The following is a brief, official synopsis. For a detailed account of the episode, click here.
In this third episode of Foyle's War: A Lesson in Murder, David Beale (Nicholas Audsley), a conscientious objector, dies in police custody. A brick bearing a threat is thrown through the window of Gascoigne (Oliver Ford Davies), the tribunal judge who had him arrested and Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle begins an enquiry.
However, when Joe (Gregg Prentice), a young evacuee staying with Gascoigne, becomes the victim of a grenade booby-trap at the summerhouse, the investigation turns to murder. Foyle and Detective Sergeant Milner suspect someone is out for revenge and go through Gascoigne's cases for clues.
An imperious man in his late fifties, Gascoigne lives in a grand house with his intensely reserved wife Emily (Cheryl Campbell) and their daughter Susan (Sophia Myles). Susan has been banned from having a romantic alliance with Peter Buckingham (Elliot Cowan), because Gascoigne considers him beneath his daughter's station.
Sam Stewart, Foyle's driver, becomes friendly with Tony (Danny Dyer), an English-Italian waiter who works in his father's restaurant, where Foyle frequently eats. Tony confides in her that he has joined up, so she is shocked when he is found prowling around Gascoigne's house with his acquaintance Jack Winters (Christopher Fox).
Milner is sent as a bodyguard to Gascoigne but he is dismissed when he is accused of being caught in a compromising position with Susan. Within hours there's another murder.
Could the death of the young evacuee be a smokescreen for a maze of family conflict and prejudice against pacifists? And what is the real work of the factory?
