0:00:02 > 0:00:03CAT MEOWS
0:00:07 > 0:00:13Ladies and gentlemen, Reverend Father, parents, guests and boys,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16welcome to Kemble Martyrs' end-of-term fete.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20I hope you are liberally partaking of the refreshments on offer.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Now, as you know, the school has a great tradition of producing
0:00:23 > 0:00:26young men of note, honour and character.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28- AUDIENCE MEMBERS:- Hear, hear!
0:00:28 > 0:00:29Qualities which I know
0:00:29 > 0:00:32will be on display today in all our young charges,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36be they serving refreshments, competing,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40or exhibiting dazzling displays of cricket.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44And which will continue long after my imminent retirement.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52Epitomised by the school motto - Tantum optimum satis!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- AUDIENCE MEMBERS: - Tantum optimum satis!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58"Only your best will do."
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And, on that note, let the games begin!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I'm sure the headmaster's grandson will shine.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11According to Minnie Robins, he's a rising star in all things athletic.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Damned cat's in again. No business in my school.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Get someone to shoo it off. - Of course, Headmaster.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Oh, look! An egg-and-spoon race. If you're game, Father...?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I'd be delighted to cheer you on.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35But I think Mrs McCarthy may give you a run for your money.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41I'll have you know I was a champion egg-and-spooner in my day.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Oh, really? In what century?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Ah!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Ah.- Oh, sorry, Father. Did you want one?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Well, the meek will inherit the Earth,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07so I suppose a macaroon on top is a bit much to ask.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10How about one macaroon...and a handshake
0:02:10 > 0:02:14in exchange for your discretion?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Ah. As long as the discretion works both ways.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- HEADMASTER:- And now, a classic off-drive.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Very good form, though!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Let's have one of your sweep shots please, Daniel.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Come on, bails on. Quick as you can.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Afternoon.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Afternoon.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58HE GAGS
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Some fur in my macaroon.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11A sweep shot, ladies and gentlemen.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Bad luck.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Every batsman has an off day.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21And a classic leg glance, please!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Well, that concludes the cricket demonstration.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Bad luck, Daniel.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Next up, the visitors' egg-and-spoon race.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42A little more elbow room, if you don't mind.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45You're trying to knock my egg off my spoon.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- If you can't handle the heat, Mrs M, then get back to the kitchen.- Oh!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Ready... Go!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53CHEERING
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Come on Mrs... Bunty!
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Come on!
0:03:59 > 0:04:00FATHER BROWN CHUCKLES
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Mrs McCarthy adopted her superior gliding technique.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Deputy Headmaster, what are you doing here away from all the fun?
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Chasing the infernal cat that keeps getting in from YOUR school, Deputy Headmistress.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22No wonder you look hot and bothered.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Sheila...
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Darling, why not talk to Sefton about the headship today?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30It's perfect timing, if we want to start planning for a date.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And other little things.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- It's hardly the time or place. - Seize the day!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- No... Sheila. No! - HE CHUCKLES
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Father, what happened?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Come on, ladies and gents, let's clear a path, please.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Padre, how unusual to find you sniffing around a catastrophe.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27I suppose you found the body?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Heavens preserve us, you're not actually saying that...
0:05:29 > 0:05:33No. A serious head wound, but she's still breathing.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39I found her, in the boiler room. Philip Hart, deputy headmaster.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And what were you doing in there?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Looking for a stray cat.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46A cat? So, who is this girl?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I've certainly never seen her before. Sefton Scott, headmaster.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Inspector Mallory.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53The girl's not from any boy's family.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- "The girl" is May Lewis. - And you are?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00BELL RINGS Sheila Barnett, deputy head of St Saviour's, next door.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01May is one of our young ladies.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Who should never have been here in the first place!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Typical St Saviour's laxity.- Laxity?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I suspect a simple accident.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Trespassing, Miss Lewis probably bashed her head on a pipe.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Inspector, I noticed a distinct scent in Miss Lewis' hair.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20A smelly pipe, then. Thank you, Padre.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25We'll get to the bottom of it once the area has been cleared.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Right you are, Sir. Ladies and gents, please.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33She's in good hands.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Erm... How do you suppose she got here?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I don't know. She can be...
0:06:41 > 0:06:44..wilful. Bit of a free spirit.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46But she could have just been after the cat.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50It's not the first time it's caused friction between the schools.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Do you think her room may provide a clue?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Yes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57But as St Saviour's is a school for young ladies,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59no men are allowed in the dormitories.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Yes, of course
0:07:01 > 0:07:02She said "young".
0:07:02 > 0:07:04And she said "ladies".
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Both ideally qualified.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- HE STAMMERS - Th-that's not yours.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26No, it isn't.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27But how do you know whose it is?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Thank you.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Oh, what beautiful gardens!
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Oh! Passiflora caerulea, I think.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Passion flower, yes. Lovely.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Oh... If you'll excuse me, I must update the head.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10The girls'll point you to May's room.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Oh, come on, Mrs M, do keep up.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Or do I have to commandeer a wheelbarrow for you?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I doubt very much you'd know how to handle a wheelbarrow.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21C-can't you r-read?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I was just admiring the flowers.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Why the gloomy face? It was only a silly race.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45It's just there's barely anything personal here.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Poor girl. Stuck in a cold little room.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Passion In Paris.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Well, it looks like she found ways to liven things up.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Yes. Well, there's not much else to do when you're dumped in a place like this.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Until you're kicked out and dumped in another one.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11Yes, well, I suppose we've all had our schoolgirl indiscretions.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Not you, surely, Mrs M?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Oh, yes, yes - even me.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19What are you doing in there?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I am searching.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Have you found Narnia yet?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27No, I have not found Narnia yet.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33But I have found this.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38A diary! Top marks, Mrs M!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43What does this mean, do you think?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48No, no, apparently the girl just wandered in.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Nothing to do with the running of the school, I assure you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Now, boys, say goodbye and then help Mr Hart tidy up.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Father Brown. No pressing parish duties?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04None more pressing than the serious injury of a young girl, no.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06No, of course.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10But, with your reputation, I would prefer not to cause
0:10:10 > 0:10:12unnecessary alarm over a tragic accident.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- I think she was attacked.- By whom?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'm not sure. But she was gathering snacks for two,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18so she was meeting someone.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21A Martyrs paramour, perhaps?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23No, no, Father, you're mistaken.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Perhaps St Saviour's are happy to let their charges run around unsupervised...
0:10:27 > 0:10:28We most certainly are not!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30And we've had boys over our walls, too.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Not to mention all the stray cricket balls.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Father, we found something. - May's secret diary.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39We encourage our charges to behave as young ladies.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- Guidance, apparently, they ignore. Absences here...- Really!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48INSPECTOR COUGHS
0:10:48 > 0:10:50It's a pattern of dots that repeats.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Every 28 days.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55The lunar cycle, perhaps?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59A cycle, yes. But this pattern is two weeks late, meaning...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02May is probably...
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- BOTH:- Pregnant. - Ah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11So, who do you think the father is, Father?
0:11:11 > 0:11:17And what on Earth are we doing rummaging through cricketing... whatnots?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Linseed oil.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Freshly applied.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23These stains are fresher still.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I'll take that, thank you, Padre.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31The weapon used in the attack, I'd wager.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You thought it was an accident.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34I just go where the evidence leads.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39And it just so happens to have led me to "DG."
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Daniel Gates.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48The moral values we impart to our boys...
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Are hardly unique to your school. - ..are beyond reproach.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Is this your cricket bat?- Yes.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Daniel Gates, I am arresting you on suspicion of attempted murder.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Grandfather!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- I don't know her!- There, you see?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Grandfather! - Your grandad can follow on. - This is outrageous!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Mr Scott...- My grandson would never involve himself with such a girl,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22risk his bright future, let alone commit such a crime.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23No Martyrs boy would.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Your grandson's bat was plainly the weapon used in the attack.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28And if she was pregnant,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31then it's his future that would be ruined by the scandal.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- POLICEMAN:- Mind your head, son. - I didn't do anything!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- I didn't...- I know.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38You didn't have your own bat for your demonstration,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41hence your lapses in timing. So, where was it?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42I don't know.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46It was supposed to be out ready with my other gear, but it wasn't there.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48And young Miss Lewis, where were you expecting to find her?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I wasn't.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Daniel, if you want me to help you, you have to tell the truth in confidence.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54We do not have much time.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58We're courting.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Grandfather would have my guts for garters if he knew.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03St Saviour's girls are out of bounds.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So, you used to meet her in the boiler room?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09She'd leave me notes, but I didn't get one today
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I had no idea she was pregnant.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16But I would never hurt her. Never.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Do you think she'll be all right?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Like the Daniel of old, keep faith. The truth will set you free.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28On your bike, Padre!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Just sheltering from the weather, Inspector.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50I just wish I could do something useful.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55You are doing something useful - watching over that girl.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Poor little thing - only a child herself.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02And pregnant.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05By that Daniel, of all people!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Well, you did say "star of all things athletic".
0:14:09 > 0:14:11That's enough, Penelope!
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I'm sure Winnie Robins never envisaged anything like this.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Perhaps she was just lonely.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Needed to know someone cared.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25And someone does.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31May? May?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Go on, get out!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Back on your own side! You and that damned cat.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Or what?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Or what?! I'll give you what!
0:14:47 > 0:14:48You'll give me...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- HE STAMMERS - ..s-six of the best?
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Headmaster!
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Are you all right?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Er, polio. In infancy. Hardest fight of my life.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01But you can't keep a good man down.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Daniel didn't do it, Father.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06He couldn't have.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I suspect you may be right.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10But you'd be wise to find him legal counsel.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Headmaster. Good news, Father. Apparently the girl's coming round.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16That is good news.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Now perhaps Miss Lewis can tell us what actually happened.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Oh, I see. Well, thank you very much.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Apparently Father Brown has already left the school.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Oh, there you are!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Is she awake? - Not yet, but it can't be long now.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09GIRL SCREAMS
0:16:16 > 0:16:17May?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19May...
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Are you all right?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Unconscious.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27But she just screamed!
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I suspect someone's made another attempt on her life.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Highly doubtful, given that I have her attacker in custody.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Do you?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37There's no-one out there, Sir.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Why is the pillow on the floor?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42She obviously had a nightmare,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44knocked the pillow onto the floor herself.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Passion flower
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Yes.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Philip.- Deputy Headmistress.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Are you all right?- Perfectly.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Though, like you, I do have work to be getting on with.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Given recent events,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05perhaps that's where we should each focus our attention.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08What are you saying?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- If this is about earlier, perhaps it was bad t... - It isn't. I'm sorry.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13You deserve better.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20How's May?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Under Mrs McCarthy's watchful eye.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27And she stirred momentarily, so the doctor is optimistic.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31And the baby?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Well, actually, May's monthly clock has started ticking again.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37So, we won't be hearing
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- the pitter-patter of tiny feet after all. - SHE SOBS
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oh!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I'm so sorry!
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's just a difficult time.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53And my own clock has started ticking rather loudly of late.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Which is terribly selfish, when May is in such pain.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03But thank heaven she's on the mend now.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06But someone still means her harm.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08And with Daniel in custody,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10that means we have to look further afield.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I can't believe Jack would do anything violent.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23How long has he worked at the school?
0:18:23 > 0:18:24About a year. He doesn't say much,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26but he's the best gardener we've ever had.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Jack?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32No sign of life.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Apart from the beautiful garden.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Perhaps we should try later.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Ah, no, we should check around the back.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57< Hello, Jack?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03< Jack?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Just a bit stuck.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Hello, Jack?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36We really shouldn't touch anything. It might be evidence.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Jack?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Not his work, surely?
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Jack?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Jack?
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Jack!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Poor Jack.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- He must have been such a tortured soul.- Mm.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Jack is your classic maladjusted loner.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Fixated on this girl, and then unable to face his own guilt.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Ah, so you don't think this one's an accident, then, Sir?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Obviously not.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Did you know him well?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Not at all.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- I told you Daniel was innocent. - Mr Scott...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You will release him immediately or my solicitor will file a complaint.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I am bound to follow the evidence.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40And this particular piece of evidence compels me to release Daniel,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42pending further enquiries.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44He's innocent.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Hardly that, given his flagrant disregard for school rules.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Illicit liaisons with this girl on school grounds. Deception.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54He must be punished.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57You can make your own deliberations about such matters
0:20:57 > 0:20:59when, and if, you take the reins.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04What deliberation? Rules are rules. Surely you don't intend to make an exception?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Hello.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Hello?
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Hello, May.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Do you remember me?
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Coconut macaroons.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31You're in hospital.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35You're going to be all right.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39But it seems you're not expecting, after all.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Oh. Course not.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Do you remember being attacked?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Attacked?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I know you were meeting Daniel.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58And not for the first time.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00No, I was after the cat.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Yes, I found the cat fur in your bag.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Good excuse.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Nice wheeze! Like something I would have done.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16You know, you can tell us anything.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Our lips are sealed.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29I left him a note in his cricket bag for us to meet,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32when I realised I was...late.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37After that, I remember...
0:22:38 > 0:22:41..macaroons, you...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Then nothing.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51At first the police thought Daniel was responsible
0:22:51 > 0:22:53because the attacker used his bat.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55No.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But now they think that Jack, the gardener, hit you.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Coming again for you, here...
0:23:06 > 0:23:07..before he took his own life.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16No. It couldn't have been Jack. He was lovely.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18People are not always what they seem.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21He was! When I got sick of being dumped at school
0:23:21 > 0:23:25by Daddy and his new girlfriend,
0:23:25 > 0:23:26he was my friend.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Let me watch him draw, play with his cat.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I thought I dreamt of him being here.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40WINDOW OPENS
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I remember something white.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53SHE SCREAMS
0:23:53 > 0:23:55A pillow.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56And I couldn't breathe.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59And then Jack's face.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02A look I'd never seen. Desperate. Furious.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08He was fighting.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12So...someone else was here?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Passiflora.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Said to symbolise Our Lord's passion and suffering.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I think Jack brought it here for you.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34And surprised someone else.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50You wait there.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Mr Scott.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I am tempted to complain to your Chief Inspector.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Who, incidentally, is an old boy of the school.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Apologies for any confusion.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Headmaster.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Oh, Father, surely the case is closed now?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06The police have their man.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Perhaps. But I suspect that their man knows one of yours.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Can you identify him?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21No-one currently at the school, I assure you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24If you'll excuse me, I must speak with Daniel.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Daniel? Daniel!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39First Daniel, then Jack.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I haven't a friend in the world now.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44You have me.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46And you have me.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49And me...if you want.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Daniel!- You shouldn't be here.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Please.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59To the store room, please, boys.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Philip.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11Please, whatever it is, whatever's going on, I'll stand by you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I love you.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Deputy Headmaster...
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Sorry, Father, I can't leave the boys unsupervised.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Father.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24May's awake. And well.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26And she doesn't remember anything.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30That's probably a blessing.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33It must have been a shock for you, finding her in the boiler room.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I'm guessing that May and Daniel weren't the only people
0:26:38 > 0:26:40fraternising between schools.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43We had to keep it quiet.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Females are considered a distraction at Martyrs.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Staff have to set an example.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Not that it matters now.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54It's over.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Something changed.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00What?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04I don't know. Perhaps it was with finding May,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07but he seems upset.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Nothing like the man I know.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Can I show you a picture?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16I'm just so glad you're all right.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20I'm sorry I couldn't come any sooner.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I didn't think you'd be able to come at all,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26now that everyone knows about us.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Wild horses couldn't hold me back.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36What about your grandfather? He's still headmaster.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Not for much longer. Anyway, it doesn't matter.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I'm going to tell him I'm old enough to make my own decisions.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's my life.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And you're my girl.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Yes, the pollen from the flowers, it's very strong.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- SHE CLEARS THROAT - Yes, terrible.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03All right, back to your form room, boys.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Father.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09May I?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Such a shame.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20A joyous day, ending in tragedy.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Yes.- Especially for you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25First on the scene of such a brutal attack.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29And, of course, you know the man that the police now hold responsible.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32What on Earth gives you that idea, Father?
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Your reaction, when you saw his hand attachments.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42And I found this amongst Jack's possessions.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49It is you, isn't it?
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Much younger, before you became deputy headmaster.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59But why such anguish?
0:29:11 > 0:29:16My first year as a master...
0:29:16 > 0:29:20..on my way to class I saw a boy being disciplined.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Right here, through this very window.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27TEACHER GRUNTS
0:29:27 > 0:29:28- BOY:- Stop, please!
0:29:30 > 0:29:31WHIP CRACKS
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Stop, please!
0:29:36 > 0:29:37- TEACHER:- Put your hands back!
0:29:39 > 0:29:41WHIP CRACKS
0:29:41 > 0:29:47This boy - Sebastian - had a terrible stutter.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51But spirit, and gifts.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53He was an exceptional artist...
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Discipline is important. We have a proud tradition.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Instilling responsibility, shaping character.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07But this brutality, over nothing.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10He was drawing in Latin class,
0:30:10 > 0:30:12and he wouldn't stop stammering.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19I saw the hope in his eyes, as he saw me.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22And the despair, as I left them to it.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Still hearing him.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29His hands being beaten.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32His nerves broken.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38So that he could no longer hold a pencil, or gardening tools,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40without metal aids.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42The Cat of Mastigatus.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45It's not used these days,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48but even the name still strikes terror into the boys.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Not sure I like the sound of it much.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58It's a modified tawse, named after a cat-o'-nine-tails.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01And Latin for "punishment".
0:31:04 > 0:31:09But why such remorse today, after all these years?
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Because of this.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14"Tell the truth about the Cat."
0:31:14 > 0:31:20I knew it was from Sebastian, but I didn't realise Sebastian was Jack until earlier.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25He changed his name, to avoid the sounds he struggled with.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30And now he's dead.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35But that was a long time ago.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38We have to focus on the boys here, today.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41And discipline is a cornerstone of this school.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Discipline, honour, courage!
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Where have you been?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Compounding your various transgressions.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09I'd've thought you'd have learnt from all this trouble.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12But now I hear you were at the hospital to see the silly girl!
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- She's nice. - Nice girls don't behave like that!
0:32:14 > 0:32:17An amoral, insolent girl with no respect for authority.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Remove your shirt.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28I don't want to punish you, Daniel, but rules are rules,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31and it's for your own benefit. Over.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36This doesn't change anything.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I'm not going to stop seeing her.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Grandfather!
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Call me "Sir", boy!
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Please! No!
0:32:52 > 0:32:54You... You brought this on yourself.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Well? What are you waiting for?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06You must.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08And if you won't...
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Philip, no!
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Did you not always teach us that discipline was everything?
0:33:20 > 0:33:25You've inflicted these hideous punishments on generations of boys,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28and you won't give that gift to your own precious Daniel?!
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Philip!
0:33:31 > 0:33:36I know boys have suffered. Old boys and new.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37But this is not the way.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40You don't know suffering. Suffering makes a man of you.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42A man of distinction, of courage.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Courage? To cripple a boy's hands?
0:33:46 > 0:33:50To beat who knows how many others over the years?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- To shape them!- Shape them?
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Into what?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57You shaped Jack into a shadow of what he might have been.
0:33:59 > 0:34:05Violence toward the weak shows no honour or courage, it is merely bullying.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Like...
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Like bludgeoning a young woman.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16What are you talking about?
0:34:16 > 0:34:21"An amoral, insolent young girl who showed no respect for authority."
0:34:22 > 0:34:25But you said you'd never seen her before.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28So, how could you possibly know that she was insolent?
0:34:30 > 0:34:37You boasted about Daniel's prowess at cricket, and his golden future.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39It must have been quite a blow when you found May's note.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11So, you went to catch her, and found her insolent.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Ha!
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Caught in the act, you little harlot!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Sneaking into my school, leading my grandson astray.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You will never see him again.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27He'll come to me, when he hears I'm carrying his child.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31He'll come running then.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56She was a little schemer,
0:35:56 > 0:35:58claiming pregnancy.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03So you hit her with a cricket bat.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06That's why your display went awry, Daniel.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Your grandfather hit your friend with your bat.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14And then he hid it with the others.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Only later, you realised you hadn't quite finished the job,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20and that she might identify you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25So you tried again, at the hospital.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39SHE SCREAMS
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Only to be foiled by truly courageous Jack.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Jack.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10I...s-saw you.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17I...know you.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Sefton Scott.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Sebastian?
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Poor Jack.
0:37:27 > 0:37:33Helpless, when you killed him with the very aids he needed on his broken hands.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Hands broken by you
0:37:38 > 0:37:41and your "shaping" with the Cat of Mastigatus.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43JACK GASPS AND CHOKES
0:37:44 > 0:37:47And then...
0:37:47 > 0:37:50..the disgusting deceit...
0:37:50 > 0:37:53..of making it appear that he had taken his own life.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Yes.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I took hard decisions. For you!
0:38:00 > 0:38:04That girl was looking to destroy your reputation, mine, the school's...
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Everything I've built!
0:38:06 > 0:38:08And the consequences?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Men have gone to the gallows for less.
0:38:11 > 0:38:1212 good men and true will judge my motives.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14And God.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19He forgives all our sins, but only forgives those who truly repent.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Headmaster, for the sake of your immortal soul,
0:38:26 > 0:38:28can you find no remorse?
0:38:28 > 0:38:34Perhaps your God should show some remorse for his imperfect making.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38I learned early never to rely on his pity, but my own mettle.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Yes, occasionally maybe I went too far,
0:38:43 > 0:38:47but I built this school, the character of generations of boys.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Made you the man you are today!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51If I truly was a man of courage,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54I'd have ended your brutality a long time ago.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04I didn't want you to throw away your future, Daniel.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06This is my legacy.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Tell it to the judge. Maybe he's an old boy, too.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15I never wanted this "golden future" they're all pushing me into anyway.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18I'm not sure golden futures are what they used to be.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Or if I want the headship any more.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Perhaps the school's a lost cause.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Oh, I don't know. Nothing worthwhile is beyond saving.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Just takes a little courage.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35BELL CHIMES
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Slow and steady.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42What we want is an evenly mashed mixture,
0:39:42 > 0:39:47not something that looks as if it's been fired out of a catapult.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49I'm sure we have enough to feed the 5,000 by now.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50And their goats.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55There. Now, much as I'd love to continue...
0:39:55 > 0:39:58What has you itching to get away so fast?
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Wouldn't you like to know?
0:40:00 > 0:40:05You have been absent without leave for over a week now.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09Sneaking off to heaven-knows-where. Or is it heaven-knows-who?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Mrs M, now, you know I'd love to catch up, but...
0:40:11 > 0:40:13What kind of mischief are you up to now?
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Oh, you know - men to seduce, gossip to fuel. Toodle-oo!
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Penelope!
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Hello, Father.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25And there was me thinking we'd turned a corner at last.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27< Bye-bye, Bunty.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- Obviously she had somewhere terribly important to get to.- Yes.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41So, what did the former headmaster have to say for himself?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Unrepentant, still.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45But I will keep trying.
0:40:45 > 0:40:51Hopefully the essential goodness that is within us all will eventually win out.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53And young May, how is she doing?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Apparently subdued.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00But Bunty is working her magic, cheering her up, every day.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Bunty is?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Yes, I expect that's where she's gone to now.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Oh, yes. Yes, I expect it is.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Um...
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Sheila.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33Thanks for coming.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39I was hoping to ask you something...important.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47But first, you have to know what you'd be signing up for.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Someone has a spring in their step.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Race you to the macaroons?- Ha-ha!
0:42:28 > 0:42:31I thought we'd agreed to throttle back on the fast living for a while.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Oh, and Penelope knows all about fast living.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Except, of course, where eggs and spoons are involved.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40May! How wonderful to see you back in the pink!
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Oh! Looks like she's not the only one.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Oh, that is very good news!
0:42:49 > 0:42:51What a corker!
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Ladies and gentlemen!
0:42:54 > 0:42:58As headmaster, I'd like to welcome you all to our fete,
0:42:58 > 0:43:03which I hope, while we will never forget past tragedies,
0:43:03 > 0:43:08will mark a new era of friendship between our two schools,
0:43:08 > 0:43:10with our new ethos -
0:43:10 > 0:43:15courage, honour and compassion.
