1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,200
Oh, I'm so sorry, Father.

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,000
Unpacking everything
has put me so far behind

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
on my parish paperwork.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,200
I'm just pleased
you and the Inspector

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,840
are settling in so well.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,680
What's with that?

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,560
Did Mrs McCarthy leave it behind
<font color="

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,200
Actually, that was a house-warming
gift for me from Edgar.

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,560
It's very striking.

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,680
It's hideous!

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,200
I know! But I haven't the heart
to tell him.

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,560
It's been difficult,
with his demotion.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,920
<font color="
easier for him.

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,640
KNOCKING

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,080
Oh, hello!
Mrs Goodfellow!

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,400
Father Brown, Brenda.

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000
Guess who I've just had
a telephone call from?

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,880
Joyce Webber!

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,920
She's inviting us for drinks
<font color="

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,440
What? No?!

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,440
Joyce Webber is the
superintendent's wife.

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,920
She's the head of the CPWS.

23
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,960
The Cotswold
Policeman's Wives Society!

24
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,720
Oh! I've been to a few of their
fundraising events.

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,640
<font color="
This is a huge honour.

26
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,760
I've been going to their functions
for over 20 years

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,440
and I've never been invited to
anything like this before.

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,880
So why now?

29
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,600
And isn't it a bit last-minute?

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,720
<font color="
at Hambleston tomorrow

31
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,680
and most of the organising committee
have caught impetigo.

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,840
Oh!

33
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Shall I call her back and confirm?
Yes!

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,400
Wait... no, I can't.

35
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,680
I've got these parish returns,

36
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,160
<font color="
the numbers for Mass.

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,040
They all have to be sent to
the Diocese by tomorrow.

38
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,680
Well, I can always do that for you.

39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,200
Really?

40
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,000
Course. I've seen you do it
often enough.

41
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And I have every faith in
<font color="

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,320
Oh, thank you, Brenda!

43
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,840
Edgar would be so proud

44
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,840
if I became part of
the Policeman's Wives Club.

45
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,760
This evening has to go well!

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,320
How's my hair?

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,360
The same as the last time you asked.

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,640
Oh, it's important, Edgar!

49
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,680
<font color="

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,240
You look lovely.

51
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,480
See? There's no need to be nervous.

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,160
Easy for you to say, Inspector.

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,680
I'm no good at socialising
with the top brass.

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Just be yourself, Daniel.

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,800
Exactly. I've attended
<font color="

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840
They're usually extremely dull.
Sh!

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Good evening. Can I take your coats?

58
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,960
Hello. Good evening. Thank you.

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,480
Welcome! It's lovely you could come.

60
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,000
Isn't it?
Absolutely.

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,880
<font color="

62
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,320
Or Angie, to you and I.

63
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,160
I know, Mrs Rendon.

64
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,680
I'm Violet Goodfellow. We have met.

65
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,640
Quite a few times, actually.

66
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:16,600
Of course.
Violet, it's so remiss of me.

67
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,880
We should have had you round
years ago.

68
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,000
<font color="

69
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,800
Yep, Sergeant Goodfellow, ma'am.

70
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,600
Charmed.
Hello.

71
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,400
Isabel Sullivan. Thank you so much
for the invitation, Mrs Webber.

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,560
It's Joyce. And I've been dying
to meet you properly.

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,840
<font color="
being a lifelong bachelor.

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,000
You must be a very special woman
for him to give that up!

75
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,320
Gerald! Just in time.

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,360
He got held up at work.
Oh, Rendon.

77
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,000
Chaps, if you'd can excuse me,
I need a word.

78
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
<font color="
Mm-hm.

79
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Please, help yourself to drinks.

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,720
We're all set up
in the sitting room.

81
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,680
If you could you start things off?

82
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,760
After all, we do have an auction
to finalise!

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,040
Now, Joyce!

84
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,720
Come on, then.
<font color="

85
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240
The annual charity auction is
one of the most important events

86
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,160
in the CPWS social calendar.

87
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,120
Now, we might have lost
most of our proper committee,

88
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,400
but we still need to do our best.

89
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Especially as this year,

90
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,680
<font color="
will be attending.

91
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Ooh, the Chief Constable?

92
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,000
Is that what Gerald
spoke with you about?

93
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Yes.

94
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,400
Now, all the money raised

95
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,800
will go to the Cotswold Police
Widows and Orphans Charity,

96
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,920
<font color="
top-drawer items to auction off.

97
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,320
A Persian rug.

98
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,840
Oh, a Singer 201k
with a vertical rotary hook!

99
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:38,000
Violet runs the village
sewing circle.

100
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,280
Of course she does.

101
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:41,680
<font color="
for it, then, Violet.

102
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Bid and win!

103
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Now, I'll need volunteers
at the event

104
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,560
to make sure things
all run smoothly.

105
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,760
I don't mind helping out.

106
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Neither do I.

107
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,000
KNOCKING

108
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,240
<font color="
Carole?!

109
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,760
But actually, I bumped into
another guest on the way over.

110
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,320
Good evening, one and all!

111
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,200
Mrs Webber telephoned me
and asked me to pop by.

112
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,000
I had a few questions about
the charity side of things.

113
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,080
<font color="
would be able to answer them,

114
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,440
as she runs
the Widows and Orphans Charity.

115
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,000
Yes, but we always welcome
your advice, Father.

116
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,720
I must get you a drink.

117
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,160
Angie, would you mind?

118
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Of course.

119
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,040
<font color="

120
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,280
Damn shame what happened to you,
Sullivan.

121
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:32,400
Fine policeman.

122
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,560
Ooh! Not for me, thank you, sir.
FOOTSTEPS

123
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,400
You know, I'm still not sure
what you even did.

124
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800
There was an issue with a case -

125
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,600
<font color="

126
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,640
Hang on, what's the priest
doing here?

127
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,160
Your wife invited me,
Superintendent Webber.

128
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Allow me.
Thank you.

129
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,000
Got a good one here, Rendon.

130
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,480
Too many of these young women
<font color="

131
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,000
Careers and suchlike.

132
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,720
Well, I already have a job,
Superintendent.

133
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,240
It's looking after my husband.

134
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,120
How about your new wife, Sullivan?

135
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,560
I presume she doesn't work?

136
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,000
Actually, she's Father Brown's
<font color="

137
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Respectable work, at least.

138
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Not too overstimulating.

139
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,040
Well... has its moments.

140
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,800
Finlay.

141
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,960
Franklin.

142
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,280
No, no, no - Inspectors Finlay and
Franklin can't sit together.

143
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,200
Not after the charity golf fiasco.

144
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,720
<font color="

145
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,400
I read about that
in Miss F's column.

146
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,560
Don't get me started on that woman.

147
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Miss F? Oh, she has a gossip column
every Friday

148
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,320
in the Cotswold Enquirer.

149
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,840
She's a muck-raker.

150
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,000
<font color="
her real name.

151
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,840
You know she described me
as a social climber?

152
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:58,920
Me?! My husband went to one of
the county's top schools!

153
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,200
So did Superintendent Webber,
I understand.

154
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,240
A few years before, of course.

155
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,000
<font color="

156
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,240
In fact, Gerald is personally
recommending

157
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,720
Michael for Chief Inspector.

158
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,680
Oh, Isabel, I'm so sorry!

159
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,000
Me talking about Michael
having a promotion

160
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,440
when your husband got demoted almost
<font color="

161
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,600
Those things were unrelated.

162
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,640
Oh, no, no, no.
I didn't mean any offence.

163
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,560
We police wives
need to stick together.

164
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,840
I mean, look at poor Carole.

165
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,080
It has been over a year
since Terry died.

166
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,200
<font color="
to put some lipstick on.

167
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,520
Well!

168
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,000
Are we sure the committee
have got impetigo,

169
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
or are they just trying
to avoid Angie!?

170
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,080
BELL TOLLS

171
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,600
Pull yourself together!

172
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,120
<font color="

173
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,400
I told you, I don't want
the damn job anyway!

174
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,440
Language!

175
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,200
We had a plan.

176
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,000
You're to become Chief Inspector
by the end of the year.

177
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,040
Or else.

178
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,160
And Mrs Danbury can go by
<font color="

179
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Done!

180
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,560
I don't know how you do it!

181
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,000
Are you done?
Oh, yes. Sorry.

182
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Come in, darling.
Good.

183
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Because I have an announcement
to make.

184
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,080
This auction tomorrow will be
<font color="

185
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,280
for the CPWS. She's giving it up.

186
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,440
Really?!

187
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,760
She's keen to spend
more time at home.

188
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,840
Aren't you, darling?

189
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,560
Yes.

190
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:44,400
That's a great loss.

191
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Let's raise a glass.

192
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,480
To Mrs We... Oh!
<font color="

193
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,120
Sorry, sorry.

194
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,400
It must be a reaction
to his new allergy medicine.

195
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,920
Perhaps Inspector Rendon
would benefit from a lie down.

196
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,800
Could you take him
to the drawing room?

197
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,480
Come on, pull yourself together,
man.

198
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,800
<font color="

199
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,600
Apparently there's a telephone call
for Inspector Sullivan.

200
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,840
Thank you, Jenkins,
I'll be right there.

201
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Some trouble at The Red Lion.

202
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,760
Local chap. Joe Arbuthnot?

203
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,000
Oh, I can go, sir.

204
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,440
Arbie sometimes thinks
<font color="

205
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,000
Usually listens to me, though.

206
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360
Good man.

207
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,000
I know, Sullivan,
how would you like to see

208
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,520
the implementation schedule
for my new police radios?

209
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,040
I'd love to, sir.

210
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,720
I will ensure that Mrs Goodfellow
<font color="

211
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,280
Thank you, Father.

212
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,440
I'm so sorry, love.

213
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,280
I understand, but it doesn't mean
I have to like it.

214
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,040
You be careful.
I will.

215
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,240
Oh, I thought Inspector Rendon
might need water,

216
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,640
<font color="

217
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,360
Angie'll be mortified!

218
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,200
That wretched medication!

219
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,520
I have a good mind to speak to
Michael's doctor.

220
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,800
Oh, please -

221
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,560
we all know it was the half-bottle
of malt he drank!

222
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,040
<font color="

223
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,440
(You could've said that
before I spent an hour

224
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,640
(learning about the superintendent's
implementation schedule.)

225
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,520
(I'll find Father Brown and Violet.)

226
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,640
(I'll make our excuses to our host.)

227
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,000
KNOCKING

228
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,720
<font color="

229
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,280
I need help in here!

230
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Anybody?!

231
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,800
Mrs Goodfellow? Mrs Goodfellow?

232
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,600
She's alive!

233
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,040
Anything?

234
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,240
How is Mrs Goodfellow?

235
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,640
She's unconscious.

236
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,280
<font color="
to hospital.

237
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,000
Sustained a nasty blow
to the back of the head.

238
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,040
She must have interrupted
the killer.

239
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,120
They used the superintendent's
own truncheon against him.

240
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,960
Doesn't look like a burglary.

241
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,440
<font color="

242
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,120
Which means it's likely
to be someone

243
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,600
who was already in the house.

244
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,200
Father, I can take it from here.

245
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,600
LIGHTER THUDS

246
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,600
JOYCE: Oh!

247
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,840
Fitzherbert?

248
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,640
It's my maiden name.

249
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,520
<font color="
Oh.

250
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Father, what am I to do?

251
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,480
You will get through this, Joyce -
I promise.

252
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,160
We'll have to cancel the auction,
of course.

253
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,520
All that work.

254
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,360
And I really wanted Michael
<font color="

255
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:31,000
A man is dead,
our friend is injured,

256
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,440
and all she cares about
is her husband's career!

257
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Did anyone get a message to
Sergeant Goodfellow?

258
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,120
Yes, he's on his way
to the hospital.

259
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,080
<font color="

260
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320
What if Violet doesn't make it?

261
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,160
I'm sure the doctors are doing
everything they can.

262
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,360
She's lucky it wasn't worse.

263
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,960
However, they suspect there might be
swelling on the brain -

264
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,640
and until it subsides, they
<font color="

265
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,440
I should never have left her,
Father.

266
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,520
I should've been there
to protect her!

267
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,920
You were doing your job, Sergeant.

268
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,240
And besides, there were three
senior police officers present.

269
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,160
And one of them ended up dead!

270
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,760
<font color="
the killer's face?

271
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,800
They might come back
to finish the job!

272
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,280
But surely the officer posted here
will protect her.

273
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,320
As will I.

274
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,800
I'm not leaving her side.

275
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:24,800
Not again.

276
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,000
<font color="
an inside job, Father?

277
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,560
Apparently Superintendent Webber
let the staff go early,

278
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:36,080
so that leaves the guests...
and the hostess.

279
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,320
So the killer is one of the wives?

280
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,720
Or Inspector Rendon.

281
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,840
<font color="
Not in his drunken state.

282
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,160
At this stage,
we can't rule anything out.

283
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,600
What's that?

284
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,600
FATHER BROWN SIGHS

285
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,480
It's a list of letters I saw
in the superintendent's study.

286
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Father, is Mrs Goodfellow
<font color="

287
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000
If she can identify the killer,
that is a possibility.

288
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,880
Then we need to find out
who did this.

289
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,560
And speak to everyone who was there.

290
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:09,000
Well, actually, most of them will be
in the same place this morning.

291
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,520
PEACOCK CRIES

292
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,280
<font color="
it's still going ahead.

293
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,120
Ah, Isabel, just in time!

294
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,760
So, Meredith,
you're on cloakroom duty.

295
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,280
Angie, meeting and greeting.

296
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,560
Carole, can you help the auctioneer?

297
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,800
And Isabel, you're to chaperone
<font color="

298
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,680
Surely it makes more sense
for me to...?

299
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,680
We haven't got time to debate it.

300
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,240
We've only a few hours
until the event begins.

301
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,880
Look lively, people!

302
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,400
We've got all those auction lots
to put on display.

303
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,640
<font color="

304
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,000
So Mrs Webber's husband
has just been murdered,

305
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,720
and yet she's acting
like nothing happened?

306
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,720
People react in different ways,
Brenda.

307
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,200
And the CPWS is clearly
very important to Joyce.

308
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,000
<font color="

309
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,680
Superintendent Webber announced
that she was standing down.

310
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,560
Oh, how gorgeous!

311
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,760
It's a mixer.

312
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,760
Oh, look!
Here's something even better!

313
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,000
I don't think that ugly thing
would raise much.

314
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,240
<font color="

315
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,520
Maybe someone wants
to start a collection?

316
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,160
How did you get on with
the parish returns, Brenda?

317
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,200
Oh, yeah, fine. It's all sorted.

318
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,240
Ah!

319
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,040
Violet had her heart set on
this sewing machine.

320
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,880
<font color="

321
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,480
The doctors are still waiting
for her to come round.

322
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,360
She'll pull through.
She's a police wife.

323
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,120
We can handle a lot.

324
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,200
No! What are you doing?

325
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,000
This is completely absurd!

326
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,560
No, this is wrong!

327
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,000
<font color="

328
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,560
You can tell me all about that
at the station, Mrs Webber.

329
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,680
No, you can't do this!

330
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,680
They surely can't think
she killed Gerald?!

331
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,760
Well, I love Joyce,
but you never know what goes on

332
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,080
behind closed doors.

333
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,040
<font color="

334
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,440
I wondered how long
it would take, Father.

335
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,880
I'm curious about Mrs Webber's
arrest, Inspector.

336
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,840
I presume you have uncovered
some compelling new evidence.

337
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,000
No, I arrest the wives of
<font color="

338
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,960
All right...

339
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,040
We found these locked in
Superintendent Webber's desk.

340
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,760
They don't show the man's face.

341
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,640
No, but from his build, it's clearly
not Superintendent Webber.

342
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,760
<font color="
every Thursday at the same hotel.

343
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,800
It appears Mrs Webber
is having an affair

344
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,240
and the superintendent
found out about it.

345
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,000
What does Mrs Webber say?

346
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,560
She's refusing to talk

347
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,560
<font color="
from Gloucester.

348
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,600
But we all saw the tension
between them yesterday evening.

349
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,680
I believe he confronted her
and things turned.

350
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,200
Inspector, I don't suppose

351
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,840
you have a copy of
<font color="

352
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,520
The Inspector thinks
you were having an affair.

353
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,840
But it wasn't love that brought you
to that hotel, was it?

354
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,880
It was your job.

355
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,000
The hotel is next door
to the offices

356
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,640
<font color="

357
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,760
And the anonymous gossip column
by Miss F

358
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,200
is published every Friday,

359
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,400
the day after
each one of your meetings.

360
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,840
The events Miss F writes about,

361
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,840
you often attended.

362
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,240
<font color="

363
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,560
is, I presume, the basis for
the nom-de-plume.

364
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,040
I thought I was being clever.

365
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,400
The column was my outlet -
a way to express myself.

366
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,320
You don't know what it was like
<font color="

367
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:17,360
You probably guessed I didn't want
to resign from the CPWS.

368
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:18,640
He was punishing me.

369
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,760
Because he found out?

370
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,000
He confronted me last night.

371
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,440
He was furious.

372
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,000
I had no choice but to admit to
<font color="

373
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,800
He said he'd telephone the newspaper
the next day,

374
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,000
have them fire me.

375
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,440
That must have been galling.

376
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,600
Yes.

377
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,280
But it doesn't mean I killed him.

378
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,040
The column was only a bit of fun.

379
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,680
I was working on a proper article -
<font color="

380
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,840
I was going to ignore Gerald
and get it published regardless.

381
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,600
But now he's dead,

382
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,680
and instead I'll hang
for something I didn't do.

383
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,680
Does this mean anything to you?

384
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,640
Gerald was making recommendations
for promotion.

385
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,720
<font color="
he was considering.

386
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,800
FATHER BROWN SIGHS
Do you think it means something?

387
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,480
I don't know.

388
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,000
Will you help me, Father?

389
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,640
Do you believe I didn't do this?

390
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,120
I do.

391
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,280
Oh, Father Brown!

392
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,600
<font color="

393
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,160
Mrs Goodfellow, I am so pleased
you are back with us.

394
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,880
It's an absolute miracle!

395
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,320
How are you feeling?

396
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,200
I've got a terrible headache,

397
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,160
but it sounds like
I got off lightly.

398
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,280
What do you remember about
<font color="

399
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,200
The whole night is a bit hazy,
Father.

400
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,760
I...

401
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,720
I remember Inspector Rendon
making a fool of himself.

402
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,200
Yes, the superintendent took him
for a lie down.

403
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,400
Yeah, I heard them talking when
<font color="

404
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,400
Anything specific?

405
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,000
Well, just drunken rambling,
I suppose.

406
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,760
Just something about submarines,
subs...?

407
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,360
Or, er, flowers and roses, I think.

408
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:28,640
Anything else? Anything unusual?

409
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,360
Anything out of place?

410
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:34,520
<font color="
all over the floor

411
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,520
in the superintendent's office.

412
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,240
That's when I spotted him,
over by the desk.

413
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,120
Hey, hey - it's all right, love.

414
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:46,880
I walked in and
everything went black, and...

415
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,840
..the next thing I remember,
<font color="

416
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,920
There were no papers on the floor
when we found you.

417
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,080
But there was a brown file
on the desk.

418
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,200
So the killer tidied them up?

419
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,440
Why? I don't know,
but we need to see that file.

420
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,000
<font color="
did it, then, Father?

421
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,360
Mrs Webber is an intelligent
and capable woman.

422
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:13,720
If she'd wanted to kill her husband,
she would've done so

423
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,640
when her home was not full of
potential witnesses

424
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,320
and policemen.

425
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,800
<font color="

426
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,600
There must be something you can do.

427
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,520
These initials are
a list of officers

428
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,480
Superintendent Webber was
putting forward for promotion.

429
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,760
I know a few of these.

430
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,720
There's one set of initials missing.

431
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,560
MR.

432
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,720
<font color="

433
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,120
So he wasn't getting
his big promotion after all.

434
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,880
Maybe that's why he was so drunk.

435
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,240
He was disappointed.

436
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,200
Well, from what I saw,
if anyone was upset,

437
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,560
it was Angie, not Michael.

438
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,680
I suggest we talk to
<font color="

439
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,280
at the charity auction -

440
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,480
after we've examined that file.

441
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,720
Inspector Sullivan's
not going to let you near

442
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,280
the scene of the crime, Father.

443
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,120
Well, Daniel can do it.

444
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,840
I'm not going anywhere!

445
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,840
You could still be in danger.

446
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,000
<font color="

447
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,680
Besides, that nice young
police officer's still here.

448
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,480
Well, I could stay, Sergeant,
if that helps?

449
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,040
Well, I suppose so.

450
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,760
Right, that's settled, then.

451
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,440
Off you go.

452
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,000

You do look very dapper, Edgar.

455
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,320
And you look divine, Mrs Sullivan.
ISABEL CHUCKLES

456
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,440
I'm sorry, Isabel,
you need to stay out here -

457
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,480
you're on cloakroom duty
<font color="

458
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,000
What? Well, with Joyce indisposed,
I've been forced

459
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,200
to make some difficult decisions.

460
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,280
And since you were so keen
to help out...

461
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,320
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I think I see the Chief Constable.

462
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,160
<font color="

463
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,680
I'm so sorry!
I did volunteer my services.

464
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,000
Our first big event
as husband and wife

465
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
and I have to sit through it alone!

466
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,920
Not entirely alone, Inspector.

467
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,640
I can keep you company.

468
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000
<font color="
another fun evening.

469
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,440
Excuse me, Inspector.

470
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,560
Could I have a very small sherry?

471
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,960
Father Brown!

472
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,520
I'm just fetching a drink for
the Chief Constable and Michael.

473
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,280
Oh, good idea.

474
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,400
I'm sure you're very keen
<font color="

475
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,560
Especially as I hear
Superintendent Webber

476
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,280
failed to recommend your husband
for a promotion.

477
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,680
Gerald promised us
he'd put Michael forward

478
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,760
and then he suddenly
<font color="

479
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,000
He could've ruined
our entire career!

480
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,280
"Our" career!

481
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,480
Behind every great man
is his wife, Father.

482
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,520
Indeed.

483
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,680
But Superintendent Webber was
going to derail your plans,

484
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,200
and now he's dead.

485
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,520
<font color="

486
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,920
Yes, I was upset with him,

487
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,760
but it's the Chief Constable
who actually appoints officers.

488
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:08,960
Oh!

489
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,080
Michael's going to go far.

490
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,560
I'll make sure of that.

00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,040
You know, he never was
<font color="

493
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,600
It's all Terry Lawson's fault.

494
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,000
Carole Lawson's late husband?

495
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,600
They were called to a bank robbery.

496
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,600
Michael told Terry to wait
whilst they telephoned for orders

497
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,840
and Terry ran in, gung-ho,
and got himself killed.

498
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,960
<font color="
having nightmares,

499
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,800
drinking, avoiding social functions.

500
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,000
I'm sure witnessing
the death of a colleague

501
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,640
must have been extremely unsettling.

502
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,200
I can't believe Carole thinks
Terry should be awarded

503
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,560
<font color="

504
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,120
For bravery?

505
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:54,520
She's been harassing
Gerald for months.

506
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,760
You know she wasn't even invited
to the function last night?

507
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,640
She just showed up!

508
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,520
I mean, talk about poor etiquette.
FATHER BROWN LAUGHS

509

those drinks. Ah!

510
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,800
We'll be starting soon.

511
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,760
So you've told Isabel you've already
finished the paperwork?

512
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,000
I panicked.

513
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
I promised her I could handle it.

514
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,720
I'm adding up numbers for baptism,
<font color="

515
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,360
and I keep getting
different results!

516
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:27,400
Well, I'm sure we could
solve it together.

517
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,400
But if I help you with this,

518
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,320
I need you to help me
with something in return.

519
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,480
I needed some air, Father.

521
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,040
I wasn't invited
to the Webbers' last night.

00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,200

I might cause a scene.

Over your bid to have

the Queen's Police Medal?
Yes.

526
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,880
I just wanted to beg Gerald
one last time.

527
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,320
I assume the superintendent
refused... again.

528
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,000
I told him.

529
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,320
I said, "You think you're

00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,480
"on the front line."

532
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,120
I imagine the superintendent didn't
take kindly to that observation.

533
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,880
I didn't kill him.

534
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,440
I work with police widows every day.

create another one.

536
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,880
Besides, Joyce calmed me down.

537
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,040
She had a new way to give Terry
the recognition he deserves.

538
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,720
The article she was writing
was about Constable Lawson?

539
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,520
Yeah, I read it later that evening.

540
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,280
<font color="
trying to protect the public.

541
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,840
He wasn't reckless.

542
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,120
He was a hero!

543
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,040
The Enquirer won't publish it.

544
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:11,200
Not now its author has been
arrested for murder.

545
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:14,400
Perhaps I could help.

546
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,160
The editor is a parishioner of mine.

548
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,560
Father, could you?

549
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,360
Here you go. Enjoy the auction.

550
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:27,400
Thank you.

551
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,640
Joyce Webber's article on
Constable Lawson's death

552
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,800
is extremely well written.

553
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,200
You missed Sergeant Goodfellow.

554
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,760
<font color="
back to the hospital.

555
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,800
Oh, is this the file
Mrs Goodfellow mentioned?

556
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,400
Yes.

557
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,800
See?

558
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,680
The Sergeant thinks that blood
could be the superintendent's.

"The Modern Police Force:

Just dates and costings
from some new radio system

562
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:04,240
Gerald was trialling.

563
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,360
It's a disaster!

564
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:07,080
The auctioneer isn't coming.

565
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,400
He heard about Gerald's death

We're due to start in five minutes!

567
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,360
I could always do it.

568
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:15,640
I am accustomed to being on stage.

569
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,400
No, pushing yourself
into the limelight like that

570
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,040
is not very becoming.

571
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,680
Besides, you don't want

00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,440
No, we need someone with authority

Oh...

00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,320
Father!

People listen to you.

00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,120
What?
You're perfect.

577
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,200
I have every faith in you
as our auctioneer.

like acting, Father.

579

Good luck.

Thank you, sir. £1.

Oh, look!

That would be an excellent companion
for your other one.

596

Father, ten shillings!

597
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,840
Ah, ten shillings,
Inspector Sullivan!

£1!

One pound, ten shillings!

£5!

Oh, well, it wasn't meant to be.

you desperately wanted.

You did that to hurt Mrs Sullivan?!

I need another drink.

619
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,840
The next lot is
a Cotswold Police badge,

mounted and framed,

621
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
with the motto...

We're mid-auction!

Oh, no, I don't want

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

LEAFING PAGES

633
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,560
Are you going to lecture me
on the perils

634
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,680
of the demon drink, Father?

635
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,600
It's a bit late.

636
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,040
Inspector Rendon. How fortuitous.

637
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,520
No, it's not my place
<font color="

638
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,560
Although last night,
you were inebriated.

639
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,000
Which is why,

640
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000
when Mrs Goodfellow overheard you
talking about "submarines"

641
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,680
and "roses",

642
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,200
she assumed it was drunken rambling.

643
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,440
Highly likely.

644
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,560
<font color="

645
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,000
Because "sub rosa" in Latin
means "in secret".

646
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,680
So - a secret between you and
Superintendent Webber.

647
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,160
The lie that you were unable
to contact police headquarters

648
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,360
the day Terry Lawson died.

649
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,720
I don't know what
<font color="

650
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,600
I had no time to find a police box

651
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,760
before Terry stormed off
into the bank.

652
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:28,720
But you didn't need to find
a police telephone box.

653
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,240
Because according to this article,

654
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,760
that day you were driving
a Morris Isis.

655
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,000
<font color="

656
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,520
were trialling the superintendent's
new car radio.

657
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:46,680
Your call would have gone straight
through to the operations room.

658
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,880
Yes, I remember now, I did try...

659
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,600
..but they didn't pick up.

660
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,600
I doubt that, Inspector Rendon.

661
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,000
<font color="

662
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,480
on that day,

663
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,280
Superintendent Webber was in
the operations room

664
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,200
supervising his new system.

665
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,800
Your call would have gone
straight to him.

666
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,440
You're right.

667
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:11,680
It did.

668
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,240
<font color="

669
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,280
but to go straight in.

670
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,800
He wanted to prove his new systems
could fight crime more efficiently.

671
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,680
So into the bank we went.

672
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,320
Terry was ahead of me,

673
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,600
right in the line of fire.

674
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,000
Later, Gerald pulled me aside.

675
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,760
<font color="

676
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,520
Told me to tell everyone
Terry went rogue.

677
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,800
Said he'd help me with my career.

678
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,640
I knew how desperate Angie was
for me to be promoted.

679
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,280
But I've hated myself...

680
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,080
..and Gerald, ever since.

681
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,920
<font color="

682
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,920
did you fight with
Superintendent Webber?

683
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,200
No!

684
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,240
And you saw me -
I could barely stand!

685
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,520
Besides, I'd never hurt
someone like that.

686
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,440
Whenever I close my eyes,
<font color="

687
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,000
The blood...

688
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:09,440
Inspector Rendon, I urge you to tell
the truth about what happened.

689
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,640
It would destroy my career.

690
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,160
My wife would leave me.

691
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,840
You ever told anyone else
about this?

692
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,320

No, never. Not even...

695
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,440
Sub rosa, remember?

696
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,400
Michael? The Chief Constable
is asking after you!

697
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,680
What are you doing in here?

698
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,600
As if I have to ask.

699
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,080
<font color="

700
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:37,880

Oh! Of course!

702
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,920
APPLAUSE

703
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,520
And our final lot for this evening,

704
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,760
a Singer 201k sewing machine.

705
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,520
How about that, ladies?

706
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,640
Shall we start the bidding at £9?

707
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,840
Yes, £9.
<font color="

708
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,320
10?

709
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,160
Did I mention the vertical
rotary hook?

710
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,640
Maureen Appleton better not
win that over me!

711
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,800
And the cord and foot pedal are
a lovely matching grey.

712
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,280
Shouldn't you be in hospital?

713
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,000
<font color="
to visit you.

714
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,800
Oh, well, I shan't stay long.

715
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,560
I just need to win
that sewing machine.

716
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,040
11 pounds, 10 shillings?

717
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,080
Violet?! You made it!

718
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,280
11 pounds, 10 shillings...

719
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,520
Going, going, gone!

720
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,720
<font color="

721
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:37,400
APPLAUSE

722
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,720
Oh!

723
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:51,920
Father, we've raised such a lot.

724
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,000
We might even be able to pay
for another day trip

725
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,320
as well as the holiday to
Weston-Super-Mare.

726
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,200
That's marvellous news, Mrs Lawson,

727
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,400
<font color="

728
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:03,920
That is to say,

729
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,360
not if you admit to what you did
to Superintendent Webber.

730
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,400
Sorry?

731
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,800
You took a glass of water
to Inspector Rendon.

732
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,680
You said he'd passed out.

733
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,000
<font color="

734
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,520
The glass was half-empty.

735
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,880
In his turmoil,

736
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,520
did he drunkenly confess what really
happened at that bank robbery?

737
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,360
I don't know
what you're talking about.

738
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,360
That your husband was acting under
<font color="

739
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,800
You must have been terribly shocked.

740
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:45,600
Not shocked.

741
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:48,280
Angry.

742
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,400
I'd gone to ask Michael to support
my Queen's Police Medal campaign.

743
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,800
But he started crying.
Hmm.

744
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,440
<font color="
in the car,

745
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,840
how Gerald demanded they go in.

746
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,080
I couldn't believe it.

747
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,120
I went to Gerald,

748
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,840
but he didn't care.

749
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,360
You can't prove any of this.

750
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,160
Michael Rendon is a feckless drunk.

751
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,800
Then I'll get proof.

752
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,840
<font color="

753
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,600
Logs and files can be amended

754
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,000
as easily as witness statements,
Mrs Lawson.

755
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,360
Your husband will never get
the Queen's Police Medal.

756
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,680
He'll always be regarded as
a foolhardy idiot

757
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,760
<font color="

758
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,000
SUPERINTENDENT THUDS

00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,360
FOOTSTEPS

760
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,800
Hello?

761
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,760
Superintendent!

762
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,560
I didn't want to hit poor Violet,
but I panicked.

763
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,040
Uh!

764
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,040
What Superintendent Webber did
was wrong...

765
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,680
<font color="
the right to take his life.

766
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,000
He took my Terry from me

767
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,000
and then tried to ruin
his reputation with lies.

768
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,960
He deserved to pay!

769
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,760
And what about Mrs Goodfellow
and Mrs Webber?

770
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,160
<font color="
for your husband's death,

771
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,200
you took a life,

772
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,360
and then you put two innocent lives
in mortal danger.

773
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,040
I never meant to, Father.

774
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,000
You can't imagine how relieved I am
that Violet's all right.

775
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,440
<font color="
would be blamed.

776
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,280
Then you must confess.

777
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,440
So you can be at peace

778
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,760
and one day
be with your husband again.

779
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,400
I can't.

780
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,000
They'll lock me up
and throw away the key.

781
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,600
<font color="

782
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,240
Which is exactly what will happen
to Mrs Webber,

783
00:38:57,240 --> 00:38:58,600
for your crime.

784
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:04,720
Constable Lawson spent his life
upholding the law,

785
00:39:04,720 --> 00:39:06,280
not breaking it.

786
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,600
If he was here now,

787
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,560
what would he want you to do?

788
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,560
<font color="

789
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,720
And here is the total amount
raised from...

790
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:23,520
Thank you, Mrs Sullivan!

791
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,120
As de facto head of the Cotswold
Policeman's Wives Society,

792
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,520
it gives me great pleasure
to announce

793
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,040
that we have raised...

794
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,720
<font color="

795
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:38,880
APPLAUSE

796
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,080
Now, to tell us how the money
will be spent,

797
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,600
is Mrs Carole Lawson.

798
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,160
APPLAUSE

799
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,240
Thank you, everyone.

800
00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:59,000
The money raised will be spent on
a much-needed holiday

801
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,640
<font color="
police widows and orphans.

802
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,000
APPLAUSE

803
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,000
We all know
what a dangerous job it is...

804
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,080
..being a police officer.

805
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,600
And at times,
it can be just as difficult

806
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,000
<font color="

807
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,880
Never knowing what risky situations
our loved ones are facing.

808
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,560
But we also understand that that's
what we signed up for.

809
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:38,000
Our role as wives is to support
the men we love.

810
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,200
No matter what.

811
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,400
My late husband Terry
<font color="

812
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:47,680
right to the end.

813
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,640
He never questioned it.

814
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,360
He believed in upholding the law.

815
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,680
And so I want to make sure
I honour his memory

816
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,280
by doing the right thing...

817
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,520
..no matter difficult
or daunting it might be.

818
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,600
<font color="
he would want me to do.

819
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,200
Thank you, and goodbye.

00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,240
APPLAUSE

821
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,400
Please make sure the holiday
goes ahead, Father -

822
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,000
those women and children deserve it.

823
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,680
I will, Mrs Lawson.

824
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,000
Thank you.

825
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,760
<font color="

826
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,040
Inspector Sullivan,
can I speak to you for a minute?

827
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,520
I'll have to meet you at home,
I'm afraid.

828
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,840
I can't imagine what Carole
must have gone through,

829
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,280
discovering the truth.

830
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,160
<font color="
following orders.

831
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:01,880
That could've been us.

832
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,840
JOYCE: I re-worked the article
to tell the full story.

833
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,320
I'm sure Carole will take
real comfort from that.

834
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,000
And the byline is
<font color="

835
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,360
Yes, Father.

836
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,080
The Enquirer has offered me a job
as a staff reporter.

837
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,440
Congratulations!

838
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:33,920
Oh, talking of jobs,

839
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,200
thank you so much for helping me
with the parish returns.

840
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,360
Oh, I did have a little help.

841
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,320
<font color="
the tallies and that -

842
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,520
you did the rest.

843
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,400
Impressive work, Miss Palmer.
Well done.

844
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,000
So what happened to Michael Rendon
after he admitted he lied?

845
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,000
He's been suspended
pending an internal investigation -

846
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,320
<font color="

847
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,600
That's a shame.

848
00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,120
I imagine it is Mrs Rendon
who will feel it most keenly.

849
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,000
Oh! If she leaves
the Policeman's Wives Society,

850
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,720
you could take over, Miss S?
Oh, no thank you, Brenda.

851
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:09,920
Forget being the perfect
<font color="

852
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,280
I think the key to
a successful marriage

853
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,000
is being supportive and honest
with each other.

854
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,560
Well, it's worked well for
Daniel and I these past 25 years.

855
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,680
Mm!

856
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,720
Isabel, I know
<font color="

857
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:27,040
that we didn't secure that wonderful
figurine at the auction,

858
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,680
so, after visiting a lot of dealers

859
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,560
and paying an extortionate amount,

860
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,400
I found this one for you instead!

861
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,760
Oh, Edgar!

862
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,680
I don't know what to say!
