To the Devil a Daughter

(bishop speaking in foreign language)

Excommunicate.

It is not heresy and I will not recant.

(bishop speaking in foreign language)

Catherine, are you all packed?

Come along, then.

Thank you, Sister.

Catherine.

This is the last time

that we shall see each other here, my child.

Catherine!

Father Michael.

Oh, Catherine, my child.

Oh, my child.

She is not a child any more.

Margaret's expected this afternoon.

Everything's prepared.

I'm sure that with your skill and devotion

and our Lord's blessing,

our work this day will be successful.

It's 20 years since I was in London.

There'll be a lot of changes.

I wish we were coming with you,

but Kollde will look after you.

And at the airport, your father's waiting to meet you,

so nothing to worry about.

Oh, I nearly forgot.

Father Michael said it would be all right.

But you mustn't open it till the day itself.

We must go.

You can dial direct now.

Catherine!

How time goes.

My life has been so much like hers, quiet and empty.

No more than that?

And full of expectation.

You look unhappy.

I've always cared for you.

I have important work to do.

Nobody requires me to be happy.

Shall I check with him about our plane?

Yes, check everything.

I'll join you later.

Right.

Mrs. Lane died in the night.

It was all for the best.

She didn't really want to hang on.

And Mr. Conrad was in looking for his wife.

Thought she might've admitted herself.

He was in a terrible state.

Was he on something?

I expect so, but we didn't--

The main thing is Margaret.

Yes, I'll bring her to the private wing.

I bet, all right, thanks.

Hello, John.

How've you been?

Oh, sorry I'm late.

It's all right.

He doesn't know.

He lives in a time warp.

A what?

- Hello, darling. - How are you?

- Fine. - Smile, please.

Thank you, nice one, Mr. Verney.

Is that the man who wrote the book?

Yes, Roger.

Tell him I hate it.

He can hear you.

Hate it.

- Do go away, Roger, darling. - I want to talk to him.

Still selling your books on sheer sensationalism, I see.

It's a living.

Okay, can I go now?

I don't know what the hell's expected of me.

You know exactly what's expected of you.

- What? - To do your stuff.

To be eaten alive by rattled women and men--

But I've done that.

This is interesting.

It's early.

I don't mean it's interesting because it's early.

But the fascinating thing is it's a thing,

a theme, that he comes back to again and again and again.

It seems to be a very personal sort of.

Have you seen the big one on the back wall?

No.

Would you excuse me just for a moment?

Hello, can I help?

This is a private view, but we're open every day.

I wanna buy a picture.

One of these pictures?

No, no, I.

Have you any other pictures?

Well, yes, I think we might have.

Would you like a drink?

Hmm?

Oh, yeah, thank you.

Look, I'm sorry to bust in on you like this

but the fact is I want to speak to John Verney.

Ah, I see, yes.

Yes, most people do.

Oh, I'm sorry, do you know each other?

Yes, yes, indeed.

Oh, well, in that case, let's see what we can manage.

There he is.

Come on.

John!

This is later.

You probably noticed the one in the hall in color.

- Same thing-- - Excuse me.

Who's that squalid creature who's hooked himself onto John?

They've been at it for 20 minutes.

The "Daily Express" man's furious.

You're responsible for all this.

Six Hail Marys, or the salt mines?

It all sounds quite mad.

You don't know these people.

They could be dangerous.

I think you'd be a fool to do it.

Well, I could be.

Then again, it might be interesting, and possibly lucrative.

You cold-hearted bastard.

Now, don't worry.

You'll get your 10%.

Don't do it, John.

We'll see.

I'll see you later.

Car service?

Thank you, no, thanks.

Lufthansa announce the arrival

of flight LHO7O from Munich.

Margaret, we are nearly ready.

How are you feeling?

I only think about the child.

Flight ahead, four-five-six and flight 70

are now at gate number three.

Can you see him?

I'll telephone the manor to see when he left.

You look after the suitcases in case he arrives.

(announcer speaking in foreign language)

Pardon me.

Are you Catherine Beddows?

Yes.

I'm John Verney.

Your father asked me to meet you.

He's very sorry he couldn't come himself.

He couldn't?

No, I'm afraid you'll have to make do with me.

Here, that's from your father.

No, he has to go right back.

Now, come on or they'll tow my car away.

(announcer speaking in foreign language)

Where's the girl?

- I don't know. - Where did she go?

She went with the other bloke.

(announcer speaking in foreign language)

Was it a good flight?

I think so.

You think so?

Don't you know?

I've never flown before.

Oh, I see.

How long have you been with the church?

All my life.

And always in Germany, huh?

Of course, that's where our church began.

Oh.

What's your church called?

The Children of Our Lord.

All this isn't what I expected.

Well, you're not exactly what I expected either.

Hello?

Is that the Radleigh Police?

This is Henry Beddows at the manor.

What?

Oh, no, no problem.

It's just that I'm going away for a few days,

and I've given my staff some time off

so the whole place will be,

will be unoccupied.

Yes.

So, I'd like you to keep an eye on it for me, would you?

Right.

Well, thank you very much.

Goodbye.

Hello?

Ah, missed it.

Do you think it was Father?

If it was, he'll call back.

Don't you worry.

Well, come on in.

Make yourself at home.

Well, what do you think of my little retreat?

It's very nice.

Thank you.

Would you like to take off your headgear?

No.
