Where did the pink chit come from . Barton hall. Between you and me, i think it will help if you let me take a look at these files. All right. Thank you. These only go back to 38. How far do you want to go back . Well, how about the beginning . Mrs. Green, hello mum thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Wish me luck. Good luck. Got your speech . Yep. Remember not to answer the door to anyone apart from us. Glenvil. Indeed. Foyle. Weve had a security breach. Im afraid youll have to leave immediately. Cant wait one or two questions before i do. Youre not listening. Well, technically, neither are you. This isnt a y station, its an Interrogation Center in which at least one person has been murdered, so there are one or two questions. Were developing new interrogation techniques. The intelligence that we extract is passed directly to mi5. You see, violence can often result in the wrong answers a good interrogator seeks the truth without resorting to brutality. A technique not applied in palenkos case, it would seem. Palenko was rounded up in a general sweep. He had no identification. We suspected him of being a russian spy and went to work on him. He cracked and tried to take his own life. The man ross saw following palenko to the hospital the night he died, would that have been you, by any chance . buzzer rings you dont have the authority to question me or anyone else at barton hall. Sir . Escort mr. Foyle out. It is your duty to leave here and never speak of this again. Well, our ideas of duty obviously differ quite considerably. Good afternoon, sir. Excuse me, would you mind telling me who you voted for . No. Hows it. Good afternoon. Hows it looking . Its close. But this helped. Please tell me this wasnt you. Excuse me, do you mind telling me who you voted for, please . Mrs. Ross, im not at all sure how much comfort this will be to you, but your husband didnt kill himself. He didnt . No. When he returned home after the car accident, you mentioned he was eager to check some blood samples. Am i right . Yes. Were these samples taken at the accident . I believe so, yes. Where might we find these . Please. This must have been what he was last working on. Yes, this is the blood sample. And this must be the result. What does that say . Someone suffering from tickborne encephalitis. Fatal without treatment. I saw a lot of it in the camp. Sir . Yes. Galts file is on your desk. Thank you. Id like James Mcdonalds as well. Would that be a problem . Not at all. Good, thank you. Absolutely nothing to do with us. Too much of a coincidence to ignore. The mans given Carte Blanche to wander all over the place, and within 48 hours theres a major security breach. If thats the case, it was done without the knowledge or authorization of this office. Whats more, he turned up again this morning. Nerve of the man. And the wrong girl, why havent i been told about that . Ive only just heard about her myself. Youre not suggesting that foyle broke in . Of course not then who . Unidentified, but you can bet your boots hes connected to foyle. Well, how much does foyle know about the place . More than he should. And whos fault is that . Well, i didnt invite the blighter in all right, i accept there may have been mistakes. I take my share of the blame, sir. Charlotte sir . I asked not to be disturbed mr. Foyle. Foyle i do beg your pardon. Sorry to interrupt. Colonel . Pierce thank you, charlotte. Foyle, come in, you do have some questions to answer. Well, thatll make a change. The breakin at barton hall. How much do you know about it . Oh, only what i heard this morning. A girls gone missing. Another one . This is important, man. And we have reason to believe you know where she is. Shes in possession of confidential information. If it gets out, our entire work could be fatally undermined. It already has been. Explain yourself. At some point recently, was mcdonald absent from the unit . I said explain yourself. Im sick and tired of your damn questions. Occupational hazard, colonel. Would that be correct . Yes, i gave him 48 hours leave after the russian was interrogated. Why . And were you both present at that interrogation . Yes, mcdonald translated. Well, you wont be pleased to learn that hes been responsible for undermining your unit for some considerable time. James mcdonald . The russian even made a dying attempt to warn you. Tin eye. This is mcdonalds file. Does no one ever read these things . Whats the news . Its neck and neck according to my own poll. Not much we can do now. Well, thats good. Colonel galt. Mr. Foyle. Do you mind if i dont get up . Im not feeling too dandy at the moment. Cant seem to shake this bug off. Foyle well, im sorry to have to tell you, major mcdonald, but youre unlikely to feel dandy ever again. Get an ambulance. I dont understand. I do. You have a condition called encephalitis contracted through your tick bite. It attacks the Central Nervous system and is fatal without treatment. Your infection has gone untreated because the person who made the diagnosis and the only person in the position to be able to treat you is the person you murdered. Dr. Ian ross. You killed him in the belief that hed recognized you at the car accident; he hadnt. What he did recognize was the condition, as a result of the blood samples he took and that the condition cannot be contracted in this country. It is common, however, in parts of europe east berlin, for example which is where you were infected while escorting evelyn green into the russian zone. You two were at cambridge together, werent you . Well, i have all the time in the world. breathing heavily we met at the debating society. I was a postgraduate; she was younger. Highly intelligent and beautiful. Id never seen anyone so beautiful. We were kindred spirits. We were both sickened by the class system. The snobbery, the hypocrisy, the greed. Weve been lovers and comrades ever since. Palenko deserved to die. He betrayed the cause. Now were getting somewhere. Find out who she is. both speaking russian . Evelyn green. Evelyn green . Where . speaking Russian Foreign office. I dont trust him. Hell say anything. He could be a trojan horse for all we know. I agree. All the same, we should inform mi5 about this woman in the foreign office. Shouldnt we verify his story before we accuse someone of being a spy . We have no choice. We need to pick her up immediately. Do it. Sir . Something the matter . As a matter of fact there is, sir. Its my sisters husband, theres been a dreadful accident. Shes not coping very well. I was wondering if i. Palenkos not going anywhere. How much time do you need . 48 hours. 48 hours, then. Thank you, sir. Mcdonald i gave mi5 details of another evelyn green at a different address. Then i made a phone call. Evelyn greene on phone kensington 3487. Is your bag packed . Evelyn . Yes. Get out now. Meet me at paddington station. Evelyn had an inter zone id card. Wed prepared one for just such an event. What about palenko . I was ordered to return and silence him. discordant music playing yelling in russian mcdonald i knew that he couldnt speak english, but i had to be sure. I chased him to the hospital. How he ever managed to get there. I heard ross pronounce him dead. Hes gone. Mcdonald i thought he might have seen me, might have been able to identify me. All my life ive believed that communism will prevail. One state, one mind, all equal. Ive sacrificed everything for the cause. Everything. Now i wont live to see it. But it will come.

Thats just not true. Adam sorry speech. Come on. Whats happened to the girl . Back with her family. Will she talk . Shed sooner forget the whole thing, i think. Cant say i blame her. The man who got her out, i take it that was your doing. He certainly proved himself quite useful. Maybe we should encourage him to apply. Ill see what i can do. Take a seat, mr. Foyle. I cant close barton hall, if thats what youre thinking. It doesnt bother you how the intelligence that arrives on your desk is obtained . No, of course it does. But if you think the soviets arent using the same or worse methods, youre wrong. Well, im aware of what they do; its what we do thats the issue. But its intelligence that has saved many of our agents lives. I have to see both sides of the coin. Thats my job. But listen to me. Pierce is first class, but you have something i need, and i dont mean your inability to toe the line. Its just that in this rather nasty little war we seem to be fighting, id like to think that i have you on my side. And it might just be that working together, we could do some good. We could start with mrs. Ross, perhaps. Yes . Next time on masterpiece mystery . Meyerson carl strasser, nazi. Hes been an extremely valuable intelligence asset. We cant afford to lose him.

Appraiser a picture of you. And how old were you when this was. Woman i was 22. Appraiser 22. And, of course, its by the great, great painter Stanley Spencer. That is fantastic. How did your family or how did you know Stanley Spencer . Woman well, we lived in cookham, which is where Stanley Spencer lives, and my father was his doctor. Appraiser gosh. Woman and he got to know him very well. He was keen on art and things. So we used to go up there and have a look at his paintings when they were being done. Appraiser ah, what an amazing story. What sort of man was Stanley Spencer like . Woman he was a chatterbox, never stopped talking. And if hed come to a Cocktail Party or Something Like that, the only way you could get him to go home was to take him home. Appraiser really. laughter but was he good company . Woman oh yes. Appraiser fascinating. And i note i mean, its nicely signed, your portrait, Stanley Spencer, october 1959. And of course he died in 1959. Woman well, he was dying of cancer and my father said to my mother, hes not eating. Lets get him. So he came to our house, and to keep him occupied, hed draw me, and we gave him some food. Then soon after that he went into the hospital where he died. Appraiser so sad because he was sort of 68, i think, when he died. So a young man. Woman yes, really, yes. Appraiser and i mean, he really lived in cookham all his life, didnt he . I mean, it was this sort of paradise for him. Woman yes. Appraiser and he did a lot of biblical subjects, but set in cookham. Woman thats right. Appraiser but hes an absolute genius. And i think you can see by this portrait at the end of his life how wonderful it is. The attention to detail is phenomenal. He has that almost preraphaelite exactness. I think hes majestic. Now, have you ever had this valued . Woman no. Appraiser oh dear. Know what .
