Door creaks
faint snoring
Shh. Shh!
No...
Bridey, it's me!
Alfie?
Are you alright, sister reg? I heard...
Sister Reginald: Sister boniface.
Meet my little brother.
Maggie said I weren't welcome back.
But I'm going straight this time, I mean it.
The prodigal son returning to the fold.
He scoffs she got a screw loose or what?
So, you get released from jail
and you decide to start a new life
as a law—abiding citizen
by breaking into a convent!
Can't a man visit his sister?
I thought I might stay for a bit.
Oh, no. No.
The reverend mother wouldn't allow it.
And why not?
It's not my fault I got banged up.
When I was a nipper, our dad asked me to join the family business.
How was I to know it mostly involved nicking stuff?
This is a convent, Alfie!
Not an halfway house.
Fair enough.
I'll have to take me chance with the old game then.
It won't be long before I succumb to temptation, but...
Perhaps prison is where I belong.
There must be something we can do.
We got some wine!
Needs shifting to the museum for a shindig they're havin'.
Lend an 'and. Keep your grubby fingers off the merchandise...
And I'll find you somewhere to stay.
I'm not sure the lord created this humble body for physical labour.
Well, he didn't create it for doing over post offices!
Prefer I tell the police an ex—convict attacked me last night?
When you put it like that, sis...
Where do I start?
Plenty of light.
It's perfect.
Just as perfect as that gallery in Kensington.
A London happening is too predictable.
I want to bring my work to the masses!
Why aren't we in liverpool, Manchester?
Heaven forbid, Birmingham.
The only masses here are sheep.
Where do you want this, mr ardwell?
Woman: Need anything else?
To wake up and realise it's a bad dream?
What's the matter with you, Francis, huh?
What's the matter with you, man!
You're here with the wine, uh, sister...
Reginald. "Reg" is fine.
Right, the rest is in the Van, just need to settle up.
This is more than you quoted last month.
Yeah, well, thing about wine is
the older it gets, the more valuable it becomes.
Since the refurbishment, the museum's finances have been hanging by a thread.
Couldn't we—— — is that Gerry ardwell?
Yes. Tonight's party is to celebrate the launch of his new exhibition...
Sorry, "happening".
How about a 10% discount for two free tickets?
Deal.
Massive fan.
Don't worry, you can come too.
She's a bit of a looker, in't she?
That's the virgin Mary.
It's not very big, is it?
Couldn't you afford the full—sized version?
It's the immaculate conception by Sebastian glendinning.
It's worth over £50,000.
He scoffs
and I thought I knew how to get money for nothing!
I should be shaking mr glendinning by the hand.
He's been dead for two centuries
but if you light that cigarette in my gallery
you might just get a chance to meet him.
I'll just fetch the rest of the plonk, shall I?
Get off me, bridey!
Stop it, now.
Sister Reginald.
I telephoned about the room.
No alcohol, no radios.
No guests, especially women.
Including nuns.
The front door is locked at nine every night.
Nine o'clock?
What if I'm out?
Then you will remain out, mr lynch.
I only make an exception for two of my guests
because they are officers of the law.
You've got coppers staying? Uh...
I... love coppers.
He'll give you no trouble, mrs clam.
If he does, he'll be swiftly ejected.
Payment is in advance.
Come along then.
I might as well be back in jail.
It can be arranged!
Indistinct chati'er
help yourself to a drink.
We make the wine at the convent.
Oh, do you? So...
That's the aftertaste, is it? Guilt.
He laughs
ardwell? Ardwell!
Thought you could hide yourself from me in the sticks, eh?
Far from it, Dickie.
I know how far you'd travel for a free bar.
Oh. Come on, tell. Tell my readers.
Which artist will you be plagiarising for this latest "exhibition"?
Readers?
Dear chap, I didn't realise you had any left.
Well done, you.
Oh, dear.
I don't... I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Oh, you are a philistine!
Where's your appreciation of beauty?
Oh, mr ardwell...
Excuse me, sorry.
Mr ardwell. Ruth penny, albion bugle.
I love your work.
Feeling's mutual.
May I have a quote about why you chose great slaughter for your exhibition?
How about I give you my telephone number first?
Penny: Well, let's start with the quote.
Dog barks outside
clock chimes
he sighs
Clock strikes the hour
She laughs
Having fun?
What do you know about this Gerry ardwell?
Bad boy of the British art scene. Very experimental.
Yes. Once spent 24 hours staring into a bucket.
What was in the bucket?
Oh, this is, uh...
Francis scritton, my studio assistant.
When I found him, he was a grubby little orphan
who could barely hold a paintbrush.
Not technically true.
Soon, thanks to my tutelage
he'll be the toast of the royal academy.
Sorry to interrupt.
It's time.
Duty calls.
Good luck.
Well, so... what are you working on?
Um, not much. Mr ardwell keeps me very busy.
Well, surely you need to have your own projects?
Well, there is one project.
I've been planning it for years, but I just...
Lilly ardwell. Gerry's wife.
Oh, his...
How do you do?
Glass rings
woman: Ladies and gentlemen.
As museum director, it is my enormous pleasure
to introduce the world renowned...
Gerry ardwell.
Crowd applauds
Gerry: Thank you, Madeleine.
Throughout my career, I have sought...
To deconstruct the walls of elitism
separating traditional art from...
The common man.
With my latest work, I go further.
Bridging the gap between artist and audience.
For the next month...
This is my home.
I'll not leave this stage, even for the most private of bodily functions.
When the museum's open
you may observe me however you see fit.
At night, the gallery is locked and alarmed
and I'll be incarcerated with these...
Other exhibits.
The artist as...
Living art.
Well, if you wish to glimpse the true nature of the art of Gerry ardwell
examine the contents of his bucket.
He laughs raucously
Owl hoots
I'll take that, just in case.
It's exactly as mr ardwell asked.
You know what he's like first thing in the morning.
Don't want to get your head bitten off, do we?
Madeleine: Gerry?
Tray cla'iters
Lilly: Oh, Gerry...
Oh, my god. — they gasp
Francis: Gerry? — Madeleine: Gerry...
Inspector...
Please tell me you'll find the immaculate conception.
We'll do our best.
But for now, our priority is mr ardwell's death.
Sorry for your loss, mrs ardwell.
It doesn't make sense.
We locked him in. He was all alone.
Rest assured, we will bring the culprit to justice.
Let us know if there's anything we can do.
Felix: What happened?
Oh, um... a window was forced from the outside.
Um, the victim suffered blunt trauma to the cranium.
No other wounds and, um...
Oh, and I found this.
What am I looking at?
Oh, discolouration on the plinth.
This figurine has been moved from its usual position.
See?
Oh, and there are blood traces on the base.
That's our murder weapon.
I'll check with the victim's blood type. So far no fingerprints.
So, someone breaks in via the window.
They go to steal the painting, not realising that mr ardwell's here
and then he tries to stop them and gets bludgeoned with a bronze figurine.
What about the alarm?
Oh. Mrs rigley?
Is the gallery alarmed at night?
Always.
I tested the alarm before the party and turned it on before I left.
If the thief entered through a window, it should've gone off.
And where's the control box?
My office.
Who else has access?
Usually only me.
I keep it locked.
But yesterday, I gave my spare key to mrs ardwell and mr scritton
so that they could store things for the party.
Oh, and Dickie Whitfield, the art critic
he'd driven straight from London
so I let him use the office to freshen up.
Thank you.
He sniffs
smells like old nuns.
I beg your pardon!
Old nun tobacco, my father used to smoke it.
Breath lessly: Mrs clam's neighbour...
Saw a man climbing out of her guesthouse window late last night.
It wasn't me!
I know who it was.
Knock on door
mr lynch!
Let me.
He knocks — Alfie!
Open up, it's the police.
He appears to have checked out.
Well, perhaps he went for a walk.
Mrs clam: Not out of the front door, I'd have seen him.
Oh!
For once, sister, your services may be surplus to requirement.
Is Alfie stupid? Yes.
Is he a lazy, selfish, greedy little toerag? Yes.
Sisters.
Morning. — sisters.
What was I saying?
Did Alfie kill mr ardwell?
Oh, not a chance!
To break in, disable the alarm and leave no fingerprints?
It looks professional.
Perhaps your brother was caught off guard.
Alfie wouldn't hurt a fly.
What about the snowsbridge job?
He was there, but...
Snowsbridge?
Sam: Payroll robbery.
Local Bobby tried to intervene
so Alfie's gang beat him up.
He was lucky to survive.
It was Alfie who told 'em to stop.
According to him.
He did his time. — where is he?
If you see him, tell him to hand himself in.
Let's go.
You gotta do something.
Well, like what?
Prove Alfie's innocent!
Thank you.
The alert has gone out.
Are you sure Alfie lynch is our man?
Sam: It was him.
I just, I can't work out how he forced the window without triggering the alarm.
Madeleine rigley said that she tested the alarm before the party.
What if lynch had an accomplice?
Someone who sabotaged the alarm during the evening.
Yes! Who had access to the controls in the office?
Lilly ardwell. — mm—hm.
Francis scritton and Dickie... — Whitfield.
Dickie Whitfield, yes.
Unless mrs rigley was lying.
She's looking at a sizeable insurance pay—out.
Start there.
I'll brief loseley
and then meet me at the tudor hall hotel.
I want to see what the victim's wife and little helper have to say.
Any updates on the ardwell case?
Nice hat.
What do you know about Dickie Whitfield, the art critic?
Or "drinkie Whitfield" as he's affectionately known, why?
Quid pro quo. See what you can dig up on him.
Anything to do with him and Gerry ardwell.
And if I dish the dirt?
Regular updates and then an exclusive interview with the officer in charge.
Well, how could a girl refuse?
Alright, swing by this afternoon.
Toodle pip.
He sucks his teeth
What happens if the press discovers that one of our sisters
is related to the murderer?
I told you, reverend mother, it weren't him. — clock chimes
how can you be certain?
Because... we have an arrangement.
Your brother is clearly a lost soul.
Oh, no, not with Alfie.
With god.
My family always has a relaxed interpretation of the law.
I am aware that among your relatives, there's a certain...
Criminal element.
Element?
The whole blooming periodic table!
So, I made god a deal.
A life of service in return for keeping my nearest out of the clutches of the devil.
You should pray for your brother.
And I shall pray for you.
Oh, lord.
I know Alfie ain't your finest work...
But help me find him. I just want to know he's alright!
Pssfl
she chuckles fair play, quick work!
I know what they think, but it weren't me, I swear!
Shh!
I need to hide.
Well, you can't stay here!
You'll stick out like a sore thumb.
Unless...
I went straight home. I was there until I opened up this morning.
And how well did you know mr ardwell?
We were at art school together.
Even courted for a little while.
Uh, just a silly fling.
Gerry was never the type to settle for one woman.
Before yesterday, I hadn't seen him in years.
Will that be all? I promised to update the trustees.
We'll be in contact if there's anything else.
Where's Sam?
Uh, I said I'd meet him at the hotel.
I should go. — no, no, no, no. Um...
I was looking at the scene of crime photographs
and there's something funny about the blood spatters.
For a nun, you have a disturbing interpretation for the word "funny".
It'll have to wait, sorry, um...
Our top priority is catching Alfie lynch.
She blows
she blows
I think you're right, sister. It wasn't Alfie.
I'm glad to hear you're on my side, sweetheart.
Peacocks cry
Francis: Alfie lynch?
No, sorry.
Well, he's a known criminal, staying at a guesthouse in town.
We believe he broke in, assisted by a person or persons unknown.
How long have you worked for mr ardwell?
Uh, about a year.
Were you close?
I never knew my real father.
Without Gerry, I wouldn't be the man I am today.
What exactly did you do for him?
Everything. Gerry generated a lot of ideas.
He needed someone to create the actual pieces.
Must have been galling, you doing all the work and him taking the credit.
All great masters had apprentices.
Knock on door
a message from sister boniface. She needs you at the lab as soon as possible.
Right.
Uh, hope you catch this lynch fella.
We will, and whoever he's working with.
Alfie: I know it was daft
right, but I was getting the jitters stuck in that room
so I hopped out the window and went to the pub.
Then this morning, I heard them coppers talking about the murder.
I knew I'd get stitched up, so I legged it.
Maybe if I explain to Sam that—— — sister Reginald: No.
He'll have Alfie banged up.
Yes, but...
Here, they're good, ain't they?
One of bridey's old brassieres and a couple of spuds I got out the kitchen.
Yes. Very, um...
Creative.
The thing is, um... I...
Do you mind stepping outside?
Important police work, sisters. Sorry for the inconvenience.
What's so urgent?
Um, fact...
If someone's hit on the head while standing up
you expect a wide blood—spray pattern.
Mr ardwell was already lying down.
See the two lines in the floor wax running from the stage to the body?
Felix: So mr ardwell was hit on the head while he was still sleeping
and then dragged to the painting?
There'd be a trail of blood, no.
Judging by the dilated pupils
I think Gerry was drugged...
Dragged to the painting...
And then hit with the bronze figurine, to look like he'd disturbed a thief.
Figurine thuds
chalk scratches
He clears throat
sorry, ahem.
These four had access to the alarms
any of them could've also drugged mr ardwell.
So which one of them's working with Alfie lynch?
Oh, we can't be certain Alfie was—— — the Bobby from snowsbridge?
Got beaten up by Alfie's gang.
He's a mate, and he's never been the same.
So I am gonna find Alfie
and I'm gonna put him in jail where he belongs.
With the police about, you're gonna have to stay in here.
What about lunch?
Try feeding your soul instead of your belly for once.
Wait, bridey.
I really am trying to change.
I'm unlucky, that's all.
You choose good or you choose evil.
Luck has got nothing to do with it.
That's easy for you to say, in here.
Not surrounded by temptation, like I am.
Oh, you think I've never been tempted?
I could have taken the easy route like mum.
Strutting down the high street in her knocked—off fur coat.
Half cut on gin.
Turning a blind eye while you lot divvy up the spoils on the kitchen table.
No.
I wanted a decent life
and an honest life.
It takes hard work.
Read it. You might learn something.
Door slams
What's all this?
Articles, where you criticise Gerry ardwell.
I'm a critic.
The clue is in the name.
"Gerry ardwell epitomises everything that's wrong with his generation
superficiality, egotism, obsession with celebrity.
Sam: Why do you hate him so much?
After his first exhibition, ardwell wrote a manifesto
declaring that "traditional art is dead".
He singled out one artist in particular
Robert eddington
dismissing his life's work as...
"Out—dated and irrelevant."
Sam: So? — Robert was my friend.
He killed himself a week later.
Left behind a wife and a child
so I hated ardwell, yes
but this was 20 years ago.
If I wanted him dead, why would I wait until now?
You tell me.
Someone at that party disabled the alarm to allow the murderer inside
and you had access to those controls.
He laughs
it's hardly in my skill set...
But if you are looking for an accomplice
what about the widow?
Huh?
Ardwell was a...
A known womaniser.
Hey, look at this.
"Gerry ardwell with fiancée maddy rigley."
Well... what if Dickie's right?
What if Lilly knew that ardwell was here visiting an old flame?
May we come in?
Is there a problem?
No.
Have you found the murderer yet?
Not yet. We'd like a better idea of people's movements after the party.
Well, I walked straight back here with Francis
said goodnight to him downstairs and came to bed.
Ah... — why?
We're exploring the possibility someone else was involved.
Did you know that your husband and Madeleine rigley were once engaged?
Of course.
Gerry told me everything.
Ancient history.
Oh, that's Gerry's.
He could be quite a slob.
Uh, is there anything else? I...
He scoffs
uh, that look is broken, I think.
I called down to reception...
Sam knocks open up!
I won't ask again.
Lock clicks
Sam scoffs
Hand bell rings
Sister Reginald?
Imitating woman's voice: Mm?
Didn't you hear the bell?
We don't want to be late for chapel.
Sister Reginald.
It's just a bit of fun.
Gerry was always going off with other women.
It must have made you very angry.
No.
Well, yes, but I didn't kill him.
Lilly and I were together all night
so it couldn't have been either of us.
Forgive us if we're sceptical of the widow and her new lover
exchanging alibis.
The night Porter can confirm that we arrived back together
and didn't leave until after breakfast.
Nonetheless, either of you could've drugged mr ardwell and cut the alarm
ready for mr lynch to come and do the rest. — Lilly scoffs
I've never even heard of the man until today.
We've only got your word for that.
Nuns sing: ♪ o, blessed Jesus ♪
♪ hear and answer me ♪ — Alfie sings deeply
♪ deep in thy wounds, lord ♪

As I've already mentioned, we have an interesting visitor here today.
Someone who will be familiar to many of you, I'm sure.
Father brown.
Thank you, reverend mother.
Sister boniface...
Ahem.
It is reassuring to see...
That your community is not only surviving
but thriving.
I even see some fresh faces sat here today.
He knows.
They whisper
Sister Reginald...
Sister boniface and guest...
Please remain behind after chapel.
I really don't mind staying—— — uh, convent business, father.
What were you thinking?
Bringing a known criminal into our holy refuge?
And then allowing him to desecrate your habit!
I never did.
I wouldn't, not in a convent.
I... — thud echoes
sorry about that.
He's mocking our very way of life.
If I may... — no, you may not!
I shall inform the police that we've discovered the whereabouts of the fugitive.
Aren't... aren't criminals meant to be given sanctuary by the church?
Oh, so you're admitting he's a criminal now?
Well...
He has sinned, yes
but he was raised in a family of sinners
and now he wishes to turn towards the light
and shouldn't we help him?
Sanctuary is an archaic tradition holding no basis in modern law.
I will not put the sisters in danger.
He's not dangerous, he's my brother.
And if you throw him out...
I'm going too.
I beg your pardon!
There's nothing else I can do but leave st Vincent's
and may I say, you might struggle to balance the books without me.
Sister Reginald, you are a highly valued member of this convent
but I will not allow st Vincent's to be blackmailed.
Very well, I—— — no, wait.
You can't do this.
This is your life.
I'm gonna turn myself in.
They'll throw you in jail.
Not if sister boniface catches who done it.
But... — but, bridey!
I never done nothing good my whole life.
Let me do this.
Well, that's settled then.
You'll clear my name, right?
Oh, absolutely, yes. 100%.
Or 90 at the very least.
Actually, let's say 85... — sister Reginald coughs
it's good enough for me.
I should go.
Sister Reginald: Alfie!
You might want to, um...
Getchanged.
Yeah.
It's a pity.
I mean, these things are surprisingly comfortable.
She sighs
Now, according to the post mortem
I was right, enough barbiturates in Gerry's bloodstream
to send him to join the choir invisible.
Right, let's talk motive.
Madeleine rigley, she's a jilted ex—fiancée
needed the insurance money to save the gallery.
Lilly ardwell was sick of her husband's adultery
and stands to inherit his wealth.
Francis scritton, he was his love rival
and presumably envied his success as an artist.
And then there's Dickie Whitfield, whose friend, Robert eddington
was driven to suicide by Gerry.
And Dickie has the contacts to shift the painting on the black market.
Sister boniface: Now Lilly, Francis and Dickie were all staying at the same hotel
is that right? — the night Porter claims
he didn't see anyone leave during the night.
But if their job was just to drug Gerry and cut the alarm
then they wouldn't need to return.
Alfie did the rest.
If, for argument's sake, we say Alfie wasn't involved...
He's handed himself in.
Has he confessed?
No, not yet. — so, humour me.
Where does a wise man hide a leaf?
Come again?
In a forest.
Exactly, so where would he
or she hide a painting?
Madeleine?
We know that you and Gerry were engaged.
More than just a "silly fling" then.
Well, it must have hurt, when he ended things.
Madeleine: Actually, I ended it.
He was too chaotic, too egotistical.
Prepared to do anything for fame even if it meant trampling over others.
I didn't mention it because I wasn't sure if Lilly knew.
Then you won't mind if we search the museum and your cottage for the missing painting?
Be my guest.
Perhaps Felix had better luck at Madeleine's cottage.
Look, I've humoured you.
We're back to where we were. It's Alfie.
He must have hidden the painting somewhere before he handed himself in.
The only problem is he's refusing to tell us where he was lying low.
Sam, there's something I should tell—...
Unless...
Mrs clam said she saw Alfie at breakfast
which means he returned there after the robbery.
I bet it's been hidden under our noses this whole time.
Is this entirely necessary?
I'm sure they'll put everything back.
I should jolly well hope so.
I've already lost another paying guest today.
He'd barely unpacked his suitcase
when he found out that a murderer had slept in here
and he beat a hasty retreat.
What are you doing to my floor?
Perhaps we should wait downstairs, hm?
She huffs — shall we?
Sam sighs
sister, I think I've found something.
Oh, no, no, no, no. You mustn't contaminate the evidence.
Oh, fine.
Ah, look at that.
Perhaps Alfie lynch will start talking now.
He did it, didn't he?
Supposed to have a deal, me and god.
Only, uh...
I'm starting to think he's not listening.
Oh, but he is listening.
He wouldn't abandon you
and you shouldn't abandon Alfie.
The painting was found in his room.
I will find out who put it there.
Knock on door
can I help?
I understand you were a friend of Gerry ardwell's.
Well, not really.
But you were friends with Robert eddington, so this sort of thing must have brought back
all sorts of painful memories, best to talk about it.
Uh, oh...
Sister boniface: Oh, thank you.
Spiritual advisor? — yes, um...
It's a service we offer to... Help you deal with your loss.
I see. — oh!
Oh.. — silly me.
May I use your bathroom?
Knock on door
Lilly: Um, you alright in there?
Oh! Yes.
No harm done.
Such a...
Butterfingers.
All sorted.
So, you wanted to talk to me about...
I just remembered, I'm, uh...
Needed back at the convent.
Breakfast.
I ain't hungry.
Well, suit yourself.
I'll leave it here.
Do you have a Bible I could borrow?
Somewhere, I'll fetch it for you.
Thanks, love.
Someone wiser than me said it's worth a read
and I need all the help I can get.
Lock cla'ite rs
Bingo!
I forgive you...
For if you will forgive men their offences
your heavenly father will forgive you also your offences.
What is happening right now?
I believe he's found god.
Not another one.
Door opens
Lilly ardwell has a prescription for sleeping pills.
This is not a good time.
They share the same chemical composition as the drugs given to her husband.
So Lilly was working with Alfie?
No. — with Francis?
No.
Must you look so pleased with yourself?
Yes.
I can't face being alone in that big house.
Maybe you should move in.
Your husband's barely cold.
What would people say?
Who cares?
As long as we're together.
I should focus on my career.
I thought...
Just like you said.
Just a bit of fun.
Leaving us?
Francis: You have the culprit.
Seen this before?
It's Lilly's.
That's what you were doing in my bathroom?
That's for personal use!
Explains how Francis was able to sneak out during the night without waking you.
The fire escape runs below your bathroom window.
He could leave without you or the night Porter noticing.
I never went anywhere.
Oh, I think you did.
Francis grunts
sister boniface: You 'd already drugged ger/y
with the same medication and disabled the alarm.
You returned to the museum, moved geny's body
then hit him round the head to make it look like
he'd disturbed a burglar. — he grunts
and then, you stole the painting.
Lilly: Francis?
You think I'd kill Gerry, for what?
For money? For her?
Revenge.
For your father's death.
Robert eddington, the artist whose career Gerry destroyed.
Dickie confirmed that Robert had left behind a son
who was taken into care.
And you think that was me?
I spoke to mrs clam. When you pretended to be a guest
so that you could hide the painting in Alfie's room
you gave your name as "mr eddington".
Couldn't resist a final tribute to your late father.
If I'd stolen a priceless artwork, why dump it in a guesthouse?
To make sure that someone else was blamed for the murder.
I'm sure if we hadn't have found it
we would have received an anonymous tip—off.
And you can prove all this, can you?
Mrs clam seemed very confident she could identify you.
And while you were careful at the murder scene
to remove any fingerprints
the guesthouse was a different matter.
You were in a rush, and like the inspector here
struggled to lift up the base of the chest of drawers
wearing gloves, so you took them off.
Only for one moment.
He scoffs
he chuckles
he laughs
Well, as far as performance pieces go, I think Gerry would've approved.
At least I had shock value.
This isn't a joke, mr scritton.
Maybe you're right.
Gerry never cared about art anyway.
He wanted fame.
That's all.
He sabotaged my father's career, destroyed my life
to make that happen.
So you got a job with him so you could take your revenge.
I'm only sorry he wasn't awake
when I smashed his head in.
Francis scritton, I'm arresting you for the murder of Gerry ardwell.
You do not need to say anything, but anything you do say
will be written down and given in evidence.
For the record, um...
I'm sorry about what happened to your mate.
The... the copper.
If I could go back, I... — just keep your word.
Go straight.
Come here!
Phwoar! You need a wash and a change of clothes
and before you ask, you're not borrowing any of mine.
She laughs — thanks, bridey.
For never giving up on me.
I had my moments.
For which I'm sorry.
So, I've been on the blower to your Maggie
she's gonna give you another go.
How did you manage that?
Oh, your sister can be very persuasive when she wants to be.
No messin' though!

Ah. Good as gold, me.
I've even started reading this.
Um, did you steal that from the police station?
Borrowed it. — sister Reginald scoffs
come here... — he yelps

Reverend mother Adrian told me about the murder.
I was going to offer my assistance
but I see that you had everything in hand.

over a nice cup of tea?
I can think of nothing more enjoyable.
