Camille can you think of any reason why anyone would want to attack you . Um, some of the silverware on the altar might be worth stealing, i suppose. But nothing was stolen. We found these. Grown here. Rosary beads. Not the conventional weapon we encounter, which rather suggests it was someone from the convent. I cant believe what youre insinuating. Sister anne, if you dont help us, the attacker may strike again. Therese is dead. One of the other sisters may be in danger, or you may not be so lucky next time. Ive survived cancer and i have survived this. And mark my words, it has nothing to do with luck. God has saved me twice. He obviously has some plan for me. I brought you some tea. I was just i couldnt drink it. I mean. If its, you know, going spare. Why wont she talk . I dont know. But i know why she didnt drink the tea. I think they make it with your holy water. Thank you. Hey, isnt that dexters car . Mr. Dexter. Inspector. Sergeant bordey. This really isnt the best time to talk. And, to be honest, ive told you everything i know, so. Not quite everything. You failed to mention that youve been bribing people to say theyve been cured. Look, i have no need to bribe anyone. These waters cure people. Thats not what our witness says. Well, your witness is wrong. I dont think so. I think therese knew what you were doing, so you sent her a threatening letter. This again . Look, i barely knew the girl, so why would i send her a bible spouting letter . How do you know the letter quoted the bible . He said so. No, he didnt. Look, therese had less commitments than the other nuns. She had time on her hands, and. One day. One day, she saw me giving money to one of the pilgrims. Next thing i know, a list of contacts has gone missing from my car. The list we found in her cell. She came to me, said she knew what i was doing, and was going to tell father john if i didnt stop the bribes. I. I panicked. So, you killed her . No. I threatened her. I just threatened her. I admit maybe i was over the top with the bible bit, but i thought it was a language shed understand. But i did not kill her. Thats ridiculous. Anyway, i was with laura at the time of the fire. So she was keen to point out. Have you been here at the convent all morning . Most of it. Why . So you were here when sister anne was attacked . Attacked . Is she all right . Shes fine. Despite someone trying to strangle her. Did she know your secret . Was she going to expose you . Sister anne . Shes the poster girl for the holy spring. She, at least, has been cured. Why would i want her dead . So, thereses discovery of bribes must be what she was going to tell father john about before she died. Only someone made sure she didnt get the chance. Yeah. Have we got anything back from the uk on laura or daryl yet . Fidel nothing yet, sir. But, um, i finished dusting for prints on the rosary beads we found in the chapel. So . Any prints . Yes, only partial ones. Sister marguerites. Need a hand . Ive been at this for hours. Im really sorry to have to ask, but, um, we found your prints on the rosary. Thats because theyre my beads, dwayne. But why were they in the chapel . I must have left them there when i ran out of confession. You ran out of confession . I wanted to confess what id been thinking about. Which is . You. So ive still got it, then . Still got a massive ego. chuckles no, no, what i mean is ive been thinking about what life would have been like if id not come here. I thought i should confess, but when it came to it, i thought father john had a lot to deal with at the moment. Youve got nothing to confess, as far as i can see. Maybe not. But when god took my parents, i wanted a family so badly, and maybe i came here for the wrong reasons. You happy here, elodie . Completely. Except when my bike gets a puncture. Dwayne the nun. What . Thats her. The phantom nun. Hey police grunts sir, you need to see this. What the hells going on here . Mr. Dexter. Darling, are you all right . You have no right bringing her here. And whats the charge, hmm . Come on, darling, were going. Just a couple of questions before you go, sheila. Just got this from c. I. D. In england. We had them run background checks on both of you. Sweetheart . Whats going on . They know laura as sheila parker, a sussexbased nurse accused of killing her elderly patient. What was it the press dubbed you . The angel of death . Its not how it sounds. He was in pain. You left him the wherewithal to administer a lethal injection, promptly benefited from his will. Well, i was never convicted. It never even went to trial. Leaving a lot of Unanswered Questions and you a very rich woman. You even inherited the land you now own on saintemarie. Is this true . Im not a murderer. Look, this was all a long time ago. It has absolutely nothing to do with whats going on now. Then tell us, what is going on now . What were you doing at the convent . I cant say. Were you at the convent the morning of the fire . Well, you know i wasnt. scoffs tell them, daryl. Im not lying for you now. We werent together that night. I was on the other side of the island on business. So, neither of you has an alibi for that morning, then. Lock em both up. What . What for . We can detain you for questioning on suspicion of murder. So, why would laura masters make regular visits to the convent . She was spotted there numerous times before the murder. To plan how she intended to kill therese. Hmm. Then why was she there today . To finish the job on sister anne. I managed to find it, sir. Whats inside . Looks like. Medical stuff. Medical supplies . Do you think she was going to kill again . No, i think this time she was planning to save a life. Im sorry i was so short with you before. Its understandable, given what youve been through. How are you feeling . My neck is still a little sore. No, im sorry i mean the cancer. Cancer . Thats gone. You know that. Has it . Sister anne, would you remove your wimple and veil for me . Inspector, that is not permitted by the dictates of my convent or my faith. Or is it because it would betray your secret . You dont have any hair, do you . From the chemotherapy youre receiving for the cancer youre still suffering from. Laura masters has just admitted to me that she comes to the convent periodically to administer further treatment dressed as a nun. To avoid suspicion. What must you think of me . It didnt start as a lie, really. When i was first diagnosed with cancer, i started to drink of the holy spring. When i returned to the hospital, they told me that the tumor had shrunk. I was overjoyed. I knew that god had a purpose for me to save the convent. People would believe now truly believe. The holy spring would be our salvation. But after three months, i went back to the hospital just for a routine checkup, and the doctors told me that the tumor had returned. I couldnt believe it. But daryl said we neednt back out. He told me about laura masters being a cancer nurse, and that she would help me. I didnt want to lie. But i felt it was what god wanted. People were coming to the convent in such numbers, and gods word was spreading. I felt that the ends would justify the means. Then therese found out about your little fraud, so you killed her. What . No you had the opportunity to come into her room the morning of the fire. No what are you talking about . What about me . Someone tried to kill me. How do you account for that . I mean, i know i lied lord forgive me but do i look like a murderer to you . You know, i really thought we had our killer. I was sure sister anne killed therese to protect the fake spring from being revealed. I thought when i confronted her, shed confess, tell me how she did it, say three hail marys, case closed. clangs how did someone get in and out of that room . Im sorry. Thats okay. You know, sir, that cancer business it was brilliant. Well really. How did you work it out . Well, remember, fidel, things arent always as they appear on the surface. Especially when disguised by a veil and a wimple. Or. Or. Made to look like something else. Excuse me. Got it. Got what . Soot. On the inside of this lock. And i think i know why. Michael lannon. Oui. En quelle annee . Youre right, this wasnt in a fire. So, someone put it in afterwards. Exactly. A strasbourg. Je vois, merci. You still havent got into that . No. You think you can do any better . scoffs i may have a way. Uh, dwayne, are you sure that. . shatters and we are in. You found what youre looking for . Ive found exactly what im looking for. And ive found michael lannon. Sorry for the disturbance. But im sure youre all anxious to know who killed therese. Almost from the start, it seemed clear that this case was about the holy spring, and the fact that therese knew it was a fraud. A fraud . Yes. Im sorry to say that any cures you might have heard about are all false. And so much rested on that staying a secret for so many. But like everything in this case, nothing was as it seemed upon first appearance. You see, this case isnt about the holy spirit at all. And i realized that with the help of the good book. The count of monte cristo. Where nothing is as it seems. The mad priest isnt really mad, and, the, uh well, the count is no count but one edmond dantes, just as laura masters is really sheila parker, sister marguerite is really elodie francois, and father john is in fact michael lannon. You told me everyone has a weakness, and yours was a woman Ginette Pascal in strasbourg. So you were sent away, far from temptation, and the woman you loved to here, saintemarie. Then therese arrived, and the two of you began a relationship. You soon decided to leave together, so you bought two plane tickets to france. As you were going to leave the priesthood, you booked them under the name you had before you took holy orders. Michael lannon. We found out your birth name from the diocese in strasbourg. But someone discovered your plan to leave someone who couldnt let you make the same mistake again. Someone who felt they had to stop you making a fool of yourself throwing everything away for a woman. And thats what you did, isnt it, sister anne . Thats why you killed therese. Because you feared they were lovers. Father john, mother superior. Youre almost like an old married couple. You clean up after him, you nag him. Indeed, in your own way, you love him. You knew the mistake hed made in strasbourg, and you couldnt let his weakness destroy the relationship you had. You also knew that the scandal would destroy the convent. So, you had to get rid of therese. But how to make her death look accidental . God really is in the details. That is what you always say, isnt it, reverend mother . Therese took sleeping pills, often making her late for chapel, and she was also a smoker giving you the perfect means to make her death look accidental. Therese kept her cigarettes wellhidden, but im sure it was easy enough to steal a packet of laura masters cigarettes from her bag during one of her visits to the convent. You couldnt risk therese waking up and smelling the smoke by placing the cigarette too close to her face, so you placed it at the foot of the bed, assuming that any evidence would be destroyed in the fire. As the cigarette slowly burned down, it gave you just enough time to lock the door from the outside. You then took some gum, which you placed in the lock, so to the casual observer it would look like the key was still in it. As the fire took hold, you only pretended to try and unlock the door. As the door was broken down, you knew all attention would be on therese. As everyone rushed to save her, you put the key in the lock, dislodging the gum inside. But a tiny piece of the silver paper remained inside, betraying your method. As did the gum stuck to my shoe, which, with dna testing, will prove youre the killer. No. Someone tried to kill her, too. Yeah, im glad you brought that up, because it was that very attack that led us to identify sister anne as the killer. The attack took place here, just after confession. Of course, i cant know what was said, but i can guess by what happened soon afterwards. Father, i cannot tell you the nature of my sin. Only know i did it to protect you to stop you making the same mistake again. chokes, gags richard father john couldnt go to the police because he was bound by the confidentiality of the confessional. Sister anne must have known who attacked her but could say nothing, as it would expose her as a murderer. Both bound by silence. I cant lie anymore, child. Not here. Not before god. Its true. I had to save father john from himself. That pretty little thing had turned his head. You all saw that, didnt you . If hed left with her as he planned to, i would have been left alone. God gave me strength while you were at your weakest. But i loved her. No, not love lust. Thats all it was. Just as before. The only real love is here. The family. She was family. She was a devil no, sister anne, she she really was family. What . Therese, who called father john father every day, was being deceptively literal. Wasnt she, father john . She was my daughter. Your daughter . The daughter from his relationship with Ginette Pascal back in strasbourg. When therese turned 18, she was able to find out who her real parents were. Mother, Ginette Pascal. Father, michael lannon. Ginette died in childbirth. I couldnt claim the baby as my own, so i made sure to place her in the orphanage where i worked. But i was sent away, far from my own flesh and blood. Thats why she came here. So she could get to know me. Then, one day, she told me the truth who she was. I was overjoyed. Now shes gone. Forever. Why didnt you tell me . For the same reason you didnt tell me about the fake spring. To save the convent. But i would have welcomed her if id known would you . I wouldve done anything for you. Oh, please, forgive me. Please. Please. Only god can truly forgive. Poor woman. Poor woman . She lied, manipulated, and ultimately killed to get what she wanted. Dont be fooled by the little old nun act. Nothing is really what it appears . Exactly. Mmhmm. Well, are we going to arrest them for fraud . Unfortunately not. We dont have enough evidence. Ugh. Now i suppose you want me to hold up my left hand and show you that my psoriasis has been miraculously cured. What . I dont believe it it worked no, its that one. groans honestly, camille, sometimes your faith in the unscientific astounds me. So, im guessing this case has done nothing to ease your nun phobia. If i never see another nun again, itll be too soon. Relax, im not here to check your underpants. Have you two been talking . I have, actually. I thought sister marguerite could help you with your problem. Cortical steroids, for your psoriasis. For my psoriasis. Mmhmm. Science, you see . Not divine intervention. No offense. None taken. Ill drive you back to the convent. Okay. And ill go and get us some more drinks. Nothing for me. Im going to head off as well, actually. Fidel okay. Good night, sir. Yes, because youve got to get back to your monastic existence your cell . No, i have a book to finish. I want to find out if the count of monte cristo ever gets off that bloody island. Might provide me with a bit of hope. Well, i can tell you he does. Ah, fantastic. Yeah, but it takes him 14 years. Fidel, i think i might need that drink after all. chuckles nted by the tragedy of the titanic just one of the stories waiting to be unpacked in priceless antiques roadshow. theme music playing we hear a few bizarre tales on the roadshow which sometimes take us all by surprise. Today, Bunny Campione remembers the curious tale of one longsuffering teddy. Yes, that was done by my dog when it was a puppy. What . Bought a teddy bear for the dog we explore the enduring appeal of the story of the titanic. Marc allum why is it that the titanic means so much to us . Its folklore. Its almost a kind of macabre fairy tale to us now. And lars tharp recalls the day he thought he was seeing double. Usually they say, try not to have two interviewees. So who does this belong to . Women me. laughing over the years our specialists have handled all manner of beloved items. But its rare to find something as wellloved as a childhood toy, many of which are handed down through families for generations. These bears and dolls often hold powerful memories for their owners, as Katherine Higgins recalls. When im talking about toys and dolls, the stories that really make the difference for me are the ones that have a connection between the owner and the object. For instance, my best ever situation would be someone whod actually played with the object or the toy as a child. We may be looking at a doll from the 1960s, but my goodness, wasnt she fashionable . This is a tremendous collection here. The sindy doll collection that i saw in rotherham was quite amazing, actually. When she was standing in the queue i could see this big suitcase. And when she wheeled it over to me and i saw it, and one outfit came out after another after another, and it carried on and on and on, i thought, this is very exciting. In the early 60s, my father took me down every saturday morning with my pocket money and bought one of the outfits. So which was the first outfit then . There must be a beginning. I think the first one probably was this one. Right, the leather looker outfit. Yeah. 2 shillings and 11 pence, thats a reasonable amount of pocket money you had. Yes, it was. Higgins these were the original outfits shed had as a child. And not only that she hadnt always been given them. Shed saved her pocket money really hard to actually go out and buy them. Sindy was probably every girls dream doll, wasnt she . She was what they said the doll you loved to dress. Woman exactly. She has outfits designed by the carnaby street team tuffin and foale, who designed this lovely weekenders outfit that we can see here. Its very unusual to see girls whove played with toys i mean, im the first person whos guilty here, you know, of ripping open the packaging and getting so excited about dressing sindy that i didnt keep the little hangers, and i didnt keep all the things that shed kept. So that was the really exhilarating thing for me. Have you any idea at all how much inflation has brought these prices up to and just the insatiable appetite for collectors . Ive not really thought about the value of them because they are sentimental. Yes. But my husband said id be disappointed today. She thought what she had was pretty lowbrow in terms of value. Shed remembered what she paid in pennies really for some of the outfits. I dont think she really thought that they had appreciated terribly much today. When you look at the price of an individual sindy doll, if she was still in her box, she could be worth as much as £225, 250, Something Like that. Unboxed in this condition, probably around about £50. Something like that. Mmhmm. Shed kept all the packaging, but she didnt have the boxes for her dolls, so that was a bit naughty really. If we do a quick totup, youre looking at a collection that is approaching probably about £1,000 in value. Really . Yes, as much as £1,000. So tell your husband that. laughing bruce Bunny Campione knows that bears can occupy a very special place in the family. It belongs to my aunt. She originally bought it at a summer fair for half a crown 30 years ago. So its quite old. And did she buy it for any particular reason . She actually bought it for her dog to play with. What . Bought a teddy bear for the dog it used to pinch the babys toys, which is quite amusing. So she got it that. The dog must have been the sweetest, kindest, gentlest little dog in the world cause all he did was chew a little bit of a paw. And arent you and she lucky that it only did that damage . Because this chap is a very very important bear. Hes by the firm of steiff in germany. The mother had taken the steiff it was a steiff steiff button out of the ear. Man she pulled it out cause she thought the dog would swallow it and choke on it. Thats the first time ive ever heard the dog rather than the child. Have you got any idea what hes worth . None at all. Well, i think youll have to break it to your aunt quite softly, because if he were to go into a teddy bear auction, he would make in the region between £3,500 and 4,000. £4,000 . Youre joking. For the teddy bear . For a teddy bear. He just was speechless. And the dogs obviously not gonna be allowed anywhere near it again. Bruce at the other end of the spectrum are the serious collectors. And some are more surprising than others. I remember anastasia from carlisle so well. She was just brilliant. Anastasia comes from carlisle and she says shes rather disappointed to hear that were only in carlisle for a day because she she makes the point in her letter that shes at school and she can only get away between 12 00 and 1 00. Would it be possible to make an appointment . Well, indeed we did make an appointment for her to see hilary kay. Well, this is a lovely doll. Shes much too old to be anywhere remotely near you in age. anastasia laughs where does she come from . First would be my greatgreatgreataunt. Kay anastasia struck me as somebody who was passionate about the dolls that she had. Very interested in them, but really with quite an adult way of thinking about them. She wasnt wanting to play with them. She was very much looking at them as objects of antiquity and wanting to find out about them. She had a really great attitude. Their greatgreatgreat aunts father had gone on a business trip and brought that back. Was it a present for his daughter . As a present for his daughter. She had plenty of dolls that she could play with, and these were something special, and she recognized that quite right. You say youre careful . Mmhmm. Very careful . All right. Especially with these dolls. Especially with the dolls. Now this one, what, does it live in its box all the time . Yes. Okay. The value of that one i would have thought would be between about £800 and 1,200. Crikey. Crikey, yes. Bruce but some owners are less attached to their toys. My most exciting teddy bear was in Northern Ireland at mount stewart. And a lovely old man came in, and he had a very exciting bear, one that i had never handled. He hasnt been out of a bag for 40 years, at least. Youve been keeping him in a bag . My daughter has been keeping him in a bag. You kept it in a bag . Poor poor bear hes known as a teddy clown. They were produced on the 28th of february, 1926. They were introduc at the leipzig trade fair. Now 30,000 of them were made, and very few remain particularly in good condition. So to have the ruff and everything, and the fur, and the pads didnt even have any moth holes. Fantastic. Now have you got any idea of his worth . Well, some months ago i had an approximate valuation. He thought it may be worth between £2,000 and 3,000. So i said, well, put a naught on it. If you were to buy him, youd have to pay £20,000. gasps and he had the best reaction ever
