0:00:02 > 0:00:05Providing a much-needed window for Northern Rhodesian painters,

0:00:05 > 0:00:08the Lusaka Art Society held a most interesting exhibition.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10It had a completely comprehensive nature,

0:00:10 > 0:00:14ranging from this most striking sculpture by Miss Jean Warrington

0:00:14 > 0:00:16to this vivid depiction of an African village

0:00:16 > 0:00:18by Lady Felicia Montague.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20And here she is now.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Patron of the Lusaka Art Society,

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Lady Felicia's a pretty picture herself

0:00:26 > 0:00:29and always the epitome of grace and decorum.

0:00:29 > 0:00:30One thing's for certain,

0:00:30 > 0:00:33his Excellency, the Governor Montgomery Montague

0:00:33 > 0:00:36is a lucky man to have such a beautiful and devoted wife.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44- HE MAKES KNOCKING SOUND - Why do you always do that?

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Because it makes you laugh.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Stop it. - It makes you look happy.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Have you thought any more about...?

0:01:00 > 0:01:01It's all I can think about.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03And?

0:01:09 > 0:01:11You're asking me to give up my whole life.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15My marriage. Everything.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18To live happily ever after...

0:01:21 > 0:01:22..more or less.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26You're mad.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27What would everybody think?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29This isn't about what people think.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31- And Monty? - You're just an accessory to him.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33I am not an accessory!

0:01:34 > 0:01:36That's why you need someone who can see that.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Don't make the same mistake twice.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44How dare you suggest my marriage was a mistake.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Do you love him? Are you happy?

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Felicia?

0:01:56 > 0:01:59You're as naive and reckless now as you were ten years ago.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Maybe that's why I turned you down.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03You turned me down because you were scared,

0:02:03 > 0:02:04like you are now.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12We love each other, don't we?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Don't we?

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Then call me an old romantic

0:02:18 > 0:02:21but I don't think anything should get in the way of that.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23I know what I'm asking.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28This could be the most terrifying thing you've ever done. But...

0:02:28 > 0:02:31..it could also make you the happiest you've ever been.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yes.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Yes?- Yes.- Yes!

0:02:55 > 0:02:58I love you.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59SHE LAUGHS

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Ooooh!

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Uh, uh, not yet!

0:03:34 > 0:03:36What's the camera for?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Homes and Garden Magazine

0:03:38 > 0:03:40are holding a "Queen of the Kitchen" competition.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Oh, maybe I could pose for it.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45You can't boil an egg.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Father, would you do the honours? - Of course.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Oooh, very good.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Very regal.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Finished?

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Yes. Now you may eat.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Typical. We show up after all this time

0:04:04 > 0:04:07and the first thing we see is you gorging yourselves!

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Sid! Lady Felicia!

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Don't all talk at once. It's not a pretty picture.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Oooh, I've missed these!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Father Brown.- You may have two.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Why didn't you tell us you were coming?

0:04:20 > 0:04:22It was a last minute decision.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24We felt like a change from the Rhodesian climate.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26And there's nothing quite like the Kembleford rain.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28For your information, the weather here has been beautiful.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Oh, every day in Kembleford is like a day in paradise.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33That was actually quite convincing.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Thank you! I'm thinking of becoming an actress.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36ALL: No!

0:04:36 > 0:04:38So there I was, in the jungle...

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- In the garden. - ..face-to-face with this lion...

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Cub.- It was not a cub. - How big are we talking?

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Big enough it could've ripped me to shreds.- So, cat-sized then?

0:04:45 > 0:04:47- It was bigger than a cat. - But smaller than a fox.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- A most magnificent gift.- Ah...

0:04:54 > 0:04:58I used to keep it for best, but now I never go anywhere without it.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Thank you. - It makes you look positively regal.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Oh!

0:05:02 > 0:05:05You do know that this is the exact same handbag that the Duchess of...

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Windsor.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Well, you have mentioned it a couple of times.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11Oh!

0:05:11 > 0:05:13So how long have we got you?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'm not entirely sure yet, which reminds me...

0:05:16 > 0:05:17..I have a train to catch.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- But we've hardly seen you. - I'm meeting Monty in London.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23He's there on business, but I should be back tomorrow. Sid...

0:05:24 > 0:05:25She runs me ragged.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Yes, when you're not lounging by the pool with a beer in your hand.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29It gets hot out there.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31You've got to keep cool. It's health and safety.

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Is everything all right?

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Absolutely.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Ta-ta.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52From the look of undisguised loathing on your face,

0:05:52 > 0:05:53I take it you remember me.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55- What do you want? - A moment of your time.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm catching a train.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58- To see your husband?- Yes.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01To tell him about your lover, Benedict Northam?

0:06:04 > 0:06:06I don't know what you're talking about.

0:06:06 > 0:06:07"Call me an old romantic,

0:06:07 > 0:06:11"but I don't think anything should stand in the way of our love.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- "I understand this would be the most terrifying thing..."- Stop.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18It was very moving. I almost shed a tear.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20I'm not surprised you said yes.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23You said it several times, in fact,

0:06:23 > 0:06:26during the rest of your stay in his room that afternoon.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Would you like to see the transcript?- Why?

0:06:29 > 0:06:30I'll explain everything in the car.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Trust me, it's in your best interests.

0:07:11 > 0:07:12A Soviet Spy?

0:07:12 > 0:07:16We've been tracking him for months. His diplomatic missions are a cover.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18So why haven't you had him arrested?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Two weeks ago, we discovered an infiltrator

0:07:20 > 0:07:24at the Ministry of Defence - one of our scientists.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28Under interrogation, he confessed to photographing certain blueprints.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31We believe that Benedict will take possession of that film tomorrow

0:07:31 > 0:07:34at an arts fundraiser he's holding at his house.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37You want me to be YOUR spy.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Duplicity is one of your strengths, is it not?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44If you see an opportunity,

0:07:44 > 0:07:48you're to replace the original film with this duplicate.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49It contains misinformation,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52it'll have them chasing their tails for months.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Bring the original to me.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Benedict is not a traitor.

0:07:56 > 0:07:57There's only one way for you to find out.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00You can't blackmail me into doing your dirty work

0:08:00 > 0:08:01every time it suits you.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05My dear, the stakes for you are far higher

0:08:05 > 0:08:07- than your reputation and marriage. - Meaning?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Meaning that if you don't co-operate, it might give us

0:08:10 > 0:08:13cause to suspect you of collusion with the enemy.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16I would hate to see your pretty face distended at the end of a rope.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Now, be a good girl, do your job.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24If not for me, then for Queen and country.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Yes? - I'm looking for Benedict Northam.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Have you got an appointment?

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Appointment?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Felicia!

0:08:54 > 0:08:56I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Surprise!

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Have I come at a bad time? - No, not at all.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Sir, we still have to finalise the details for the fundraiser.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07The guest lists, the catering...

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Well, I rely entirely on your judgement, Ms Winslow.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I suddenly find myself preoccupied.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Yes, of course.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17My private secretary.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- HE WHISPERS:- She's madly in love with me.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Naturally.

0:09:21 > 0:09:22Not here.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24You haven't told Monty.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27He was tied up in meetings. He couldn't see me.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Well, send him a telegram.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31"I'm leaving you. Stop. Marriage over. Stop."

0:09:33 > 0:09:34This isn't a joke.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I'm sorry.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Oh, what's wrong?

0:09:51 > 0:09:52Nothing.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55I can always tell when your smile doesn't reach your eyes.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59I don't know whether to find that romantic or...

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Or what?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Unsettling that you observe me so closely.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06I can't help myself.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Cold feet?

0:10:09 > 0:10:11How do I know that I can trust you?

0:10:11 > 0:10:12I would never betray you.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Well, those are just words. They don't mean anything.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22And what about that? Does that mean anything?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26If you think one kiss can just magically...

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- All night? - Well, the bed's not been slept in.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43He's got her up to no good, I guarantee it.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46I say call the police.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Police? What are you all doing here?

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Where have you been?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52London. I told you.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55We were worried about you.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I saw you leave the station with Daniel Whittaker.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Lady Felicia, what's going on?

0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's a personal matter, Father.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Oh, between you and MI5? - Are you in danger?

0:11:04 > 0:11:05Of course not.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Then why do you look so uneasy?

0:11:07 > 0:11:10I appreciate your concern, all of you,

0:11:10 > 0:11:12but I would ask that you don't pry any further.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14We are not prying.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16We are trying to help.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Why? So you can gossip it all over Kembleford?

0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'm sorry. It's been a trying morning.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27But I don't need your help

0:11:27 > 0:11:30and, at the risk of sounding rude, I'd rather be alone.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32I have a fundraiser to attend this evening

0:11:32 > 0:11:35and I need...40 winks.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I'll go alone. I'll be less conspicuous.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Says the man in a cassock.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Well, I'm not waiting in the car if my aunt is in danger.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Me neither, in case you need some muscle.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21- Muscle?!- Well, in that case,

0:12:21 > 0:12:24I'm not staying here like a lost lemon.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYS

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- BACKGROUND CHATTER - I'm so glad you could make it.

0:12:38 > 0:12:39You know how fond I am of the arts.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Three more donations, almost £500 in total.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48Splendid.

0:12:49 > 0:12:50Just excuse me for a moment.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01You can't keep your eyes off him, can you?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05How do you know Mr Northam?

0:13:06 > 0:13:10I guarantee, it'll be worth a fortune after I'm dead.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Oh, it's a shame it isn't true while you're alive.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Well?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17That's not really any of your business.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20This man is one of the greatest sculptors I have ever met,

0:13:20 > 0:13:25and yet he insists on giving me the ugliest creation he can muster.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27What can I say? I'm a sadist.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30I do hope you'll give it pride of place.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Put this in my study,

0:13:33 > 0:13:35- under a blanket! - THEY CHUCKLE

0:13:41 > 0:13:43What are you doing here?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- We were concerned for your safety. - Then please leave.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47So you are in trouble?

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Let's just get you out of here. - I am perfectly safe!

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I know Daniel Whittaker. He's a man on a crusade.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54That makes him dangerous.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58I don't disagree that he is a loathsome human being,

0:13:58 > 0:14:00but this is more complicated than you understand.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02He's blackmailing you.

0:14:03 > 0:14:08Will you all please just...go away!

0:14:09 > 0:14:11- We cannot leave her here.- Agreed.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13We'll split up, keep an eye on.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18Thank you so much for coming.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Ah, another tally, Ms Winslow?

0:14:30 > 0:14:31I know who you are.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Excuse me?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35I've known for months.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- I don't know what you're talking... - A spy.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39An enemy agent.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Can I help it if I accidentally

0:14:42 > 0:14:44overhear your telephone conversations?

0:14:44 > 0:14:48And what exactly is it you think you've heard, Ms Winslow?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52It's not me you have to worry about.

0:14:52 > 0:14:53It's her...

0:14:54 > 0:14:55..your floozy.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00She's after whatever it is you've got hidden in that statue.

0:15:01 > 0:15:02She's betraying you.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05I want to join you.

0:15:07 > 0:15:08Your cause.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14I was trying to help!

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Who are you working for?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01The Russians? MI5?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03So it's true.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05You're a traitor!

0:16:06 > 0:16:10What were you looking for in that statue? Answer me.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Don't test me, Felicia.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30MI5.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37I'm afraid this is Mr Northam's private study.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I won't be a moment.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I just wish to ensure my glorious work of art is displayed

0:16:42 > 0:16:45with the prominence it so richly deserves.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58I tried to stop him.

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Is this some kind of joke?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01It's not a joke.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Put that thing down or I'll call the police.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Yes, Mr Northam.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16What's going on?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19He's a Soviet Spy.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21What?

0:18:13 > 0:18:17No, it's not my blood. We need to leave. Now.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Sidney, my bag...

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Excuse me. Excuse me.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Oh, my Lord!

0:18:28 > 0:18:30- I'm all right. - Your head is bleeding.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31We are taking you to hospital.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36- No!- Mrs McCarthy, please find Bunty. We are going home.- Yes.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Keep this safe.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47WOMAN SCREAMS

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Alfred Lane.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57He was a sculptor.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Is this one of his works?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02I believe so.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Looks like someone wasn't too fond of it.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07I doubt that was the motive for his murder, Sergeant.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08Oh, I don't know, sir.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11You know what some of those art critics are like.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Mr Whittaker!

0:19:12 > 0:19:17Sergeant. Daniel Whittaker, MI5. I'm taking charge of this investigation.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Excuse me?

0:19:24 > 0:19:27It's not here. Search the house and everyone in it.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28No-one's to leave.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Would you mind telling me what's going on?- What happened here?

0:19:30 > 0:19:32I'm the one asking the questions.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Either cooperate, or I'll have you back in uniform before you know what's hit you.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Do you understand?

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Yes, sir.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42And you are?

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Benedict Northam's personal secretary.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46How personal?

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Our relationship is purely professional.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51And where is your employer now?

0:19:51 > 0:19:56The last time I saw him he was...with a lady friend.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Felicia Montague? Bring her in.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01You think she did it?

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Well, as far as I'm concerned, she's your prime suspect. Now find her.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Sir.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23What's on it?

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Something worth killing for.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28What happened in that study?

0:20:30 > 0:20:31Who killed that man?

0:20:32 > 0:20:35I don't know.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36I can't...

0:20:36 > 0:20:38KNOCKING

0:21:02 > 0:21:03How cosy.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05We're just having a nightcap.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07We're looking for Lady Felicia.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Well, she's in Northern Rhodesia.

0:21:10 > 0:21:11Apparently not.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16We've checked the Montague House and the presbytery...

0:21:16 > 0:21:19And thought perhaps she could be hiding here.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Hiding?

0:21:21 > 0:21:23She's wanted, for murder.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Holy Mother!

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Well, that is surprising, but I'm sure Lady Felicia...

0:21:29 > 0:21:32She's the prime suspect, according to MI5.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34We haven't seen her.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Witnesses say there was a priest at the party.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Lot of us about.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43At parties?

0:21:43 > 0:21:45You'd be surprised.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54If she contacts you, you are to inform us immediately. Understand?

0:21:55 > 0:21:57I'll show you out.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05DOOR CLOSES

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Whittaker wants that film.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41I have been trying to talk her out of it, but will she listen?

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Nice dress, Aunt Fliss.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Not quite my style, but...

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Humble apologies if my wardrobe isn't up to your haute couture standard.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49It's quite lovely,

0:22:49 > 0:22:52and has the distinct advantage of not being covered in blood.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Thank you, Bunty.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Talk you out of what?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00I've decided to give Whittaker the film.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Once he has it, my part in his scheme is over.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05You don't know that for certain.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Do you remember what happened to me? Locked up. False charges.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09You can not trust him.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Perhaps I should speak to him first.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14That's exactly what I said.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17I appreciate your concern, but I've involved you all long enough.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20I got myself into this. I'll get myself out.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22- I think you're forgetting something. - What?

0:23:22 > 0:23:23You're not in this alone.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Keep an eye on that. I won't be long.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37Father Brown! I was wondering when you'd turn up.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39I wouldn't want to let you down.

0:24:39 > 0:24:44If I recall, you were rather helpful during our last encounter.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Perhaps you'll prove just as useful this time.- I do hope so.

0:24:47 > 0:24:48Where is she?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Haven't the foggiest.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52I'm going to assume you're lying.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54That would be uncharitable.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Does she have it?

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Have what?

0:24:59 > 0:25:01And if you get what you want...?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Then it's all over. Lady Felicia is a free woman.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07As opposed to what she is now? Your puppet?

0:25:07 > 0:25:11Then cut the strings, Father. Give me that film.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Excuse me, but I've had enough.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17I've been here all night, as have the guests.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19We've been searched and questioned. What more do you want?

0:25:21 > 0:25:23All right, let them go. Except for you.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25What?

0:25:25 > 0:25:27I'd like to discuss your relationship with

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Mr Northam at greater length.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Wait in the drawing room.

0:25:30 > 0:25:31This is unacceptable.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Feel free to contact our complaints department.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39We haven't finished.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Lady Felicia's innocent. That's all you need to know.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Innocent of murder, perhaps, but little else.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49Is that what this is about? Your judgment of her?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51It's about protecting this country.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52At any cost?

0:25:52 > 0:25:55There are casualties in every war, Father.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57Yes. I know.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02I was there, standing next to some of the most honourable men

0:26:02 > 0:26:03I've ever met.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Are you questioning my honour?

0:26:06 > 0:26:08No, I'm questioning your motive.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Are you an honourable officer doing his duty

0:26:12 > 0:26:17or are you a zealot, cursed with tunnel-vision, blinding you...

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Lessons on zealotry from a Catholic priest.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22I do hope you see the irony.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Blinding you to the humanity in others.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30Then I'll leave it to you, shall I, to scream,

0:26:30 > 0:26:32"Oh, the humanity, the humanity..."

0:26:32 > 0:26:35when the Soviets drop nuclear bombs on our cities?

0:26:36 > 0:26:38You're terrified.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40We should all be terrified.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49There's nothing better for the nerves

0:26:49 > 0:26:51than a good, strong cup of tea.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53And a nab of whisky, I find.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Ah!- OK.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58CREAKING

0:26:58 > 0:26:59Father?

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Don't take another step.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12I'm not a spy. At least, not the way you think I am.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Then who are you?

0:27:16 > 0:27:18I say we turn him in.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22For once, maybe Inspector Mallory will come in handy.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25I work for a secret department within the Ministry of Defence.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Even Whittaker doesn't know about it.

0:27:27 > 0:27:28It's the truth.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Or a lie from a cold-blooded traitor who just murdered an innocent man.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34Alfred was my friend.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37The one you were pointing the gun at? As you were me?

0:27:37 > 0:27:40- I didn't know whether I could trust you.- Well, the feeling's mutual.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- I didn't kill him.- Then who did?

0:27:44 > 0:27:45It was my devoted secretary.

0:27:55 > 0:27:56No!

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Don't worry, Mr Northam.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Give that to me.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05Don't worry. I'll take care of everything.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Lara!- We're in this together.

0:28:19 > 0:28:20Felicia.

0:28:26 > 0:28:27Oh...

0:28:27 > 0:28:29I was going to go after her, when...

0:28:29 > 0:28:32When you realised that I had this.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37If there's one thing I know about Whittaker,

0:28:37 > 0:28:39he uses the oldest tricks in the book.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42I couldn't be sure whether you had the original, but you have.

0:28:42 > 0:28:43It is, right?

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Is that why you're here? For this?

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Or for me?

0:28:50 > 0:28:51Both.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Don't listen to a word he says.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55I know a player when I see one.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59I wouldn't betray my country. And I wouldn't betray you, either.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02I love you both.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25Mr Whittaker?

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Wait there.

0:29:46 > 0:29:50- Where do you think you're going?- I'm a busy woman. You have my details.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54- I saw you take the film from the planter.- Your handbag, please.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01- Who are you working for?- I already told you. Benedict Northam.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04But stealing government secrets for your boss -

0:30:04 > 0:30:06is that within your job description?

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Loyalty is everything in a personal assistant.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11Go ahead.

0:30:11 > 0:30:12Take it to him.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14We promise not to follow you.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23What aren't you telling me?

0:30:25 > 0:30:26Tell me!

0:30:26 > 0:30:28The film's a fake.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30- What are you doing? - Saving your life.

0:30:30 > 0:30:31Is this true?

0:30:31 > 0:30:34- I don't know what he's talking about.- They were switched.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36You stole a duplicate.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Where's the real one?

0:30:44 > 0:30:45Get in the car.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50Stay back.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Well, even if he does turn out to be a traitor, I have to say,

0:31:10 > 0:31:12he is gorgeous.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Thank you, Bunty, that's just what I needed to hear.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19Obviously, I can't condone anyone who would betray their wedding vows,

0:31:19 > 0:31:24but when he declared his love for you, it was like Bogart and Bacall.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26- Oh!- I do not believe this!

0:31:26 > 0:31:29This guy flashes his lashes and you all fall for it hook, line and sinker!

0:31:30 > 0:31:34- May we have a moment alone?- No, you can't!- It's all right, Sidney.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'm hunting the leader of a spy ring.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50No-one knows his identity other than he's a businessman with

0:31:50 > 0:31:53ties to the Soviet Union. I need the film to infiltrate his network.

0:31:53 > 0:31:54Without that, I...

0:31:54 > 0:31:57I was about to give up my whole life for a lie!

0:31:58 > 0:32:02How I feel about you isn't a lie.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04I've loved you...

0:32:04 > 0:32:06Oh, spare me the flowery declaration!

0:32:06 > 0:32:08We both know why you're here - you just said so yourself.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12How important is it to you? Enough to rip it from my hand?

0:32:12 > 0:32:15- And what if I didn't let go? Would you beat it from me?- I wouldn't...

0:32:15 > 0:32:18How do I know? How do I know anything about you?

0:32:18 > 0:32:20I would never force anything from you.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26- I want to believe you.- But?

0:32:26 > 0:32:29You lie for a living.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31PHONE RINGS

0:32:35 > 0:32:37You all right?

0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Hello.- Mrs McCarthy.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Father Brown! - Please listen carefully.

0:32:42 > 0:32:46I'm being held at gunpoint by Mr Northam's secretary.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49Please put Lady Felicia on the telephone.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53He's being held at gunpoint. He wants to talk to you.

0:32:55 > 0:32:56Father Brown?

0:32:59 > 0:33:02The film in exchange for your friend's life. Understand?

0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Yes.- There's a valley south of Hambleston.

0:33:05 > 0:33:09- A crop of woods at the peak. Know it?- Yes.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Come alone.

0:33:11 > 0:33:12Thank you.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53- You all right?- Give it to me.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01FOOTSTEPS

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Lara.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06You found me!

0:34:06 > 0:34:10- I never lost you from sight. - She stole the film!

0:34:10 > 0:34:12I got it back for you.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15- I saved your mission. - You risked everything for me.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18I killed for you.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22I'm sorry if I ever underappreciated your talents, Lara.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24I believe that belongs to me, too.

0:34:30 > 0:34:34Wait a minute... How did you find me?

0:34:36 > 0:34:38How did you know where I...

0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Traitor.- I don't understand.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46No! You love me!

0:34:46 > 0:34:49I hate to be the one to break it to you, Miss Winslow, but you are deluded.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50No!!!

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Don't shoot! He's British Intelligence!

0:34:58 > 0:35:00No!

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Don't worry - it's a flesh wound.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04He's no good for interrogation if he's dead.

0:35:11 > 0:35:12Find him.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16How did you find us?

0:35:16 > 0:35:20Mr Whittaker had us combing the area. I spotted Miss Winslow's car.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24- I believe I was the one who spotted her car.- If you say so, sir.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Inspector Mallory, arrest this woman for offences under the Official Secrets Act.- What?

0:35:28 > 0:35:31That is entirely unnecessary.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35I have no doubt that in the ensuing trial, your husband and the world

0:35:35 > 0:35:39will be stunned to discover all of your dirty little secrets.

0:36:06 > 0:36:11- No-one is to see her, Padre. - Orders from above, Father.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18We found Lara Winslow. Shot in the head. Film stolen.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21I think we can safely assume this is Northam's work.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23Naturally, I will be pressing for

0:36:23 > 0:36:26- the maximum sentence for Lady Felicia.- Lady Felicia is innocent.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30- She passed top secret information. - No, she didn't.

0:36:30 > 0:36:35- This is the original. I switched it for a duplicate.- Why on Earth...

0:36:35 > 0:36:37In case anyone tried to steal it.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41So...

0:36:41 > 0:36:42Lady Felicia.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45You'll cut the strings?

0:36:45 > 0:36:46If the film is genuine.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55Then again, she pushed Northam out of my line of fire.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59- He only escaped because of her. - She was there because of you.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03Sorry, Father. No dice. A judge and jury will decide her fate.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13You've got what you wanted! Now let her go.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15It would be the honourable thing to do.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18Is this the part where you tell me I'm lacking in humanity?

0:37:18 > 0:37:20- I never said that. - I will not be patronised.

0:37:20 > 0:37:24- I was not trying to patronise you. - Then what?- Trying to understand.

0:37:24 > 0:37:25Understand?

0:37:25 > 0:37:28We see things only through the clouded lens of our own

0:37:28 > 0:37:30perspective, then we are doomed.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33Then understand this - we are fighting a war!

0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Toby James.- What?

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Young man I knew during the war.

0:37:43 > 0:37:49- I haven't got time for your old war stories.- Sweet, gentle boy.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51Didn't belong there. None of us did.

0:37:53 > 0:37:58And then when he fell...for one brief, terrible moment,

0:37:58 > 0:38:02the only thing I felt in my heart was hatred for the enemy.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07So I understand, Mr Whittaker. I really do.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14But...then I thought about the boy that had killed him.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18Same age, probably.

0:38:18 > 0:38:20How scared he was.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25And then that hatred left me.

0:38:27 > 0:38:32I do believe that we can be so much better than our basest feelings.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35Don't you?

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Welcome home!

0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Oh, thank you! This is lovely! - So no more trouble!

0:38:45 > 0:38:48- No more secret missions. - And no more dramas.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51I'm headed back to Northern Rhodesia with Monty next week.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53- No more dramas.- Oh, how dull!

0:38:53 > 0:38:55Kembleford is never dull!

0:38:55 > 0:38:57Which reminds me,

0:38:57 > 0:39:01Sid, I have a very long list of jobs for you at the presbytery.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05- Oh, thank you very much, Father. - Any news of...

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Well, I'm sure he's all right.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10He looked like the kind of man who knew how to take care of himself.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Telegram, my lady.- Excuse me, Mrs M.

0:39:14 > 0:39:15Thank you, Hornby.

0:40:19 > 0:40:20Is your answer still yes?

0:40:24 > 0:40:26Did you kill Lara?

0:40:26 > 0:40:27No.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30The film's gone. Mission's a failure.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35I feel at least partially responsible. I'm sorry.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39Is that why you've come? To apologise?

0:40:40 > 0:40:42I came because I had to see you.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45You still haven't answered my question.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50This might sound strange, but...

0:40:53 > 0:40:57..you've always been my path not taken.

0:40:59 > 0:41:04It's tortured me, I think, without my even realising it, and now...

0:41:04 > 0:41:05It doesn't.

0:41:07 > 0:41:13Let's just say the reality was a lot more dangerous than I'd anticipated.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17- I'd give it all up.- And do what?

0:41:19 > 0:41:21- A desk job?- Yes.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Why not?- Because you'd hate it!

0:41:26 > 0:41:29- And eventually, you'd hate me. - Never!

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Oh, I'm no picnic!

0:41:32 > 0:41:33And you love what you do.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38You live for it.

0:41:38 > 0:41:39Admit it.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44I can't take that away from you.

0:41:44 > 0:41:45Felicia...

0:41:45 > 0:41:47My answer is no.

0:41:48 > 0:41:49It has to be.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Let's just remember this for what it was.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59What it is.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Something beautiful.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06So beautiful...

0:42:06 > 0:42:08that it couldn't last.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12So beautiful that we could only hold on to it for a moment.

0:42:14 > 0:42:19But that even that...even the briefest of moments...

0:42:19 > 0:42:21Can last a lifetime.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18Comrade.
