00:30:49is that where victor fell did you see him go over i was walking away when i looked back he was gone

00:31:00don't like to think about it i still feel guilty why i was responsible for it either you pushed

00:31:11him over the cliff or you didn't if you didn't guilt is just an indulgence if you did it's

00:31:15dangerous it's how murderers give themselves away you talk to anyone about it father michael

00:31:26is that what you were arguing about when you pushed him it was about something else what i don't

00:31:35remember you can lose your temper with a priest i can understand our whole world could make you

00:31:39it wasn't like that was victor tormenting you did he know something about you why would you think

00:31:43temptation must have been strong cliff edge right there one sharp push

00:31:47look must be the tower

00:31:53will freeze my pen now

00:32:22You could have died.

00:32:50You should call the police.

00:33:04Well, let's see.

00:33:06Julius Marsh, public school, Cambridge, civil service, minor diplomat, left when he inherited some family money.

00:33:13I'll give you the number of a contact in the Foreign Office, might give you more detail.

00:33:17There's no phone at Hope Cottage, sir.

00:33:20Thanks, sir. I checked out his alibi. It was watertight. He was at his club in London when Victor died.

00:33:26Residents?

00:33:27There's nothing. They all have alibis, even before you consider the practicalities.

00:33:33So if you like Marsh and the residents, that leaves us with staff?

00:33:38They're a proper mixed bag.

00:33:40Helen Rayner worked for the Ridgewell Trust, private care business. They're hoping to take over Toynton Grange.

00:33:46Her uncle's on the board, and Dr. Hewson had his license suspended for a while after, an affair with a young patient.

00:33:52He ended up marrying her.

00:33:54Maggie?

00:33:55Mm-hmm.

00:33:56And what's Dennis Lerner's story?

00:33:59Oh, no police record. Good worker. Mild-mannered. But his mum lives in a fancy private nursing home.

00:34:07Meadowlands. It's expensive. And Dennis pays for it.

00:34:11Does Anstey pay him that well?

00:34:13No, sir. Also, Meadowlands offered him a job. More money. Near his mum. And Dennis turned it down.

00:34:21So what's keeping him at Toynton Grange? Loyalty to Anstey? Or is he skimming money on the side somehow?

00:34:27If he is, maybe Victor found out.

00:34:30Which would give him a motive.

00:34:35Snap Dragon.

00:34:38Yes. Father Michael gave it to me.

00:34:42It's my reminder of him.

00:34:45I found this in the cottage. Bookplate says it's yours.

00:34:51I lent it to him. I'd forgotten. Thank you so much.

00:34:59Hardy's a favourite of mine, from school.

00:35:03An aged thrush, frail gaunt and small, in blast-beruffled plume.

00:35:11The darkling thrush.

00:35:13How is your own writing going?

00:35:15Father Michael told me about his friend, the famous poet.

00:35:20He was so proud.

00:35:23Haven't been able to write anything lately?

00:35:26Of course.

00:35:27Of course.

00:35:28He told me about your wife and baby, too.

00:35:31I'm so sorry.

00:35:35I wish you'd been able to see him again.

00:35:41Would have meant so much.

00:35:44I actually went through the chateau of this place.

00:35:59Of course, it's the region.

00:36:00It's quite the collection, isn't it?

00:36:09I'm just a magpie, really.

00:36:12Anything that catches my eye.

00:36:14That is why I hate you, Julius.

00:36:16Why is that, darling?

00:36:17You've travelled.

00:36:18You have beautiful things.

00:36:20Taste.

00:36:21Money.

00:36:22Marquis.

00:36:23It's fine.

00:36:24I think there was a compliment in there somewhere.

00:36:26I suppose those are all the benefits of the diplomatic service.

00:36:31You were a diplomat?

00:36:33Junior attaché, very briefly.

00:36:36I had dreams of an exotic posting.

00:36:39I was excited.

00:36:40I thought it would be the embassy in Paris.

00:36:43Turned out to be the consulate in Marseille.

00:36:46It doesn't sound that bad.

00:36:49Well, Paris has writers, artists, musicians.

00:36:52Marseille has sailors, gangsters, and drunk swimmers.

00:36:57I realised it wasn't for me.

00:36:58I wasn't selfless enough to make a career of it.

00:37:02Now, shall we eat?

00:37:06Nice to meet you with that John Don in the background.

00:37:12You know Wilfred means well.

00:37:15Does he?

00:37:16I mean, there's a difference between believing in God

00:37:18and believing you are God.

00:37:20We should be grateful for the chance he's given us.

00:37:22The chance to be marooned in the middle of nowhere with a bunch.

00:37:24That's enough.

00:37:28It's even worse now that Victor's gone.

00:37:30Not for some of us.

00:37:32Poor man.

00:37:34How can you say that?

00:37:35What about that letter I got?

00:37:40What letter?

00:37:41Poison pan drivel.

00:37:42Cruel.

00:37:43Mononomous.

00:37:44Disgusting.

00:37:45It was his sense of humour.

00:37:46He liked to play games.

00:37:47Like trying to frame Dennis for murder.

00:37:49Oh, come on.

00:37:50Everyone knows Dennis doesn't have the guts to kill a chicken,

00:37:53let alone a human being.

00:37:54Human being?

00:37:55Peter.

00:37:56Peter.

00:37:57Henry.

00:37:58You don't mean that.

00:38:07This party needs some music.

00:38:08Don't you want somebody to love?

00:38:09Don't you need somebody to love?

00:38:10Don't you need somebody to love?

00:38:11I don't understand how the Grange survives.

00:38:12It can't be profitable.

00:38:13It isn't.

00:38:14It's deep and dead.

00:38:15I've been speaking to the Ridgewell Trust about a deal that would give them control but preserve Wilfred's ideas.

00:38:30The trouble is, I don't know if he's ready to let go.

00:38:34So, who's gonna dance with me?

00:38:38Maggie.

00:38:39Maggie.

00:38:40I'm not sure that's...

00:38:42Oh, for God's sake.

00:38:43My fault.

00:38:44No harm done.

00:38:46It's late, anyway.

00:38:48We should go.

00:38:50No scenes.

00:38:51If I decide to make a scene, the whole world is gonna know about it.

00:38:55Not tonight.

00:38:57Please.

00:39:01Come on.

00:39:04Don't you want somebody to love?

00:39:05Don't you want somebody to love?

00:39:07Don't you want somebody to love?

00:39:10Don't you want somebody to love?

00:39:11Don't you want somebody to love?

00:39:14You better find somebody to love?

00:39:17Bravo to space.

00:39:18Then hop for a seat for a few hours sleep.

00:39:21Over and out.

00:39:22Nice radio technique.

00:39:23I've washed a lot of Zedgars.

00:39:26I'm gonna need a little help.

00:39:42Don't you want somebody to love?

00:39:43No.

00:39:44No.

00:39:45No.

00:39:46No.

00:39:47No.

00:39:48It's okay.

00:39:49No.

00:39:50No.

00:39:51No.

00:39:52No.

00:39:53No.

00:39:54No.

00:39:55No.

00:39:57No.

00:39:58No.

00:39:59No.

00:40:00No.

00:40:01No.

00:40:02No.

00:40:03No.

00:40:04No.

00:40:05No.

00:40:06No.

00:40:07No.

00:40:09Over there, in the dresser, there's a box.

00:40:29You are a sick and depraved monster.

00:40:33You should be castrated.

00:40:36You will burn in hell.

00:40:38There's a photograph, too.

00:40:42That's Peter.

00:40:45He arrived last year.

00:40:48He was smart and funny and kind.

00:40:58We became close.

00:41:03Very close.

00:41:08We tried to be discreet, but we disposted it.

00:41:14He took great delight in informing Wilfred.

00:41:18They sent him to a different home hundreds of miles away.

00:41:21I finally found out that he died of pneumonia.

00:41:31I'm sorry.

00:41:33That's awful.

00:41:34Yes, but normal for people like us, because we just don't matter.

00:41:46You know, you should think about making an effort with the chief inspector.

00:41:59It's very sweet.

00:42:01I don't want to end up a spinster.

00:42:04Hey.

00:42:05Night.

00:42:06Good night.

00:42:15Oh, shit.

00:42:25Good night.

00:42:29Let's go.

00:42:59Let's go.

00:43:29Let's go.

00:43:59Did you forget something?

00:44:04Let's go.

00:44:34Let's go.

00:44:35Let's go.

00:44:36Let's go.

00:44:59Let's go.

00:45:00Let's go.

00:45:01Let's go.

00:45:02Let's go.

00:45:03Let's go.

00:45:04Let's go.

00:45:05Let's go.

00:45:06Let's go.

00:45:08Let's go.

00:45:09Let's go.

00:45:10Let's go.

00:45:11Let's go.

00:45:12Let's go.

00:45:13Let's go.

00:45:14Let's go.

00:45:15Let's go.

00:45:16Shut up.

00:45:17Will you?

00:45:18Don't you speak to me like that.

00:45:19Maggie, go and wake the dining room.

00:45:29Who found her?

00:45:30I did.

00:45:31Did you touch anything?

00:45:32I checked for a pulse.

00:45:34Is that all right with you?

00:45:35There's no need to complicate things.

00:45:37We leave for Lourdes a day after tomorrow.

00:45:39That's not Eric's problem.

00:45:41It could make things a little easier.

00:45:42I'm not here to make things easier.

00:45:45Then what am I paying you for?

00:45:47There are rules.

00:45:48Laws.

00:45:49If it's a matter of law,

00:45:51shouldn't we defer to the expert?

00:45:55Do you know the cause of death?

00:45:57Well, obviously she had a serious progressive condition.

00:46:01But I don't know why it should have happened so suddenly.

00:46:04There may be a secondary factor that I've missed.

00:46:08Then the law says you notify the coroner,

00:46:10arrange a post-mortem.

00:46:12Well, if the law says...

00:46:17I'd better go and tell the others.

00:46:22I'll, er, make that call.

00:46:27Inspector.

00:46:28Mr.

00:47:19I'm sorry to report that Grace passed away last night.

00:47:29Aside from the personal loss, I know we all feel this sad news also forces a moment of decision on us.

00:47:37I've decided it's time to invite the Ridgewell Trust to take over the running of Toynton Grange.

00:47:42The decision we have to make together now, as a family, is how we do this.

00:47:50How much of what we have do we want to keep hold of? What might we have to lose?

00:47:56What do you mean, what would we lose?

00:47:59There have been difficult choices to make, but every decision, however painful, has been made out of love.

00:48:08And if the discipline at times seems hard, remember we are a family, and every loving family is built on small sacrifices.

00:48:16What did the Ridgewell Trust have to do with it?

00:48:19The Trust have invited me to remain at the Grange as spiritual advisor.

00:48:24If I stayed, I'd be in a position to protect what we have here, what we've built together.

00:48:30If you stay, does that mean that you might not?

00:48:33My role here has always been based on my faith, my faith, my mission, and your faith in me.

00:48:41This transition is a chance to renew that contract.

00:48:45So there will be a vote.

00:48:47This afternoon at five, with an hour's reflection before, everyone in the family will have a voice.

00:48:54If the majority reaffirm their belief in me, then I will stay and build on what we've achieved.

00:49:01And if they don't?

00:49:04Well, that would be a sign that I should continue my ministry elsewhere.

00:49:17And by family, of course, I mean staff and residents.

00:49:23And what am I?

00:49:25Neither.

00:49:29I live here too.

00:49:31I live here too.

00:50:01What?

00:50:02But I'm excluded.

00:50:03He says I'm not staff or resident.

00:50:05Yeah, well, that's true.

00:50:06I live here.

00:50:07Yeah, but it's up to him, really.

00:50:09God, is that all you can say?

00:50:10What do you want me to say?

00:50:11I'm your wife!

00:50:12I want you to support me!

00:50:13What do you think he's been doing?

00:50:15I know exactly what he's been doing.

00:50:18What you've both been doing.

00:50:19Do you think I'm blind?

00:50:21You think you win just because he's sleeping with you?

00:50:23What do you think he is ever going to leave me for you?

00:50:26Why wouldn't he?

00:50:27Because he is a spineless coward.

00:50:30That is enough.

00:50:30I should know.

00:50:32Because that's how he ended up marrying me.

00:50:34Maggie!

00:50:36You and that super silliest bitch!

00:50:38You think you control me with your bullying and your sleeping pills, but I am not a child anymore!

00:50:43I am not the silly schoolgirl you used to screw in your office!

00:50:46God!

00:50:47I keep quiet for you, but I could destroy you.

00:50:51In fact, I could destroy this whole rotten place!

00:50:57Ah!

00:50:58Ah!

00:50:59Ah!

00:51:00Ah!

00:51:01Ah!

00:51:02Ah!

00:51:03Ah!

00:51:04Ah!

00:51:05Ah!

00:51:06Ah!

00:51:07Ah!

00:51:08Ah!

00:51:09Ah!

00:51:10Ah!

00:51:11Ah!

00:51:12Ah!

00:51:13Ah!

00:51:14Ah!

00:51:15Ah!

00:51:16Ah!

00:51:17Ah!

00:51:24My room's next to Grace.

00:51:26Her bed's just through the wall.

00:51:28She used to keep me awake with her snoring.

00:51:30Then last night I realized it had stopped.

00:51:32And I remember feeling grateful.

00:51:35Seems she died quietly in her sleep.

00:51:38Like Father Michael?

00:51:40Yes, just like Father Michael.

00:51:47She was in asolid garden with me.

00:51:48She's so tired in her sleep.

00:51:51I like I'm gonna go see, but I feel like I had to go see her.

00:52:01Bye.

00:52:03I feel like I was coming back to A Tom and a husband.

00:52:05Trust me.

00:52:06I feel like I'm sitting good.

00:52:07I feel like I am so tired of sitting down.

00:52:09You're feeling like you're feeling like I'm feeling a little bit.

00:52:10you seriously want me to commit resources on the basis of a crushed flower if the book fell to the

00:52:24floor then someone else had to have put it back on the bedside table well what about the people

00:52:28who found her they didn't touch anything look if the postmortem suggests anything other than

00:58:57Eric!

00:58:58Eric!

00:58:59Eric!

00:59:00Eric!

00:59:01You did leave a note.

00:59:02Can't do this anymore.

00:59:05You can go on without me.

00:59:07Enough to suggest intent.

00:59:11That's my pen.

00:59:15Are you sure?

00:59:17It's a gift from my wife.

00:59:22Maggie must have taken it.

00:59:24Maybe she wanted a keepsake.

00:59:28She just turned up at my door, very upset,

00:59:33raging about Eric and Helen.

00:59:36You heard the shouting this morning.

00:59:38What did you do?

00:59:42Told her everything was going to be up.

00:59:51Sorry.

00:59:54She was such a spark of light and life here.

00:59:57So...

01:00:00out of place.

01:00:04A little girl, really.

01:00:09Any death is a tragedy.

01:00:13But I can't say I'm surprised.

01:00:16Maggie was always volatile.

01:00:19So how did you think she'd react when you blocked her from voting?

01:00:23I knew she'd be angry.

01:00:24She really had no right to be.

01:00:28This was her home.

01:00:30Maggie had a choice.

01:00:33She chose not to be part of our project here.

01:00:37Why should she expect to have a say in its future?

01:00:39Nothing to do with the fact that she'd vote against you.

01:00:42It was five to one in my favour.

01:00:46It wouldn't have made any difference.

01:00:47You didn't know that this morning.

01:00:49Like I didn't know she was going to go and hang herself.

01:00:53Who were you before the vote?

01:00:54Before the vote.

01:00:57I was in my room between four and five, meditating.

01:01:00Did anyone see you?

01:01:02No.

01:01:04I was alone.

01:01:06That's the point of meditating.

01:01:13She seemed calm when I left.

01:01:16I wanted to come up to the Grange before the vote.

01:01:20I wouldn't have left her if I thought...

01:01:23What time was this?

01:01:27I was quarter to four, I think.

01:01:29Did anyone else from the Grange know she was at yours?

01:01:32Everyone, probably.

01:01:34I told Wilfred, Dennis and Henry when I saw them.

01:01:38And I had to tell Eric.

01:01:40Eric was with me.

01:01:42We were together all afternoon.

01:01:44From when?

01:01:45From lunchtime until the vote.

01:01:47You were late for the vote?

01:01:48We went for a walk.

01:01:50Eric was still upset from the scene this morning.

01:01:52I thought some fresh air might clear his head.

01:01:54We lost track of time.

01:01:55Were you near Julius's cottage?

01:01:57No.

01:01:58I don't think so. Why?

01:02:00You might have been the last to see Maggie before she died.

01:02:04Like you were the last to see Grace.

01:02:07And should have been the last to see Father Michael.

01:02:10What are you suggesting?

01:02:12Just noting your proximity to a number of sudden deaths.

01:02:14I'm a nurse.

01:02:17And how does sleeping with Dr. Hewson square with your professional ethics?

01:02:23Is your wife suffering from depression?

01:02:27No.

01:02:30Has she taken any kind of medication?

01:02:32No.

01:02:34What about sleeping pills?

01:02:35She sometimes had trouble switching off at night.

01:02:45Why?

01:02:47Was she worrying about something?

01:02:49My relationship with Eric is none of your business.

01:02:52I think someone who's been hiding an affair might have other things to hide.

01:02:55What other things?

01:02:56Their connections to the Ridgewell Trust, maybe.

01:03:01What was the plan?

01:03:03Drive Anstey out, then you and Hewson round the place?

01:03:07Maggie felt threatened by Helen.

01:03:10She misinterpreted things.

01:03:11So you weren't sleeping with her?

01:03:13Look, the thing with Helen...

01:03:15It was...

01:03:17It was a mistake.

01:03:21Julius Marsh told you that Maggie was at his cottage?

01:03:26Yeah, he came in looking for Wilfred.

01:03:29But you never left the workshop?

01:03:31Not until five.

01:03:33For the vote.

01:03:40Do you vote for Wilfred to stay?

01:03:42Of course.

01:03:45Why?

01:03:47Don't want to lose my job, do I?

01:03:49And find another?

01:03:51Maybe that position they offered you at Medellins.

01:03:55Medellins pays better.

01:03:57And your mum's a resident there.

01:04:00You must really like this place.

01:04:02So?

01:04:04Not a crime, is it?

01:04:06That depends.

01:04:07On what?

01:04:10On how you can afford to keep your mum in a place like that.

01:04:15She gets her pension.

01:04:17And with some savings.

01:04:20Still, it must be hard to make ends meet.

01:04:27Can I manage?

01:04:30Maggie must have felt so lost after Victor.

01:04:33They seem to sustain each other, somehow.

01:04:38How close were they?

01:04:40Thick as thieves.

01:04:42Shut everyone else out.

01:04:44She even went up to town with him when he had a hospital appointment.

01:04:48I think Maggie's mistake was just falling in love with the wrong man.

01:04:52But you never know, do you?

01:04:55Not until it comes to the crunch and they let you down.

01:04:58But by then it's too late.

01:05:00Did she ever talk about it?

01:05:03The affairs seemed common knowledge.

01:05:05We never talk about anything here.

01:05:07We all saw what she was going through.

01:05:10But no one ever stepped in to help.

01:05:13I loved her.

01:05:15I did.

01:05:17In my own way.

01:05:19Imagine having it off while your wife's hanging herself.

01:05:23Eric Hewton's gonna burn in hell, for sure.

01:05:26Do you know anything about a spate of poison pen letters at the Grange?

01:05:27I don't know what you're talking about.

01:05:28I think you do.

01:05:29I just said...

01:05:30I think you wrote those letters.

01:05:31You think?

01:05:32I think you wrote those letters.

01:05:33You think?

01:05:34I can prove it.

01:05:36How?

01:05:37I can do a saliva test where you lick the flaps on the envelope.

01:05:40You know anything about a spate of poison pen letters at the Grange?

01:05:49I don't know what you're talking about.

01:05:51I think you do.

01:05:52I just said...

01:05:53I think you wrote those letters.

01:05:54You think?

01:05:55I can prove it.

01:05:57How?

01:05:58I could do a saliva test where you licked the flaps on the envelopes.

01:06:02There were no envelopes.

01:06:03No, but how would you know that?

01:06:05What now?

01:06:10Are you going to arrest me?

01:06:12That would be the point.

01:06:14You don't know what it's like.

01:06:15I'm not interested in your justifications.

01:06:17You hurt people for your own amusement.

01:06:19You need to apologise to them face to face.

01:06:22How did you know about Jenny?

01:06:35I didn't.

01:06:36But she said Hewson would burn in hell.

01:06:39Same phrase was in both the letters I've seen.

01:06:41I thought I'd test her.

01:06:42See if she'd let anything slip.

01:06:44I'm tired, Sergeant.

01:06:46I've no time for neurotic narcissists.

01:06:48See you tomorrow, Grace's post-mortem.

01:06:50Good night, sir.

01:07:02This is ridiculous.

01:07:04Grace Willison was 83 years old.

01:07:07I don't appreciate being hurried.

01:07:09They expedited the PM and now you can't even wait for my report.

01:07:13It's important.

01:07:14You think she was murdered?

01:07:16Was she?

01:07:17There's no evidence of it here.

01:07:19Well, there you go.

01:07:23So what killed her?

01:07:25Take your pick.

01:07:26The advanced disseminated cirrhosis, the heart condition, or the undiagnosed neoplasm in the upper stomach.

01:07:33Neoplasm?

01:07:34Tumour.

01:07:35Cancer.

01:07:36Her doctor missed it.

01:07:37Easily done when the patient's already as ill as she was.

01:07:39Nothing else.

01:07:40What more do you want?

01:07:42The mystery isn't how she died, but how she managed to live as long as she did.

01:07:48You still want me to stop their Lord's trip?

01:07:58Lock the place down?

01:08:00No.

01:08:01No.

01:08:02No.

01:08:03No.

01:08:04No.

01:08:05No.

01:08:06No.

01:08:07No.

01:08:08No.

01:08:09No.

01:08:10No.

01:08:11No.

01:08:12No.

01:08:13No.

01:08:14No.

01:08:15No.

01:08:16No.

01:08:17No.

01:08:18No.

01:08:19No.

01:08:20No.

01:08:21No.

01:08:22No.

01:08:23No.

01:08:24No.

01:08:25No.

01:08:26No.

01:08:27No.

01:08:28No.

01:08:29No.

01:08:30No.

01:08:31No.

01:08:32No.

01:08:33No.

01:08:34No.

01:08:35No.

01:08:36No.

01:08:37No.

01:08:38No.

01:08:39No.

01:08:40No.

01:08:41No.

01:08:42No.

01:08:43No.

01:08:44No.

01:08:45No.

01:08:46Back to London.

01:08:48Tomorrow. There's something I need to do first.

01:09:16It's moving in.

01:09:18chain 3.

01:09:20It's moving in.

01:09:22It's moving.

01:09:24It's moving.

01:09:27If I don't know what to do.

01:09:33It's moving in.

01:09:37As we remember those who've gone

01:09:51Remember too that God's love

01:09:56Burns in us

01:10:01And so when our flame fades in this world

01:10:04We will shine brightly in the beyond

01:10:34I'm going to miss Maggie

01:10:54She had a bit of life about her

01:10:56Do you ever think about doing what she did?

01:11:00Suicide

01:11:02No

01:11:05I refuse to

01:11:08I was the same

01:11:10But now

01:11:12Sometimes I catch myself

01:11:15Maybe it's just this place

01:11:19You won't be here forever

01:11:20Once your husband finds the fire

01:11:23It doesn't take this long

01:11:25Not if he was really looking

01:11:28I know he's not coming for me

01:11:31Things will change

01:11:33Wilfred said they're thinking of burning a sun lander out on the cliff

01:11:37There you go

01:11:39A reason to go on living

01:11:41And the trust will bring more residents in I suppose

01:11:45But we three should stick together

01:11:49No, we could tell some new faces

01:11:51But we three are the originals

01:11:55We're the survivors

01:11:57We're family

01:12:00I wanted to say goodbye

01:12:25I've had enough of this place

01:12:27I'm leaving for good

01:12:29You should know

01:12:31It was me who set the fire in the Black Tower

01:12:33But it was only meant to scare Wilfred

01:12:35He's a bully

01:12:37And a fraud

01:12:39The doctor at St Saviour's told Victor that he'd examined Wilfred

01:12:43And found nothing wrong with him

01:12:44It was all in his head

01:12:47But he needed people to believe in his miracle

01:12:49I love Eric

01:12:52But he's weak

01:12:54And under the spell of Helen Rayner

01:12:56If I stay

01:12:58I think they'll destroy me

01:13:01So this is my escape

01:13:08I'll see you around

01:13:10Maggie

01:13:11It must be here somewhere

01:13:29Grace was so organised

01:13:30She kept it in the drawer

01:13:31But it's not there

01:13:32We're supposed to do a mail out in two weeks

01:13:34How can we do that

01:13:35If we've lost the names and addresses

01:13:37Someone must know where it is

01:13:39Chief Inspector

01:13:49I thought we'd seen the last of you

01:13:51Excuse me, I have a lot to do

01:13:53Come to finally say goodbye?

01:13:58I actually wanted a word with you

01:14:00About what?

01:14:02Your illness

01:14:03The doctors at St Saviour's couldn't find anything wrong with you

01:14:06I could barely walk

01:14:08They decided it was psychological

01:14:09They don't know what they're talking about

01:14:12So any cure that happened was

01:14:13What?

01:14:15A delusion?

01:14:17Or just a lie?

01:14:18Miracles are a matter of faith

01:14:20Not medicine

01:14:22You can believe it or not

01:14:24What would happen if the truth came out?

01:14:27Do you think the Ridgewell Trust

01:14:28Would want you as their spiritual advisor?

01:14:30Are you threatening me?

01:14:31No

01:14:32But maybe someone else did

01:14:34What are you talking about?

01:14:37Victor found out at his last hospital appointment

01:14:39He told Maggie

01:14:41Must have been why he was so excited

01:14:43Because he had something to use against you

01:14:45Use against me?

01:14:48You mean blackmail?

01:14:50It never happened

01:14:51And even if it did

01:14:52Shouldn't you be accusing Victor?

01:14:56But he's dead

01:14:57You think I killed Victor?

01:15:00Or persuaded Dennis to do it for you

01:15:02That's ridiculous

01:15:03If you did it

01:15:06There will be evidence

01:15:07And I will find it

01:15:09I promise

01:15:09If you had any evidence

01:15:12You'd be arresting me

01:15:13What you have

01:15:14Is gossip

01:15:15You got all this from Maggie, didn't you?

01:15:18Is that your source?

01:15:19A spiteful girl

01:15:21With a grudge

01:15:21Who was so unstable

01:15:23She finally took her own life

01:15:25If it was suicide

01:15:26What?

01:15:28You think I murdered her too?

01:15:33What about Michael and Grace?

01:15:34You were suspicious of them

01:15:35You think they were blackmailing me?

01:15:37I mean, Grace

01:15:38Seriously?

01:15:43Why would anyone kill Grace?

01:15:50I pity you, Chief Inspector

01:15:52You see evil where there is none

01:15:59That's a cold world to live in

01:16:01Maybe you need your own miracle

01:16:03I'll pray for you

01:16:05When we get to Lourdes

01:16:06Leskin

01:16:15Sir?

01:16:17Message here for you

01:16:18From the Foreign Office

01:16:21This got something to do with Al Gleish?

01:16:26Yes, sir

01:16:26Tell them we're done with

01:16:31Then wasting our time

01:16:32Then get on with some real work

01:16:36Thank you

01:16:37Thank you

01:17:06Yes, thank you so much for getting back to me

01:17:33Sorry to turn off

01:17:34So were you able to find anything interesting?

01:17:38No, no, of course

01:17:38A known associate of who, exactly?

01:17:44And what are they involved in?

01:17:47Wait, no, you mean

01:17:48Come on

01:18:02Come on

01:18:06Hello

01:18:13Hello

01:18:14Who's this?

01:18:16This is P.S. Miskin

01:18:17I'm trying to get a hold of DCI Dal Gleish

01:18:18Is he there?

01:18:20Afraid not

01:18:20The place is empty

01:18:21They've all left for Lourdes

01:18:23It's only me here to lock up

01:18:24Who's speaking, please?

01:18:26Julius Marsh

01:18:27Any message?

01:18:31I could pass it on if I see him

01:18:32No

01:18:33No message

01:18:34Just

01:18:35Tell him I called

01:18:36I will

01:18:37Bye

01:18:38Miskin?

01:18:47Miskin!

01:18:57Chief Inspector

01:19:12I saw the car and wondered where you got to

01:19:14I heard a phone ring

01:19:16I expect we'll ring back if it's important

01:19:18What are you doing here?

01:19:20Locking up

01:19:21I keep an eye on the place while they're away

01:19:23You?

01:19:25Saying my farewells, I suppose

01:19:28And trying to make sense of some things

01:19:32Such as?

01:19:37Why would anyone kill Grace?

01:19:40The only thing she knew about was the newsletter and the mailing list

01:19:43Which she knew by heart

01:19:46Does that matter?

01:19:49I suppose it depends who's on the list

01:19:50Who does all the packing?

01:20:06Mostly Dennis, I think

01:20:07And they mail out twice a year

01:20:08A week after the Lourdes trips

01:20:13Both times

01:20:14Why not space them out?

01:20:18Wilfred isn't great at logistics

01:20:19The Lourdes trips and the mail outs

01:20:24Two things he wants to protect

01:20:28They're part of his legacy, I suppose

01:20:31And without him here, the trust would probably discontinue both

01:20:34Probably

01:20:35So if Victor was killed, maybe it wasn't about protecting Wilfred

01:20:38Maybe it was about protecting this

01:20:40Holy water and mail order face cream

01:20:43Sounds ridiculous

01:20:45Which makes it the perfect front

01:20:52For what?

01:20:55Sailors, gangsters and drug dealers

01:20:57Pardon?

01:21:00Marseille

01:21:00Major centre for drug smuggling

01:21:03As you know

01:21:04What has Marseille got to do with it?

01:21:07What better way to smuggle drugs out of France than in a busload of disabled pilgrims?

01:21:12What?

01:21:12Probably inside the wheelchairs

01:21:14Dennis takes such good care of them

01:21:17And then Post supplies out to customers in pots of face cream

01:21:22You think Dennis is smuggling drugs?

01:21:25Not on his own

01:21:26Who else?

01:21:29Someone with contacts in Marseille

01:21:30Someone with money but no job

01:21:35Someone who'd buy a new bus

01:21:38Just to make sure the trips could continue

01:21:40I'm so sorry

01:21:50No, don't

01:21:52Put the phone down

01:21:56I hoped it wouldn't come to this

01:21:59When I saw your car headed up the drive

01:22:02I hoped you were just going to say goodbye

01:22:03Here we are

01:22:05It was a clever scheme

01:22:07Wasn't it?

01:22:08Worked like clockwork

01:22:10Until that doctor told Victor that Wilfred was a fake

01:22:14How did you find out?

01:22:16Maggie told me

01:22:16I worried if it came out that Wilfred might just sell up

01:22:21Or hand over to the trust and leave

01:22:23No more lured strips

01:22:24Exactly

01:22:25So you killed Victor?

01:22:28No

01:22:28Dennis

01:22:30Victor started yelling about exposing the Granger's dirty secret

01:22:35Dennis thought he meant our little import operation

01:22:39He panicked and pushed him over

01:22:40But not Maggie

01:22:41I convinced her if it came out that Eric would be out of the job

01:22:45God, she was stupidly loyal to that clown

01:22:48Until she snapped about the vote

01:22:50And came straight to you

01:22:51She turned up

01:22:54All fired up

01:22:56Planned to drop her big bombshell as people gathered to vote

01:23:00And then flounce out and head back to London

01:23:02That's what she was dressed for

01:23:03I got her drunk

01:23:04Persuaded her to write a note

01:23:06Walk up to the tower with me

01:23:09And I took a rope

01:23:10It broke my heart

01:23:13You saw that

01:23:16But what else could I do?

01:23:20Oh, shit

01:23:24Keys

01:23:33Slowly

01:23:34What about Michael?

01:23:40How could he have been a threat to you?

01:23:42Dennis felt guilty about Victor

01:23:44Started asking Father Michael about confession

01:23:46Michael began to suspect something

01:23:48He argued with Dennis

01:23:49Told him to go to the police

01:23:50I couldn't take the risk

01:23:52I went to see him when he got back from hospital

01:23:55Told him I wanted to make a confession

01:23:57He couldn't refuse, could he?

01:24:00Unlock it

01:24:00Smothered him with a sheet of plastic

01:24:08It was quick

01:24:09And no traces

01:24:11Same as Grace

01:24:12Get in

01:24:14We're going for a drive

01:24:15We're going for a drive

01:24:16We're going for a drive

01:24:17We're going for a drive

01:24:18We're going for a drive

01:24:38We're going for a drive

01:24:39We're going for a drive

01:24:40We're going for a drive

01:24:41We're going for a drive

01:24:42Is it really necessary to kill Grace?

01:25:08That one's entirely on you, Chief Inspector.

01:25:11Me?

01:25:12How?

01:25:13You just wouldn't go away, so I had to get rid of the list.

01:25:17That meant getting rid of Grace, too.

01:25:19If you hadn't been so stubborn, she'd still be alive.

01:25:25You're right, that's far enough.

01:25:32Right, that's far enough.

01:25:39Right, that's far enough.

01:25:40The body off the cliff up here might not wash up for days, weeks even.

01:26:16Come on.

01:26:17Nobody would be surprised if they found you in the rocks.

01:26:23Your wife and baby died.

01:26:24You stink of grief.

01:26:30What did you do?

01:26:31How did you do not walk over?

01:26:32You are sick.

01:26:33Yes.

01:26:34I was sick.

01:26:35I'm too sick.

01:26:36I was sick, too.

01:26:37Oh, let's go.

01:26:38I was sick.

01:26:39You're sick.

01:26:40I was sick.

01:26:41Right here.

01:26:42I was sick.

01:26:43I was sick.

01:26:44We got him.

01:26:45I was sick.

01:26:46Come on.

01:26:47Come on.

01:26:48Come on, you girl.

01:26:50I was sick.

01:26:51I've been sick, you too.

01:26:52Oh, my God.

01:27:22Oh, my God.

01:27:52Marge, stop!

01:28:03It's over.

01:28:06But it's not, is it?

01:28:09There'll be questions, trials, prison.

01:28:12Leave away from the edge!

01:28:13That's not the ending I choose, Chief Inspector.

01:28:19Cheers.

01:28:22Ash, stop!

01:28:27Now, it's over.

01:28:29I've got you.

01:28:44I've got you.

01:28:48Come on.

01:28:49I've got you too.

01:28:54Come on.

01:28:56Come on.

01:29:00Come on.

01:29:01Come on.

01:29:02Come on.

01:29:03Go on.

01:29:04Come on.
