Jacobi calls once a month and there's our chaplain father bein he comes on Sundays Fridays and holy days whether we want him to or not hmm could I take a look at this broken window of yours any idea who did this vandals we found some beer bottles amongst the broken glass do you still have them we put them out with a rubbish is it important it might be well could you tell me about mother Thomas's life before she came to the Priory very little I'm afraid she was Irish her brother used to visit but he hasn't been for several years did they fall out not that I'm aware as time passes it gets harder and harder to find things to talk about with people from the outside that's been your personal experience I haven't had a visitor since my mother died 18 years ago but I've observed it in others you've been here a long turn I joined the order in 1978 before that was a missionary forgive me you've had an awful shock I created the garden here you know I made it profitable - when did you come to the Priory mother Jurong about 1981 after my second husband died and my daughter had grown up and immigrated and I'd had enough of men why here my great-aunt was Prioress here in the 1930s of course it was a far bigger community then 60 tons at its peak and look at us now Catherines our first recruit in nearly 30 years is this usually a happy place would you say mother Thomas and mother Julian never really got on why is that mother Thomas wanted to be Prioress but it was mother Julian that got elected and do you think that was the wrong decision I created the garden here you know and I made it nice and profitable for us all you mind if I carry on there are 20 kilos of fruit to make it a jam before the wasps get to it sort of person was mother Thomas please Fokin practical okay three years your name before you alright Catherine Norrington it still eats until I make my favorite class three previous occupation I was at Oxford doing postdoctoral research in the history faculty Catholicism in England our click on the Reformation right and you gave it up because because I found God or rather God found me and led me to midsummer Priory do you mind if I ask about past relationships with men a few all over longer any of them serious you mean is there a man out there still so madly in love with me that he'd met her mother Thomas to frighten me into changing my mind about becoming a nun something like that sister Catherine yes Jessie was so unlikely no everything was perfectly amicable and as far as I'm aware none of the mule knows where I am she didn't have much nothing personal you make up the good nuns give me a nice straightforward armed robber any day happy climbing in the walls let's take a look around outside apparently there's a small Ward beyond the chapel this is a weird place isn't it I think it's rather beautiful the main house is cuter if I'm not mistaken those women though the robes men's names normal is it you still have good Welsh Baptist at heart aren't you James no longer that sir tougher the teetotalism and the him Sydney no escape is there even when they're dead let not your heart be troubled ye who believe in God believe also in me in my father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself but where I am there ye may be also [Music] aha a Dingley Dell so this is the sort of place the killer might have hidden out while they were waiting well if you did we have himself a bit of a posse [Music] sorry they've kept you both I've been on the phone to the bishop about this tragic business a time please thank you for finding the time father the end I understand you visit the Priory twice a week or more that's right it's my privilege to serve as chaplain say Mass for the nuns hear the confessions which I can't talk about obviously no but is there anything you can tell us that might have a bearing on the murder any worries or special tensions inside the convent and not to my knowledge no for people living so closely together must have had disagreements sometimes now probably the original nuns of the Priory were French aristocrats inspector and the present lot regard themselves as their heirs whatever was going on they'd put up a show in front of the servants which is essentially how they see me and you resent that understandably at all I find it quite amusing but for their own sakes I wish they'd be a little more open to good advice can you give us an example I need to adapt to the modern age it's absurd for women not three now rattling around and that's huge building when they haven't the money to maintain it I told them they should move somewhere more modest rent The Priory right Celes should think I'd suggested turning the place into a lap dancing club I can t just order them to make the changes chance would be a fine thing that no power over them at all oh they're sitting pretty up at the Priory and don't they know it better I'll take it shopping thing can't believe it can you you seem I heard anything unusual any strangers been in lately what I recall 39 here I did see a woman a couple of nights ago outside as I was leaving looked a bit lost but she'd gone before I could speak to her can you describe her it was dark she was wearing these really odd clothes odd old fashioned like a nun's habit no she did have a hat on though sort of beret which direction did she go along towards the new houses okay thanks is it true they're not allowed to talk or nuns oh they talk all right we used to sneak into the Priory grounds when we were kids for a day or night dinner that's how I felt that one I did to the frill if you know what I mean [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] it didn't occur to you to check the save after the murder your sergeant asked if anything appeared to have been disturbed he said nothing about checking locked safes did you describe the missing pieces please mother Julien a chalice which is a goblet for the communion wine two candlesticks about three feet high and a beautifully engraved pattern what's a pattern a plate essentially all in chase silver early 17th century French magnificent French the order of st. Mathilde was established in France in 1519 chief inspector 200 years later during the revolution the nuns were forced to flee and were given sanctuary here the silver was all they had to bring with them we only use it on special occasions Christmas Easter and the mass to celebrate Catherine's final vows how much is the solo worth sixty thousand pounds that's very precise we consulted a dealer recently with a view to selling it don't have the name of the dealer place I don't know mother Thomas handled the matter so you didn't go through with it we talked about it and prayed as we do about all decisions and decided against such an important part of our heritage father Bearden said you were sitting pretty at the friar what did he mean what a [ __ ] expression I suppose he was referring to the deed of trust yes and then asking to England in 1790 they had nothing except 60,000 quiz worth of silver indeed at about and charitable landowner called Sir Anthony virtue who made over the Priory to the order for as long as there should be a community on this site now there are so few of us left father bean thinks the house and land could be put to better use but he can't force us out and if there were no nuns left would search be able to sell the priory then know it would revert to the heirs of sir Antony do you know who they are no does father be no Liz I've never discussed it with him looks like it's pretty straightforward awful go on then mother Thomas picked the Dodger dealer he was looking for a bargain and when it all fell through he just took what he wanted Paul they accordingly throttled her how did he get into the safe probably forced her to open it then he killed her in the chicken coop after they smoked a joint together in the Dell what do you see happen there oh I agree that's the most obvious solution so when we get back to the neck it's okay if I start contacting silver dealers and get the fingerprint guys out here just in case since we're keeping an open mind [Music] how many nuns does it take to fool the community this is one of those jokes how many folks in is does it take to change a light bulb I don't do jokes jokes no sir I noticed the answers fall by the way once you change it and through this thing about good the old one was I went down to the mortuary but they said you were finished as I thought manual strangulation it was in good shape for a woman of our age simple life I'm growing food no booze no stress killer was probably taller than the victim unless he forced her onto the ground big hands not massive he strangling someone with your bare hands takes a lot of strength Oh the nuns work in the garden do all their own housework no you're right nuns don't just up and kill other nuns oh I wouldn't put anything past that not holy crows we used to fool them top class convent education John maybe what I am today which is a rationalist and an atheist I didn't extremely first Thank You index finger Kim [Music] mr. machine [Music] they're gold-plated altar candlesticks English circa 1885 ivory rosary 17th century Italian for here's one oak Rood screen mid Victorian 40 feet by 15 feet just to think for mrs.

Barnaby don't you ever answer the phone I called you half an hour ago outside the hours of silence I must have been cleaning the bathroom no a young lady from Causton has been telling us how she and her boyfriend were enjoying themselves in your grounds when a nun came along and caught them was it you you can use the word sex in here Chief Inspector you won't be struck by lightning no it wasn't me probably mother Thomas she liked to walk in the grounds but odd she didn't mention it to you at the time isn't it it must have slipped her mind or else she decided not to bother us with something so trivial and unpleasant what about the deliberate Smashing of the chapel window would you call that trivial you think that was done by whoever it was mother Thomas caught in the Dell probably how do you know they were in the Dell it's a favorite spot mr. Barnaby we've all caught young couples there over the years you haven't by any chance found the stray pair of trousers around the place why if you lost some can I get you a drink not for me thanks mr. Norrington thank you for waiting how often do you visit your daughter we've been coming every three months since she entered the primary oh we're allowed what she's taking her final vows will be done two twice a year miss Katherine ever said anything to you about any bad feelings inside the convent maybe or someone outside with a grudge against the nuns she talks about how wonderful it is to be there devoting her life to God you don't approve she was such a normal happy child she's so clever Jade lots of friends she loved her clothes and I'm music all the usual teenage stuff and and suddenly in her mid-twenties she tells us she's gonna become a nun we find it baffling I must admit her Catherine's father was a devout Catholic that she never showed any interest in religion not as a girl aren't you Catherines fun my first husband died when catherine was two I married George a few years later he adopted her I'm her dad but not actually her father [Music] Kanchana safe journey mr. Barnaby do you think Catherine's in any danger we don't at this point know who the killer is so we don't know their motive but there's no reason to believe that the other nuns are in danger now goodbye inspector thanks very much Oh won by the way what was your first husband surname Catherines surname before she became Norrington virtue same as the village and up it's not strange this is father James B and I'm sorry I can't speak to you at the moment please leave a message I'll get back to you as soon as I can James it's Lauren I'm at your house where are you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Kate he's dead John I've not had time to determine much else it looks like another strangulation time of death no more than two hours ago probably quite a business you think it's the same killer certainly hope so type of arrange we decided later it's no sign of forced entry seven this is Hendrix's she had an appointment with father bill to discuss routine parish business talk to his parishioners find out who visited him at home anybody with a grievance usual stuff what are you gonna do going back to the Priory I can't pretend that I liked him as a man still it's shocking news would you mind telling me where you've been for the last say five hours where I always have here I cleaned the bathroom talk to you had lunch since then I've been struggling to get to grips with the accounts they used to be mother Thomas's province now how did mother Thomas and father BM get on she had a little more sympathy with some of his ideas and the rest of us but mother Thomas was an excellent mimic and I'm sorry to say but she rather excelled at doing father bien sister Katherine I'm afraid I have some distressing news father bein was murdered earlier today was it like mother Thomas it appears so yes tell me what you've been doing all day please I was on kitchen duty this morning and there was washing to do my parents came I spent about an hour with them they left just before lunch after that I spent some time in the library writing then came out here so you've been alone for much of the afternoon though yes it's beautiful here isn't it very you're the virtue heir their seemly reason to tell them but if the community doesn't survive then you will inherit all this that's correct mr. Barnaby but not at all important because it will survive I'll see to that your mother and stepfather no no I found out by chance when I was doing research for my PhD you didn't agree with father bein the places like this are an anachronism No [Music] the Bishop of Midsummer's inside he's holding a special Mass for father bin I've arranged for us to have five minutes with him when he's finished did you really need me for that it's not as if he's a suspect is it well I just thought yeah all right Jones any results from fingerprints yes just Lauren hundreds Hey what you call a bishop lately is this another one of your jokes no your excellency and remember to genuflecting graves I'm sorry the bleep meeting some circumstances would you like some coffee Chief Inspector and Detective Sergeant Jones no thank you sir not for me no I thought to ask you if you have any leads or anything like that I'm sure your tell me as soon as there's anything you think I ought to know that's a very refreshing attitude sir thank you is there any information you would like for me it would be helpful to get some background on the father being his family a were mostly Irish I believe I'd be writing to them of course I expect you want to know if he had any enemies hmm I'm sure you would tell us if you knew of any sir but no I was thinking more what sort of person was he how good was he at his job James bein wasn't an especially popular priest victim she must hated it was fallible as we all are what would father beings particular failings but who knows sells he was a little pompous and not terribly clever very conscious of the dignity of his office and implanted meddle in matters he didn't fully understand he meant well but the church doesn't send its best and its brightest to Midsomer mallow Milazzo thank you sir that's an illuminating and now I had to pay a visit of condolence to midsummer priori would it be they I'm Christian over to hope that the nuns don't ask me to stay to lunch about the Priory sir how many nuns constitute a community under the terms of the trust you know I think have a big question for the law as if it ever came to it I think the church would argue that too was sufficient the Vicky's nemesis time the truth about being sir pretty good turnout if it really was that unpopular they were paying their respects to the dead plus it's probably the most exciting thing to happen in this parish since the Reformation 100 was there it's a bit of a coincidence isn't it chief suspects mum finding the body I don't about chief suspect Duncan top officer all right but you really seems a double killing the 18 year old boy he's the only lead we've got so far Sara thinks Duncan's into drugs why was that joint at the del [Applause] [Music] such a bloody fool you go ahead and charge him sergeant a shot will do him good this is a large amount of cannabis mr. Henreid I'm afraid we're looking at a bit more than possession what time is Duncan to you home about hop was four I'll bring him down to the station myself all right one me there by 5:30 bag the lock [Applause] what were you doing I must have been too perhaps yeah I found some stuff in your room Duncan does that now oh she was there supposed to take you the police station himself just get away from here as fast as you can and we'll think about what to do war - yes - clothes lungs any that we does not like I've murdered anyone and where will you go I can service don't tell me you just go [Music] we must have got held up you stupid pathetic woman [Music] there's good news and bad news sir the good news is I think we've traced the silver dealer in Oxford well done and the bad news Matthew Hendricks says Duncan didn't come home directly telling the truth because he's furious sorry sir I was wondering if mrs. Barnaby might have some idea who Duncan's friends are leave it for tonight the Boyle Turner [Applause] [Music] this way gentlemen so how could I help you gentlemen by telling us how you acquired the midsummer Priory Chapel silver if you don't mind sir good afternoon mr. Barnaby mr. Jones what is it now Thank You Katherine good news for ins mother julienne we found your silver where a dealer called Peter de Winter is about to export it to a permanent Museum in Chicago he can be made to return it surely it appears mr. de Winter purchased the silver in good faith from a thief exactly it's a receipt for the sum of sixty thousand pounds signed by mother Thomas Aquinas I don't understand apparently she'd been negotiating with mr. de Winter for a while before calling the deal off then on Tuesday she called him again to say was back on and on Wednesday he drove here collected the goods and deposited a check in the convent account that night mother Thomas was murdered you believe there's a connection not an obvious one mr. de Winter has an alibi and in any case he acquired the silver quite legally that is mother Thomas's signature oh yes does this news come as a complete surprise I suppose not either Thomas always did favor the gas bill over tradition [Music] it looks as though we'll be able to buy those new hens after all Jerome you know what's bothering me James we've got two bodies and no idea the killer is what happened to Duncan's trousers and one's mother Thomas confiscated [Music] mind if we take a detour sir why I called Tamsin Bickford again also if she knew where Duncan might be hiding out his best mate lives in Riedel Avenue next right if I'm not mistaken leave al it dumped him so you're aware we found 103 grams of cannabis in your bedroom was it yours yeah I guess are you also aware that such a large amount renders you liable to a charge of dealing Class B drugs it was for personal use quite the stoner aren't you we're not really interested in the drugs that's a uniform matter we want to know about that night the Priory Oh which night was there more than one no okay so me and a few Mesa cider took climb the wall for a laugh maybe a few balls got choked but that was a and did you go back alone a few nights later no I didn't kill anyone I swear I'm out with that stupid priest saw father being what did he think I'd seen on my conscience wanted me to go and confess to him and did you know wait running to you not with me he said he'd go to my dad do you think he did I'm scared of him those people are right we'll take you down to the station where you will be charged with possession you might want to think about calling your parents on the way did you ever get your trousers back no and I'm a driving license in the pocket I'd only had it like a month all sorted he's an arrogant little so-and-so his name Oh thoroughly unpleasant but I don't believe he's our killer father Ben thought he was bein was wrong about most things according to the bishop what if being convinced Matthew Henry D was right and hundred killed bayen to protect his son then who really did kill mother Tom's forgetting about the silver mother Thomas was killed the day she sold a silver to de Winter is that a coincidence maybe sister Catherine found out what mother Thomas had done sister Catherine is obsessed by tradition Kyla Strunk on the other hand a mother Thomas selling the Chapel silver was a pretty blatant slap in the face for mother Julian wasn't it so you think it's an inside job then tatra phobic environment petty rivalries getting out of hand not really no [Applause] when we talked to de winter you asked him whether he was sure of mother Thomas's identity oh you're driving her every fancy dress shops tux a nun's habit isn't it anybody could put on the outfit walk into a dealer showrooms and so they want to flog the convent silver [Music] oh I think you're onto something Jones this case is all about clothes as net clothes and masks [Music] watch [Music] mother julienne it's time to confess [Music] it wasn't mother Thomas who found Duncan and his girlfriend in the Dell was it it was you I was just going to embarrass them and warned them off and the young man looked up I recognized him you see where I thought I did then I realized that the man I was thinking of would be middle-aged by now almost as old as me the man you knew in Africa is sure about that yes Duncan's father Mathew Hendrick has a collection of African tribal masks and Spears on his sitting-room wall that first day you told me you had been a missionary and I wondered where but you're only half right mr. Barnaby I didn't actually know Matthew hundred I saw him once I wasn't a nun then just a volunteer running a school in a village there was a ball game but we've been lucky even though we were near the border and it had no trouble until the day the soldiers came six of them - will write Mary Lazarus I got the Georgian inside the schoolhouse in tan - close the door [Music] [Applause] they killed 23 people eight of my pupils were left orphaned so when you saw Duncan you thought he must be the mercenary son but how could you be so sure you've just said you only glimpsed him many years ago when you were shocked and frightened I've never forgotten that face so you took Duncan's trousers and got lucky his driving license was in the pocket I wouldn't call it luck mr. Barnaby well like God's will yes I finally had a name for that monster and an address so I went looking but obviously you couldn't go in your habit no and the only Mufti I had were the clothes I wore when I first came to the Priory over 30 years ago [Music] [Laughter] [Music] I don't know the village at all well but it's not a big place I found the house in the end beautiful garden expensive cars in the driveway I've done a bit of research into Matthew Hendrick I know that he set up a private security firm specializing in overseas contracts mainly in sub-saharan Africa and he made a fortune did me as soon as he came to the door I knew it was him you don't remember me do you I think you must have the wrong house I don't mind who he is but I have to say mr. Andrade but you might [Music] to begin with he denied he'd ever been to Africa then he changed his shoes for something that you claim happened 30 years ago and a country that doesn't even exist anymore or maybe it's my mortal soul that you're worried about a higher power will take care of that mr. hundred I'm interested in an earthly restitution you're probably right I couldn't prove anything against you in a court of law but the court of public opinion won't be stood a particular neither will your wife or son say one word as a charity I very much admire called war wounds I'm sure you could easily spare a million or two for such a worthwhile cause shall we say to you didn't expect him to give in to a threat like that did you an a man who by your own account is a ruthless war criminal so one nun wearing glasses looks much like another especially in the dark how soon did you realize that it was Matthew entered killed mother Thomas thinking she was you almost at once but since I didn't tell Henry my name I thought he might not find out his mistake people go to prison for blackmail you know you must do as you see fit about that mr. Barnaby when I told father Byrne about it in confession without naming names of course he was really quite shocked why did Hendrick kill him do you think father beaten thought Duncan killed mother Thomas I suspect that he asked Matthew Henry to come and talk to him without saying why Hendrick assumed that you had told your priest the truth about Africa so Hendrick killed father being to protect himself what now will you arrest him circumstantially if I bring him in now and then have to let him go you will be in great danger and you can bet I will have to let him go because he will have a top-class lawyer I'm perfectly willing to take that risk as long as you wait until after the ceremony tomorrow No please be patient it might take a while but we will get him in the end is there nothing I can do pray [Music] receive is [Music] may the light of Christ guide you throughout your life and keep you true to the vows you have made this day through Christ hello well I'll see if he's in who is it please sir it's for you some woman says she's from midsummer Priory yes what do you want I want my money mr. Hendrick or rather war was money [Music] I don't know who you are but this isn't gonna work I think it will you pick the wrong victim mister what are you talking about I'm hanging up now and if you call here again tomorrow morning you will go to your bank and obtain a certified check for two million pounds made up bring it to me in the market cafe in Causton at noon I shall remain in full public view until I've deposited the check in the charity's account after that I'll take my chances but before I leave the Priory in the morning I'm going to write a note and place it in the safe it will tell the police exactly who to look for if anything happens to me [Music] [Music] cool hello [Music] no it's lunacy I will Sikes [Music] come now come here come where sir Jose where are you it doesn't matter come and pick me up from Causton Park quick as you can Sykes but the Julien has gone out of their mind [Music] [Music] seven to dominate segundo bevel to [Music] sanitary to him what porosity anti faction omnium popu Dora Newman I'd rather not see of their Jensen at glory and playlist as well [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Matthieu hundred i'm arresting you for the murders of mother thomas aquinas and father james beer take him away in charge would you feed who the hell trained her well done mother you all right I'm fine [Music] one for the family album [Music] grant this mercy O Lord we beseech thee for thy servant departed she may not receive in punishment the requital of the deeds who in desire did keep thy will and as the true faith here United her to the company of the faithful so may thy mercy unite her above to the choirs of angels through Jesus Christ our Lord [Music] Katherine Verdoux Katherine Norrington sister Katherine and now Mother Earth aneesa's it's gonna be the easiest time for you to make your final vows we take what's sent to us mr. Barnaby mother Thomas's death was a tragedy for the confident we'll survive do you really think so how are you going to attract fresh blood in today's world sorry bad choice of words as we always have will work and pray and her face who knows maybe sergeant Jones will find he has a vocation [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
