00:32How's he doing?
00:33He's fine.
00:34At least he says he's fine.
00:38Well, is he just saying it?
00:40What does he really mean it?
00:43Truthfully, I think he's just saying it.
00:46He's tidying, Geordie.
00:48Since when does he tidy?
00:50Since five o'clock this morning, apparently.
00:52He's like a man possessed.
00:53He's not fine.
00:55No, I don't think he's fine at all.
01:00Has his mother been in touch?
01:01Nothing. Radio silence.
01:04Poor lad.
01:05Must feel like she's abandoned him all over again.
01:08Who's abandoned who?
01:10Mrs C.
01:11And Dickens.
01:12Mrs C's abandoned Dickens?
01:14Yup. That's about the size of it.
01:19Why are you both in my kitchen?
01:21I just wanted to see if you'd spoken to the bishop.
01:25You said you were going to speak to the bishop.
01:28Yes.
01:29With regard to Millet preaching.
01:31Yeah, I will.
01:32I will do that.
01:33You want to rejoin the church?
01:34I'm searching for spiritual intent.
01:37I'm just here for the bacon.
01:40Ow.
01:42I'm seeing him next week.
01:44I'll talk to him then.
01:46That would be marvellous.
01:49Sooner rather than later, if you could.
01:53You busy?
01:55I'm tidying, Geordie.
01:56So I hear.
01:57Lord Worley.
02:03Not died, has he?
02:06Not that I know of.
02:08Why?
02:08Is it on the cards?
02:09Well, he's old.
02:11He's lonely.
02:13Well, he's not got long left.
02:14I've been going up to pray with him.
02:16Well, that'll certainly speed him along.
02:18You've been burgled.
02:19And I thought you could do with a break from the tidying.
02:23Oh.
02:25Yeah, give me five minutes.
02:33Dickens?
02:34I panicked.
02:36Sorry.
02:56So...
02:58I'm fine.
03:00Haven't asked you anything yet?
03:02You were going to ask how I was doing,
03:04and the answer is fine.
03:07Me and Meg were always destined to be friends.
03:11You and Meg?
03:13What happened with you and Meg?
03:16Well, she's seeing someone else,
03:17which feels like the right thing.
03:24Good morning, Ruby.
03:25How are you?
03:26Briggs won't let you in that way.
03:28You know how he gets.
03:30Yeah.
03:32Geordie, I usually go in through the kitchens.
03:34I'll go that.
03:38I wasn't thinking about Meg as it happens.
03:41I was thinking about your mother.
03:43Oh, that.
03:45Yeah.
03:46That.
03:50The way I see it, God has a plan for me,
03:53and...
03:53well, my mother being around at the moment,
03:55it isn't part of it, son.
03:58No, it's God's will.
03:59Exactly.
04:00Only it might not just be God's will.
04:07What did you do?
04:08Nothing.
04:12I just suggested...
04:14Suggested what?
04:16That Meera needed to be 100% sure that she wanted this.
04:22Right.
04:23This being a relationship with her son.
04:26Well, yes.
04:28I was trying to help.
04:29So let me get this straight.
04:30You find my mother against my will,
04:34and then you send her away also against my will.
04:36I don't want to see you get hurt.
04:38Like now, you mean?
04:41You said you were fine?
04:42I am fine.
04:45Inspector Keating, Cambridgeshire Police.
04:48Tradesmen's entrance is left and left again.
04:50We're not tradesmen.
04:52Well, you're not the sort of people I let in the front door.
04:55Is that right?
05:06I had a report.
05:09About a burglary.
05:10Excuse me one moment.
05:17Are you angry with me?
05:19No.
05:22You can be angry if you want.
05:25Oh, but that's very generous of you.
05:27Thank you, Geordie.
05:28What on earth are those?
05:29I made them.
05:31With what?
05:32Flour.
05:34Bicarb.
05:34You don't even know what bicarb is.
05:36Prefix bi meaning double.
05:39Carbonate meaning...
05:41Carbonate.
05:42Are you drunk?
05:43No.
05:44First time for everything, I suppose.
05:47Briggs, tell father we're here for tea.
05:49And park the car, would you?
05:50There's a good chat.
05:54Well, how about this?
05:56Strangers are calling.
05:58How thrilling.
06:02Thank you, Briggs.
06:06Inspector!
06:08And you must be our vicar.
06:10Father said you were something of a novelty.
06:12I wonder what he meant by that.
06:14If you'd follow Walter to the scene of the crime and do whatever it is you do, we'd appreciate it
06:19if this matter were dealt with promptement.
06:21He can't speak French. He's just showing off.
06:24And she didn't make those cakes.
06:25I'll make a note of that.
06:27I've listed everything that was taken.
06:29Bugger took everything of value.
06:30Mother's brooches, her tiara.
06:32Butterfly necklace Allegra's been coveting.
06:34It's of deep sentimental value.
06:35Funny how your sentimentality seems to correlate directly to the ratio of diamonds.
06:39We'll need paperwork for the insurance claim.
06:41And I can speak French, by the way.
06:43Fluently, as it happens.
06:45I'm sorry. You are...
06:49The Honourable Jonathan Worley.
06:51Son and heir of Lord Worley.
06:55That was clever.
06:56Didn't even see your mouth move.
06:58Can we speak to your father?
06:59Lord Worley's sleeping.
07:00He's unaware of any of this nastiness, and I intend to keep it that way.
07:08See them out when they're done.
07:10Apologies for my brother.
07:12He can be terribly grand sometimes.
07:14Dipso.
07:15Degenerate!
07:17He has a wife who hates him, and a son who looks nothing like him.
07:21Make of that what you will.
07:23Allegra.
07:26I don't suppose you fancy a little pick-me-up, do you?
07:29We're working.
07:32Yes.
07:33Yes, go on.
07:34I knew you were a compadre.
07:36I could tell the moment I saw you.
07:38Show them to the drawing room, Briggs.
07:41Follow me, please.
07:45I'm not working.
07:47Do you want to ask him?
07:50Please.
07:50No.
08:14No, no.
08:14No, no, no.
08:14No, no, no, no.
08:16No, no.
08:16No, no, no.
08:16No, no, no.
08:25CHUCKED HER THROUGH THE WINDOW, RIFLED THROUGH THE DRAWERS.
08:28WHO THROWS A PAPERWAIT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO ROB A PLACE, HUH?
08:32WHY NOT JIMMY THE LOCK?
08:34AND WHO KEEPS THEIR JEWELRY IN THE ODDS AND SODS DRAW?
08:39NO ONE KEEPS ANYTHING OF IMPORTANCE IN DRAWERS LIKE THIS.
08:44THIS IS WHERE YOU SAY YOU THINK IT'S BEEN STAGED, AND I SAY, INSIDE JOB, I'VE GOT MONEY ON
08:52IT.
08:55AH, THANK YOU.
08:57SURE I CAN'T TEMPT YOU, INSPECTOR?
08:58PRETTY SURE.
08:59WHAT SHOULD WE TOAST TO?
09:01ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER BENDER.
09:03NO RETREAT, SO NO SURRENDER.
09:07I THINK IT'S TIME I SPOKE TO LORD WARLEY.
09:09BUT JOHNTY WOULDN'T LIKE THAT, AND BESIDES, PAR'S SLEEPING.
09:13HERE'S A NOVEL IDEA, HOW ABOUT WE WAKE HIM UP?
09:17WELL, I OBJECT TO THIS WITH SOME GUSTO.
09:21PAR'S VERY GRUMMY WHEN HE'S WOKEN UP.
09:23I THINK WE CAN MANAGE.
09:25READY FOR RUND TWO, VICAR?
09:29HMM, WHY NOT?
09:34I COULD GIVE YOU A FEW REASONS.
09:43HIS LORDSHIP'S TAKEN A NAP.
09:45SO EVERYONE SEEMS VERY KEEN TO TELL ME.
09:48WELL, I'VE ONLY JUST GOT HIM OFF, SO I'D RATHER YOU DIDN'T WAKE HIM IF IT'S ALL THE SAME
09:52TO YOU.
09:52AND I'D RATHER YOU DIDN'T HAMPER MY INVESTIGATION, IF IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU.
10:06WHICH IS A MOST GRANDFORMATION.
10:13WHICH IS A MOST GRANDFORMATION.
10:13I'D RATHER YOU DON'T LIKE IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU.
10:15I'D RATHER YOU TRY TO PLAY THEM.
10:48Go forth from this world in the love of God who created you.
10:56In the power of the Holy Spirit who strengthens you, may you dwell this day in peace.
11:06It's your dream.
11:09It's the words from your dream.
11:12It's a prayer, Geordie.
11:24Silas Marner.
11:26Never read it.
11:28It's about loneliness.
11:32Burn marks around his mouth.
11:36Poisoning.
11:37My bet's on morphine.
11:40Very good, Larry.
11:41Mine too.
11:47Been here hours.
11:54If not days.
11:55How did they not notice?
11:56They noticed.
11:59Someone noticed.
12:03Give me a moment.
12:05Get her.
12:33I heard her mind.
12:38How often did you look in on Lord Worley?
12:40Every two hours.
12:42That's what his kids pay me for.
12:44Badly, if truth be told.
12:47So you checked on him two hours ago?
12:50He was asleep.
12:52What training do you have, Hebzibar?
12:55Three years of nursing college, five years on the job.
12:58Then I'm guessing you know the difference between a man who's asleep
13:01and one who's decomposing.
13:04I'm going to lose my job over this, aren't I?
13:07That's the least of your worries, love.
13:10We come here once a week.
13:12Every Friday morning, we have tea and cakes.
13:15And some terribly stilted chat.
13:17You were here last Friday?
13:19We couldn't do last Friday.
13:22So before that?
13:23Hard to pinpoint exactly.
13:25A month or two back.
13:26Once in a blue moon, then.
13:28He was not an easy man.
13:29He was a bastard, Allegra. Let's not be coy.
13:36He made our lives a misery.
13:39So the only people in the house for the past couple of days would be...
13:43Finesse.
13:43And Briggs.
13:47Larry, bring them both in.
13:48Of course.
13:54Thank you, sir.
13:55We'll be in touch.
13:57My lord.
14:01I'm Lord Worley now.
14:08My lord.
14:14Johnty's buggering off.
14:15Business to attend to, apparently.
14:18I can't stand the thought of rattling around, just me and the ghosts.
14:23Stay for a little bit, would you?
14:25You coming?
14:34She's just lost her father, I should.
14:39Okie dokie.
14:55There's a bell pulled by Lord Worley's bird.
14:58It broke ten years ago or more.
15:00Like everything else in the house.
15:02So how did he get your attention?
15:04I'd go and check on him.
15:06Mm-hmm.
15:07How often?
15:08Morning.
15:09Night.
15:11Often as I could.
15:12This morning?
15:13Last night?
15:14I assumed the nurse was there.
15:17I assumed she was doing her job.
15:22Was she doing a good job, in your opinion?
15:24No.
15:26Negligent?
15:27It looked that way to me.
15:29But when you have two rotten kids like Lord Worley,
15:33negligent's a lot better than what he was used to.
15:35They said they were there a month or so back.
15:39They haven't visited him this year.
15:48Father expressly said never to drink this.
15:51Are you game?
15:53I am, if you are.
15:55I can hardly take it with him.
15:58He looks very pensive.
16:02Blotto more like.
16:04Runs in the family.
16:07Who is he?
16:08Oh God, I don't know.
16:10Great great uncle, some such.
16:13I don't know how much.
16:15Amazing.
16:17That you can trace your family all that way back.
16:19You said things would change.
16:21You said that you could change.
16:21My father has just died.
16:23How dare you?
16:24He's ungrateful and insensitive.
16:26Be careful you don't cross the lines.
16:30This house is one great big, drafty mausoleum.
16:35Do you know the worst of it?
16:37I don't get a bean.
16:38All goes to John's.
16:41Hmm.
16:42Praise be to the first born boy.
16:45Praise be indeed.
16:48She's from a private nursing agency.
16:50Hired by the sun.
16:53How long's she been, Lord Wally's?
16:54January 14th this year she started.
16:56No criminal record.
16:58Won an award for compassion in 1961.
17:01What have you been putting in his porridge?
17:03Personal development.
17:05My bedtime reading.
17:07I'm learning to believe in myself.
17:09Sounds a bit too upbeat for my liking.
17:12I think you're reading it next.
17:18Miss Scott here is going to search a handbag
17:20because I've learned only bad things happen when I do.
17:23If you must.
17:33Trip to Brighton.
17:35Very nice.
17:36Bit of sea air.
17:40Cinema.
17:41Yesterday at 8.30.
17:43Breath of life.
17:45There's irony for you.
17:48I don't expect you'd understand.
17:51Try me.
17:52This job.
17:54All I see is suffering.
17:56Old folk dying alone.
17:59No one to hold their hand.
18:01Apart from you, of course.
18:03If you'd been there.
18:04It was just so...
18:07airless in that room.
18:09So miserable.
18:10So you left him.
18:13On his own.
18:15For a day trip to the seaside.
18:17I feel awful.
18:18I do.
18:19He was a nice old chap.
18:22Bit grumpy.
18:23Aren't we all?
18:26Sometimes it's all just too much.
18:29You have to get away from it.
18:32All the death.
18:34All that sadness.
18:36It's...
18:36Exhausting.
18:38He was a miser, Lord Worley.
18:41He made a note of every penny that went into that house.
18:44Every penny that came out.
18:46Every phone call.
18:48And where'd he do that?
18:49In that book of his.
18:51The one about the old fella.
18:54Silas Marner?
18:55That's the one.
18:57Wouldn't even stretch through a notebook.
18:59Old skin, Flint.
19:03Ring, ring.
19:04Ring, ring.
19:07Reverend Finch speaking.
19:09How may I be of service to you in this, your...
19:12hour of desperate need?
19:15Hmm?
19:15I can make believe, can't I?
19:18Alfie!
19:19He's not here.
19:20He's...
19:22He's up at Lord Worley's.
19:24Not die, does he?
19:25Not that I know of.
19:27Will I do?
19:28No.
19:29Oh.
19:29It's parish business, and you are not of this parish.
19:32I am in my heart.
19:34Try me.
19:35A crime wave is sweeping Grantchester.
19:38What is it?
19:40Barbarity?
19:41Bigamy?
19:42Milk.
19:43Milk?
19:44Three bottles and a loaf of granary bread,
19:46pinched right from the doorstep.
19:48This shall not stand, Mrs C.
19:51Mrs Green on Mill Road.
19:57She thought it was birds.
19:59Stealing a milk bottle in its entirety.
20:02She's not quite the full ticket anymore, bless her.
20:06Oh, I've had a thought.
20:08Oh dear.
20:09Crime tends not to be random,
20:11but influenced by the intersection of offender and victim.
20:17Absolutely none the wiser.
20:19If we work out his pattern,
20:21we'll know where he'll strike next.
20:24What was the next thing that went missing?
20:26Pie from a window ledge at Abbott's Reach.
20:32Mr Brant's Granary Loaf.
20:35Milk from Lacey's Farm.
20:45There's no pattern.
20:46There is if you squint.
20:48He's going to strike again, Leonard.
20:51Then we must be ready for him.
20:59Okay.
21:00Your turn.
21:02Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets.
21:06Oh, I don't have any.
21:08Oh, come on.
21:10Every family has a skeleton in their armoire.
21:13I don't really know my family.
21:14That is an outstanding skeleton.
21:17Also, I have no idea what an armoire is.
21:22Tell me everything.
21:25Okay.
21:26Um, I was a foundling.
21:29Lucky bugger.
21:31I just met my mother, actually.
21:33Was she wicked?
21:35Mm.
21:36She was lovely.
21:39Disappointing.
21:41Mm.
21:42Just...
21:44Well, it just didn't work out, and...
21:47Yeah, I'm okay with that.
21:54Hello?
22:20Yes, they are expensive, but they're hand-stitched.
22:23They're Italian.
22:25And I figure if we invest in something more upmarket,
22:29then we get a more upmarket customer.
22:31What's your instinct telling you?
22:34We do it.
22:35Well, there you go, then.
22:38Crikey.
22:40Sounds to me quite giddy making decisions.
22:42Yeah, you shouldn't do.
22:43You're bloody good at it.
22:44Am I?
22:45A bona fide woman of business.
22:48Glamorous, too.
22:49Tell that to my kids.
22:52Hello, Cece Bissig.
22:54You still at it?
22:55Oh, busy day.
22:57It's like the Marie Celeste here.
22:58Oh, the kids are at Esme's.
23:00I thought we were having a family dinner.
23:02They are.
23:03Just not with you.
23:06Get some chips on your way home, would you love?
23:09Need more sustenance and a cream of tomato.
23:11Will do.
23:12So how was your day?
23:13See you later. Bye.
23:15Bye.
23:15Bye.
23:19Bye.
23:20Bye.
23:27Bye.
23:35Bye.
23:36They never answered his calls.
23:40It's in a terrible shape.
23:42I suppose that's what a lifetime of bad decisions does to a place.
23:46Your father?
23:47The place was crumbling beneath him.
23:51You should have seen it in its heyday.
23:53The parties we'd have.
23:55This room was filled with the great and good.
23:58Band over here.
24:01Pa looking handsome in his white tie.
24:05Mother stunning.
24:07They'd dance for hours until the sun came up.
24:21Chao.
24:23Chao.
24:44I loved Pa, and I despised him at the same time.
24:50Is that a terrible thing to admit?
24:54No.
24:55I grew up surrounded by so many people, and I always felt so alone.
25:36I think it's time we got another bottle.
25:38Don't you?
25:58Alfie?
26:01Yeah.
26:07It's late.
26:09I should...
26:10Should you?
26:11I think so.
26:16It's a shame.
26:21Night.
26:26Please don't leave me.
27:28Take the Chief Inspector job, Kath.
27:31It wouldn't be on the front line, but maybe that's a good thing.
27:34I don't think I've got it in me anymore.
27:36All that death day after day.
27:39It's not even the bodies, really.
27:42It's the people.
27:44It's their miserable lives.
27:47Drags you down in the end.
27:48It sure does.
27:50Hmm.
27:53I'll see you later.
28:06Ruben, the gardener.
28:21Make it look more appealing.
28:23We're catching a thief, not winning the country show.
28:39Now what?
28:41We wait.
28:49Where's Alfie?
28:51Happy birthday.
29:00I have had it up to the net.
29:03And remember.
29:04I don't want to talk to you.
29:37Breakfast?
29:39I imagine you've worked up quite an appetite.
29:43Um...
29:44No, thank you.
29:46Let me show you out, Vicar.
29:52If you sell.
29:53When?
29:54When we sell.
29:56We'll be homeless.
29:57Go ahead.
29:58Do you think you're the only one?
29:59I'm losing a home too.
30:01So self-absorbed.
30:09Morning, Vicar.
30:11Good of you to minister to my sister in her hour of need?
30:15Yeah, you're selling, are you?
30:18Time to remove the albatross from one's neck.
30:23Oh, good. Your friend's here too.
30:26Perfect.
30:27Alfie?
30:28Alfie.
30:33You're up early.
30:35Yeah, I was just...
30:37Ah, never complain, never explain.
30:40I doubt he's got much to complain about.
30:41My sister's quite a goer, by all accounts.
30:44John T?
30:44She collects conquests like other people collect stamps.
30:47Don't you?
30:48And you're all purity and light, are you?
30:50She has a particular fondness for the foreign ones.
30:53You're so vile.
30:54Always nice when you've collected the whole set.
30:56Isn't it, sis?
30:58Children.
31:00Enough.
31:03I'm looking for the gardener.
31:06According to Lord Wally's records, he bought you a paperweight for your birthday.
31:10You old bastard.
31:13Another paperweight kind of chap, I take it?
31:16I dedicated my life to this place.
31:19Like my father before me.
31:21Everything you see, right out here, that's my doing.
31:25And he gives me a lousy paperweight.
31:27Which ended up through his window.
31:29Yeah, I threw it.
31:31Not gonna deny it.
31:33Felt good, to be honest with you.
31:34Well, you were angry.
31:35Yeah.
31:36Yeah, I was angry.
31:37Angry enough to kill.
31:39But what would I have to gain from that?
31:41We live here.
31:41We've got a cottage on the estate.
31:43You're beholden to the family?
31:44Yeah.
31:46And me, my wife, my little girl, Lily.
31:48We try and keep on the right side of him for all the good that's done.
31:51Where he's got us living is damp.
31:53It's moldy.
31:55Lily is sick all the time.
31:56When I asked Lord Wally to do something about it, I begged him.
31:59Nothing?
32:00No, nothing.
32:02I saw you arguing with his son.
32:05No.
32:05Well, I hoped he might care.
32:07But he's throwing us out, so...
32:16Just say what you wanted to say.
32:18I don't want to say anything.
32:20What the hell were you thinking?
32:22There it is.
32:23Dallying with a suspect.
32:25In the house of a dead man.
32:26Her father, no less.
32:28Yeah, I...
32:28If you tell me you're fine one more time, I will not be responsible for my actions.
32:35I think I might be a bit lost.
32:37Lost?
32:40You're a Greek flipping tragedy, Alfie.
32:42I'm not that bad.
32:43I'm not saying you're bad.
32:46I'm saying the situation is...
32:50Your mother's abandoned you again.
32:53And whose fault is that?
32:54She made a choice, Alfie.
32:57I didn't force her to do anything.
33:00Just leave it, please.
33:10I saw something.
33:12In the house.
33:13Something I'm not sure I was meant to see.
33:16You're telling me.
33:20Midway Auction House?
33:22I mean...
33:23What, by Jesus Green?
33:26Someone's boxing things up.
33:28Selling them off.
33:36Oh, I miss this.
33:38Being here.
33:39You're here all the time.
33:41Not like when I was a curate.
33:43Do you ever feel lacking in purpose?
33:45I'm a woman.
33:46All we have is purpose, whether we like it or not.
33:49I wish I could come back.
33:52But you're doing so well.
33:54You're helping men of sin.
33:56That's not what we call them.
33:58You're helping men who've made bad decisions make good ones.
34:03It doesn't feel like God's work.
34:05He would approve, I'm sure.
34:07I like doing things for God.
34:09I'm drifting without the church.
34:12Like, I don't have worth.
34:15You have worth, Leonard.
34:17Silly boy.
34:21He's here.
34:24This is a citizen's arrest.
34:27Raymond.
34:28Raymond.
34:32Go on, then.
34:33I am mortally wounded, Mrs. C.
34:37Raymond Hayes.
34:38Come back here right now.
34:40You're gonna hunt.
34:40Ah.
34:42Well...
34:42Ah.
34:44Ah.
34:45Ah.
34:46Ah.
34:49Ah.
34:50Ah.
34:50Ah.
34:51Ah.
34:57Ah.
35:10They don't look happy.
35:12Well, I doubt they know how, to be honest.
35:14Well, this is going to push them over the edge.
35:17Looks like Daddy didn't love them that much after all.
35:23Exhibit A.
35:25An empty plate.
35:26Once filled with some very good, if rather crumbly, biscuits.
35:30They were meant to be crumbly.
35:32That wasn't a criticism, Mrs. C, just an observation.
35:36What do you have to say for yourself, young man?
35:39Oh, a bruise like a peach.
35:42Raymond, you come right back here.
35:46Go on, Pete.
35:52Midway Auctioneers.
35:54Some nice stuff in here.
35:55Get yourself a real bargain.
35:58Why don't you stop with the theatrics and tell us why we're here?
36:01There's no need to be rude, Johnce.
36:02I'm not being rude.
36:03I'm being to the point.
36:05Tomato, tomato.
36:06It's a fine collection of jewelry.
36:10Tiara, brooches.
36:15Butterfly necklace.
36:15Some bastard stole them and auctioned them off.
36:18Some bastard stole them and auctioned them off.
36:18Well, this catalogue was from two months ago.
36:20Wrong.
36:21These were the exact items stolen the day Father died.
36:23Only they'd already been stolen.
36:26And already been sold.
36:28By whom, exactly?
36:33There was a burglary.
36:34There was no burglary.
36:36I beg to differ.
36:37The window and the paperweight.
36:39Nothing to do with it.
36:40You used it as an opportunity to cover your tracks.
36:43Yeah, throw a few things about, make it look like a burglary.
36:47You had quite the racket going, according to the auction house.
36:52You've been selling things off for months.
36:54You unconscionable little cow.
36:57Moo, moo, moo.
36:58You sold things.
36:59You sold great-granny's portrait.
37:01To keep the lights on.
37:02I'd sell the bloody lights if you could.
37:04Looks like you got there first.
37:05And where were you, Johnty?
37:06Everything was mouldering.
37:08What did it matter if I took a few things?
37:10I own the house.
37:11I own its contents.
37:13Wrong.
37:13You don't own the house or its contents.
37:18Eppie does.
37:22And who, pray tell, is Eppie?
37:25Lord Worley's last will and testament.
37:28And the lucky recipient is...
37:32Ta-da!
37:34You.
37:36You're having me on?
37:38All my worldly goods I bequeath to Eppie.
37:42Short for Hepzibah.
37:44Well, I didn't know he'd done that.
37:47So you didn't get him to sign over everything to you?
37:51Then you make him a nice cup of tea.
37:53Yeah, milk.
37:55Sugar.
37:56Morphine.
37:57No!
37:59You could almost understand her.
38:01If you'd helped him on his way.
38:03I went to the cinema to avoid seeing him suffer.
38:06Why'd I do that if I was happy to put him out of his misery?
38:09I'm sorry.
38:14So...
38:15I get the house then, do I?
38:18I imagine all the dust in.
38:21I knew he never loved us.
38:23Don't take it to heart, John T.
38:24He wasn't capable of it.
38:27Perhaps if you'd shown him some love in return...
38:31And what do you know of love?
38:32You were never loved.
38:34Don't speak to him like that.
38:37So you're arresting her?
38:38This Eppie?
38:40I knew I didn't trust her.
38:41She's staying in custody till we complete our inquiries.
38:45Good.
38:45As are you both.
38:47That is indefensible.
38:50Quite defensible, as it happens.
38:52My lord.
39:01Try not to disturb anything.
39:07We're missing something.
39:17Hospital corners.
39:23Two cups of tea.
39:27The lamp.
39:29Someone lit it for him.
39:31Paraffin levels suggested it had been burning
39:33approximately 11 hours before the death.
39:35So, not the nurse.
39:37Because she was in the cinema.
39:38Someone sits with him, smooths his blankets,
39:42gives him tea, brings him flowers.
39:45Someone cares.
39:51Where's the book?
39:52Silas Marner?
39:53I've gone through all of it.
39:56Eppie.
39:58It isn't short for Hepsi, but it's the girl in the story.
40:03An old man, saved from his misery,
40:06reborn through the love of a child.
40:11There's only one person who cared for Lord Wally.
40:18Don't tell me.
40:20That bloody butler did it.
40:29Raymond Hayes, you open this door.
40:36Where's your father?
40:37I'm not leaving till I speak to him.
40:52I think he might be dying.
41:00I liked him.
41:02I know not many did, but he had a good heart underneath it all.
41:07You bought him flowers.
41:08You tucked him in, you lit a nightlight.
41:10He was afraid of the dark at the end.
41:13Afraid of being alone.
41:15You're Eppie.
41:17Aren't you?
41:18He calls you Eppie.
41:20He said I reminded him of that book of his.
41:23Never read it myself.
41:26He gave me that name and I humored him.
41:30Lord Wally asked you to make two phone calls a night he died.
41:34To his daughter and to his son.
41:37He's asking for you.
41:39Please, Miss Allegra.
41:40I simply can't get his beck and call breaks.
41:43Selfish old fool.
41:44He was in pain and he was lonely.
41:48He wanted to see them.
41:50What did you tell him, Lord Wally?
41:51That they were on their way.
41:54I didn't want to break his heart.
41:56His children say he was a tyrant.
41:58He was difficult.
42:00But he was fascinating and worldly.
42:04They never once tried to put themselves in his shoes.
42:07They only ever wanted to see things how they saw them.
42:11Selfish bastards.
42:12So you sat up with him waiting for them to arrive,
42:15knowing they never would.
42:34You brought him his cup of tea.
42:38With a fatal dose of morphine in it.
42:42I didn't want him to suffer anymore.
42:46And he never had to know.
42:50He was entirely alone in this world.
42:55Doesn't everyone deserve a bit of kindness?
42:58Doesn't everyone deserve a bit of compassion now and then?
43:01That compassion will get you a few years inside.
43:04Worth it.
43:05I think, for a friend.
43:08But you get the house too,
43:09which is quite the billy bonus.
43:11That's not the will.
43:13That's not the last one he wrote.
43:19Well, according to the solicitors it is.
43:22He went to another solicitor.
43:23I didn't care about the house.
43:26Lord Worley found a more fitting beneficiary.
43:31The will's in an envelope.
43:33A brown envelope.
43:50I thought no one kept anything of importance in a draw like this.
43:55Always happy to be proven wrong.
44:10Don't tell me it's the kids.
44:12Well, Christ on a bike.
44:39Welcome home.
44:48Hey, what do you think of this, eh?
44:51She's not beautiful.
45:00But this cannot be legally binding.
45:02I refuse to believe it.
45:04Can I get going if I were you?
45:06You're trespassing.
45:07Alfie.
45:08You must see what a dire spot this has left us in.
45:10We have nowhere.
45:12We have no one.
45:13And whose fault is that?
45:14You're no fun when you're pious.
45:17Good luck with your stamp collecting.
45:44What's this?
45:45A little bedtime read.
45:46The power of positive thinking.
45:49Hmm?
45:49I know you've got a big decision to make.
45:52Chapter six.
45:55How do you know that?
45:57I know everything.
45:59What if I make the wrong decision?
46:01Chapter seven.
46:05Well done for today, Larry.
46:07You're a detective inspector in the making.
46:10You reckon?
46:11I can almost guarantee it.
46:18He wasn't up to no good, was he?
46:22He came to the vicarage to ask for help.
46:25Sensible young chap.
46:28We'll have your writer's reading no time.
46:31Get you some more water.
46:33Doctor's on his way, Marcus.
46:43Thank you, vicar.
46:48You're welcome.
46:51Dear sir,
46:53as you know,
46:54I consider this job more than a vocation.
46:57I consider it my life's work.
47:00In truth, I'd be lost without it.
47:03So if it's a choice between a life
47:05drifting about at home,
47:07getting under the wife's feet,
47:09or a life of purpose,
47:11then I choose the latter.
47:12Hub?
47:16Go on there, Mr. Switch.
47:17Why not?
47:18Peter, please.
47:24Taking a step back will be hard,
47:27but I know the station is in safe hands.
47:31It would be my honor
47:32to accept the role
47:35of chief inspector.
48:07The place looks good.
48:11Very tidy.
48:13Huh.
48:15I think it might have been a distraction.
48:18The tidying.
48:20I didn't like to say.
48:29I don't think my mom wants to see me again.
48:33I know.
48:35Maybe it's God's will.
48:37Maybe.
48:41Or maybe I'm just using that as an excuse.
48:44Maybe.
48:50Do you know what I'd do if I were you?
48:53I'd get in your car.
48:55I'd go and see her,
48:56however painful it might be.
48:59I'd listen when I wanted to shout.
49:01I'd forgive when I wanted to punish.
49:06The thing is, Alfie,
49:09God has a will,
49:11but so do we.
49:14We have one life.
49:16What kind of life would that be
49:17if we sat and did nothing?
49:22Well, if she doesn't want me,
49:27then we'll be here waiting for you.
