0:00:02 > 0:00:05- WARDER:- Signed up, Carter.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10SID EXHALES
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I heard you were looking for me.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I want to buy a gun.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Sid!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18That is wonderful news.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Yeah. Who'd have thought it? Me, a model prisoner?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Erm...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I think you know each other.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Sid! When did you get out?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Didn't I teach you anything?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33What?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36You're not going to get much power out of a single carb, are you?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Which is why I'm replacing it with this.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Nice! Do you want a hand?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Why not?
0:03:43 > 0:03:49Sidney! Sidney Carter. It IS you.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54How...? Well, I mean, when...?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58First time I've seen you speechless, Mrs M.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Time off...for good behaviour.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07So it's over. The whole horrible nightmare.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's really over.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Yeah.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Well, first things first, let's get you fed.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Now, I've just been trying out a new recipe - coq au vin.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Coq au what?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Coq au vin, it's French. It's got garlic in it.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- This coq-what's-it's really good. - ALL: Coq au vin!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30What do you think of it, Father?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Striking Mediterranean flavours.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Thank you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Well, we can't be eating boring old shepherd's pie every day, can we?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42And I always think there is nothing like the taste of the Continent.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Nothing like it...at all.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Miles better than what I've been eating for the last year.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50I can only imagine.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I expected you to be a bag of bones,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55but look at you with the big beard and everything.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59There's not a lot to do inside other than stare at walls
0:04:59 > 0:05:00and do push-ups.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04All the more reason you should've allowed us to visit you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I'm sure Sid had his reasons.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Sometimes you are too forgiving.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13It broke the Father's heart you refusing to let see him see you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19Well, the main thing is you're back and things can get back to normal.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Or what passes for normal in Kembleford.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I've drawn up a list of jobs for you to do around the presbytery.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, yes, and you can help me and Bunty in the garden.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Yeah, sounds good...
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I've got to go. Sorry.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Thanks for the food, Mrs M.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It was good to see you again, Bunt.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Father.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52He doesn't seem at all right to me.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Perhaps he just needs time.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Unless prison has changed him for the worst.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02He kept looking at the clock.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09You're going to follow him?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I'm just going for a nice bike ride.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14In his direction?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Possibly.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37What are you doing with a gun?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Sid?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Just go, please.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Not until you tell me what's going on. Whose house is this?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Edward Reese. Head of the Judicial Appointments Commission.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51He's in there throwing a lovely little shindig
0:06:51 > 0:06:52for his latest appointee.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Giles Foster.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Your defence barrister.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03My so-called defence barrister the piece of sh...
0:07:03 > 0:07:04CHEERING
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'll take that, shall I?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Unless you want me to call the police?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- I thought you were on my side.- I am.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29This way, gentlemen, please.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Thank you.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Thank you, everyone. And now I sentence you all to fine champagne.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39HE CHUCKLES
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I wanted to thank you for all of this.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It's above and beyond, to say the least.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52On the contrary, it's fully deserved.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You're the finest young lawyer I have ever met.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57The son you never had?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Oh, don't be so sensitive.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02A little sensitivity wouldn't go amiss in this family, would it, dear?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05What are you talking about, dear? I have a heart of gold.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I just choose not to mollycoddle, that's all.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Don't let him get to you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11He's not getting to me, Mother.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Lawyers are all the same. Always playing dirty.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Indeed.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Consider yourself fortunate you dropped out of law school.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think I'll get myself a drink.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38What are you doing here?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So you remember me.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I'm touched, Your Honour(!)
0:08:43 > 0:08:44FATHER BROWN COUGHS
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Father Brown. I'm here to mediate.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54And perhaps we should go somewhere less public.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56There's nothing to mediate.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58What about the matter of a certain witness statement?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00What are you talking about?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I got hold of my case files while I was inside.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04And?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Patient next to Judith Miles...you remember.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The woman I allegedly beat up?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Said he saw a man visit her in the ward.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Panama hat, scar on his face.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17After he left, she accused me of the assault.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20You didn't think that was relevant?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24If something like that had been bought to my attention,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I would have presented it in court.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29If it does exist, then give it to me and I'll take it to the...
0:09:29 > 0:09:32You really think I'm going to trust you with it? A corrupt lawyer?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I've heard enough of this.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36You do NOT walk away from me.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38What's going on?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Gate-crashers.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Off my property, or I'll call the police.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Sidney, we're leaving.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Give me the gun.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08And what do you intend to do with it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Just want to get him alone, make him talk.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14And if he doesn't, then what? Shoot him?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17That man stole a year of my life.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Then you should take that witness statement to the proper authorities.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Proper authorities(?) What have they ever done for me?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31When you were arrested I did everything I could to solve
0:10:31 > 0:10:32this case.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I never stopped thinking about it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39And that woman never changed her story.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I'm going to handle this myself.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Sid!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Sid!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05A WOMAN SCREAMS
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, my goodness!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Right, let's get that champagne glass dusted for fingerprints.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29What are you doing here, Padre?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Just happened to be passing.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Of course you were(!)
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Giles Foster, sir. Defence barrister, newly appointed judge.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43No doubt I'll have a list of suspects as long as my arm.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'll save you time there, Inspector. I saw who did it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It was his friend.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Who's he talking about?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Sid didn't do this.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Are you calling my son a liar?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59He was threatening Giles moments before this happened.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Is this true?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Well, he was angry, yes, but...
0:12:03 > 0:12:04What exactly did you see?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08He walked right up to him and stuck the glass in his throat.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10He didn't give the poor fellow a chance.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Get him!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Sid Carter, I am arresting you for the murder of Giles Foster. - I didn't do it!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- You are not obliged... - Where's the witness statement?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27It's under my bed, in the money box. I did not do it, Father.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29...given in evidence.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Oh, Father you're back. Now...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42What on earth are you doing with that?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Sid's been arrested for murder.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Oh, sweet Jesus. Penelope was right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Prison must have changed him.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52He didn't do it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56His caravan was ransacked and a witness statement
0:12:56 > 0:12:59has been stolen that his defence barrister hid.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Is that the murder weapon?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03No.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Well, then...?- It's Sid's.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I know you care about him. And I do, too,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11but you really have to at least consider the possibility.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I will not let him down again.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34How can I...?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40What are you doing here?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I just want to talk.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I already told you everything.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48But you didn't tell me about the man with the scar.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51And you know who I mean.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I've got no idea.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58The man who visited you in hospital after you'd been attacked.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Wills and probate. Yes, we can handle that for you, Father.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I'll have to check Mr Chandler's schedule...
0:14:09 > 0:14:14I've put that life behind me. Please don't drag it up.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19I'm sorry, but I have no choice.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20I need to know the truth.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23I told you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Sid Carter accosted me in an alley.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33He said he found you, bruised and bleeding,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35and called for help. You owe him.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40What about what I'm owed?
0:14:40 > 0:14:41What do you mean?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43The years I was doing that for a living.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45You think that was by choice?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49My childhood dream?
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Childhood.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57That wasn't the first a customer to get rough, believe me.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I can't imagine what you've been through.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02That's right.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04The pain you've suffered.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10And I'd probably would think I was owed, too.
0:15:11 > 0:15:17And if somebody offered me a way out, I'd probably take it.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Especially if I had a child.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25She is beautiful.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31(She's everything to me.)
0:15:34 > 0:15:36That's why I can't help you.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'm sorry, Father.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42My life's better now.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Like I never thought it could be.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Because someone helped you.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Please!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Don't take all this away from me.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I'm not trying to take anything.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59But Sid is being held for a murder he didn't commit
0:15:59 > 0:16:03and I believe that it is connected to what happened to you.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Only, this time...
0:16:06 > 0:16:07..he could hang.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I'm sorry, Father.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51It's me. You told me to telephone if anyone started asking questions.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17What are you doing?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I wondered if I might have a word with your son.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Why?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I'd like to know exactly what he saw.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I think he made that perfectly clear.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I've known Sid Carter since he was a child.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34And you can't bear the thought that he's done something so despicable.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I believe he's innocent.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Which implies you think my son's a liar. Perhaps even the killer.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I'm not making accusations.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45But you're coming awfully close.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Did you notice a stranger at your luncheon?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Stranger?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56A man with a scar.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Perhaps a Panama hat.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01My God, yes.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08He had an evil glint in his eye and a hook for a hand(!)
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I don't think this is funny.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Father, I know what it's like to feel let down by your nearest
0:18:14 > 0:18:16and dearest.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22My son's hardly a model citizen, but he's not a killer.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27You're biased and it's clouding your judgment.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32And the same equally could be said of you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Which is why I'd be unfit to evaluate the evidence in this case.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I have to leave that to others.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41As do you.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Can you clear away the breakfast things?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Well, how am I supposed to do that?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05You put the jam in the cupboard and you put the dirty dishes in
0:19:05 > 0:19:06the sink.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Well, that's not going to prejudice the jury, is it(?)
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Well, let's hope it won't come to that.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Well?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30The hospital administrator said that the witness who saw the man
0:19:30 > 0:19:33with the scar has passed away.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Murdered?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37No. Terminal illness.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Well, surely someone else must've seen him.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Apparently not.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45So, what now?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I'm going to visit Sid.
0:19:47 > 0:19:53And on the way I'm going to give his caravan a proper search.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Well, I'll give you a lift.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58And I'll come, too. An extra pair of eyes.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Thank you...both.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08And please drive at a civilised speed.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Always, Mrs M.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33What are we looking for?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34I wish I knew.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Well, what that boy needs is the hand of a good woman.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Couldn't agree more.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21You two go back to the presbytery.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22I'll go to the police station.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Are you sure?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Tell Sidney that we're all thinking of him.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49CAR MOVES OFF IN DISTANCE
0:21:51 > 0:21:53CAR REVS
0:21:56 > 0:21:58SKIDDING SOUND
0:21:58 > 0:22:00SUSTAINED CAR HORN BEEP
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Just like they said, sir. Brake lines have been cut.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Which mean someone was trying to kill us.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I think I was the intended victim.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12We were the collateral damage.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Why would anybody want to kill you, Padre?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18No, don't answer that. Part of me sympathises.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Have you no respect?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Yes, all right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24I suppose you think it was the man with the scar and the Panama hat?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Possibly.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29I found this in Sid's caravan.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Not really his style.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Is that all you've got? A button?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I spoke to Judith Miles.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Who?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44The young woman Sid was convicted of assaulting, sir.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I asked her about the man with the scar.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50And she knew what I was talking about.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52So why isn't she down here making a statement?
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Because she's scared. She has a lot to lose.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59You're wasting your time, Padre.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I want to see Sid now.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Father.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Five minutes, Father.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Thank you, Sgt Goodfellow.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29You took your time.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Bunty and Mrs McCarthy send their love.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Did you get the witness statement?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It was stolen.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37By who?
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I take it that this doesn't belong to you?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46What do you think I am? A dandy?
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Prison didn't change me that much.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Then I think we can assume it belongs to the man
0:23:51 > 0:23:53in the Panama hat.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01So he did it all along? Mm?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03He beat up Judith Miles and he killed Giles Foster.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07No. no. They were crimes of impulse.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10He's controlled and calculated.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- So he's working for someone else? - Yes, I presume so.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Then it has to be Edward Reese, or his son.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25But we don't have enough evidence.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Well, what have you got so far?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Father...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Tell me you've got something.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Not enough.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40They're going to charge me!
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Yes, I know.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I need to hire someone.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48What do you mean?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50To beat it out of them.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51I hope you're not serious.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Do you know what, Father? Sometimes violence is the only answer.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58If there's one thing I have ever taught you,
0:24:58 > 0:25:03I hope, is that violence is never the answer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Huh!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Yes, but I don't live in your ivory tower, do I?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13This is where I live now and unless you get me out of here,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16this is where I'm going to live for the rest of my life.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Until they hang me, of course.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19And if I DO get you out...
0:25:21 > 0:25:22..what are you going to do?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Beat it out of Edward Reese yourself?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28You're supposed to be helping me!
0:25:28 > 0:25:29I AM helping you.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31By leaving me in here to rot?!
0:25:33 > 0:25:34You can go now, Father.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Ah. Tea's up.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Father?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Father? Are you all right?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Am I beaten, Mrs McCarthy?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Whatever do you mean?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Is this the mystery I'll never solve?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Is Sid the one I'll never save?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Stop that talk. You'll find something.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26You always do.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33There's nothing we can't solve over tea and strawberry scones, Father.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Award-winning strawberry scones.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Of course.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42Now, I have been thinking about the case and I know what we need to do.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yes, Mrs McCarthy?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47We need to track down the man with the Panama hat.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Agreed.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51So I am going to visit some hat shops.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Hat shops?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, he had to buy it from somewhere, didn't he?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Lateral thinking, I like it.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I suspect that we won't need to track him down.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02What do you...? What do you mean?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I'm going to ask you both to go home.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11If...if I'm a target, then...
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Don't you worry about us.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16We're staying right here. Now would you please eat up?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20I'm afraid I will not take no for an answer.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21GUNSHOT
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Oh! Holy Mother!
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Get down!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29We need a gun.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32We have one. There's one in the Father's desk.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Bunty, no!
0:27:42 > 0:27:43GUNSHOT OUTSIDE
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Police!
0:28:10 > 0:28:11OH!
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Stay down, Father!
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It's me he's after. Not you.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26I found your button.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28What?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30You're improperly dressed, soldier.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Perhaps you should sew it on before you kill me.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Drop it!
0:28:39 > 0:28:40POLICE WHISTLES
0:28:43 > 0:28:45You're under arrest for attempted murder.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48You're not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51and what you say will be taken down and may be given in evidence.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04I'll leave that in your capable hands.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Are you all right?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Don't you ever do that to me again.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30He won't say a word.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33May I speak to him?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35It's like talking to a loaf of bread, Padre.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37If you ask me, he's not all there.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38PHONE RINGS
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Kembleford Police.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42But we found this in his car,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45which suggests...
0:29:45 > 0:29:47That he's a paid assassin.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48- SGT GOODFELLOW:- OK.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50What have you got yourself mixed up in?
0:29:50 > 0:29:54And more to the point, what have you got ME mixed up in?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Have you got any evidence linking him to Edward Reese?
0:29:58 > 0:30:02The car was spotless. No identification, nothing.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04It's like he doesn't even exist.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06All right, thank you.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09They can't get a conclusive result on the champagne glass.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11The blood's obscuring the fingerprints.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I'd say without that we don't have enough evidence to charge
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Sid Carter.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Are you telling me my job?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19No, sir, Sorry, sir.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22May I take custody of him?
0:30:22 > 0:30:24You really believe he's innocent?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26I do.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Even if you're right, you've seen what he's become.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31You think you can trust him now, Padre?
0:30:31 > 0:30:32I have faith in him.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Keys.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53The killer used your champagne glass to kill Giles Foster,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55in order to incriminate you.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58But there were no other fingerprints on the glass.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02I think that the ashes I saw in the bucket outside the house
0:31:02 > 0:31:07were the remnants of the killer's blood-stained gloves.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11But why not just kill Sid? Why kill his barrister?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14The only explanation that makes sense is that they wanted to
0:31:14 > 0:31:17silence Giles Foster, and implicate you.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Two birds with one stone.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Exactly.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25This isn't getting us anywhere. We just need to confront Edward Reese.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29We can't just stroll into his house with wild accusations.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Well, who else has the money to hire an assassin?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34That is conjecture, not evidence.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35So you're a lawyer now?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Don't you speak to the Father like that.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39Sorry.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42It's just been a year.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45I've had this hanging around my neck for a year.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I want justice.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Justice...or revenge?
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Mrs McCarthy...may I?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Is this acetate?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06It most certainly is.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Is it a favourite?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12No. Well, not particularly. Why?
0:32:14 > 0:32:15May I have it?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21I'm not sure it would suit you, Father.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30What do you think you're doing?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Well, it's hardly haute couture.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Just because I didn't pay £20 for it in Swan & Edgar doesn't mean
0:32:36 > 0:32:38it wasn't a very nice scarf.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Brittle, black beads.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Just like the material I found in the bucket
0:32:47 > 0:32:49outside the Reeses' house.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Meaning what?
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Lydia Reese.
0:32:53 > 0:32:59At the reception she was wearing a scarf. After the murder, she wasn't.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Sid!
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Sid, what are you doing?
0:33:14 > 0:33:17What I should have done from the start.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Sid!
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Those brakes!
0:33:31 > 0:33:32The brakes!
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I had them fixed.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Thank God for that. He must be going to the house.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39We have to call the police.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Not yet. I'll talk to him.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45For once Penelope is right. I hate to say it, but she is.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49And I don't want you in any more danger.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Don't worry about me.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Father...
0:33:52 > 0:33:55the simple truth is, we have lost him.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59I'll get him back.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Surprise.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Edward!
0:34:31 > 0:34:34I think it's about time we had a little chat.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38What do you want?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41The truth.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45You won't get that by waving a gun at us.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46I disagree.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50You killed Giles Foster.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Are you mad?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54And you knew about it.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56What do you hope to gain?
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Nothing we say will be admissible in court if it's coerced from us
0:35:00 > 0:35:01at gunpoint.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I told you what I want. The truth.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07You haven't got the guts to pull the trigger.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08You're a joke.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10TRIGGER COCKS
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Randolph, no.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14KNOCK AT DOOR
0:35:16 > 0:35:17Start talking.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Yes, I killed him.- Why?
0:35:20 > 0:35:21To protect my son.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26You beat up Judith Miles.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27You mean that whore?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Don't antagonise him, for God's sake.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31And you knew about it.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35So you bribed my barrister to bury the witness statement.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39What was he going to do? Expose you?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41It was a risk I couldn't take.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49What do you suggest we do?
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Leave it with me.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53But if he has the witness statement...
0:35:53 > 0:35:55As I said, I'll take care of that.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58I should never have listened to you.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01You're where you are now because of me. Don't forget that.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Exactly. This is all because of you.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Meaning what?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10I've given you a bright future.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I can take it away just as easily.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Everything's going to be all right.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33I'm sorry, Mrs Reese. I have to tell the truth.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- You're sure?- I am.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40I understand.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46HE GROANS
0:36:49 > 0:36:51You've got what you wanted. The truth.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Now go.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56What about the man with the scar?
0:36:56 > 0:37:00He works for me, yes, amongst other prominent members of society.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04He is what I believe you call a fixer.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Fixed you up well, didn't he?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07So we're all in on it together.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11What are you going to do? Shoot us all?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Whatever you decide, you're doomed to failure.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17The only certainty is that you'll be going back to prison where
0:37:17 > 0:37:19you belong.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Yeah, well, maybe before I go, I should put you where you belong.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Sid...
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Put down the gun.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34You are not a killer.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39They took a year of my life.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42You have the rest of your life left.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Sid, you are the closest thing I have ever had...
0:37:51 > 0:37:52..to a son.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Please.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Lydia, Lydia, no.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I told you, nothing we have said will be admissible.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- I'm not going to take that chance. - Do it, Mother.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- LYDIA:- We'll say they broke in.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17We struggled for the gun. It went off.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- EDWARD:- You're not thinking rationally.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23I have just confessed to murder and Randolph to assault. What choice do we have?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Go ahead, pull the trigger.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28GO ON, DO IT!
0:38:28 > 0:38:30GUN BARREL CLICKS
0:38:30 > 0:38:33GUN BARREL CLICKS AGAIN
0:38:37 > 0:38:40They broke in. I managed to...
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Don't waste your breath, Madam. We heard everything.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44No...
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Mother...
0:38:45 > 0:38:50Let me hold him. Please, let me hold him. One last time. Please....
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Lydia Reese, you're under arrest for the murder of Giles Foster.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00but what you say will be written down and may be given in evidence.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Sid...
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Oh! Just in time for tea and sandwiches.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56I'll get you a cup.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- And scones.- I'm not staying.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Going away?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02For a while.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05But you've just been away for a whole year.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09I want to travel. See the world.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12See the world? How are you going to afford that?
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Well, I'll get by. Odd jobs, handyman work.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Might even visit Lady F.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Drive her round Rhodesia.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Drive her round the bend, more like.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22For how long?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25I don't know.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31This might sound silly, but I want to have some adventures.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Don't you have enough adventures here?
0:40:37 > 0:40:41Listen, I don't want a long goodbye so...
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Cos I know I'll just change my mind, so...
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I'm leaving now.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47What, right now?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Not before I have packed you a lunch.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00I'll come back.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Well, send us lots of postcards.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05And if you ever need a partner-in-crime,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07you know where to find me.
0:41:09 > 0:41:15Now, there's some sandwiches and my scones.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Oh, Sidney, you come back to us, now.
