00:00Ladies, does your washing powder leave your whites dreary and grey?
00:05Try new Flix Flakes in your wash.
00:08Flix brightens my day every day.
00:13This is ludicrous, Ron.
00:16Cut.
00:17What's the problem, Catherine?
00:19Catherine Vale is the epitome of glamour.
00:22My fans don't want to see me like this.
00:24That's the twist. You loved it yesterday.
00:27It's not the way the public see you, Catherine, but you're doing it brilliantly.
00:31Lesson number one, Eva dear. Always be better than the material.
00:35I wrote the material?
00:38You've managed to find fault with every single one of my ideas.
00:42Could that possibly be because they've all been terrible?
00:46Right. We have three days left to deliver the finished advert, so...
00:51I know you don't love this concept, but I also know only you can make it sing.
00:56I've told you, you cannot confine Catherine Vale to a set.
01:01I need air, space, light. I must breathe.
01:06Of course, leave it with me.
01:10You let her walk all over you.
01:12We have to keep her on board somehow.
01:14We need to get out of the studio, find new inspiration.
01:17We could film in Hyde Park.
01:19Better than that. I know just the place.
01:23Away from London. No distractions. We can nail this.
01:27Great. I'll call Frank.
01:29It is his company.
01:31He doesn't need to know.
01:33He doesn't need to know.
01:35But I do need to call a priest.
01:37I like.
01:40Yeah.
01:41Here heyez whispered.
01:43It would be nice toezatel.
01:47I never know.
01:49I love it.
01:50I like it.
01:51I like it.
01:53Yes.
01:54It is, it is very ÛŒsk Entrepreneurial project.
01:56Yeah.
01:58We can novel Coronable Station
02:00I can't thank you enough for letting us film here, Father.
02:09It's a pleasure to welcome you back to the garden you played in as a boy.
02:14Mind your backs, please.
02:15I knew your grandfather, Ron. He's a lovely man.
02:19Well, being sacristan was so important to him.
02:22He'd be very happy that we're donating to St Mary's.
02:25Well, the Church Roof Fund is very grateful.
02:30Now, Mr Sanderson, we're very keen to know the tricks of the advertising trade.
02:35Oh, yeah. Like how you make us want to buy stuff we don't need.
02:39Let's go and have a look.
02:43Almost ready, Ron.
02:45My copywriter, Meg Wilson.
02:47What a beautiful place you've got.
02:48Ah, this is more like it.
02:51Oh, there she is.
02:52Catherine Vale, Hollywood star in the flesh.
02:56Mrs S is her biggest fan.
02:57Welcome to Campbellford, Mrs Vale.
02:59Well, Isabel Sullivan, parish secretary.
03:02I adore your work.
03:04Always a joy to meet my public.
03:06My protégé, Miss Eva Richards, a fine actress in the making.
03:10I hope to one day be as brilliant as Catherine.
03:13It's good to dream, dear.
03:15Now, Ron, darling, what's my line?
03:17I was thinking something like,
03:18Flix, wash is so bright, you'll feel like a star.
03:22Yeah, that's not quite right, is it?
03:24How about Flix, wash is so bright, you'll feel like me, a star.
03:29That's not what I wrote.
03:30I really like that, Catherine.
03:31God, isn't she incredible?
03:33Yeah, she's definitely something.
03:35Well, let's rehearse.
03:37Rehearthing.
03:37I know.
03:40Let her try it, and then we'll find something better.
03:42Okay, if everyone is ready for a rehearsal, and...
03:51Action.
03:54Flix, wash is so bright, you'll feel just like me, a star.
04:00Perfect.
04:01It definitely had something, but perhaps if...
04:04No, no, that's it.
04:06Now, darling, find me somewhere out of the sun.
04:08You're welcome to use the presbytery.
04:10Miss Palmer's prepared tea and cake.
04:12Either bring my correspondence.
04:15And you, Mrs Mulligan.
04:17Sullivan, come, I'll sign a picture for you.
04:19Oh, would you? How marvellous.
04:25What a fascinating process.
04:27Isn't it?
04:28You don't happen to have a telephone I might use?
04:30Of course, in my study.
04:34I adored you in Love in the Dust.
04:36You had such chemistry with Saul Hobbs, and I could pellet it still.
04:41Dear Saul, superb actor, awful man.
04:45One mustn't speak ill of the dead, but, oh, truly.
04:49Eva, letters?
04:51This one's from Biggie Baxter.
04:52The theatre impresario.
04:54He's a dear friend.
04:55Could it be about the audition?
04:56Take them back to my room at our digs.
04:57There's a good girl.
04:58But...
04:59Now.
05:01Ah, Eva, we could use you on set.
05:03She's running an errand for me.
05:04When you're back, then.
05:08Won't be long now, Catherine.
05:10I'm perfectly happy chatting with Mrs Tulliver.
05:16Sorry, where's the telephone?
05:17Erm, through there.
05:19Who are you calling?
05:20No-one.
05:23Just the office.
05:26Erm, fancy some cake, Mrs. Dale?
05:28Charmin.
05:32Don't walk away from me.
05:34Who are you calling?
05:37Catherine, I am simply making a telephone call.
05:41This relentless neediness has got to stop me.
05:43Cannot go on like this.
05:45Brenda.
05:50If we can make them feel something, people are more likely to buy what we're selling.
05:54I see.
05:56Fascinating.
05:58Run said you needed me.
06:00Yes.
06:01Could you stand in for Catherine?
06:05So that we can check the shot.
06:16Flix wash is so bright, you'll feel just like me.
06:20A fated has-been Hollywood star.
06:25That's a bit harsh.
06:27True, though.
06:29Don't let Catherine hear you.
06:31Too late, I'm afraid.
06:33Catherine, I didn't mean to be...
06:35Terrible actress.
06:37Step aside.
06:39You're out of your depth.
06:40I prefer to do the line as agreed, without Eva's hilarious ad-lib.
06:49Ron, I'm ready.
06:51Yes, Catherine.
06:52Right.
06:53Going for a take.
06:57Roll camera.
06:59Something happen?
07:01I'm fine.
07:02Let's just shoot.
07:04Rolling and...
07:06Action!
07:06Flix wash is so bright, you'll feel just like me.
07:11A shining star.
07:14What the hell of stars got to do with Flix?
07:18Frank.
07:19Uh, cut.
07:21You found us.
07:23Great.
07:24You moved the chute without telling me.
07:26What is he doing here?
07:28Frank Hicks.
07:29Flix managing director.
07:30Is this your gaff, is it?
07:33Very nice.
07:34So, Ron, what happened to Flix brightening your day?
07:41Um, can we have a quiet word?
07:52Never a dull moment in advertising.
07:54I know my customers, and all they care about is, can our Flix give them dazzling whites?
08:03Yes, but in advertising, it works when it's about aspiration.
08:08Oh.
08:08Oh.
08:09Sorry.
08:10I'm just sticking me washing on.
08:12Let's ask this nice lady.
08:15You wash with Flix, right?
08:16What's more important, feelings or whites?
08:23Um, whites, definitely.
08:26See, you're a good man, Ron.
08:29I like you.
08:30But let's do it my way, eh?
08:32Fine, but let me deal with Catherine.
08:35She can be tricky.
08:36Just a bit.
08:39We...
08:41I think it would work better if, instead of the cocktail, you were holding the box of Flix.
08:48That's not what we agreed.
08:50And if you could say, Flix washes whites so bright, I'm dazzled.
08:56What happened to my star line?
08:58It wasn't landing.
09:02Well, perhaps instead, I will not take acting tips from a talentless amateur, Miss Richards.
09:11Oh, come on.
09:12She was only trying to help.
09:14And you can shut up, too.
09:15What do you know about anything?
09:16Lady, I worked on Madison Avenue.
09:18Girl, I worked in Hollywood.
09:21Now let me speak to my director alone.
09:25Oh, blimey.
09:26It's only washing Flix.
09:29Catherine takes all of her roles very seriously, mind her.
09:43Going for a take.
09:45Rolling.
09:47Action.
09:49Flix washes whites so bright, I'm dazzled.
09:53Really give it some welly.
09:56You're here to sell Flix, remember?
09:59Cut.
10:00Frank, don't.
10:02Did you just direct me?
10:05And lift the box a bit higher.
10:08That's it.
10:09Nice big close-up.
10:13No one manhandles Catherine Vale.
10:17Catherine, Frank was just...
10:19That's it.
10:20I quit.
10:25She's coming back, right?
10:27That's lunch, everybody.
10:29Lunch?
10:30Go and get her.
10:32You are welcome to try.
10:36Nothing is ever enough to make Catherine happy.
10:40Nothing.
10:41That's just so sad.
10:42She's rich, she's famous.
10:44What's she got to be unhappy about?
10:47Did you speak to her?
10:48I tried.
10:50Needed to down a stiff drink after.
10:52Blimey, she's...
10:54I know.
10:55You all right, Mr Higgs?
10:56Not cut out for this advertising lark, Father.
11:00Catherine is missing.
11:01She's not our digs.
11:03What did you say to her?
11:05Well, just to come back and finish.
11:07She doesn't carry money, so she can't have gone far.
11:10Might I suggest we split up and search for her?
11:13Good idea, Father.
11:14Kid gloves when we find her.
11:16Please, everyone.
11:19Honestly, she's forever doing things like this.
11:21Storming off, thinking everything about her.
11:23I'm sure we'll find her.
11:26Hang on.
11:27What's that?
11:45Drowned.
11:46Obvious signs of a struggle.
11:48Yeah.
11:49Flicks.
11:50Hmm?
11:51Yeah, five o'clock swears by it.
11:53Hmm.
11:54Yes.
11:54Thank you, Sergeant.
11:56Corral the witnesses, would you?
11:58Yeah.
11:58Not you, sir.
12:03There's blood under her fingernails.
12:06She must have fought back.
12:08We'll get that tested.
12:11Father, you need to stay clear of this case.
12:14Catherine Vale's death will make headlines.
12:16This investigation must be watertight.
12:18Poor choice of words, but...
12:23Have you seen her ears?
12:25They're green.
12:27Hmm.
12:28Perhaps.
12:29But that could all...
12:29Look, look.
12:30This is exactly what I'm talking about.
12:32No investigating.
12:33Can you all account for your whereabouts over lunch?
12:42I lost aura on set.
12:43I telephoned my wife.
12:47Our baby's not been well.
12:49And then I was with Father Brown.
12:51I spoke to Frank after he saw her, then went back to my room.
12:57Mr. Hicks?
12:59We had a quiet word in the scullery, but she was alive when I left.
13:04You weren't wearing that neckerchief this morning.
13:07No, um...
13:08It felt a bit cold.
13:10Could you remove it, please, sir?
13:19How did you acquire those scratches, Mr. Hicks?
13:22It's not what it looks like.
13:27Frank Hicks, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
13:29What are you doing?
13:31You're not obliged to say anything, but anything you say may be given in evidence.
13:34It wasn't me.
13:35I swear I didn't kill her.
13:42I tried to apologise, but she just wouldn't have it.
13:46And then she scratched you?
13:48She went to walk out, I grabbed her arm, and she dug her nails in.
13:54My family company's on the line here.
13:57She was the new face of flicks.
14:00Why would I kill her?
14:01Do you know of anyone else who might have wanted to harm Mrs. Vale?
14:05Well, apparently she threw her weight around with everyone.
14:10Even said she wanted me banned from the set.
14:12And she said she was going to tell Ron to sack Meg.
14:18Does Miss Wilson know about all this?
14:22I warned her.
14:23I don't know what she'd done to deserve that.
14:26Will you help me, father?
14:28I will endeavour to find out who did this.
14:32And will you help them to finish the advert?
14:35I can't lose my business, too.
14:38I'll do what I can.
14:39I just can't believe it.
14:44Frank seemed like such a nice bloke.
14:46I know.
14:48And what about the advert?
14:50That concept could have worked, but now Catherine's gone.
14:54We need a fresh start with one day left.
14:55Fresh start?
14:58Fresh like...
14:59a young woman running through the flowers.
15:07But Flicks Flakes are even fresher.
15:10It's all about the mood.
15:12We need a meadow and a young woman.
15:14What, we've already got one?
15:16Me?
15:18But Catherine's barely cold.
15:20She would have wanted you to do this.
15:21I'm not so sure about that.
15:23Show must go on, Eva.
15:24You're strolling through the fields
15:44when you come across just washed sheets.
15:47And the freshness overwhelms you
15:49when you say,
15:50Flicks, wash is so fresh,
15:52I can feel it.
15:53Got it?
15:54I'll give it my all.
15:58Ooh, nice flop.
16:00Are you ready for this?
16:02I think so.
16:04It's all I've ever wanted.
16:06I've all waited for it to happen, though.
16:11I admire your devotion to your profession, Miss Walson.
16:15Clearly means a lot to you.
16:17Sure does.
16:18For a woman like me,
16:19a job like this is hard to come by.
16:20It would be a blow to lose your position.
16:27Frank told you.
16:30Catherine had no power to fire me.
16:32Ron's my boss, not her.
16:34But she clearly had significant sway over him.
16:38Did you confront her?
16:41All right, yes.
16:43I found her in the scullery after her spat with Frank.
16:46Why didn't you tell the police?
16:50Because I know how it looks.
16:53I asked her not to fire me.
16:55It didn't work.
16:56So, to be honest,
16:58I used a bit of flattery.
17:00Ah, yes.
17:02I told her I'm her biggest fan.
17:04That it was my idea to hire her.
17:07That way her ailing career got a boost
17:09and we got a star.
17:12I really wanted it to work,
17:13but you saw how she was.
17:16Please think of anyone
17:17who might have wanted Catherine dead.
17:20Throw a rock, Father.
17:22She gave anyone who met her a reason.
17:24Eva.
17:25Feeling frank?
17:27Wish me luck.
17:28Good luck.
17:29Break a leg.
17:29Well?
17:34Well, she clearly has a motive,
17:36but enough to kill?
17:37I don't know.
17:43Catherine's death has worked out well for Miss Richards.
17:46Father, she adored her.
17:49She called her a faded husband.
17:52And Catherine snapped her, Eva,
17:54about the letter from Bonky Summer.
17:57Binky Backstone.
17:58She told Eva to take it to her room and her dicks.
18:03Did she indeed?
18:15Oh, pink silk sheets.
18:19How exotic.
18:22Aren't they a bit slippy?
18:23She lived such an incredible life.
18:27From poplar to Hollywood.
18:30From rags to riches.
18:33She had a few years away from the screen
18:35when the talkies came along.
18:37Lost count of how many times she'd been married.
18:40Rumours of lots of affairs.
18:42Never any children.
18:45So sad the way her career just faded away.
18:48Indeed.
18:51No letter from Binky Baxter in here.
18:54Fleury de vie.
18:56Très exclusive.
18:59You cannot get this anywhere on this side of the channel.
19:02All right, let's have a whiff then.
19:04Brenda, a little respect, please.
19:07Besides, that's not how you do it.
19:09Spray a little mist into the air
19:11and glide through.
19:14Oh, that is revolting.
19:18Oh.
19:19Hi there.
19:21Look.
19:23Ah.
19:25A jigsaw puzzle.
19:30Something about an audition.
19:33Catherine snapped at Eva when she asked about an audition.
19:35She was far too famous to still be doing that, surely.
19:39As you suggested,
19:40too inexperienced for the part.
19:43Inexperienced?
19:44Catherine?
19:46Role of Juliet.
19:48Oh, she's far too old for that.
19:52Well, if it wasn't Miss Vale,
19:55who was auditioning?
19:56Flix wash is so fresh.
20:09I can feel it.
20:12Cut.
20:14It's not working.
20:15I know, it's just...
20:16Who am I?
20:17Where am I going?
20:18And why am I in this field?
20:19None of that matters.
20:21It's all about the mood.
20:23I can't play a mood.
20:24Can I?
20:25I understand.
20:25Look,
20:27take a break while we have a think.
20:31Such a simple idea.
20:34Catherine will know how to make it work.
20:37Eva,
20:38Catherine snapped at you yesterday
20:39when you asked about Binky Baxter's letter.
20:41Yes.
20:42We found the letter in Mrs Vale's room.
20:45Did you audition for the role of Juliet?
20:49Catherine said she'd recommend me to him.
20:51So I did well, maybe in with a chance.
20:53And yet, the letter revealed that unbeknownst to you,
20:57Mrs Vale had urged Mr Baxter not to cast you.
21:03How could she do that?
21:05She was my mentor.
21:07She was supposed to support me, not stab me in the back.
21:09You must have been upset.
21:10Of course.
21:11That's why I tore it up.
21:12I was furious.
21:13Furious enough to hurt her?
21:15No.
21:17I idolised her.
21:18I could never do something like that.
21:20Even if it meant you could step into her shoes.
21:23I've wanted to be Catherine ever since I was six years old.
21:25There's no way on earth I could have killed her.
21:27Let's go again and just try relaxing on the next take.
21:35May I?
21:35Father.
21:39Mrs Vale was your mentor, but her acting style is not yours.
21:44Perhaps you could be a little less formal.
21:47More yourself.
21:49He's right.
21:50You should stop acting.
21:51I've only just started.
21:53No, she means you've been performing it as Catherine would have.
21:58Stiff.
22:00Old school.
22:02This time, let all that go and just be.
22:08I'll try.
22:09Let's go again!
22:11Thank you, Father.
22:15Poor Eva.
22:17For her mentor to turn on her like that.
22:22Sergeant.
22:23Mr Hicks has the same blood group found under Catherine's fingernails.
22:27Extremely rare type.
22:28We're charging him with murder.
22:30I see.
22:32He wants to talk to you, Father.
22:33Says he's remembering something.
22:42Oh, thanks for coming, Father.
22:46This is a nightmare.
22:48How can they hang me for something I didn't do?
22:50I'm working on that.
22:52There's something you want to tell me.
22:55I've had a lot of time to think stuck in here.
22:58Going over every moment from yesterday and something struck me.
23:03You remember when Ron and Catherine had that quiet word?
23:07I do.
23:07I heard her say something like, take back what you said and I'll do it your way.
23:15Or else.
23:17You think she had some kind of hold over Mr Sanderson?
23:21It definitely seemed that way to me.
23:23If she said jump, he jumped.
23:26He wasn't the most experienced, bless him.
23:29Only set up his business last year.
23:31Forgive me, but if your firm has so much riding on this advertisement, why not use someone more seasoned?
23:39He did this campaign I saw in one of my wife's magazines.
23:44Exclusive French perfume.
23:46I can't remember the name.
23:50Fleury de Vie.
23:52Yeah.
23:53If that's the one.
23:58Goodness.
23:59Flix wash is so fresh, I can really feel it.
24:03Cut.
24:04I don't know.
24:07What do you think?
24:08I'm really trying not to act.
24:10And it's great, but the concept doesn't fit you anymore.
24:14No, no, you're right.
24:15It needs something else.
24:18Oh, come on.
24:19It's not atomic physics.
24:21All we're trying to do is sell Flix Flakes to housewives.
24:24Um.
24:26Father.
24:30Housewives buy Flix Flakes?
24:32Right, and...
24:33And what are housewives?
24:37Erm...
24:37Mothers?
24:38Yes.
24:39And?
24:40And daughters.
24:43Precisely.
24:45You can make people feel, you can make them buy.
24:50And what makes people feel more than the unbreakable love between a mother and her daughter?
24:57It's genius.
24:59Have you ever thought about going into advertising, Father?
25:01What do you think, Meg?
25:04Mothers and daughters.
25:05The sacred heart of the family.
25:08I can see it.
25:11It could work, I guess.
25:13But we've got one afternoon.
25:15We're low on film stock and no cast.
25:17I mean, I would love to play the daughter.
25:20I'd know how to be that part.
25:21You're hired.
25:22Again.
25:23And Mrs. S could play the mother.
25:28I could.
25:30As a mother.
25:31And a daughter.
25:32And an actress.
25:33I do have all the relevant experience, if you think I'm suitable.
25:38Suitable?
25:39You're perfect.
25:40What do you say, Meg?
25:42It writes itself.
25:44I can give it a try.
25:46But what's the setting?
25:48Actually, I think we had it right the first time.
25:52Father, do you think we could...
25:53Yes.
25:54Of course.
25:55Great.
25:56New plan.
25:57All back to the presbytery.
25:59If you can get everything set up, write the script.
26:01You know what it needs.
26:04Oh, sorry, Ron.
26:05Just a few queries.
26:07Who is this mother?
26:10What's her background?
26:12What does she want from life?
26:13What accent shall I do her with?
26:17Oh, er...
26:19Meg will answer all your questions, Mrs. Sullivan.
26:22I just need to make a telephone call.
26:24Right.
26:29Meg.
26:31I love you, darling.
26:34I'm sorry I've been away so long.
26:38It's home tomorrow.
26:40Give Mary a kiss for me.
26:46It must be hard to maintain a marriage when your work is so all-consuming.
26:52Edith's finding it very hard with the new baby.
26:54I feel terrible being so distracted.
26:58I noticed Mrs. Vale placed demands on you.
27:02She had a flacon of fleurie de vie perfume amongst her most personal possessions.
27:10I understand it's very hard to come by.
27:16What are you implying, father?
27:18Does Mrs. Sanderson know about your indiscretion?
27:21Edith is my first and only love.
27:33I stayed faithful all through the war, even during my service.
27:38And then...
27:38Edith's been so preoccupied with the baby, I was ripe for the picking.
27:51But Catherine had such magnetism and charisma.
27:54I couldn't say no to her.
27:58And I didn't want to.
28:02But then yesterday, Catherine demanded I leave Edith to be with her.
28:07Well, I refused, told her it was over.
28:12And she swore she'd tell Edith everything if I didn't take it back.
28:18Did you kill her?
28:19No, I'm not a murderer.
28:22But it is true.
28:24With her gone, my only real problem is how to finish the advert.
28:29And how to deal with your guilt.
28:32I can't tell Edith.
28:34Edith, she'd leave me.
28:39Mr. Sanderson,
28:41the truth may wound,
28:44but it can also heal.
28:52I think she'd be more glamorous.
28:55Meg said plain.
28:58Dowdy!
29:00Maureen has style.
29:02Who's Maureen?
29:03It's the name I've given her.
29:05She's from the Bristol area.
29:08What, via Barnsley?
29:10Mrs. Sullivan, you look the part.
29:12Thank you, Father.
29:14You spoke to Ron.
29:16Did he?
29:18Guilty of moral weakness, yes.
29:21But of murder?
29:22I don't think so.
29:24So who's next?
29:26That's just it.
29:28I don't know.
29:29Look at you.
29:33Perfect mother.
29:35And you have a fan already.
29:39Edgar, what are you doing here?
29:42I ticked him off.
29:43Well, I have to be here to see this.
29:46We need you on set, Isabel.
29:48Could I have a minute?
29:51Oh!
29:52Yeah.
29:52Perfect mother, eh?
29:59You're already the perfect wife.
30:02Are we ready for this?
30:03My face on every television in the land?
30:07Being recognised in the street?
30:09And what's Eddie going to say?
30:11This will change our lives.
30:13Yes.
30:16Certainly change our washing flakes.
30:19Edgar, I'm being serious.
30:21You'll be wonderful, as you always are.
30:24And then life will go back to normal.
30:27Now.
30:29Break a leg.
30:30Oh!
30:33Eva, you're struggling with your whites.
30:36Then your mother comes to the rescue with Flix Flix.
30:39Now, Isabel.
30:40Maureen, I'm in character.
30:44Maureen, your daughter really needs your help.
30:46Jeannie.
30:47That's her name.
30:48Fine.
30:50Jeannie has struggled without you,
30:53but now she truly needs you to be her perfect mother.
30:55Yes.
30:57I can be that.
30:59Great.
31:00Let's try a run-through.
31:01Meg, if you can drop the box in on cue.
31:04Rehearsing.
31:08And?
31:09Hey.
31:09I've got your note, sir.
31:11Have I missed the action?
31:12Not yet, Sergeant.
31:13Oh, fancy us knowing a television star, eh?
31:15Quiet on set, please.
31:16Sorry.
31:17Sorry.
31:18Action.
31:21Gray again?
31:22Why can't I get my whites as white as yours, Mother?
31:25That's because you need my secret ingredient.
31:28Oh, oh, oh, oh.
31:29Maybe try it in your own accent, Mrs Sullivan.
31:33Maureen, I mean.
31:34If you insist.
31:34That's...
31:35That's because you need my secret ingredient, darling.
31:43Flix.
31:46Flix?
31:46Just one scoop in my machine gives me perfect whites.
31:50Every wash.
31:51It's wonderful writing, Miss Wilson.
31:53I don't know how I'll ever be able to manage without you, Mother.
31:59I'll always be with you.
32:01Mothers.
32:03Because we'll always have Flix.
32:06And their daughters.
32:08I'm...
32:09Oh, Meg.
32:09I'm so sorry.
32:11I don't feel so good.
32:12All right.
32:14Er, Brenda.
32:15Could I get you to step in?
32:17That was perfect, you two.
32:19We're going to go for a take.
32:19I'm going to go for it.
32:22Oh.
32:35Miss Wilson!
32:45Oh.
32:45Oh.
32:46Oh.
32:46Oh.
32:47Oh.

34:15you did what you did because your heart was broken
34:20better in vale was your mother
34:34how did you figure it out
34:38your reluctance to write a script about mothers and daughters
34:41then your emotional response to the scene
34:47and mrs vale's earrings dyed her skin green likewise your watch from holding her under
34:55soapy water
35:00you hide her to get close to her
35:05i spent my life trying to trace my breath mother
35:08and last year my father found me
35:13he was dying cancer
35:20he wanted me to know the truth
35:22so
35:24it's
35:24it's all hobson
35:28a co-star
35:29in loving the dust
35:31I met him in the hospice the day he died.
35:38The last thing he said was that Catherine was my mother.
35:49So the time she spent away from the screen when the talkies came in,
35:54she was trying to hide the scandal of her own affair with a black man
35:58to save her career.
36:01But it was over by then anyway.
36:06She moved back to England, so I came to manage to get a job with Juan.
36:13Soon as the Flix Commission came in, I knew it was my chance.
36:18She was desperate to make a comeback.
36:20I was just happy to be around her.
36:25She treated me like dirt.
36:28Perhaps you painfully reminded her of her long-lost child,
36:35little knowing that it was, in fact, you.
36:39Yesterday, when Frank told me that she wanted me fired,
36:45I knew I had to tell her who I was.
36:48You can't fire me!
36:50I can do anything I damn well please.
36:52I'm the star.
36:52But I'm your daughter.
36:53I do not have a soul to-
36:57So told me.
37:05Margaret.
37:05I prefer Meg.
37:09I understand why you didn't want me in your life then.
37:16But I'm here now.
37:19And I thought that maybe we could...
37:23Please?
37:25Mother?
37:26Don't call me that.
37:29Just let me be in your life.
37:31I don't want you in my life.
37:33I want my career back.
37:35No one is to know of this, you understand.
37:36No one!
37:37How can you do this?
37:38Easily!
37:39You should never have been born!
37:40No!
37:42No, that's not true.
37:44I should have got rid of you!
37:45And now she's gone and I have nothing left.
38:06You must confess and repent your sin for the sake of your immortal soul.
38:13Tell the police everything.
38:15He'll hang me.
38:17If you don't, then Frank Hicks faces the gallows.
38:22They will be lenient.
38:24This was not a premeditated act of evil.
38:30In that moment you were a lost, wounded child.
38:34But if you run, Miss Wilson, this pain will never end.
38:45I don't know how I'll ever manage without you, Mother.
38:49I'll always be with you because...
38:52We'll always have flicks.
38:56Cut.
38:58Check that.
39:00If that's clear, it's a wrap.
39:02You're incredible.
39:03So moving and so real.
39:05I don't know what happened.
39:06I just suddenly felt so sad.
39:07Aw, I knew you could do it.
39:09For the first time, I feel like I know what kind of actress I'm meant to be.
39:14Well, you were rather marvellous, too.
39:15If she was.
39:16You were.
39:17You were.
39:18Truly.
39:19Proper border tear to my eye, Mrs. Sullivan.
39:20I can tell you.
39:21Wasn't that just a hay fever, Sergeant?
39:22Oh, good girl.
39:23It's just a shame Meg and Father Brown missed it.
39:24Oh, look.
39:25Meg, it worked.
39:26We got it.
39:27That's great, Ron.
39:28I'm really happy for you.
39:29For us?
39:30Wait till you see it.
39:31I might have to imagine it.
39:33Inspector Sullivan, Catherine Vale, she was my mother.
39:37And I need to speak to you.
39:39Her own mother.
39:40Nicole.
39:41Oh, my God.
39:42I'm really happy for you.
39:43I'm really happy for you.
39:44For us?
39:45Wait till you see it.
39:46I might have to imagine it.
39:47Inspector Sullivan, Catherine Vale, she was my mother.
39:52And I need to speak to you.
39:54Her own mother.
40:06Nicole.
40:07Poor Catherine.
40:08Who are Meg?
40:11Come on.
40:12I'll make you a nice cup of tea.
40:13I wish Meg had told me who she was.
40:16I could have helped.
40:20Perhaps her shame at her abandonment was too much to bear.
40:23I told Edith everything.
40:28She's incredibly hurt.
40:32But she still wants me to come home and talk.
40:37Thank you, Father.
40:40Have faith, Mr. Sanderson.
40:43To err is human.
40:46To forgive divine.
40:49Good to see you again, Frank.
40:50Ah.
40:51I had to come and thank you for saving my bacon.
40:52It was a good thing, Frank.
40:56Good to see you again, Frank.
41:17I had to come and thank you for saving my bacon, didn't I?
41:22Finished advert airs tonight.
41:24Eve is a proper star in the making.
41:27Wait till you see her.
41:29What you got there, Sarge?
41:30I promised Mrs Goodfellow that you'd sign a box for her.
41:33She's such a fan.
41:35This is it, Edgar, the day our lives change.
41:39Will you do the honours as well, Mrs Sullivan?
41:41I'd better be delighted, Sergeant.
41:44Violet and I will be watching.
41:47That reminds me, Mrs Sullivan,
41:49to thank you for stepping in,
41:51a token of my appreciation,
41:53and by way of an apology.
41:56That's so kind.
41:58I don't understand.
42:01What do you have to apologise for, Frank?
42:03The finished advert might not be quite what you're expecting.
42:07There now follows a short commercial break.
42:11Here we go.
42:14Grey again?
42:15Why can't I get my white as white as yours, Mother?
42:17Flicks?
42:21Flicks?
42:22Just one scoop of flicks in your machine
42:24gives you perfect whites.
42:26It's every mother's secret.
42:30I don't know how I'll ever be able to manage without you, Mother.
42:33But we'll always have flicks.
42:36Well, it certainly makes you feel something.
42:53Hmm.
42:53Yeah.
42:55Sad.
42:56Erm, was you a ghost all along, then?
42:59No, they've changed the concept.
43:00Oh!
43:01Oh, well, you're not too disappointed, are you?
43:06No!
43:07No, I'm perfectly happy here as parish secretary.
43:13What did you think, Father?
43:14I think fame's loss is Kembleford's gain.
43:26Yeah.
43:27Well, I might not be a television star, but...
43:31We'll always have flicks.
43:37Ha-ha-ha!
43:38Come on, man!
43:41Come on, man!
43:41Come on, man!
43:45Come on, man!
