0:00:23 > 0:00:26If you're expecting a tip, you can think again!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28And bring those into the house will you?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31First left off the landing!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I paid you to move it, not break it!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Ugh, imbeciles.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49God!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Argh! - GLASS SHATTERS
0:01:34 > 0:01:36CAR HORN
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Silly girl!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Sorry, just testing my horn.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Thanks, Bunty.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Lulu And Lucia... Rings a bell.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53From what I hear it's nothing but filth.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55It's frightfully saucy. You should give it a read.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56No, thank you very much.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It's filled with disreputable characters.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01My absolute fave is Lulu...
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Lucia's secret lover.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Now that's more than I need to know.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Oh, maybe you'd probably prefer Cardinal Vogel the handsome gigolo.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Oh!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Oh, I'm going to try and get it signed now the author's local.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Local?- Just moved into the area.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Finally someone in Kembleford with a little bit of spunk.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18But have you not heard?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Lucia Morell was attacked -
0:02:20 > 0:02:22blinded in one eye.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Really?!- Uh-huh.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Lucia...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Am I really that ugly?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Don't go anywhere near her.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43I'll do as I please
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and you won't stop me!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49It's just like one of her novels -
0:02:49 > 0:02:51intrigue and mystery attackers...
0:02:51 > 0:02:53This is not some made-up story.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55A woman has been maimed.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Quite.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I wonder what the attacker was after?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Perhaps they were trying to bump her off?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Oh, now you're just getting carried away.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Lucia said in her interview she was going to reveal
0:03:07 > 0:03:09who Lulu was based upon in her next novel.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Mmm. You think someone was trying to protect the real Lulu's identity?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21According to this, Lulu could be any one of 20 women.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29How do I look?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Fine.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34No offence, but don't you think she's just a little...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36What, out of my league?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Undoubtedly.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40But...
0:03:40 > 0:03:42here goes nothing.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Oh, damn!
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Anything?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Hm?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10HE SIGHS
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Are you all right, Father?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14You look a little...
0:04:14 > 0:04:15constipated.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I beg your pardon?!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I meant mentally.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21It's staring me in the face, I know it is...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Lulu. Lu...lu?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26You'll never get it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Number 14.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Ursula Lansford?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Lady Ursula Lansford of Uxbridge...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44L-U-L-U.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Lulu... - Father, you're a genius...
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Lady Ursula is a respected charity worker
0:04:49 > 0:04:53who takes in young women just out of prison.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Well, I intend to pay a social call on Miss Morell
0:04:56 > 0:04:57to get my book signed.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59You should come along, Father.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Father has his homily to write.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Isn't that right, Father?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Yes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Of all people.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Accusing Lady Ursula!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Ursula.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Darling!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21You look stunning...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23as ever.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26But the glasses...
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Migraine.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Oh, poor you...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Don't!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I told you a long time ago not to contact me.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Mmm.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41But I need your help.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Not this time.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49You helped me after the fire.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Why not again?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I've changed.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Oh... SHE CHUCKLES
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Morning, Mother. Shall I make some tea for you and your guest?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Not now, James. I'm busy with...
0:06:05 > 0:06:06..with my work.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Always are.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Brimming over with maternal instinct, I see.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Should have taken my advice.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Gotten rid.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23He means everything to me.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28There was a time when I was all you needed.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Do you ever think about what we had?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37The nights we spent together, our bodies aching,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39dripping with sweat...
0:06:41 > 0:06:46..but it wasn't just physical, was it?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Just say your piece and go!
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Very well.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04The thing is...
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I can't get a publishing deal for my next novel.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14Apparently my kind of "erotica" is old hat...
0:07:14 > 0:07:15You want money?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19I've had to move into some hovel on the edge of the village.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It just isn't me, darling.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- My finances are tied up in this place.- Then sell it!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26This is not just my home.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30It's a place where ex-offenders can live and start again.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31How very selfless.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35My aim is to open up the entire house so that others can stay.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Oh, you're really starting to bore me now, darling.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42You either sell this place and give me half the profits
0:07:42 > 0:07:46or I'll reveal to the press
0:07:46 > 0:07:50that my fictional lover was based on you.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I don't care what my peers think any more.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Does your son know about your past?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03If you go anywhere near him, I'll...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05You'll what?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'm warning you.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11You of all people
0:08:11 > 0:08:13know what I'm capable of.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Apologies for not having introduced myself earlier.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Lucia Morell...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36James...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38That's... Oh...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yeah, I met you briefly, years ago.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Yes, yes I'm an old friend of your mother's.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Now please would you be an absolute darling
0:08:48 > 0:08:50and drive me home?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I don't live very far.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Um, right.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Um, of course...
0:08:55 > 0:08:56SHE GIGGLES
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05You know...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09You have your mother's eyes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Oh, I-I really should be going.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40James...
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Um, now I don't wish to be rude,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47but you strike me as someone not entirely very successful
0:09:47 > 0:09:49with the ladies. Am I right?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well, I...
0:09:51 > 0:09:55And one might even endeavour to say that, um...
0:09:56 > 0:09:59..that you're still a novice.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Am I right?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Oh, my poor darling.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09And the problem will only get worse.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14You see, women can smell desperation on a man.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16And you, my poor love...
0:10:16 > 0:10:20you positively reek of it.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Now, what you need is a woman of the world to teach you,
0:10:25 > 0:10:30so that you'll have the confidence to charm any girl you want...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Hm?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33So...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Would you like a lesson, James?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Hm?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I am very sorry,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50but I simply cannot let that woman's daughter join the choir.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53But she's got such a beautiful voice, and she's really very keen.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Well, beautiful voice, or not,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57until she is willing to lower the hem of her skirt and...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Spot of brunch and then off to Lucia Morell's house.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Care to join me?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I'm all for young people joining the choir,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14but we do have our standards to keep up.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Isn't that right, Father?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Sorry, it must have been nerves.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28I could comfort you with cliches about how it doesn't matter
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and how it happens to all men.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33But I'm sorry, my love...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35it's just not true.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38No wonder you're still a virgin.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41You were absolutely pathetic...
0:11:41 > 0:11:47- Please...- I've had hundreds of men, and never one SO inadequate.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50You're like a little boy, really, aren't you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- No...- Did Ursula not give you the attention you needed?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Too busy with her charity work to notice her own son.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Is that why you took comfort in eating?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06You will never satisfy a woman.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You've got to face facts.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12You're just a big, fat baby
0:12:12 > 0:12:15who can't rise to the occasion!
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Shut up!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18HE SOBS
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Put your clothes on and go home!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35After all she's done for us.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Lady Ursula doesn't deserve this.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40If that one-eyed crow gets her way, we'll all end up on the street.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Yeah.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43We should pay her a visit.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47One moment.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Sir.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Lucia Morell wants to know when you're going to interview her
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- about the attack, now she's out of hospital.- Give it here.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Inspector Mallory speaking.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yes, I'll try and call later.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04I-I beg your pardon?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Interview you in your negligee?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Inspector, when I'm at home
0:13:14 > 0:13:19I like to conduct my affairs from the comfort of my four-poster bed.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22SHE CHUCKLES
0:13:22 > 0:13:25So you'll have to take me as you find me...
0:13:25 > 0:13:26DOOR OPENS
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Oh, one moment...
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Hello?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Sorry about that, Inspector...
0:13:36 > 0:13:38SHE SCREAMS
0:13:44 > 0:13:46'Miss Morell...'
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Miss Morell?!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Rather run-down for a famous novelist.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Well, her old house was rather magnificent
0:14:09 > 0:14:11until it burned to the ground,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14and her latest place in Evesham was repossessed.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I'm afraid you can't come any further.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Murder scene...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Not Lucia Morell?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28So the intruder was trying to kill her...
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Was anything taken?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Look, I shouldn't really say, but...yes,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37something WAS taken after the murder.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54That's why they took the hand.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56In her novel, Lucia had Runic symbols on her wrist
0:14:56 > 0:14:58revealing Lulu's identity.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02And so perhaps the real life Lucia had the same tattoo.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04With Lady Ursula's name on.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06She must be involved in some way.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Found a bunch of abusive letters, sir. All ready to be posted...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- To who?- Well anyone and everyone.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16She had a warped passion for upsetting people.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18If you'd read her work then you'd already know that.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20She doesn't mean anything by it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I see the old gout's back.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Cut the pleasantries, padre -
0:15:26 > 0:15:28and keep your snout out of my business!
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Charmant!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Father, we should pay a visit to Lady Ursula
0:15:36 > 0:15:39and pretend to be interested in her charity, or something.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43So you can subtly introduce into the conversation the death of Lucia?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Exactly, and observe her reaction.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Or, we can tell the Inspector what we know.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51You're joking.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53That horrid little man will only try and stop us.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Not quite right.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Mm, you're right.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Something smells good.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Do you work here? We're looking for Lady Ursula...
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Friar Victor Novak, I'm the gamekeeper
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Father Brown.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24What order do you belong to?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27None. Got thrown out.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29There was no answer when we knocked.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Oh, go straight in. She'll be round the back.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Resting.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Wait!
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Need a second opinion.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Oh, no, it's quite all right, we've already eaten...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Please, just a spoonful.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I think I've forgotten something.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Mmm...
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- It's actually not bad.- Oh, more?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- I really shouldn't.- I insist.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Mmm...mm.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Mm!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58What's in it?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Rabbit, mainly.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Also squirrel,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05and the odd vole for flavour.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Is that a claw?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Rodents!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We should have gone through with it.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14A smack in the old witch's mouth and we'd have been sorted.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17What, and risk going back inside, is that what you want?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Are you all right, Mildred?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Gut rot...
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I told you not to taste his stew!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Can I help?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30We're visiting Lady Ursula
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I say are you one of the ex-cons?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Bunty Windermere.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37And this is Father Brown...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Scarlet. Finch.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Gosh, I have always wondered what it must be like to be banged up.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Thieves, murderers, molesters - all thrown together.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46What's your vice?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Bunty...
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Sorry.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52This way.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Posh cow.
0:18:22 > 0:18:28So, your Aunt Felicia is interested in investing in my charity.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Well, she'd certainly like to know more about it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38But I totally understand if you feel our visit isn't convenient.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Why do you say that?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Oh...you haven't heard.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49The novelist, Lucia Morell...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52She's been murdered.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53What?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I'm sorry.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I-I...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I only saw her this morning...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04It must be a terrible shock.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06You were obviously very close...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Close?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Well, it was suggested that you were once very good friends.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15That woman meant nothing to me!
0:19:16 > 0:19:18If you say so.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Now...
0:19:20 > 0:19:23if you'll excuse me,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I need my tablets...
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Well, I think the Lady doth protest too much.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- STOMACH GURGLES - Oh...
0:19:45 > 0:19:47What is it?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I'm just tired of people walking all over me.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Even my own mother does it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It's just her...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06her way.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Well, I'm not going to let people treat me like dirt any more.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14What happened?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Nosebleed.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20When I drove Lucia home.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23What brought that on?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24I don't know!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I'm so sorry. You must think me awfully rude.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It is I who should apologise.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I've explained you had some of the friar's soup.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45You can't possibly brave the journey home like that.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Would it help if you had a little lie down?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well...yes. Thank you.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54The drawing room on your right. It's got a comfortable couch.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55You're so kind.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06SHE PANTS
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Father! Father Brown!
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- INSPECTOR MALLORY: - Nobody is to leave the grounds.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Cause of death is still unclear, sir, but it looks like poison.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Well, at least none of her body parts have gone AWOL.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30You think the murders are connected?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33It's highly likely. Lucia Morell was here this morning.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35And how do you know that?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Don't tell me - the Holy Ghost told you.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Actually it was Lady Ursula.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I need to interview Miss Windermere. Where's she got to?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Poor thing. How are you feeling now?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Well, rodents for lunch and then discovering a corpse -
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I've had better days.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Oh!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Right, listen up.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I want to start with Lucia Morell's death
0:22:10 > 0:22:12seeing that she was the first to croak...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Die. Pass on.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Did anyone see her after she left here?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24I drove her home.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27And then?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I left straight away
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and went to the White Hart.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- You can ask the landlord... - And when you dropped her off,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39did you see anyone else in the area?
0:22:42 > 0:22:48- Spit it out, lad!- He saw me and Mildred on the road to Lucia's.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50We were going to scare her,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53try and make her stop blackmailing Lady Ursula.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Blackmail?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Lucia was going to reveal that the character of Lulu was based on her -
0:22:58 > 0:23:01but we only got as far as the gates.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I persuaded Mildred not to go through with it...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05in case we ended up back inside.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Ah...
0:23:07 > 0:23:11A couple of ex-cons. Now we're getting somewhere.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12It doesn't make them murderers.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15You know what I think?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Things got out of hand
0:23:17 > 0:23:20and, instead of scaring her, you killed her.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21- No.- You're lying.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I saw them turn round and leave.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30And where were you?
0:23:30 > 0:23:31I was, er...
0:23:31 > 0:23:34er...
0:23:34 > 0:23:35cutting across the fields.
0:23:35 > 0:23:41I was going to plead with Lucia to leave Lady Ursula alone.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Is this some kind of ruddy joke?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I've never seen a case with so many suspects.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Knocked on the door but there was no answer.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51So...
0:23:53 > 0:23:54..so I went away.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Right. I want written statements from all of you.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01We'll start with you.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Follow me.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15If you ever need to talk...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Thank you. But we weren't close friends.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20We just watched each other's backs inside.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26I hear you're a bit of an amateur sleuth, Father.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27I dabble.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Well, I hope you find the killer before that copper fits me up.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I've met his type before.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Mm.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I'm not sure they're your size.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Routine search.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Oh, not again.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Ooh!
0:24:53 > 0:24:54RETCHING
0:24:54 > 0:24:56FLUSH
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Sergeant!
0:25:00 > 0:25:01- What's happened?- Look!
0:25:15 > 0:25:16SHE GASPS
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Why would someone do that?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Are you all right?
0:25:41 > 0:25:42I think so.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- It'll help settle your tummy. - Oh, thank you.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Is that what you said to Mildred...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50before you poisoned her?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Sorry?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Where were you at 11:20 today?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I spent most of the morning alone in my bedroom.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I had a migraine.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02So, no alibi.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Lucia's hand was found in your cistern...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08in your private bathroom
0:26:08 > 0:26:11and, since she was blackmailing you,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15you have, by far, the strongest motive.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16You're not serious!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Lady Ursula, I'm arresting you on suspicion...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I killed Lucia!
0:26:24 > 0:26:25You?
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I lied. I climbed in through a window and...
0:26:29 > 0:26:31..and...
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I had to protect Lady Ursula's reputation.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36By cutting Lucia's hand off?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40The tattoo spelled out Ursula's name.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46But why then put the hand in her bathroom?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I...
0:26:48 > 0:26:52hid it in a bag...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55put it in with the birds...
0:26:55 > 0:26:58but someone stole it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Let's try again.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Friar Novak, I'm arresting you
0:27:03 > 0:27:06on suspicion of the murder of Lucia Morell.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15This way, sir.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24So who killed Mildred?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Friar Fruitcake.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30So you think he poisoned her because she took Lucia's hand and...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Back off, padre.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35In case you've forgotten, I'm the detective round here.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37So sling your cassock.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45So this Lulu character is based on you?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48It was a long time ago. I don't want to talk about it.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01I'm sorry, Father. It's all rather too much.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I never had Father Novak down as a killer.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Well...
0:28:07 > 0:28:11he was always willing to stand up for my honour.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14He thought I regretted my affair with Lucia.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18But you didn't?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I ended it because of her sadism.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23She genuinely...
0:28:23 > 0:28:25hated people.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I know I should have run a mile from her, but...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33..she was so...
0:28:33 > 0:28:34alluring back then.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36So...
0:28:36 > 0:28:37dangerous.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41You were in love.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43No.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45It was much stronger than love, Father.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50There was a time when...
0:28:50 > 0:28:52when...
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I would have died for her.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00KEY TURNS IN LOCK
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I won't ask if you slept well.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I don't need spiritual guidance, Father.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Then I won't give you any.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20One thing troubles me.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23If you took the hand to protect Lady Ursula,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26why didn't you destroy it? Burn it?
0:29:26 > 0:29:30I didn't have time. Now, please, just leave me alone.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Odd that you confessed
0:29:31 > 0:29:34only when they were about to arrest Lady Ursula.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39What hold does she have over you?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Don't speak of her in that way!
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Ah...
0:29:44 > 0:29:45Love.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52It's far more complicated than just two people...
0:29:52 > 0:29:53loving each other.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Mrs McCarthy, I need your help.
0:30:07 > 0:30:14Several of the clues so far have come from the novel Lulu and Lucia.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Lulu's identity, the hand.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18So, Bunty's had an idea...
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I thought if we all read separate chapters
0:30:22 > 0:30:25then perhaps more clues will pop up.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Oh, I should have thought you'd know every sordid detail by now.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Well, you can't expect me to remember all of them.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Chapter six, Mrs M.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Father, is this really necessary?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Well, if it helps to prevent more murders...
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Well, I suppose.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49'Lucia had the power to turn any male sophisticate,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52'any male intellectual into a savage beast.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56'There had never been brotherly rivalry between them, until now.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00'With bloodlust running through their veins,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03'they would fight to the death. And the prize?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05'A night with Lucia.'
0:31:05 > 0:31:08'Cardinal Vogel had been humiliated for the last time.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11'With fantasies of Lucia's murder
0:31:11 > 0:31:15'consuming his every thought, he burnt the palace to the ground.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20'The side-splitting laughter of those inside
0:31:20 > 0:31:23'now replaced by skin-blistering screams!'
0:31:23 > 0:31:25SCREAMING
0:31:25 > 0:31:29'Lucia danced all night with the Grand Duke of Luxembourg,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33'his viper eyes slithering over her every curve...
0:31:35 > 0:31:38'..into every crevice of her body.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41'He had a desire to own
0:31:41 > 0:31:45'and, indeed, to soil all beauty.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48'He had to have Lucia.'
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Well...I think I need some air.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Or a cold shower, more like!
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Penelope...
0:32:03 > 0:32:04James!
0:32:04 > 0:32:07The sooner I'm away from here, the better.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10What's brought this on?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I found that novel at the bookshop.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15James, please.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17The things you and Lucia did.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20How could you hurt so many people?
0:32:20 > 0:32:23She...had a hold on me.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25You know, I wish my father was alive.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28At least then I'd have one parent I wasn't ashamed of.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30You disgust me!
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Oh, don't say that.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34If I were you I'd get away from her.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35She's not like that any more.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Why don't you come with me?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40James, I've told you I'm not interested!
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Well, don't say I didn't warn you.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44You are a monster.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46But...where will you go?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50What do you care? You never have before.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51James!
0:32:56 > 0:32:57James!
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Of all the named characters,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Cardinal Vogel has the strongest motive for harming Lucia.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Whenever he pops up, Lucia humiliates him.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15He's the only real candidate for the killer other than Lulu.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Hm.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Why make him a gigolo?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Gigolo... another word for prostitute.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- So the character could be based on a woman?- It's possible.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31If Lulu was a pseudonym for Lady Ursula,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33what does Cardinal Vogel mean?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36A cardinal is also a bird.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Vogel - German for bird.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Friar Novak and his birds!
0:33:41 > 0:33:43So he really is the killer.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Not so sure.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Cardinal red is also a vivid colour.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Red bird.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57That's it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02SHE SIGHS
0:34:02 > 0:34:05I should have tried to make him understand.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09No. He just doesn't know how charitable you really are.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14You can't imagine how glad I am you let me stay.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Well, Mildred said you looked out for her in prison.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I only befriended her when I found out she was staying here.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23It was a way in.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25A way in?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Well, if it wasn't for you,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32I'd have never gone to prison in the first place.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Who are you?
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Exactly who I said I am.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Scarlet Finch.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44But Lucia used to call me...
0:34:44 > 0:34:46her little red bird.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54You...
0:34:54 > 0:34:56No...
0:34:56 > 0:34:57No!
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Now, you can either die the same way as Lucia...
0:35:05 > 0:35:09or be poisoned like Mildred.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Your choice...
0:35:12 > 0:35:17- Stop!- Stay back. - Scarlet, don't do this.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19You don't understand.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21I know that Cardinal Vogel is based on you.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24She paid me to be her plaything.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27In the novel, he sets fire to the palace.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I didn't burn down Lucia's mansion!
0:35:30 > 0:35:32But they blamed you.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34They shouldn't have sent you to prison.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Lucia started the fire while she was drunk...
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- then framed me.- Three people died.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Ten years, I got. Lucia ruined my life.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44So then you came back here with Mildred
0:35:44 > 0:35:47and then you went alone to Lucia's place...
0:35:48 > 0:35:52..and you killed her and cut off her hand.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57But why threaten Lady Ursula?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I gave Lucia a false alibi.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02It put her in the clear!
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Everyone believed Lucia when she pointed the finger at me.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07I'm sorry.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11I've never stopped thinking about what I did to you.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13That's why I started the prisoner charity.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15To make you feel better?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19You could have come forward any time over the years.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Now swallow them.- Scarlet.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Get out of my way, Father.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24I can't do that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27She's a victim too.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32Lucia used you both.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34She could have said no.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36She had a choice.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37And so can you now.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I won't tell you again, Father.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Move.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Lucia turned you into a killer...
0:36:45 > 0:36:47..but that's not who you truly are.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52How many more are you going to kill?
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Bunty?
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Me?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Just because we know the truth?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Is that why you killed your friend?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Mildred?
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Let me explain.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09'I had to stop her from going to the police.'
0:37:09 > 0:37:13How easy has it become to take another person's life?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Try and remember the young girl you were
0:37:18 > 0:37:20before Lucia warped your mind,
0:37:20 > 0:37:21before you went to prison.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Where is that girl?
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Where is that goodness?
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Where's her faith?
0:37:37 > 0:37:38God will forgive you.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42God still loves you.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48SCARLET SOBS GENTLY
0:38:05 > 0:38:06I won't be long.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Lady Ursula...
0:38:11 > 0:38:14What have I done?
0:38:14 > 0:38:18No. You weren't to know any of this would happen.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- I thought I could live with my past. - ENGINE STARTS
0:38:21 > 0:38:24What a fool.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26You're a different person now.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Am I?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Or am I just deluding myself.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Oh... - Everyone is worthy of forgiveness.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45I'm not religious, Father, but...
0:38:45 > 0:38:48I know God cast Satan into Hell
0:38:48 > 0:38:51because there was no redemption for him.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54It's the same for me.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Do you honestly believe that?
0:38:59 > 0:39:00I can't hide it any more.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06I got immense pleasure from hurting people,
0:39:06 > 0:39:08wrecking their lives.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Lucia...
0:39:11 > 0:39:13tapped into something and...
0:39:15 > 0:39:17..I couldn't resist.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18And now?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Not a day passes when I don't feel
0:39:22 > 0:39:26the conflict of good and bad inside me.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Mm.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Then unburden yourself.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Tell the police everything.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39You'll have to do that for me, Father.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41Why?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Told you.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Can't live with it any longer.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Poison?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56I knew...
0:39:56 > 0:39:58one day...
0:39:58 > 0:39:59it would become...
0:40:00 > 0:40:02..unbearable.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07This day...
0:40:10 > 0:40:11I need help here!
0:40:27 > 0:40:28THUNDER RUMBLES
0:40:40 > 0:40:42James.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Father.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Just waiting for the friar. They're releasing him.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Good.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51And how are you?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I still can't believe she could do such a thing.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Then again, she never confided in me.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Cared more about helping others.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Her charity work was her way of making amends.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07But she did care about you.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12I've never understood why you've always defended her.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Now she's gone, perhaps you should tell him.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29I left the order because...
0:41:29 > 0:41:32because I fathered a child. A boy.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40I thought my father died in the war.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Your mother insisted on keeping it a secret.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46She wouldn't let me live in the house.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47But...
0:41:47 > 0:41:48I wanted to stay close.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Don't.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53James...
0:41:55 > 0:41:57It will take time.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02James...
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Yet another secret of my mother's.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09She was only thinking about you.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Deep down, she was a good person.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16How can you say that after all the horrible things she did?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Lucia was very controlling.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21She...
0:42:22 > 0:42:25She was a vile, poisonous individual
0:42:25 > 0:42:28and the world is better off without her.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Well, it was all in there.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36I'm surprised we didn't work it out earlier.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Now that it's over,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40can we throw that filth away?
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Mrs McCarthy...!
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Well...
0:42:46 > 0:42:49I have no idea how that got there.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Unless it was you!
0:42:51 > 0:42:54A lady would never do such a thing.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55Exactly!
0:42:58 > 0:43:02She's probably got a copy stuffed under her mattress.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03Toodle-pip!
