| Keen to step out of Foyle's shadow and prove himself as a detective, the newly-promoted Detective Inspector Milner is called to investigate the death of Sam's new employer, a famous artist. He is disappointed when Foyle, on the trail of an absconded Russian prisoner of war, arrives at the scene.

He encounters an international cover up which, if exposed, could bring down the British government.

| Foyle investigates a case which is complicated by racial prejudice. Sam and Adam are now running a dilapidated local guest house where Mandy Dean is one of the residents. Disowned by her family, she is a young, vulnerable mother all alone because of the hostility levelled against her and her mixed-race baby. Her ex-boyfriend returns hoping to win her back, but then she is found murdered and the finger of suspicion points to a black GI at the nearby US military base - the father of her child.

| Foyle finally is allowed to resign and leave Hastings police station to his successor, his tenure as Detective Chief Superintendent over. After his retirement he makes plans to go to America to "tie up some loose ends" - an oblique reference to his determination to bring American Howard Paige to justice, since he was unable to in the episode 'Fifty Ships'. But before he leaves, he reads in a newspaper about the son of a distinguished local family who will be tried for treason for belonging to the British Free Corps, a unit made of Englishmen fighting for Nazi Germany. If found guilty, he will be sentenced to death. Foyle decides to look unofficially into the case. He visits James Deveraux in his cell and finds a damaged young man intent on self destruction, unwilling to do or say anything in his defence.
With time running out, he desperately searches for any evidence to clear Deveraux's name. Number Of Viewers: 6.391 Million (24.6% viewer share)[4] |
