00:04Oh, I'm so sorry, Father.
00:06Unpacking everything has put me so far behind on my parish paperwork.
00:10I'm just pleased you and the inspector are settling in so well.
00:15What's with that?
00:16Did Mrs McCarthy leave it behind on purpose?
00:20Actually, that was a housewarming gift for me from Edgar.
00:26It's very striking.
00:27It's hideous.
00:28I know, but I haven't the heart to tell him.
00:32It's been difficult with his demotion.
00:35I'm trying to make things easier for him.
00:39Oh, hello.
00:41Mrs Goodfellow.
00:42Father Brown, Brenda.
00:44Guess who I've just had a telephone call from?
00:47Joyce Weber.
00:48She's inviting us for drinks over at her house this evening.
00:52What? No!
00:55Joyce Weber is the superintendent's wife.
00:58She's the head of the CPWS.
01:02The Cotswold Policeman's Wives Society.
01:05Oh, I've been to a few of their fundraising events.
01:08They're the absolute inner circle.
01:10This is a huge honour.
01:11I've been going to their functions for over 20 years and I've never been invited to anything like this before.
01:16So why now?
01:18And isn't it a bit last minute?
01:19There's a big charity auction at Hambleston tomorrow and most of the organising committee have caught in Patigo.
01:27Ooh.
01:27Shall I call her back and confirm?
01:29Yes!
01:30Wait!
01:31No, I can't.
01:33I've got these parish returns and I've not even started on the numbers for Mass.
01:38They all have to be sent to the diocese by tomorrow.
01:41Well, I can always do that for you.
01:43Really?
01:44Of course.
01:45I've seen you do it often enough.
01:47And I have every faith in Miss Palmer's abilities.
01:51Oh, thank you, Brenda!
01:53Edgar would be so proud if I became part of the Policeman's Wives Club.
01:57This evening has to go well.
01:59Oh, thank you.
02:29How's my hair?
02:31The same as the last time you asked.
02:33No, it's important, Edgar.
02:35I want to make a good impression.
02:37You look lovely.
02:40See?
02:41There's no need to be nervous.
02:42Easy for you to say, Inspector.
02:44I'm no good at socialising with the top brass.
02:46Just be yourself, Daniel.
02:48Exactly.
02:49I've attended hundreds of these things.
02:51They're usually extremely dark.
02:53Good evening.
02:54Can I take your coats?
02:55Hello.
02:55Good evening.
02:58Welcome.
02:58It's lovely you could come, isn't it?
03:01Absolutely.
03:03I'm Mrs. Inspector Rendon.
03:04Or Angie, to you and I.
03:07I know, Mrs. Rendon.
03:09I'm Violet Goodfellow.
03:11We have met quite a few times, actually.
03:13Of course, Violet.
03:14It's so remiss of me.
03:16We should have had you round years ago.
03:18And this must be your husband.
03:20Yep.
03:21Sergeant Goodfellow.
03:22Ma'am.
03:23Charmed.
03:23Hello.
03:24Isabel Sullivan.
03:25Thank you so much for the invitation, Mrs. Webber.
03:28It's Joyce.
03:29And I've been dying to meet you properly.
03:31We presumed the inspector was happy being a lifelong bachelor.
03:35You must be a very special woman for him to give that up.
03:39Gerald, just in time.
03:40He got held up at work.
03:41Oh, Rendon.
03:42Chaps, if you'll excuse me, I need a word.
03:45My office.
03:46Mm-hmm.
03:47Please, help yourself to drinks.
03:49We're all set up in the sitting room.
03:50If you could start things off.
03:52After all, we do have an auction to finalise.
03:54Now, Joyce.
03:56Come on, then.
03:57The annual charity auction is one of the most important events in the CPWS social calendar.
04:02Now, we might have lost most of our proper committee, but we still need to do our best.
04:07Especially as this year, the Chief Constable Brand will be attending.
04:12Ooh, the Chief Constable.
04:14Is that what Gerald spoke with you about?
04:15Yes.
04:17Now, all the money raised will go to the Cotswold Police Widows and Orphans Charity.
04:22And as you can see, we've got some top-draw items to auction off.
04:28A Persian rug.
04:30A Singer 201 cape with a vertical rotary hook.
04:35Violet runs the village sewing circle.
04:38Of course she does.
04:39Well, I hope you plan to bid for it, then, Violet.
04:41Bid and win.
04:43Now, I'll need volunteers at the event.
04:45To make sure things all run smoothly.
04:47I don't mind helping out.
04:48Neither do I.
04:50Sorry I'm a little late.
04:52Carol!
04:53But, actually, I bumped into another guest on the way over.
04:56Good evening, one and all.
04:58Mrs Webber telephoned me and asked me to pop by.
05:01I had a few questions about the charity side of things.
05:04I had thought that Mrs Lawson here would be able to answer them.
05:08As she runs the Widows and Orphans Charity.
05:11Yes, but we always welcome your advice, Father.
05:14I must get you a drink.
05:16Angie, would you mind?
05:20Of course.
05:25This way.
05:29Damn shame I'd have me to use, Solomon.
05:31Fine, please.
05:32Oh, no, not for me, thank you, sir.
05:35You know, I'm still not sure what you even did.
05:39There was an issue with the case.
05:42Some outside interference.
05:44Hang on.
05:45What's the priest doing here?
05:46Your wife invited me, Superintendent Webber.
05:50Allow me.
06:00Got a good one here, Rendon.
06:02Too many of these young women want more.
06:04Careers and such like.
06:06Well, I already have a job, Superintendent.
06:08He's looking after my husband.
06:11How about your new wife, Solomon?
06:14Presume she doesn't work.
06:15Actually, she's Father Brown's parish secretary.
06:19Respectable work, at least.
06:20Not too...
06:22over-stimulating.
06:24Well...
06:25has its moment.
06:29Inna?
06:31Franklin.
06:32No, no, no.
06:33Inspectors Finley and Franklin can't sit together.
06:35Not after the charity golf fiasco.
06:37Now you mention it,
06:38I read about that in Miss F's column.
06:41Don't get me started on that woman.
06:43Miss F?
06:44Oh, she has a gossip column
06:45every Friday in the Cotswold Enquirer.
06:48She is a muckraker.
06:50No wonder she doesn't use her real name.
06:52You know she described me as a social climber.
06:54Me.
06:55My husband went to one of the county's top schools.
06:59So did Superintendent Webber, I understand.
07:02A few years before, of course.
07:04But no, they have a lot in common.
07:06In fact,
07:07Gerald is personally recommending Michael for chief inspector.
07:11Oh, Isabel, I'm so sorry.
07:13Me talking about Michael having a promotion
07:15when your husband got demoted
07:17almost immediately after you got married.
07:19Those things were unrelated.
07:21Oh, no, no, no.
07:22I didn't mean any offence.
07:23We police wives need to stick together.
07:25I mean...
07:27Look at poor Carol.
07:29It has been over a year since Terry died.
07:32Wouldn't hurt to put some lipstick on.
07:37Well...
07:37Are we sure the committee have got in Patigo?
07:40Or are they just trying to avoid Angie?
07:48Pull yourself together.
07:50Think about your promotion.
07:53I told you I don't want the damn job anyway.
07:55Language!
07:57We had a plan.
08:00You're to become chief inspector by the end of the year.
08:04Or else.
08:12And Mrs. Danbury can go by Sergeant Harker's wife.
08:18Done.
08:19I don't know how you do it.
08:23You done?
08:24Oh, yes, sorry.
08:25Come on, darling.
08:26Go on.
08:27Because I have an announcement to make.
08:30This auction tomorrow will be my wife's last event for the CPWS.
08:34She's giving it up.
08:35Really?
08:36She's keen to spend more time at home.
08:39Aren't you, darling?
08:41Yes.
08:42That's a great loss.
08:44Let's raise a glass to Mrs. Webber.
08:46Oh!
08:47Oh!
08:48Sorry, sorry.
08:50It must be a reaction to his new allergy medicine.
08:53Perhaps Inspector Rendon would benefit from a lie down.
08:56Could you take him to the drawing room?
08:58Come on.
08:59Hold yourself together, man.
09:01I'll get a cloth.
09:05Apparently there's a telephone call for Inspector Sullivan.
09:11Thank you, Jenkins.
09:13I'll be right there.
09:14Some trouble at the Red Lion, local chap Joe Arbuthnot.
09:17Oh, I can go, sir.
09:19Arby sometimes thinks he's back in the Great War.
09:21He usually listens to me, though.
09:23Good man.
09:25So, Zalab...
09:27How would you like to see the implementation schedule for my new police radios?
09:30I'd love to, sir.
09:36I will ensure that Mrs. Goodfellow gets home safely.
09:39Thank you, Father.
09:41I'm so sorry, love.
09:42I understand, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
09:46You be careful.
09:47I will.
09:50Oh, I thought Inspector Rendon might need water, but he's passed out snoring.
09:59And you'll be waterfied.
10:02That wretched medication.
10:04I have a good mind to speak to Michael's doctor.
10:06Oh, please.
10:07We all know it was the half bottle of malt he drank.
10:12Maybe we should think about leaving.
10:17You could have said that before I spent an hour learning about the superintendent's implementation schedule.
10:23I'll find Father Brown and Violet.
10:26I'll make our excuses to our host.
10:35Sir, I'm afraid we, um...
10:39I need help in here!
10:42Mrs. Goodfellow!
10:45Mrs. Goodfellow?
10:47Mrs. Goodfellow?
10:49Mrs. Goodfellow?
10:54Mrs. Goodfellow?
10:54She's alive.
10:55Anything?
11:06How is Mrs. Goodfellow?
11:08She's unconscious.
11:09The ambulance is rushing her to hospital.
11:12Sustained a nasty blow to the back of the head.
11:14She must have interrupted the killer.
11:19use the superintendent's own truncheon against him doesn't look like a burglary no sign of forced
11:27entry which means it's likely to be someone who is already in the house father i can take it from
11:50here okay fitzherbert it's my maiden name a gift for my 21st birthday oh father what am i
12:06to do you will get through this choice i promise i'll have to cancel the auction of course
12:15all that work and i really wanted michael to meet the chief constable
12:27man is dead our friend is injured and all she cares about is her husband's career
12:34did anyone get a message to sergeant goodfellow yes he's on his way to the hospital oh father
12:42what if violet doesn't make it i'm sure the doctors are doing everything they can
12:48she's lucky it wasn't worse however they suspect there might be swelling on the brain and until
12:53it subsides they just don't know i should never have left her father i should have been there to
12:58protect her you were doing your job sergeant and besides there were three senior police officers
13:06present and one of them ended up dead what if what if vice or the killer's face they might come
13:13back
13:14to finish the job but surely the officer posted here will protect her as will i i'm not leaving her
13:22aside not again so you think it was an inside job father apparently superintendent webber let the staff
13:31go early so that leaves the guests and the hostess so the killer is one of the wives or inspector
13:39rendon but he wouldn't have been capable not in his drunken state at this stage we can't rule anything
13:45out what's that it's a list of letters i saw in the superintendent's study father is mrs goodfellow
13:53really in danger if she can identify the killer that is a possibility then we need to find out who
14:02did
14:02this and speak to everyone who was there well actually most of them will be in the same place this
14:08morning
14:15i am surprised it's still going ahead oh isabel just in time so meredith you're on cloakroom duty
14:24angie meeting and greeting carol can you help the auctioneer and isabel you're to chaperone chief
14:31constable brant surely it makes more sense we haven't got time to debate it we've only a few hours until
14:38the event begins look lively people we've got all those auction lots to put on display
14:45joyce can i just check so mrs webber's husband has just been murdered and yet she's acting like
14:51nothing happened people react in different ways brenda and the cpws is clearly very important to
14:56joyce but last night superintendent webber announced that she was standing down oh how gorgeous
15:04yes it's a mixer oh look here's something even better i don't think that ugly thing would raise
15:11much oh i don't know maybe someone wants to start a collection how did you get on with the parish
15:16returns brenda oh yeah fine it's all sorted oh violet had her heart set on this sewing machine
15:26is there any news doctors are still waiting for her to come round she'll pull through she's a police
15:32wife we can handle a lot no what are you doing this is completely absurd no this is wrong i
15:40didn't
15:41murder him you can tell me all about that to the station mrs webber no you can't do this
15:49they surely can't think she killed gerald well i love joyce but you never know what goes on behind
15:55closed doors
16:04ah i wondered how long it would take father i'm curious about mrs webber's arrest inspector
16:12i presume you've uncovered some compelling new evidence no my arrest the wives have murdered senior
16:19policemen for fun
16:23all right
16:26we found these locked in superintendent webber's desk
16:34you don't show the man's face
16:36no from his bill it's clearly not superintendent webber
16:42according to the dates they met every thursday at the same hotel
16:46it appears mrs webber is having an affair and the superintendent found out about it
16:52what does mrs webber say
16:53she's refusing to talk until her solicitor arrives from gloucester
16:58but we all saw the tension between them yesterday evening
17:01i believe he confronted her and things turned
17:07inspector
17:08i don't suppose you have a copy of the cotswold inquire at hand
17:18the inspector thinks you were having an affair
17:23but it wasn't love that brought you to that hotel was it
17:26it was your job
17:28the hotel is next door to the officers of the cotswold inquirer
17:32and the anonymous gossip column by miss f is published every friday
17:38the day after
17:40each one of your meetings
17:46the events miss f writes about
17:50you often attended
17:53and your maiden name fitzherbert
17:55is i presume
17:56the basis for the nom de brume
17:59i thought i was being clever
18:03the column was my outlet
18:05a way to express myself
18:08you don't know what it was like being married to a man like gerald
18:12you probably guessed i didn't want to resign from the cpws
18:17he was punishing me
18:20because he found out
18:22he confronted me last night
18:24he was furious
18:28i had no choice but to admit to what i was really doing
18:34he said he'd telephone the newspaper the next day
18:37have them fire me
18:39that must have been calling
18:41yes
18:42but it doesn't mean i killed him
18:47the column was only a bit of fun
18:50i was working on a proper article not just gossip
18:55i was going to ignore gerald and get it published regardless
18:58but now he's dead
19:00and instead
19:02i'll hang for something i didn't do
19:05does this mean anything to you
19:09gerald was making recommendations for a promotion
19:11they're the initials of the officers he was considering
19:16do you think it means something
19:19i don't know
19:22will you help me father
19:25do you believe i didn't do this
19:28i do
19:32oh father ground
19:34violet's awake
19:41mrs goodfellow i am so pleased you are back with us
19:44it's an absolute miracle
19:46how are you feeling
19:48i've got a terrible headache but
19:50it sounds like i got off lightly
19:52what do you remember
19:54about yesterday evening
19:56the whole night is a bit hazy
19:59father i
20:01i remember inspector
20:03rendham making a fool of himself
20:06yes
20:07the superintendent took him for a lie down
20:10yeah i heard them talking when i went to get the cloth
20:13anything specific
20:14well just drunken rambling i suppose
20:17just sum up
20:18about submarines
20:20subs or um
20:22flowers
20:23and
20:24roses i think
20:26anything else anything unusual
20:28anything
20:29out of place
20:30there was papers scattered
20:32all over the floor in the superintendent's office
20:36and
20:38that's when i spotted him
20:40over by the desk
20:41hey hey
20:41it's all right love
20:43i
20:43walked in and everything went black and
20:48the next thing i remember i'm waking up here
20:50there were no papers on the floor when we found you
20:53there was a brown file on the desk
20:56so the killer tidied them up
20:59why
21:00i don't know
21:02but we need to see that file
21:04so you don't think mrs webber did it then father
21:06mrs webber is an intelligent and capable woman
21:10if she had wanted to kill her husband
21:12she would have done so when her home was not full of potential witnesses
21:16and police men
21:18she faces the gallows father there must be something you can do
21:23these initials are a list of officers superintendent webber was putting forward for promotion
21:29i know a few of these
21:31there's one set of initials missing
21:34mr
21:36michael rendon
21:37so he wasn't getting his big promotion after all
21:41maybe that's why he was so drunk
21:43he was disappointed
21:44oh from what i saw if anyone was upset it was angie not michael
21:48i suggest we talk to mr and mrs rendon
21:51at the charity auction
21:53after we've examined that file
21:56inspector sullivan's not gonna let you near the scene of the crime
21:58father
21:59well daniel can do it
22:00i'm not going anywhere
22:02you could still be in danger
22:04why i don't remember anything besides that nice young police officer still here
22:10well i could stay sergeant if that helps
22:15well i suppose so
22:16that's settled then
22:18off you go
22:19the auction's starting soon
22:25you do look very dapper

22:40and since you were so keen to help out
22:43now if you'll excuse me
22:45i think i see the chief constable
22:46i'm looking after him this evening
22:52i'm so sorry
22:53i did volunteer my services
22:55our first big event as husband and wife
22:57and i have to sit through it alone
23:00not entirely alone inspector
23:02i can keep you company
23:09well this is shaping up to be another funny evening
23:11excuse me inspector
23:16i'm gonna have a very small sherry
23:19father brown
23:20just fetching a drink for the chief constable and michael
23:23oh good idea
23:26i'm sure you're very keen that they get on well
23:31especially as i hear
23:34superintendent webber failed to recommend your husband for a promotion
23:39gerald promised us he'd put michael forward
23:41and then he suddenly changed his mind
23:43he could have ruined our entire career
23:45our career?
23:47behind every great man is his wife
23:49father
23:50indeed
23:52but superintendent webber was going to derail your plans
23:57and now he's dead
24:00you're not suggesting
24:01yes i was upset with him
24:04but it's the chief constable who actually appoints officers
24:08oh
24:10michael's gonna go far
24:12i'll make sure of that
24:16you know he never was a big drinker
24:18it's all terry lawson's fault
24:22carol lawson's late husband
24:24they were called to a bank robbery
24:26michael told terry to wait
24:28whilst they telephoned for orders
24:29and terry ran in
24:30gung-ho
24:31and got himself killed
24:33since then
24:34michael's been having nightmares
24:35drinking
24:36avoiding social functions
24:39i'm sure witnessing the death of a colleague
24:42must have been extremely unsettling
24:45i can't believe carol thinks terry should be awarded the queen's policemen
24:50for bravery
24:51she's been harassing gerald
24:53for months
24:55you know she wasn't even invited to the function last night
24:58she just showed up
25:00i mean talk about poor etiquette
25:04sorry father i must fetch those drinks
25:06we'll be starting soon
25:12so you've told isabel you've already finished the paperwork
25:15i panicked
25:16i promised her i could handle it
25:18i'm adding up numbers for baptism marriage and mass
25:21and i keep getting different results
25:24well
25:24i'm sure we could solve it together
25:28but
25:30if i help you with this
25:32i need you to help me with something in return
25:41i needed some air father
25:44the constant how are you coping
25:46get a little much sometimes
25:50i wasn't invited to the webbers last night
25:54joyce was worried if i was there i might cause a scene
25:59over your bid to have your late husband awarded the queen's police medal
26:04yes
26:06i just wanted to beg gerald one last time
26:09i assume the superintendent refused
26:12again i told him i said you think you think you're some expert on modern policing but you've no clue
26:23what it's like to be a real officer on the front line
26:27i imagine the superintendent didn't take kindly to that observation
26:32i didn't kill him
26:35i work with police widows every day i'd never willingly create another one
26:40besides joyce calmed me down
26:43she had a new way to give terry the recognition he deserves
26:49the article she was writing was about constable lawson
26:52i read it i read it later that evening she explains how terry was just trying to protect the public
26:58he wasn't reckless
27:00he wasn't reckless
27:01was a hero
27:04the enquirer won't publish it
27:06not now its author has been arrested for murder
27:11perhaps i could help
27:14the editor is a parishioner of mine
27:17he might listen to my request
27:20father could you
27:24enjoy the auction thank you
27:29Joyce Webber's article on Constable Lawson's death
27:32is extremely well written
27:35You missed Sergeant Goodfellow
27:37He dropped this off on his way back to the hospital
27:40Oh, is this the file Mrs. Goodfellow mentioned?
27:44Yes
27:45See?
27:47The sergeant thinks that blood could be the superintendent's
27:51The modern police force a feasibility study
27:54I had a look, but it's pretty dull stuff
27:58Just dates and costings from some new radio system Gerald was trialling
28:04It's a disaster
28:05The auctioneer isn't coming
28:06He heard about Gerald's death and assumed we'd cancelled
28:09Would you just start in five minutes?
28:11I could always do it
28:13I am accustomed to being on stage
28:15No, pushing yourself into the limelight like that
28:18It's not very becoming
28:20Besides, we don't want to abandon your post
28:23No, we need someone with authority and gravitas
28:28Oh
28:31Father
28:33People listen to you
28:35What?
28:36You're perfect
28:37I have every faith in you as our auctioneer

30:27Mrs. Sullivan
30:30I need another drink
30:32The next lot
30:33Is a
30:34Cotswold police badge
30:36Mounted and framed
30:38With the motto
30:40As a subscript
30:42Lex semper servanda
30:44It's Latin
30:55Where is he going?
30:57Mid auction
30:58Isabel
31:00You can take over
31:02Oh, no
31:03I don't want to cause
31:05Any embarrassment
31:06All right, don't be ridiculous
31:07You're perfect for the job
31:08Go on
31:27You're going to lecture me
31:29On the perils
31:29Of the demon drink
31:30Father
31:31It's a bit late
31:33Inspector Rendon
31:34How fortuitous
31:36No
31:37It's not my place
31:38To pass judgment
31:40Although last night
31:41You were inebriated
31:44Which is why
31:45When Mrs. Goodfellow
31:47Overheard you
31:48Talking about
31:48Submarines
31:49And roses
31:50She assumed
31:52It was drunken rambling
31:53Highly likely
31:56But it wasn't
31:57Was it?
31:58Because
31:59Subrosa
31:59In Latin
32:01Means
32:01In secret
32:02So
32:03A secret
32:04Between you
32:05And Superintendent
32:06Webber
32:07The lie
32:08That you were
32:09Unable to contact
32:10Police headquarters
32:11The day
32:12Terry Lawson
32:13Died
32:15I don't know
32:16What you're talking about
32:16Father
32:17I had no time
32:18To find a police box
32:19Before
32:20Terry stormed off
32:21Into the bank
32:23But you didn't need
32:25To find a police
32:27Telephone box
32:27Because according
32:29To this article
32:31That day you were
32:32Driving a Morris
32:33Isis
32:33And those particular
32:36Vehicles were
32:37Trialling
32:37The superintendent's
32:39New car radio
32:41Your call
32:42Would have gone
32:43Straight through
32:44To the operations room
32:46Yes I remember now
32:47I did try
32:49But they didn't pick up
32:50I doubt that
32:52Inspector Red
32:53Because according
32:55To these logs
32:56On that day
32:58Superintendent Webber
33:00Was in the operations room
33:02Supervising his new system
33:04Your call
33:05Would have gone
33:05Straight to him
33:08You're right
33:10It did
33:13Gerald told us
33:14Not to wait
33:15But to go
33:16Straight in
33:16He wanted to prove
33:18His new systems
33:18Could fight crime
33:19More efficiently
33:20So into the bank
33:21We went
33:24Terry was ahead of me
33:26Right in the line
33:27Of fire
33:28Later
33:29Gerald
33:29Pulled me aside
33:31He was panicking
33:32Told me to tell
33:33Everyone Terry
33:34Went rogue
33:35Said he'd
33:36Help me with my career
33:37I knew how desperate
33:38Angie was for me
33:39To be promoted
33:40But I've hated myself
33:43And Gerald
33:44Ever since
33:46Last night
33:46Last night in your
33:47Emotional state
33:49Did you fight
33:51With Superintendent Webber
33:52No
33:54When you saw me
33:55I could barely stand
33:56Besides I never
33:57Hurt someone like that
33:59Whenever I close my eyes
34:00All I can see is Terry
34:02Blood
34:04Inspector Rendon
34:05I urge you
34:07To tell the truth
34:08About what happened
34:09It would destroy my career
34:11My wife would leave me
34:14You ever told anyone else
34:16About this
34:16Michael
34:18Are you in there
34:19No
34:20Never
34:20Not even
34:22Sub Rosa
34:23Remember
34:25Michael
34:25The chief constable
34:26Is asking after you
34:27What are you doing in here
34:29As if I have to ask
34:30Here
34:31Drink this
34:36Drink
34:38Oh
34:39Of course
34:51And our final lot
34:54For this evening
34:55A Singer
34:56201k sewing machine
34:58How about that ladies
35:00Shall we start the bidding
35:01At £9
35:03Yes
35:04£9
35:05Oh
35:05Thank you Mrs Appleton
35:06Ten
35:08Did I mention
35:09The vertical rotary
35:10Maureen Appleton
35:11Better not win that
35:11Over me
35:12And the cordon footpeller
35:14Are a lovely match
35:14Shouldn't you be in hospital
35:16Sergeant Goodfellow
35:17Is on his way
35:18To visit you
35:19Oh
35:19Well
35:19I shan't stay long
35:20I just
35:21Need to win that sewing machine
35:24£11.10 shillings
35:27Violet
35:28You made it
35:30£11.10 shillings
35:32Going going gone
35:33Sold to Mrs Goodfellow
35:45Oh
35:46Father
35:49We've raised such a lot
35:51We might even be able
35:53To pay for another day trip
35:54As well as the holiday
35:55To Western Supermare
35:56That's marvellous news
35:57Mrs Lawson
35:59But you won't be going
36:00With them
36:02That is to say
36:03Not if you admit
36:05To what you did
36:06To Superintendent Weber
36:09Sorry
36:11You took
36:12A glass of water
36:14To Inspector Rendon
36:17He said he'd passed out
36:19But he was awake
36:20Wasn't he
36:22The glass was half empty
36:24In his turmoil
36:26Did he drunkenly confess
36:29What really happened
36:31At that bank robbery
36:32I don't know
36:33I don't know what
36:34You're talking about
36:34That your husband
36:36Was acting
36:37Under Superintendent Weber's
36:38Orders
36:40You must have been
36:41Terribly shocked
36:44Not shocked
36:47Angry
36:49I'd gone to ask Michael
36:51To support my
36:52Queen's police medal campaign
36:55But he started crying
36:57He told me about
36:58The radio in the car
37:00How Gerald demanded
37:01They go in
37:02I couldn't believe it
37:04I went to Gerald
37:07He didn't care
37:08You can't prove any of this
37:10Michael Rendon
37:11Is a feckless drunk
37:13Then I'll get proof
37:14There must be
37:15Something somewhere
37:16Logs and files
37:18Can be amended
37:18As easily as witness statements
37:20Mrs Lawson
37:21Your husband will never
37:22Get the Queen's police medal
37:23He'll always be regarded
37:24As a foolhardy idiot
37:25Who's rash actions
37:27Got him killed
37:37Hello
37:43Superintendent
37:43I didn't want to hit
37:46Poor Violet
37:47But I panicked
37:51God
37:59What Superintendent Weber
38:01Did was wrong
38:03But he did not give you
38:05The right to take his life
38:08He took my terry from me
38:10And then tried to ruin
38:12His reputation with lies
38:13He deserved to pay
38:15And what about
38:16Mrs Goodfellow
38:17And Mrs Weber
38:20In seeking revenge
38:22For your husband's death
38:23You took a life
38:25And then you put
38:26Two innocent lives
38:27In mortal danger
38:28I never meant to
38:30Father
38:32You can't imagine
38:33How relieved I am
38:35That Violet's all right
38:37And I never dreamt
38:38That Joyce would be blamed
38:40Then you must confess
38:43So you can be at peace
38:45And one day
38:46Be with your husband again
38:47If I can't
38:49They'll lock me up
38:50And throw away the key
38:52Or worse
38:53Which is exactly
38:54What will happen
38:55To Mrs Weber
38:57For your crime
39:00Constable Lawson
39:01Spent his life
39:02Upholding the law
39:04Not breaking it
39:07If he was here now
39:09What would he want you to do?
39:14Everyone has given
39:16So generously
39:17And here is the total amount
39:19Raised from
39:20Thank you
39:21Mrs Sullivan
39:25As de facto head
39:26Of the Cotswold Policemen's
39:28Wife Society
39:29It gives me great pleasure
39:31To announce
39:31That we have raised
39:34£151 and 10 shillings
39:43Now to tell us
39:44How the money will be spent
39:45Is Mrs Carol Lawson
39:52Thank you everyone
39:54The money raised
39:56Will be spent
39:57On a much needed holiday
39:58For the county's
39:59Police widows
40:00And orphans
40:06We all know
40:09What a dangerous job it is
40:12Being a police officer
40:16And at times
40:17It can be just as difficult
40:19Being a policeman's wife
40:22Never knowing
40:23What risky situations
40:24Our loved ones are facing
40:27But we also understand
40:29That that's what
40:30We signed up for
40:33Our role as wives
40:35Is to support the men we love
40:37No matter what
40:41My late husband Terry
40:44Always did his duty
40:46Right to the end
40:47He never questioned it
40:49He believed in
40:50Upholding the law
40:52So I want to make sure
40:54I honour his memory
40:56By doing the right thing
40:59No matter how difficult
41:00Or daunting it might be
41:03Because
41:05That's what he would
41:05Want me to do
41:10Thank you
41:12And goodbye
41:17Please make sure
41:18The holiday goes ahead
41:20Father
41:20Those women and children
41:22Deserve it
41:22I will
41:23Mrs Joseph
41:24Thank you
41:28Violet
41:28I'm
41:29I'm so so sorry
41:33Inspector Sullivan
41:34Can I speak to you
41:36For a minute
41:48I'll have to meet you
41:49At home
41:50I'm afraid
41:50I can't imagine
41:52What Carol must have
41:53Gone through
41:53Discovering the truth
41:57Terry Lawson
41:58Was just following orders
42:00It could have been us
42:15I reworked the articles
42:17To tell the full story
42:18I'm sure Carol will take real comfort from that
42:23And the byline is your own real name
42:25Yes, brother
42:26The Inquirer
42:28Has offered me a job
42:29As a staff reporter
42:31Congratulations
42:31Oh, talking of jobs
42:33Thank you so much
42:35For helping me
42:36With the parish returns
42:37I did have a little help
42:39I only helped you
42:40With the tallies
42:41And that
42:41You did the rest
42:42Impressive work
42:43Miss Palmer
42:43Well done
42:45So, what happened to Michael Rendon
42:47After he admitted he lied?
42:49He's been suspended
42:50Pending an internal investigation
42:52But it doesn't look good
42:53That's a shame
42:55I imagine
42:56I imagine it is
42:56Mrs. Rendon
42:58Who will feel it
42:58Most keenly
42:59Oh
43:00If she leaves
43:02The policeman's wife society
43:03You could take over
43:04Miss us
43:05Oh, no thank you
43:06Brenda
43:06Forget being
43:07The perfect policeman's wife
43:09I think the key
43:10To a successful marriage
43:12Is being supportive
43:13And honest
43:14With each other
43:14Well, it's worked for Daniel
43:16And I
43:16These past 25 years
43:17Hmm
43:20Isabel
43:21I know how disappointed
43:23You were
43:23That we didn't secure
43:24That wonderful figurine
43:26At the auction
43:27So, after visiting
43:28A lot of dealers
43:30And paying an extortionate amount
43:34I found this one
43:35For you instead
43:36Oh, Edgar
43:39I don't know what to say
43:53I don't know what to say
43:56Oh, Edgar
