0:00:29 > 0:00:32Morning, Mrs McCarthy! Are you going somewhere nice?

0:00:32 > 0:00:35I'm waiting for someone, actually.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Our new cleaner. - Oh, yes?

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Let's hope she's better than the last one.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42She left the presbytery looking like a pigsty.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Oh, how awful for you.

0:00:44 > 0:00:49Did I mention, we've just won an award for our hanging baskets?

0:00:49 > 0:00:50You did.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53And congratulations - again.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Well, I mustn't dawdle. We have an inspector in.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Toodle-oo.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00There you go. Floral Finery Award, 1953.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Most impressive.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04Hello, Mr Chatterjee.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07I hope my husband has shown you all you need to see?

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Yes, indeed.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12And if you'd like to put this on your notice board...

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Marvellous.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Tuck your shirt in.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16TRAIN WHISTLE

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Here comes your train. The Kembleford Dragon.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Such a nice man, Mr Chatterjee.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34So very rigorous.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Hello...

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Mrs McCarthy.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45No. My name's Pandora.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Yes, I know that. I am Mrs McCarthy.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50So why did you call me Mrs McCarthy?

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Because I was...

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Never mind.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56I'm here to take you to St Mary's.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Just one item of luggage?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01That's very kind. Thank you.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05GUARD BLOWS HIS WHISTLE

0:02:07 > 0:02:09TRAIN CHUGS AWAY

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Mr Webb...

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Are you all right?

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Ben, what is it?

0:02:18 > 0:02:19No!

0:02:19 > 0:02:21They can't close us down.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Holy Mother!

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Oh...

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Oh, Father!

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Sergeant Goodfellow...

0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Are you on the way to the meeting? - I am indeed.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I was shocked to hear about the closure.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Not as shocked as the stationmaster.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Hey, how is Mr Webb? - Not good.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16He had a severe heart attack.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18He's lucky to be alive.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Honestly, I'm fine. There's no need to make such a fuss.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28The doctors told you to conserve your energy. So stop talking.

0:03:30 > 0:03:31It's good to see you!

0:03:31 > 0:03:32And how are you feeling?

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Soldiering on, Mrs M. Soldiering on.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, I've put all the chairs out.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39But I seem to have put my back out in the process.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Now, we need to put you somewhere with a good view...

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh, I think I've already got one.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Hello. - And what time do you call this?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51I don't know. I haven't got a watch.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Obviously.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Now that you are here,

0:03:54 > 0:03:56your job is to serve the refreshments.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58The what?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00A cup of tea!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Oh, thank you very much. Two sugars.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Good evening. Am I in the right place?

0:04:08 > 0:04:11That is debatable.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Mrs Webb, I am very sorry,

0:04:13 > 0:04:17but British Railways will ensure there is alternative transport.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19And will they find me an alternative husband?

0:04:19 > 0:04:22As mine's over there in a wheelchair.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Oh, Mrs Webb, let me get you a nice cup of tea.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28What goes around, comes round...

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Father Brown.- Mr Chatterjee.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Though I already know you by reputation.- Really?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Weren't you involved in a campaign to build a tunnel

0:04:39 > 0:04:41under the tracks for migrating toads?

0:04:41 > 0:04:44I like to help all God's creatures.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46And I like to ensure they get value for money.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Our report found that this part of the railway

0:04:51 > 0:04:54has been losing money for 20 years.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55- MAN:- Shame! - WOMAN:- According to you!

0:04:55 > 0:04:57The facts are here.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Father Brown?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Has there been a report into the non-monetary benefits

0:05:01 > 0:05:03of the railway?

0:05:03 > 0:05:04What do you mean?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Well, I mean such as being able to take

0:05:07 > 0:05:09an inspirational trip to the seaside.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Or visit a friend in hospital.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13Or to find some decent nightlife.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16No, because these things are priceless,

0:05:16 > 0:05:18so we must provide alternative transport.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Let me introduce someone...

0:05:22 > 0:05:24EVERYONE GROANS

0:05:27 > 0:05:30My name is Buddy Arnold.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33But you probably knew that already.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34And for the past ten years,

0:05:34 > 0:05:38I've been the owner of Arnold's Bus Company.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40"As easy as ABC."

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Those of you in the Women's Institute

0:05:43 > 0:05:46will remember our awayday to Wordsworth's cottage.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47All too well...

0:05:47 > 0:05:50While the boys in blue will have many happy memories

0:05:50 > 0:05:52of a magic weekend in Mablethorpe.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Don't worry, Sergeant. Your secret's safe with me!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57I don't know what he's talking about.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Now, I was sad to hear about the closing of the railway station.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02But on the bright side,

0:06:02 > 0:06:06my fleet of charabancs will visit all the places

0:06:06 > 0:06:08the train used to go to, but...

0:06:08 > 0:06:11..at double the speed and for half the price.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Mrs Webb, could you wait till the end

0:06:14 > 0:06:15if there is something you disagree with?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I disagree with every word!

0:06:17 > 0:06:20You're not sad to hear of our closure.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22You danced a little jig, probably causing a landslide.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24That's nice...

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Yes, you will bring down your prices.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Until you own the monopoly and you'll put them back up again.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Exactly.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32It's not about pounds, shillings and pence.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34The railway is our life.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Well, you look like you're about ready to retire, anyway.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Oh!

0:06:49 > 0:06:51I'm sorry, Sergeant.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53It was most ill-mannered.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57But Ben and I have spent years at the station.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59We try to make it seem homely.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Did you know I won an award for my hanging baskets?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Mrs McCarthy may have mentioned it.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12The trophy's at the station, I'm afraid.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14I took it in to show the Inspector.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Fat lot of good that did.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21How is Mr Webb?

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I'm fine.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Just fed up with folk looking at me as if I'm about to snuff it.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Ben, it's good to see you up.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30Tuck your shirt in.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34You'll be pleased to hear we've formed a committee

0:07:34 > 0:07:36called Save Our Station.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37SOS. I like it.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40And we're planning a fete, to raise money for the campaign.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oh, that's a most wonderful idea!

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Here, I've got something in my shed I want to show you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56I've been working on this for...22 years.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58It's...extraordinary.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03You've got the whole of Kembleford station, the signal box...

0:08:03 > 0:08:05It's not finished yet.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07So it seems a bit cruel they're closing the station

0:08:07 > 0:08:11- before I've even finished my model. - Darling...

0:08:11 > 0:08:14We'll do whatever we can. And there's always this little fete.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Yeah.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I know where we can hold it.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's fourpence for the petit-four.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37But remember, a shilling for the custard tartlets.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Right.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Did you get that? - What?

0:08:40 > 0:08:41The custard tartlets...

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Oh, yes, please, I haven't had any breakfast.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48No, you are not here to eat. You're here to help.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51And as you put no effort into cleaning the church,

0:08:51 > 0:08:53that is the least you could do.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Don't you think that was a teensy bit harsh?

0:09:00 > 0:09:04No, I don't think it was a teensy bit harsh.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07She needs to know if she's not coming up to my standards.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09No-one comes up to your standards.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Hello, ladies.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Oh, Mr Webb!

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Can I interest you in a sticky bun?

0:09:14 > 0:09:18I'd love a bit of that, but I don't think my heart would take it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21There you are! I've been worried sick.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24I just popped to the bathroom to check my hair wasn't too ridiculous.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Really? Well, you might want to check it again.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Mrs Webb, an award-winning strawberry scone,

0:09:31 > 0:09:33only sixpence.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36I mustn't. I'm piling on the pounds at the moment and...

0:09:36 > 0:09:37I'm catching the 11:55!

0:09:37 > 0:09:39What's he doing here?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'll be glad to see the back of this place.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Would that be a pineapple upside-down cake?

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yes, that would be.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51But you have to pay, just like anyone else.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52HORN HONKS

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Oh, look who it is...

0:09:55 > 0:09:56Hello, folks!

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Sorry I'm late.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Who wants a ride in the countryside?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Free coach trips

0:10:03 > 0:10:08to Evesham, Amblesham and Tawny Lake.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Have you got permission to hand out flyers?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14I just wanted to show I don't bear a grudge.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15How's Mr Webb?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18It was sad to see him looking so old and frail the other day.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Mr Arnold, it's time your charabanc left the station.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24If you say so.

0:10:27 > 0:10:28Wretched man.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Well, I must go and get Ben.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34He was going to do a speech, but I'm not sure he's well enough.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Is there anyone else we could ask?

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Imagine, if you will,

0:10:43 > 0:10:45a world without railways.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49It would be a world of absolute silence.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52DOG BARKS

0:10:52 > 0:10:55A world in which we would still travel...

0:10:58 > 0:11:00..but no longer together.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Each one of us apart...

0:11:04 > 0:11:06..in their own metallic shell.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09Erm, Father Brown...

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- I think you should stop talking. - What?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15At least until we find out where the blood is coming from.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Excuse me, please.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35SHE GASPS

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Gustum et locutionem tactum

0:11:43 > 0:11:47gressum deliquisti.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Padre, have you quite finished?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55I have commended his soul to God.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Now I leave you his mortal remains.

0:11:58 > 0:11:59Thank you.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00Thank you so much.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Well, it looks like we have rather a lot of people to talk to...

0:12:08 > 0:12:10No...

0:12:10 > 0:12:12This can't be happening.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15I... Mrs Webb, I know it's distressing, but...

0:12:15 > 0:12:18..when did you last see your husband?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Just over an hour ago, at the fete.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27He went to use the facilities, er...

0:12:27 > 0:12:28to tidy his hair.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Erm...

0:12:30 > 0:12:32I went to look for him...

0:12:32 > 0:12:34..but he wasn't there.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Have you any idea how he came to be inside a trunk?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Of course not!

0:12:41 > 0:12:44SHE SNIFFLES

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Erm...

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Trunks are left in the luggage repository by the entrance.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53Erm...

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Then the porter puts them on a train.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Did it have a label on it?

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Sadly, not.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06So I have to ask...

0:13:07 > 0:13:09..did your husband have any enemies?

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, I didn't like the man.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13But I'm hardly going to batter his brains out.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Though you have been business rivals for some years.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Rivals? Not really. I mean...

0:13:18 > 0:13:20..everyone knows the train's had its day.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23But who can resist a 95-horsepower engine?

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Oh, speaking of which, shall we sort out your next trip to Skegness?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Not just now, Buddy.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30When did you last see Mr Webb?

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Er, this morning, as I drove my charabanc into the car park.

0:13:33 > 0:13:34Oh, yes?

0:13:34 > 0:13:36He was having an argument with that Indian fella.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39You know, the one who's closing the railway.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Then I bent down to pick up me pamphlets

0:13:42 > 0:13:43and, when I looked up, they'd disappeared.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49So your name is Deepak Chatterjee?

0:13:49 > 0:13:51It is indeed.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56It's an unusual name for someone working for BRITISH Railways.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00I used to work for the India Railway Company

0:14:00 > 0:14:04and had responsibility for 70,000 miles of track.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08It is unusual to be in England, where everything is so much...

0:14:08 > 0:14:09..smaller.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17When did you last see Ben Webb?

0:14:17 > 0:14:18At the public meeting last week.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22You didn't see him this morning?

0:14:23 > 0:14:24I did not.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Are you sure?

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Positive.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35You've been in Kembleford for a while now.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Are you planning to stay here permanently?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I have only been here for the consultation.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44I was due to return to London on the 11:55.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47So where, exactly...

0:14:48 > 0:14:50..is your luggage?

0:14:52 > 0:14:53I cannot believe he's dead.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Only last week, I sent him a "get well soon" card.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59It's as if the Grim Reaper didn't manage the first time.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02OK, folks, you're all free to go.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Oh, about time. - And where are you off to?

0:15:05 > 0:15:06I'm off to save the railway.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Sergeant Goodfellow, I'm keen to help in any way I can.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14That won't be necessary, Father.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15We already have our prime suspect.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Deepak Chatterjee.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Turns out it was his trunk.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21We found his clothes in a bin round the corner.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Has he confessed? - Not yet.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26And there's no sign of the murder weapon.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28We've got the railway police out looking for it.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30But there is one positive.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Yes?- With Mr Chatterjee on trial for murder,

0:15:33 > 0:15:35that'll slow down their plans to close the station.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Well, that's good news, then.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Every cloud...

0:15:43 > 0:15:45Yes. But what if our friends in the police

0:15:45 > 0:15:47have found themselves a convenient scapegoat?

0:15:48 > 0:15:49An outsider.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Someone who we'd all rather see the back of.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Are you saying you think he's innocent?

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Ben Webb was killed in a brutal attack.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Mr Chatterjee seems the gentlest of men.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Even at the public meeting, with all the villagers braying at him,

0:16:04 > 0:16:06he was like Daniel in the lion's den.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Father Brown...

0:16:10 > 0:16:12Mrs Webb...

0:16:12 > 0:16:14..you have my sincerest condolences.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15That's very kind.

0:16:17 > 0:16:18I was wondering...

0:16:20 > 0:16:22..if I could talk to you about the funeral.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Of course.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27I have an unusual request.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Well, I've started a petition.

0:16:35 > 0:16:36"Hands off our railway."

0:16:38 > 0:16:39Why are you painting bonsai trees?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Mrs Webb is planning her husband's funeral.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43She doesn't want flowers.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45She wants us to complete his railway.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Hm... There's a jolly way to spend a day.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51And I was supposed to be organising a spring clean.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54But, of course, Pandora failed to appear.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Probably still sulking.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Well, I have been investigating.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02I went to see Buddy Arnold, to see if he'd sign my petition.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05What on earth for? He runs the replacement bus company.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Well, I wanted to know about his movements.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11So I went to the bus station - no sign of him there.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Then I went to his house.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Oh, that huge monstrosity.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16There was a removals van outside,

0:17:16 > 0:17:18loading up his furniture.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20I'm intrigued.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23PHONE RINGS IN NEXT ROOM

0:17:23 > 0:17:25You think he was planning to leave town?

0:17:25 > 0:17:28As fast as his fat little legs will carry him.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31But why would he kill Mr Webb?

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Oh, yes, yes, I know, he was keen to do him out of a job,

0:17:33 > 0:17:34but...murder.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36I mean, that is ridiculous.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39That was Sergeant Goodfellow.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41They've charged Deepak Chatterjee.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44And he wants to see a priest.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Ah, Padre!

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Come to give spiritual guidance to our resident murderer?

0:17:52 > 0:17:55How can you be sure Deepak Chatterjee was the killer?

0:17:55 > 0:17:59It is, quite literally, an open-and-shut case.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02There were three sets of fingerprints found on the trunk

0:18:02 > 0:18:05belonging to Goodfellow, the porter...

0:18:05 > 0:18:08..and Deepak Chatterjee.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I do hope your men were careful to avoid contamination

0:18:11 > 0:18:13and were wearing gloves.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Of course they were!

0:18:16 > 0:18:18And so, I imagine, was the killer.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25BELL RINGS

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Father Brown!

0:18:34 > 0:18:35Mr Chatterjee.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38I had no idea you were a Catholic.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41I'm a Hindu, but many paths lead to the same God.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44However, I wanted to ask for your help.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45With what?

0:18:45 > 0:18:47To get out of here alive.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Your reputation precedes you.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57Mr Chatterjee...

0:18:57 > 0:18:59..did you kill Ben Webb?

0:18:59 > 0:19:00I did not.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03At the public meeting, I heard you say,

0:19:03 > 0:19:05"What goes around, comes around."

0:19:05 > 0:19:06I did say it.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Because I did not like this man.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Ben Webb was a notorious adulterer,

0:19:11 > 0:19:14unworthy of the wonderful woman he was married to.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16How do you know?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18It was the talk of all the Inspectors.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20He had an office at the railway station

0:19:20 > 0:19:22where he would seduce young women.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Some of my colleagues used to call him Spider Webb.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29You had your disagreements, though. He was a thorn in your side.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Not so much that I would kill him!

0:19:31 > 0:19:34But, yes, on the day he died, I went to see him.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36I ordered him to call off his campaign,

0:19:36 > 0:19:39otherwise I would tell the whole world what sort of a man he was.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Did you tell this to the police?

0:19:42 > 0:19:44I pretended I hadn't seen him for days.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47I knew it would look bad.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50That the police would want to make me a scapegoat.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Mr Chatterjee, by not telling the truth,

0:19:53 > 0:19:57I fear that you have made things a thousand times worse.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Thank you for the service, Father.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28You did my husband proud.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29You're welcome.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31And if you ever need to talk...

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Hello, Mrs Webb. Can I offer you a cup of tea,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36- or something stronger? - Not right now, thank you.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40- How about a prawn vol-au-vent? - I'd rather not.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Well, you really ought to eat something.- I'm well aware!

0:20:42 > 0:20:45I've managed this far in life.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Though goodness knows why...

0:20:55 > 0:20:56Mrs Webb...

0:20:57 > 0:20:59May I have another look at Ben's model railway?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09It's been quite therapeutic putting it together...

0:21:10 > 0:21:12..in memory of Ben.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Such wonderful detail.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Yeah.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Even the arrivals board.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Yeah.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22And talking of arrivals,

0:21:22 > 0:21:24is there something you want to tell me?

0:21:24 > 0:21:25You knew?

0:21:26 > 0:21:29I've seen you a few times cradling your stomach.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I only found out yesterday.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35I should have guessed, but...

0:21:37 > 0:21:41..I thought I was going through... the change.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43And is it a happy event?

0:21:43 > 0:21:45I don't know.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Ben and I tried for so long.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50But now...

0:21:51 > 0:21:53..this child will never know its own father.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59Mrs Webb, your child will grow up surrounded by friends.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01We will all rally around.

0:22:02 > 0:22:03Of course.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05I am blessed.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Though...it's a mixed blessing.

0:22:10 > 0:22:11And your marriage to Ben...

0:22:13 > 0:22:14Yes?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17..was it a happy one?

0:22:18 > 0:22:19Most of the time.

0:22:21 > 0:22:26It's fairly well known that Ben had a roving eye.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29But at the end of the day...

0:22:30 > 0:22:32..he always came home to me.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Well, if any man did that to me,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38I'd be shoving his corpse into a suitcase.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41But why wait 22 years?

0:22:41 > 0:22:44By all accounts, Ben Webb spent a lifetime philandering.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47In my experience,

0:22:47 > 0:22:49the only way to keep most men from straying

0:22:49 > 0:22:51is to lock them up.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53How are you getting on with young Pandora?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Getting on?

0:22:56 > 0:22:57I'm about to let her go.

0:22:57 > 0:22:58Ah...

0:22:58 > 0:23:00She hasn't shown up all week.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04And quite frankly, the place is a lot cleaner without her.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06When did you see her last?

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Oh, let me see, it would have been...

0:23:08 > 0:23:10..the day Ben was murdered.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Heavens above!

0:23:14 > 0:23:15I've just remembered something.

0:23:15 > 0:23:20When Ben had his heart attack, I was walking past with Pandora.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Well, maybe it wasn't the notice that upset him.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Maybe it was seeing her.

0:23:26 > 0:23:27So...

0:23:27 > 0:23:32..a middle-aged lech has a turn when a certain girl walks past him.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36Then, a week later, he's been beaten to death and she's disappeared.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37Coincidence?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Do you have Pandora's address in Kembleford?

0:23:47 > 0:23:48KNOCKING

0:23:51 > 0:23:52Hello, who is it?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54What do you want?

0:23:54 > 0:23:56It's Father Brown, Miss Tibby.

0:23:58 > 0:23:59And this is my young friend Bunty.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Hello!

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Thank goodness.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04I saw a shape in the window.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06I thought it was death.

0:24:08 > 0:24:09Not today, hopefully.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14We're looking for our friend, who may have been staying with you.

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Pandora Pott.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18Pandora? Oh, yes, she was here.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21But she disappeared over a week ago.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23No explanation.

0:24:23 > 0:24:24No note.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26No rent.

0:24:26 > 0:24:27Any idea where she may have gone to?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29No, I don't know.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Perhaps she ran off with her fancy man.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Fancy man?

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Oh, she was always going on about him.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39He's some great transport mogul.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41They were going to get married and...

0:24:41 > 0:24:43..she was going to be a millionaire.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46Any idea of the name of this this transport mogul?

0:24:46 > 0:24:47No.

0:24:49 > 0:24:50I thought she was exaggerating.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55But she did get quite weepy when she talked about him.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59She wondered if he was stringing her along.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02So last Saturday morning, she went off to have a word with him.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Did she say what happened?

0:25:05 > 0:25:07I never saw her again.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11She was in a very strange mood that morning.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Miss Tibby...

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Oh, yes.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Oh, if you do see her...

0:25:20 > 0:25:21..tell her I miss her.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26So a troubled Pandora came here to confront her lover.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Who may well be Ben Webb.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Are you sure it's safe to snoop?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Well, it's a public holiday,

0:25:35 > 0:25:40so we should be able to peruse unperturbed.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Would you like to have a go?

0:25:53 > 0:25:54Oh, yes, please.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02This may be the room where Mr Webb would entertain young ladies.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05I'm not sure I want to look.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Well done!

0:26:24 > 0:26:25HE SNIFFS

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Interesting bouquet?

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Disinfectant.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Why place a bin here?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Shouldn't it be by the desk?

0:26:35 > 0:26:37People do move things, you know?

0:26:42 > 0:26:44This belonged to Pandora.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Yes. She never took it off.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Sort of like a comfort blanket.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Except that she did.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52And she was never seen again.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56Father...

0:26:56 > 0:26:57Can you smell smoke?

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Well, we can't go that way.

0:27:07 > 0:27:08Er, any good at screaming?

0:27:10 > 0:27:11Hel...

0:27:11 > 0:27:12SHE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Evidently not.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Can you smell something, Sergeant?

0:27:28 > 0:27:31FATHER BROWN OVER TANOY: Attention! Attention!

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Kembleford Station is on fire!

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Two people are trapped in the station building.

0:27:36 > 0:27:37Help!

0:27:37 > 0:27:39That man gets everywhere!

0:27:44 > 0:27:47- Maybe we could move the desk. - Stand clear!

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Hallelujah.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59Ah, hallelujah.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05That was quick!

0:28:05 > 0:28:06Thank you, Sergeant.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08We had reports of three people

0:28:08 > 0:28:09acting suspiciously on railway property.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11Three people?

0:28:11 > 0:28:13You two, and an arsonist, who's just been apprehended.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16And yet, you still think Deepak Chatterjee is the killer.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18What makes you think he's innocent?

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Well, Mr Chatterjee seemed like the most mild-mannered of men.

0:28:21 > 0:28:25And that was a frenzied, passionate assault.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27We've just had the postmortem.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30Turns out he didn't die from a bang to the head.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Ben Webb was actually killed by... - Yes?

0:28:32 > 0:28:35Padre, I think you should know you are not in Sunday school.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38We do not always forgive us our trespassers.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41Oooh, Inspector, you should be on the stage!

0:28:41 > 0:28:42And you should be...

0:28:43 > 0:28:45..elsewhere!

0:28:45 > 0:28:46I've half a mind to arrest you.

0:28:48 > 0:28:49But I'm otherwise engaged with an arsonist.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52And, erm...

0:28:53 > 0:28:54..who is the arsonist?

0:29:01 > 0:29:03I'm sorry.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06I didn't think anyone'd be there.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09- It's a Bank Holiday. - Exactly.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12A perfect day to potter about or go to the gee-gees.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15Not to set fire to public amenities.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17The thing is...

0:29:19 > 0:29:21..I haven't got any money.

0:29:21 > 0:29:22What?

0:29:22 > 0:29:24My bus company...

0:29:24 > 0:29:25..it's a bust company.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29And the bailiffs have paid me a visit.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Taken every stick of furniture.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34But I thought you were richer than Rockefeller.

0:29:34 > 0:29:35Hm!

0:29:35 > 0:29:37That is the impression I like to give.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41So...why did you set fire to the railway station?

0:29:41 > 0:29:44It's this business of the rail replacement bus service.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48It was my one chance to get some business.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52But now, with Mr Chatterjee behind bars, it'll drag on and on.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54But I thought...

0:29:54 > 0:29:57..if I could get rid of the station building,

0:29:57 > 0:29:59they might need my services somewhat sooner.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Dear, oh, dear...

0:30:01 > 0:30:05I had nothing to do with the other business. And if you could...

0:30:05 > 0:30:06..turn a blind eye,

0:30:06 > 0:30:09I won't charge a penny for your next excursion.

0:30:10 > 0:30:11Oh, Buddy...

0:30:11 > 0:30:15Not even a fortnight in Frinton would get you out of this one.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20So we don't even know how he died?

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Being hit on the head was the first blow.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25I still can't believe it was Pandora.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27I mean, she could hardly lift a broom,

0:30:27 > 0:30:29never mind a blunt instrument.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31What if it was the other way around?

0:30:33 > 0:30:36We know that Pandora was obsessed with Ben Webb.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38She went to see him on the day that he died.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42What if he had harmed her, abducted her, or worse?

0:30:43 > 0:30:48He had the key to every last engine shed and signal box.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50If he did do anything to her,

0:30:50 > 0:30:53I'll wager it was on British Railways property.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Mrs McCarthy, you are a saint and an angel.

0:30:58 > 0:30:59Now...

0:31:00 > 0:31:02..if only we had a scale model.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08SHE KNOCKS

0:31:12 > 0:31:13We'll just have to come back later.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16Or we could sneak around the back.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20Mrs Webb is a grieving widow.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22We can't just go noseying around.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24We could have a quick look.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26But that would be a terrible thing to do.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33Well, she definitely isn't in the station.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36So what's this?

0:31:36 > 0:31:38A 19th century railway shed.

0:31:38 > 0:31:39About half a mile away.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Oh...

0:31:41 > 0:31:43- Well, that's worth exploring. - I agree.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47You do realise, that if we discover the truth

0:31:47 > 0:31:48and Mr Chatterjee is innocent...

0:31:49 > 0:31:51..he's going to close all this down.

0:31:51 > 0:31:55Sometimes the path of truth is the most difficult path.

0:31:55 > 0:31:56So we should get going, then.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00What is it now?

0:32:00 > 0:32:02The trophy...

0:32:02 > 0:32:05..Mrs Webb won for her hanging baskets.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Oh, yes, such a ridiculous fuss.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12Just because she prunes the foliage and keeps everything tidy.

0:32:13 > 0:32:14Yes.

0:32:14 > 0:32:15She does.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17We should go. It's about to get dark.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Of course.

0:32:20 > 0:32:21I'll follow on later.

0:32:21 > 0:32:22What?

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Best not to argue.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52FAINT JINGLY MUSIC

0:32:59 > 0:33:01SHE HUMS SOFTLY

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Father Brown!

0:33:13 > 0:33:15I'm sorry I've not come in to work this week.

0:33:15 > 0:33:16No.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18But you have an awfully good excuse.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23I've had six months of having to hide it.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26All summer long, I've had to keep my coat on.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30May I ask who the father is?

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Ben Webb.

0:33:32 > 0:33:33Ah...

0:33:33 > 0:33:35When did you meet him?

0:33:35 > 0:33:39It were last year, when I came here on a church outing with my auntie.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43He was funny and kind...

0:33:44 > 0:33:46..and he told me I was special.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49And my auntie always said, "Never kiss a man,

0:33:49 > 0:33:51"because you'll end up in the family way."

0:33:51 > 0:33:53So I made sure.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56When we did what we did...

0:33:56 > 0:33:58..we never, ever kissed.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01Does your aunt know your condition?

0:34:01 > 0:34:04Oh, no! I... I couldn't ever tell her.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07But then I saw an advert in the church magazine.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10It said they needed a cleaner at St Mary's.

0:34:10 > 0:34:11So here I am.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Hello, dear. I've got you some strawberries.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16You're eating for two now, so...

0:34:18 > 0:34:20- Father Brown. - Mrs Webb.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Why don't you take the weight off your feet?

0:34:23 > 0:34:26And the excess weight you've been carrying.

0:34:30 > 0:34:35Do your eyes never get tired of staring into people's souls?

0:34:37 > 0:34:40It must have been a great sadness that you and Ben

0:34:40 > 0:34:41were never blessed with children.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43You have no idea.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46And yet, you have persuaded this young woman

0:34:46 > 0:34:49to hand over the child she is carrying

0:34:49 > 0:34:52and pass it off as your own.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55What did you promise in return?

0:34:58 > 0:35:00Perhaps I should telephone Inspector Mallory.

0:35:00 > 0:35:04He'll be very keen to know that we have found our missing person.

0:35:04 > 0:35:05All right!

0:35:06 > 0:35:11Pandora has agreed to give me her baby.

0:35:11 > 0:35:12And in return...

0:35:14 > 0:35:15..I won't tell the police...

0:35:16 > 0:35:18..that she murdered my husband.

0:35:19 > 0:35:20I didn't mean to.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23It was the day of the fete.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25And I knew I couldn't wait any longer.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28I went to see him,

0:35:28 > 0:35:30to tell him what he'd done,

0:35:30 > 0:35:32to find out what he was going to do about it.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34I want a word with you.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36He said we should go to his office.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38I took off my coat.

0:35:40 > 0:35:41He was awful.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43He shouted at me.

0:35:43 > 0:35:44Well, I don't want it.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46I never wanted one with my wife.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48Why would I want to have your sprog?

0:35:49 > 0:35:51- What am I going to do? - I don't know.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Have a gin bath.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Throw it on the railway line for all I care!

0:35:55 > 0:35:57And as he went to walk away,

0:35:57 > 0:35:59I picked up the trophy from the desk

0:35:59 > 0:36:01and banged him on the head.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10I didn't mean to, but...

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Was this the trophy?

0:36:17 > 0:36:18Yes.

0:36:19 > 0:36:20It's intriguing.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Last week, you said that it was still in the station.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26But when Ben was killed, the police searched everywhere for a weapon.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Surely they would have removed this for examination.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33Unless someone had already done so.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35I took it away.

0:36:35 > 0:36:39Because there's no need to tell anyone.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41Pandora didn't mean to do it.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44And now, by giving me her illegitimate baby,

0:36:44 > 0:36:49at least some good will come from it.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51I won't tell the police.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Because Pandora Pott did not kill Ben Webb.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00- I believe he was drowned. - What?- What?

0:37:00 > 0:37:03On the day of the fete, you went looking for your husband.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05Well, I must go and get Ben.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07I assume you heard his angry words to Pandora.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10I never wanted one with my wife.

0:37:10 > 0:37:11Why would I want to have your sprog?

0:37:11 > 0:37:15I cannot imagine the hurt of learning that,

0:37:15 > 0:37:18all those years you were longing for a baby,

0:37:18 > 0:37:20he was praying for the exact opposite.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24And then...

0:37:24 > 0:37:25..you had an opportunity.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27You walked into a scene of chaos.

0:37:27 > 0:37:32But, then, you are used to clearing up other people's messes.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35I imagine that you told Pandora to go on ahead...

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Go to my house.

0:37:37 > 0:37:38..and all would be well

0:37:38 > 0:37:41and that you had some business to attend to.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43And then you committed murder.

0:37:43 > 0:37:44SHE SCOFFS

0:37:44 > 0:37:46There was a wastepaper bin in the office,

0:37:46 > 0:37:48about the size of a human head.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51And you were carrying a watering can...

0:37:52 > 0:37:56..having just topped up your hanging baskets.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05It was all done in a moment.

0:38:06 > 0:38:10I was going to travel with him on the train and...

0:38:10 > 0:38:12..dump his body in Tawny Lake.

0:38:12 > 0:38:17And then I would pretend that he'd run off and left me.

0:38:18 > 0:38:22And no-one would ever find out what really happened to him.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24But someone did find out.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27And an innocent man will hang.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29That was never my plan.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33Mr Chatterjee's trunk was lying there and...

0:38:33 > 0:38:35..it was just the right size.

0:38:35 > 0:38:36Yes.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38That was my first suspicion.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Ben was incurably scruffy.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44But when he tumbled from the trunk, he was immaculate.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48Even in death, you couldn't resist...

0:38:48 > 0:38:50..tucking his shirt in.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53Mr Chatterjee is never going to hang.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55There's not enough evidence.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57I am going away with Pandora.

0:38:57 > 0:39:01And then she can give birth,

0:39:01 > 0:39:04somewhere nice, by the seaside.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06And then I'll...

0:39:06 > 0:39:08..come home with the baby.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12After all these years...

0:39:13 > 0:39:16..I'm finally having a baby.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19No! I'm not going to let you.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20What?

0:39:20 > 0:39:22You made me believe I was a murderer.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25- You lied to me. - A little white lie.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28I'm going to keep this baby.

0:39:28 > 0:39:29And what kind of life is it going to have?

0:39:29 > 0:39:32The unwanted runt of an unmarried mother.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36But if I look after him...

0:39:37 > 0:39:41..he will be loved and cherished and...

0:39:41 > 0:39:43I'm having my baby!

0:39:43 > 0:39:46I'm having...my baby.

0:39:46 > 0:39:47Don't be ridiculous!

0:39:47 > 0:39:49I think what Pandora is trying to say

0:39:49 > 0:39:52is that she is having this baby now.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55- I can feel it coming! - You can't! It's too soon.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57This young woman has no choice.

0:39:57 > 0:39:58You have two.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02Either you run away, where no-one will ever find you,

0:40:02 > 0:40:05or, for the sake of the child and your immortal soul...

0:40:05 > 0:40:07- Yes? - ..go and find an ambulance.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09PANDORA CRIES OUT

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Do you think you'll be able to walk?

0:40:14 > 0:40:15No!

0:40:15 > 0:40:18Any minute now, I'm going to have to swim!

0:40:18 > 0:40:21I seem to remember something about towels...

0:40:21 > 0:40:23- Don't leave me! - No. Of course not.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Keep calm and all will be all right.

0:40:26 > 0:40:27SHE GROANS

0:40:28 > 0:40:29What are we going to do?

0:40:31 > 0:40:35SHE CRIES OUT

0:40:35 > 0:40:37- What you need to do is push. - I can't!

0:40:37 > 0:40:41What does it say in the Bible about the camel and the eye of the needle?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Yes, it also said faith can move mountains.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47SHE CRIES OUT

0:40:49 > 0:40:53BABY WAILS

0:40:58 > 0:41:01God created the world.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04And you have performed a similar miracle.

0:41:06 > 0:41:07Pandora...

0:41:09 > 0:41:10..it's a boy.

0:41:10 > 0:41:11Oh, oh...

0:41:15 > 0:41:17Oh, he's lovely.

0:41:18 > 0:41:19He's so, so lovely.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32The ambulance is here.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34And the police.

0:41:35 > 0:41:39I don't think you're ever going to see me again, but please...

0:41:42 > 0:41:43..could you send me a photograph?

0:41:48 > 0:41:52Right, well, I have 225 names.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55But I'm getting a bit tempted to invent a few.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57I think you should resist that temptation.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01I still can't believe they're really going to close it.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04I mean, they might as well hang a condemned sign over the village.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07Oh, don't say that, Mrs M. We've got to pull through together and...

0:42:07 > 0:42:08But... Oh!

0:42:08 > 0:42:10Hello!

0:42:10 > 0:42:11Hello!

0:42:13 > 0:42:15Oh...!

0:42:16 > 0:42:17Thank you, Father!

0:42:17 > 0:42:21And thank you for finding Pandora and bringing her home to me.

0:42:21 > 0:42:22You're welcome.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Have you been in touch with your aunt yet?

0:42:24 > 0:42:26She doesn't want to see me.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28Says I've brought shame on the family.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31But it doesn't matter. I've got Miss Tibby to look after me.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33If you'll forgive my saying,

0:42:33 > 0:42:36Miss Tibby is not exactly in the first bloom of youth.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Balderdash! I feel 70 years younger.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42And I have good reason for looking after this one.

0:42:42 > 0:42:44Oh, what's that?

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Many years ago...

0:42:47 > 0:42:49..I had a child of my own.

0:42:50 > 0:42:51But I didn't have a husband.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56So the poor baby was taken away from me.

0:42:59 > 0:43:03Well, this little boy will be looked after and loved

0:43:03 > 0:43:06and no-one will look down on him.

0:43:06 > 0:43:07Well said!

0:43:07 > 0:43:09Good morning!

0:43:09 > 0:43:10Oh, Mr Chatterjee.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12I came to thank you, Father Brown.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15If it wasn't for you, I would be sitting in a condemned cell.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19Well, since we helped to get your neck out of the noose,

0:43:19 > 0:43:21would you take a look at our petition?

0:43:21 > 0:43:22No need for this.

0:43:22 > 0:43:23Oh?

0:43:23 > 0:43:27The closure was only going to happen while there was an alternative.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29But now that Mr Arnold is behind bars...

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Are you saying that...?

0:43:31 > 0:43:32Yes, Mrs McCarthy.

0:43:32 > 0:43:34It's full steam ahead!

0:43:34 > 0:43:36Oh...!

0:43:38 > 0:43:39Chooo-chooo!

0:43:39 > 0:43:41THEY ALL CHUCKLE
