"He was a man of simple tastes,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55"more used to the company of cows than royalty."
0:42:55 > 0:42:58I envy him. Right, I'll be off.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59Sorry? Where are you going?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Home.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04I've got this lovely chicken and mushroom pie waiting for me.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- Yum, yum. - Hang about. What about mine?
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Doesn't anybody want to know how it ends?
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Perhaps it's best listened to in instalments. Like Dickens.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15You may be right. It is a very intense tale.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Sorry, where's my supper?
0:43:18 > 0:43:19It's nearly ready.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21I'm dining Chez Westwoods.
0:43:21 > 0:43:22Bon appetit.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Au revoir.
0:43:25 > 0:43:26Shall we see how it's going?
0:43:26 > 0:43:28This is not what we agreed.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32Free meals every day for a week.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37FATHER BROWN COUGHS
0:43:44 > 0:43:46Is that done?
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Only...I don't really know.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Not to worry.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57I'll get the hang of it by the end of the week.
