00:09Ah, forgive me. I was only following orders.
00:13Some people don't deserve forgiveness.
00:27The ring stays in Camelford, Godfellow. You pay for this, Feathergill.
00:34And with the slaying of this thief, so began the Battle of Camelford!
00:43You forgot their codpieces, Tyrone.
00:46Thank you, Frank.
00:53I hope you're all right, Father.
00:56On the contrary, son, I'm rather confused, Father.
01:30Excuse me!
01:32Welcome to Camelford, Mr. Sullivan.
01:34Now, perhaps you'd like to sample the delights of our refreshment tent?
01:38I'd love to.
01:40Well, I thought we were meeting in London next month.
01:44No, I wanted to surprise you.
01:45Oh, lesson accomplished.
01:47Must be Edgar. My shock is greater than yours.
01:50You must be the luckiest priest in the country, Father, having my brilliant son here, keeping your village safe.
01:55Camelford is blessed.
01:56What say year we punish the Camelford tyrant and claim the ring for Hambleston?
02:01Yeah!
02:03My colleague, Sergeant Goodfellow, who's just learned he's a relation of Lord Godfellow.
02:08A distant one, I presume.
02:09Oh, now, where's this fiancée of yours?
02:11Oh, yes, um, she's right here.
02:14Isabel.
02:15Hello.
02:15This is my father.
02:18Gosh.
02:19Oh.
02:19Oh, don't worry.
02:20It's just a cushion.
02:22Oh, what a relief.
02:24Isabel, delighted to finally meet you.
02:27Me too, Mr. Sullivan.
02:29A noble woman.
02:30You've kept that quiet, Edgar.
02:32Lady Catherine Feathergill at your service.
02:35You carry it well, my dear.
02:43Oh, no.
02:44There you go.
02:48I will.
02:50Here we are.
02:51Right.
02:55Now, to my son, and this enchanting bride to be.
02:59But why?
03:00Because, Brenda, there were no female fighters in Tudor times.
03:03Sir?
03:04Did they shoot rubber arrows in Tudor times?
03:07Please put that sword back in the armoury.
03:09Father, jolly good scene earlier.
03:12Chief Inspector, we're ready for you.
03:14Oh, right.
03:15Um, Mr. Higgs.
03:16Our organiser.
03:18Hello.
03:19Longtime head of Kembleford Historical Society.
03:22And a very keen battle re-enactor.
03:24Who won't let me fight, just cos I'm a girl.
03:29And that is our good friend, Brenda.
03:31I can't fault her enthusiasm.
03:33I confess I'm not familiar with the Battle of Kembleford.
03:36Oh, it was a local dispute between two nobles which took place here,
03:40at Bellside Hall, when I realised this weekend was the 400th anniversary.
03:45I couldn't resist.
03:48Right.
03:49Time for battle.
03:50Right.
03:51Well, wish me luck.
03:52And me.
03:53Yes, good luck.
03:54Right.
03:55Good luck, dear.
04:01Remember, this is just a rehearsal,
04:03so please save your actual slaughtering for tomorrow.
04:11And forward!
04:18And must have breakthrough!
04:24So these two nobles are fighting over a ring?
04:27Not just any ring, Mr. Sullivan.
04:30In Alfred's ring.
04:31Ah, now I've heard of that.
04:33Mr. and Mrs. Derbyshire.
04:38Frank, as local history expert,
04:41I would have expected you to be helping with the battle.
04:45Our esteemed chairman doesn't like sharing credit.
04:49Oh.
04:50Or being challenged, Father.
04:52Tyrone wants this to be his day.
04:54So he's put me here, safely out of the way.
04:58It's not all bad news, though, Father.
05:02Progress on your adoption, Clarence Barrett.
05:05We have our first interview, don't we, Frank?
05:07Yeah.
05:07I'm just waiting to hear about a date.
05:10And he's excellent news.
05:12Dr. Manning!
05:13Welcome!
05:14Hold it there, please, everyone.
05:16Our special guest has arrived.
05:19Kembleford's greatest living historian,
05:22Dr. Alexander Manning!
05:24I don't believe it.
05:25Thank you, Mr. Eames, yes.
05:27Yes, I owe a lot to Kembleford.
05:29It was here that I first caught the history bug.
05:32Dr. Manning famously tracked down the Alfred Ring,
05:36now on display in the Royal History Museum.
05:38He has since written a book about his extraordinary quest,
05:43and he'll be doing a reading for us later.
05:46Grab a copy.
05:47Did you know Alexander Manning when he lived in Kembleford?
05:52We were in the same class as school.
05:55Let's just say we spurred each other on.
06:13As I said, this will be much more realistic tomorrow.
06:16Bring in Lady Feathergill!
06:26King Alfred's ring!
06:28He's Hambleston's!
06:29Yes!
06:31Hey, uh...
06:32Sorry about this, Mrs. Devine.
06:34Oh, he's quite all right, Sergeant.
06:41Hold on, what about my research showing Lady Feathergill escaped?
06:45Lady Feathergill was killed by Godfellow Frank,
06:47as Dr. Manning's wonderful new book spells out.
06:52Frank!
06:52No, I'm sorry, I've got to do this.
06:55Lord Feathergill or Godfellow, your swords, please.
06:57What are you doing?
06:59Now, I'm sure Dr. Manning would agree
07:01that the moves in that duel left a lot to be desired.
07:06Allow me to demonstrate.
07:08Right.
07:08Dr. Manning would also confirm
07:10that the most commonly used attack in 1555
07:13was not the slash,
07:15but the thrust.
07:40Anyway, hope that helps.
07:52Well, it's good to be back.
08:05And so, almost 700 years after King Alfred had the ring made for his beloved Ailswith,
08:12his descendant, Lord Feathergill, presented the ring to Lady Feathergill on their wedding day.
08:18So, what happened to the ring after the battle, Dr. Manning?
08:23Well, as I discovered, Godfellow was a gambler,
08:28and not a very good one either.
08:30He lost the ring in a card game, along with Bellside Hall itself.
08:38Oh, what could have been, eh, Sergeant?
08:40So, how did the ring spend the next 400 years?
08:46Well, the answer, my friends, you'll find in here.
08:51APPLAUSE
08:54Right, Dr. Manning will now be happy to sign copies of his book.
08:57Well, unknown historian,
09:00spends ten years hunting lost treasure,
09:02finally tracks it down to some Istanbul antiques market
09:05and achieves overnight fame.
09:07Of course, and an honorary position at Oxford.
09:09It's an incredible story.
09:11A tad more exciting than being a parish secretary, eh, Isabel?
09:14Oh, there's more adventure in my job than you may think, Mr. Sullivan.
09:19Really?
09:23Care for a dance, um, Isabel?
09:26Lovely.
09:42Whatever you said to Mr. Higgs earlier struck a nerve.
09:45I just told him to liven things up a bit.
09:48The special guests looked bored.
09:52Was Dr. Manning a history scholar when he was at school with you?
09:56Well, he was offered a place at Oxford,
09:59and then they found out he cheated in his high school certificate exams
10:03and withdrew the offer.
10:04Oh.
10:06Seems to have forgotten that now that he's famous there.
10:08Father Brown, I must say, I was surprised by your scene with Edgar earlier.
10:12He was never much into performing.
10:15I think Mrs. Devine may have had something to do with that.
10:18I heard the chief inspector only took on the role, so he got to kill Father Brown.
10:23And why would he be interested in that?
10:24Jealousy.
10:25Everyone knows Father Brown's a better detective than he is.
10:29You tread carefully, sir.
10:32You're insulting the Sullivan family name.
10:38Frank?
10:39There you are.
10:41What is it?
10:42The adoption agency called.
10:44Did you see their letter?
10:45Cecily.
10:46Tell me!
10:48Let's, um, excuse me, Father Brown.
10:52Did you get the letter?
10:53No.
10:54What have you done with it?
10:56I thought battle were tomorrow.
10:59Hopefully that was just a skirmish.
11:02Lady Palmer, may I have this dance?
11:30The third is playing for the lesson.
11:33Quite in the song.
11:35Oh, my God.
11:36You're welcome.
11:39Oh, my God.
11:42Oh, baby!
11:44Oh, my God.
11:45Oh, my God.
11:46Oh, my God.
11:48Oh, my God.
11:52Oh, my God.
11:59Hear that, you Humbleston heathens!
12:07For the round!
12:12I just feel it's beating the same, yeah.
12:18What's that?
12:20Come on.
12:23Well, given the rigor mortis, I'd say he was killed before midnight.
12:29I saw Mr Derbyshire leave the reenactment with his wife at 7pm.
12:36Thank you, Father.
12:38Well, naturally, he'll interview his wife, given her row with the victim.
12:41I wonder what he was doing back here.
12:44According to the weapons infantry, there's a sword missing, sir.
12:47Here.
12:48Ah, it will be the murder weapon. Good job, Sergeant.
12:50Well, someone's had his final battle.
12:54Father, um, what are you doing here?
12:57What's a detective, Edgar?
13:01What's, uh...
13:01Oh, yes, uh, Father, um...
13:05Father Brown was here to pray for the victim.
13:07He's now leaving.
13:09So, what have we got to go on?
13:11Yes, uh, five-hour window, missing a sword.
13:14And some very strange writing.
13:16I wonder if it's a code.
13:18What's...
13:19Our priest does very occasionally overstep his clerical brief.
13:23Um, of course, I don't let it impact our investigations.
13:26Chief Inspector?
13:28Not now, Father.
13:29Sergeant, could you...
13:30Yeah, uh, come along, Father.
13:31This way.
13:32Yeah.
13:33Okay.
13:34Could I have a word, Edgar?
13:36Uh, yes, sir.
13:39So, what's the plan, son?
13:41It's all very pleasant out here in the sticks, but nosy priest dressing up in frocks is hardly
13:46real policing, is it?
13:47We both know London's where the big promotions are, once, or...
13:53Yes, well, um, Father, my plan is to solve this murder.
14:01I'd say that counts as real policing.
14:05I'd start with a wife.
14:10No.
14:11This can't be happening.
14:14I'm very sorry for your loss, Mrs. Darnasher.
14:18Do, however, have to raise last night's argument.
14:24What?
14:26You seemed...
14:28angry with your husband.
14:31Well, yes.
14:33We missed an appointment with the adoption agency because Frank hid the letter.
14:39But then he explained why.
14:43You see, he still hadn't given up hope of us having a child of our own.
14:47Sir.
14:49Found it in the scullery.
14:52I didn't put that there.
14:54Mrs. Darnasher, I'm left with no option.
14:57I'm arresting you on suspicion.
14:59No!
14:59Murdered Frank Darnasher.
15:01You are not obliged to say anything, but anything you do say may be given in evidence.
15:06Please, this is all wrong.
15:17I didn't kill him, father.
15:19I believe you, Mrs. Darnasher.
15:22I know how devoted you were.
15:26But will they hang me?
15:28I will do everything in my power to prevent that happening.
15:34How could someone do this to Frank?
15:38I don't suppose you know why your husband went back to the reenactment last night?
15:44He made some breakthrough in his study.
15:49Said he needed to investigate at Bellside Hall.
15:54He seemed excited.
15:59Frank had two dreams.
16:01To have a family.
16:04And to leave his mark as a historian.
16:07Even asked Dr. Manning to look at his research papers at the party.
16:12Was he receptive?
16:16All he said was that...
16:19He'd recently learnt some history about Frank that he needed to discuss.
16:26Frank didn't know what he meant, but...
16:30I knew he was worried.
16:33Thank you, Mrs. Darnasher.
16:37Oh, father, I just want Frank.
16:44You're sure Cecily's telling the truth, father?
16:47I think someone is trying to frame her.
16:50And my first port of call will be Dr. Manning.
16:54Oh, well, I've just seen him heading towards St. Mary's.
16:58Thank you, Brenda.
17:00Very helpful.
17:02Oh, see if you can find a match for this.
17:06Judging by the height of the nail, I'd look at tunics rather than trousers.
17:10Well, keep our eyes peeled.
17:16A word, father, if I may.
17:18Of course.
17:20I advise you in the strongest possible terms to leave the detective work to my son.
17:26Ordinarily, I wouldn't think of interfering.
17:28But I am concerned that your son has arrested an innocent woman.
17:32That is a matter for a jury, not a priest.
17:35Well, there we will have to disagree.
17:38You, of course, disagreed with Mr. Darby C. yourself yesterday.
17:43The man insulted the Sullivan name.
17:45He deserved a bloody nose.
17:47Clearly the killer concurred.
17:49Whoever they are.
17:52You stay out of things that don't concern you.
18:01Dr. Manning.
18:03Oh, Father.
18:06Sorry, I was miles away.
18:07Just admiring your marvellous church.
18:10Is it ecclesiastical architecture that brings you to St. Mary's?
18:14Or the terrible news about Frank Darby's?
18:17Well, I can't lie.
18:20Medieval churches are the subject of my next book.
18:22And St. Mary's does have a terrific tower.
18:28Mrs. Darby's just said you'd found something in Frank's personal history
18:32that you wanted to discuss with him.
18:36Well, Cecily misunderstood.
18:38There was nothing in Frank's history.
18:41Just something I thought he'd be interested in.
18:46Am I right in saying that at school
18:48a fellow pupil reported you for cheating
18:51in your higher school certificate exams?
18:54Which action led to you losing your place at Oxford?
18:59That happened.
19:02Decades ago.
19:04Now, you are finally at Oxford.
19:07It must have been very tempting to find out who betrayed you.
19:11Was it Frank Darbyshire?
19:16Was that knowledge behind your return to Kembleford
19:18along with a craving for redress?
19:26You're right, Father.
19:27It was Frank who sold me down the river.
19:32But that early setback
19:34built the determination in me
19:35to get me where I am today.
19:37If anything, I owe Frank my gratitude.
19:40Not any misplaced hostility.
19:47Dr. Manning was clearly put out
19:49in Mr. Darbyshire's betrayal.
19:52But vengeful enough
19:53to risk his now-blooming reputation,
19:55I am not persuaded.
19:57Gentlemen,
19:58in honour of the late Mr. Darbyshire,
20:00I believe we should complete
20:02our re-enactment today.
20:03All those in favour?
20:05Aye.
20:06I concur.
20:07And I'd like to offer my services.
20:09That's kind offer, Mr. Sullivan.
20:11But...
20:12Well, see, I did help
20:13break up the battle of Caper Street
20:14and I do know the art of war by heart.
20:21The battle will take place at four.
20:23You lead on, Mr. Higgs.
20:24I'll mainly chip in as required.
20:27Fine.
20:27Right, better get me kitted out, then.
20:29Come on.
20:30Maybe Edgar takes after his mother.
20:34Hmm.
20:36We need to find out
20:37why Mr. Darbyshire was in the armoury.
20:41His wife said he'd made
20:42some sort of breakthrough
20:43in his study.
20:44Well, maybe.
20:45We should go and look there, then.
20:47And I'll carry on
20:48looking for a match for this.
20:55I just think
20:57it's unfair
20:58that I can't take part
20:59in the battle.
21:00Well,
21:01dare I say it,
21:03Mr. Higgs
21:03seems to be forgetting
21:04the most notorious
21:06female warrior.
21:08Oh, who?
21:11Oh, who?
21:21Oh, Sergeant.
21:22Sergeant.
21:23Yes, sir?
21:24Now,
21:24if
21:25my father
21:26asks about
21:27Father Brown,
21:27please,
21:28please play it down.
21:30The last thing
21:31I need right now
21:31is him sticking
21:32his nose in it as well.
21:33Yeah, by you, sir.
21:34Yeah.
21:35Demonstrations of Tudor weaving
21:36and cookery are about to begin.
21:38What, sir?
21:38And for all those
21:39of us to hear
21:40what today's military
21:41strategists
21:41learn from the Tudors,
21:43I shall be in the main tent.
21:45Father!
21:47What on earth
21:48are you doing?
21:48I'm even a fan.
21:49No, no, no, no,
21:50no, no, no.
21:51You're interfering.
21:52Not something.
21:53A low-key supporting role.
21:54You've clearly got
21:54the place under control.
21:56I'll bless you,
21:57Sergeant,
21:57if a Sullivan here
21:58is a boss.
21:59Oh, yes, sir.
22:00Most fortunate.
22:01Oh, and how lucky
22:03that woman is
22:03that one has a future husband.
22:07What's he up to?
22:08Uh, I suspect
22:10she's checking her costume.
22:16Joan of Arc,
22:18dressed as a man
22:19to lead the French
22:20against the English.
22:23She inspired a nation.
22:29Hey,
22:30what's that, Father?
22:33It's a lost record
22:35of the Battle of Kembleford
22:36and Mr. Derbyshire
22:38found in an old archive
22:39in Sirencester
22:40last month.
22:41I suspect this is
22:43the research
22:44that he showed
22:45to Mr. Higgs
22:46and Dr. Manning.
22:47Oh.
22:48Well,
22:49what's it say?
22:50It says
22:52that according
22:53to a servant,
22:55Lady Catherine
22:56Feathergill
22:56slipped away
22:57with the priest
22:58before Godfellow
22:59broke down
23:00the doors
23:00of Belsite Hall.
23:02Oh.
23:03So,
23:04she escaped?
23:06The same servant
23:08also claimed
23:09that Lady Catherine
23:10told Lord Feathergill
23:12that she would
23:13head to Lancaster.
23:15Well,
23:15that's miles away.
23:18Seems unlikely.
23:21but there is
23:22no record
23:23of Lady Catherine's
23:24body being found
23:25at Belsite Hall.
23:31What's all this
23:32gobbledy goop?
23:33That's the letters
23:34on the wall
23:35in the armoury.
23:36So,
23:36that's what Mr.
23:37Derbyshire
23:38was doing there.
23:39He was trying
23:40to crack the code.
23:41But why?
23:42I don't know.
23:45Also,
23:45it looks like
23:46someone else
23:47was helping him.
24:01Oh!
24:03Hello, Isabel.
24:04Mr. Sullivan.
24:05Looking for clues,
24:06are we?
24:07I am, actually.
24:10I'm looking
24:10for a match
24:11for this.
24:12Father Brown
24:13found it
24:13at the scene
24:14of the crime.
24:14Really?
24:15How exciting.
24:18I'd better go.
24:20Good luck.
24:21Edgar?
24:22Isabel?
24:24So,
24:24your fiancée's
24:25meddling too.
24:27Er,
24:28given that she
24:29works for Father Brown,
24:30she does find
24:31herself sometimes
24:32being roped in.
24:33Roped in?
24:34She's your future wife.
24:36Well, yes,
24:36I know that.
24:37A conflict of interest
24:37like this is career suicide.
24:38What are you going
24:39to do about it?
24:41I tried to help
24:42with this code
24:43last night.
24:44Frank said
24:45he'd found it
24:45earlier at Bellside Hall,
24:47thanks to
24:47Dr. Manning's book.
24:49Did you crack it?
24:51No.
24:53But Frank probably did.
24:55He loved
24:55this sort of puzzle.
24:59I keep trying
25:01to see a future
25:02without him,
25:03but
25:04what have I got now?
25:07maybe I should
25:08just confess.
25:09And then history
25:10would say that
25:11you murdered
25:11your husband,
25:12which is a lie.
25:15I'm determined
25:15to uncover the truth.
25:18Please do not
25:19give up hope.
25:21Thank you,
25:22Father.
25:29You're very pale.
25:31I'm going to
25:32request the doctor.
25:37Lancaster
25:38is closer
25:39than we think.
25:39Father?
25:41Mr. Darbyshire
25:41discovered
25:42yesterday
25:43in Dr. Manning's
25:44book
25:45that the
25:46Feathergills
25:46had a nickname
25:47for the armoury.
25:52Lancaster.
25:53Wait,
25:54so
25:54the armoury
25:56is Lancaster
25:57and that's
25:58where Lady Catherine
25:59hid from
25:59Lord Godfellow?
26:00Yes.
26:01So Mr. Darbyshire
26:02went there
26:03and found
26:04the code.
26:05I suspect
26:06he went back
26:07because he'd
26:08cracked it.
26:09And so
26:10must we.
26:12Ta-da!
26:13What do you think?
26:14I think
26:15you look
26:16every inch
26:17the warrior.
26:18But isn't Tyrone
26:19just going to
26:19stop you?
26:21Nor if he
26:22doesn't recognise
26:22me.
26:26Uh-oh.
26:27I'll see you
26:28outside.
26:29I'll see you
26:37Isabel.
26:39Isabel.
26:40Can we speak
26:41in private?
26:49My father
26:50is on the
26:51warpath.
26:52You must
26:52leave this
26:53case alone.
26:58I'm begging
26:59you.
27:01Please,
27:02for both
27:03hours'
27:03sakes.
27:04Yes,
27:05all right.
27:12Splendid
27:13costume,
27:13Mr. Higgs.
27:14Well,
27:15thank you,
27:16father.
27:18And judging
27:18by the patch
27:19on your tunic,
27:20you're an
27:20expert darner.
27:22Sorry,
27:22I don't...
27:25Found this.
27:27Snagged on a nail.
27:29Very close to
27:30Mr. Derbyshire's
27:30body.
27:32Whatever you
27:33think this
27:33proves,
27:34you're wrong.
27:35Last night,
27:36I came back
27:37here to try
27:38my costume
27:38on,
27:38and while I
27:39was here,
27:39I saw
27:40Frank go
27:40past on
27:41his way
27:41to the
27:41armoury,
27:42so I
27:43went to
27:43speak to
27:44him.
27:44About your
27:45duel?
27:45About what
27:46he told
27:46me during
27:47our duel.
27:48He said
27:49he was
27:50going to
27:51table a
27:52vote of
27:53no confidence
27:53in me at
27:54the next
27:55meeting of
27:55the History
27:56Society.
27:57I've run
27:57this society
27:58for ten
27:58years.
28:00But now,
28:01of course,
28:01Mr. Higgs,
28:02there will
28:03be no vote.
28:05What happened
28:06when you
28:06confronted
28:07Mr.
28:08Derbyshire?
28:09He told
28:10me to
28:10go away.
28:11He was
28:12busy doing
28:13real history.
28:14He said
28:14there would
28:15be a lot
28:15more of
28:15that when
28:16he was
28:17in charge.
28:18I expect
28:19that made
28:19you even
28:20angrier.
28:22Yes,
28:22it did.
28:25But I
28:26didn't kill
28:26him.
28:29Now,
28:31if you'll
28:32excuse me,
28:34I have a
28:34battle to
28:35oversee.
28:40nobility.
28:55What are you
28:56doing here?
28:56There's
28:57nobility
28:57who should
28:58be standing
28:58over there.
28:59Follow
28:59me.
29:02Who is
29:03this, by
29:04the way?
29:05William!
29:09Brenda.
29:10Step out,
29:11please.
29:11Oh, but
29:12Joan of Arc
29:13did it.
29:14Joan of Arc
29:15was a 15th
29:16century French
29:16woman.
29:17Come on.
29:18Mr. Higgs,
29:19I learnt from
29:20Mr. Derbyshire's
29:20research that a
29:22local woman,
29:22Emily Gardner,
29:23disguised herself
29:24as a man to
29:25take part in the
29:26Battle of
29:26Kembleford.
29:27In the light
29:28of that,
29:29perhaps you
29:30should allow
29:30Miss Palmer
29:30to fight.
29:31Honour and
29:33victory!
29:34Yes!
29:36Yes, well,
29:37all right.
29:40Front right,
29:41dressed to the
29:41right.
29:41Good luck, Brenda.
29:54We fight
29:56to the death!
30:19Father, wait!
30:22I'm sorry.
30:41Father.
30:43When Mr Higgs moved Miss Palmer in the line of battle, I had a brainwave.
30:48This is a Caesar cipher, so you move the letters of the alphabet in order to create the code.
30:53In this case, four places to the right.
30:55Brilliant.
30:56So V, that's R, N-E and S-W opens door C.
31:05Is that another code?
31:06So R is for Richard, Lord Feathergill, and C is for Catherine.
31:12So these are directions from Lady Feathergill to her husband.
31:16Good Lord.
31:17Well, of course, not all doors are in the wall.
31:31Oh, Mrs Devine.
31:34Do you see what I see?
31:41North East.
31:50South West.
31:51No, no.
31:54Yes, sir.
31:58No, no.
32:08No.
32:10No, no.
32:11No!
32:13No.
32:19No.
32:20No, no.
32:31to think lady catherine and her priest fled down this very passage 400 years ago there is no present
32:40or future only the past over and over again now book of revelation
32:50no eugene o'neill well let's just hope they got out of here alive
33:15we can't hold them sir
33:24we need lady feather girl for the climax chief inspector
33:30yes someone needs to go and get her
33:41maybe we need another code
33:45or maybe we could pull this
33:53oh
34:03look
34:04a baton
34:09this is saint mary's crypt
34:11is it
34:12this is the tomb
34:15of prior baskerville
34:20that passage must have been built in the reformation
34:27mrs devine
34:28what is it father
34:30looks like another message from lady catherine
34:33oh
34:33what does this one say
34:35four across
34:37six down
34:45it looks empty
34:50not quite
34:58it's a letter from lady catherine to her lord
35:03oh
35:04i see
35:16dr manning
35:19dr manning
35:20what the hell are you doing
35:23everyone's waiting we've a battle to finish
35:26which version of history will you be using dr manning
35:30yours forged in academic arrogance or the truth proved here yesterday by mr derbyshire
35:39i beg your pardon
35:40he followed lady catherine's trail
35:43and made an extraordinary discovery
35:45which exposed you
35:47as a fraud
35:48for which unfortunately he had to be silenced
35:53well that's an interesting theory father
35:55but sadly as with history you need solid evidence
35:58well
35:59i predict that chief inspector sullivan will find a treasure in your possessions
36:07oh
36:09mrs devine found your button
36:13the one you left here last night
36:15that you came back to st mary's to look for
36:22that fool should have stayed away from my story
36:30i read frank's research last night
36:35his reference to lancaster
36:36piqued my curiosity
36:39but he beat me to it
36:44i knew right away it was king alfred's ring
36:57once a cheat always a cheat
37:00hey alex
37:00i'm just the storyteller frank
37:02and that's all history is really isn't it
37:05just tales where you pretend to the truth
37:07you're wrong
37:09real history
37:10sorts the truth from lies
37:13but maybe we can just
37:15come to some arrangement
37:16now
37:16i'm showing this
37:19to the world
37:35damn it
37:37damn it
37:57please
37:58please
37:58please
38:15then you framed mrs derbyshire we all saw them arguing i saw an opportunity
38:24how callous do you really think i would let that amateur throw away everything i've worked so hard
38:31for well in my view dr manning your only significant achievement was to employ the
38:41services of a first-rate forger i'm sorry father but this history is mine
38:57saved by the cushion
39:21silly man thank you
39:31what in the devil
39:41those will now need to be filed under fiction
39:46so what does sullivan's dad say nothing he just stormed off that's fine
39:55father mrs derbyshire i am glad to see you
39:59thank you father for everything how are you feeling
40:03i found it it was in dr manning's bag
40:08it's beautiful
40:10it's frank's legacy
40:12your husband's name will be forever linked with this ring
40:16frank got his other wish too
40:19the doctor just told me
40:20that is wonderful news congratulations i am sure that frank is sharing in your joy
40:30it's both right

41:00My lady, we must go.
41:06Again?
41:11The ring, Feathergill.
41:13You'll need to kill me first, Godfella!
41:28My love, if you are reading this, then you are safe.
41:33My heart rejoices.
41:37Father Graham is taking me to St Agnes.
41:40My journey will be dangerous, so I will leave our precious jewel in this sacred place.
41:47Hurry, that you may be with me when our child is born.
41:53Yours ever.
41:57Katherine.
41:58Now where's that ring?
42:05Why wasn't history like that at school?
42:09I just pray she made it to St Agnes and had her child.
42:16Frank would have approved.
42:18He would have been thrilled.
42:20Cecily.
42:22I'm sorry.
42:24Frank was right.
42:25About everything.
42:26Which is why I'm going to resign.
42:29Frank loved detail, but even he couldn't have organised an event this well.
42:34I think you should stay.
42:37Really?
42:40Edgar.
42:41I have to go.
42:42Oh, really, why?
42:44Your mother will be missing me dreadfully.
42:47Isabel, it's been marvellous getting to know you.
42:50You too, Mr Sullivan.
42:51Can I have a quick word before I go?
42:53Yes, of course.
42:56Your fiancé must stop working for that interfering priest.
43:04I can't make her.
43:05You'll have to.
43:06Or I can't give your marriage my blessing.
43:09Missed.
43:10Thanks so much.
43:18Anything else has changed.
43:19Thanks Aucen.7
