TVTranscript
00:11I honestly have no idea why Teddy wants to meet.
00:15Well, perhaps given your new position of authority,
00:19he wishes to extend an olive branch, president to president.
00:24Espionage is more likely.
00:26To find out what the player's summer show is.
00:28Not that I've managed to decide what it is yet.
00:31All in good time, Mrs Divine.
00:34Why here?
00:36Between us, Father,
00:38I've heard that the Hambleston Amateur Dramatic Society...
00:41Hads?
00:42..is withering on the vine ever since Teddy took over some...
00:47Emerald!
00:48Nice to see you here.
00:50Oh, I am so glad to see you both.
00:53I don't suppose you happen to know.
00:55Best to hear it direct from the horse's mouth.
00:58Hmph.
01:04Surely this can't be for hats.
01:07Not just for hats, I know.
01:12Isabelle.
01:14Simply divine to see you.
01:18And Father.
01:22Emerald.
01:22Teddy.
01:23Welcome to Kembalston Manor.
01:27Kembalston?
01:28It's time to unite, Isabelle.
01:31Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat this.
01:34Hads is in a bit of a pickle.
01:36Most of the cast have departed.
01:39Amicably, this is the most ambitious production I've ever directed.
01:44We open at the end of the month, so needs must.
01:48Will you join us?
01:50Well, to perform in an actual theatre would be thrilling.
01:54What is the play, if you don't mind my asking?
01:57Oh, I think you'll approve, Father.
02:00Life imitating art and all that.
02:01Now, behold, the most perfect murder.
02:05Father, Hambleston's answer to the mousetrap.
02:07A worldwide premiere.
02:09Written by a priest, I see.
02:11Who's a big fan of yours, actually.
02:14You didn't tell me he was coming.
02:17It's you.
02:22It's literally you.
02:25Yes, it is.
02:27Father, may I present Hambleston's new priest, Father Lindsay?
02:33This is the most exquisite moment of my entire life.
02:40Oh!
02:41Is he dead?
02:44No, he just fainted.
02:46Oh, splendid.
02:47So, Isabel, what say you?
02:50Are you ready to make some magic?
02:52OK, I'll be right back.
03:30Might I just apologise again for yesterday?
03:33It's just, you are something of an inspiration to me.
03:38Just one question.
03:40We know who done it, but not as yet how done it.
03:44The play seems to be missing an ending.
03:47Ah, therein lies the rub.
03:50I haven't quite figured it out yet.
03:51Shouldn't you have done that before you started writing it?
03:55Welcome all.
03:58And may I introduce the genius behind our remarkable sets.
04:04Herman Jolly, the Campbellford Players.
04:08They're going to ruin all my good work, aren't they?
04:12Oh, nice to meet you too.
04:16Teddy, the cost of hiring the Royal Theatre.
04:20Sir, we are amateurs.
04:22A dirty word, which I am removing from Hads.
04:26Behold.
04:28Hoods.
04:30Amateurs are the lifeblood of this company, which was founded to enrich local lives.
04:35Like poor Sandy.
04:37Yeah.
04:38This production is too much.
04:40If you don't like it, do you know where the door is?
04:43Perhaps as founder of Hads, you could show Emerald some respect.
04:46One of our backstage stalwarts, Bonnie Codling, who'd do well to stop her prattling.
04:53And you wonder why we're hemorrhaging members.
04:55May I suggest we proceed with the auditions?
05:00We open in three weeks.
05:03Good morning.
05:04Thank you for your moral support, Edgar.
05:07Yeah, perhaps you could even audition, sir.
05:10I think not.
05:12Yeah, I don't think I'm going to bother either.
05:14Have you read the part of Tabitha?
05:16She dances the Charleston.
05:18Oh, I do love the Charleston.
05:20Oh, you should definitely audition.
05:23Might I suggest you audition too, Father?
05:26Or perhaps a backstage role.
05:28The priest was written with you in mind.
05:32No acting required.
05:37Guided by God, I have surmised that someone here must be responsible.
05:44But how I hear you ask, when everyone was together during that fateful shot,
05:51it is, quite simply, the most perfect murder.
05:59Bravo, Father.
06:01Father, he is awfully good, isn't he?
06:06To play my wife, Lady Ursula Etherington, Mrs. Devine.
06:13Well deserved.
06:14And our daughter, the socialite, Tabitha, shall be played by Brenda.
06:19There wasn't much competition.
06:22Don't you dare sell yourself short.
06:24You were wonderful.
06:25Sergeant Goodfellow, you will be Inspector Crabtree.
06:28Ah, marvellous.
06:29At least he finally gets the job.
06:34Yes, you'll be Horace, victim of the dastardly murder.
06:39Oh, only one small scene.
06:40No, no, there is another one.
06:42There's a corpse.
06:43Even you can manage that, Father.
06:45And the part of Father Green goes to Chief Inspector Sullivan.
06:52I didn't audition.
06:54It's just that we're in need of one more male.
06:58And everyone knows what a marvellous Benedict you were.
07:02So...
07:03No, absolutely not.
07:05Edgar, this has to be a success.
07:07And there's no-one else.
07:10He'll do it.
07:11Splendid.
07:12Now, as well as playing Fanny Tinkle, our frumpy maid...
07:18No acting required.
07:19Emerald will be in charge of costumes and Bonnie will be assisting with make-up and also assisting with set
07:26construction.
07:27No, no, no, no.
07:29I'll take anyone else.
07:30Do you see what he's like?
07:31Yeah, please, please, everyone.
07:34The only way this play is going to be the success it deserves to be is if we all unite.
07:42Then I need to know how the play ends.
07:45How did the murder happen?
07:49Crumbs, that's the problem with an impossible murder.
07:52I've written myself into something of a corner.
07:55Perhaps I could assist.
07:56Thank you, Father, but this is my problem alone.
07:59It'll come to me.
08:02In good time, I hope, Father.
08:04The clock, as they say, is ticking.
08:06The clock, as they say, is ticking.
08:09The clock, as they say, is ticking.
08:23The clock, as they say is ticking.
08:47I've laid my reputation on this, Father.
08:50If it doesn't go well, I'll be deposed.
08:52I'm sure everything will be quite...
08:56Oh, gosh!
08:59It's magnificent.
09:01At least my work will be admired.
09:04Could you?
09:04For once, stop being such a braggart.
09:08And I need a word with you later.
09:11Happy birthday, Emerald, from all of us here.
09:15Oh, thank you.
09:17That is so thoughtful of you all.
09:21Priorities, people.
09:23We open in two days.
09:26Everything all right?
09:29I've done it!
09:31I've actually done it.
09:35A rush of inspiration from the Lord himself.
09:39Who knew this murder lark could be such jolly good fun?
09:44Ingenious!
09:45Well done, Father.
09:47Oh, nobody will see that coming.
09:50How did you...
09:52...come up with this?
09:54Oh, it just sort of popped into my head.
09:56Sometimes I do astound myself.
09:58I've never read such far-fetched tripe in all my life.
10:05Oh.
10:07Perhaps I should stick to my day job.
10:09I think it's splendid, Father.
10:12This really is going to be a seminal production.
10:20It's a simply...
10:22Simply...
10:24Simply...
10:24Beastly...
10:26Beastly business.
10:28One would rather be miserable on the back of a roll
10:31than happy on a bicycle.
10:33Well, how did you find out?
10:35I overheard him.
10:37Right here.
10:38From the hidey-hole.
10:41The what?
10:42Honestly, Mummy.
10:43You can be so oblivious sometimes.
10:47Oh.
10:48Oh, thank goodness sake.
10:51Where's Herman?
10:52I haven't seen him all day.
10:54Isn't that his jacket?
10:56Yeah.
10:57Will somebody please find Herman?
11:06I trust this is some kind of a joke.
11:14I'm afraid not, Mr. Sedgwick.
11:18He's dead.
11:32You sure you're all right?
11:34Yes.
11:35Thank you, Father.
11:36I'm just not a huge fan of dead bodies.
11:39Then perhaps it's best you both leave me to it.
11:42Note the blunt trauma wound to the back of the head.
11:47And judging by the rigor mortis, he's been dead.
11:50I'd say for at least six hours.
11:52Yes, I can make my own deductions.
12:06Father, would you mind not tampering with the ceiling of crime, please?
12:09Apologies, Chief Inspector.
12:11Now, if you would both kindly...
12:13I trust you will let us know the outcome of the pathologist's report?
12:16Good fellow.
12:17Come now, fathers.
12:19Let us do our job.
12:20Of course, Sergeant.
12:23A thousand apologies.
12:35Perhaps it is for the best.
12:37I don't mean because he's dead.
12:39God rest his soul.
12:41I mean, we don't have to go through with this troubled production.
12:45Fiddlesticks!
12:47We must honour Herman's work and memory by forging ahead.
12:52It's what he would have wanted.
12:54Aren't you forgetting that Herman was also our stage manager?
12:57Not for a second, Bonnie, which is why I'm promoting you to the position.
13:03I'll do my best.
13:04As soon as the police are done, we get back to work.
13:08We open tomorrow.
13:24You didn't remove police evidence, did you?
13:26God forgive me.
13:28I thought it rather more important that you saw it.
13:34Intriguing.
13:35I have invited us all here tonight to unite the family.
13:43But now, the family, and indeed my heart, have been torn apart.
13:52Like an old copy of the Hambleston Gazette.
13:58Perhaps ripped rather than torn?
14:00What do we all think?
14:01I think you should shut your trap and get off stage!
14:04Sorry, everyone.
14:04Sorry.
14:05Can we please just get on with it?
14:08Bonnie!
14:10Ding dong!
14:14I wonder who that could be.
14:18Daddy!
14:19The inspector's here.
14:22Then show him in.
14:23Well, he's not actually here.
14:27I could stand in.
14:28Good grief, no.
14:30Where is Sergeant Goodfellow?
14:32I'm in the middle of a murder investigation at the moment.
14:36Who is the last person to use this?
14:39I found a spot of blood on it.
14:41Luminol has revealed much more.
14:43Despite an attempt made to wipe the spanner clean,
14:46we were able to locate a fingerprint.
14:47So, now I need fingerprints from all of you.
14:51We are in the middle of a dress rehearsal.
14:55Albeit without any dress.
14:56Could this not wait?
14:58It's my spanner.
15:01But I didn't hit him.
15:02Although you were at each other's throats on a daily basis.
15:06Bonnie Codling, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Herman Jolly.
15:10You are not obliged to say anything,
15:11but anything you do seem may be given in evidence.
15:16Could things get any worse?
15:22The Chief Inspector thinks I went back to the theatre last night,
15:26killed Herman, then locked up.
15:28But I'm not the only one with keys.
15:31Who else?
15:32Just Teddy.
15:34And Emerald, I think.
15:37How long have things been fractious between you and Mr Jolly?
15:41Only three years.
15:43Ever since I moved from Oxford.
15:46I suppose he reminded me of my father.
15:48In what way?
15:49He was a sadist and a bully, too.
15:53It was almost a blessing when he disowned me.
15:55For any particular reason?
15:59Giving in to sin.
16:01I see.
16:05This was found in Mr Jolly's pocket.
16:09It costed materials.
16:11But it couldn't have cost this much.
16:14Well, Teddy would have been furious.
16:17Indeed.
16:19Thank you, Miss Codling.
16:22Very helpful.
16:25What's going to happen with the play?
16:29Well, important as that is,
16:33you are my main priority and I will do all I can.
16:41Oh, I've suddenly come all a-quiver.
16:44But why, my love?
16:46Tell me.
16:48Tell me that Bonnie's release is imminent.
16:53Miss Codling is still under arrest, I'm afraid.
16:56Perhaps I could step in the stage manager.
16:59Oh.
17:00I suppose beggars can't be choosers.
17:03Right.
17:04Let's pick it up, everybody.
17:06Can't you feel it?
17:08A chill tearing through the house.
17:11Almost as if the ghost of Horace
17:13was trying to tell us something.
17:16Cue howling wind.
17:20Howling wind.
17:21Hello.
17:24Howling wind.
17:27Um, I'm a bit tied up at the moment.
17:31I give up.
17:37Knock, knock.
17:38Go away.
17:41I'm afraid this won't wait, Mr Sadwick.
17:46You knew what Herman Jolly was up to.
17:50I trusted him.
17:52Then he cleaned out the society account.
17:55£2,000.
17:59How did this society come by such a large amount of money?
18:03I sold my butcher shop.
18:06That money was my nest egg.
18:08And I put it all in one basket.
18:11You confronted him on the day he died?
18:14Yes.
18:14And he grovelled.
18:17Do you honestly believe that I'd do anything to jeopardise this production?
18:24No.
18:26I don't, Mr Sadwick.
18:28All my life, I've dreamed of treading the boards as a pro.
18:34But I've never had the guts.
18:39I'm not getting any younger and this is my last chance.
18:45I've managed to lure an agent down from London to see the opening night.
18:52He's not going to come to just any amateur production.
18:56So you see, Father, if this play fails, so do all my dreams.
19:02Then perhaps, Mr Sadwick, you should proceed with rehearsals.
19:08I understand the costumes have arrived.
19:11Have they?
19:13Oh, well then, Father, perhaps the day is not lost.
19:26Yes.
19:28Yes, I think that'll do.
19:30Very nicely.
19:32Well done, Emerald.
19:33What shall you find out, then, Father?
19:35Next!
19:35I don't think our director would risk jeopardising his own play.
19:39However, I do suspect him of having quite a nasty temper.
19:43Oh, dear.
19:45What about Emerald?
19:47Emerald.
19:47I saw the way that Herman looked at her when she opened that birthday card.
19:52Which upset her greatly.
20:01Suits you, Edgar!
20:05Uh, sir.
20:13Be very careful what you say, Sergeant.
20:16Sorry, sir.
20:17There is, um, something you might want to hear, sir.
20:21In private.
20:27I know exactly what you're looking for, Father.
20:29I have great minds.
20:31I could do with some help.
20:34Oh, dear.
20:36Hold it with for me.
20:41Ah-ha.
20:45Ah-ha.
20:47We do make a good team.
20:50A very happy birthday.
20:52Love from Sandy.
20:54Oh, who is Sandy?
20:56Indeed.
20:58However, same handwriting.
21:03Bingo.
21:07Oh!
21:09Well?
21:11What do you think?
21:13I think you both look splendid.
21:15Seconded.
21:16Emerald, you have surpassed yourself.
21:19Let us just make it the best it can be, shall we?
21:25Mrs. Baptiste, may I have a word?
21:28Yes.
21:29I'm afraid that'll have to wait, Father.
21:31We have some good news and some bad news.
21:34Oh, for pity's sake, man.
21:36I need some good news.
21:40Ah, Miss Codling will be released this evening.
21:44Praise the Lord.
21:46The day is saved.
21:48And the bad news?
21:49The fingerprint we found on the spanner was yours, Mrs. Baptiste.
21:56There's no doubt.
21:59Emerald?
22:01I'm sorry for ruining everything.
22:05But why?
22:08Can we go now?
22:11This is a living nightmare.
22:15How am I supposed to cope?
22:18Without my fanny chinkle?
22:21Teddy, all is not lost.
22:23I have an idea.
22:27I think you're mad.
22:29We're open tonight.
22:30What other choice do we have?
22:32I know all the lines.
22:34And thankfully, Ursula is only on stage for the maid once.
22:38Right.
22:39And how are you going to make that work, then?
22:41I'm sure Mrs. Devine has an elegant solution.
22:43Thank you, Father.
22:45This play has to be a success.
22:48Or I'll be the shortest serving president in history.
22:52Besides which, I want to do my best for Father Lindsay.
22:55I thought he worked murder.
22:57Brenda.
22:58What?
22:59He had a key and all.
23:00Saw him lock up with it last night.
23:02Don't be so ridiculous.
23:05Although...
23:05Why on earth would Emerald do such a thing?
23:11Father?
23:13That, ladies, is what I intend to find out.
23:17I'll see you both at the theatre later.
23:29Am I going to hang, Father?
23:32I very much hope not.
23:36Father Lindsay, may I?
23:43Did you attack Mr. Jolly because of this?
23:48Who is Sandy?
23:51Sandy's dead father.
23:54He was barely a man when he came to Hampelston.
23:58An orphan who lived in the abandoned barn and chipping where.
24:03Oh, my skinny little boy.
24:07Who needed me as much as I needed him.
24:11Did you lose someone?
24:14My son and husband.
24:19In the last war, before I came here on the windrush.
24:23I'm so sorry.
24:25Hads gave Sandy a purpose.
24:29Bonnie and I used to take turns to cook for him and I even found him a job.
24:36Delivering for Teddy.
24:39Things were getting better.
24:42May we ask how he died?
24:45Last year, during a Hads meeting, we all heard a gunshot.
24:50Teddy, Bonnie, Herman and I, we left the pub and we went to check on Sunday in his barn.
24:55And then there he was, on the ground, still warm.
25:02Oh, he was gone and the murder just vanished into the night, never to be found.
25:10Oh.
25:13Father?
25:15Would you excuse me?
25:17Not feeling too tickety-boo?
25:24I take it you realised who sent this.
25:31Why torment you?
25:34I went to ask him and...
25:39He said, I should leave Hads or I might end up like Sandy.
25:46He said he knew who murdered him and he was glad Sandy was dead and I don't know why.
25:53He just kept laughing and laughing and...
25:57And I saw red.
26:00And before I knew it...
26:09And then you closed the compartment?
26:13No.
26:14It must have closed itself.
26:17Believe me, Father.
26:19I was going to tell the police after the plea ended.
26:22I'd never let Bonnie take the blame for my crimes.
26:25Well, you see, that's it, Mrs. Baptiste.
26:29I'm not entirely sure it was your crime.
26:44I'm afraid, Father.
26:47Everything that's happened, it's all my fault.
26:52Oh, dear.
26:55But where the devil is Father Brown?
26:58He'll be here any second.
27:00Father will not let you down.
27:02He'd better not.
27:03Everybody, tonight needs to go perfectly.
27:09I thought Sandy's death sounded familiar.
27:12My research for the play, subconsciously, I must have integrated it.
27:17Inadvertently solving how-done it on your final page.
27:21Consider the hooks on the wall and the trajectory of the bullet.
27:26Mr. Jolly's reaction now makes perfect sense.
27:29At least it wasn't the quality of my writing.
27:32Herman Jolly killed Sandy with a pre-set mechanism.
27:36The perfect murder, indeed.
27:37Well done, Father.
27:39I'm not feeling especially pride at the moment.
27:42My play may be exceptional, but a man is dead and Mrs. Baptiste is facing the noose.
27:46No.
27:48Someone else is responsible.
27:49When Herman Jolly's body was discovered, the door to the compartment was jammed.
27:56And there was this.
28:01Stage make-up.
28:05Grease paint was used to seal the air vent.
28:09So Herman Jolly asphyxiated after the assault.
28:14But why?
28:18Oh dear.
28:20Certainly he was from Oxford.
28:27Crumbs.
28:28The play.
28:34Apologies, apologies.
28:35Oh my God, man.
28:37Are you trying to give me a heart attack?
28:38Daddy.
28:39Shh.
28:39I'm calm, remember.
28:41Yes.
28:42Yes.
28:42Calm, everyone.
28:44Taiho!
28:46And break a leg.
28:48Metaphorically speaking.
29:04I would like, if I may, to present to you the story of a most diabolical family.
29:11And indeed, the most perfect murder.
29:17I know full well why you have invited me here this evening.
29:24Pounds, shillings and pence.
29:26That's all I am to you lot.
29:29Dear brother, no.
29:31No, Uncle.
29:33You mean the world to us.
29:35Horace, I love you.
29:37Oh!
29:39Purely as a brother-in-law.
29:41I'm quite sure your considerable wealth is immaterial to the family.
29:46In that case, none of you will ever see a penny of my money ever again.
29:58It's all going so well.
30:12Horace, Horace, are you...
30:16My dear, dear brother.
30:19But where is the murderer?
30:21How could they disappear into thin air?
30:24This all made sense to you, didn't it?
30:27When you read the final page.
30:28I'm sorry?
30:30Hassan, he died.
30:36Oh, to think that my uncle will never move another muscle-age!
30:41Again!
30:47I really wish that you hadn't said anything.
30:53You will have to stage manage now.
30:56Have faith, Father.
30:57There's an old coffin of the past.
31:00Me?
31:02Oh, dear.
31:13Where's Mrs Tinkle?
31:14That maid of yours.
31:16I could murder a cup of tea.
31:20Perhaps, dear wife, you could go and get Fanny.
31:27Oh, yes.
31:28I shall do exactly that.
31:40Tea for the inspector.
31:43Have a biscuit and all.
31:45Have a biscuit.
31:59But that maid of mine...
32:09Oh.
32:31Hello, Bonnie.
32:34I have to go now, Father.
32:36Of course.
32:37But first, you had to come and say goodbye to your son.
32:44Well then, Father, I know you're itching to tell me what's what.
32:47Yes, pray tell.
32:51Guided by God, I have surmised that someone here must be responsible.
32:59But how I hear...
33:02When everyone was together during that famous...
33:06It's quite simply the most...
33:13Where's Father Brown?
33:14He made me look more of a fool than I already feel.
33:17Edgar, I've no idea.
33:19We're going to kill him.
33:20And Bonnie.
33:22And you.
33:26Yesterday, you talked about giving in to sin.
33:34Was Sandy taken from you as a baby?
33:38I assume three years ago, you heard he'd come to Humbleston.
33:42So you followed him here from Oxford.
33:46And joined Hads to get to know your son.
33:51Life of children's homes.
33:53And then he ran away.
33:56What chance did he have, Father?
33:59He had no one.
34:01He had you.
34:02And Mrs. Baptiste.
34:05Until Mr. Jolly intervened.
34:07For what reason, I'm not quite sure.
34:10When I saw his reaction...
34:13To the mechanism on the final page...
34:16I came back here.
34:18Saw the hooks.
34:19And found where the gun was.
34:22I knew he'd killed my boy.
34:34When I confronted Herman, he was already in a bad way.
34:38He didn't even deny it.
34:41What's it to you, anyway?
34:43He was my son.
34:47He was a little sneak.
34:49That's what he was.
34:50What?
34:50Spying on me.
34:52Saw my hand in the till at Teddy's.
34:54He was going to grass.
34:57You killed him for that.
34:59He deserved everything he got.
35:02And guess who I told Teddy the thief was?
35:08It appears I need a doctor.
35:10Chop-chop, woman.
35:13What are you doing?
35:15Let me out!
35:17What's the next door?
35:18What are you doing?
35:24I take it that you remove the grease paint in the morning?
35:27Try to.
35:30I just knew my boy wasn't a thief.
35:33Did Sandy know who you were?
35:36Did Sandy know who you were?
35:36No.
35:38Because I'm ashamed, father, of what I let happen to me.
35:43I'd never told anyone he was my son.
35:46And because of my cowardice, he never knew he was loved.
35:52I think he did.
35:55Very much loved.
36:00At least now I have justice for my boy.
36:03But what will I do now, father?
36:07When you have to repent of this murder, go to the police and confess.
36:11I'm not sorry that man is dead.
36:15I can never repent for what I've done.
36:19I can never repent for what I've done.
36:19If you want to be truly at peace and to see Sandy again one day, it is exactly what you
36:28must do.
36:37My darling girl, why are you wearing that?
36:41Because I've realised, haven't I, that Uncle Horace was a bachelor.
36:48So who is most likely to inherit his spondulics?
36:51Oh, well, he didn't much care for you.
36:59Are you quite sure about that?
37:02Oh, thank you to keep your opinions to yourself, bunny.
37:06Me, mummy?
37:08I'm going to be rich, richer than my wildest dreams.
37:32Behold, I have recreated the most perfect murder.
37:39This is never going to work.
37:42Inspector, please, if you will.
37:44Here we go, father.
37:53And where did I get the gun from?
37:58Your study, Lord Etherington.
38:03I was framed.
38:05I think not.
38:08You were the one who invited everyone here this evening.
38:11You've been on your uppers for some time.
38:14Your only option was to kill your brother for your inheritance.
38:18Providing yourself with the most perfect alibi.
38:23Myself.
38:24But you did not count on my God-given detection prowess.
38:30All right, yes.
38:31I admit it.
38:34Just spare my family.
38:36I acted alone.
38:39Must be nice for him to get it right for once.
38:42And now you must repent for the sake of your immortal soul.
38:48And that, ladies and gentlemen,
38:51concludes this evening's most imperfect murder.
38:56Murder.
39:11Oh, my.
39:14They love me.
39:16Oh, my.
39:31my whole life is about to change forever there was an agent out there tonight oh we must invite
39:40him backstage immediately i'm afraid he's just left oh what did he say he said the play was a
39:47hoot a new genre of comedy murder mystery it wasn't meant to be a comedy what did he say about
39:55me
39:56he said your performance was tragically yes comic
40:15could i propose a toast to sandy to sandy who i'd like you all to know was my son
40:34and i have to go now where chief inspector can i have a word certainly
40:52look who i found

41:06the show except we're sold out every night this week what the show is a hit teddy word of mouth
41:17apparently although how we could recreate that performance i'll never know
41:23so they're coming to laugh at me well you must have been very entertaining
41:29maybe that's enough
41:32maybe
41:36will you take it back
41:39hads
41:39only if we can work together this time
41:47oh well that's just lovely although you and i will be going our separate ways won't we
41:54with the greatest of pleasure mrs divine and my sincere thanks
42:12bless me father for i have sinned it has been three days since my last confession
42:17since then i have been instrumental in one murder and an unfortunate incarceration
42:23i feel quite wretched
42:25you are not responsible
42:27you shone light onto a distressing mystery
42:31and it was solved
42:34that is kind of you to say
42:37but these past few days have made me realize that
42:39murder is never to be taken lightly
42:44an important lesson
42:48they say never meet your heroes father but in your case i'm very glad i did
42:52you're not at all like my uncle said
42:56uncle
42:57whom i believe you know quite well
42:59actually he used to tread the boards in the footlights
43:01long before he was canon
43:05canon fox
43:06he asked me to let you know that he'll be checking in on you very soon
43:11i look forward to that
43:13i think i'll stick to my vocation for the moment
43:18indeed
43:19transpires that i'm not an exceptional playwright after all
43:21though i do seem to have a talent for this sleuthing lark
43:25perhaps you should devote yourself to your flock
43:28for the time being
43:31right oh father
43:33i do hope the next time we meet is much less eventful
43:37yes
