‘Father Brown’: S08.E10. “The Tower of Lost Souls”
Chief Inspectors Valentine and Sullivan return to Kembleford
The Father Brown series eight finale opens with a body having already been found. Within seconds of the opening shot, we see Inspector Gerry Mallory (Jack Deam) arriving at the crime scene. Sergeant Daniel Goodfellow (John Burton) is at the crime scene when the police inspector arrives.
Inspector Mallory, with how he frequently wants to do the least amount of work possible, suggests the cause of death must be suicide. Sergeant Goodfellow correctly points out there is no suicide note.
George Oakley (Cal Macaninch), a caretaker and gardener for Helmsley Tower, discovered Reginald Brody’s body. Alistair Helmsley MP (Gyuri Sarossy), the owner of the tower, is shocked by the apparent suicide. Mr Helmsley is an elected member of parliament. The MP tells the police inspector if there is anything he can do to assist with his investigation, he can be found at his house.
As Inspector Mallory and Sergeant Goodfellow walk away, the MP turns to George and tells him that his wife Emily (Susannah Wise) has some jobs for him to complete.
