0:00:35 > 0:00:36A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-Argh!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Sorry, Aunt Flis, I didn't mean to scare you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10By breaking into my bedroom in the middle of the night?!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I thought I'd slip in quietly.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm on the run, you see, and I didn't want to wake the servants.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Well, that went to plan(!)
0:01:17 > 0:01:19It's only Miss Bunty.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Hello, Hornby. Sorry for all the kerfuffle.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Hello, Miss Bunty.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Please go back to bed. I'll deal with this.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Now, what have you done?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Well, a photographer from The Post snapped me leaving the Night Bunker.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34The Night Bunker?!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Ghastly, I know, but sleazy is all the rage.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39What's worse is that I was with Tony Hartley,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and now his wife is citing me in the divorce.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Oh, Bunty!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh, it's a fearful stink, I know.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Daddy's on the warpath and, um...I was thinking
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I need a place to lay low until he calms down.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And where better than with my favourite aunt?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Mm-hm.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Play your cards right, you can be mistress of all this.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Eeh, Lady Davina. How lovely to see you.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Mr Vanderlande.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Do come in.- Thank you.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Yes, Dickie, she WILL hate it, but that's rather the point.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Well, I'm glad that's settled.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Goodbye, Dickie.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51PHONE RINGS
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Felicia Montague.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Tonight?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Yes, of course.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07So it's the Mother's Union at 11,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10followed by the first Holy Communicants,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14and then after lunch the Wayward Girls.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Ooh, and I said we'd call in on Lady Davina,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19see how Ruby Jewel is faring.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22The baby went to a nice family in Guildford.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I wonder how Ruby will cope with Malmort.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Oh, it's a grim old place,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31but, then, we're not exactly spoilt for choice.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Not many are keen to take on girls of loose morals.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Coo-ee!
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I wonder if I might beg a favour?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43My niece is staying and I wondered if you'd help babysit.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Babysit?- Mm.- Oh, how lovely!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- It would be our pleasure. - How old is she?
0:03:51 > 0:03:5325.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Best behaviour, now.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Davina! I don't think you've met my niece, Bunty.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10How do you do, Lady Malmort?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Dickie Windermere's girl.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I know you by, er...reputation.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Ah! And here is Smith.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Oh! And how are you settling in, child?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Very grateful to Her Ladyship for the opportunity.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I spy my house guests.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Will you excuse me while I fetch them for tea?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Anyone I know?- Oh, hardly.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Just Norman Vanderlande -
0:04:38 > 0:04:41common as muck, but rich as Croesus - and his daughter, Joan.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46A milksop, but, thankfully, educated, as I intend her for Bobby.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50An arranged marriage? How very Victorian.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Unfortunately, not all of us are in a position
0:04:53 > 0:04:55where we turn our noses up at trade!
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Smith?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07She said Ruby Jewel was an unsuitable name for a housemaid.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And while I'm here I'd be known as Smith.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And I'll tell you, Father, this place gives me the creeps.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16It is a bit Gormenghast.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Nonsense, Penelope. It's a fresh start.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21A chance to put the past behind you.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Huh! There's no such thing.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29You never know who'll come crawling out of the woodwork.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40You were supposed to be here for lunch!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I was unavoidably detained.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44In an all-night drinking den?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I am warning you, Bobby, do NOT embarrass me!
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Mr Vanderlande! Sincere apologies for my tardy arrival.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54And Miss Vanderlande. Delighted to see you again.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Why all the formality?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I think you'll find she answers to "Joan".
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Davina, we'll leave you to your guests.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Bunty Windermere, what are you doing in the sticks?!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Bobby! Time for bad behaviour. I could ask you the same thing!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Long story. We must catch up.- Yes!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Well, sadly, Miss Windermere is just leaving.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Then she must return for dinner, as she's in the area.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Of course. You are BOTH more than welcome.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I'm so sorry, I have an engagement in London.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26But if you need someone to make up numbers,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I can attest to Father Brown's attributes as a dinner guest.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Well, in that case, Father, can I persuade you to join us?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It would be my pleasure.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Well, that's settled, then. Shall we?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Mr Van... Norman.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55That's the first I heard of this trip to London.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It... It's all very last-minute.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00That means you're going to miss the summer fete meeting.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Well, I'm sure you can cover for me.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04And what is so important that you have to go rushing off
0:07:04 > 0:07:05without so much as a by-your-leave?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's boring. Nothing that would interest you.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Ah, here you are. Good.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Ship-shape and Bristol. - I know what you're doing.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Turning up drunk, inviting the Windermere girl.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Whatever it is you've got planned, you can forget it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31This was your grandmother's.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Seven carats and hideously ugly,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36so no doubt it will impress Norman Vanderlande.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40You've only got yourself to blame.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Who was it who gambled and drank away a fortune
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and then rendered himself unmarriageable
0:07:47 > 0:07:49to any woman of breeding?!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51How can I forget, as you remind me so often?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53So you WILL behave.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57And propose to the girl.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Or you will go down as the man that let this family go to ruin.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Anything for you, dear Mother.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I'd better go and see what your future father-in-law is up to.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Let's hope he's not inspecting the roof!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Ah! Good evening, Father.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Er...Bobby will get you a drink.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Thank you.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Duke of Wellington?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Oh. Close, but no cigar.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40This is Major General Robert Craufurd, AKA Black Bob.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43My little brother, Arthur, was the Duke of Wellington.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Black Bob's my lucky charm.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52(Lord knows I need it.)
0:08:54 > 0:08:56RAUCOUS LAUGHTER
0:08:56 > 0:08:58More sauce with your tart, sir?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01No! Thank you.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04You must give us the grand tour.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Joanie's interested in your subterranean maze.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Fascinating. Built by the 5th Marquis, I believe.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15But why would he build a maze underground?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Because he was as mad as a sack of ferrets and had a bet
0:09:18 > 0:09:21that he could build the most fiendish maze.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Modelled on a design by Frigimelica.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Although I don't suppose that will mean anything to any of you.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Architect of the Villa Pisani Labyrinth in Stra.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Reputed to be the most difficult maze in the world.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38You ARE well-informed.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40She spends too much time with her nose in a book.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43She said she wanted to go to university, I said,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46"That's no preparation for life."
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Depends on what sort of life.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I like puzzles, and would like to see it, if I may?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well, as long as you're accompanied.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02We've already lost one guest in there,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04so we don't like to take any chances.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06And when she says lost, she means...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Don't stop when it's starting to get interesting!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16A chap named Peregrine Goodluck.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Unfortunately monikered, as transpires.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21He wandered in during a house party.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Everyone thought he'd left early without saying his goodbyes.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Six months later, they found his skeleton.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33The servants think his ghost's still in there...trying to get out.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Poor soul.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Well, on that subject, we'll have coffee now.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I'm sure that some of our guests will need to go.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I asked Bunty to stay the night.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48We can't have her driving half-cut.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Especially after last time.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54BUNTY GIGGLES
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I'm sorry.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09I didn't mean no harm.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Please don't tell Her Ladyship.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16I have no intention of telling Lady Deadlock.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17She reminds me of my mother.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Which is by no means a compliment.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Thank you. I need this job.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28At least until I've saved enough money to get back to London,
0:11:28 > 0:11:29and my old life.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I'm guessing you weren't a housemaid.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- A dancer.- Hm!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36At the Windmill Club in Soho.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- You won't have heard of it. - I know it well.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40You're surprised?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43It's not the sort of place respectable ladies are seen.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47That's because I'm neither a lady nor respectable.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50At least, according to my parents.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- My parents said much the same thing, miss.- Hm!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'm sorry about your baby.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Don't be.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I've plans.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- The last thing I need is to be saddled with a kid.- Hm.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- If that's everything...- Oh, Ruby?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Take the stole. It'll be just the thing for London.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16What's wrong?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22In my experience, folk don't give things away for nothing, is all.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24BUNTY SIGHS
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Ruby?!
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Ruby?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Any witnesses?- No, sir.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29She and the butler are the only live-in servants.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Also here last night were
0:13:31 > 0:13:34the Marquis and Dowager Marchioness and three house guests,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Mr and Miss Vanderlande and the Honourable Penelope Windermere,
0:13:37 > 0:13:38who found the body.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Is something bothering you, Padre?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Well, she must have fallen from, what...30 feet?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I'd have expected there to be more blood.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56If you're sniffing around for a mystery, you won't find one here.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58We've got ourselves a jumper.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01She was straight out of a mother-and-baby home.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04It wouldn't be the first time, and I doubt it will be the last.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Get a statement from Miss Windermere
0:14:05 > 0:14:07and make sure you search the battlements.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Miss Jewel might have left a note.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Righty-ho, sir.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15That policeman is wrong.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Go on. - She wasn't sad about her baby.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Quite the contrary, in fact.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Unless she's a very good liar.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come!
0:14:38 > 0:14:39I take it this is about Ruby.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Mm.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- I wondered what state of mind she was in.- I see.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53She was a decent worker, if subdued.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Obviously grieving for her baby.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Oh. I see.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01It's such a shame she couldn't put her past behind her.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04There's no such thing.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Something she said yesterday.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- BELL RINGS - If you'll excuse me, Father?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Can you see yourself out? - Yes, of course.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- WHISTLING - Who's there?!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20What's done is done. Logan says...
0:16:20 > 0:16:21And you always do as Logan says!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24He seems to have more authority than me!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Well, do you have another plan?!
0:16:26 > 0:16:28We both know the alternative!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30If you're looking for Her Ladyship,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32she's out in the garden, having a walk.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Actually, I wanted to talk to you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38About Ruby Jewel.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39The suicide.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Well, cause of death hasn't been established yet.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Either way, I wouldn't know her from Adam.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Although it is strange that you knew her original name,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51whereas here she was only known as Smith.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57And if we were...acquainted?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02I'm a widower, and paying a young lady for her time isn't illegal.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Nor something you'd want bandied about
0:17:04 > 0:17:06on the occasion of your daughter's engagement.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh-ho! I get it!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- You think she was blackmailing me. - Was she?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16No, but I wouldn't put it past her if she was.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18She wasn't the kind of girl that could keep a secret.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Nor the sort who would take her own life.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I didn't push her, if that's what you're getting at.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Let me tell you something, one of the advantages of extreme wealth
0:17:27 > 0:17:32is the ability to buy people's silence without resorting to murder.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35On the subject of which...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38..how much do you want?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Call it a...donation.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Thank you, Mr Vanderlande...
0:17:45 > 0:17:47..but my silence is complimentary.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Help!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59You were warned not to go in there alone!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02The silly girl! She must have got lost!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I wasn't lost.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I followed a mathematical algorithm to the centre.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- There's a column depicting the Minotaur legend.- Spot-on.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13As I was making my way back, I heard whistling.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14WHISTLED TUNE
0:18:17 > 0:18:19SHE HYPERVENTILATES
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Someone's been listening to too many ghost stories.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I don't believe in ghosts.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Did you see this...someone?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Only a hand.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Well, maybe we should take a look. - Certainly not.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I will inform the police and they can conduct
0:18:36 > 0:18:39a wild ghost chase if they're so inclined.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I have served tea on the lawn.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Thank you, Logan.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50I am sure Miss Vanderlande would benefit from some refreshment.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11What is an algo-thing, when it's at home?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Er...mathematics.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Mazes without loops are known as simply connected, or perfect,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20and are equivalent to a tree in graph theory.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21I'm boring you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24No, on the contrary, I'm curious.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25You must show me sometime.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Sir!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36We found it on the roof, shoved inside a rain barrel.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Penelope Windermere.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Bring her in.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52We found this on the roof, shoved in a rain barrel.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Do you recognise it?- Is that blood?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'll ask the questions, if you don't mind.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It was mine, but I gave it to Ruby.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01How much would an item like this cost?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It's frightfully vulgar to talk about money.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Humour me.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Around 60 guineas.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12It's quite an expensive gift to give to a maid.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Green is so last season.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18According to witness statements,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21you were the last person she spoke to yesterday night,
0:20:21 > 0:20:26and, coincidentally, the person who found her body this morning.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29And you maintain that you were in your room the entire night.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Yes.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I hope you don't think I pushed her?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37No, Miss Windermere,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40because she was already dead when she fell from the roof.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Bludgeoned over the head by a right-handed assailant
0:20:44 > 0:20:47approximately six inches taller.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50The victim was five foot six.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Can I ask how tall you are?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Five feet ten.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58And no doubt taller in heels.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Are you arresting me?!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Unfortunately, due to the lack of evidence, that's not possible.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06So I'm going to get this blood tested, and if it matches
0:21:06 > 0:21:09that of the victim, then I'm going to arrest you.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Perhaps you should search the labyrinth.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I beg your pardon?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Joan Vanderlande thought she saw someone in there.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Didn't Lady Malmort tell you?
0:21:17 > 0:21:18KNOCK AT DOOR
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Lady Felicia's here, sir, with Father Brown.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24And the Chief Constable wants you to call him.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31And this is the nursery.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Rather dusty, due to lack of use.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Bobby and Arthur.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40My brother.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Is he...?
0:21:45 > 0:21:46How old was he when he died?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49He... He was four.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I'm sorry.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54So am I.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56And this is Copenhagen.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Favourite steed of the Duke of Wellington.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Gosh, you really ARE a bluestocking.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Hm. Don't tell my father.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07He finds education in a woman highly unbecoming.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09My mother merely bemoans the lack of mine.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I think my father and your mother have far more in common
0:22:12 > 0:22:14than either of them would like to think.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16At least we know the score.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Apropos, there's something I'd like to say.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31An heir and a spare and you can do your own thing.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33If you get my drift?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Thank you.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Right, well, um...shall we see the rest of the house?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I think you're supposed to put it on, or something.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I can tell by looking it doesn't fit.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Right. Well...you...you can take it to a jeweller, I expect.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Murdered?! Oh, the poor child!
0:23:01 > 0:23:04She never struck one as the suicidal type.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Yet Mr Logan was keen to give the opposite impression.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11So, a blow to the head?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14By a right-handed assailant approximately six inches taller.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Or higher.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18If she was killed on stairs.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Excellent point, milady.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Well, that means it could have been anyone.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Well, who would want to murder Ruby?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Perhaps she wasn't the intended victim.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32If she was wearing my stole, then maybe the killer mistook her for me.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Oh, and who on earth would want to murder you?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Why did you give Ruby your stole?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40The real answer.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Oh, all right.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47I asked her deliver a message to Bobby, asking him to meet me.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Your niece is absolutely shameless!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Which is why I didn't tell that to Inspector Mallory.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54People were bound to get the wrong end of the stick.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55And the right end of the stick?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Bobby's an old friend, and his absolute witch of a mother
0:23:58 > 0:24:01made sure that we didn't have one minute alone all night.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03So I suggested a chinwag at the summerhouse.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05But, of course, he didn't show.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Congratulations, Bunty, I'm away one day and you get arrested for murder!- Oh!
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I wonder if the police have searched the labyrinth?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Well, that's exactly what I asked Inspector Mallory,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18but he had no clue what I was talking about.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Oh. Hello.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- You're back.- Only to get my things.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- I hear a congratulations are in order.- Thank you.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Oh, gosh, that is a knuckleduster!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Why aren't you wearing it?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41It doesn't fit. I think that much is obvious to everyone.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Well, it can be altered.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Or...
0:24:49 > 0:24:53..until then, you could tie a thread around it. May I?
0:24:54 > 0:24:59You know, if you dig away, Bobby really is quite a good egg.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Not to mention devilishly handsome.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07What I'm trying to say is, you could do worse.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12All considered, he is very lucky to have you.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16That should do, until you can get it altered.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Going somewhere?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36London. Flying visit.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37But you've only just got back.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I know, but something came up.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Something, or someone?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I know what you're thinking, but you couldn't be further from the truth.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Well, then, why all this secrecy?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Believe me, if I could tell you, I would.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Oh, yes, of course you would(!)
0:25:50 > 0:25:54If I wasn't a nosy old gossip with ideas above her station.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Well, I'll wish Your Ladyship a pleasant journey.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Mrs McCarthy!
0:25:59 > 0:26:01TRAIN WHISTLE
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Father?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Ariadne's thread.- Whose?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26How apt.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Lover of Theseus.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33She gave him a ball of red twine
0:26:33 > 0:26:37so that he could find his way out of the Minotaur's Labyrinth.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Stay here.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Oh, Lord, please, not now.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Need a light?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Yes.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I thought I told you to stay put.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Didn't my aunt tell you? I never do as I'm told.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13He's no oil painting.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15The offspring of a Cretan queen
0:27:15 > 0:27:18and a magnificent bull.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21King Minos built a labyrinth to contain him.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31That's Bobby's lucky mascot. He never goes anywhere without it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Close, but no cigar.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38More to the point...what's it doing here?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Where does it go?- Up.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Is that a blood stain?
0:28:17 > 0:28:18I fear so.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23So...do we run, or overpower him?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Neither.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36My name is Father Brown.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41And you, I assume, are Arthur.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46I believe I have something of yours.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Who's he?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59The 1st Duke of Wellington.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01No, I mean, who is HE?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06He's my brother.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Lab results, sir. The blood type matches that of the victim.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15There's something else.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19"Meet me in the summerhouse, one o'clock. Bunty."
0:29:19 > 0:29:23I think the time has come to arrest Miss Windermere.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29He was the loveliest child.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Sunny and good-natured.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37It wasn't until he was three that we noticed he was...different.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41That while his body grew, his brain had somehow stalled.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43He was a mental defective, we were told,
0:29:43 > 0:29:47and the only option was a discreet institution.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48I visited several of them,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51but I found that the children there were...
0:29:51 > 0:29:55They were not like Arthur, who was sweet and loving.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02They appeared to be...joyless and empty.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07So...you declared him dead.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09We had Bobby to think about.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Any stain of mental illness would have ruined his prospects.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15As it transpires, I managed that all by myself.
0:30:15 > 0:30:21We engaged Logan in his capacity as a mental-deficiency nurse.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25And the labyrinth for his exercise yard.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Arthur loves it! He knows it like the back of his hand!
0:30:28 > 0:30:30The servants don't go near it,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33so he can wander there to his heart's content!
0:30:33 > 0:30:36You rejected one institution only to replace it with another.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I wouldn't expect YOU to understand.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43The difference is, here, he is loved.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Yes. Surrounded by his favourite things,
0:30:46 > 0:30:50and the people who keep him safe.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- Ruby wasn't safe. - It was an accident!
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Arthur cries if he hurts a fly.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I think...
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Logan should explain.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Arthur gets overexcited when Bobby's at home.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11He couldn't sleep, so I left his room to fetch a sleeping draught
0:31:11 > 0:31:14and returned to find the door unlocked.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17I can only assume she burst in
0:31:17 > 0:31:20and scared him and he lashed out.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22And then?
0:31:22 > 0:31:23I'm ashamed to say, I panicked.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Threw the body off the roof to make it look like suicide.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31You knew of this?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Only after the event.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36But I don't blame Logan.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40He did it out of loyalty.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42The scandal would be ruinous.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45They'd lock Arthur up with the criminally insane.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47We no longer have a choice.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Ahem!
0:31:49 > 0:31:51That's it, it's over.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57Now, if you will excuse me, I would like to telephone the police myself.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20I'd rather they hanged him.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22At least it would be quick.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Um...may I?
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Excuse me.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Ah!
0:32:43 > 0:32:45It puts pay to my arranged marriage.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Just as I was starting to like the girl.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Hello again, Arthur.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Now, I was wondering...
0:33:06 > 0:33:08..if you like sherbet lemons?
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Ah, yes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Tea-time!
0:33:27 > 0:33:29You shouldn't be here.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32I wanted to ask Arthur what had happened.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34You can't ask him questions.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36He's got the mental age of an infant.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Then he doesn't have the wherewithal to lie.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Did a girl come in here?
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Were you frightened?
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Did you hit her?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54You can't give credence to anything he says.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57When I chanced into this room,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Arthur hid himself behind the curtains.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03When Ruby did the same, we're expected to believe that Arthur
0:34:03 > 0:34:06took a poker and brutally clubbed her to death.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Steady on, mate, I'm not going to hurt you.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11And I think she discovered Arthur's existence
0:34:11 > 0:34:14and threatened to tell.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19You...should not be up here.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20What's the story with him?
0:34:20 > 0:34:21None of your business.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24You know, I thought this place was weird, but a lunatic in the attic?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Go!
0:34:26 > 0:34:28All right, I'm going.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Oh!
0:34:36 > 0:34:39That's hardly a motive for murder.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43No. But money is.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Lady Malmort pays you handsomely for your...discretion.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49So handsomely that you can afford
0:34:49 > 0:34:52to retain the services of a stockbroker.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57If Arthur's existence was revealed, all that would end.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59You think anyone would question my account
0:34:59 > 0:35:01over that of a mental defective?
0:35:04 > 0:35:05No.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Which is why you need to tell the truth, and save your soul.
0:35:11 > 0:35:16Lest this poor innocent is condemned to a living hell.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Lend credence to this fairy tale when there's no proof?
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Well, the proof is right before us.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Would you care for another one?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Arthur's left-handed.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Ruby was killed by a right-handed blow to the skull.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40A fact of which the police are well aware.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Bunty! Logan, he's our man! Stop him!
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Let's see if we can find Miss Windermere.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23I don't think that'll be necessary, sir.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Miss Windermere, I'd like you to stop!
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Stop, Miss...!
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Are you all right, sir? - Take a wild guess!
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Shall I get some help, sir?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38No, I want you to get after her!
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Can't you go any faster?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Hang on to your hat, sir.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23BRAKES SCREECH
0:37:23 > 0:37:25This is all we need!
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Go around him! Beat him! - HORN BLASTS
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Get out of the way! Cut across the grass.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Idiot!
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Oh, come on! The jig is up, you might as well hand yourself in!
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Ah! Excellent timing, Inspector. This is your murderer.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58You do the honours while I arrest Miss Windermere.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- What have I done?!- Let's start with obstructing an officer
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- in the execution of his duty... - Right, sir, out you get.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06..exceeding the statutory speed limit on a public road,
0:38:06 > 0:38:11dangerous driving, not to mention your culpable and reckless conduct.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Out you get, come on.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25The police said you were free to leave.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28I imagine you would want to do that immediately.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Sounds like you've a right scandal on your hands.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36I realise this renders any engagement null and void.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40800 years of history.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44There's bound to be the odd skeleton in the closet.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Of course, he'll have to go.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50There are plenty of places for the likes of him,
0:38:50 > 0:38:54but apart from that, I see no reason why the marriage can't go ahead.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Isn't that rather up to your daughter?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58She'll do as she's told.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05I believe...you may be underestimating her, sir.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Come on! What are you thinking?!
0:39:13 > 0:39:15That I would like to meet him.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22I've brought someone to see you.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Er...this is Joan.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26She... She's a friend.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Like Logan?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Yes.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Do you like horses?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Do you like horses?
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Well, I'm scared of real ones, but I like toy horses.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49And I think his name is Copenhagen.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52And this grey one is called Marengo.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55I warn you, Art, she's a bit of a clever clogs.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Oh, th...those are spectacles.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02He's never seen anyone that wears them.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05His life is confined in here?
0:40:06 > 0:40:07He's happy.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Would you like to look?
0:40:16 > 0:40:20My eyes don't work, and these help me see.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Although if you wear them, I imagine things will look very blurry.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28ARTHUR CHUCKLES
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Can Joan stay?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Um...
0:40:36 > 0:40:38I-I hope so.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43Arthur will stay, too.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Would you like to live with me and Bobby?
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Downstairs?
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Yes, downstairs.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I think we'd all get on famously.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12The good news is your father has managed to get the charges dropped
0:41:12 > 0:41:14on the grounds you were aiding a police officer.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16The bad news is, er...
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Well, it's you, I'm afraid.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Well, this isn't what happened at all!
0:41:22 > 0:41:23Is Daddy livid?
0:41:23 > 0:41:25It was the final straw, I'm afraid.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Your allowance has been cut off.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30And it's been decided you should stay here for a few months,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33where there's less opportunity of you finding trouble.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36What, in Kembleford?! I think I'd rather be in prison.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39This is serious! It's the last straw, Bunty.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44One more false move and you'll be disinherited.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Besides, I need someone to look after things while I'm gone.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Gone? Where are you going?
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Monty has been appointed Northern Governor in Rhodesia.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03It was all terribly hush-hush and protocol,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- which is why I couldn't say anything.- Rhodesia?
0:42:06 > 0:42:11I need someone to look after Bunty while I'm away.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Keep her out of trouble.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Rhodesia in...Africa?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20What a marvellous opportunity.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Isn't it thrilling?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Finally, a chance to escape the mundane.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29Yes. Well, I suppose it's not like there's anything to keep you here.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32You will be sorely missed.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34KETTLE WHISTLES
0:42:42 > 0:42:44FLIRTATIOUS CHATTER
0:43:02 > 0:43:04That girl's going to be trouble.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06I'm not worried.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Because she's in the hands of someone who's wise and compassionate
0:43:10 > 0:43:13and...of the highest moral integrity.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19A dear friend, who I would trust with my life.
0:43:19 > 0:43:24And who I will miss more than...they will ever know.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Well, I'm sure the Father would be very glad to hear that.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34I'm not talking about Father Brown.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42And I'm going to miss you, too.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47- Goodbye, Father. - TRAIN WHISTLE
