Foyle's War - Broken Souls 8:35pm Sunday, 27 Jul 2008 Entertainment CC M In order to ease the boredom of the blackout, Foyle (Michael Kitchen) has taken up chess. His tutor is psychiatrist Dr Josef Novak (Nicholas Woodeson), a Polish Jew who works at Sackville House in Hastings. Sackville House has been requisitioned by the War Office for the rehabilitation of servicemen traumatised by war. Novak's family in Poland were rounded up and sent to a concentration camp by the Nazis while Novak was out of the country. Unable to return home or help his family, Novak had no choice but to come to Britain as an exile. When one of Dr Novak's colleagues, Julian Worth (Oliver Kieran-Jones), is found murdered, Foyle is called upon to investigate. There's no shortage of suspects as it becomes quickly apparent that Worth was not a well-liked man. Soon after the discovery of the body, Novak attempts suicide but is found just in time by Foyle and Milner (Anthony Howell). As he is carried to the ambulance, Novak implies that he was responsible for Worth's murder. Foyle is not convinced. News reaches Hastings Police station of a 14-year-old telegraph boy who is missing from his home in London. Tommy Crooks (Danny Worters) had been evacuated to Hastings earlier in the war and his father thinks he may have made his way back to the coast. When a German POW working on a farm near Sackville House is found dead, it is revealed that Tommy has good reason to hate the Nazis more than most and finding him becomes Foyle's top priority.
