0:00:22 > 0:00:24I was just...
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Even in our most private moments, someone is watching us.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Shall we join the others?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52That's lovely, ladies.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56One more for luck. This is for the front page, after all.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57CAMERA CLICKS
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I can't thank you enough.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04With this money, the mobile library service will be able to
0:01:04 > 0:01:07deliver a free book to every child in the district.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11But the real praise should go to our generous congregation,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14who have baked and baked and sold enough cakes
0:01:14 > 0:01:16to feed Kembleford ten times over!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Do you mind?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31What did I say about upsetting the clients?
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Sorry, Mr Cartwright.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Get the kit in the car and stop making a nuisance of yourself!
0:01:44 > 0:01:45My apologies, madam.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48How's about I do you a discount on one of our portrait packages
0:01:48 > 0:01:51by way of compensation?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I can see you'd be a natural in front of the camera.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Not if you were the last photographer on earth.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09SHE CHUCKLES
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Father Brown, just a word?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I promised to help with the refreshments.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh, it will only take a minute.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Em, I was looking at our lending log, and...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Well, yes, when I think about it, I...
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- I may have one or two overdue items. - One or two?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Little did I know I've spent all this time working alongside
0:02:48 > 0:02:50the Great Kembleford Book Thief!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I've been meaning to take them back for weeks.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Huh, codswallop! You are a hoarder, that's what you are.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I only hope you have enough money in your pocket
0:03:00 > 0:03:02to cover all those fines.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I thought there might be a discount for the clergy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06WOMAN SCREAMS
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Quick! There's been a dreadful accident!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I only popped out to deliver the latest Graham Greene
0:03:17 > 0:03:19to Mr Entwhistle. And when I got back...
0:03:21 > 0:03:22She's dead, isn't she?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Thank you, Doctor. I'll telephone the surgery if we need you.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00You're welcome.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Well, Margaret, it seems you're very fortunate.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07SHE SIGHS
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- I don't know.- Come, come.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12No broken bones. And didn't the doctor say you'll be
0:04:12 > 0:04:15back on your feet in a couple of days?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Have you remembered anything?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Well... It's all a bit of a blur.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- Ada wasn't hurt, was she? - She wasn't there when it happened.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30It was Miss Rawlins who found you and then called for help.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I've always said that van's a deathtrap.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34It's not been serviced in years.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Graham, will you stop going on about it?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And it's just a... It's a silly accident, that's all.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44And you're not to worry about the mobile library.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Because I'm going to step into the breach until you're feeling better.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well, that won't be necessary,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51because I will be fine in a couple of...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55What you need is a good, long rest.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58And in any case, I've always thought I had the temperament
0:04:58 > 0:05:00to make rather a good librarian.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04It's true. She's often telling me to be quiet.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm the only one who can get the van started.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It's a very specific knack.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Well, you're going to have to teach me, then, aren't you?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Well, if you insist. But just for a couple of days.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Make sure she stays in that bed until she's properly recovered.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Ho-ho, you've clearly never tried telling my wife what to do!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Mr Cartwright?- Yes, Lewis!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- How's Mrs Cartwright? - Bruised, battered but unbowed.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Glad to hear it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I was wondering, is it all right if I use the darkroom after hours?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47As long as the studio work's finished.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48But tidy up after yourself this time,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50it was in a right state this morning.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- But I...- Lewis!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Sorry, Mr Cartwright. I'll leave it exactly as I find it.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Is he one of yours?- Lewis? Yes.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yes, he's been coming to St Mary's for years.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Well, if you find his brain in your lost property,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08do return it to its rightful owner.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17What a wonderful word.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22Cacoethes. "A sudden urge to do something inadvisable."
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Is there any chance you might get a "sudden urge" to give us a hand?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Why don't we stay closed until Mrs Cartwright's better?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32And leave the elderly and infirm without the comfort of a good book?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Over my dead body.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36And here we have our first customer!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Actually, I'm here to see Miss Rawlins.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I'm working, Lewis.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Later then? We need to talk. It's important.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Stop by the studio after work? - Maybe.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Mmm. Playing hard to get, eh? I approve.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59If you don't mind, it's private.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's been one week since my last confession.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14God is listening.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17It's... I-I've got this secret.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21And it's not just me, there are other people involved.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I don't know what to do, I'm so confused.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30The Seal of the Confessional is absolute.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You can be honest before God.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Why are you confused?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Well, when Adam first saw Eve, she was naked, right?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Yes.- So...was that a sin?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51For him to look at her, I mean.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55No. He looked upon her in innocence.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Because the thing is, a little while ago... - DOOR SLAMS
0:07:58 > 0:08:00FOOTSTEPS
0:08:00 > 0:08:01THEY CHATTER
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Sorry, I can't!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- All right there?- Oh, can I help you?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- I was looking for something on butterflies.- Butterflies?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Yeah, butterflies.- Ah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Can you be any more specific?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Well, I'm quite fond of the more exotic species.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Ah, I meant are you looking for a reference book or..?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Oh, ah - I almost forgot.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14HE CHUCKLES
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I don't understand.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Can I help with anything?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Eh, I was just paying my overdue fees.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26He's looking for something on butterflies.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- I'll come back another time. - Oh, no, it's no trouble.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31No, I just remembered somewhere I have to be.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34You probably don't remember me, Mrs McCarthy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37How could I forget you, Harold?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'm very good with faces, and of course we were extremely grateful
0:09:40 > 0:09:45for your assistance when Father Brown had his little spot of bother.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48It were my pleasure. And may I say how lovely you're looking today?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54CLATTERING
0:09:54 > 0:09:57CAT MEOWS
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- BREATHLESS:- What was that? - It was just a cat.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03HEAVY BUMP
0:10:03 > 0:10:05That's no cat.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Graham. Graham, what are you doing?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- No! - GLASS SMASHES
0:10:18 > 0:10:19You stay up here.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25(Graham, you can't do that! You'll get hurt!)
0:10:29 > 0:10:31PAINED GROANS
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Is someone down here?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Argh...
0:10:47 > 0:10:48- PANTING:- Lewis.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58There you go, sir.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Thank you, Sergeant.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Why can't people do the decent thing and die at a more sociable hour?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Best time of the day if you ask me, Inspector.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11BIRDSONG AND BELLS TOLL
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Looks straightforward enough.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Looks like this Lewis lad decides to help himself to some of
0:11:17 > 0:11:22his employer's valuables, photographic equipment probably.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Disturbed in the act, he goes to attack and comes off worse.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Reasonable self-defence, if you ask me.- If you say so, sir.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I do, Sergeant.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Tell the boys to finish up here and we'll take Mr Cartwright
0:11:36 > 0:11:38down the station to make a formal statement.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Any luck, we'll have the paperwork wrapped up before breakfast.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45What about last rites, sir? I notice he's wearing a crucifix.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Doesn't necessarily mean...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52No, you're absolutely right, Sergeant.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Obviously I'd hate to wake the Padre up so early, but if needs must...
0:12:04 > 0:12:06KNOCK ON DOOR
0:12:06 > 0:12:07'Margaret?'
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Father.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Are the police still downstairs?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Yes, but I doubt they'll be long.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Inspector Mallory told me what happened. How are you holding up?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I am very concerned about Graham.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30The inspector said that he was defending himself.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I'm afraid that the shock of this is going to push him back into his...
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Well... Less than Christian habits.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42By which you mean?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Well, it's no secret that Graham liked a drink.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46And I can cope with that.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50But it's the gambling that frightens me.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55When I think of the life we could have had,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57if all that money hadn't been washed down the drain.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Instead I'm living in a flat, above a shop with a leaky roof
0:13:01 > 0:13:04and a...rat infestation!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'll talk to him.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Would you, Father? I'd be so grateful.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15The Inspector said that young Mr Ward was burgling,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18and, erm...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I'm surprised by that.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I'm not. He was a strange boy.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26In fact, I never knew why Graham took him on.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I couldn't see any sign of forced entry.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Well, Lewis had his own key.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Yeah, well, sometimes Graham let him work late on his own projects.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37So he could simply have been going home?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Lewis always used the back door at night so as not to disturb us.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45If he was in the studio, he was up to no good!
0:13:49 > 0:13:51SOBBING
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Oh, dear. Come and sit down.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02I'm sorry. It's just such a shock.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Were you two...?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Lewis and I went out a couple of times.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Something happened. It's complicated.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Love always is.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Harold. Have you come back for that book?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Actually, it turns out I'd forgotten that I'd already
0:14:18 > 0:14:21paid my fine. Brain like a sieve, me.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26So I was wondering if I could have my half-crown back?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Eh, well, the fine box is emptied overnight,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34to avoid anyone being tempted to break into the van.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Well, in that case, maybe you can recommend something to me.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- What's your favourite book? - The Bible.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Ah. The Song of Solomon - beautiful.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Ah, ladies.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Mr Slow.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Ada, may I have a quick word?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Lewis wouldn't steal from Mr Cartwright. He wasn't like that.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I agree.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Was he troubled about anything?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Not that I know of. Why do you ask?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16He came to see me yesterday.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- What about?- I can't say.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Can you think of any reason why he might have been
0:15:21 > 0:15:23in the studio last night?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Sorry.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I wish I could be more help, Father, but I've got to get back to work.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37A quiet little mouse, isn't she?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Who'd have thought she'd be
0:15:39 > 0:15:42romantically involved with a criminal?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I've known Lewis since he was a little boy.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49He was not a burglar.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Have you checked his photographs?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56From what I saw, he never went anywhere without his camera.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00If something untoward was going on, he probably took a picture of it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- MARGARET:- Graham! Is that you?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45No, it's Father Brown.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Erm, I left my stole here.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Have those officers gone yet?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Yes, I believe so.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Shall I make you a cup of tea?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00That'd be lovely.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I'll put the kettle on then.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Thank you, Father.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Thank you for your cooperation. Can't have been very pleasant.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I'm more concerned about the lad's family. Have they been informed?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I can put your mind at rest there, sir.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19He was an orphan.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Do you need someone to drop you home, sir?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23No, no, thank you. The walk will do me good.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Right you are.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Hopefully we shan't have to bother you about this any more.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28PHONE RINGS
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Kembleford Police Station?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Oh, right. And your name, sir?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Uh-huh.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Oh...you poor boy.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42SHOP BELL JINGLES
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I didn't know you were still here, Father.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I was going to make Mrs Cartwright a cup of tea. Would you like one?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02That's kind of you to offer, but I'll do it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Why don't you get off?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06No doubt you've got better things to be doing?
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Erm, I'll pop back later, see if you're both all right.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Good.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Now, I have transferred the £12, two shillings and sixpence...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40What on earth are you doing?!
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Making a darkroom. - Oh, yes, of course you are(!)
0:19:44 > 0:19:47These are all the books they had on amateur photography.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I'm sure they'll be fine.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Is anybody going to tell me what is going on?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I found a box of negatives hidden in the darkroom.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03And I saw Lewis Ward holding them the day before he died.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Erm, if you don't mind, ladies.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11- Oh.- Oh.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16And please, do not open the door until I ask you,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19lest the light shine upon the darkness.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26MRS MCCARTHY SIGHS
0:20:26 > 0:20:28How long does all this take?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Ah.- Well?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Oh.- But they're not wearing...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Heavens above.- My goodness.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- You have to inform the police.- Why?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Lewis is dead, and the girls in these photographs won't thank us
0:20:51 > 0:20:53for exposing them.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55By the looks of it, they're quite used to being exposed.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Being exploited, more like.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Do you think this has anything to do with his death?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Lewis Ward, the pornographer. Well, he certainly kept that quiet.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Well, he's hardly going to shout it from the rooftops.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Why didn't he shout?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Well, because...- No, I mean...
0:21:16 > 0:21:22Mr Cartwright said that he shouted out to ask who was there.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Why didn't Lewis reply?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Isn't it obvious? Because he was up to no good!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29But Lewis didn't have anything of value on him.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Mr Cartwright said he was crashing around like a drunken rhinoceros.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35That's hardly the actions of a burglar.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Perhaps he wasn't very good at it.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Maybe Lewis went into the studio looking for help.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44He didn't reply because he couldn't.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46What do you mean, "couldn't"?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Perhaps he was already dying.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50We know what killed him, Padre!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- It was made of willow. - Are you certain?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56There's only one way to settle this, isn't there?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Is that Dr Symonds?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Inspector Mallory, Kembleford Police.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Do we have a confirmed cause of death on Lewis Ward yet?
0:22:15 > 0:22:16I see.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Thank you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Signs of respiratory failure, lockjaw, frothing at the mouth.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Strychnine.- Yes, thank you, I know what the symptoms are!
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Why would somebody have wanted him dead? He was a nobody.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I should tell you that Lewis Ward...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41..was in possession of photographic negatives
0:22:41 > 0:22:42of an...
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- ..explicit nature. - It's the first I've heard of it!
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Where are these negatives now?
0:22:52 > 0:22:53I destroyed them.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56You did what?!
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Like you, at first, I believed his death to be an accident
0:22:59 > 0:23:01and I saw no gain in publicising activities
0:23:01 > 0:23:04that would only soil his reputation.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07We shall continue this discussion.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11For now, my priority is catching his murderer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13And if he was distributing the photographs,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I very much doubt he was doing it alone.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Have you any idea who his accomplice might be?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21If someone was selling dirt in Kembleford,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24there's only one name that springs to mind.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Just hope he isn't blind drunk already.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40So, which one of you discerning gentlemen will be going home
0:23:40 > 0:23:43with this high-quality timepiece?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Stolen, is it, 'Arry?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Of course not, Inspector. I wouldn't deal in stolen goods.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51What do you think, Sergeant?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54This particular item once belonged to my very own uncle.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57So you'll be able to tell me his initials then?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Who in turn was given it by an old army friend.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Can't recall his name.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Luckily for you, I'm not interested in dodgy watches today.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Then how can I help you, Inspector?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Looking for a present for Mrs Mallory?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I want to talk to you about photographs.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Not really my area of expertise.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Now...if you don't mind, I was just having a drink with my friends.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Why don't we discuss this down the station, 'Arry?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I'm sure you'd love to assist us in our enquiries.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Excuse me.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- I'm here to see Harold Slow.- Who?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Harold...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Blind 'Arry. - Oh! Why didn't you say so?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Just, give me a minute, Father.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Padre. I had a feeling you'd be back.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Blind 'Arry is not capable of murder.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Yet we searched his malodorous residence
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and found two photographs featuring young ladies.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05These young ladies were both noticeable
0:25:05 > 0:25:08for their complete lack of clothing.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- So what did he say? - Claimed he'd never seen them before.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Of course, he also said that about the three Kilner jars
0:25:13 > 0:25:17of moonshine, the half-dozen ladies' purses and the garden gnome
0:25:17 > 0:25:20that went missing from Councillor Boothby's front porch last week.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24If you're here to take his confession, you might be a while.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31FATHER BROWN SIGHS
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Father! Decent of you to pop by.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39The inspector told me about the photographs they found in your barn.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Look, Father, you know full well I had nothing to do
0:25:42 > 0:25:43with that young lad's death.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45As for the photographs...
0:25:46 > 0:25:50..well, not everybody has taken a vow of celibacy.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52But they was purely for my personal pleasure.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Did Lewis Ward sell them to you?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Nah. Never even met the lad.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Only knew his face from seeing him around town
0:26:02 > 0:26:04pointing his camera at everything.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Last time I saw him was a couple of days ago.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10He was having a barney with that tweedy girl
0:26:10 > 0:26:12from the library.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Sounded like she was breaking up with him.- Go on.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Well, he's saying, "I'll do whatever you want, you can trust me."
0:26:20 > 0:26:22And she's not that sure.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25So he's like, "Of course I still want to be with you",
0:26:25 > 0:26:28and she says, "Well, I don't know. Everything's changed."
0:26:28 > 0:26:32And he's like, "What, because of a few stupid photographs?"
0:26:32 > 0:26:34And so she says, "Sorry."
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And he's, "Oh, please, Ada, I love you!"
0:26:37 > 0:26:39And he's left there, devastated.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Did you hear anything else?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46That's all.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Sorry, Father, you know I'd help you if I could.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Answer me this.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58If a Kembleford gentleman wished to purchase photographs
0:26:58 > 0:27:01of a...titillating nature...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04..where would he go?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07And here's me thinking you're a respectable man of the cloth!
0:27:07 > 0:27:09HE LAUGHS
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Do you want to stay in here all night?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Help me discover the truth and you might make last orders.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28All right, I'll tell you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32On one condition.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Absolutely not!
0:27:34 > 0:27:38There is no way I am stepping out with that foul-mouthed vagrant!
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Perhaps he has hidden qualities.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Then they are very well-hidden indeed.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It would only be a stroll along the river.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49And he's promised to be the model gentleman.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54He can behave like Saint Francis of Assisi - it is not going to happen!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I may have already accepted on your behalf.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Well, then you can unaccept!
0:28:00 > 0:28:04I can't, he's already given me the information.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Please, Mrs McCarthy...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10..consider this an act of charity.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Well, I hope that information was worth it,
0:28:13 > 0:28:17because you are never, ever going to hear the end of this.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23So?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Blind 'Arry said he got the photographs
0:28:29 > 0:28:31by going to the mobile library...
0:28:32 > 0:28:35..putting half a crown in the fines box,
0:28:35 > 0:28:37and asking for a book.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- About... BOTH:- Butterflies.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I'm guessing it would be under natural history.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Or it could be here in the returns trolley.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Ah. There it is.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Oh. "The Lepidopterist's Companion."
0:28:56 > 0:29:01Yes. And that's what it is - a book about butterflies.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02SHE CHUCKLES
0:29:06 > 0:29:10It's been taken out dozens of times in the past few months.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Either there's a glut of lepidopterists in Kembleford
0:29:14 > 0:29:17or there is something strange going on.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Look, it's always returned within a day or so,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22sometimes even on the same day.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Do you think someone was hiding the photographs inside it?
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Was Lewis pressurising you into selling the pictures?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I don't know what you're talking about.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Butterflies.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00You've lost me.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I know that the photographs were distributed via the mobile library.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Perfect, really. It can travel without suspicion.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Quiet, discreet.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17And if men come and go with large books...what of it?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Father, please, I'm tired, I want to go home.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21If Lewis was making you...
0:30:21 > 0:30:23He's dead!
0:30:23 > 0:30:26So why can't you stop sticking your nose where it isn't wanted?
0:30:32 > 0:30:33You mean...
0:30:35 > 0:30:40- ..he had naked girls in my studio? - It would seem so.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Never knew he had it in him!
0:30:43 > 0:30:46So...where are these negatives now then?
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Erm, they're destroyed.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Did you ever notice anything suspicious going on
0:30:50 > 0:30:52in the mobile library?
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Well...Ada was the one who served the customers.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I was busy with the administrative side of things.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04But if what you're saying is true, we have to inform the police.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Hold on! If these negatives have been destroyed,
0:31:07 > 0:31:10perhaps we're better off sweeping the whole thing under the carpet.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14But, Graham, if Lewis was poisoned,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17maybe an angry boyfriend or father could've found out
0:31:17 > 0:31:20they'd taken pictures of his girl and wanted revenge!
0:31:20 > 0:31:22The same thing had occurred to me.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Anyone home?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Sorry to barge in. Door was open.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Constable, make sure the padre stays up here, out of the way.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Do you mind telling me what is going on?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- Got a warrant.- A warrant?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41We had an anonymous tip-off from a woman saying you offered
0:31:41 > 0:31:45her money to pose for you in her birthday suit.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48We're here to search the property for evidence of activities
0:31:48 > 0:31:52in contravention of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847, Section 28.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Oh, yes...
0:31:57 > 0:31:58..and of murder.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Do a lot of your customers have their portrait taken
0:32:10 > 0:32:12in this sort of thing?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15No! Where did you even find that?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Stashed in a little cubby hole in your storeroom.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21And the photographs in our possession,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24which I perused purely for investigative purposes,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27were taken in front of your distinctive backdrop.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Lewis must have taken them, I... - Yes, I'm glad you mentioned him.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Because I got to thinking -
0:32:31 > 0:32:35what if this Lewis lad was just the assistant after all?
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Perhaps he was angling for a bigger cut, threatening to go to
0:32:39 > 0:32:42the authorities, so you thought it best to poison him.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44After that, you hit him round the head
0:32:44 > 0:32:48with a cricket bat to make it look like you'd disturbed a burglar!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50No, that's not what happened.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Found this in a box on the counter, sir.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Excellent.- I won that on the horses.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I only hid it so the missus wouldn't find out.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01How convenient.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06You see, we did some digging into Lewis' financial situation.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Turns out that for the master of his own empire of obscenity,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12he was surprisingly skint.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15You, however...
0:33:15 > 0:33:17look like you're doing all right for yourself.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25I take it Blind 'Arry's been released?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Pending further enquiries.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Here you go, Father.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Thank you, Sergeant.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39CELL DOOR SLAMS
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Wasn't sure if you'd come.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45It's been so long since I showed my face in church.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Many return to religion in times of crisis.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54I'll be honest, Father, it's your help I need, not God's.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55Go on.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Would you go and see Margaret and make sure she knows I didn't do it?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02I've been enough of a disappointment to her over the years.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- I doubt that's true. - Of course it is!
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Never lived up to my early potential, did I?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11She thought I was going to be this successful photographer,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13but things didn't quite work out.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Still, I can't bear her thinking I'm capable of murder.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Do you know anything about the photographs?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26That weren't me either.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Lewis must've taken them, but that Inspector won't believe me!
0:34:30 > 0:34:32How am I going to cope in prison?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36I can't even get to sleep without a mug of Margaret's cocoa inside me!
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Please. Please, Father...
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Yes. Yes, I'll speak to her.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Thank you.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13How many more of these horrid pictures do I have to look at?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16We need to prove who took these photographs.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Each of those girls is a potential witness.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24And you DID say you're very good with faces.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Yes, well, it's not the faces that bother me.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30And in any case, it's almost impossible
0:35:30 > 0:35:33to recognise someone when they look so...
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Well, topsy-turvy.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Well, why don't we just develop a few more?
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Oh. Wait.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49That's one face I definitely recognise.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02As I feared.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I know you posed for the photographs.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13I'm not judging you.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19You must have needed that money very badly.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21I was in a lot of debt.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23My landlady was threatening to throw me out.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26I don't think you would have said yes that easily.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29There must have been persuasion.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34How did Mrs Cartwright talk you into it?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39She caught me stealing from the fines box.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41She said if I didn't help her sell the photographs,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44she'd report me to the police.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47So you started selling the photographs.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51And then, when you were involved,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54she persuaded you to take the next step.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56The night it happened, I tried to back out.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00But it was just so much money and...
0:37:00 > 0:37:02she has this way about her.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Like you don't have a choice.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06I don't really drink.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07It'll help you relax.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I've never done anything like this before.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15The thought of all those men leering at me...
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Makes you feel vulnerable. I understand.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23But you're the one who has got the power over them.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27They'll pay handsomely for just a glimpse of your beauty.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Do you know, it's not even really you.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Just a shadow on a bit of paper.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38So why go hungry when you have the power to put food on your plate?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Lovely.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Make the most of it.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Sorry, Mr Cartwright...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Get out! Get out, you idiot!
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Sorry, I didn't...
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Lewis and I had not long started seeing each other.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07After that, I couldn't look him in the eye.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09I knew I'd made a mistake.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Mrs Cartwright said that she'd make sure the photos were
0:38:13 > 0:38:17seen by everyone in Kembleford if I didn't keep my mouth shut.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20So, her injuries weren't accidental?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23I...
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Mr Entwhistle says he didn't get a delivery
0:38:25 > 0:38:29of Graham Greene's new novel from you that morning.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I didn't mean to hurt Mrs Cartwright.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34I-I tried again to persuade her not to show the photos of me,
0:38:34 > 0:38:38and she flew off the handle. I'd never seen her like that.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40You just quit your mewling!
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Those photographs, they belong to me now, and if I want to sell them,
0:38:44 > 0:38:48then I will. So you just shut up and do as you're told!
0:38:48 > 0:38:50ADA SHRIEKS
0:38:50 > 0:38:52BOOKCASE CREAKS
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Mrs Cartwright?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03I thought she was dead.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07I didn't know what to do, so I went to see Lewis.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09He offered to find the negatives and hide them until
0:39:09 > 0:39:12we'd decided whether or not to destroy them or go to the police.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16So Lewis wasn't involved in taking the photographs?
0:39:16 > 0:39:20No. And as far as I know, Mr Cartwright didn't either.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Please don't tell anyone. It'll be my word against hers.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24My thoughts exactly.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Mrs Cartwright. What are you doing out of bed?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Tying up loose ends.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36SHE LAUGHS SOFTLY
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Well, you said yourself, the negatives have been destroyed.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I may have exaggerated.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- LAUGHING:- Nice try.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Without Ada, there's no evidence to prosecute me.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52I don't think my customers are going to be
0:39:52 > 0:39:53lining up to testify in court.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00My husband will go to jail, and I'll sell the studio and move on.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03It was you who tipped off the police.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07A chance to get rid of the husband you despise.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12I have wasted my youth on that pathetic lump of a man!
0:40:12 > 0:40:14So he might as well be useful for something!
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Anyway...anyone fancy a drive in the country?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Mrs Cartwright! Let us out!
0:40:29 > 0:40:30ENGINE STARTS Margaret!
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- Where's she taking us? - You've seen too much!
0:40:39 > 0:40:46So I'm going to take you on a little trip out to Buckley's Point,
0:40:46 > 0:40:51where sadly, this van's brakes are going to mysteriously fail.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Is that why you put strychnine in Lewis' cocoa?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Because he'd seen too much?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Oh, I'm impressed, Father.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02I couldn't trust him to keep it secret.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07He was so obviously doolally about Miss Rawlins back there.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Mrs Cartwright! Thought you'd be in bed.
0:41:14 > 0:41:21Well, I couldn't sleep, and I heard you working away down here.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23So I thought you'd like some cocoa.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25That's very good of you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32About what I saw the other night. You and Ada.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34You know I won't tell anyone, right?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Not even Mr Cartwright.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I know you won't, dear.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46I was going to make it look like suicide.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Victim of a broken heart.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52But then that idiot husband of mine
0:41:52 > 0:41:55started to play the protective house owner.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02What are you doing?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Are you all right back there?
0:42:05 > 0:42:08When a butterfly needs to break out of its chrysalis,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10it needs to find the weakest point.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17I'm not boring you, am I?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Oh, no, you don't!
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Perhaps...we should get off the road.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42CLICKING AND RATTLING
0:42:42 > 0:42:44No! No! Come on!
0:42:47 > 0:42:49SHE SPLUTTERS
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Ah. Big end's gone.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07By the time we got there, she'd already fled the scene,
0:43:07 > 0:43:09but it didn't take us long to pick her up.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Turns out that, like the van,
0:43:12 > 0:43:14she's not in as good a condition as she once was.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Inspector.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23I thought you might need them as evidence.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28You said you destroyed them!
0:43:28 > 0:43:29Some of them.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39So, are you going to take over the mobile library on a permanent basis?
0:43:39 > 0:43:41Oh, dear me, no.
0:43:41 > 0:43:46I never realised how stressful being a librarian could be.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49And in any case, we have a far more suitable candidate.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Me?
0:43:51 > 0:43:52After what happened, I thought...
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Well, you do know it better than anyone.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00And Mrs M won't have as much time on her hands now that she's courting.
0:44:00 > 0:44:01I beg your pardon?
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Half a crown says he stole those flowers from the graveyard.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Harold.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20How delightful to see you again.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29THEY CHUCKLE
