No need to rush off.

If I'm not home soon,
I'm in serious trouble!

Blimey!

What did you do to me?

You said the stout was a bit
strong for a lady so I...

So you challenged me
to a drinking competition.

Yes!

- Ow!
- Oh...

Did I get in a fight?

You hit your head on the beam
when... when you stood on the table.

Why was I standing on a table?

♪ I can give you the starlight... ♪

Oh no! No, I didn't...

Yeah! The whole pub
gave you a standing ovation!

Thanks for a great night.

Grace, wait!

Where'd you learn
to hold your drink like that?

My father owns the brewery!

I'm in love.

Where are you all going?

What's happening?

- What's happening?
- Grace... Stay... Stay back!

Stay back!

It's your father...

Grace!

Adult literacy classes?

I was hoping you could
help spread the word.

Help recruit volunteers.

And the good Lord provideth.

I know Mrs McCarthy
is a bit strict...

Strict?! She helped out
at the primary school last year

and even the headmaster
started wetting the bed!

I assume... you've all heard
about the fire at the brewery?

Oh, terrible...

And... they have found a body.

Have they identified it?

- Gabriel Kane himself.
- Sid!

Sidney!

Where the devil is he off to?
I need to be in Hambleston by 9:30!

Fire investigators are on the way.
In the meantime, keep the building sealed off.

Should we start interviewing
witnesses, sir?

Talk to the workers still on site.

Old buildings like this...
My money's on dodgy wiring.

I'll handle the family.

You two speak to
the gentleman in the yard.

Don't even think about it!
This area is off limits.

I need to see if Grace is alright.

The blonde?

She's fine. Well... as fine as you can be
when your father's just died.

Over there with her husband.

- Now, like I said...
- It's alright.

I'm leaving.

I'm going to go for a walk.

I need to clear my head.

- Do you want me to come with you?
- No, no, it's fine.

Um... I'll see you back at the house.

Sid! Sid!

Slow down!
- What for? D'you want to introduce me to your husband?

You won't say anything,
will you?

Course not. It was just
a bit of fun, wasn't it?

I don't love him.

Our marriage was arranged.

Harry had an inheritance
he was looking to invest, so...

So your dad got a bunch of cash and your fella
got a stake in the brewery. Lucky them.

Look, without Harry's money,
the brewery would have gone under.

Dozens of families
rely on us for their livelihoods.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

I'll keep schtum.

Goodbye, Sid.

Thank you, Miss Kane.
Any further questions, I'll be in touch.

Please do.

If Grace turns up, will you tell her
the inspector was looking for her?

Certainly.

Why don't I introduce you
to our head brewer, Martin Cartwright?

Padre... I should have known.

I am here to offer my spiritual guidance
to the family in their time of grief.

Pfft...

Father.

There are few ale-lovers in this county
who have not sung your father's praises.

Drink makes men do foolish things.

I'm sorry. A wicked thing to say.

Gabriel wasn't my father.

My mother married him
after his first wife died.

I visited your mother when she was ill.

Gabriel was never the same again.

To bury two wives...

Yes, well, we were never close.

Grace was always the golden girl.

I was only ever the cuckoo in the nest.

I am sure that
that is not the truth.

Any idea how the fire started?

Well, Gabriel was cutting corners.

Bringing costs down.

Harry tried to warn him, but...
Well, an accident was inevitable.

That's a lie!

Daddy would never
have put the brewery at risk!

It must have been sabotage...
A rival brewery, perhaps?

Would the police have thought of that?

- I'm sure they're considering all possibilities.
- Well, are they?

My father's dead.
I want to know what happened.

- If there is any evidence of foul play...
- Please, Father.

I know what the police are like.

They'll write it off as an accident
to avoid fuss.

- Because it probably was an accident!
- No!

You have to help us.

Find out who did this.

I'll do what I can.

Bit early, isn't it?

Free country.

Tell me, Sid. Why were you so alarmed
when you heard about the fire?

I like beer.

I met someone last night,
someone connected to the brewery.

I was worried about her.

Is she alright?

- No, she's not. She's married.
- Ah.

Forgive me, but you don't normally
take affairs of the heart so seriously.

She was different.
At least, I thought she was.

He was here last night... causing trouble.

Go on.

So, LadyF was having
an evening in, for once.

So I thought I'd treat myself
to a couple of jars.

Anyway, there's this couple in there
and he starts getting a bit handy

so I slide over and give it the old
'Sorry I'm late, darling... '

Sorry I'm late, darling...

Now, why would I want to do that?

So he tells me again...
'Get lost!'

Funny story...

And I think, well,
in for a penny in for a pound.

Good friend of mine once told me
about a bloke called Goliath, right?

The thing about Goliath was...

So I tell him how pretty I think he is.

...he was almost as ugly as you.

Just as he's about to plant one on me,
Grace says 'Just go, Owen!'

'Before you get yourself into trouble. '

So he says 'You'll regret this. '

And then he leaves.

Lovely chap.

And she and I... start to get acquainted.

Sidney Carter. Friends call me Sid.

Did Grace say what
they were arguing about?

She said it was nothing.
A misunderstanding.

I spoke to her earlier. She believes
someone started the fire on purpose.

What d'you reckon?

Why not help me find out?

Mr Kane was found sat at his desk.

The firemen believe the blaze
started in the barrel store.

Why didn't he make a run for it?

Perhaps he was overcome by smoke
before he got the chance.

What time did you both leave yesterday?

6pm on the dot. The missus was doing
one of her suet puddings so...

I was at home all night.

9. Ish...

Gabriel wanted to go over the books.

He often worked late.

Afterwards, he said he had
paperwork to finish, so I left.

And locked the main door behind me.

- And where did you go then?
- Home.

I had a dreadful migraine.
I was asleep by 10 at the latest.

You sure you locked the door?

Certain. Why?

Wasn't forced.

Fireman found it unlocked.

Sir. Fire inspector found it
in the barrel store.

Looks like a lid.

From a petrol can.

Call the station.
Let them know we'll be here for a while.

How long, sir?

Until we catch the idiot
that started this fire!

Yes, sir.

Oh, alright, cut the price.

We need to shift more barrels,
get some cash in.

This is a Kane pub.

You've got a cheek coming in here
after what you did.

Want my money or not?

- Mug someone's granny?
- Something like that.

Now, are you going to
let me drink in peace?

Or shall I tell the coppers
where you really were last night?

So where is she?

You know Grace.

She's probably... making daisy chains
in a meadow somewhere.

Rolling in the hay, more like.

You were an imbecile to marry her.

We all make mistakes.

You're not jealous...

While I may not have her looks

I find a little enthusiasm goes
a very long way, don't you think?

Don't.

Well, that's not what
you were saying last week.

You were like a man possessed.

Like I said...

We all make mistakes.

Sorry to keep you, Inspector.
Business to attend to.

How well do you know your workforce?

Inside and out.

Most of them had dads or granddads
who were coopers here before them.

You must get the occasional bad apple.

Well, they play up, they're out.

Any recently?

Well, one, yeah. Owen Brunt.

Mr Fitzgerald found out
he was stealing.

D'you know where I might find him?

Yeah, yeah, but...

First, before you hear this
from someone else

you know I said I was at home all night?

Where were you?

In the spinney at the bottom
of Clutterbuck's Farm.

Let me guess... poaching?

It was just a couple of pheasants.

It's a daft old family tradition,
I take my boy once a month on the full moon.

Home before midnight so that
the missus don't make a fuss, mind.

I wouldn't have mentioned it,
only on my way home I saw something.

Someone, I should say.
Heading into the brewery.

You're a hard woman to track down!

Where were you last night?

Mrs Fitzgerald?

At home. Until about 10.

- And then I went to the pub round the corner.
- You went to the pub?

By yourself?

Harry was asleep.

I wanted to get out of the house.
I stayed until closing time.

Then...?

I went straight to bed.

Do you often sneak off to the pub
while your husband's sleeping?

No.

Not often.

Inspector!

Do you have news?

Martin Cartwright saw someone going into
the brewery shortly before the fire started.

He said he was at home all night?

Yes, well... That's a separate matter.

- So who was it?
- Mrs Fitzgerald.

What exactly are you
looking for, Inspector?

Evidence.

That's enough.

You can come back
when you've got a warrant.

No! This was my father's house.

Look wherever you like, Inspector.
We've got nothing to hide.

Inspector!

Good work, sergeant.

Check these items for fingerprints.

Mrs Fitzgerald, you're under arrest.

You're not obliged to say anything
unless you wish to do so

but what you say will be written down
and may be given in evidence.

But I've never
seen those things before!

- Do something!
- I'm calling our lawyer!

- Oi! What d'you think you're doing?
- Sid! No!

Something to say?

You've got no proof!

Except the physical evidence and
the head brewer placing her at the scene.

- Alright, what's her motive then?
- Money!

Arson's always about money.

Probably looking for an insurance pay-out.
Or maybe she was just having a bad day.

You've got to help me clear her name.

I hate to say this,
but how do you know she didn't do it?

You didn't find
my fingerprints, did you?

Because I never touched
any of those things!

Found these in your coat.

Tell me about Owen Brunt.

He used to work for us.

- A cooper.
- Know him well?

- Not really.
- Well enough to talk to?

I talk to all of our workers.

They're people, not cattle!

So why were you two arguing last night?

In the pub. You were seen.

Remember you're still under caution.

Owen wanted me
to ask my father for his job back.

I refused, and Owen got angry
and told me we'd regret it.

Know what I think?

You tried to engage Mr Brunt's services.

You asked him to torch
the brewery for you.

He said no, so you went
and did it yourself.

That brewery's been
in my family for generations.

So why were you seen going in there?

Get lost on your way home from the pub?

I wasn't there.

Martin's lying.

I don't think so.

- Is this it?
- I've only just started!

Not everyone's willing to admit
to having literacy problems.

Give me a few days and I'll have them
queueing around the block.

- Oh, Father.
- What's happened?

Grace Fitzgerald
has been arrested for arson.

Hardly surprising.

Well, a respectable lady doesn't
go drinking in pubs on her own.

It wasn't her!

Oh, well...

I suppose it doesn't make sense
her jeopardising her inheritance.

- Why would Martin Cartwright lie?
- Maybe he's in on it?

Or... he's covering for someone, I dunno.
But either way, Grace is innocent.

I wouldn't go that far...

Hello, St Mary's Presbytery.

Yes, yes.

It's for you, Father.

Father Brown speaking.

Now?

Yes, I'll be there presently.

Well?

Grace Fitzgerald wants
to make a confession.

Ha!

Last night...
I did something terrible, I...

I can't even say it.

I am notoriously difficult to shock.

- I cheated on Harry.
- Ah.

What?

You thought I had
something to do with the fire?

No.

It doesn't matter now.

I cannot condone your actions but this may be
a way out of your current predicament.

How?

- Tell Inspector Mallory you have an alibi.
- I can't!

If I admit to adultery, Harry will take every
penny I have and throw me out on the street.

He's been foul-tempered
enough recently as it is.

Foul-tempered?

He says his migraines are getting worse.

He's... he's taking God-knows-what
just to sleep.

And he'd been rowing with Daddy.

What about?

Daddy rejected one of
Harry's business proposals.

Harry didn't take it very well.

Do you know what he was proposing?

I've no idea.

But if you think it'll help,
Daddy probably kept a copy.

He usually ferrets that stuff
away in his safe.

Do you have a key?

Excuse me, we're right in the middle of...

It'll have to wait.
I need to interview Grace again.

Right now?

According to the doctor
who examined Mr Kane's body

there's no sign of smoke inhalation.

He was dead before the fire started.

This is now officially
a murder investigation.

Murder?

But you can't think that I...

That you poisoned your father,
then started the fire to cover it up?

Come with me.

Look for the Holy Grail!

Father.

Gabriel Kane was dead before the fire.

Inspector Mallory thinks
that Grace poisoned him

That's ridiculous!

He's got a good case.
Unless we can prove her innocence.

And if we can't...
she's going to hang.

Sergeant!

I was wondering if you could help me.

I'm not allowed to leave my post
at the moment, your ladyship.

And I wouldn't dream of asking you.

Actually, um...

I'm launching an adult literacy scheme

and I was wondering if you
could be my police ambassador.

You must have colleagues who would benefit
from improving their reading and writing.

Not you, of course.

A fine, intelligent officer of the law,
such as yourself.

- Ahem...
- I'm sure you're highly proficient.

Well, um... there might be a couple
of the lads that come to mind.

How lovely.

I'm sure you wouldn't mind giving me
their names and contact details.

Ahem...

I assume she didn't mean
the actual Holy Grail?

Well, it would certainly be a surprise
to the global theological community

if it was found in a brewery in Kembleford.

What are we looking for then?

She couldn't just say it was in a book?

Probably didn't want Mallory to hear.

Miscellaneous. HF. Fifty pounds.

Anyone there? Mr Fitzgerald?

- Shove it somewhere.
- Charming.

What's that?

Pentobarbitone...

- It's a...
- Sssh!

Now.

Father. What are you up to?

Grace asked me to see if I could
salvage anything from her father's office.

Are you sure it was Grace
you saw last night?

Certain.

Look, you really shouldn't
be in here, Father. It's not safe.

Well, um, we were just going.

Well?

Harry Fitzgerald wanted Gabriel Kane
to sell the brewery, the land, and the family name.

Harry killed him
so he couldn't block the sale?

Perhaps.

There is something else.

Gabriel Kane's will.

It doesn't look good.

I wasn't expecting to see you again.

I talked Inspector Mallory round.

After he so rudely interrupted
your confession.

- Did you find the key?
- Yes.

I have news.

Your father recently altered his will

cutting Rose out completely
and naming you as his sole heir.

Poor Rose.

She'll be so disappointed.

Do you think she knew about the will?

She didn't seem exactly grief-stricken
at your father's death.

That's just Rose. She's...
She's getting grumpier by the year.

We used to have such fun.

We'd dress up as each other
and play tricks on Daddy.

But, um, since I got married, she...
She's just... changed.

This inheritance will make you
a very wealthy woman.

Grace, this will not look good to a jury.

But I'd give every penny
to have Daddy back.

You do believe me?

Why do you not tell Inspector Mallory
you have an alibi?

Better be called an adulteress
than a murderer.

There has to be another way to prove it wasn't me.
- What if there isn't?

I can't believe that you would rather hang than
tell Inspector Mallory that you were with Sid.

It mustn't come to that. Please.
Harry wouldn't forgive me.

Not for a second time.

A second time.

There was an incident
with one of the workers.

Owen Brunt.

He flirted with me.
He paid me compliments.

Harry was being so cold...
It was in a moment of madness.

He fired Owen on the spot.

Harry told Martin that Owen
took something that didn't belong to him.

After that, Owen wouldn't let it go.

He followed me around,
begging me to see him.

Last night he even asked me
to run away with him.

I said no but he wouldn't listen.

Not until Sid came to my rescue.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

Owen loses his job, then you reject him.

This is clear motive
for revenge on the Kane family.

I thought we were in a hurry?

Well, I can't leave without buying anything.
It's against my religion.

Course, if you don't want yours...

Right, I've spoken to the landlord.

Owen hasn't been there since lunchtime,
so you'd better tell the inspector.

- Tell him what?
- That Owen did it!

- We don't know that for sure.
- Oh, course we do.

Well, five minutes ago,
you were convinced it was Harry.

And besides, Inspector Mallory,
without evidence, won't let Grace go.

So?

So we need to know
Owen's side of the story.

- Well, let's go then.
- What about our drinks?

I am not leaving Grace... in that police cell...
for another minute.

- Feel a bit sick now.
- Hmm.

Owen!

- Where are you going?
- To find another way in.

Oh, no, it's lock...

How'd you do that?

You know Inspector Mallory will be thrilled
to arrest us for breaking and entering.

Uh oh...

He's going to have
bigger problems than that.

Suicide note.

Says he was paid fifty pounds
to start the fire.

- By whom?
- Doesn't say.

'The guilt is too much but what's worse
is knowing she doesn't love me.'

My guess is he fell for Mrs Fitzgerald
and got in over his head.

- You going to let her go now?
- This doesn't prove she wasn't involved.

Could've been Grace
who paid him the fifty pounds.

The last entry in the brewery accounts
was for fifty pounds. Miscellaneous expenses.

- Initialled... HF.
- Harry Fitzgerald.

How come you've seen the accounts?

Grace Fitzgerald told me where to find them.

I've got an eye-witness
that places Grace at the scene.

- Your witness is lying.
- Or Grace is lying.

Or someone disguised
themselves as Grace.

Five more minutes, padre,
then I'm abandoning this ridiculous charade.

Your men are turning
the whole house upside down.

At least tell them to show a bit of respect.

- Are you alright, Father?
- Yes.

Migraine, I suffer from them terribly.

You wouldn't have anything
to take the edge off it, would you?

If it's bad, take one of these.

I'll get you some water.

Found this in Gabriel's study.
Exactly the same.

Pentobarbitone. Bit stronger
than your average migraine medication.

Give me one good reason not to arrest you
for removing evidence from a scene of a crime!

The paperwork.

I've found something, sir!

You think I pretended to be Grace?

You were bitterly jealous of your sister.

And you certainly knew her well enough
to mimic her convincingly.

You have a wonderful imagination,
Inspector. Look at me!

It was dark. Remember?

The right clothes...

What wig?

We found this in the back of your wardrobe.

Well, I haven't seen that thing for years!

And if I'd already gone to so much trouble,
why not start the fire myself while I was there?

Arson's not an easy thing to get right.
You needed to be sure.

I don't even have a key to the brewery!

Harry did.

You were desperate to sell off the brewery
but Gabriel wouldn't let you.

You think I'd let my own wife hang?

Why not? With Grace and Gabriel out of the way,
you could do what you like with the brewery.

You two plotted to kill Gabriel

and framed Grace,
using Owen to start the fire.

Piffle!

Do you deny paying Owen
the fifty pounds?

No, but... I didn't...

I gave him that money to keep his mouth shut
about his thing with Grace.

I didn't want the world to know
I'm a cuckold!

We found this on the scene.

Pentobarbitone.

And...

from your personal supply.

A perfect match.

Just like you two.

You're both under arrest for murder.

- This is ridiculous!
- No, you...

You're wrong! You've got it wrong!

Ah, Joseph...

Good morning, Inspector.

Thank you for coming.

Wanted to pay my respects
to Mr Kane.

- How are Harry and Rose?
- Stubborn.

Denying everything.

Fitzgerald's hired an army of lawyers.

You mean they're pleading not guilty?

For all the good it'll do them.

Must've thought the fire would cover their tracks,
but they were too careless.

Grace!

How've you been?

You know.

Thanks again. For helping me.

- I don't deserve it, the way I treated you.
- That's not true.

Listen, I've been thinking...

- Now Harry's gone...
- Oh, Sid.

I'm leaving. Too many bad memories.

- Please stay.
- I can't.

I'm going to America.

America?

- When?
- I leave this afternoon.

But...

I'll never forget
the night we had together.

Would you like to say a few words?

Would it be awful if I didn't?
I... I don't think I can get the words out.

- I think everyone will understand.
- You're so kind.

Ah, Sid...

The one that got away.

He will be missed.

Almost as much as his brewery.

Arrived this morning from Mrs Fitzgerald.

We're all out of a job.
They're tearing the place down.

Grace is selling up.

Gabriel will be spinning down there.

I'm sorry.

What will I do now, eh?

If there's anything I can do to help,
you know where I am.

Thanks, Father.

What's happening
with Owen Brunt's funeral?

It's at St Augustine's in Knapton this afternoon.
He has family there.

A church burial after what he did?

I believe discretion has been used
as to the exact circumstances of his death.

I'll ask Sid to take me.
I'd like to pay my respects.

- Didn't know you were acquainted.
- Well, we weren't, really.

He was one of the few to sign up
to my literacy scheme.

Poor man had just lost his job
and could hardly write his own name.

Such a waste.

Mr Cartwright, the letter you got today.
May I have a look?

Certainly, Father.

Sid! Can you ask Inspector Mallory
to meet me at the brewery?

There's been another murder.

What?

Are you really prepared
to let Harry and Rose be punished

for something you did?

I don't understand.

The redundancy notices you sent.

Handwriting matches Owen's suicide note.

Even an amateur graphologist
would notice the similarities.

Perhaps he had the same
teacher as a boy.

Owen was illiterate.

He didn't kill himself.

You shot him.

That's quite a leap.

Your alibi was,
by his own admission, drunk.

A simple matter for you to wait
until he went to sleep and then, um, slip away.

You drugged your father.

And then lit a fire to cover your tracks.

With Gabriel dead
and Harry framed for his murder

you were free to sell the brewery

and start up again
as a rich independent woman.

And you let yourself be caught with Owen
in flagrante delicto

because you knew full well that Harry
would pay to have the scandal covered up.

Then you faked Owen's suicide and left
a note that would help to frame Harry

and prove your innocence.

And Rose?

- Why would I get her involved?
- Ah.

The wicked step-sister.

How long did it take you to convince
your father to cut her out of the will?

No idea what you mean.

I'm confused.

If I went to such efforts
to get myself an alibi

why didn't I tell Mallory
as soon as he arrested me?

You wanted me to investigate.

Oh.

That's why you seduced Sid.
You knew we were friends.

And you didn't trust the police
to find your little clues.

You can't truly believe I framed myself?

Hid evidence in my own car?

Mallory was right.
The culprit was too careless.

Dropping the medicine bottle
and the lid to the petrol can

and being seen by a witness.

Unless...

it was deliberate.

How could I have known I'd be seen?

Full moon.

You've known Martin all your life.
You knew he'd be poaching.

All you had to do was wait by the brewery
until he appeared.

Even if what you are saying were true...

why should I be sorry?

My father was a cruel bully

who sold me off without a second thought.

Harry is a weakling.

Addicted to those painkillers.

I've always hated that stinking brewery.

And now I'll be free of it.

Forever.

And Owen Brunt?

When I broke things off with him,
he threatened to tell my father.

Now, I don't respond well to threats.

Anyway, it was suicide.
Didn't you hear?

Grace. Please.

Confess and turn yourself in.

It's not too late
to seek God's forgiveness.

I'm sorry, Father,
but God will have to wait.

I have a train to catch.

What's this about another murder?

Owen Brant! It wasn't suicide!

Her?!

Mrs Fitzgerald!

You're only delaying the inevitable!

Grace!

Please.

Let me help.

Inspector! She's up here!

Mrs Fitzgerald, get back here!

I wouldn't, if I were you.

Get off me!

Grab her!

Don't move! You're under arrest!

Help me! This is a terrible mistake!

Stop her!

We can run away together!

Go on then.

What are you doing?

What...

Idiot!

Now, now. No need to be bitter.

Grace Fitzgerald,
you're under arrest for murder.

Oh...

Should've known it was too good to be true
when she said her father owned a brewery.

All that glisters is not gold.

I just wanted to say thank you
for helping to clear our name.

Well, to be fair, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't
have been in the frame in the first place.

I've halted the sale of the brewery.

I thought you wanted to sell up?

Had a change of heart.

I'll have to modernise, but...
there's still one Kane to keep things going.

I must say, I am delighted.

- Well, that was awkward.
- I imagine it was.

You slept with his wife.

Fair point.

Do you know what, Father?
I've learnt a valuable lesson.

- Which is?
- Never get emotionally involved.

It's just not worth the hassle.

To the one that got away.

To the one that nearly got away.
