Don't feel obliged to say yes.

Say anything you want to us.

Amanda didn't want to ask.

It's worth a shot, don't you think?

Just ask.

How would you feel about marrying us

It would be my honour.

See?

You've no idea

As you don't live in my parish,

I will have to make an application

Whatever it takes.

He's gone all serious.

You're entering into this

Marriage is not something

Well, no, we're not taking it

No.

It's such a relief.

MRS MAGUIRE: Morning!

Hand-holders in the sitting room.

The tap in the churchyard

You've forgotten, haven't you?

This cannot go on, Mr Chambers.

Sorry!

Leonard!

I can't tell you how long

I look forward to brisk walks,

And evenings by the fireside

Fiercely discussing

Welcome home, Leonard.

You're to keep your room tidy

Hand-holders, Mr Chambers.

Shelves for books.

We've resolved to be married.

Resolved.

I'm sorry.

If you have any...

It's not her with the misgivings.

She came to you.

Soft girl.

She wanted guidance.

The church.

Always meddling in people's affairs.

It's my job to help.

It's your job to meddle.

Why do you believe in it all?

My sister is the same.

I never understood it.

This blind acceptance.

It's called faith.

To the point,

Mr Chambers.

I'm sure you must have a point.

Your daughter is in love.

What does a bachelor know of love?

I know enough.

Toiling away in that place.

No wife, no children.

What a waste.

They're not getting married.

What are you so opposed to?

Arthur Evans.

He's trying to do me in.

It's a little on the hot side.

Oh!

This is what she's like.

I love him.

You don't know him.

Oh, well. I'm not sure

I'll visit again tomorrow.

Mr Chambers!

Miss Sheppard.

Have you heard?

The tap?

Begonias are in an awful fix.

I do like my displays to be perfect.

Were you visiting my sister?

Oh, dear.

Remember, the tap.

The tap, absolutely.

Feet!

Is there anything I can be doing?

Anything that might require

I'll be with you in just a minute.

I would say that's almost

I know a bit about rotten apples.

It's your standards,

Leonard, erm...how about

You're preaching on Sunday.

Sunday?

As in...Sunday?

Just speak from the heart,

Oh, for God's sake, man,

You spoilsport.

What's this?

It's from Hildegard Staunton.

A German.

Geordie.

Will you write back?

It's too soon.

And in some ways too late.

I'll be brutally honest.

With regard to Mr Evans -

The church and the parish will be

He had something to do with it.

I know he did.

I'm sorry, we've wasted your time.

No, you haven't.

Arthur Evans...

There's no record of him.

And no-one uses an alias unless -

What do you think to him?

I'm supposed to give people

You don't trust him

Mrs Livingstone thought that

She wasn't a kind woman full stop.

I will not make the woman out

We all know the truth of it.

We found Mum's will.

Left everything to her sister.

She despised Aunt Gladys.

Despised us even more.

Excuse me? Daisy Livingstone?

I've come to pay my respects.

She isn't here, she was cremated.

Did you know her well?

I know she wasn't a great believer

Always liked to keep her eye

It seems a shame that

It is a shame, isn't it?

Sidney.

I don't suppose you had any notes?

Oh, erm...no. None.

None? Whatsoever?

Erm...it was very...

Come here.

Sidney! Sidney!

Miss Sheppard?

The door was open so I just...

I didn't think.

Everyone has been so kind.

People have welcomed me,

into their homes

So I just went in.

I've never seen a person dead before.

No bruising.

No sign of a struggle.

If this was murder, she knew

Death would have been instantaneous.

Caused by what?

Well, poison, maybe.

What we have to consider here

Thank you, Mr Jarvis.

Doctors and vicars,

Neither would you. She's calmer now.

Gotcha.

Argh.

Jesus. All this for

I take what I can and move on.

I don't kill.

So...

How did you do it?

Bit of poison in the cocoa?

Poison you stole from your work

I wouldn't do that.

Maybe Miss Livingstone did it, then.

That girl is a good girl,

You're fond of Isabel.

Anyone can see that.

You know she's having your child?

Maybe it will be the making of her.

Maybe now that bitch of a mum

Maybe it's him

There was an old man. He came to the

Well, that's not proof, Sidney.

..but see no longer.

Grant them thy peace.

Let light perpetual

Didn't fancy the wake?

I, erm...

Sang the solo at midnight mass

Place doesn't change, does it?

The world keeps turning

Why I had to get away.

How did you know the sisters?

One as soft as snow,

You couldn't just, erm...

Thank you.

When I won't come to church, you

Well, these are the prints

And these from your silver cup.

Looked like a silver cup to me.

They match.

The old fella was with Miss Sheppard

It's enough to bring him in.

Right, where we headed?

What's the address?

But you got his name?

Erm...erm...he used to be

It's no use at all.

Feet! I know! I've neglected my

This is Mr Chambers.

Daisy was a wild girl.

My goodness, you made

This was before she was married,

Why did you come back, Mr Chapman?

This is from Miss Sheppard's.

She gave it to me.

There was no Mr Livingstone,

Isabel is yours.

Daisy was shipped off.

Came back a year later, ring on

I wasn't looking for a family,

You were just a boy, Jack.

So...

Isbael has no idea you exist.

I wanted to...to see the world.

I'm afraid

I didn't look back.

Until now.

Gladys wrote.

Said her sister was dying,

that she was sick too.

But there was time

to make things right.

Miss Sheppard was sick?

In the breast. Same as her sister.

Do you we know for sure?

His penchant for the opposite

What business is it of yours or mine

or any-bloody-one

How long is this self-restraint

Because frankly,

What's this?

It poses the question,

can something which is not virtuous

Can it?

What happened to Jack Chapman?

Well, I let him go.

So, how are you finding things?

Not friends exactly.

Everyone has been very kind.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

It's open.

Mr Jarvis.

Unless you wanna be arrested,

Here.

And again.

Jesus Christ.

You signed all of these off?

So many and you never thought

He's a good man, a fine man,

his intent -

Oh, shut up. Bloody fool.

Will it hurt?

Not a bit.

Dr Robinson. No!

Let him do it.

I can't live like this.

Please.

Let him do it.

How many people have you killed?

Society has to trust that a doctor

You have to trust that.

How many?

I have relatively

about the police force,

I leave that to you.

I don't know about your worlds.

I don't expect you to know

But when people die,

And when they're killed -

Many times.

And you, Inspector.

Sometimes people are ready.

Sometimes they hold on

and suffer terribly.

I have seen how debilitating

Then you understand.

No, I don't.

You're a compassionate man.

You've seen Mr Fielding.

I'm sure there were many who cried

You must have felt that

you were relieving their pain,

They were with God.

I have never seen God at the bedside

It's an extraordinary thing.

In those final moments,

I don't think faith makes

I do what is right.

So was it right when you killed

Was it right when you killed

They were old.

They were dying.

They were living too.

You've killed.

You were both soldiers.

You both fought.

It was your duty to take lives.

And it is your duty to save them.

My conscience is clear, Mr Chambers.

I doubt even you could say that.

He's a crackpot.

Seems sane enough to me.

The most insane often do.

Do you believe -

There's ever justification

Do you think I'd be in this job

What about war?

War is different,

Did you kill, Geordie?

What do you think?

One for the road?

It's good to have you back.

It's threadbare but it's clean.

Cheer up that gloomy room of yours

I don't know what to say. It's the

Polite and he hoovers,

If they were, there wouldn't be

What do you mean by that?

Oh, erm...nothing.

Hand-holders, sitting room.

This is all rather mysterious,

Well, there was a bit of confusion.

The Archbishop granted your request.

You could have lied. We wouldn't

I, erm...hear we're in for a treat -

Kant once wrote -

"By a lie, a man annihilates

his dignity as a man."

Our good friend Immanuel

He saw things in black and white.

He didn't dwell on the grey areas.

But who amongst us can honestly say

Who amongst us can say

we live a truly good life?

And that's not to say

We should all continually

To escape

the sins of our past...

..to be accepting

We can't run away from who we are.

We must turn and

Sometimes in life...

I'd like that very much.'

Shall I take him in, sir?

Geordie, he didn't do anything.

Please don't let my dad find out.

You hate your life.

You hate it so much, you have

You gave me your word.

You're not thinking straight.

Don't you tell me what I'm thinking!

You're a stupid, stupid man!

Never behave like that

If you didn't have God on your side,

There was a better way to do this.

I'm scared, Sidney.

Mr Taylor, where's your wife?!
