Somehow, all of this -

the war, the scallywags,
the free French, kerling -

they're the reason why
Anthony and ned were murdered.

I get the chance to show
shunned and forgotten souls

that they are loved, even
when they don't love themselves.

Bob monkhouse is one of my favourites.

But not yours?

My son is a cultural snob.

That's us.

Is that you riding the horse?
Yeah, I used to ride all the time.

'Anthony bowness wasn't
killed with a hunting knife.'

'he's covering for
someone.' 'His grandson.'

if I go to the police, they'll ask questions.

Your father died in the war.

But your mum is very much alive.

Registrar's ink.

'Now all we have to do is
find out who else uses it.'

'when I showed Neil, he
said it was a waste of time.'

'and what do you think?'

'that there's something
down there I've missed.'

No.

Sorry, ladies, nothing to see here.

Excuse me. Sorry. Thank you.

Stella?

I found her. Dead as a dodo.

But why are you here?

Because Stella was the
one writing the letters.

I worked it out using your water trick,

and then I called mrs
braines to confirm it.

She got Stella that registrar's ink, too.

So I came over here
to have a few words.

Too late. What, had she been murdered?

Not that I could see.

No gaping wounds, if
that's what you mean.

I did find out something, though.

Stella was also the one

who complained about you to the bishop.

I found a draft of her letter on the side.

She had quite the turn of phrase.

Didn't have you down as
one of the rubberneck brigade.

Well, given that Stella
was the one threatening me,

which my mother uncovered.
When no-one else did.

Yes, you've already mentioned that.

I'd say that makes me more
than a rubbernecker, wouldn't you?

We were wondering if
Stella is the latest victim.

Doesn't look like it.
Heart attack, apparently.

You should go home and
leave the police to do their job.

Heart attack? Codswallop.

Stella was fit as a fiddle.

That's what the police said it was.

Because that's what
they want us to believe.

So there's no panic.

Because, you know, the
murderer could be anywhere.

- Ladies?
- Hello.

Awful news about Stella. Yes.

Really shocking. So unexpected.

Exactly.

And this ID was on the body?

So I went back to ned
thwaite's file on kerling.

Somewhere in here is the
reason why ned was killed.

What's this? That, I do know.

That was how the observers
delivered their reports.

No, lost me. I found it in here.

It's the book Anthony was
writing about champ ton at war.

You see, in the early years of the war,

the home defence
scheme had two concerns.

One, the Germans would parachute in

small groups of soldiers to hit key targets

and pave the way for
an invasion, and two...

The ever-present
danger of German spies.

So a... a network of
observers was created,

made up of civilians
who could move around

without attracting attention.

From the village? That's right.

They were called the
special duties branch,

and they would make a
note of anything unusual.

I mean, imagine -

all over the country, webs of observers,

and at the centre, secret radio stations

transmitting their findings to hq.

Now, the observers
would conceal their reports

in a tennis ball and then leave it

at one of several secret
drop points in the area.

And when the threat of invasion receded,

the network kept going because...

The threat of spies never went away.

But they weren't much good, then,
if they missed kerling, were they?

But what if they didn't?

What if someone - an observer, say -

had rumbled kerling,

but instead of just filing a report,

they decided to do something about it?

What about Neil?

What about him?

You are gonna tell him
about the dead body?

Cos it's the sort of
thing he finds interesting.

When I'm ready. Daniel!

Well, the thing is, he was right, mother.

I need more than just what-ifs.

Now, he's made it perfectly clear

that if he's to take any of this seriously,

I need something or someone

that links whatever
happened 40 years ago

to what's going on now.

Right, you can go.

What?

You heard.

Well, what happened?

Finally decided I was telling the truth?

Alex de floures gave you an alibi.

Don't leave the area.

Are you ok? You told 'em?

Yes. What, everything?

Well... I had to.

They haven't charged you, have
they? Cos they haven't got anything.

It's over.

You haven't got a clue, have ya?

Let's get a forensic team

to look at this Shepherd's hut.

If those two were there,
they'll have left traces, evidence.

Are you still seeing that fella at the lab?

On and off.

See if you can call in a favour.

I want a tox report on Stella
Harper as soon as possible.

I thought it was natural causes.

Yeah, well, I'm not buying it.

Two murders and then
a sudden heart attack?

Doesn't really pass
the smell test, does it?

The bunker has to be the key.

Because the killer knew it was there.

But they knew about the radio room, too.

I'm missing something.

Anthony bowness was
thorough, I'll give him that.

He went all over,
interviewing all kinds of people.

Here's one with a retired school mistress

who was a radio operator.
She died last year.

Here's a bloke who hid
stuff in his chicken hut.

And an old doctor over
in badsaddles, also dead.

Now, he's awfully chatty

for someone who was sworn to secrecy.

He says, "there were lots
of us dotted about, all sorts."

"There was even one
boy over champ ton way"

"who went around delivering
his messages on his horse"

"because no-one would think twice"

"about some brat on
a horse, would they?"

Lord.

It's Bernard.

So, you could convert
the stables to the tea room,

and the gift shop could go there.

Pa? What sort of gifts?

What is it?

Jams, pickles, anything in a jar.

I need to tell you something,

and it's better you hear it from me.

Well, can't it wait? You can
see that I'm busy. Pickles?

Not really. Nathan was
released this morning.

So? And who's going
to be paying for all this?

They let him go because
I gave him an alibi.

I... I wasn't sure at first what
the best thing to do was...

but I talked to Daniel,
and... You talked to Daniel?

So, last night, I went to the police station.

I'm pretty sure I've done the right thing.

Forgive me, Alexander, for
not entirely understanding.

You're telling me you lied to the police?

No. It's the truth.

I was with him most of the night.

We were together.

Alone.

Canon clement is here to see you.

Right.

Pa, do you want to talk about it?

No, I don't think that'll be necessary.

Hey.

Come here.

Daniel.

What can I do for you?

During the war,

were you an observer for
the special duties branch?

I remembered the photo
of you and Anthony as kids,

and you were riding a horse.

Well, so did lots of people round here.

Yes, but in the picture,
you've got a tennis ball.

You hate tennis.

Aren't you the clever one?

I was recruited, 1943.

We were given a bunch
of things to memorise.

Vehicles, German insignia, stuff like that.

My job was to keep
my ears and eyes open

and, you know, report anything unusual.

And you didn't think
to mention any of this

to Anthony or anyone?

No, well, I was bound
by the official secrets act.

And for what it's worth, Daniel, I still am.

Did you know Philip
kerling? No, not really.

I mean, I knew him by
sight, I'd see him most days,

either up at the house or...

Over in the stables
where the officers were.

Anywhere else?

For god's sake, Daniel, come on.

It was over 40 years ago.
No, no, I don't remember.

This is a copy of the statement
that you made to police

after kerling disappeared in 1944.

Where did you get this? It
was in ned thwaite's research.

In it, you say that you saw
kerling the night of the plane crash,

that he was near the aircraft
several hours before it took off.

Well, if you say so.

Was that unusual?
What, that he was there?

I don't know, maybe.

Kerling was top brass, planning,

so, yes, he was normally tied to his desk.

Would you have included
it in your daily report?

I expect so, yes. I put in
anything that was slightly unusual,

let the others decide if
it was important or not.

I think we're done now
here, Daniel, don't you?

What do you think happened to kerling?

You know, Daniel,

perhaps you should concentrate
on things that concern you,

keep your nose out of
other people's business,

including my family.

What are you talking
about? Alexander told me.

He told me what he'd
done, and he told me...

He told me what he is and
that he talked to you about it.

Stay away.

You probably know I let
Nathan go this morning.

I heard. Which means...
I have no further leads.

Which means I'm as close today

to solving this case as I
was the night we met...

When you, rather
bizarrely, complimented me

on the pencil that I was using.

The pentel. P205.

Right, the pentel, yeah.

Actually, I was quite impressed.

I'll never underestimate the
ice-breaking power of stationery.

So, I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

I think the bunker and
the whole world war ii thing

is worth exploring.

That's great because...

So I've arranged for a forensic team

to come first thing tomorrow.
I wanna go over every inch.

Right.

It's a long shot.

But right now, it's the best I've got.

Where will you go?

I've got a cousin down in taunton.

Maybe I can get a job at his scrap yard.

You're being ridiculous. Am I?

Well, what about the police?
Yeah, gotta catch me first.

Please, Nathan, don't do this.

You can't go. I can't stay here, can I?

Well, what will I do?

You're stronger than you think.

I think I know how to link
kerling's body to the murders.

From the start, this has all been about

the murderer keeping the
bunker and kerling a secret.

And right now, they don't
know that I've found either,

which gives me an
advantage. In what way?

They think they're safe.

And as long as they think that...

I can flush them out. How?

By giving them a good
reason to move the body.

But it has to be tonight.

Why?

Well, I was gonna tell Neil everything,

and then he said he
was gonna turn the bunker

into a crime scene,
but when he does that,

the murderer will know
that it's been found,

and we'll lose whatever
advantage we've got.

So you're going to lure
the killer out into the open?

And it all starts with an
announcement at evensong.

Anthony bowness, ned
thwaite, and now Stella Harper,

friends who've been
taken from us so tragically.

This has been a difficult time for us all,

and I'm sure it's taken its toll.

So I look forward

to the champ ton at war
celebration tomorrow

and being reminded
of the importance of...

Friendship and community...

And the strength that comes from that.

Also, some good news,

our refurbishment
plans have been agreed,

which include the new toilet.

And work will begin tomorrow,

with the temporary removal of the font

to accommodate the plumbing.

It'll only be for a few days,

and I'm hoping it won't
have too big of an impact.

Bishop.

Didn't know you were coming.

That's because I didn't tell you.

I've thought a lot about
what you said yesterday.

And I must say, I was impressed.

Very erudite and passionate.

And we could always use passion...

Provided it's channel led
the right way, obviously.

Obviously.

So, I've decided...

not to pursue this matter any further.

Thank you.

You clearly wish to make a difference.

Well, I try.

Indeed, you do.

To that end, here are...

A dozen or so committees
that I think you should be on...

doing good work
across the whole diocese.

I see.

This is a wonderful opportunity.

It's also a greater responsibility.

It will necessitate
longer hours, of course,

less time for other... pursuits.

But if you want to make a difference...

Well, when you put it like that...

what choice do I have?

None.

'For a friend' by the communards.

Alexander. May I come in?

You don't have to worry, you know.

Nathan and me are finished.

So... you're ok.

There's no danger of
me embarrassing you.

No more than I do already.

Actually, I was wondering

if you still had that
painting you did of Anthony.

Er... yeah.

It's here somewhere. Right.

Yes, I... I thought I
might hang it in my study.

Right.

Well, er... It'll need to be varnished.

Yes, right... And that...
that's something you can do?

Of course.

Splendid.

Pa. I...

Right, then.

Have you seen my rennies? Indigestion?

Stress. I blame you.

To be honest, I never did like him much.

I'm sorry?

You've gotta watch ones like creggan.

"One may smile and
smile and be a villain."

Macbeth knew what
he was talking about.

Hamlet. Whatever.

I knew it was foreign royalty.

I should go soon.

Do you really think they'll come?

I'm counting on it.

Be careful, won't you?

I had a feeling it would be you.

Why don't we start at the beginning?

All alone, mademoiselle?

I'm with my sister.

She sings beautifully.

I'll tell her.

I'm herve. Herve gauchet.

Kath sharman.

'Herve was the most
handsome man I'd ever met.'

he was from the free French army.

He'd escaped France after
dunkirk and joined the soe.

After that,

he'd been in and out
of France several times,

helping the resistance.

Brave man.

'I was a member of the
special duties signals unit.

'Dora was, too.

'And the only other person
who knew was herve.'

I told him... The night
he showed me the mural.

He painted it for you, didn't he?

You're the woman
dancing with her back to us.

How did you know?

The abbaye notre-dame de senanque.

It's in the mural. And...

I remembered reading
a newspaper report

about the crash that...
Herve came from beaumettes.

It's a little village a few
miles away from the Abbey.

He painted the countryside that he loved,

and it's where he's buried.

We promised each other...

'..After the war...'

'..we'd live there. A new life.'

'i thought we were blessed.'

what's the old joke?

If you want to make god
laugh, tell him your plans.

A couple of months later,
we got word from France

that the Germans had
rounded up whole networks

of soe and resistance members.

They'd all been shot.

They'd been betrayed.

First, we didn't know who
the traitor was. But then...

Herve heard from someone in France

who said there was a
traitor high up in the soe

here at champ ton,

and the whole operation
was compromised.

Herve decided to fly
to France... to meet him.

'By then, I'd found out I was pregnant.

'I tried to tell herve before,

'but he'd been so busy,
there hadn't been a chance.

'I promised myself I'd surprise him...

'When he got back.'

God bring you home to me.

'In that one moment... 'My
future was taken from me.'

but you carry on.

There was a war to be won.

Which is how you found out

about kerling being seen near the plane.

Bernard de floures
was one of your runners,

did you know that?

No... I didn't.

He saw kerling that night,
and he put it in his report.

He didn't realise the significance, but...

you did, didn't you?

'I knew that kerling had somehow

'sabotaged the plane to protect himself.

'He was a traitor and a murderer,

'and I was going to prove it.'

'i waited until I knew he'd be working late

'and broke into the house
where he'd been billeted.'

'Only, he came back.'

you worked it out.

That you're a traitor.

Depends whose side
you're on, doesn't it?

'The phone rang, distracting him.

'I threw the desk lamp at him.'

no!

No... I got hold of the lamp...

and I hit him over the head.

'I killed him.'

I didn't know what to do.

And then you thought about this place.

It was about to be decommissioned.

The scallywags had
already been stood down,

the observer networks
were being wound up.

This place would soon be abandoned,

and no-one would ever know.

And the theory that kerling had fled?

It wasn't hard.

I added his name to the flight log

of a mission that flew
out the night he died.

But surely, they investigated
his disappearance?

I wanted them to.

Well, because then the
truth would come out.

'If I'd found his radio, I knew they would.'

which they did.

And everyone believed
the story of kerling the spy

because it was true.

All it took was a nudge to
get them to believe he'd fled.

Years went by... The
memories of war faded.

Eventually, it felt like
those few days in 1944

were just a dream.

Until Anthony bowness arrived.

He started digging around,

asking questions about the scallywags.

'He was convinced there was
a bunker in or near the church.

'I knew he was getting close...

'And that if he found this place...

'He'd find the body.'

and I'd be sent to prison.

'They'd trained us all those
years ago, one-to-one combat.'

But it didn't end there, did it?

Ned thwaite was
doing a piece on kerling.

The one that got away.

If only.

Did he ask you about
this? It was in his file.

It's the flight log that says
that kerling flew to France

when he was actually here, dead.

His name was typed on
a different machine, see?

The I's wonky.

Don't miss a thing, do you?

Well...

neither did ned.

'It was bad enough

'he'd managed to find
the actual flight log.

'But then he noticed
that it had been doctored.

'He was a good journalist.'

I was afraid it would
only be a matter of time.

So, later...

I phoned, told him I'd
found something interesting.

I arranged to meet him.

You're very calm, considering...

I don't think you'll kill me.

Why not?

Because I've left detailed notes

which will send any
investigation directly to you.

You know I have to
turn you in, don't you?

Dora saved my life.

After herve, I just...

Couldn't see the point... Of anything.

When she was first
diagnosed with cancer,

I knew it was my turn, my
chance to balance the books.

I knew if Anthony was successful,

the end of dora's life would be ruined

by my arrest and trial.

Just when she needed me
the most, I'd be behind bars.

I couldn't let that happen, could I?

I'll do everything you want,
I'll make a full confession.

But first... let me see dora.

Kath... I can't do that.

Please, it's all I ask.

A few minutes to say goodbye.

'The victory roll' by pat kirkwood.

- All right, Kath?
- Morning.

Got the weather, didn't we?

'I'm herve. Enchantee.'

Come on, Kath.

Daniel?

'Ds vanloo? Audrey clement.'

listen, there's something
you ought to know.

Kath! Hi.

Almost like the real thing.

Hello.

Aw.

Can I?

Of course. Come on.

Aw.

Look at you.

Ooh! Aw.

Kath?

Bye-bye, little one.

Come on, then.

Jesus.

- Corinne...
- Just a minute.

Now! Ok. Thank you, thank you.

He knows everything.

That was the lab!

You were right, Stella
Harper was poisoned.

They found traces of oleander.

It's a shrub. Easily grown, apparently.

Don't tell me, it was in the cake.

No, the tea.

So, you knew, then?

Only last night.

I told her what had happened,

that I was going to move kerling's body.

I see.

Otherwise, she's completely innocent.

There is one thing I'm confused about.

Well, you told me that
you hit kerling over the head

with the desk lamp.

He... he was going to shoot me.

Only, you also said
that you threw it at him

when you started the fight.

How did you manage
to get hold of it again

to kill him with it?

It was you, wasn't it?

Kath told me she was
going to kerling's that night.

I was worried, so I followed her.

'Two murders.'

and all to protect dora, not you.

Three. What?

Three murders.

Stella, too?

It wasn't her fault.

'Edgy threatened her.'

the night ned was
killed, well, she rang us...

And dora went round to
make sure she was all right.

She was planning to
go to the police first thing

and tell them about it, only...

I'd already told the police

that we were both home that night.

Stella didn't realise it, but...

If she went to the
police... She'd ruin my alibi.

I did it for you.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Drink your tea... Before it gets cold.

We'll try the church first.

If they're not there, then the sharmans'.

It was always us against
the world, wasn't it?

Yes, it was.

It's better this way.

What have you done?

One of you two stay at the gates!

Yes, sir!

Don't worry.

I made yours separately.

There's nothing you can do.

I'm glad you're here.

You're wasting your time.

It'll be over before anyone can get here.

'Hello, emergency. Which
service do you require?'

I can't feel my legs.

It won't take long now.

Pray for us, Daniel, will you?

Pray for our sins... And our forgiveness.

I see.

Then stay with us, will you?

Can you at least do that?

The bunker's empty. Come on.

Down there!

Listen.

Into your hands, o merciful saviour,

we commend your
servants, Kath... And dora.

Enfold them in the arms of your mercy.

Peas in a pod.

Peas in a pod.

Police! Open up!

They're in there.

Go on.

Daniel...

why didn't you tell me it was Kath?

Would you have believed me if I had?

I heard what happened.

You know... Kath asked
me to pray for her at the end.

But for a while, I...

After Anthony was killed, I...

stood up in front of everyone

and talked about mercy for the killer.

Even told Neil I didn't
believe in retribution.

I even lectured the
bishop about god's love

and how it was for everyone,
without judgment or blame.

But when it came to it... I
didn't want to be merciful.

I just wanted to punish her...

The only way that I could.

But you didn't, did you?

No.

But there was a moment...
Judgment and blame

was all... I wanted for her.

What does that say about me?

Come on.

You know, sometimes, I wonder

if it'd be better if the
past stayed in the past.

I'm not sure that's
possible or even desirable.

Sometimes, facing up to
the past is a good thing.

Even if it means pain and mess?

Yeah, even then.

Don't tell me, it's how we grow?

Something like that.

Growing old is compulsory,
growing up is optional.

What? You're not the only one

who can find an apposite
quote when they need it.

No, I... I like it.

Oscar wilde?

Bob monkhouse.
