00:00:03Look, I'll need to borrow your blazer. It'll give me a little more respectability.
00:00:07I'm not convinced.
00:00:09Just try to remember who I am. What I'm supposed to represent.
00:00:12Dad, if you're investigating a murder, you've got to be prepared to be a bit left-handed.
00:00:16Look, Charles...
00:00:16Anyway, it's too late. I've already set up the appointment.
00:00:19He thinks I'm doing a profile on him for The Times.
00:00:22Apparently, he loves blabbing to journalists about the Roger Primero rags-to-riches story.
00:00:28Oh, no.
00:00:30Who on earth is that?
00:00:36If she comes in, try not to look at her.
00:00:39Why not?
00:00:43Oh, my dear. My dear, my dear friend.
00:00:46What a lovely surprise.
00:00:48I was just saying to my daughter this morning,
00:00:50I do hope I meet that nice man again,
00:00:52so I can thank him for ministering to me.
00:00:56In my hour of affliction.
00:00:57Um, this is my son, Charles.
00:01:02Charles, this is Mrs. Crilling.
00:01:05Ah, Mrs. Crilling.
00:01:06How do you do? I've heard so much about you.
00:01:09Nice things, I hope.
00:01:11What else could he say?
00:01:12Please, please join us.
00:01:13Oh, how very kind.
00:01:16It's sweet.
00:01:18Service.
00:01:19You were asked not to come in here again, Mrs. Crilling.
00:01:22I'm sorry, you'll have to leave.
00:01:23Please, as our guest.
00:01:25Well, try and keep her under control.
00:01:27Yes.
00:01:28Pot of tea.
00:01:28My baby is in so much trouble.
00:01:39Who's to help us?
00:01:40Well, talking can sometimes help.
00:01:42Why not start at the beginning?
00:01:43Oh, my dear boy.
00:01:51You see, it could have been, it should have been so different for her.
00:01:57Really?
00:01:57Yes, really.
00:01:59I had a dear old friend, you see, who was simply doted on my baby.
00:02:05She was rolling money, kept serving for that kind of thing.
00:02:08And she was always going on about what she'd do for my baby.
00:02:13I passed it over, of course, having an absolute revulsion about stepping into dead men's shoes.
00:02:21White sugar, please, can't stand that Demerara muck.
00:02:28Silly bitch.
00:02:31Oh, dear, where was I?
00:02:33You were talking about stepping into dead men's shoes.
00:02:35You're not the mercenary type.
00:02:39Exactly.
00:02:41Still, you've got to look after your own.
00:02:44I didn't press it.
00:02:47Until the doctor told me my husband had only six months to live.
00:02:51No pension, no insurance.
00:02:52I was desperate, absolutely desperate.
00:02:55So what on earth did you do?
00:02:58Well, I relented, of course, and I got the old lady a will form.
00:03:02Of course, I had to smuggle it past that crazy old maid of hers.
00:03:06She was poison.
00:03:09Undiluted poison.
00:03:12And it took me months to get the old lady to keep her promise and sign a damn will.
00:03:20A will?
00:03:21But she didn't have a will.
00:03:22Yes, she did.
00:03:24Let me tell this.
00:03:25It's my story.
00:03:26Go on, Mrs. Cridding.
00:03:27A week before she died, her maid got ill.
00:03:33So I thought I'd have a go again at the old lady.
00:03:36And this time, I hit the jackpot.
00:03:40She had 10,000 to leave.
00:03:43And she put my baby down for eight for me to take care.
00:03:46Until she was 21, so I went and got the caretaker and the lady across the road to witness,
00:03:53so that it was all official.
00:03:54And then I kept it under lock and key in our house.
00:03:58Well, that was a good start for your daughter, whatever misfortunes came afterwards.
00:04:03Whatever benefit my baby got was only from a dead father's family,
00:04:08and that was mean, cold charity.
00:04:11But what about the will?
00:04:12Well, that bloody will, it wasn't legal.
00:04:17I only found out after she was dead.
00:04:20I took it straight round to the solicitors.
00:04:22They saw through it right away.
00:04:24She had scribbled alterations all over it.
00:04:26She must have done it while I was seeing the witnesses out of the house.
00:04:31I thought we'd come up trumps when she died.
00:04:35The silly, stupid old cow!
00:04:37Why the hell did you have to go and alter it?
00:04:40That's it.
00:04:41Out.
00:04:42Now.
00:04:42And you two.
00:04:44I saw you eking her on.
00:04:45Out.
00:04:47Well, there's the motive and the opportunity.
00:04:50And perhaps a madness that comes from living with an unconfessed crime.
00:04:54Well, I don't think you'd have to visit Roger Primero now.
00:04:57Oh, I don't know.
00:04:58I won't do any harm.
00:05:05Hello?
00:05:07Goodbye.
00:05:08Mike.
00:05:20Mike!
00:05:21We need to talk.
00:05:27Get in.
00:05:30Drive around the corner and then get me a newspaper.
00:05:31I was having a chat with Henry Archer earlier on about this painter case.
00:05:44Confidentially, I think it'd be a good thing if you took an interest.
00:05:46Really, sir?
00:05:49Why's that?
00:05:51Well, when it all started, I assumed, as I'm sure you did, that there was nothing in it,
00:05:54but...
00:05:55Well, skeletons in policemen's cupboards can reflect badly on everyone.
00:06:00Better we'd take care of it ourselves rather than another force comes in to do it for us.
00:06:03Well, thank you, George.
00:06:07All right, Mike.
00:07:04Sorry to keep you waiting, but exercising a new horse.
00:07:07Charles Burden.
00:07:09Roger Primero.
00:07:12So when Mrs. Primero was murdered, that crilling woman still thought that the will was valid?
00:07:17Yes. Now surely you have to consider her a prime suspect.
00:07:21Well, we can't do anything you realize, that's right.
00:07:26I want you to tell me if I have sufficient grounds to write to the Home Secretary.
00:07:31You don't even have any circumstantial evidence.
00:07:34I would advise against it.
00:07:40I think I shall write just the same.
00:07:43Well, you must do as you please, sir.
00:07:46Have you heard about Alice Flower?
00:07:49No.
00:07:50Passed away yesterday.
00:07:53A happily released, I dare say.
00:07:56Mrs. Primero's grandson was with her at the end.
00:07:58Yes.
00:08:01I believe he's been very kind to her.
00:08:03I hope you find the rest of your stay a place for you, sir.
00:08:11Have you, um, had a chance to see any of the country around here, sir?
00:08:14Uh, yes.
00:08:15I went to Forby yesterday.
00:08:17I was in the churchyard.
00:08:18I happened to notice the grave of the boy the chief inspector mentioned the other day.
00:08:22Ah, John Grace, the poet.
00:08:23Yes, they're very proud of him, Mr. Forby.
00:08:25But his picture was all over the town.
00:08:27He also wrote plays, it seems.
00:08:29Some people even regard him as a sort of religious mystic.
00:08:32My son knows his work.
00:08:34Does he now?
00:08:35I'm surprised that John Grace's fame has spread beyond the parish boundary, let alone to Oxford.
00:08:40Is your son helping you with your own master's answer, sir?
00:08:42Yes.
00:08:44He came down yesterday.
00:08:46He's rather desperate, I'm afraid.
00:08:48It's Tess's birthday soon, right?
00:08:51I see.
00:08:53He hopes to give her innocent father as a present.
00:09:02Of course, the murder was all my fault, really.
00:09:09If only I hadn't left my grandmother so early that Sunday evening.
00:09:13I had to meet a couple of chaps in a pub over at Sewingway.
00:09:16The thing was, they were waiting in another pub.
00:09:19I hung around for about an hour.
00:09:21Then I went home.
00:09:24How many times I've relived that evening.
00:09:28And that was when you were a solicitor's clerk,
00:09:31around about the time you started your first business.
00:09:33Yes, it's terrible, but the thing is, it was the making of me.
00:09:36I needed 10,000 at the time, and suddenly I had it.
00:09:42Speak of us, Mrs. Crilling.
00:09:43Now it's Roger Primero.
00:09:45We're not professional detectives, Charles.
00:09:48I think we should go a little carefully, that's all.
00:09:51Alice Flower died.
00:09:52Oh, I know all about that.
00:09:53Primero was full of it.
00:09:55He's the one arranging the funeral.
00:09:57The kind man taking care of everything.
00:09:59And made it very easy to talk about the murder, actually.
00:10:02I didn't think you'd be so callous, Charles.
00:10:04Well, I think he's a crook.
00:10:06Anyone with that much money and power.
00:10:08Not so sad as the way he obviously needs to flaunt it.
00:10:11The house, the horses, the butler.
00:10:14Oh, and I had the expensive-looking wife paraded in front of me as well.
00:10:17You know, I'm not so sure we're doing the right thing here.
00:10:23I mean, they all close ranks when something like this happens.
00:10:25It's instinctive.
00:10:27I do realise this could put you in a very difficult position.
00:10:30But with your boss being so hostile, we don't see who else we can turn to.
00:10:35You do see the point, don't you?
00:10:37Well, both Alice Flower and Mrs Crilling said that Mrs Primero had just 10,000 to leave.
00:10:43But apparently Roger Primero didn't get only a third of that.
00:10:46He got the whole 10,000, the exact amount he needed, to set himself up in business.
00:10:50There we are.
00:10:51Please help yourselves to sugar and milk.
00:10:53Now, there wasn't a will.
00:10:57We've already checked that.
00:10:59So the 10,000 should have been split three ways between him and his sisters.
00:11:02That's, what, 3,000 odd each.
00:11:05But Primero got the lot.
00:11:09We wondered if you could help us track down the sisters.
00:11:12There's not an awful lot to go on.
00:11:14One of them could still be unmarried and living in London.
00:11:18Yes, as you say, not a lot to go on.
00:11:20You see, his alibi is just so weak.
00:11:23He was in a pub waiting for some mates, but they never turned up.
00:11:26I mean, that's pathetic.
00:11:27Instead of leaving his grandmother's house, like he said,
00:11:29he could have easily hidden himself or sneak back to do the job.
00:11:34You're letting your imagination run away with you.
00:11:36Dad, I can't lose tests.
00:11:37I can't.
00:11:39You have no idea what I'm going through.
00:11:41All right.
00:11:43Leave it with me.
00:11:44I'll see what I can do.
00:11:53Mike, you can't keep turning it over and over and over.
00:12:18There's bound to be a reasonable explanation why Primero ended up with all the money.
00:12:25It's just whether to look into it without telling Reg.
00:12:30Well, I suppose you could argue that you knew he was fed up with it all.
00:12:44You just didn't want to bother him anymore.
00:12:47I could.
00:12:54I could.
00:12:54You just didn't want to bother him.
00:13:24George Wexford, would you believe me?
00:13:34No.
00:13:37Me neither.
00:13:41Guilty or not guilty?
00:13:43Guilty of capital murder.
00:13:46Is that the verdict of you all?
00:13:48It is.
00:13:48It is.
00:13:54Herbert Arthur Painter, you have been found guilty of murder.
00:14:02A murder most foul, callous, and brutal.
00:14:05There is no place for your kind in a decent, lawful society.
00:14:10You shall be taken from here to a place of execution, and you shall be hanged by the neck until you are dead.
00:14:19No, it's God's my witness.
00:14:20May the Lord have mercy on me.
00:14:22I'm innocent.
00:14:23I didn't do it.
00:14:24Oh, man.
00:14:25I'm innocent.
00:14:25I tell you, I didn't do it.
00:14:27I didn't do it.
00:14:28I'm innocent.
00:14:29I tell you, I didn't bloody do it.
00:14:32You can't kill me.
00:14:33I didn't do it.
00:14:34I'm innocent.
00:14:35I tell you.
00:14:36You bastard.
00:14:41Reg?
00:14:47How would you like to go to the Isle of Wight for a couple of days?
00:14:53That would be lovely.
00:14:55Go tomorrow.
00:14:57Be a break for us.
00:14:58Get away from it all.
00:15:01Wonderful.
00:15:33Mr. Primero?
00:16:01Yes.
00:16:02Inspector Byrne.
00:16:03We spoke on the phone.
00:16:04Ah, yes.
00:16:07How did you find me?
00:16:09In the phone book.
00:16:10There aren't many Primeros, even in London.
00:16:13And luckily you hadn't married.
00:16:14Lucky for you.
00:16:15Lucky for me.
00:16:16My sister's married.
00:16:17She's in there, escaping from husband and kids.
00:16:20She only lives across the way.
00:16:22Do have a seat.
00:16:23So, what do you want me to tell you?
00:16:29All of this happened when I was about seven years old, you know.
00:16:33Yes, I understand that.
00:16:35I understand that.
00:16:36Just, um, whatever comes to mind, really.
00:16:39Well, I remember old Granny Rose lived in a big old rented house.
00:16:45I think the family had lost most of their money some years earlier.
00:16:49We went for tea a few times.
00:16:50It was a dark, horrible place.
00:16:53I remember being afraid to go to the bathroom on my own.
00:16:56The maid used to have to take me.
00:16:58I never saw Painter, if that's what you're after.
00:17:03Well, there was a child we used to play with.
00:17:05Elizabeth, her name was, and Painter had a daughter, but Grandmother said she was common.
00:17:09We weren't to have anything to do with her.
00:17:14I'd quite like to have nothing to do with the people around me now.
00:17:21My sister Isabel.
00:17:23Oh, the policeman.
00:17:25Have a seat.
00:17:26Why all this fuss about something that happened 30 years ago?
00:17:31We're just trying to make absolutely sure that justice was properly done.
00:17:34Yeah?
00:17:35Well, it certainly wasn't done to us.
00:17:37I'm sorry?
00:17:38Nothing.
00:17:39Doesn't matter.
00:17:42I haven't spoken to your brother, Roger, yet.
00:17:45Neither have we for the last 25 years.
00:17:48You had a falling out?
00:17:52Our grandmother left 10,000 pounds.
00:17:54It should have been split three ways.
00:17:56It wasn't.
00:17:57Roger got it all.
00:17:58I see, in law, he was perfectly entitled to it.
00:18:01Mind you, it would have been a different story if our grandmother had died a month later.
00:18:06I don't quite follow you.
00:18:09If you saw our brother, you would.
00:18:12Do you see any resemblance between Roger and us?
00:18:17No, not at all.
00:18:23We're not alike either, are we?
00:18:25That's because we're not sisters.
00:18:28Roger isn't our brother.
00:18:30Roger is our mother's son, and Mrs. Primero is his grandmother.
00:18:34His father's mother.
00:18:36Our mother couldn't have any more children.
00:18:39She waited 11 years after she had Roger, then she adopted me.
00:18:43A year later, she adopted Isabel as well.
00:18:45But, um, you were legally adopted.
00:18:47It didn't make any difference.
00:18:50Granny Primero didn't make a will.
00:18:53You see, before 1959, adopted children couldn't inherit unless the dead person had made a will.
00:18:59A month after dear old Granny died, the law changed.
00:19:03Just our rotten luck.
00:19:05If she'd have lasted another four weeks, everything would have been different.
00:19:09Our mother was at him for years to give her something.
00:19:12He made vague promises.
00:19:13Yes, but smart, sharp, greedy Roger kept the lot.
00:19:19Would you like some coffee, Inspector?
00:19:23Yes, thank you.
00:19:43Do you know what makes us even more marvellous than it is?
00:20:12We're playing hockey.
00:20:13Nobody knows where we are or what we're doing.
00:20:17There will be no midnight calls about some grisly murder.
00:20:23Nothing like a surprise to keep a marriage fresh.
00:20:26Well, you know, Charles, he's convinced he's weeded out the real murderer.
00:20:50I've never met the man, but from what I've heard, it doesn't seem very likely.
00:20:58Do I?
00:20:59No, no, I'm fine, really.
00:21:02Yes, dear, I know.
00:21:04Well, it'll just be a few more days.
00:21:07So, tell me some gossip about the parish.
00:21:14Cheer me up.
00:21:16He was working in a solicitor's office at the time, so he could have known that the law was about to change and he wouldn't get the whole ten thousand.
00:21:24He needed the money desperately and his alibi is very weak.
00:21:31I mean, meeting some mates in a pub, but they didn't turn up.
00:21:34Well, surely he was investigated at the time.
00:21:37So he wasn't called to the trial.
00:21:40In fact, there's no evidence that Reg ever suspected him.
00:21:43And the will business never came up.
00:21:46Oh.
00:21:48Well, I mean, Roger Primera, the solicitor, looked respectable and, er, Painter, the odd job man, didn't.
00:21:59Oh, God.
00:22:07Anything but this.
00:22:08Mike, no one is infallible, including Reg Wexford.
00:22:38I'll be with you, my boy.
00:23:08Not at all, lad.

00:24:35I've cut myself.
00:24:58Don't look, Lizzie.
00:24:59I've just cut myself.
00:25:01Well, go on.
00:25:02Run, run, run to Granny Rose.
00:25:05Oh, my God.
00:25:17Don't look.
00:25:18Don't look.
00:25:22This is very kind of you.
00:25:25You'd have been waiting at that bus stop some time.
00:25:29The service was cut last year.
00:25:31According to the estate agent, it's the next turning on the left.
00:25:46Are you sure this is the house you want to see?
00:25:49I'm positive.
00:25:50I can't believe you're interested in buying this place.
00:25:55Well, it's more curiosity, really.
00:25:59I see.
00:26:00Well, it only needs an imaginative owner to give it a new lease of life.
00:26:24Do you know, I have heard about this place so often, I've always wanted to see it inside.
00:26:31This is the kitchen.
00:26:35This is where the maid, you know poor Alice, was cooking lunch.
00:26:43You know about the murder, then?
00:26:45Oh, absolutely off my heart.
00:26:50And if that's there, where is the room where it all happens?
00:27:03This must be it.
00:27:05This is where the maid is.
00:27:35So, this is where the murder took place.
00:27:46Are you an armchair detective?
00:27:51Just curious.
00:27:53You're very like your son.
00:28:01Or he's like you.
00:28:04It's the jaw.
00:28:07Or the eyes.
00:28:12And, of course, the blazer.
00:28:17I didn't know you'd met my son.
00:28:21Bowman?
00:28:23What is that?
00:28:24His writing pseudonym?
00:28:28You didn't tell me you work for a newspaper.
00:28:35Where did you meet him?
00:28:37He came to interview my husband.
00:28:40He was doing a piece of the Times.
00:28:41Your husband is Roger Primero.
00:28:48Yes.
00:28:52What's the matter?
00:28:52I thought your name was Eyed.
00:28:58Eyed?
00:29:00Primero?
00:29:01What's in her name?
00:29:02The relative whose grave you put the flowers on, that was Mrs. Primero, your husband's grandmother.
00:29:16That's how you know about the murder.
00:29:17I've been such a fool.
00:29:19I've been such a fool.
00:29:24Forgive me.
00:29:27For what?
00:29:29Eyed is my maiden name.
00:29:31I kept it for the modeling.
00:29:33I've fallen in love with you.
00:29:41This was the first one I used in anger.
00:29:57This was the first one to go into the collection.
00:30:00Still, you didn't come over here to play with guns, did you?
00:30:05Now, this is the problem of keeping one's whole history.
00:30:09And 50 years is a long time.
00:30:13Right now, I copied everything out when the defense ministry...
00:30:17Tell me you might be...
00:30:18Oh, yes.
00:30:19Tell me you might be coming over here.
00:30:21Here we are.
00:30:22Uh, name, Herbert Arthur, painter, rank, private, number, 110173.
00:30:27Yes, sir.
00:30:27Those are the notes that I got ready at the, uh...
00:30:30At the time of the trial.
00:30:31I thought I might be, uh...
00:30:34I thought I might be called as a character witness,
00:30:36as I'd been his commanding officer at the time.
00:30:39I mean, that was the usual drill.
00:30:41It always bothered me why the defense didn't call you.
00:30:44Oh, you'll read that.
00:30:45You'll soon find out.
00:30:48Anna, come on, Dora.
00:30:50Oh, no work.
00:30:52Ah, it's the two of us playing pookie.
00:30:54A spontaneous weekend away.
00:30:57One eat mores.
00:30:58It still is.
00:30:59I just popped in to collect some papers.
00:31:02And not too bad a lunch.
00:31:03Wasn't it?
00:31:05I don't think I've ever eaten bully beef before.
00:31:08And it was the way his wife flinched every time he shouted bang.
00:31:11Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:31:22I think I loved you from the first time I saw you.
00:31:36I think that's how I was.
00:31:42How what was?
00:31:43I'm married, you know that.
00:31:49I have a son.
00:31:53What you don't know is...
00:31:56I'm a clergyman.
00:32:00A priest.
00:32:01Why didn't you tell me?
00:32:13I've got no right to love you.
00:32:16Who you are.
00:32:18What I am.
00:32:19Why didn't you tell me?
00:32:26You were a priest.
00:32:27I'm sorry.
00:32:32I wouldn't have cared.
00:32:33Please.
00:32:34I think you should go now.
00:32:35Please.
00:32:37Go now.
00:32:37Have a great day.
00:32:57Hey.
00:33:00Bye.
00:33:01Bye.
00:33:02Bye.
00:33:03Bye.
00:33:03Bye.
00:33:04Bye.
00:33:05Bye.
00:33:06Bye.
00:33:07Look, are you sure you've got it right?
00:33:22Yes, yes. Inspector Byrden confirmed it yesterday.
00:33:24Roger Primera had a definite strong motive.
00:33:26He also had an open opportunity and a pathetic alibi.
00:33:29It must be enough to reopen the case.
00:33:31Oh.
00:33:33What an amazing birthday present.
00:33:35Yeah.
00:33:37Excuse me.
00:33:43Sorry.
00:33:49So, was it worth a visit?
00:33:51Well, you remember me telling you that Archer's investigation
00:33:53made everybody involved look back at the past,
00:33:55whether they liked it or not?
00:33:57Well, there's been something niggling at me for the last 30 years.
00:34:00It wasn't so much painter.
00:34:02It was his defence counsel.
00:34:03He struck me as useless.
00:34:06Always doodling on his pad.
00:34:07What?
00:34:08I've always remembered it, and I've always wondered why he didn't call Painter's ex-commanding
00:34:12officer.
00:34:13Was it incompetence?
00:34:15Or did he know that Painter's army background wouldn't do him any favours?
00:34:20And?
00:34:21Well, there was a list of minor charges, drunken disorderly, that sort of thing.
00:34:25And then there was a manslaughter charge of a young woman in a village when he was out
00:34:29in the Far East.
00:34:31Well, he was found not guilty.
00:34:34But he doesn't make pretty reading.
00:34:35Oh, the man was an animal.
00:34:39He killed the old woman.
00:34:42No doubt about it, in my mind.
00:34:45Never has been.
00:34:50There's just one thing that strikes me, though.
00:34:52That's his demodate.
00:34:54Just doesn't add up.
00:34:56I'll get the colonel to check that.
00:34:57There you are.
00:35:09Morning.
00:35:10So, where did you get to last night?
00:35:12I couldn't find you anywhere.
00:35:14Did you check out the house?
00:35:16Yes.
00:35:17And?
00:35:19Well, if you wanted to, there are places Roger Pomeroy could have hidden, instead of going
00:35:24out the front door.
00:35:25Well, that's great.
00:35:27So, why are you looking so glum?
00:35:30Am I?
00:35:31Sorry.
00:35:32I didn't know I was.
00:35:33Look, I've found out that this Wetsford character doesn't get back until this afternoon, so
00:35:38I've arranged a meeting for two o'clock.
00:35:40In the meantime, Tess and I thought we'd go for a drive in the country.
00:35:43Why don't you join us?
00:35:45No, no, I don't think so.
00:35:47You've been working so hard on this.
00:35:49You must have some fun.
00:35:50Oh, come on.
00:35:52I'm very sorry, Mike.
00:35:54Very sorry, indeed.
00:35:56You're the first person to see it.
00:35:58Before he goes to Deputy Chief Constable Freeborn.
00:36:04Reg, I hated writing every single word of it.
00:36:08Oh, it's interesting.
00:36:10And new to me.
00:36:11I didn't know the Primera sisters were adopted.
00:36:15Convenient for Roger Primera, was that?
00:36:16Of course, it's assuming that Primera knew about the impending change in the law.
00:36:22But then he was working in a solicitor's office at the time.
00:36:25Yes.
00:36:26Yes, he was.
00:36:28I'm in no way concluding that Painter was innocent.
00:36:30But it did cross your mind.
00:36:31I just think that this new information concerning Primera is significant.
00:36:40Didn't you suspect him at all?
00:36:42No.
00:36:43No, I didn't.
00:36:46Sorry to disturb you, Gov, but Mr. Primera is here to see you.
00:36:49Oh, yes, I said I'd see him.
00:36:51Try and straight in.
00:36:52We'll talk about this later.
00:36:56Mr. Primera.
00:36:57Good morning.
00:36:59Detective Inspector Burden.
00:37:00Hello.
00:37:02Thank you, Inspector.
00:37:08Later, then.
00:37:09I'm in court till this afternoon.
00:37:14Well, uh...
00:37:16Take a seat.
00:37:20What can I do for you, Mr. Primera?
00:37:22Catch a conman.
00:37:24Nasty little jerk posing as a journalist.
00:37:26Mind?
00:37:27No, not at all.
00:37:28This joker rang me up.
00:37:30Said he was from the Times.
00:37:31Wanted to do an article about my early life.
00:37:34Well, I gave him a hell of a long interview.
00:37:36And even had lunch with me and my wife.
00:37:38And then you thought about it.
00:37:39Rug up the Times and found it didn't exist.
00:37:42How did you know?
00:37:43It happens.
00:37:44I'm surprised that you so.
00:37:46A man of your experience.
00:37:48The time that you should have rung the newspaper,
00:37:50when you first made contact.
00:37:51I feel so stupid.
00:37:52No money to judge, has it?
00:37:54No, no, no.
00:37:54I don't feel that stupid.
00:37:56That's what I don't understand.
00:37:57What was he after?
00:37:58Well, a conman will often go after a man like you, sir.
00:38:01Rich, successful, and in the public eye.
00:38:04Because he knows, and you mustn't take this personally, sir,
00:38:07that most people,
00:38:08even law-abiding citizens,
00:38:11have something in their past lives
00:38:13that they don't want to have known.
00:38:16Perhaps he was, um,
00:38:17trying to find something to blackmail you with.
00:38:19Or perhaps he was just crazy.
00:38:21Hmm.
00:38:22Seemed nice enough.
00:38:24Good looking, well educated.
00:38:25In fact, my wife was quite taken with him.
00:38:27I haven't mentioned this to her yet.
00:38:29It might upset her.
00:38:30Called himself Bowman.
00:38:31Charles Bowman.
00:38:33Charles?
00:38:35Funny thing was,
00:38:36he seemed particularly interested in my grandmother.
00:38:39Was he?
00:38:41Yes, well, I, uh,
00:38:42I wouldn't trouble yourself with this anymore, sir, if I was you.
00:38:45Well, you think he's a nut?
00:38:46Well, he's harmless anyway.
00:38:49But I'll see that he doesn't trouble you again.
00:38:52He will.
00:38:53Thank you for your time.
00:38:58Oh, uh,
00:38:59off to a funeral.
00:39:01Poor old Alice.
00:39:02Oh, yes.
00:39:08Ashes to ashes,
00:39:35dust to dust.
00:39:37In sure and certain hope
00:39:39of the resurrection to eternal life
00:39:41through our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:39:44who died and rose again for us.
00:39:47To him be the glory
00:39:49forever and ever.
00:39:50Amen.
00:39:53Dad, what on earth are you doing?
00:39:54Are you lurking about?
00:39:55There's a funeral just finishing.
00:39:57We've been looking all over the village for you.
00:39:59Come along.
00:40:00No, Charles,
00:40:01wait a minute.
00:40:03What for?
00:40:03Oh, come on.
00:40:05Tess is waiting in the car.
00:40:20Well, well, well.
00:40:22Who are we today,
00:40:23Mr. Bowman?
00:40:25Roger.
00:40:27You recognize him, darling?
00:40:28I'll need you as a witness.
00:40:29What?
00:40:30Witness?
00:40:30Yes.
00:40:32Roger, do you remember Mr. Archery,
00:40:34who we met at the dance?
00:40:35This is his son.
00:40:37Do you deny that you made your way
00:40:38into my home under false pretenses?
00:40:40He's a journalist.
00:40:41He uses a suit in him, that's all.
00:40:43They're here on holiday.
00:40:44I'm afraid that's not quite true,
00:40:46Mrs. Premier.
00:40:47My father and I came down here
00:40:49with the express purpose
00:40:49of collecting certain information.
00:40:52And in order to do that,
00:40:53we had to work our way
00:40:54into your confidence.
00:40:55Okay, maybe we've been
00:40:56a bit unscrupulous,
00:40:57but we thought the end
00:40:58justified the means.
00:40:59I'm afraid I don't understand.
00:41:01What the hell is that all about?
00:41:03What information?
00:41:04Don't tell me you're here.
00:41:06You come down with me right now.
00:41:08We'll lay out your information
00:41:09in front of Chief Inspector Wexford.
00:41:11You should already have it.
00:41:13And at our meeting with him
00:41:14at two o'clock this afternoon,
00:41:15we'll find out exactly
00:41:16what he intends to do about it.
00:41:19Come along, Charles.
00:41:21Inspector Wexford now knows
00:41:22just how convenient it was for you
00:41:24that your grandmother died
00:41:25when she did.
00:41:25And how you used the law
00:41:27to cheat your sisters
00:41:28out of their inheritance.
00:41:30And how on that evening
00:41:32thirty years ago
00:41:32you concealed yourself
00:41:33in your grandmother's house
00:41:34and murdered her.
00:41:38You're out of your mind.
00:41:39That's enough, Charles.
00:41:41This is ridiculous.
00:41:43This is plain ridiculous.
00:41:45It's horrible.
00:41:46Let's go home, darling.
00:41:46Mr. Archery.
00:41:57I hope you've had more pleasure
00:41:59from this trip
00:42:00than you've given us.
00:42:07Guilty, guilty, guilty.
00:42:11Not so as by pleasure
00:42:12she means the free lunch
00:42:13they gave me, the cheapskate.
00:42:14Did you notice
00:42:16how she couldn't even look at me?
00:42:19Oh, come on, Dad.
00:42:20It's so English
00:42:20to have a phobia about scenes.
00:42:23Dear, dear.
00:42:25Look, I'm sorry.
00:42:26I'll tell you about it in the car.
00:42:40Oh, I've read Inspector Burden's report
00:42:42and I've had time
00:42:43to reflect on it.
00:42:45But before we go any further
00:42:46I must tell you
00:42:48that I've had a complaint
00:42:49about you
00:42:50from Mr. Primero.
00:42:53Oh, really, that?
00:42:55Yes, that.
00:42:57Now, I've known for a few days
00:42:58that your father
00:42:59has made the acquaintance
00:43:00of the Primero's
00:43:01and I told your father
00:43:03that if he was going to call
00:43:04on any of the people
00:43:04concerning the case
00:43:05he was to be careful
00:43:07not to make trouble.
00:43:09Now, your little escapade
00:43:10with Mr. Primero
00:43:10is what I call
00:43:11making trouble
00:43:12and I won't have it.
00:43:15Well, I'm sorry
00:43:15but you're not going to tell me
00:43:17that your people
00:43:18don't occasionally
00:43:18invent a cover story
00:43:19to get what they want.
00:43:21My people
00:43:21have the law on their side.
00:43:24They are the law.
00:43:26Now that we've got
00:43:27the lecture out of the way
00:43:28we can turn to
00:43:30what you've uncovered.
00:43:32However...
00:43:32I know what you're going to say
00:43:34that Primero had an alibi
00:43:35and I realise
00:43:37that your people
00:43:37would have checked it out
00:43:38and after all this time
00:43:39it's going to be very difficult
00:43:40to come up with
00:43:40concrete evidence.
00:43:42His alibi was not checked.
00:43:45What?
00:43:46Roger Primero's alibi
00:43:47was not checked.
00:43:48Why the hell not?
00:43:50Charles.
00:43:51Now, I'm happy
00:43:51to discuss the whole thing
00:43:52with you
00:43:53and answer any questions
00:43:54that you like
00:43:54but not in the presence
00:43:56of Miss Kershaw.
00:43:58You can't treat
00:43:59a grown woman
00:44:00like a child.
00:44:01We are going to be married.
00:44:02I'm sorry that this
00:44:03has been such a fruitless meeting.
00:44:04We won't have any secrets.
00:44:06Inspector Burden
00:44:07we'll see you out.
00:44:08I understand.
00:44:10I'll go.
00:44:13Tess.
00:44:14Can't you see?
00:44:16He can't talk about
00:44:17my father
00:44:17in front of me.
00:44:22Sir.
00:44:23What about this alibi
00:44:24that for some mysterious reason
00:44:25was never investigated?
00:44:27There's no mystery about it.
00:44:29Mrs. Primero
00:44:30was killed
00:44:30between 6.25
00:44:32and 7 o'clock.
00:44:33Yes, yes.
00:44:33She was killed
00:44:34in Kings Markham.
00:44:35At 6.30
00:44:37Roger Primero
00:44:38was seen in Sawingbury
00:44:39ten miles away.
00:44:40Oh, he was seen, was he?
00:44:42Well, doesn't it seem
00:44:43remotely possible
00:44:43that he could have
00:44:44fixed it beforehand
00:44:45that he'd be seen?
00:44:46There's always some
00:44:47shifting mate
00:44:47who'll perjure himself
00:44:48for the right price.
00:44:49All right, he was seen.
00:44:50Okay.
00:44:51Who saw him?
00:44:53I saw him.
00:44:56You?
00:44:57I.
00:44:58With my little eye.
00:45:00You might have told us
00:45:01this before.
00:45:02Oh, I would have done
00:45:03if I had the remotest idea
00:45:04that you suspected him.
00:45:06To chat up Mr. Primero
00:45:07about his grandmother
00:45:08is one thing.
00:45:09To pin a murder on him
00:45:10is another.
00:45:11You're quite sure?
00:45:13Even after 30 years?
00:45:14Absolutely.
00:45:16I knew Roger Primero's
00:45:18face very well.
00:45:19I'd often seen him
00:45:19in court
00:45:20in his role
00:45:20as solicitous clerk.
00:45:22On that particular evening,
00:45:24I'd arranged to meet
00:45:25an informant
00:45:26in the pub.
00:45:27As I was leaving
00:45:28at 6.30,
00:45:30I ran slap-bang
00:45:31into Roger Primero.
00:45:33I even remember
00:45:34that he asked
00:45:34whether he could
00:45:35buy me a short snort.
00:45:38Very much his language.
00:45:40There's no way
00:45:40he could have been
00:45:41near the house
00:45:41at the time of the murder.
00:45:43I'm sorry.
00:45:44But the fact is
00:45:45that old Mrs. Rose Primero
00:45:46was murdered
00:45:47by Herbert Painter.
00:45:53I won't give you a moment,
00:45:55miss.
00:45:55Take a seat.
00:45:56Oh, come on.
00:45:56I don't want to sign in.
00:45:59I'll be a few moments.
00:46:11Complete bastards,
00:46:12aren't they?
00:46:19Mr. Archery,
00:46:20if you put this behind you,
00:46:21I'm sure that you'll
00:46:21find out in this together.
00:46:22I'm sorry.
00:46:36The Painter daughter
00:46:37is sitting next
00:46:38to the Quilling daughter
00:46:38out there.
00:46:41Quite an irony,
00:46:42isn't it?
00:46:43All cover, Mike.
00:46:44Let's bury it.
00:46:46If I know that you
00:46:47were investigating Primero,
00:46:48I would have put you right.
00:46:49You could have put me right
00:46:50first thing this morning.
00:46:51We were interrupted.
00:46:53And you were
00:46:53on your way to court.
00:46:54Oh, come on.
00:46:56I had to be taught
00:46:57a lesson, didn't I?
00:46:58The same lesson
00:46:58as Charles Archery.
00:47:00It was so obvious.
00:47:02You were really enjoying
00:47:03your cat and mouse game
00:47:04with him, weren't you?
00:47:05Oh, that's ridiculous.
00:47:07Is it?
00:47:09Well, perhaps I was
00:47:09a bit hard on him.
00:47:11But it's forgivable
00:47:12when you think
00:47:12what I'd been put through.
00:47:14And for you to think
00:47:14that I'd sent
00:47:15an innocent man
00:47:15to the gallows,
00:47:17well, that must have
00:47:17taken a few
00:47:18deeply held convictions, eh?
00:47:19That's not a bad thing,
00:47:23is it?
00:47:32Look, if I don't mind
00:47:33and my parents don't mind,
00:47:35then why can't we
00:47:36just get married
00:47:36into getting
00:47:37never had a friend?
00:47:39Who says
00:47:40they don't mind?
00:47:41Look, considering
00:47:43everything,
00:47:44I've been very lucky.
00:47:46I've had my mum
00:47:47and a wonderful
00:47:49stepfather
00:47:49who loved me
00:47:51and he encouraged me
00:47:53to get where I am today.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:47:58But maybe
00:47:59this is one bit
00:48:00I have to dip out on.
00:48:03What does that mean?
00:48:05It was ridiculous
00:48:06to imagine
00:48:07we could get married.
00:48:08Oh.
00:48:08Oh, I know
00:48:09you try to understand.
00:48:11Do you know I did?
00:48:13Do you know I did?
00:48:16Of the stigma
00:48:16and the pain
00:48:19that I've carried around.
00:48:22And it's not just
00:48:23the cruelty
00:48:23of other people.
00:48:25It's what I've done
00:48:26to myself.
00:48:31I just can't find
00:48:32any peace
00:48:32while I have to live
00:48:33with this injustice.
00:48:38I want you
00:48:39to answer me
00:48:40truthfully.
00:48:42Do you still believe
00:48:43my father is innocent?
00:48:50Well, we never really
00:48:51investigated the crilling
00:48:52with her.
00:48:53She was
00:48:54terrified
00:48:55that her daughter
00:48:56might give away
00:48:57some terrible
00:48:58family secret
00:48:58but I mean
00:48:59who knows
00:48:59what she might
00:48:59be capable of.
00:49:00I see.
00:49:10It would
00:49:11nor away
00:49:11it is,
00:49:12Charles.
00:49:13I know
00:49:14in my heart
00:49:15that my father
00:49:16is innocent.
00:49:17Hello?
00:49:42Hello.
00:49:44Oh.
00:49:45I wanted to apologize for this morning.
00:49:48It was unforgivable.
00:49:51I've forgiven you for this morning.
00:49:53It was really nothing to do with you, was it?
00:49:56It's just the other times that seem incomprehensible.
00:50:05I was hoping that I could say all this on the phone, but I can't.
00:50:10I want to see you.
00:50:14All my life.
00:50:20All my life, I...
00:50:21I know.
00:50:23I know.
00:50:27Well, it would have been possible to meet here.
00:50:32And the hotel isn't a good idea, so...
00:50:35What about the old house?
00:50:38Eight o'clock, all right?
00:50:40Fine.
00:50:41Well, I thought you would have been pleased that Reg was right all along.
00:50:45Of course I'm pleased.
00:50:49I'm sorry.
00:50:51The founder with myself of being drawn into that damn vicarious affair.
00:50:55You did do the right thing, you know, Mike.
00:50:57Yes, well, if I'd waited 48 hours and asked Reg, I wouldn't have had to.
00:51:01Yes.
00:51:05And how did you feel for that 48 hours?
00:51:09Knowing that an innocent man had been hanged.
00:51:13The same argument that Reg used.
00:51:14Well, it doesn't work, because Peter wasn't innocent, he was guilty.
00:51:18I'm sorry.
00:51:20But I'm afraid I can't drum up much compassion towards cold-blooded murderers.
00:51:24I'm sorry.
00:51:40I'm sorry.
00:51:42I'm sorry.
00:51:44I'm sorry.
00:51:45Imogen?
00:52:00Imogen?
00:52:15Imogen?
00:52:19I've done nothing.
00:52:21Absolutely nothing.
00:52:23It was the law at the time.
00:52:25The money came to me.
00:52:26It was perfectly legal.
00:52:28Perhaps it would make you feel better
00:52:30if you gave them their third share now.
00:52:32I would arrange it.
00:52:34You wouldn't have to meet them.
00:52:38Oh.
00:52:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:52:40Yeah, one.
00:52:41Not the point, though, is it?
00:52:43How the hell am I supposed to remember
00:52:46my exact movements of 30 years ago?
00:52:53Wexford's going to be suspicious.
00:52:55Bound to be.
00:52:57My whole standing in this community
00:53:00is shot to pieces
00:53:01because of that damn priest that is son.
00:53:06What does it do to us?
00:53:07You know I've always cared for you.
00:53:14Very much.
00:53:16Bet you've never really loved me, have you?
00:53:22I know you didn't do it.
00:53:28Sorry.
00:53:31Going on like this.
00:53:34You're on your way out.
00:53:35No.
00:53:37It's too wet.
00:53:40Anyway, I think it's too late now.
00:53:41I don't know.
00:53:41You're on your way out.
00:53:48You're on your way out.
00:53:48You're on your way out.
00:53:49You're on your way out.
00:53:49You're on your way out.
00:53:50You're on your way out.
00:53:50You're on your way out.
00:53:51You're on your way out.
00:53:51You're on your way out.
00:53:52You're on your way out.
00:53:53You're on your way out.
00:53:54You're on your way out.
00:53:55You're on your way out.
00:53:56You're on your way out.
00:53:57You're on your way out.
00:53:58You're on your way out.
00:53:59You're on your way out.
00:54:00You're on your way out.
00:54:01You're on your way out.
00:54:02You're on your way out.
00:54:03You're on your way out.
00:54:04You're on your way out.
00:54:05You're on your way out.
00:54:06You're on your way out.
00:54:07I've cut myself.
00:54:36Don't look, Lethia.
00:54:37Just cut myself.
00:54:39Don't look.
00:54:40Just go on.
00:54:42You tell anyone.
00:54:44Or you ever come back here again, you little stuck-up snob.
00:54:49And you know what I'll do.
00:54:51Wherever I am, wherever, I'll find you.
00:54:56And I'll give you what I gave the old girl.
00:54:59So, even after he threatened you, you still came back here later with your mother?
00:55:07I was much more frightened of letting her know I've been out of my party frock than I was of him.
00:55:15I can remember her shouting at me to run into the room.
00:55:21And then I saw her.
00:55:22What do you think it was like for me?
00:55:27I was five years old.
00:55:29What happened then?
00:55:37They put me to bed.
00:55:38I was ill for weeks.
00:55:40I didn't know they'd arrested Painter.
00:55:43Perhaps they didn't think I'd understand.
00:55:45All I knew was he'd made Granny Rose burst open.
00:55:51And if I said I'd seen him, he'd do the same to me.
00:55:57But even after they arrested him, you still didn't tell anyone then?
00:56:03I'm too frightened.
00:56:05He'd find me, you see.
00:56:07Wherever he was.
00:56:08And she wouldn't listen to me, ever.
00:56:15Don't think about it, baby.
00:56:18You put it out of your mind.
00:56:21But it wouldn't go out.
00:56:22It's never gone out.
00:56:23The nightmare's always there.
00:56:32Why did you come back here tonight?
00:56:35I had a row with her.
00:56:36I knew this place was empty.
00:56:38Made myself a bed upstairs.
00:56:42So the coat was yours?
00:56:45Of course it was.
00:56:46I heard you calling out some woman's name, so I went out.
00:56:50Thought you'd gone, so I came back.
00:56:54Anyway, whose did you think it was?
00:56:58The Burt Painters.
00:57:01Always raking up the past, aren't you?
00:57:05And always snooping.
00:57:06You really put the wind up my mother.
00:57:12Yes.
00:57:15She was terrified some awful secret would come out.
00:57:20You want to know what the big secret is, Vicar?
00:57:28Well, you're looking at it, Vicar.
00:57:39The big secret revealed.
00:57:41All those little dots.
00:57:44Needle marks.
00:57:45She gets dihydrocodone to ease her back pain, only she gives the stuff to me.
00:57:55It's easy.
00:57:57It's easy.
00:57:59You dissolve it in water, fill up a hypodermic, have a drink, and you're off.
00:58:04She does it to keep her baby happy.
00:58:14To keep her baby home and under control, more like.
00:58:20She might have just notified the police.
00:58:29She might harm herself or something.
00:58:30We'll take her mother to her and they can sort it out themselves.
00:58:32I don't want to see another policeman for a very long time.
00:58:35Mrs. Quilling!
00:58:49Round the back, Dad.
00:58:58You can't break in.
00:59:00I haven't broken anything.
00:59:11Find the light switch, Charles.
00:59:20Oh, no.
00:59:30She doesn't sprinkle with blood.
00:59:39Wasn't blood.
00:59:40It's cherry brandy.
00:59:42Couldn't you smell it?
00:59:44But why?
00:59:45Why did it happen?
00:59:47The father knows the answer.
00:59:52The 30-year-old nightmare I brought back to life.
00:59:55I remember Elizabeth Quilling.
01:00:01Little girl.
01:00:03The pink, frilly dress.
01:00:04She'll never wear again because it was all spotted with blood.
01:00:08Where is she, Mr. Archery?
01:00:12Too late to protect her now.
01:00:15She might be in danger.
01:00:19She's at the old house.
01:00:21What will they do to her?
01:00:28The law will take care of her.
01:00:51She's at the old house.
01:00:52She's at the old house.
01:00:52She's at the old house.
01:00:53She's at the old house.
01:00:54She's at the old house.
01:00:55She's at the old house.
01:00:56She's at the old house.
01:00:57She's at the old house.
01:00:58She's at the old house.
01:00:59She's at the old house.
01:01:00She's at the old house.
01:01:01She's at the old house.
01:01:02She's at the old house.
01:01:03She's at the old house.
01:01:04She's at the old house.
01:01:05She's at the old house.
01:01:06She's at the old house.
01:01:07She's at the old house.
01:01:08She's at the old house.
01:01:09She's at the old house.
01:01:10She's at the old house.
01:01:11She's at the old house.
01:01:12She's at the old house.
01:01:13She's at the old house.
01:01:14it's all right
01:01:29I didn't feel like
01:01:31taking anything
01:01:32I think I might have
01:01:42killed my mother
01:01:43I think of a mad rock
01:01:56excuse me sir
01:02:20I've just taken a call
01:02:21from Colonel Plachett
01:02:22said he checked
01:02:23the painter's demob date
01:02:24and the facts that
01:02:25it gave use there
01:02:25are definitely correct
01:02:26are they now?
01:02:28is it important sir?
01:02:30rewrite history sergeant
01:02:31I'm sorry sir
01:02:34but as you found the body
01:02:34you'll have to come back
01:02:35for the inquest
01:02:36and the magistrate's
01:02:37court hearing
01:02:38Elizabeth Krillin found a body
01:02:41thirty years ago
01:02:42if it hadn't been
01:02:43for her mother's greed
01:02:44that wouldn't have happened
01:02:45she told me
01:02:47her mother would never
01:02:49allow her to talk
01:02:49about painter
01:02:50perhaps she killed her
01:02:52because
01:02:52she could never release
01:02:54that horror
01:02:54into the light of day
01:02:55perhaps
01:02:57or perhaps
01:02:59she
01:02:59finally refused
01:03:00to give her daughter
01:03:01the tablets that she wanted
01:03:02and she lashed out
01:03:03in an addict's frenzy
01:03:05you and I
01:03:07are never going to agree
01:03:08about anything
01:03:09are we chief inspector?
01:03:11oh I don't know sir

01:05:12will you show me
01:05:13the works of John Grace?

01:05:39before if you'd have asked
01:05:40here have them
01:05:43you can have them
01:05:45only don't ask me
01:05:49about him
01:05:50I have no right
01:05:55to be your inquisitor
01:05:56I'll tell you
01:05:57anything you want to know
01:05:58about Painter
01:05:59anything
01:06:00I don't want to hear
01:06:02about Painter anymore
01:06:03I'm not interested
01:06:05in him
01:06:05I want to know
01:06:08about Tess's father
01:06:09and I now know
01:06:12that Herbert Painter
01:06:14couldn't have been
01:06:15her father
01:06:15does she have to know
01:06:41if she thinks
01:06:44he was just a friend
01:06:45my Tess
01:06:49does she have to know
01:06:51after all these years
01:06:52but it's nothing
01:06:55these days
01:06:56nobody
01:07:00thinks anything
01:07:01of it anymore
01:07:02but nobody knew
01:07:05when I remarried
01:07:07I couldn't even
01:07:07tell Mr. Kershaw
01:07:09he was taking on
01:07:10so much as it was
01:07:11how much do you know
01:07:17you and John Grace
01:07:21you live close
01:07:23to each other
01:07:24in Forby
01:07:24you were in love
01:07:27with each other
01:07:27but he was killed
01:07:29in a road accident
01:07:30he was so clever
01:07:34he never understood
01:07:39he never understood
01:07:39the things that he wrote
01:07:41they were so beautiful
01:07:44after he was killed
01:07:47you discovered
01:07:49you were going
01:07:49to have his child
01:07:50we never did anything
01:07:55wrong
01:07:55but once
01:07:56I've never been
01:08:02one for that
01:08:03side of things
01:08:04we were engaged
01:08:07we were going
01:08:08to be married
01:08:08I imagine
01:08:12you met Painter
01:08:13before he went
01:08:14out east
01:08:14perhaps he was
01:08:15stationed in
01:08:17Forby
01:08:17before he was posted
01:08:18John Grace died
01:08:22in February 1954
01:08:24in March of that year
01:08:26Painter returned
01:08:28from the army
01:08:28you were facing
01:08:30an enormous
01:08:31social stigma
01:08:32you had nowhere
01:08:34to go
01:08:34you were frightened
01:08:35and so you married
01:08:37Painter
01:08:37please
01:08:38let me try
01:08:39to finish
01:08:39you married Painter
01:08:42and allowed him
01:08:43to think
01:08:44that he was
01:08:44Tess's father
01:08:45he always suspected
01:08:47he wasn't
01:08:48and so he treated
01:08:49you both
01:08:49very cruelly
01:08:50but when you
01:08:54married Mr. Kershaw
01:08:55you never told him
01:08:57any of this
01:08:58he never asked me
01:09:01about my life
01:09:02with Bert
01:09:02I was far too ashamed
01:09:04to tell him
01:09:05how could I
01:09:06he was marrying
01:09:09the widow
01:09:11of a murderer
01:09:12a man
01:09:14that had been
01:09:14hanged
01:09:17how could I
01:09:18tell him
01:09:19what was even worse
01:09:20Tess was
01:09:23a legitimate
01:09:24Bert
01:09:25you've done nothing
01:09:46to reproach
01:09:46yourself for
01:09:47you just did
01:09:49what I should have
01:09:49done years ago
01:09:50I didn't want
01:09:54to rock the boat
01:09:54I was
01:09:56too tactful
01:09:57too damn
01:09:58diplomatic
