0:00:05 > 0:00:09WALTZ MUSIC PLAYING
0:00:20 > 0:00:21There she is!
0:00:21 > 0:00:26Walgrave, get your claws off this vision of beauty.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28You can't possibly appreciate her.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Behave!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32And why break the habit of a lifetime?
0:00:33 > 0:00:34We're practising.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Well, I want to discuss a little wager with him.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Why don't you run along and help Merryn settle into her room?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Oliver...- It's all right. Thank you, Lucy.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48You look exquisite.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50I know.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56So, here's the deal...
0:00:58 > 0:01:01..if I win the competition, then you give up dancing.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Let me have my fiance back.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08She's done enough charity work being your dance partner.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09And if I win?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Well, then I'll give you something money can't buy.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15I'll tell you who took your sight.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48I must say, Lady Johnton...
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Call me Lady Rose.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I must say, Lady Rose,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54it's very generous of you to help with the appeal.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Oh, not at all.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Last year, we donated the proceeds to Major Peterson's
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Historical Re-enactment Society.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03At least a church roof has a purpose.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06We have two days of classes
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and practice sessions planned,
0:02:09 > 0:02:10and then the competition
0:02:10 > 0:02:11is on Sunday night.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Oh.- Oh, a sjambok!- Indeed.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18A what?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21African whip made of hippopotamus hide.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23How troubled should I be that you know that?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Where did you get it?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I picked up all of these things on my travels.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- I'll show you to the ballroom.- Oh.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I do hope you'll all be joining in.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Oh, you obviously have never seen Father Brown dance.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Not my natural form of expression, I admit.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Miss Windermere, you look like a ballroom dancer.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Oh, I'm afraid I've always found it rather tedious.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Follow me.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14On the other hand...
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Somebody has perked up!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Alexander is one of my star pupils.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I know it's not the done thing for a lady to ask for a dance,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29but I wondered if you could make my being here worthwhile?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I'd love to dance with you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Terrific.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Can you?- Of course.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Tell me when we're approaching the edge.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh, turn. Turn now!
0:03:53 > 0:03:54You don't need to shout.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59So, when do you start?
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Three weeks' time. I'll be teaching the new second form.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Mm! Sounds a hoot.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I just felt like I needed to do something a bit more
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- meaningful with my life.- Hm.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Where did you get that?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21It was a present. Do you like it?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I think it's important to always look your best, don't you?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now, there's a gentleman that's bound to dance with you.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Who?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Holy Mother!
0:04:51 > 0:04:52You're a wonderful dancer.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54So are you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55- What's your name?- Bunty.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I'm Alexander.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59How did you learn to dance like that?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Patient teachers.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05- ANOTHER SONG STARTS - Shall we?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Oh, yes.- Alexander!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10This is my competition partner, Lucy Dawes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Bunty Windermere.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14A pleasure. Alexander, we must practise.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Oliver has been putting in the hours, and we need to do the same.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Yes. I'm sorry, Bunty. Thank you for the dance.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Isn't that Merryn Tyrell?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Yes.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Oh, such a sad business about her father.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I guess I should take you for a spin.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Lucy!
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Give me a moment.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54What's that? I didn't give it to you.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Oliver, we're practising!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I buy you nice jewellery - expensive jewellery.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'll wear what I like!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Everything all right?
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Oh!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Are you all right?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Just lead me to the door.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21I can find my way from there.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32What's wrong?
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Why are you wearing that?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It goes with my eyes.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Show some respect.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Everything is just a game to you, isn't it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Oh, you've become so worthy since you took that job.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00You wouldn't catch Lucy doing something so vulgar. Shall we?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Where are you going?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Anywhere but here. The girls are in a strop.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15How is Alexander?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Embarrassed.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Father Brown, take me in a close hold.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22It's time to get you dancing.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Now, count one to four.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32One, two, three, four.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36In time to the music. And..one...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Lucy? Are you there?
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Thank you.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I did warn you I'm not a natural.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Well, she is tenacious - I'll give her that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Yes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Mrs McCarthy, would you do me the honour?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28How can I say no?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31It's like all my Christmases have come at once.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Help! I need help!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Sergeant, what are all these people doing here?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Ballroom dancing competition, Sir.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Why were you here?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Um... Go through, Constable.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Oh, no!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I had an aunt that taught me, Sir.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Look, please don't tell the lads down at the station.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I always suspected you had a dark secret, but this...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's bad enough my sergeant thinks he's Fred Astaire
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- without finding you in here, Padre!- Inspector.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39You should know the drill by now. Crime scene, get out, comprende?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Downstairs, she was wearing a necklace. Now she isn't.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44So robbery was the motive. Very good. Now go!
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Sir, the gentleman here discovered the body.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Please, I need to tell you something.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I heard the killer leaving.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56But you didn't see anything?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58I'm blind.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04So we're looking for someone with feet at a dancing competition.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Very helpful!- I know who did this.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07We'll take your statement later.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Now, if you'll excuse me, I've a murder to solve.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Inspector...
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Penelope, why don't you introduce me to your new friend?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18This is Father Brown.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Alexander Walgrave.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Pleased to meet you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Now, why don't we go somewhere quiet,
0:10:25 > 0:10:26and you can tell me what you heard?
0:10:35 > 0:10:40After I fell, I needed a few moments to gather myself, so I sat out here.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44It's hard to identify someone from their footsteps,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48but there is one person whose sound is entirely distinctive.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Lady Rose - she walks with a stick.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I heard her leaving Lucy's bedroom.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I realised Lucy must be in her room.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Lucy?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I was worried that she might blame herself for my fall,
0:11:09 > 0:11:10so I went to reassure her.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Lady Rose must have been the last person to see her alive.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24We have to make Mallory listen.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Oh, please, Inspector, these people are my guests!
0:11:30 > 0:11:31And one of them is a killer.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Until we find the murder weapon, no-one is going anywhere.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Thank you, Sir.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Don't even think about laying your paws on me, Sergeant!
0:11:40 > 0:11:41No pockets. You're all right.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46This can't be happening, not to my Lucy.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Sir.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Is this the necklace the deceased was wearing?
0:11:54 > 0:11:55She had a name.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Did you remove this from her body?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04No, I took it from Lucy's bag - the black one in the corner.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- LADY ROSE:- But that's my bag.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08What?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11After all I've done for you, this is how you repay me?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Lies and false accusations?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I thought it was Lucy's.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18It got knocked over, and I saw the necklace in it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Why did you take it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I thought it was a gift from one of her admirers.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Everyone wanted her, and she loved rubbing my face in it.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I just thought I would take it to teach her a lesson.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34So you stole the necklace to punish her?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36No! She was my fiance. I loved her.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39You don't know the meaning of the word!
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm arresting you for the murder of Lucy Dawes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46You're not obliged to say anything, unless you wish to do so,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49but whatever you say may be put in writing and given in evidence.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00FATHER BROWN: You wanted to talk to us.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I've no love for Oliver, but he didn't do this.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05I know what I heard.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Lady Rose left the bedroom just before I found Lucy's body.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12But we've no way of proving that.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17After I lost my sight, Lucy fought to help me rebuild my life.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22She gave me back my confidence, even helped me learn to dance again.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I've no doubt that she's meant a lot to you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- But that doesn't...- I have to get justice for her.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29I can't do it alone.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35How can we help?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Help me gather evidence to convince the police.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Do you have any idea where we should look?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46I think so. I'll need Bunty's help.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Very well. And I will talk to Lady Rose.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Just be careful.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Lady Rose is at the heart of the local establishment.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58She'll turn on anyone who displeases her.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yes, I think we saw that already in the ballroom.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01I'm not scared of her.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02You should be.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Sergeant Goodfellow's there.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I'll get rid of him.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Sorry, Sir, you can't come this way.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26I'm looking for my room.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Well, it's not down here.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I don't know where to go. I'm lost.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33It may be on the next landing.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Here, let me help you.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come!
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Am I intruding?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I can't face telephoning Lucy's parents.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Ah.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12What comfort could I possibly offer?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Do you know them well?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Oh, we have some shared business interests.- Oh?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Nothing serious - just the idle rich passing the time.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24This must be a terrible shock for you.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I don't have any children of my own,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30so the young dancers are very dear to me.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I love having them come to stay,
0:15:33 > 0:15:37but the thought that Oliver could do such a thing - it sickens me.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38You think he is responsible?
0:15:38 > 0:15:44Oh, yes! The liar certainly didn't take Lucy's necklace from my bag.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I hear Miss Dawes was a remarkable young woman.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55I gather she helped Mr Walgrave after he lost his sight.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58She spent countless hours with him. Nobody could have done more.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Do you know what happened to Alexander?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I'm sorry, I should make this telephone call.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09It won't get any easier.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Of course. Thank you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- KNOCK ON DOOR - Come in.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Bunty.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- How could you tell?- Your perfume.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Did you find it?- Yes.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Was there a case with it?- Yes.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31And the name on it?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Westwood & Peel, I think.- I knew it!
0:16:33 > 0:16:35What does it mean?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39For years, there have been rumours that Lady Rose
0:16:39 > 0:16:41had a child out of wedlock.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43They say she paid off the couple who took the child in
0:16:43 > 0:16:47with items from a very exclusive jeweller -
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Westwood & Peel.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54So you think Lucy is Lady Rose's illegitimate daughter?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Suppose Lucy had been threatening to tell the truth?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00The scandal would ruin Lady Rose's reputation,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02so that gives her a motive.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05How could she do this?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I should, um... I should find Father Brown.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Thank you for coming.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35How are you coping in here?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I can't sleep a wink.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Every time I close my eyes, I can see Lucy's face.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43You're still in shock.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I know we had our ups and downs,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51that I could be difficult,
0:17:51 > 0:17:52but so could she.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56You whispered something to her yesterday,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58just before Mr Walgrave's fall.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Whatever you said upset her.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Just a lover's tiff, nothing important.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10OLIVER CLEARS THROAT
0:18:10 > 0:18:12The whole God thing...
0:18:14 > 0:18:15..I don't, um...
0:18:18 > 0:18:22But...would you say a...
0:18:23 > 0:18:24I will say a prayer for her.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Can I ask something else of you?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Would you deliver a message for me?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I'm a priest, Mr Dewitt, not a courier.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43What message?
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Sergeant, do you know how Mr Walgrave lost his sight?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56When I mentioned it to Lady Rose, she was evasive.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Mm. Reckon she feels guilty. Happened in her house, you see.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- When? - Three years ago.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Her top pupils were all staying over.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09One night, Alexander couldn't sleep.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12He went downstairs to get himself a drink.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16But as he was heading back to his bedroom, he came across an intruder.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Before he could raise the alarm, he was pushed down the stairs.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23It was a miracle he didn't break his neck.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27But when he came round, he couldn't see a thing.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30The doctors said he'd hurt the part of his brain that lets you see.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Did he remember what happened?
0:19:31 > 0:19:32No.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Lady Rose found a broken window round the back of the house.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Did the intruder take anything?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41No. He must have panicked, got out as soon as he could.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Padre!
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Are you here to learn a pas de deux from our resident Nutcracker?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54No, just passing. Good day.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Fetch me a cup of tea and a Garibaldi, will you, Twinkletoes?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Why didn't the intruder take anything?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13That house is full of valuable things.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16He could have filled a bag without even going upstairs.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Well, the dancing competition is going ahead.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24That hardly seems appropriate.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27At least it gives us an opportunity
0:20:27 > 0:20:30to go back to the house and ask questions.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33And it gives you an opportunity to see your latest admirer.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I have male friends, you know.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40And I have fairies at the bottom of my garden.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44He's a lovely man,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47but nothing romantic is going to happen between us.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Because he's blind?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51No!
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Maybe.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59If we are going to ingratiate ourselves with the dancers,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02then you do realise we will have to participate?
0:21:02 > 0:21:03MRS MCCARTHY CHUCKLES
0:21:03 > 0:21:04No!
0:21:06 > 0:21:10And one, two, three. One, two, three.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Perfect. There you go, you're waltzing.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Ow! My foot!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Perhaps we should take a break.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25We were surprised to hear that you're going ahead
0:21:25 > 0:21:26with the competition.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Well, I discussed it with Lucy's parents,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34and we agreed that we would dedicate the event to her memory.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Oh, that's a nice idea.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38How are the others coping?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Must have been a blow for Miss Tyrell,
0:21:40 > 0:21:44coming so soon after her father's death.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- I don't think that Merryn and Lucy were close.- Why not?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I don't think that Lucy was happy
0:21:51 > 0:21:53when Merryn started dancing with her fiance.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57If it bothered her,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00why didn't she start dancing with him again herself?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Lucy was committed to helping rehabilitate Alexander.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09But I also think she was used to being the centre of attention.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12She must have known that somebody else would end up
0:22:12 > 0:22:13dancing with Oliver?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Yes, but I think that she thought Merryn was enjoying it
0:22:16 > 0:22:17a little too much.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Were they more than dance partners?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Who can say?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Once the others have gone to bed, we'll be able to explore properly.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Bunty can't stay here with a killer on the loose!
0:22:32 > 0:22:33I'll protect her with my life.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I can look after myself.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Oh, Oliver Dewitt sent a message.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41He told me to tell you that the wager is still on.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Do you know what he means?
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Alexander?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51We had a bet on the outcome of the competition.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54If he won, then I agreed I'd give up dancing.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55And if you won?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57He said he could tell me who blinded me.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59An intruder, I gather?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Yes.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02And how does Oliver know who this person was?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05He met a man in the Red Lion who claimed to be responsible.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07And do you really believe that?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11If there's even a chance that it's true, then I have to know.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15And what will you do when you find this man?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Forgive him. I've come to terms with what happened.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Perhaps he hasn't.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I can't see how your bet with Oliver can go ahead
0:23:23 > 0:23:24when he's still locked up.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I rather think that is the real message.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32He wants you to find the killer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Once we find proof that Lady Rose was responsible,
0:23:36 > 0:23:37they'll set him free.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40And maybe then he'll tell me what I need to know.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's here.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11This is where Lady Rose keeps everything important.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Anything incriminating won't be easy to find.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Good point.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I wish I could help.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31You are.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Ah!- What is it?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Letters.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Lucy is threatening to reveal that Lady Rose is her mother.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59She was blackmailing her.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01This is exactly what we've been looking for.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19BROKEN GLASS TINKLES
0:25:19 > 0:25:22What's wrong?
0:25:28 > 0:25:29BICYCLE BELL RINGS
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Good morning.- Father!
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I heard you'd returned home, I came to see how you were getting on.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Mother needed me.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Ah. How is your mother coping with the death of your father?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Mrs McCarthy said you'd moved out here.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58We couldn't afford to carry on living the way we used to.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I'm sorry to hear that.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03My father made some bad investments before he passed away.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05We sold off what we could, but it wasn't enough.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Which is why you took the job at the school.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I saw Oliver Dewitt yesterday.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- How is he?- Fearful.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- You were his dancing partner? - Yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Did Miss Dawes mind?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27You mean, did I kill Lucy so I could have Oliver for myself?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29SHE LAUGHS
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Oliver is one of the most selfish people I've ever met.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I don't know how Lucy put up with him.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I only tolerated him because he was a good dancer.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42The police think he's responsible for what happened.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44He'd faint at the first sight of blood.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Mind you, the way the police are going,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48we'll never know who was really responsible.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Why do you say that?
0:26:50 > 0:26:55The house is full of weapons Lady Rose collected on her travels.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Why haven't they found the one that killed Lucy?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Maybe she was killed with something else?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Or perhaps they just haven't looked hard enough.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04BELL RINGS
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I should get back to her.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Of course. Thank you.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Shall we go down for breakfast?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You don't know what I look like.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Does it matter?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I could be hideous.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30You aren't to me.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35What happens to us after this weekend?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I don't tend to go in for prolonged romances.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43And you'd never make any exceptions?
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Not usually.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Did you give Xander the message?
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Yes.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58And he told me your stake in the wager.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Oh.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05You claim to have overheard a conversation about the attack
0:28:05 > 0:28:06in a pub.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10That seems like an extraordinary coincidence.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12The world is full of them.
0:28:13 > 0:28:19By all accounts, Miss Dawes wasn't a particularly altruistic type,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21except when it came to Mr Walgrave.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23She always liked a lost cause.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28I think that she was in some way responsible for what happened to him.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32And you've known it all along.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36That's outrageous.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44I don't believe you killed her, but the Inspector does.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50I may be able to help you, but only if you start being honest with me.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Now.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56She didn't mean to hurt him.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Ah...
0:29:00 > 0:29:01They got into an argument.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04He was trying to go upstairs to see Lady Rose.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06..then he shouldn't be allowed to take part.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- You mustn't tell her. - Let me past.- No!
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Lucy blocked him, but he lost his footing.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20What were they arguing about?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25She'd let slip that I'd tried to bribe one of the judges.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31And that cost him his sight?
0:29:34 > 0:29:39When we went to the hospital, he had no memory of what happened.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42We saw a way out.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47So you smashed the window to make it look as if
0:29:47 > 0:29:49an intruder had been inside the house.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Once Lady Rose found it, the police filled in the blanks.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Miss Dawes felt guilty,
0:29:57 > 0:30:01then tried to make amends by being a good friend
0:30:01 > 0:30:03to the man she had blinded.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09If Alexander had won your bet...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13..would you have told him the truth?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18You asked me what I whispered to Lucy.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24I told her about the bet.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27One way or another, she would have ensured they lost.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Because she believed you would tell.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35It was the last thing I said to her.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Will you tell Alexander?- No.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Because I'm not the one who has the opportunity to make amends.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53We should talk to the police.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55No. We need to know more.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57We don't want to make Lady Rose suspicious.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00There was broken glass in your bed, Alexander.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Good morning.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I see we had an extra guest last night.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Will you join me?
0:31:07 > 0:31:08- No, we...- Of course.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Did you sleep well?
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Oh, I think it's safe to say that the bed was rather...uncomfortable.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Is something wrong?- No.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28If Alexander had been alone, then he wouldn't have seen the glass
0:31:28 > 0:31:29and he could have been seriously hurt.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36We've seen the letters. From Lucy.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Your daughter.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41What letters? I don't have a daughter.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43That's exactly what you wanted people to think.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45How dare you?!
0:31:45 > 0:31:49We'll make sure that everyone knows what you did to silence her.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54SHE SIGHS DEEPLY
0:31:54 > 0:31:57When I was young and reckless,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59a lover passed something on to me
0:31:59 > 0:32:03which stayed in my system, and it meant that I couldn't conceive.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08So, if there's nothing else you'd like to accuse me of,
0:32:08 > 0:32:09I'd like to finish my tea.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Of course, we only have her word for it.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23There must be a piece of the puzzle we're missing.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25We'll find it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29What is it, Father? What's the matter?
0:32:31 > 0:32:36Alexander, even before you heard Oliver Dewitt's message,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38you had us investigating Lady Rose.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Because she's guilty.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41What exactly are you saying?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Everything we know about Lady Rose we know
0:32:44 > 0:32:47because of what Mr Walgrave here has told us,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50and the story about her illegitimate daughter,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53we now know to be unlikely at best.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56That's not true. We've seen the blackmail letters.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Typed and conveniently easy to find.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02And who pointed us towards them?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06This is outrageous! And I expected better from you, Father.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Come on, Alexander.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Alexander?
0:33:14 > 0:33:15I'm sorry.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21What?
0:33:24 > 0:33:25Is this true?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30You had us framing an innocent woman?
0:33:30 > 0:33:36No! I swear, I heard her leaving Lucy's bedroom.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I was sure that if we looked hard enough, we'd find real proof.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Who put the glass in your bed?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Why would you do this?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Because he wanted to spend more time with you, Bunty.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Everyone thought I was worthless because I couldn't see.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01But with you, I was useful again.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03You listened to me, you took me seriously.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Bunty, you do not have to be here.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23He lied to us, he led us down the wrong path.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Isn't that what the killer would do?
0:34:25 > 0:34:26I know you are angry with him...
0:34:26 > 0:34:29We need to stop him from hurting anyone else. He's dangerous.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I fear you may be right.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33So please, do not get left alone with him.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38WALTZ MUSIC PLAYS
0:34:53 > 0:34:54She's here.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I'm sure you've all heard about the terrible tragedy
0:35:17 > 0:35:20that happened here on Friday night.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23It is for that reason that we have decided to dedicate
0:35:23 > 0:35:26tonight's event to the memory of Lucy Dawes.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Now, to happier matters.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34The rules of the competition are simple.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37If one of the judges taps you on the shoulder,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40then please move to the side of the dance floor.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41We will begin with a waltz.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Now don't forget, one, two, three...
0:36:03 > 0:36:05SPEECH INAUDIBLE
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Why has he not been tapped on the shoulder?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43I'm afraid we didn't make the final cut.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45It's the taking part that counts.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I wondered if you'd put my mind at ease about something.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Yes?
0:36:52 > 0:36:56I was wondering why Oliver Dewitt found the necklace in your bag.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I hope you're not implying that
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I had anything to do with what happened.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03No.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06It was a busy room, anyone could have placed it in there.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Indeed.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11That cursed necklace has caused nothing but trouble.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15Lucy should never have worn it in the first place.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Was it a gift from an admirer?
0:37:18 > 0:37:20No, her father gave it to her.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24It was something we acquired as part of a recent business deal.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Now, you'll have to excuse me.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35I can hear you, Bunty.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Why are you following me?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41To stop you from hurting anyone else.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45You really think I could do something like that?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I don't know what to believe about you any more.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Then you shouldn't have come out here alone.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Congratulations to everyone who made it through to the next round,
0:37:57 > 0:37:59which will be a tango.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03I wonder if I might have a word.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05We're about to start again.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07The deal your father lost his money on.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Was it one of Lady Rose's business ventures?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Perhaps we should talk privately?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27I just don't understand how you could do that to Lady Rose.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29She killed my friend.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33I know I shouldn't have lied, but you saw how the police treated me.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34I needed your help.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36You could have been honest with me.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I know.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40And it will be one of the biggest regrets of my life.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51You must be cold out here.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Please don't be kind to me.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09When I organised your father's funeral,
0:39:09 > 0:39:13the coroner recorded his death with an open verdict.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18I've sometimes known him do this as an act of kindness...
0:39:19 > 0:39:21..for someone who has committed suicide.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Was it the shame of not providing for his family?
0:39:29 > 0:39:30I'm so sorry.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36Lady Rose deliberately gave my father a bad tip.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Then, when it ruined us,
0:39:39 > 0:39:43she swooped in with Lucy's family to buy up our assets for a pittance.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47It was all just a jolly wheeze to them.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51The necklace belonged to you?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53My mother's.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I can't imagine what you must have felt when you saw Lucy wearing it.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01She was shameless.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Rubbing my face in it.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Mr Walgrave swears he heard Lady Rose leaving the room.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11But it wasn't her, was it?
0:40:11 > 0:40:12It was you.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Lady Rose only uses the cane when she needs to walk any distance.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24When she danced with me, she left it propped against the wall.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34You knew you had to act quickly.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39And that Mr Walgrave was nearby and would recognise the sound,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42so you went to Lucy's room and you killed her.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51Then you took the necklace and made sure Mr Walgrave heard you leaving.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Returning the cane to the ballroom,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07you put the necklace in Lady Rose's bag.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Another piece of evidence against her.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14How could I know Oliver would take it?
0:41:14 > 0:41:15I know you regret it.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21You are not a bad person.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Sometimes good people do terrible things.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30You told me the police hadn't paid enough attention
0:41:30 > 0:41:32to the weapons that Lady Rose had on display.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Were you trying to point me at something?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36She's so proud of her collection.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39APPLAUSE
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Not everything is what it seems.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Shall I show you?
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Hey!
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Don't...
0:41:53 > 0:41:56She killed my father!
0:41:56 > 0:41:58This is revenge, not justice.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Let her do what she needs to.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03I probably deserve it.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Repent and the Lord will forgive you.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- I doubt that.- I don't.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I'll pay the price for killing Lucy, why not finish the job?
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Your father! Would he have wanted this?
0:42:18 > 0:42:19And your mother?
0:42:20 > 0:42:24If you kill Lady Rose, you will hang for certain.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27How will your mother live with that?
0:42:33 > 0:42:36SHE SOBS
0:42:52 > 0:42:53Alexander?
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Mr Dewitt is here, he's looking for you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:00Oh.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02He's waiting for you in the house.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04He has something he wants to tell you.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Half the guests have gone home already,
0:43:08 > 0:43:10so perhaps we should go too.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12I'll drive us.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Actually, there is something we have to do, isn't there, Mrs McCarthy?
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Is there?
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Oh, yes. Yes, there is.
0:43:20 > 0:43:21Yes.
0:43:24 > 0:43:25Well, that was subtle.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30I know you've no reason to trust me,
0:43:30 > 0:43:33but everything I felt about you was true.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36You're the most enchanting woman I've ever met.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Alexander, I can't be with you.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- Because I'm blind?- No.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Because you lied to me.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Will you do me one last favour?
