0:00:20 > 0:00:23- MAN:- A few words for the press, Mr Flambeau. Mr Flambeau!

0:00:23 > 0:00:25A few words for the press!

0:00:27 > 0:00:31Hercule Flambeau - our star prisoner.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Unshackle me, I'll give you an autograph.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Ooh!

0:00:37 > 0:00:38HE GRUNTS

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Any more of your smart mouth and the next one's across the jaw.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20You're a man of God?

0:01:21 > 0:01:23My whole life.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26You'll need him where you're going.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54WOLF WHISTLE

0:01:59 > 0:02:05RHYTHMIC CLAPPING

0:02:20 > 0:02:25CLAPPING CONTINUES

0:02:27 > 0:02:29That's enough!

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Into to your cells.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Here...reading material.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'm here to see Hercule Flambeau.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Father Brown?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yes.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45- I'm here to see... - I know what you're here for.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Governor wants to see you first.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Arms, please.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Turn.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oops.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's for personal use.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Follow me.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42KNOCK ON DOOR

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Come in.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53He had this on him.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56A priest with a lock pick?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Always getting locked out of the presbytery.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05I'll look after that, shall I?

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Flambeau has requested you as his chaplain. Why?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11We have history.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14You're his spiritual advisor?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16I try to be.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Must be an uphill task.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21By all accounts, he's a sociopath.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24And now a murderer.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27No-one is beyond redemption.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30You should try working in the prison service for a few years,

0:05:30 > 0:05:31see if that's how you feel.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Amen to that, sir.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Much as we'd like to be a place of rehabilitation,

0:05:36 > 0:05:38the truth is far uglier.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Men are not sent here to be rehabilitated.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43They're sent here to be punished.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Flambeau hasn't been tried yet.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47He may be innocent.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Have you read this?- Yes.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Doesn't seem very innocent to me. - No.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01You're not to go anywhere without an escort. Do you understand?

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Yes.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Thank you, Mitchell.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Chapel's this way.- Chapel?

0:06:25 > 0:06:27It's where he spends most of his time.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31If he gives you any trouble, just call and I'll come running.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43DOOR LOCKS FROM OUTSIDE

0:06:43 > 0:06:44You answered my call.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48How could I refuse?

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Given my past transgressions against you,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52you have every right to refuse.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01And turn my back on an old acquaintance?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Acquaintance? Is that all I am to you?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06What would you prefer? Friend?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Ally.- Depends on what you want.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Your counsel, nothing more.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14When have you ever asked for my counsel?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16When have I ever been charged with murder?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Did you do it?

0:07:22 > 0:07:26You've read the papers. What do you think?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29You were seen arguing with Flynn Hardwick on

0:07:29 > 0:07:31the night of his disappearance.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33He was trying to swindle me.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Cross words were spoken, but it's purely circumstantial.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39And his wife saw you dumping his body in the river.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42She's either mistaken or lying.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43Besides, no body's been discovered.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46For all we know, my business associate's lying drunk

0:07:46 > 0:07:47in a ditch somewhere.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50And his blood was on your shirt.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Planted.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57Forgive me for saying,

0:07:57 > 0:08:01but if you are innocent, why this sudden devotion to prayer?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I found it in an antiques shop in London two months ago.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Worthless, and yet something about it spoke to me.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19St Michael the Archangel.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22The leader of angels - summoning men from their lives on Earth

0:08:22 > 0:08:24to their heavenly judgment.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Are you saying you want redemption?

0:08:27 > 0:08:31I'm saying, if I'm found guilty I will surely hang.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36If that comes to pass, I want you to hear my confession,

0:08:36 > 0:08:39the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Will you do it, Father?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Of course.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Thank you.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16Flambeau.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Lenny.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20So you remember me. I'm touched.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Well, I never forget a pretty face.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26You ought to watch yourself talking like that around here,

0:09:26 > 0:09:29some blokes might get the wrong idea.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33But then again, maybe that's what you like.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35As much as I'm enjoying this flirtation,

0:09:35 > 0:09:36I have business to discuss.

0:09:38 > 0:09:39I'm in here cos of you.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41You sounded the alarm.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43You sounded the alarm!

0:09:43 > 0:09:45You ran off with the loot and left me to get caught.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Paranoid fantasies. That always was your problem.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Oi! Keep your hands off him.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54This ain't over.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Go on.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Thank you for your intervention.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Well, it's not their job to snuff you out. It's ours.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- You look like a man who can get things.- For a price.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33So, you're what?

0:10:33 > 0:10:38Giving spiritual guidance... to the killer of my husband?

0:10:38 > 0:10:41I understand you may not think he deserves it...

0:10:41 > 0:10:42He deserves Hell.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Perhaps he does.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I am not just there for him.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54I'm here for you.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57And we've brought you some Bakewell tarts.

0:10:58 > 0:11:03Mrs McCarthy, parish secretary. And...

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Bunty Windermere. I'm the parish grief counsellor.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08How are you coping?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12It's not been easy, obviously.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14We were married for 18 years.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23It must have been terrible witnessing what you did.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25It was.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27If you don't mind my asking,

0:11:27 > 0:11:31what were Flambeau and your husband arguing about?

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Money. What else?

0:11:35 > 0:11:37But I didn't hear all of it.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39I was up in the bedroom, getting ready for bed.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42So, you didn't see the murder?

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well, no, but...

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Why are you asking all these questions?

0:11:51 > 0:11:55Well, I've heard Flambeau's side of the story

0:11:55 > 0:11:57and I'd like to hear yours.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I was about to come in here and tell them to shut their mouths...

0:12:05 > 0:12:07..then it all went quiet.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09I looked out of the window.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13Saw that monster dragging my husband into the woods.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15That must have been awful.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17I followed him, to the river,

0:12:17 > 0:12:20saw him throw his body in like a ragdoll.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Oh, that's just from the last night I spent with Flynn.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32I've not been able to bring myself to clear them away.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Now, if you don't mind, I think I'd rather be alone.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Of course.- So sorry for your loss. - God bless.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50- MRS MCCARTHY:- I'm telling you, that woman was lying through her teeth.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52And right to our faces.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55She's having an affair.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58That could be it. Deceiving her husband before he was killed.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00So, maybe she did it.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Or her lover did.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Her lover. Wait a minute!

0:13:05 > 0:13:09Wait a minute, supposing her husband isn't dead at all, he's still alive

0:13:09 > 0:13:12and they're both in on it together to stitch up Flambeau.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13But why would they do that?

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well he probably double-crossed them,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17just like he double-crosses everyone.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19So, the wine and the candles...

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Yes, a husband and wife having a romantic night together,

0:13:23 > 0:13:26and no doubt celebrating Flambeau's arrest.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Romantic nights after 18 years of marriage? I don't think so.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Ah, yes, but then you are a cynic.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I'm a realist.

0:13:33 > 0:13:34Well, either way,

0:13:34 > 0:13:38we need to find out if there's someone else in that house with her.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40A stakeout, like they do at the pictures.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Exactly! Father?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49I am going to Flambeau's pre-trial hearing,

0:13:49 > 0:13:52and I leave the surveillance in your capable hands.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01CHATTERING

0:14:01 > 0:14:03- JUDGE:- Order. Order.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Hercule Flambeau,

0:14:09 > 0:14:15you are charged on indictment that on August 17th, 1953,

0:14:15 > 0:14:18you did wilfully murder Flynn Hardwick in

0:14:18 > 0:14:20the county of Gloucestershire.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24How do you plead?

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Guilty.

0:14:29 > 0:14:30CHATTERING

0:14:30 > 0:14:31GAVEL BANGS

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Order! Order!

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Thank you.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Why the change of heart?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48I've finally accepted my need for salvation.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52I'd like to believe you...

0:14:52 > 0:14:54But?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57I've seen you wear too many disguises.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00I just confessed to murder. There's no disguising that.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02And yet you seem remarkably...

0:15:03 > 0:15:05..unperturbed for a man facing the death sentence.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Is it really that difficult for you to believe that I might be at peace, Father?

0:15:08 > 0:15:11That unburdening myself has finally released me?

0:15:11 > 0:15:12DOOR UNLOCKS

0:15:12 > 0:15:15I thought that was what you've always wanted?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Court's in session.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Hercule Flambeau,

0:15:27 > 0:15:29in accordance with the law

0:15:29 > 0:15:33and the requirements of just punishment and retribution,

0:15:33 > 0:15:37I sentence you to be taken from this place

0:15:37 > 0:15:40and hanged by the neck until you are dead.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41CHATTERING

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Order! Order!

0:15:44 > 0:15:48In the interest of mitigating any further glorification of your

0:15:48 > 0:15:52vile criminal history by the gutter press,

0:15:52 > 0:15:55I order that execution be carried out at

0:15:55 > 0:15:58the earliest possible convenience.

0:15:58 > 0:15:59Take him down.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Why are you doing this?

0:16:05 > 0:16:09I already told you, I'm answering the call of heavenly judgment.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18She's washing the dishes.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20I can see that from here.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21It's the wine glasses.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23She's getting rid of the evidence!

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Can you see if anyone else is in the room with her?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29No.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Wait. Look. Someone's opening the window!

0:16:34 > 0:16:35There!

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Can you see his face?

0:16:37 > 0:16:41No, her big, fat head is in the way.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Oh! We need a closer look.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53All you had to do was clear away those glasses.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54- MAN:- I was going to.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Yeah, it's always "I was going to," with you, isn't it?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58As if some wine and a few candles

0:16:58 > 0:17:00would make up for what you did, anyway.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02How long are you going to keep punishing me for that?

0:17:02 > 0:17:04I told you, it didn't mean anything.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Well, that's what all men say.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Besides, I'm making it up to you, aren't I?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Look at the risk I'm taking...

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Ow! Ow! My sciatica!

0:17:13 > 0:17:15What was that?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Oi!- Run!

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Get in! Get in!

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Oi! You! Come back here!

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Father?- In here.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49- I was right! - Flambeau didn't kill Flynn Hardwick.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- He's still alive.- Exactly!

0:17:51 > 0:17:52We just saw him at the house.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Looks like they've stitched up Flambeau together,

0:17:54 > 0:17:56- just like Mrs M said.- Not quite.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58What does that mean?

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Flambeau isn't the victim in all this.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03He's the architect.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Clean sheets.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35DOOR UNLOCKS

0:18:48 > 0:18:50I know why you're here.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Enlighten me.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57The Medallion of the Archangel.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Unlike your replica, the original was made of gold.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Last known owner, Nathaniel Grey,

0:19:09 > 0:19:13collector of religious antiquities.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15A man after my own heart.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20And according to the plaque outside the gates...

0:19:22 > 0:19:25- ..the architect of this prison. - Go on.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31On his death, his collection was donated to

0:19:31 > 0:19:34the Roman Capitoline museums -

0:19:34 > 0:19:38apart from one artefact that was not accounted for.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41And I think you know where it is.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43My guess would be the condemned cell.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Which is why you faked Flynn Hardwick's death.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Bravo, Father. I'd knew you'd catch up eventually.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58How did you know where it was?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01I acquired Nathaniel Grey's private papers at auction.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03He was a pious imbecile.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07He actually believed the medallion had the power to combat Satan

0:20:07 > 0:20:09and escort the faithful to Heaven.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12And no better place to work its wonder...

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- ..than the condemned cell. - Precisely.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24How do you intend to get it out?

0:20:24 > 0:20:25As always, Father,

0:20:25 > 0:20:28with a combination of ingenuity and panache.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33You are facing the gallows...

0:20:37 > 0:20:38..for a piece of gold?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42I assure you, Father...

0:20:42 > 0:20:45I have no intention of standing on the gallows.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48DOOR UNLOCKS

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Out!

0:21:04 > 0:21:06From now on you'll be on death watch.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Two officers will be with you at all times,

0:21:09 > 0:21:12to stop you from doing yourself in before the main event.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Thank you, that's very kind.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18But first, I'd like to take confession,

0:21:18 > 0:21:21with your permission, of course.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Five minutes.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39The medallion's in the wall.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40And I have five minutes to find it.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42This was never about confession!

0:21:43 > 0:21:46You just wanted to get rid of the death watch officers.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49And what better way than the sanctity of confession.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50You've used me from the start.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54Don't be disgruntled, Father. You're enjoying this as much as I am.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Now the question is - which brick?

0:21:58 > 0:22:00You don't know, do you?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Nathaniel Grey didn't specify,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04but I don't believe he would have hidden the medallion

0:22:04 > 0:22:06without leaving some sort of clue as to...

0:22:11 > 0:22:13"Mark, 16:16."

0:22:13 > 0:22:17"He that believeth and is baptised, shall be saved;

0:22:17 > 0:22:22"but he that believeth not shall be condemned."

0:22:22 > 0:22:23Shall we?

0:22:28 > 0:22:33One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

0:22:33 > 0:22:3611, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Et voila!

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Alive?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50We saw him with our own eyes.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51How good is your eyesight?

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Mine's 20/20, and I saw him too.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55But Flambeau confessed.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58He's lying! He's trying to steal some kind of medallion.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Solid gold.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02And how do you know this?

0:23:02 > 0:23:03Father Brown!

0:23:03 > 0:23:06The padre. Of course he's involved in all of this.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- I'm not listening to another word. - Inspector...

0:23:13 > 0:23:16I think you have about two minutes.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18More than enough time.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19What?

0:23:19 > 0:23:22To remove a 160 year old brick?

0:23:22 > 0:23:27Amongst Nathaniel Grey's papers, I found plans for a device.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28What sort of device?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30This sort of device.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33MECHANICAL WHIRRING

0:23:33 > 0:23:35DOOR UNLOCKS

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Yes?- What was that noise?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Noise?- One minute.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's beautiful.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16How are you going to get it out of here?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18That's the easy part.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21I'm going to stroll outside the front door.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25So, Flynn Hardwick will turn himself in?

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Tomorrow morning, alive and well.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Time's up.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Thank you, Father. Your assistance has been invaluable.

0:24:42 > 0:24:43God bless.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54I'm going to watch him for a minute.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04I'm not supposed to be telling you this,

0:25:04 > 0:25:06but I thought you should know...

0:25:08 > 0:25:14..they've rescheduled your execution for tomorrow at 10am.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17So, in about...17 hours,

0:25:17 > 0:25:22you'll be twisting and writhing at the end of a rope,

0:25:22 > 0:25:24fouling yourself most likely.

0:25:27 > 0:25:32Anyway, like I said, I thought you had a right to know.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41HE KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:25:41 > 0:25:46"I'm so sorry, Your Honour, the booze took hold of me again.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49"I didn't know where I was, or even who I was.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52"My friend, Hercule Flambeau,

0:25:52 > 0:25:55"has been accused of a heinous crime that never even happened."

0:25:55 > 0:25:58All right, all right. You're not auditioning for Hamlet, you know.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I need to make it seem natural.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02Then don't over-rehearse it.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07Once I get paid, this'll be a fresh start for us.

0:26:07 > 0:26:12We can go anywhere, be happy together for the rest of our lives, can't we?

0:26:13 > 0:26:16I love you, Peg. I even shed blood for you.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18You didn't do it for me, you did it for him.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20I did it for us.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24You're an old romantic, really, aren't you?

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Always have been.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29That's how I made you fall in love with me.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32Go on, you've got to come back from the dead, remember.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Oh, love?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42CLANGING

0:26:50 > 0:26:53DOOR UNLOCKS

0:26:53 > 0:26:57You've got a visitor. Get a move on.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21What are you doing here?

0:27:21 > 0:27:25The grieving wife has a right to see her husband's killer before his execution.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28At least that's what I told the guards. Shed a few tears.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31It was quite the performance, even if I do say so myself...

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Where's Flynn?

0:27:33 > 0:27:36He's tied up...literally.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39And if you want me to let him go,

0:27:39 > 0:27:42you give me what you're wearing round your neck.

0:27:42 > 0:27:43That's it, isn't it?

0:27:45 > 0:27:47You killed him.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Of course I didn't kill him.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Yes, all right, I did.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Every marriage goes through its difficulties.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03If you give me that medallion,

0:28:03 > 0:28:06I'll give the police a tip-off,

0:28:06 > 0:28:07tell them where the body is.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10They'll see he only died recently, and know you couldn't have done it.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13At which point, you become a suspect.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Once I have the gold, I can go anywhere I want.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Even if I agreed, there isn't time.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19I'm to be hanged this morning.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Then there's no time to lose.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23And let you walk away and watch me die?

0:28:25 > 0:28:28What choice have you got but to trust me?

0:28:28 > 0:28:30I have one choice and one choice only -

0:28:30 > 0:28:34to extricate myself from this facility and hunt you down.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36You'll never get out of here.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40You have no idea what I'm capable of.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44You're already a dead man.

0:28:53 > 0:28:54I need to see my priest!

0:28:56 > 0:28:58You wait in the car.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00I am not waiting in the car!

0:29:00 > 0:29:03What if we have to run again?

0:29:03 > 0:29:05I managed perfectly well the last time.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15SCRAPING

0:29:15 > 0:29:16Shh!

0:29:16 > 0:29:17What's that sound?

0:29:18 > 0:29:20It's coming from behind the house.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39CAMERA CLICKS

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Run! Run!

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Come on!

0:29:52 > 0:29:54GUN COCKS

0:29:54 > 0:29:57Not this time, ladies.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01- Murdered? - A most unfortunate turn of events.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03If the police find the body...

0:30:03 > 0:30:05There isn't time. I'm to be executed in half an hour.

0:30:05 > 0:30:06Half an hour?!

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Fortunately, I wouldn't have embarked on this endeavour

0:30:09 > 0:30:12- if I didn't have a backup plan, but I'll need your help.- To escape?

0:30:12 > 0:30:14I need something to unlock a pair of handcuffs.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17- A key would be ideal... - Or a lock pick?

0:30:17 > 0:30:19If you have one handy.

0:30:19 > 0:30:24Telephone call for you, Father Brown. Officer's station.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26Wait for me outside.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Tick-tock.

0:30:34 > 0:30:39Tick-tock.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Tick-tock.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Hello?

0:30:47 > 0:30:48- Father Brown?- Yes.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50'This is Peggy Hardwick.'

0:30:51 > 0:30:54I'm pointing a shotgun at your two friends

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Bunty Windermere and Bridget McCarthy.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Do you understand?

0:31:00 > 0:31:01Yes.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03'If you want to ever see them alive again,'

0:31:03 > 0:31:04I suggest you do as I say.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Get me that medallion.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12I suggest stealing it from Flambeau's body once he's been hanged.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14I want to speak to them.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Bring it to my house.

0:31:17 > 0:31:18We'll be waiting.

0:31:18 > 0:31:22If I can't speak to them, I will do nothing.

0:31:26 > 0:31:27Father?

0:31:27 > 0:31:29'Bunty?'

0:31:29 > 0:31:31She's mad. She killed her husband and buried him in the garden.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Don't listen to anything she...- No! - SCREAMING

0:31:37 > 0:31:39If you don't do what I say,

0:31:39 > 0:31:43they'll both be getting a lot more than a little bump on the head.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50DIAL TONE

0:32:00 > 0:32:03KNOCK ON DOOR

0:32:03 > 0:32:05He insisted on seeing you, sir.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Make sure the hatches are down.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09I don't want the same ruckus on Flambeau's exit

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- that we had on his arrival. - Yes, sir.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13Yes, Father, what can I do for you?

0:32:13 > 0:32:15I am rather pressed for time.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18- Flambeau is innocent. - Excuse me?

0:32:18 > 0:32:22He didn't kill Flynn Hardwick. His wife did.

0:32:22 > 0:32:23And you know this how?

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Well, if you send the police to his house,

0:32:26 > 0:32:28you'll find his body buried in the garden.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32Look, even if what you say were true,

0:32:32 > 0:32:35there is nothing that I can do.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37You could postpone his execution.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39Out of my jurisdiction.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42Well, then, telephone a judge.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44On the words of a priest?

0:32:47 > 0:32:51You are about to execute an innocent man.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54The sentence has been passed.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01You may perform the last rites,

0:33:01 > 0:33:03but if I hear one more word of this nonsense,

0:33:03 > 0:33:06I shall have one of my officers throw you out.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08I understand.

0:33:28 > 0:33:29It's time.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05You're a homosexual, aren't you?

0:34:07 > 0:34:09What?

0:34:12 > 0:34:15What did you say to me?

0:34:15 > 0:34:18As a condemned man, I believe I have the right to speak the truth.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22I saw the way you looked at me when I was undressing.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24And I saw the way you looked at me just now.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30It's nothing to be ashamed of.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Does your wife know?

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Come any closer and I'll perforate his jugular.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43Give him the keys.

0:34:43 > 0:34:44- Now!- Go!

0:34:47 > 0:34:48Let's go.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52DOOR LOCKS

0:34:52 > 0:34:53Stop!

0:34:53 > 0:34:56BANGING ON DOOR

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Quickly, quickly!

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Turn right! Down the stairs!

0:35:06 > 0:35:09- PRISON GUARD:- Oi! - Up.

0:35:09 > 0:35:10- PRISON GUARD:- Lockdown!

0:35:10 > 0:35:11WHISTLE BLOWS

0:35:11 > 0:35:13CHATTERING

0:35:13 > 0:35:15- PRISON GUARD:- Back to your cells!

0:35:15 > 0:35:17Go, go!

0:35:17 > 0:35:19All the way to the end. Find the key.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Open that door.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24SIREN BLARES

0:35:24 > 0:35:25I wouldn't come any closer!

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Stand back!

0:35:27 > 0:35:30Come any closer and I'll kill him!

0:35:30 > 0:35:32Take out your keys.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Take out your keys!

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Do as he says.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Quickly.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45Now throw them over the edge

0:35:46 > 0:35:48HE GROANS

0:35:48 > 0:35:49Now.

0:35:57 > 0:35:58Go!

0:36:08 > 0:36:10That was convincing.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Don't worry. I would only have killed you as a last resort.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15So, how do you intend to get out?

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Voila!

0:36:30 > 0:36:32What is this place?

0:36:32 > 0:36:33In less enlightened times,

0:36:33 > 0:36:36prisoners were chained around this cesspool for days.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Needless to say, they weren't permitted a lavatory break.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41This is where I leave you, Father.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Um, no.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46I'm coming with you.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49No, no. You'll only slow me down. We haven't time.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51You have no choice.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58What? You think you can just walk away from me?

0:37:00 > 0:37:03- You can kill me, if you want to... - Oi!

0:37:03 > 0:37:05That's what I'm going to do.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07..or you can join me in escaping.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10- I'll show you the way. - Yeah, you will.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14- You too. - No, no. We don't need him.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17I say we do. You can never have too many hostages.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Whoo!

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Whoo!

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Keep your voice down, you imbecile.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45You forget I still got this?

0:37:47 > 0:37:49And this?

0:37:49 > 0:37:51HE CHUCKLES

0:37:51 > 0:37:53It appears to have lost its sheen.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59You think you're clever, priest?

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Hm?

0:38:01 > 0:38:03HE CHUCKLES

0:38:03 > 0:38:05Well played, Father.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08You switched them in the tunnel.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Glad to be of assistance.

0:38:12 > 0:38:13The medallion?

0:38:14 > 0:38:17I'm afraid I can't.

0:38:17 > 0:38:18I beg to differ.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25Peggy Hardwick is holding two of my dearest friends hostage.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27If I don't give her the medallion,

0:38:27 > 0:38:29she's threatening to kill them and...

0:38:31 > 0:38:32..I believe her.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Where is she?

0:38:46 > 0:38:49He's here. The door's open!

0:38:54 > 0:38:58Don't worry, this'll all be over soon enough.

0:39:06 > 0:39:07Are you all right?

0:39:07 > 0:39:08What happened to you?

0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Long story.- Enough chit-chat.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14Give it to me.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22SHE CHUCKLES

0:39:22 > 0:39:23Good.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Right, into the back garden.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30Oh, no, you don't!

0:39:34 > 0:39:36The medallion. Now.

0:39:43 > 0:39:44No.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Please, don't.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Flambeau, you are not a murderer.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52But she is.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Doesn't she deserve the death penalty?

0:39:55 > 0:40:01No-one has the right to take a life, least of all you.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03As much as I'd love to debate the ethics of capital punishment

0:40:03 > 0:40:06with you, Father, it appears I have to run.

0:40:06 > 0:40:07POLICE SIREN BLARES

0:40:07 > 0:40:08Do you know how to handle this?

0:40:08 > 0:40:11- What do you think? - My kind of woman.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Au revoir, Father.

0:40:18 > 0:40:19God be with you.

0:40:23 > 0:40:24What's going on?

0:40:24 > 0:40:25She tried to kill us!

0:40:25 > 0:40:27And she killed her husband!

0:40:27 > 0:40:29You'll find his grave out in the garden.

0:40:29 > 0:40:30None of which would have happened

0:40:30 > 0:40:32if you'd listened to us in the first place!

0:40:32 > 0:40:34I'll take that, thank you.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37We had a report Flambeau was in the area.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42- He's gone.- Where?

0:40:42 > 0:40:43That way.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45Goodfellow.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47Right, lads, take her down the station.
