MAN:
"My dear Lady Disdain!

Are you yet still awake?"

"ls it possible disdain should die

while she hath such meet food
to feed it as Signor Benedick?

Disdain should...

Um...

um... disdain would...

To, erm... Disdain should fall from..."

"Courtesy itself must convert to disdain."

Off book already?

Nice understudying, Isabel.

Don't worry, darling.

Yes, don't worry, darling.
You'll get there in the end.

HE LAUGHS

I'm being put off by boozy breath, Patrick.

Ah, yes, well,
at least I'm capturing the essence.

Hm?
- 80-proof essence, I'd say.

Perhaps ban your friend's hip flask
from rehearsal?

OK, can we... can we just get on?

Cos we're short on cast, technical help,
and we're up against it for time--

And now a prima donna too!

OK, do you know what?

Maybe if your wife

had a little peppy-uppy!

Everyone would be better off!

Jeremy.

Unbelievable.
I... I cannot work like this, Patrick.

Darling, let's just finish--

No! I need a break.
- Ugh!

SUDDEN CLATTER
- SHE YELLS

PATRICK:
Charlie?

Ow...
- Oh, my goodness. Charlie!

I fell.

My leg, I think it's broken.

Think this means you're up, Isabel.

Or should I say "Beatrice"?

Don't you think
you're getting me on that stage!

You know I'm no good at learning lines.

There are many other ways

that we can help the Kembleford Players
reach opening night.

It's very kind of you
to offer to help out, Father.

You know there's a Friar in the play?

Perhaps you could be technical advisor.

As a matter of fact, I have already
offered my services to Patrick.

Ah!
- And I will be playing the Friar.

You're... going to be acting?

Yes. He insisted I'd be too busy,
I insisted back and convinced him.

"Anything for the Players," I said!
- Oh, gosh.

It's very real when it's
in black and white, isn't it?

You will be splendid.

Oh, I hope so.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Father.

If this was regular clothes,
I wonder what they wore to parties!

PATRICK: Right, let's try that scene change
one more time, please!

OK, and... cue.

Patrick.
- Mm-hm?

The cavalry has arrived!

Ahl Yes.

Our Friar.

How wonderful.
- Well, it's the least I can do.

I understand that Sergeant Goodfellow
is straddling several minor roles.

I am, Father, but they haven't asked me
to wear a dress this year

so that's good!

And... this is all in memory of Rose.

A worthy cause.

Thank you, Father.

Mili?

This is Brenda.

She's going to be your new props assistant.

How lovely.
- 0h!

Hi, Brenda.

Nice to meet you.
I didn't know it was gonna be props.

I thought she were gonna
put me in a stupid dress!

Props are much more fun. Catch.

Wait!

Eh?

That's brilliant!
- This is papier maché.

Don't worry, I'll teach you
everything you need to know.

Can you grab some paints and things?

My darling Beatrice!

You have returned.

Good morning...

"Benedick".
- THEY CHUCKLE

PATRICK:
OK, so Act 1, Scene 1.

Beatrice and Benedick, please.
- That's us.

PATRICK:
And props people, one more time.

Alright, and...

cue, please!

This is the investment...

Call this number. Coming!

Terribly sorry!

How are you coping?

Well, it is a literal pain

but we move on, don't we?

She wouldn't even let me
wait with her at the hospital.

Insisted I come right back here
to continue rehearsals.

Well, Godspeed with your recovery.
- Thank you.

You're up now, Father.

Oh!

INDISTINCT CHATTER

FATHER BROWN CLEARS HIS THROAT

IN STRANGE VOICE:
"But if all aim but this be levelled false

the supposition of the lady's death
will quench the wonder of her infamy."

"Friar, I must entreat your pains, I think."

Oh, yes. I know this...

Er... "To do what, Signor?"

"To bind me, or undo me.

One of them--"
- OK, scene change, scene change!

Please.
- Patrick?

Yup.
-0Oh.

Well...

Oh, Father?

Marvellous.

Marvellous!

INDISTINCT CHATTER

It's not that extravagant.

It is for flowers that are going to be
dead two days later.

And the food's going to be eaten
and the confetti's going to be in the bin.

Shall we just go to
a registry office instead?

I'm not saying that!

Excuse me, Father.

Sorry about that.

We have slightly different ideas
about how much a wedding should cost.

It's a stressful time.

But your joyful union
will make it all seem worthwhile.

I hope so, Father.

Are you alright?

Hm?
- Your hand.

Oh! Yes, thank you.

It passes.

My hand seems to know when I'm stressed.

Ah! I was just giving Penny
the name of a wonderful florist in town.

PATRICK:
Positions please, Jeremy!

Thank you. Thank you.
- Of course, of course.

Right...
- Right, are we ready?

And...
- Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt.

Mr Sandford, would you kindly

accompany me to the station
to answer a few questions?

HE SCOFFS

Uh, yes, of course, Chief Inspector.

Of course.

Uh, I'm...

I'm so sorry, everyone.
So sorry.

Well, your past
has caught up with you at last.

Oh, I think it's about
a stolen motor vehicle I reported

a few months ago, actually.

But very witty.

You know, it's such a shame

you're not playing Beatrice anymore.

Isabell

I've got an investor's meeting
in town, about seven.

Why don't you come by this afternoon,
say four?

We can get a few hours of rehearsal in.

Oh, right. Jolly idea!

Yes, yes.

Well, let me... get my jacket.

Inspector.

Erm, do you need me to come along,
Chief Inspector?

Uh, no.

You carry on, Sergeant.
- Right you are, sir.

Mrs Devine.

Perhaps you would consider
taking a chaperone this afternoon?

Just a thought.

Don't look at me.

I'm working on props with Millie.

I'm sure there's no need.

I would be delighted to prompt.
- Fine!

If that makes everyone happy.

"Here comes Beatrice.

By this day, she's a fair lady.

I do spy marks of love in her."

Yes, this way, Mr Sandford.

"For I must say she is dead...

and so, I say...

farewell."

Gosh.

Thank you. Thank you.

Marvellous!
- Thank you.

Ah...

Dear Friar, dear lady...

Investors await at the Astwood Hotel.

I must bid you farewell in earnest.

I'm curious, Jeremy.

What do you help people invest in?

JEREMY:
Ah, well...

Hm-hm!

It's a company...

Oh, no thanks.

...in New York, that offers a very
encouraging return on their money.

Now, there is opportunity everywhere!

Sounds wonderfully exciting.
-ltis.

You know, when Patrick and I...

we first joined the Players

there was this mesmerizing old thesp
who would anoint himself

with a touch of the Napoleon
for courage before rehearsals.

Well, Patrick and I, we were...

we were so taken by him, that...

we had matching flasks made.

Just a shame that Charlie
won't let him use his.

Shall we?

Right.

Well, I can give you a lit home
on my way into town, if you like?

Actually, it's such a nice evening.

Father, if you don't mind,
I'd prefer to walk.

Oh, blast, I've left my playbook.

I shall need it.

We can stroll back tomorrow.

Did you see who that was?

No, I didn't get a proper look.

I could have sworn it was Thomas.

Hello! Thomas?

How very odd.

BALLOON POPS
- BRENDA GASPS

Oh... so clever!

Millie's got really good at it.
She's a fast learner.

Enjoy, you two.

And, Brenda,
thank you so much for offering to help out.

Don't worry about it.

They're so kind to let me use it.
My landlady hates mess.

You did well for yourself,
knowing the Maidlands.

Mrs D said you only just moved here, too.

A couple of months ago now.

They sort of took me in.

I, erm...

lived with my aunt before.

She raised me, and then... she died.

Oh.

Sorry.

It's not easy without a mum.

No.

Anyway, uh, Kembleford looked nice.

I checked out the Players

and the Maidlands were there,
and that was that.

They were so kind, and after everything
they'd been through with their little girl.

Sorry, what happened?

Erm...

it's not a secret.

They, erm...

they had a baby.

Rose.

She was a few months old
when she died in her cot.

That's awful.

That's got to be the worst thing ever.
- lt really is.

I think that's why this show
is so important to them.

Raising money for the children's ward.

Anyway, we should get started.

I'l just clear up my mess.

KNOCK ON DOOR

KNOCK ON DOOR

Jeremy?

Oh, my goodness...

Father?
- He's dead.

Mrs Devine and I witnessed Mr Sandford

drinking from the flask
yesterday afternoon

with only the anticipated effect.

So the killer must have poured
the poison into the flask while he was out.

Looks like weed-killer.

The manufacturers put purple dye in it
to stop accidents

but you're never gonna
see that in a hip flask.

I'l check which farmers use it locally, sir.

Oh...

Mrs Devine?
- Last night, when we were leaving

I saw a figure disappear into the hedge.

Father Brown didn't see it as clearly,
but I felt sure

it was Thomas.

Thomas Church?

He couldn't do such a thing.

"Men were deceivers ever."

Perhaps overly cynical, Chief Inspector.

Sadly, not in my line of work.

Let's interview Mr Church.

"Men were deceivers..."

That's from Much Ado, isn't it?

Itis.

Um... Ever since my school days

Shakespeare was always a favourite.

Did you know that Thomas Church
had a farming accident

and his hand shakes?
-Yes.

FATHER BROWN:
No signs of any spills.

Well, could have just wiped it up.

It's still dusty.

Thank you so much, Father.

Mrs Devine. Must get on.

Chief Inspector...

Chief Inspector!

Chief Inspector.

I wonder if the motive for murder

may lie with Mr Sandford's "occupation".

He was talking about a company
in New York.

I don't believe there is one.

I think he was a "snake-oil salesman".

A peddler in false investments.

I was thinking he was a lot of flash
and not much substance, Father.

I wonder, is that why you wished
to question him yesterday?

Come along, Sergeant.

What was the name of that hotel in town
where Mr Sandford was meeting his investor?

The Astwood.

GOODFELLOW:
Hm... Oh.

The Chief Inspector received
an anonymous letter and a newspaper article

about a con-man who fleeced a widow
out of all her money in Oxford six years ago.

That man used an alias
by the name of Jonathan Spicer.

Sergeant!

An anonymous letter?

Thank you, Sergeant.

Coming, sir!

I don't know what to tell you.

Jeremy was my dear friend
since we were boys.

I'll never understand how people
who are larger than life can ever die...

But there we are.

He would have insisted
that the show must go on.

Battered playbook in one hand
and hip flask in the other.

We must somehow replace him,
but for now

we must continue

as our dear Benedick would have wanted.

And with that in mind...

Act 3, Scene 4, please.

Oh, that's Hero and Beatrice.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Sir, Thomas' farm is actually
supplied with that type of weed-killer.

So we have the method but no motive.

Well, sir...
I just got back from the Astwood Hotel.

Took along a photograph
of the Kembleford Players

to show the manager.

He identified Mr Sandford, but...

he also identified his "associate".

"Help to dress me, good coz,
good Meg, good Ursula."

Very nice. Very nice.

And scene change, please!

Father.

Penny's magazine.

Look what's been written.

"Astwood Hotel, 6:30pm tonight."

I saw Jeremy writing that...

Should we talk to Penny?
- No.

Thomas first.

May I have a word?

Thomas!

Your hand!

Excuse us, Father.
We... we need to talk to Thomas.

I think you know why.

It's not what it looks like.

Thomas Church, I am arresting you on
suspicion of the murder of Jeremy Sandford.

You are not obliged to say anything,
but anything you do say

may be given in evidence.

I love you...
- It's OK.

THOMAS: My supplier said
he'd had a visit from the police.

So I went to check the weed-killer
that I keep in the shed

and the lid hadn't been
put back on properly.

It spilled on my hand.
- How convenient.

And the fact that Mrs Devine
saw you last night

about 50 yards from Jeremy's cottage?

You had a motive for wanting Sandford dead.
You knew Penny was seeing him?

So you're admitting you knew your fiancé
was meeting Jeremy in a hotel in town?

Yes.

But not to be unfaithful.

Then why?

"...and partly to save your life,
for I was told you were in a consumption.”

"Peace, I will stop your mouth."

PATRICK:
Right! Right.

Yeah, OK. Lovely.

Lovely.
Thanks, Isabel, that's lovely.

Yeah, no, it's, er... it's good.

Lots... lots to work with there, Sergeant.

We open in a week

and Sergeant Goodfellow
doesn't seem entirely comfortable

in the role of Benedick.

I know. It's not ideal.

BOTH:
Oh!

Splendid work, you two!

Erm, Father...

If you don't think Thomas did it,
d'you think maybe Penny did?

She could easily get her hands on the poison.

So could anyone passing through the farm.

And Penny was with Jeremy
when the flask was being poisoned.

Well, what do you think?

I can't imagine Penny
would let her own fiancé hang.

I completely agree.

Excuse me.

Allow me.
- Oh! Thank you, Father.

This is all I'm good for at the moment.
Organising the programme.

For the tribute to Jeremy.

Very fitting.

Such good friends...

I hope you're proud of your work
for the children's ward.

Poor Patrick was looking after
Rose that night.

My mother was sick.

I was torn, but Patrick insisted I went.

He had to telephone me...

to tell me.

Even the shortest life
has a purpose, doesn't it?

It does.

Rose Maidland...

Born 12th May 1948.

Died November 1st 1948.

You show such strength.

I hope you can find solace in God.

Mm.

PATRICK:
Right, let's try that one more time!

Father, Isabel, please.

Actually, Patrick...

I need to go and see Thomas.

If you're going to the police station,
I shall come along.

Oh, excellent.

Well, excuse us.

W...

Won't be long.

Chief Inspector Sullivan thinks that
your motive for murder was jealousy.

That Penny was having
an affair with Jeremy.

Yes.

But I don't believe that is the case.

Penny was meeting Jeremy
at the hotel.

And Jeremy was meeting a client.

I wonder if Penny was involved
in Jeremy's business...

and if Jeremy's business was illegal?

Why else would you keep silent
if not to protect her?

Penny didn't know it was illegal.

Not at first.

She just wanted to help out
with the cost of the wedding.

He needed her acting skills,
she had to play a satisfied client

to attract future investors.

Then we were sent a letter,
in cut-out newspaper print

saying, "Beware Benedick."

That he was a con-man.

Penny dismissed it,
but then when Chief Inspector Sullivan

showed up at rehearsal to talk to Jeremy...

She thought she might be next.

She told Jeremy she wanted out.

But he said walking away wasn't an option.
He needed her at the final meeting.

Is there any evidence against her?

He'd had her sign
fake investment documents.

I understand that Penny confessing to fraud

might mean a prison sentence for her.

But your life is at stake.

And telling them about Penny
won't take away my motive for killing him.

It will look like I did it to protect her.

And even worse, they might think
Penny was my accomplice.

Ah.

Yes... I see.

It could appear that Penny
kept Jeremy away from the cottage

s0 you could poison the flask.

I did go to the cottage.

But I went to get the papers back
that incriminated her.

Do you still have the papers?
Or the letter?

I burned them.

I didn't want Chief Inspector
Sullivan finding them.

And now I'm going to hang
for something I didn't do.

Thomas, I will do my best
to ensure that that does not happen.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Isabel.

"Do you not love me?"

Uh...

Excuse me?

"Do you not love me?"

Oh...

"Troth no, no more than reason."

Well, that was easy.

The part's yours.

So if you have any problem
with your costume

Millie and Brenda
have kindly offered to help out

now the props are nearly done.

Penny.

I've spoken to Thomas.

I'm doing all I can for him.

Thank you, Father.

Hello, everyone!

Chief Inspector Sullivan
has kindly offered to play Benedick.

THEY APPLAUD
- Oh, that's wonderful news!

Clearly not to everyone's taste.

Very decent of you.

Can you learn all that Shakespeare
in a week?

I have one of those memories.
It's what makes me such a fine policeman.

You do know you've arrested
the wrong person?

Tell me who did it, then, Father.

Miss Palmer?

May I?

"Masters, it is proved already

that you are little better
than false knaves

and it will go near
to be thought shortly.

How answer you for yourselves?"

Not guilty!
- Oh, Father.

Caught me at it!

Must be a relief.

Not having to learn
all of Benedick's lines!

Yes... yes.

Huge relief, Father.

You are still invaluable, Sergeant.

Might I trouble you to show me
the newspaper article

that arrived with the anonymous letter?

It being in the public domain, of course.

And I must say,
you delivered those lines with gusto!

Ladies...

may I have a word with Millie?

Yeah. No problem.

I need you to be honest with me...

because Thomas's life may depend upon it.

Was it you that sent
the anonymous letters about Jeremy?

You knew about his criminal dealings?

Yes.
- You wanted to warn people.

Yes.

Brenda said that you were
raised by your aunt.

Was she one of his victims?

He said he'd...

help her invest her life savings.

She never got over the shock.

I'm sorry.

He worked with another man
to make it look legitimate.

The newspaper article said
that he called himself Jonathan Spicer.

My aunt said that he was always swigging
from a hip flask with those initials on it

talking about his days in amateur dramatics
in the Cotswolds.

I'd read that con-men quite often
talk about things from their actual lives

and I found Kembleford Players

and I saw the name Jeremy Sanford,
SO...

The same initials.

So you approached him about investments?

I was going to draw him out.

I told him I had money to invest

and I thought he might
lead me to his accomplice.

But you found out he was using Penny.

She seemed so decent.

I sent a letter to Thomas to warn him

and one to the police to make sure
no one else got hurt.

And a third...
- A third?

To the Maidlands.

I thought they should know.

Where's my Friar?

Father Brown?

I must return.

Thank you, Millie.

"Holy rites" speech, please, Father.

Oh, yes...

IN STRANGE VOICE:
"All this amazement can I qualify

when that the holy rites are ended

I'l tell you largely of fair Hero's death."

Could we just...
bring it down, a little bit?

ELECTRICITY FIZZES
- LIGHTBULB SHATTERS

Oh!

Can anything else go wrong?

Er, can we fix that, please?

Let's take two minutes, everyone.

Brenda said you spoke to Millie?

I did.

She is responsible
for the anonymous letters

warning about Jeremy.

Her aunt was a victim of his.

Poor girl.

FATHER BROWN:
She also sent one to Patrick and Charlie...

Why would they not say anything?

I was thinking
exactly the same thing myself.

Could understand Patrick
not saying anything

keeping quiet to save his friend

but if Charlie received a letter
denouncing Jeremy

she'd have told the world.
- Mm-hm.

Uh, sir...

Sergeant?

Alright, let's check the photographs
at the crime scene, just to be sure.

Sir, you might want to, um...

Ah, yes. Good point.

Sorry, everyone.

Sorry, Patrick, urgent police business.

Back as soon as possible.

Sergeant Goodfellow?

You're supposed to be with us
this afternoon.

I'm really sorry, Patrick.

FATHER BROWN:
Millie...

Did you send another letter
to the police station?

Another letter?

No, why would 1?

No.

I thought not. Thank you.

This is going to be a disaster!

No. I wouldn't say that.

But there is a kiss.

Beatrice and Benedick...
We haven't even rehearsed the scene!

Mrs Devine!
We've just got the programme.

And look at you!

Oh, my goodness...

Perhaps not the best time to see that.

FATHER BROWN:
Or this...

MRS DEVINE:
What a shame.

Now that we know what we know...

Well, what is it, Father?

How curious.

ELECTRICITY FIZZES
- Ah!

Great! We have light.

MRS DEVINE:
"If thou dost love...

my kindness shall incite thee
to bind up our loves in a holy band.

For others say thou dost deserve,
and I believe it better than reportingly."

Very good, very good.

OK, s0, Hero, Prince! Claudio!
On stage please.

Patrick, do you have a moment?

Father,
I'm rather in the middle of it here.

Yes, I understand and I do apologise--

Sorry to interrupt.

Could we have a word, Mr Maidland?
In private.

Right.

Darling, can you take over?

You have a hip flask.
Can I see it please?

My... my hip flask?

Can't this wait till after the run-through?

It's bad enough that you two
aren't on stage.

It's a murder investigation, Mr Maidland.

From the crime scene.

The monogram.

It's on the wrong side of the flask.

I think Mr Sandford's flask
was switched with yours

and yours contained the poison.

What is it?

PATRICK:
It's fine. It's fine, darling.

Are you suggesting
that I poisoned my best friend?

Why would I do that?

According to the Oxford constabulary,
Mr Sandford worked with an accomplice

for his fraudulent business dealings,
a person he could trust.

And you were living in Oxford at that time
with your wife and...

and baby daughter.

Well, yes.

And we've checked
Mr Sandford's bank statements.

We know you've been depositing
money into his account

since you returned to Kembleford

which could be seen as blackmail.

I played a role in Oxford,
and yes, I've been helping him out

since he came back to Kembleford,
but I didn't kill him.

And I swear, I'd show you
the damn flask if I knew where it was.

I haven't seen it for years.
-II'm sorry...

I've seen it.

It's in the glovebox of the car.

PATRICK:
You've seen it?

CHARLIE:
With a lot of other junk.

If there's some ridiculous suggestion
you're involved in this

it will help clear your name, won't it?

If you wouldn't mind, Mr Maidland.

Sure. I'm parked round the back.

I can't believe this.
- Let me help you.

Thank you, Father.

The idea that Patrick would be involved!

FATHER BROWN:
Indeed.

Although it is now going pretty much
the way you planned it.

As it what?

It was you

who sent the letter to the police
implicating Patrick, wasn't it, Charlie?

This is nonsense.

Did you know that it was Millie

who sent you and Patrick the anonymous
letter with the newspaper cutting?

Because it was from the article

that you learned about
Jeremy's scam in Oxford

and realised that Patrick
was involved in it.

It was then, I think

that you decided to kill Jeremy

and frame Patrick for his murder.

You have been doing this
far too long, Father.

Is everyone a suspect to you?

You seem to be forgetting
the crater in your argument.

I can barely sit down... ugh...
without help.

Of course.

Do you think I somehow rolled myself
into Jeremy's cottage

that night to poison him?

Not possible with a broken leg.

Thank you.

But your leg isn't broken, is it?

Father!

We only have your word for it.

You insisted Patrick
return to the rehearsal.

It's papier mache.

It's light.

Deceptive.

Perfect for theatrical props

as you taught Millie, in your workshop...

in your house.

You'd already obtained the weed-killer
from Thomas' farm.

You went to the engravers
and had the initials "JS"

inscribed on Patrick's
previously blank identical flask.

I thought it was very clever of you

to make the deliberate mistake
with the monogram placement.

Jeremy would have been too drunk to notice.

But sooner or later...

it would have come to someone's attention.

Especially as you were so careful

to place a photograph in the programme...

showing Jeremy with the right flask.

You must have been increasingly frustrated

with Thomas being blamed.

So you took a leaf out of Millie's book

and sent the police an anonymous letter...

drawing their attention to the flask.

You know it wasn't because
of the fraud he got involved in.

Patrick was a fool to agree to that

but it wasn't because of that.

No...

I know.

It was the day you were
visiting your sick mother.

The day Jeremy
needed Patrick's help in Oxford

to dupe an old lady
out of her life savings.

The day Patrick left Rose asleep.

I knew Jeremy would have lied to him
about how long it was going to take.

Patrick could never say no to him.

He was probably gone for hours.

You have constantly asked yourself
if there was anything

you could have done to prevent it.

There wasn't.

It was out of your hands.

But what happens next to Patrick isn't.

Tell the truth, Charlie,
and God will forgive you.

Bag this as evidence, would you, Sergeant?

What's going on?

What's happened to your leg?

Darling?

I killed Jeremy.

What?

He took you away from Rose
when she needed you, and she died.

You killed him?

And you wanted me blamed for it?

The accomplice,
in the newspaper article...

I suddenly realised that must be you.

You weren't there when we lost her,
were you?

No.

I was so angry, Patrick.

You left Rose alone, to help him.

She might have needed you.

She might have been crying.

Waiting for you to comfort her.

To just... pick her up.

I wasn't there for her.
You were meant to be!

You let that man manipulate you,
ike everyone else.

I'm sorry.

When I realised what you'd done...

I stopped having any feelings for you.

If you went to prison for killing Jeremy...

Well, that was fair.

Charlie--
- But at least you cared.

He'd never shown one moment of
regret about what happened to Rose.

And then he came back into our lives.

Put himself in the middle of the show

we were putting on in her memory?

No.

He was a cancer, Patrick.

He brought pain to other people,
and I had to make him pay.

If you only knew...
how much I wish I could go back.

I never should have left her.

My mother...
