212

213

to buy this cottage,

I see.

379
00:17:27,445 --> 00:17:28,812
Bad this morning?

380
00:17:33,050 --> 00:17:34,551
We'll go and have a word

381
00:17:34,619 --> 00:17:35,552
with Mr. Plod.

382
00:17:40,558 --> 00:17:43,360
Before he sets out in his panda.

383
00:17:45,096 --> 00:17:46,429
I want you to come home.

384
00:17:46,498 --> 00:17:47,931
I've left home.

385
00:17:47,999 --> 00:17:49,566
I'm on my own now.

386
00:17:49,634 --> 00:17:51,602
I'm in responsible employment

387
00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:52,603
of public importance.

388
00:17:52,670 --> 00:17:53,971
You're still my boy.

389
00:17:54,038 --> 00:17:56,239
Come home, Geoffrey.

390
00:17:56,307 --> 00:17:59,409
Since your dad left...

391
00:17:59,477 --> 00:18:00,744
I can't live alone.

392
00:18:00,812 --> 00:18:03,680
It's wrong to force me.

393
00:18:03,748 --> 00:18:05,015
You'd better come in.

394
00:18:08,152 --> 00:18:10,186
Aspects of this case puzzle me.

395
00:18:10,254 --> 00:18:11,788
Why a football game?

396
00:18:11,856 --> 00:18:14,391
He was going to kill
himself, Mrs. Wainthropp.

397
00:18:14,458 --> 00:18:16,593
He put on the clothes
that he was happiest in

398
00:18:16,661 --> 00:18:17,594
long ago.

[Humming]

400
00:18:18,663 --> 00:18:19,830
There was a postmortem?

401
00:18:19,898 --> 00:18:21,197
Always is.

402
00:18:21,265 --> 00:18:23,901
Was he suffering any terminal diseases,

403
00:18:23,968 --> 00:18:25,936
did they find out? Cancer?

404
00:18:26,004 --> 00:18:27,704
Dog eggs. I don't know
where you get them from.

405
00:18:27,772 --> 00:18:29,940
They're murder to get rid of.

406
00:18:30,008 --> 00:18:32,609
No terminal diseases of any kind.

407
00:18:32,677 --> 00:18:33,944
For a man of his age,

408
00:18:34,012 --> 00:18:36,212
he was in excellent health.

409
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,380
And he didn't leave a note?

410
00:18:37,448 --> 00:18:38,882
No note was found.

411
00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:40,551
You don't think that's strange?

for killing themselves

are their own business.

415
00:18:44,689 --> 00:18:46,990
They're not a proper subject

416
00:18:47,058 --> 00:18:47,991
for police inquiry.

00:18:48,059 --> 00:18:51,127
Darlington 3, Manchester City 2...

418
00:18:51,195 --> 00:18:52,829
Is Mr. Wainthropp all right?

419
00:18:52,897 --> 00:18:54,497
It's called grieving, Constable.

420
00:18:54,566 --> 00:18:56,232
We all have our own way of doing it.

426
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:19,056
and hung up there to be found?

427
00:19:20,291 --> 00:19:23,359
Turn that thing off!

The drop killed him.

434
00:19:33,104 --> 00:19:34,137
He took his life

435
00:19:34,205 --> 00:19:35,572
while the balance of his mind

436
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,840
was disturbed.

437
00:19:36,908 --> 00:19:37,841
Ah!

438
00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:39,643

Do what?

442
00:19:43,514 --> 00:19:45,381
Become forgetful? Selfish?

443
00:19:45,449 --> 00:19:47,751
Easily frightened? Revert to childhood?

Oh, just one more question.

460

We found a book.

461
00:20:30,361 --> 00:20:31,561
"The Witches of Readsby."

462
00:20:31,629 --> 00:20:33,263

539
00:23:30,975 --> 00:23:32,509

be a practical Christian,

564
00:24:16,420 --> 00:24:17,353
Sacrifice?

565
00:24:17,421 --> 00:24:18,354
It'll be there.

566
00:24:18,422 --> 00:24:19,355
A goat?

567
00:24:19,423 --> 00:24:20,657
From the organic dairy.

568
00:24:20,725 --> 00:24:21,858
I would have liked to have had one

569
00:24:21,926 --> 00:24:22,859
from Readsby,

570
00:24:22,927 --> 00:24:24,227
but needs must when the devil drives.

571
00:24:24,295 --> 00:24:26,296
[Laughter]

572
00:24:37,075 --> 00:24:38,575
Any better?

573
00:24:38,642 --> 00:24:39,976
It comes in gusts.

574
00:24:41,713 --> 00:24:44,081
This can't go on.

575
00:24:44,148 --> 00:24:47,250
I--I'd best
go on, love.

576
00:24:47,318 --> 00:24:48,618
I'm no use to you here.

577
00:24:49,921 --> 00:24:51,487
We'll both go.

578
00:24:53,290 --> 00:24:54,624
Witchcraft.

579
00:24:54,692 --> 00:24:56,426
I'm clutching at straws.

580
00:24:56,493 --> 00:24:58,494
He was an old man. He was lonely.

581
00:24:58,562 --> 00:24:59,796
He killed himself.

582
00:24:59,864 --> 00:25:01,431
End of story.

583
00:25:03,134 --> 00:25:04,434
You can't give up.

584
00:25:04,501 --> 00:25:06,103
"Childhood hero."

585
00:25:06,170 --> 00:25:08,872
You've never shown any
interest in football.

586
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:10,473
I followed football
regular before I met you.

587
00:25:10,541 --> 00:25:11,608
Are you
suggesting--

588
00:25:11,675 --> 00:25:13,476
Hear me out, love.

589
00:25:13,544 --> 00:25:18,181
1946-53. Uncle Albert's great days.

590
00:25:18,249 --> 00:25:20,250
I worshipped him.

591
00:25:20,317 --> 00:25:24,154
1948, Cup Tie at Wembley.

592
00:25:24,222 --> 00:25:26,823
99,000 attendants,

593
00:25:26,891 --> 00:25:27,991
and I were there in the best seats

594
00:25:28,059 --> 00:25:30,060
with Aunt Em and my brother Frank.

595
00:25:31,462 --> 00:25:34,197
1952-53.

596
00:25:34,265 --> 00:25:37,868
He did his leg in. It
were never right after.

597
00:25:37,935 --> 00:25:40,570
'53-54, his last season.

598
00:25:42,039 --> 00:25:44,507
Crystal Palace at home. They booed him.

599
00:25:45,777 --> 00:25:47,610
His own fans booed him.

600
00:25:50,581 --> 00:25:52,582
I had gone to the match with me mates.

601
00:25:55,352 --> 00:25:57,120
I booed with the others.

602
00:26:02,260 --> 00:26:03,660
He can't have known that.

603
00:26:05,562 --> 00:26:07,063
I knew.

604
00:26:08,199 --> 00:26:09,732
I stayed away after.

605
00:26:11,368 --> 00:26:13,603
I expect he thought I were ashamed of him.

606
00:26:15,173 --> 00:26:16,807
I were ashamed of meself.

607
00:26:18,943 --> 00:26:21,945
What do you want me to do?

608
00:26:22,013 --> 00:26:24,480
Put me mind at rest.

609
00:26:28,786 --> 00:26:30,053
Here it is.

610
00:26:30,121 --> 00:26:32,355
FA Cup presentation ceremony.

611
00:26:32,423 --> 00:26:34,490
Uncle Albert got his
medal with the rest--

612
00:26:34,558 --> 00:26:36,726
18-carat
gold--

613
00:26:36,794 --> 00:26:38,795
and he let me hold it.

614
00:26:38,863 --> 00:26:41,164
Oh, they were heroes in them days.

615
00:26:41,232 --> 00:26:42,799
Hang on.

616
00:26:42,867 --> 00:26:44,467
You what?

617
00:26:44,535 --> 00:26:46,303
Where's that medal now?

618
00:26:47,638 --> 00:26:49,739
He kept everything.

619
00:26:49,807 --> 00:26:51,641
All the
memorabilia--

620
00:26:51,709 --> 00:26:54,177
boots, jockstraps, shinpads.

621
00:26:54,245 --> 00:26:55,278
You said yourself

622
00:26:55,346 --> 00:26:57,113
the very blood that he shed at Wembley

623
00:26:57,181 --> 00:26:58,849
was on those pads.

624
00:26:58,916 --> 00:27:01,517
Where's that gold medal?

625
00:27:01,585 --> 00:27:03,286
He must have sold it.

626
00:27:03,354 --> 00:27:06,990
Why would he need money that badly?

627
00:27:08,459 --> 00:27:10,293
Got it! What?

628
00:27:11,628 --> 00:27:13,029
Pawn ticket!

629
00:27:18,302 --> 00:27:20,904
You'll go on with the case, then?

630
00:27:20,972 --> 00:27:23,306
I want Geoffrey here by tomorrow morning.

631
00:27:23,374 --> 00:27:25,241
There's no bus till Tuesday.

632
00:27:25,309 --> 00:27:26,342
Tell him to borrow the scooter

633
00:27:26,410 --> 00:27:28,211
from that friend of his.

634
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:31,214
If he can't, he can cycle 30 miles.

635
00:27:31,282 --> 00:27:32,282
They think nothing of that

636
00:27:32,349 --> 00:27:34,016
in the Tour de France.

637
00:27:34,085 --> 00:27:36,986
Now, you'll be in our own bed by tonight.

638
00:27:37,054 --> 00:27:38,455
I'll miss that.

639
00:27:39,723 --> 00:27:41,324
Don't forget.

640
00:27:41,392 --> 00:27:42,592
When you reach Ackersly,

641
00:27:42,659 --> 00:27:44,394
before you get the bus home,

642
00:27:44,462 --> 00:27:47,330
look for the 3 brass balls

643
00:27:47,398 --> 00:27:50,666
and see who pawned that medal.

644
00:27:50,734 --> 00:27:53,236
I'll phone this evening,

645
00:27:53,304 --> 00:27:56,406
at home, about 6:00.

646
00:27:57,908 --> 00:27:59,875
Will this taxi make it as far as Ackersly,

647
00:27:59,943 --> 00:28:01,611
do you think, in this condition?

648
00:28:01,678 --> 00:28:03,413
Well, it always has done.

649
00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:10,587
There's always got to
be a first time, though.

650
00:28:49,059 --> 00:28:50,126
You're a detective.

651
00:28:50,194 --> 00:28:52,128
How do you know that?

652
00:28:52,196 --> 00:28:55,064
Everyone in the village knows by now.

653
00:29:06,877 --> 00:29:08,511
You can't come in, Mr. Wainthropp,

654
00:29:08,579 --> 00:29:09,712
without I talk to you first.

655
00:29:12,249 --> 00:29:13,583
It was me that found him.

656
00:29:15,986 --> 00:29:17,720
How come?

657
00:29:17,788 --> 00:29:19,989
We were doing a project at school.

658
00:29:20,057 --> 00:29:21,457
The village school?

659
00:29:21,525 --> 00:29:23,993
Only the little ones go
to the village school.

660
00:29:24,061 --> 00:29:24,994
We're at the comprehensive

661
00:29:25,062 --> 00:29:26,563
at Ackersly...

662
00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:28,064
when we bother to go.

663
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,567
What sort of project?

664
00:29:30,634 --> 00:29:32,702
We never had them in my day.

665
00:29:32,769 --> 00:29:34,437
Social studies.

666
00:29:34,505 --> 00:29:36,706
Care for an old person for a month,

667
00:29:36,773 --> 00:29:38,541
and then write a dissertation.

668
00:29:38,609 --> 00:29:39,775
Stupid.

669
00:29:39,843 --> 00:29:41,544
You can't stop after a month.

670
00:29:41,612 --> 00:29:43,446
No, of course you can't,

671
00:29:43,514 --> 00:29:45,281
but I expect some did.

672
00:29:46,650 --> 00:29:47,717
We learned our tables

673
00:29:47,784 --> 00:29:50,119
and the kings and queens of England.

674
00:29:50,187 --> 00:29:51,654
Probably did less damage.

675
00:29:53,123 --> 00:29:55,124
I used to come
around most days--

676
00:29:55,192 --> 00:29:56,526
darn his socks,

677
00:29:56,594 --> 00:29:57,627
do a bit of shopping,

678
00:29:57,695 --> 00:29:59,395
talk about the old times.

679
00:29:59,463 --> 00:30:02,198
Well, he'd talk. I listened.

680
00:30:02,266 --> 00:30:06,669
Miss Horner came round
most days, too, she said.

681
00:30:06,737 --> 00:30:08,304
We never overlapped.

682
00:30:08,372 --> 00:30:10,240
He didn't like her.

683
00:30:12,809 --> 00:30:13,976
You're reading my book?

684
00:30:18,415 --> 00:30:20,049
I lied.

685
00:30:20,117 --> 00:30:21,050
It wasn't the landlady

686
00:30:21,118 --> 00:30:22,184
at the Baden-Powell building

687
00:30:22,253 --> 00:30:23,620
who was making a pass at me.

688
00:30:25,155 --> 00:30:26,822
It was my mother.

689
00:30:26,890 --> 00:30:29,158
She'd found out where I was living.

690
00:30:29,226 --> 00:30:31,827
She comes around, she won't leave me.

691
00:30:31,895 --> 00:30:32,928
She's on at me all the time

692
00:30:32,996 --> 00:30:34,964
to go back home.

693
00:30:35,031 --> 00:30:37,166
Some parents turn their children out.

694
00:30:37,234 --> 00:30:38,968
I won't go back, Mr. Wainthropp.

695
00:30:39,035 --> 00:30:41,871
Since me dad
walked out, it's--

696
00:30:41,938 --> 00:30:43,640
it's just too heavy.

697
00:30:43,707 --> 00:30:45,375
Oh.

698
00:30:45,442 --> 00:30:47,109
Well, I'll tell you what.

699
00:30:47,177 --> 00:30:49,111
You don't have to live with her,

700
00:30:49,179 --> 00:30:51,981
but you should visit sometimes.

701
00:30:52,048 --> 00:30:55,718
If you never visit folk
when they're alive...

702
00:30:55,786 --> 00:30:57,820
you'll feel bad when they die.

703
00:31:01,258 --> 00:31:02,858
There's a drawing in it.

704
00:31:04,094 --> 00:31:05,961
Satan.

705
00:31:06,029 --> 00:31:07,129
I did that.

706
00:31:09,366 --> 00:31:11,567
I thought it might be his.

707
00:31:11,635 --> 00:31:14,870
Something he left, like a note.

708
00:31:14,938 --> 00:31:16,572
He never left a note.

709
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,475
They asked me. I'd have seen it.

710
00:31:19,543 --> 00:31:22,178
Why did you give him a book about witches?

711
00:31:22,245 --> 00:31:24,180
Well, we were talking about it,

712
00:31:24,247 --> 00:31:25,948
and he was interested.

713
00:31:26,016 --> 00:31:27,550
It's the old religion, isn't it?

714
00:31:27,618 --> 00:31:30,320
Never died out.

715
00:31:30,387 --> 00:31:33,022
Better than ours in some ways.

716
00:31:33,089 --> 00:31:34,190
What ways?

717
00:31:34,257 --> 00:31:35,925
Women in control.

718
00:31:40,664 --> 00:31:41,664
[Door closes]

719
00:31:44,134 --> 00:31:45,468
I suppose you and me

720
00:31:45,536 --> 00:31:47,603
ought to have a bit of a conflab.

721
00:31:47,671 --> 00:31:48,604
[Telephone ringing]

722
00:31:48,672 --> 00:31:50,139
Oh. That'll be Hetty.

723
00:31:52,810 --> 00:31:55,277
HETTY: We can't be long!

724
00:31:55,346 --> 00:31:57,112
There's somebody waiting!

725
00:31:59,216 --> 00:32:01,250
Was the medal there?

726
00:32:01,318 --> 00:32:02,585
Aye.

727
00:32:02,653 --> 00:32:04,587
He wouldn't part with it, though.

728
00:32:04,655 --> 00:32:07,690
The time's gone by.

729
00:32:07,758 --> 00:32:11,260
Says he's a football aficionado.

730
00:32:11,328 --> 00:32:13,763
I reckon it was the 18-carat gold.

731
00:32:13,831 --> 00:32:15,365
Who brought it in?

732
00:32:15,432 --> 00:32:16,966
He can't remember,

733
00:32:17,033 --> 00:32:17,967
and he wouldn't show me

734
00:32:18,034 --> 00:32:18,968
his record book.

735
00:32:19,035 --> 00:32:20,570
Says it's confidential.

736
00:32:20,637 --> 00:32:21,937
Nil desperandum.

737
00:32:26,543 --> 00:32:27,477
Doing a bit of detecting,

738
00:32:27,544 --> 00:32:28,478
are you?

739
00:32:28,545 --> 00:32:29,746
You have nice weather for it.

740
00:32:31,815 --> 00:32:32,749
He'll visit.

741
00:32:32,816 --> 00:32:34,550
Promise?

742
00:32:34,618 --> 00:32:36,252
Not up to me to promise.

743
00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:37,953
He's promised.

744
00:32:38,021 --> 00:32:40,490
It's a proper job, missis.

745
00:32:40,557 --> 00:32:41,791
With prospects?

746
00:32:41,859 --> 00:32:43,459
There's honest prospects.

747
00:33:01,945 --> 00:33:04,614
Walpurgis Night.

748
00:33:07,584 --> 00:33:09,452
[Laughter]

749
00:33:14,758 --> 00:33:16,459
[Geoffrey panting]

750
00:33:18,495 --> 00:33:19,562
Oh, food!

751
00:33:19,630 --> 00:33:21,363
Mr. Wainthropp sent it.

752
00:33:21,432 --> 00:33:23,299
We've a lot to do, Geoffrey.

753
00:33:23,366 --> 00:33:24,600
Done a lot already.

754
00:33:24,668 --> 00:33:26,536
I've cycled 33 miles,

755
00:33:26,603 --> 00:33:28,370
mostly uphill, with that French stick

756
00:33:28,439 --> 00:33:29,639
knocking a dent in my chin.

757
00:33:29,706 --> 00:33:31,674
That's nothing to a lad of your age.

758
00:33:31,742 --> 00:33:33,509
Why didn't you borrow
your friend's scooter?

759
00:33:33,577 --> 00:33:35,044
I couldn't. It was in use.

760
00:33:35,111 --> 00:33:36,045
Ohh.

761
00:33:36,112 --> 00:33:39,114
Brass rubbing in the Cotswolds.

762
00:33:39,182 --> 00:33:40,115
You'd better have a bite to eat,

763
00:33:40,183 --> 00:33:41,183
and then we'll set off.

764
00:33:42,953 --> 00:33:44,854
I watched two people cross that field

765
00:33:44,922 --> 00:33:48,223
with an old stone sink in a wheelbarrow.

766
00:33:48,291 --> 00:33:50,893
That has to mean something.

767
00:33:54,331 --> 00:33:56,432
Mmm.

768
00:33:56,500 --> 00:33:58,000
There's been times these past two days

769
00:33:58,068 --> 00:34:00,002
I could have killed for spring onions

770
00:34:00,070 --> 00:34:01,604
and crusty bread.

771
00:34:01,672 --> 00:34:04,941
There's something strange
about this village.

772
00:34:05,008 --> 00:34:06,141
You know there were witches here.

773
00:34:06,209 --> 00:34:08,043
There were witches all over Lancashire.

774
00:34:08,111 --> 00:34:12,081
They confessed to congress with Satan.

775
00:34:12,148 --> 00:34:13,783
They had meetings, Sabbaths.

776
00:34:13,851 --> 00:34:16,452
They had familiar
spirits-- cats, mostly.

777
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,754
It's all in this book,
"The Witches of Readsby."

778
00:34:18,822 --> 00:34:19,889
Mrs. Wainthropp,

779
00:34:19,957 --> 00:34:21,958
it's me you send to the reference library.

780
00:34:22,025 --> 00:34:23,493
I do the books.

781
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,096
Listen, and you may learn something.

782
00:34:27,163 --> 00:34:28,764
It's beginning to add up.

783
00:34:28,832 --> 00:34:30,766
Small things.

784
00:34:30,834 --> 00:34:33,736
Corn dollies sold at the general store.

785
00:34:33,804 --> 00:34:36,606
Girls in the street spinning widdershins.

786
00:34:36,673 --> 00:34:39,742
That's anticlockwise,
the way witches spin.

787
00:34:39,810 --> 00:34:42,778
A cat that's everywhere,
almost as if it's human,

788
00:34:42,846 --> 00:34:44,547
and they all take it for granted.

789
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,382
A church neglected.

790
00:34:47,651 --> 00:34:49,018
Where's it going?

791
00:34:50,821 --> 00:34:51,754
There's no doubt

792
00:34:51,822 --> 00:34:54,156
that the old man committed suicide.

793
00:34:54,224 --> 00:34:56,325
There's no getting away from that.

794
00:34:56,393 --> 00:35:00,262
But tonight is Walpurgis Night.

795
00:35:00,330 --> 00:35:01,631
[Door opens]

796
00:35:01,698 --> 00:35:03,298
[Silverware clanks]

797
00:35:07,938 --> 00:35:09,605
You saw the food arrive?

798
00:35:12,743 --> 00:35:14,276
All right.

799
00:35:17,915 --> 00:35:20,516
This is Lottie from next door.

800
00:35:20,584 --> 00:35:21,717
Hello.

801
00:35:21,785 --> 00:35:23,318
Cut her a piece of bread, will you,

802
00:35:23,386 --> 00:35:24,921
Geoffrey, please?

803
00:35:26,823 --> 00:35:28,658
I'm gonna pop in in a moment

804
00:35:28,725 --> 00:35:29,759
to make sure you've not

805
00:35:29,826 --> 00:35:31,594
left the bath running again.

806
00:35:32,729 --> 00:35:33,863
LOTTIE: Old ladies my age

807
00:35:33,931 --> 00:35:36,032
don't have baths,

808
00:35:36,099 --> 00:35:37,232
unless there's someone sanding by

809
00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:38,233
to fish us out.

810
00:35:38,301 --> 00:35:40,002
Then why was the...

811
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:44,540
Never mind.

812
00:35:47,410 --> 00:35:50,680
Who's the Queen of England?

813
00:36:22,312 --> 00:36:23,212
HETTY: Wet.

814
00:36:32,422 --> 00:36:33,288
Let's go round.

815
00:36:39,529 --> 00:36:40,763
Have a look at this.

816
00:36:42,198 --> 00:36:44,867
Looks like a hanging tree.

817
00:36:46,069 --> 00:36:47,637
Shouldn't we go and tell the police?

818
00:36:50,540 --> 00:36:53,342
There are 3 reasons why not, Geoffrey.

819
00:36:53,409 --> 00:36:55,444
One, he won't be back till this evening.

820
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,214
Two, there's still religious freedom

821
00:36:59,282 --> 00:37:00,449
in this country,

822
00:37:00,517 --> 00:37:02,685
and unless they actually hang somebody,

823
00:37:02,753 --> 00:37:06,421
they're not committing a criminal offense.

824
00:37:06,489 --> 00:37:08,691
And 3...

825
00:37:08,759 --> 00:37:10,893
I'm not sure his wife isn't one of them.

826
00:37:15,465 --> 00:37:17,066
We won't take any risks.

827
00:37:19,903 --> 00:37:21,170
We'll black our faces

828
00:37:21,237 --> 00:37:22,872
and hide.

829
00:37:22,939 --> 00:37:24,774
We'll be back here by midnight.

830
00:37:26,076 --> 00:37:28,144
Then we'll see what we see.

831
00:37:28,211 --> 00:37:30,079
[Drumming and chanting]

832
00:37:35,185 --> 00:37:37,119
[Shouting]

833
00:37:48,431 --> 00:37:49,598
[Baas]

834
00:37:49,666 --> 00:37:51,233
[Laughter]

835
00:37:57,540 --> 00:37:58,607
[Drumming stops]

836
00:37:58,675 --> 00:38:00,242
MAN: Have you heard the body

837
00:38:00,310 --> 00:38:03,913
that steals the bread
and hides behind the door?

838
00:38:03,980 --> 00:38:08,283
Some say that Satan is
dead and buried and cold.

839
00:38:08,351 --> 00:38:09,819
Satan!

840
00:38:09,886 --> 00:38:12,922
ALL: Satan!

841
00:38:12,989 --> 00:38:14,023
DIFFERENT MAN: Welcome, my children,

842
00:38:14,091 --> 00:38:15,157
Welcome.

843
00:38:15,225 --> 00:38:18,160
Feast...and fornicate.

844
00:38:18,228 --> 00:38:19,829
Fornicate!

845
00:38:19,896 --> 00:38:23,565
But first, I shall require due sacrifice.

846
00:38:23,633 --> 00:38:25,134
ALL: Sacrifice!

847
00:38:25,202 --> 00:38:27,002
[All talking at once]

848
00:38:27,070 --> 00:38:29,205
Sacrifice! Sacrifice!

849
00:38:29,272 --> 00:38:31,306
Let the chosen virgin come forth.

850
00:38:31,374 --> 00:38:32,608
Virgin.

851
00:38:39,916 --> 00:38:41,984
I may have to interfere.

852
00:38:42,052 --> 00:38:43,753
But you can't.

853
00:38:43,820 --> 00:38:46,989
SATAN: Do you give this
child to me unconditionally?

854
00:38:47,057 --> 00:38:48,323
I do.

855
00:38:48,391 --> 00:38:50,760
Has she been soothed
with the juice of poppies?

856
00:38:50,827 --> 00:38:52,061
She has.

857
00:38:52,129 --> 00:38:53,528
Is she unsullied and unblemished,

858
00:38:53,596 --> 00:38:55,697
pure in thought, word, and deed?

859
00:38:55,766 --> 00:38:57,399
She is.

860
00:38:58,969 --> 00:39:01,170
ALL: Sacrifice.

861
00:39:15,418 --> 00:39:17,019
We can't have this.

862
00:39:17,087 --> 00:39:19,454
It must be stopped...now.

863
00:39:22,225 --> 00:39:23,358
[Crying]

864
00:39:23,426 --> 00:39:24,359
Shh. Shh.

865
00:39:24,427 --> 00:39:25,594
She's not supposed to cry.

866
00:39:25,662 --> 00:39:27,596
Don't shout at her like that.

867
00:39:27,664 --> 00:39:28,597
Go back to the village.

868
00:39:28,665 --> 00:39:30,232
Go straight to the policeman's house.

869
00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:31,267
I'll hold them somehow

870
00:39:31,334 --> 00:39:33,269
till he gets here.

871
00:39:33,336 --> 00:39:34,270
OK.

872
00:39:34,337 --> 00:39:35,271
[Crying]

873
00:39:35,338 --> 00:39:37,206
HETTY: All right!

874
00:39:37,274 --> 00:39:39,074
That's enough!

875
00:39:39,142 --> 00:39:40,442
You can stop this at once.

876
00:39:40,510 --> 00:39:42,611
I won't have it!

877
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:44,379
Freedom of worship
is one thing--

878
00:39:44,447 --> 00:39:46,415
no objection to that.

879
00:39:46,482 --> 00:39:49,618
But you lot are going too far.

880
00:39:49,686 --> 00:39:50,886
My advice to you would be

881
00:39:50,954 --> 00:39:52,387
to make yourselves scarce

882
00:39:52,455 --> 00:39:53,789
quick as you can.

883
00:39:53,857 --> 00:39:55,157
The police are already informed

884
00:39:55,225 --> 00:39:56,158
and on their way.

885
00:39:56,226 --> 00:39:58,093
[Laughter]

886
00:40:00,230 --> 00:40:02,431
Don't you laugh at me.

887
00:40:04,901 --> 00:40:07,736
Don't dare laugh at me!

888
00:40:09,172 --> 00:40:11,807
I'm a fully qualified private detective,

889
00:40:11,875 --> 00:40:13,976
well-known in the West Lancashire area,

890
00:40:14,044 --> 00:40:15,577
with an advert in the yellow pages.

891
00:40:15,645 --> 00:40:16,846
[Laughter]

892
00:40:16,913 --> 00:40:19,581
I've got connections!

893
00:40:26,289 --> 00:40:28,991
Of course you have...

894
00:40:29,059 --> 00:40:30,826
Mrs. Wainthropp.

895
00:40:30,894 --> 00:40:32,761
[Laughter]

896
00:40:34,664 --> 00:40:36,198
Cut!

897
00:40:36,266 --> 00:40:38,234
All right! Cut it there!

898
00:40:38,301 --> 00:40:40,569
Set up to go again from Satan's entrance.

899
00:40:40,636 --> 00:40:42,872
I'll talk to her.

900
00:40:42,939 --> 00:40:45,174
Now, I don't care which
comes first, madam,

901
00:40:45,242 --> 00:40:46,508
an explanation or an apology.

902
00:40:46,576 --> 00:40:47,509
Both are due.

903
00:40:47,577 --> 00:40:49,444
It's not up to me to explain myself

904
00:40:49,512 --> 00:40:51,113
or apologize.

905
00:40:51,181 --> 00:40:53,249
I'm not engaged in satanic practices.

906
00:40:53,316 --> 00:40:54,616
There have been no satanic practices

907
00:40:54,684 --> 00:40:55,851
here, madam.

908
00:40:55,919 --> 00:40:59,221
No human being or animal
has been or will be hurt.

909
00:40:59,289 --> 00:41:00,489
This little girl was crying.

910
00:41:00,556 --> 00:41:01,656
She was terrified.

911
00:41:01,724 --> 00:41:03,926
She was crying because the
stinkweed in the garlands

912
00:41:03,994 --> 00:41:05,294
brings her out in a rash.

913
00:41:05,362 --> 00:41:07,462
Antihistamine cream,
however, has been provided.

914
00:41:07,530 --> 00:41:09,765
Now, don't try and soft-soap me.

915
00:41:09,832 --> 00:41:11,000
I talked to Hannah.

916
00:41:11,067 --> 00:41:13,568
She told me about the old religion.

917
00:41:13,636 --> 00:41:14,569
Oh, yes.

918
00:41:14,637 --> 00:41:16,171
She's a very intelligent girl.

919
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,473
[All murmur agreement]

920
00:41:18,541 --> 00:41:20,109
She will go a long way.

921
00:41:20,176 --> 00:41:21,576
She's studied the whole subject.

922
00:41:21,644 --> 00:41:23,045
She wrote most of the script.

923
00:41:23,113 --> 00:41:24,046
You see, madam,

924
00:41:24,114 --> 00:41:26,115
what you've just blundered into, madam,

925
00:41:26,182 --> 00:41:28,850
is the making of a community video,

926
00:41:28,919 --> 00:41:30,852
"The Witches of Readsby," in aid...

927
00:41:30,921 --> 00:41:33,122
of muscular dystrophy.

928
00:41:33,189 --> 00:41:34,990
[All chattering]

929
00:41:36,126 --> 00:41:38,727
Now, if you wish to satisfy yourself,

930
00:41:38,795 --> 00:41:41,430
you are welcome to stay and watch,

931
00:41:41,497 --> 00:41:42,731
but please,

932
00:41:42,799 --> 00:41:45,935
don't interrupt again.

933
00:41:46,002 --> 00:41:47,869
[All talking at once]

934
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:51,907
Ready when you are, Mr. De Mille!

935
00:41:53,376 --> 00:41:55,244
[Drumming]

936
00:41:56,746 --> 00:41:58,613
[Man shouting]

937
00:42:04,220 --> 00:42:05,554
I've made some tea.

938
00:42:05,622 --> 00:42:06,588
Oh...

939
00:42:06,657 --> 00:42:08,858
just set it down, please.

940
00:42:10,027 --> 00:42:13,062
Ha! Jumping to conclusions.

941
00:42:13,130 --> 00:42:15,297
You've always jumped, Mrs. Wainthropp.

942
00:42:15,365 --> 00:42:17,033
I was supposed to be a grieving relative,

943
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:18,634
not a detective,

944
00:42:18,702 --> 00:42:19,802
but I blundered about,

945
00:42:19,870 --> 00:42:22,104
cross-examining everything in sight.

946
00:42:22,172 --> 00:42:23,105
Nobody was
deceived--

947
00:42:23,173 --> 00:42:25,474
laughing at me behind their hands.

948
00:42:25,542 --> 00:42:27,677
Even Looney Lottie
next door was--

949
00:42:27,744 --> 00:42:28,811
even--

950
00:42:28,879 --> 00:42:30,379
Mrs. Wainthropp.

951
00:42:30,446 --> 00:42:31,847
[Exhales deeply]

952
00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:35,284
Walked me over the wallflowers.

953
00:42:35,351 --> 00:42:36,285
You what?

954
00:42:36,352 --> 00:42:38,420
"Old ladies my age don't have baths

955
00:42:38,488 --> 00:42:39,421
"unless there's somebody there

956
00:42:39,489 --> 00:42:41,057
to fish us out."

957
00:42:41,124 --> 00:42:43,625
And these scorch marks on the hearth rug.

958
00:42:43,694 --> 00:42:45,928
But Uncle Albert could cope, she said.

959
00:42:45,996 --> 00:42:47,963
Are you all right in
yourself, Mrs. Wainthropp?

960
00:42:48,031 --> 00:42:50,099
Ha ha ha! A fool!

961
00:42:50,167 --> 00:42:52,634
A fool! I've been a fool!

962
00:42:52,703 --> 00:42:53,969
Yes, Mrs. Wainthropp.

963
00:42:54,037 --> 00:42:56,038
Well, don't agree with me.

964
00:42:56,106 --> 00:42:57,106
Do you think it's too late

965
00:42:57,174 --> 00:42:59,641
to go next door and talk to Lottie now?

966
00:43:01,912 --> 00:43:03,913
HETTY: When I came over to see you,

967
00:43:03,980 --> 00:43:06,115
a Miss Horner
was there--

968
00:43:06,183 --> 00:43:07,817
the day the bath ran over.

969
00:43:07,884 --> 00:43:09,484
Do you remember that?

970
00:43:10,821 --> 00:43:12,922
Did Miss Horner go upstairs

971
00:43:12,989 --> 00:43:15,725
just before I arrived?

972
00:43:15,792 --> 00:43:17,793
What day is it? Saturday?

973
00:43:17,861 --> 00:43:18,894
Right!

974
00:43:18,962 --> 00:43:21,330
Saturday today.

975
00:43:21,397 --> 00:43:23,432
Thursday then.

976
00:43:23,499 --> 00:43:26,969
Did Miss Horner go upstairs?

977
00:43:28,872 --> 00:43:30,806
Who's the Queen of England?

978
00:43:32,109 --> 00:43:35,211
I'll put it another way.

979
00:43:35,278 --> 00:43:39,481
Is Miss Horner always with you

980
00:43:39,549 --> 00:43:42,218
when bad things happen?

981
00:43:42,285 --> 00:43:45,888
Water overflows, the cooker's left on.

982
00:43:45,956 --> 00:43:49,225
Do these things ever happen

983
00:43:49,292 --> 00:43:50,893
when she's not there?

984
00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:53,295
Most days, she comes to see us,

985
00:43:53,363 --> 00:43:55,430
Albert Bradshaw
and me--

986
00:43:55,498 --> 00:43:58,000
Albert first, then me.

987
00:43:58,068 --> 00:44:00,002
Albert first?

988
00:44:01,772 --> 00:44:04,473
Did she come the day he hanged himself?

989
00:44:07,577 --> 00:44:11,847
Did Miss Horner come to see you that day

990
00:44:11,915 --> 00:44:15,151
and go in to see Albert first,

991
00:44:15,218 --> 00:44:17,419
as she always did?

992
00:44:19,522 --> 00:44:21,757
Are you taking possession?

993
00:44:21,825 --> 00:44:23,558
Did you give her money, Lottie?

994
00:44:28,165 --> 00:44:29,564
[Sobbing]

995
00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:33,535
[Whimpers]

996
00:44:35,571 --> 00:44:36,906
I thought so.

997
00:44:39,442 --> 00:44:42,077
How many other old dears in the village

998
00:44:42,145 --> 00:44:45,681
did Miss Horner visit most days?

999
00:44:52,189 --> 00:44:54,589
I shall need the names, Lottie.

1000
00:44:56,059 --> 00:44:57,392
[Meow]

1001
00:44:57,460 --> 00:44:58,393
8 of them!

1002
00:44:58,461 --> 00:45:00,296
Your old dears!

1003
00:45:00,363 --> 00:45:02,631
Desperate to stay in their own homes!

1004
00:45:02,699 --> 00:45:04,766
Terrified of dying unnoticed,

1005
00:45:04,835 --> 00:45:06,101
out of sight, and out of mind

1006
00:45:06,169 --> 00:45:08,070
in the old folks' home!

1007
00:45:14,077 --> 00:45:16,745
But you were their friend.

1008
00:45:16,813 --> 00:45:18,848
Visited nearly every day,

1009
00:45:18,915 --> 00:45:20,582
protected them,

1010
00:45:20,650 --> 00:45:21,984
taught them what they must always know

1011
00:45:22,052 --> 00:45:23,485
to keep out of the funny farm.

1012
00:45:23,553 --> 00:45:25,054
"What day is it? Where do you live?

1013
00:45:25,121 --> 00:45:26,989
Who's the Queen of England?"

1014
00:45:27,057 --> 00:45:29,358
Excuse me.

1015
00:45:29,425 --> 00:45:31,593
And when waters flooded the floor...

1016
00:45:33,096 --> 00:45:36,531
and bottoms were burned out of pans

1017
00:45:36,599 --> 00:45:38,167
and coals set fire to carpets,

1018
00:45:38,235 --> 00:45:40,002
you were there to cover up,

1019
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:41,503
except that these things didn't happen

1020
00:45:41,571 --> 00:45:43,072
when you weren't there.

1021
00:45:43,139 --> 00:45:45,607
You're jumping to
conclusions, Mrs. Wainthropp.

1022
00:45:45,675 --> 00:45:46,608
I always have done.

1023
00:45:46,676 --> 00:45:48,610
It's the gray cells working overtime.

1024
00:45:48,678 --> 00:45:50,079
I'll jump on.

1025
00:45:51,581 --> 00:45:53,682
You took money from your old dears,

1026
00:45:53,750 --> 00:45:55,851
Miss Horner.

1027
00:45:55,919 --> 00:45:56,919
Easy to do.

1028
00:45:56,987 --> 00:45:58,954
Everyone knew you collected for charity.

1029
00:45:59,022 --> 00:46:00,022
You didn't take much.

1030
00:46:00,090 --> 00:46:01,023
They couldn't afford much,

1031
00:46:01,091 --> 00:46:02,391
but it all added up,

1032
00:46:02,458 --> 00:46:04,293
and more from Uncle Albert

1033
00:46:04,361 --> 00:46:06,061
because of his pension.

1034
00:46:06,129 --> 00:46:08,063
Then you
went too far--

1035
00:46:08,131 --> 00:46:11,466
his gold medal.

1036
00:46:11,534 --> 00:46:13,735
He daren't accuse you in public.

1037
00:46:13,803 --> 00:46:14,904
Too dangerous, he thought,

1038
00:46:14,971 --> 00:46:16,471
they'll never believe him.

1039
00:46:16,539 --> 00:46:19,408
Lost his marbles. Away with him.

1040
00:46:19,475 --> 00:46:21,176
So he dressed up in his football gear

1041
00:46:21,244 --> 00:46:24,046
to remind people they
owed him some respect,

1042
00:46:24,114 --> 00:46:27,516
and he wrote a note,
and he hanged himself.

1043
00:46:27,583 --> 00:46:29,885
But you came along, as you always did,

1044
00:46:29,953 --> 00:46:32,354
took the note before
anyone else found him,

1045
00:46:32,422 --> 00:46:34,189
and then went on into Lottie.

1046
00:46:34,257 --> 00:46:35,324
I came here.

1047
00:46:36,626 --> 00:46:38,961
I came to pray.

1048
00:46:39,029 --> 00:46:40,429
Lottie found me here.

1049
00:46:40,496 --> 00:46:42,531
Admit it.

1050
00:46:45,501 --> 00:46:46,568
[Chuckle]

1051
00:46:48,038 --> 00:46:49,571
You prove it.

1052
00:46:54,911 --> 00:46:56,711
I don't have to prove it.

1053
00:46:58,481 --> 00:47:01,116
This is a small village.

1054
00:47:01,184 --> 00:47:02,851
There are no secrets.

1055
00:47:09,926 --> 00:47:11,360
[Door closes]

1056
00:47:11,428 --> 00:47:14,529
It's a Sopwith Camel.

1057
00:47:14,597 --> 00:47:17,266
HETTY: So what's it
doing in our spare room?

1058
00:47:17,334 --> 00:47:18,267
Why...

1059
00:47:18,335 --> 00:47:20,735
I thought it would interest Geoffrey.

1060
00:47:20,803 --> 00:47:21,837
It does.

1061
00:47:21,904 --> 00:47:23,538
I put it together for our Derek

1062
00:47:23,606 --> 00:47:25,474
when he won his swimming certificate.

1063
00:47:25,541 --> 00:47:27,009
You can do the breaststroke
for half a mile,

1064
00:47:27,077 --> 00:47:28,377
I take it.

1065
00:47:29,946 --> 00:47:31,847
She knows damn well what I'm trying to say

1066
00:47:31,914 --> 00:47:33,148
is that
you--

1067
00:47:33,216 --> 00:47:35,351
you're welcome to use this room

1068
00:47:35,418 --> 00:47:37,186
till you get back on your feet.

1069
00:47:39,155 --> 00:47:40,889
Thank you, Mr. Wainthropp.

1070
00:47:42,825 --> 00:47:44,126
When business improves,

1071
00:47:44,194 --> 00:47:46,261
we'll decide what's a fair rent.
