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.

0:14:33 > 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.

0:18:13 > 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.
