00:00What is it, Father?
00:19An empty house with an open window.
00:27Should we call Edgar?
00:30I think we can manage ourselves.
00:42Welcome home.
00:43Oh!
00:46Father!
00:47Mrs McCarthy.
00:48Father!
00:49Father!
00:50Father!
00:51Father!
00:52Father!
00:53Father!
00:54Father!
00:55Father!
00:56Father!
00:57Father!
00:58Father!
00:59Father!
01:00Father!
01:01Father!
01:02Father!
01:03Father!
01:04Father!
01:05Father!
01:06Father!
01:07Father!
01:08Father!
01:09Father!
01:10Father!
01:11Father!
01:12Father!
01:13You should have told us you were coming.
01:25Oh, I didn't want to make a fuss.
01:28Have they been feeding you properly, Father?
01:31I think you've lost weight.
01:32And feeling better for it.
01:34What brings you back to Kenbelford, Mrs McCarthy?
01:36Oh, I thought it was high time I put my house on the market.
01:41Oh, apologies.
01:42I haven't congratulated you on your recent marriage, Mrs Sullivan.
01:47Oh, yes, thank you.
01:49It's all rather new, but marvellous.
01:52You should come to the presbytery for tea.
01:54Absolutely.
01:57Yes, absolutely.
02:01Some Victorians believe the hydrangea plant brought misfortune or even tragedy.
02:09Blimey.
02:12Oh, please don't send us back.
02:29Care for one of my scones, Mrs McCarthy?
02:37I won't, thank you.
02:40Not a patch on your famous offerings, I'm afraid.
02:44Oh, a long time since I begged a scone, Mrs Sullivan.
02:47In fact, I'm experimenting with French pastry at the moment.
02:51Shoe pastry.
02:53Profiteroles.
02:56And how is Ireland?
02:58Well, Roisin, that's my sister, has finally settled down with a good man.
03:03You must be very relieved.
03:05I am.
03:06Mrs McCarthy.
03:08What a wonderful surprise.
03:09Oh, Sergeant Goodfellow.
03:12Chief Inspector.
03:13Just Inspector nowadays, Mrs McCarthy.
03:15Oh.
03:16Thanks to Father Brown.
03:18Forgive the impromptu visit.
03:20The removal company called.
03:22My furniture is being delivered on Friday.
03:24All right.
03:26Good.
03:26So, is married life agreeing with you, Inspector?
03:31I'd say so.
03:32Sharing a house takes a little getting used to.
03:36Yes.
03:36It'll be much easier when my furniture arrives.
03:39Miss Palmer.
03:40Just in time for tea.
03:41Oh, there you are, Brenda.
03:43And who is your new friend?
03:45This is Moira.
03:47Oh, my giddy aunt.
03:48Auntie Bridget.
03:49You came.
03:50Auntie Bridget?
03:51This is Rosie.
03:53Perhaps we should go inside.
03:57I'll show you both to your car.
03:59Oh, right.
04:01Yes.
04:08I run away.
04:09What?
04:10Run away from where?
04:12From our lady's good refuge.
04:16Where I was coming to visit you this very afternoon.
04:19The home for penitent women.
04:22Auntie Bridget sent me there.
04:23Did she?
04:24Yes, I did.
04:27Moira could hardly stay in Ireland.
04:29Not in her condition.
04:31Sister Agatha, who runs a good refuge and is an old friend, agreed to take her in.
04:36And precious little thanks she gets for her trouble.
04:39How old is Rosie?
04:42Six weeks.
04:44So is her brother, Jack.
04:46Oh, twins.
04:47How wonderful.
04:48The most beautiful creatures I'd ever seen.
04:53But Sister Agatha took them away from me after only a day.
04:57Gosh.
04:58It gets worse.
04:59They're both going to be given away.
05:01Adopted.
05:02Like all the babies there.
05:03It's for their own good, Moira.
05:06And you knew very well that's what would happen.
05:09Yes, but I didn't think it was going to hurt as much.
05:12I telephoned Auntie Bridget and told her that my heart was breaking.
05:15And of course I was extremely worried and came as soon as I possibly could.
05:21So why did you not wait?
05:24Why on earth did you run away?
05:26I was scared that they'd be adopted before you got here.
05:28Where is Rosie's brother?
05:32Last night I'd taken Rosie and I was about to get Jack, but Nurse Hyde, she caught me.
05:37I didn't have time.
05:39I just, I ran.
05:41That must have been very painful.
05:45But now, Auntie's here.
05:49And she can tell Sister Agatha to let me have Jack back as well.
05:52No, Moira.
05:53I can't do that.
05:55Why?
05:56We've been through all this.
05:58The children must come first.
06:00No.
06:00And in the meantime, Sister Agatha and Nurse Hyde will be worried sick about the pair of you.
06:06Nurse Hyde is cruel.
06:08She leaves babies in freezing rooms.
06:10Oh, now you're being hysterical.
06:12Moira, did you give consent for your children's adoption?
06:16No.
06:17I would never do that.
06:18Well, in that case, I will speak with Sister Agatha and Nurse Hyde.
06:24Meanwhile, you are welcome to stay here with Rosie until this is resolved.
06:31Father.
06:32Perhaps you will come with us on our visit, Mrs. McCarthy.
06:37I most certainly will.
06:54This place has seen better days.
06:56These girls hardly deserve a palace, Mrs. Sullivan.
07:08Sister Agatha, I can only apologise.
07:11I'm just relieved Rosie is safe, Mrs. McCarthy.
07:14Father, Nurse Hyde's office is just up here.
07:17Tell me, Sister Agatha, how long have you been in charge of the Good Refuge?
07:29Twenty years.
07:31Although I'm no medical expert, I mostly defer to Nurse Hyde.
07:35This building looks very historical.
07:38Shifting foundations, I'm afraid.
07:40The whole thing is rather unstable, in fact.
07:44Really?
07:46Unfortunately, we've raised money for the repairs.
07:50Work begins next week.
07:52Moira Fitzpatrick has shown scant regard for the well-being of her children,
07:57or the will of God.
07:59And yet, here you are, Father, harbouring her and making her case.
08:03I understand babies born here are typically offered for adoption.
08:08Children born out of wedlock should be brought up within a loving Christian marriage.
08:15Yes, absolutely.
08:17Of course, by law, mothers must consent to these adoptions.
08:23Rest assured, the process is entirely above board.
08:27Sister Agatha?
08:28Yes, of course.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:29Yes.
08:31Yes.
08:31Yes.
08:33She signed the form.
08:47As this is our first visit to the good refuge, I wonder if you'd be good enough to show us around.
08:54Of course.
08:55I'll make sure the girls are presentable.
08:57My husband died in the war.
09:05My condolences.
09:06Our daughter was born three months later.
09:08I assume from her uniform she attends St. Jacob's College, the most prestigious establishment.
09:15As I always tell my girls, her mother must make great sacrifices to give her child the best start in life.
09:21All that exertion can't be healthy for mother-of-the-war baby.
09:27They don't get paid either.
09:29Yes.
09:29Well, I'm sure Nurse Hyde knows best.
09:32I hope I can count on you to do the right thing with Miss Fitzpatrick, father.
09:38I hope I can count on you to do the right thing with Miss Fitzpatrick, father.
09:52You certainly can, Nurse Hyde.
09:54I need to see my daughter.
09:56As I've made it perfectly clear, men are forbidden from entering the good refuge.
10:01Glad you've been accepted.
10:02This is from her doctor.
10:06Confirming that without this medication for her hypertension, she's in danger.
10:11Those pills could harm the baby.
10:13Says who?
10:14Good day, Mr James.
10:16Father.
10:17What is your daughter's name, Mr James?
10:21Clarice.
10:22Sister Agatha telephoned a week ago to tell me she'd admit it herself.
10:27I couldn't believe it.
10:28Was Clarice living locally?
10:31Training to be a nurse and siren sister.
10:33With her whole future ahead of her.
10:37I've been here for the past three days.
10:39At the guest house, right across the road, but I still haven't been able to speak to her.
10:42Oh, well, I just saw your daughter.
10:46Did you?
10:47Yeah, she was working in the laundry.
10:49She gave me this for a friend.
10:53Moira Jack will be adopted tomorrow.
10:55Clarice.
10:56I don't know this, Moira, but I know all about these adoptions.
11:01Oh, Clarice.
11:03I will pray for your daughter, Mr James.
11:06That she should choose to come here.
11:09Of all places.
11:10That wasn't me.
11:18I never signed any form in that place.
11:20You're surely not suggesting Nurse Hyde forged your signature.
11:25You have to believe me, Father.
11:26Um, this is for you.
11:31It's from Clarice.
11:33Really?
11:35She was very brave.
11:38Clarice is so kind to me.
11:40She knitted bonnets for Rosie and Jack.
11:43I need...
11:44Tomorrow.
11:47No.
11:50I'm never going to see him again.
11:53I will return.
11:55First thing tomorrow.
11:57And I will urge Nurse Hyde to refrain from having Jack adopted.
12:02At least for the moment.
12:04But, Father, shouldn't we do what's best for the child?
12:06I quite agree, Mrs McCarthy.
12:19Father Brown.
12:21I need to talk to Nurse Hyde.
12:24We're expecting an adopting couple at any moment.
12:27Which makes my request all the more urgent.
12:31Nurse Hyde.
12:32A lifetime spent delivering babies,
12:44extinguished by St Philomena, the patron saint of infants.
12:49As far as the homily on irony, Father.
12:53Seems the victim was planning a more conventional departure.
13:01St Jacob's.
13:02It's a considerable expense for a nurse.
13:05Even with a war widow's pension.
13:11Footprints.
13:14Yes?
13:14Thank you, Father.
13:18Is that a five-pound note?
13:27Money.
13:29Though none on her person.
13:32Inspector, a side door's been forced open.
13:38Someone broke in last night.
13:39Ah.
13:40More evidence of a robbery gone very badly wrong?
13:44Inspector, perhaps we should pay a visit to the nursery.
13:47There'd be a very good reason for bringing us here, Father.
13:56We don't use that room, Father.
14:02Where is Moira's boy?
14:04Moira?
14:05What, that girl from yesterday?
14:06Hello.
14:16Heavens above.
14:18Is this door kept locked?
14:20We lock it at night.
14:23Where's Moira now, Father?
14:24she spent the night at the presbytery
14:28right, sergeant
14:29sister agatha called me
14:38a tragic development
14:39certainly is, canon
14:41I trust it will be resolved swiftly
14:43and with a minimum
14:44we're on our way to apprehend a suspect right now, canon
14:47that is most encouraging
14:48oh, and for your sake
14:50perhaps father brown could keep his nose out of it for once
14:53I couldn't agree more
14:55father brown
14:57colonel fox
14:58sister agatha will be reassured you're here so promptly
15:02a tragedy in a diocesan
15:04house of god is most unwelcome news

17:10yes
17:11Will you go to her, Father?
17:18I will.
17:23Tell me about last night.
17:25I got to the Good Refuge past midnight
17:27and I was going to throw pebbles at Clarice's window
17:30and then I saw the back door was open
17:31so I walked in and I went to get Jack.
17:35How did you get into the nursery?
17:37The door was unlocked.
17:38It was like an angel was watching over me.
17:42Yes. And then?
17:44So I walked in, I took Jack and put a doll in his cot.
17:49As I walked past Nurse Hyde's office, I heard voices.
17:53Nurse Hyde and a man.
17:55Did you recognise his voice?
18:02I didn't kill her, Father.
18:05No. Of course you didn't.
18:08I believe you, Moira.
18:12I'm not sure Auntie Bridget does.
18:15Well, your great-aunt has some very strong opinions
18:19around the subject of motherhood.
18:22But she doesn't think you're a murderer.
18:24Are you sure?
18:27Yes.
18:27I will do my utmost to see you reunited with your children.
18:40Oh, this is my cat thing.
18:43Oh, thank goodness.
18:45I'm out of practice.
18:47Have they been fed?
18:49Um, maybe 20 minutes ago.
18:50And changed?
18:51Mm-hm.
18:52Oh, well.
18:55Probably just tired.
18:57I'm not missing, Mum.
18:59Hmm?
18:59What you need now is a nice, long nap.
19:05Isn't that right?
19:06You're a natural, Mrs McCarthy.
19:09Yes, well, I've had plenty of practice with nephews and nieces and various got children.
19:15Um, do you really think Moira's babies should be adopted, Mrs McCarthy?
19:18Yes, I do.
19:20She'll be sparing them a lifetime of shame.
19:24But surely children should be with their mother.
19:27And have people pointing fingers and whispering behind their back.
19:31Oh, no.
19:32Oh, no.
19:39Moira doesn't know the way of the world as I do.
19:43If there's one thing I know, she's no murderer.
19:46What?
19:47Here.
19:47Here you go.
19:49Nice house.
19:55What terrible news?
19:59The poor woman.
20:01A male voice was heard last night arguing with Nurse Haid.
20:05And a bottle of pills was found near her body.
20:09Rezepine.
20:11Medication for hypertension.
20:12Will the police find your fingerprints on that bottle, Mr James?
20:19I had to get those pills to Clarice, so I forced the back door.
20:24But Nurse Haid heard me.
20:26She went to her office to call the police.
20:29She said she was the medical professional and I was a criminal.
20:32Oh, dear.
20:34What did you do then?
20:36I put the pills on her desk and I left.
20:42You seemed shocked that Clarice had chosen a good refuge.
20:47Her mother, my late wife, was adopted from birth and strongly opposed the forced adoption.
20:55Also, a good friend of Clarice's ended up in one of those refuges.
21:00She said it was barbaric, so yes, I was very surprised.
21:08Clarice has got to leave that terrible place.
21:11Oh.
21:24Oh.
21:25What part the artist, Miss Palmer?
21:27I wanted to lift Moira's spirits until Father Brown clears her.
21:31Pray to heaven he can.
21:33He's hopefully spoken to Clarice's father by now.
21:37You seem to quite enjoy the sleuthing side of things, Mrs Sullivan.
21:40Gosh, yes, I find it all terribly thrilling.
21:44Although the St Mary's accounts aren't quite as neat these days.
21:48Oh, I definitely preferred filling in ledgers to sneaking around.
21:53Of course, I always had a wonderful time working for the father.
21:58I honestly think it's the best job in the world.
22:02So, are you really selling this house?
22:05Yes, I am.
22:07Only after all this is over, right.
22:09Father, how is she?
22:15Scared.
22:16And missing her children terribly.
22:18You believe she's innocent, don't you?
22:21I'm convinced of it.
22:23As am I.
22:24Any progress at all?
22:25Well, we can't discount Mr James.
22:27By his own admission, he broke into the good refuge last night.
22:31He seems like a really nice man.
22:33And certainly a doting parent.
22:37May I?
22:38Ah, what is it?
22:47Possible solution to a conundrum.
22:50I need to return to the good refuge.
22:53Well, in that case, I am going with you.
22:56There are many things I miss about my old job, father.
23:11But trespassing is not one of them.
23:14And now we wait a few moments.
23:19Nurse Hyde was clearly a stickler for organisation.
23:23Everything just so.
23:26Wait a minute.
23:27What's this W doing mixed up with all the B's?
23:34Alice, right.
23:38Empty.
23:39Well spotted, Mrs McCarthy.
23:43Father.
23:48Excellent.
23:49What is?
23:49Well, as predicted, this footprint contains washing detergent.
23:53And I believe I know who left it.
23:59Father Brown.
24:01Medication finally delivered, I see.
24:03Yes.
24:04And I've also convinced Clarice I'm not angry with her.
24:06I'm going to go home with me dad tonight.
24:09Happy outcome then.
24:11Clarice.
24:12Might I have a word?
24:14I'm private.
24:19Your father is surprised that you chose to come to the good refuge.
24:23Given your late mother's opinions on adoptions.
24:27I was scared how I would react to this.
24:30I didn't know where else to go.
24:34What are you doing?
24:38I think the inspector will find that your shoe
24:41exactly fits the footprints found near Nurse Hyde's body.
24:46And his hide forbade girls from her office.
24:48She always kept the door locked.
24:50Unless you stole the keys.
24:53And used them to let Moira into the nursery.
25:01Moira needed money to run away.
25:04I knew I'd find it in Nurse Hyde's office.
25:06And I was right.
25:07A cupboard was full of it.
25:08From the laundry business?
25:10No.
25:11From Nurse Hyde's other business.
25:14What other business?
25:16Last week.
25:18I saw a couple here to adopt hand money over to Nurse Hyde.
25:22Paid adoptions.
25:24Surely not.
25:25It's true.
25:27Along with the money I found this.
25:31Book of receipts.
25:35Nurse Hyde walked in and snatched the money out of my hands
25:38and threatened to call the police and I said if she did I'd show them this book of receipts
25:42and she let me go.
25:43If you didn't take the money.
25:45Why was it gone when the body was found?
25:47Was it?
25:49May I borrow this?
25:51It could help secure Moira's release.
25:55It could help secure Moira's release.
26:04Don't worry, I'm not getting broody.
26:07Are you sure?
26:08It's a shame we won't experience this, though.
26:11Maybe Ellie will give you a grandchild one day.
26:14Wouldn't that be lovely?
26:15Yeah, so, um, we, we should talk about, uh, my furniture, where it's going to go.
26:26Yes.
26:27I really do think I'd feel more comfortable in that house, Isabel.
26:31Fewer ghosts, as it were.
26:34I understand, but it's a step for me, too, obviously.
26:39Moving some of my furniture out.
26:42Yeah, yes.
26:43Of course.
26:51Forgotten how lovely Mrs. McCarthy's house is?
26:57Are you really going to trust a wayward girl like that?
27:00Who drinks gin while she's pregnant?
27:03Drinking alcohol may be irresponsible,
27:06but these receipts prove that Nurse Hyde was indeed selling babies.
27:10Selling babies?
27:12Oh, my heavens.
27:13How on earth could she be?
27:18Father, what is it?
27:22Oh, yes.
27:23Yes.
27:24I don't understand.
27:35How would Dorothy do such a thing?
27:35Your handwriting is very distinctive tease, Sister Agatha, almost like miniature anchors.
27:45Oddly similar to those in Moira's signature.
27:48And identical to the ones in that book.
27:50And identical to the ones in that book.
27:54Please tell me you weren't involved in any of this.
27:57It was Doris, it was Doris, she said it was the only way to fund the renovations to keep our ladies' good refuge open.
28:08And you traded children, and you traded children to pay for building work.
28:13This place has been my life, Mrs. McCarthy. I couldn't bear to see it close.
28:17But you surprised Nurse Hyde, preparing to abscond with the renovation money, presumably to pay for her daughter's education.
28:30I cannot imagine how angry you must have been.
28:33I was angry, but I couldn't ever hurt Dorothy, even if I'd wanted to.
29:03I just knew I had to hide my part in this awful business, but I couldn't find that receipt book.
29:10You, no shame.
29:13As good as my witness, I did not kill her.
29:18Father?
29:33This isn't at all the place I thought it was.
29:36I should never have sent Maura here.
29:40You weren't to know Mrs. McCarthy?
29:42Just the same.
29:44It's my fault.
29:51Miss Palmer brought them over.
29:54She's waiting outside.
29:57She says Jack and Rosie are doing well.
29:59Please say thank you to her and Mrs. Sullivan, Father.
30:05I will.
30:08Moira, I'm doing all I can to end this separation from your children.
30:14I'm glad you came, Aunty.
30:17And I'm glad Inspector Sullivan let me see you.
30:24I owe you an apology.
30:26For what?
30:27For doubting you.
30:29For not believing what you told me about the Good Refuge.
30:33For sending you there in the first place.
30:38Does this mean that I get to keep Rosie and Jack?
30:41Oh, Moira.
30:42The world can be a very cruel place.
30:46Those children have to be protected.
30:49And so do you.
30:51Moira, did you ever meet a Good Refuge resident by the name of Alice Wright?
30:56Alice?
30:57Yes.
30:57Yes.
30:59She had a boy.
31:01Rowan.
31:03The poor thing was born with a club foot.
31:07They put him in the cold room next to the nursery.
31:11Alice was so upset.
31:13What happened to Rowan?
31:14He was adopted.
31:16It broke Alice's heart.
31:20She sat out on a bench in the garden all day.
31:23And then one morning, she was gone.
31:30Sister Agatha said she was taken on as a domestic in Eastbourne.
31:38I have no idea why you brought us here, Father.
31:40Trying to find inspiration.
31:44Why did Alice Wright come and sit here?
31:49A mountain ash, according to me gardening book.
31:53Also known as a rowan tree.
31:55So it is.
31:59A horticulturist as well as an artist, Miss Palmer.
32:03R.W.A.
32:04We've got now.
32:05Mum.
32:07Dedication from Alice to her late son.
32:11To what he died.
32:12Poor might.
32:12Oh, heavens.
32:26That's why she's here.
32:29Miss Palmer, please fetch Inspector Sullivan.
32:33We need to find Sister Agatha.
32:36Before it's too late.
32:37Yes, Father.
32:38Wash me yet more from my iniquity.
32:45And cleanse me from my sin.
32:48Amen.
32:55You killed him.
33:01You and Miss Hyde were working together.
33:05And you helped her murder that poor baby.
33:09Who?
33:10Rowan Wright.
33:11Stay back!
33:19You knitted this for Rowan, didn't you, Clarice?
33:22Because Alice was your friend.
33:26Where did you find that?
33:28Alice buried it.
33:30In remembrance of Rowan.
33:32You're not really pregnant, are you?
33:37You came here to find out what happened to her.
33:40And to her baby.
33:47Alice wrote to me.
33:51She said Nurse Hyde had locked Rowan in the cold room.
33:55Because he was different.
33:59And she was terrified for him.
34:05And then the letters just stopped.
34:09And I knew something terrible had happened.
34:11So you admitted yourself to the good refuge.
34:15And waited to examine Nurse Hyde's records.
34:19I didn't want money.
34:21I just wanted to know the truth.
34:22What on earth are you doing?
34:45You let Rowan Wright freeze to death.
34:47With his affliction, that child would have had no sort of a life.
34:54It was an act of kindness.
34:56Liar, you just couldn't sell him, could you?
34:58His mother would have loved Rowan forever.
35:02With all her heart.
35:05What did you do with her?
35:07Where is Alice?
35:08In hell, where she deserves to be.
35:11The girl died of a broken heart.
35:16She's dead.
35:18Because of you.
35:20I think you better leave now.
35:22And now, I know the truth.
35:40And you both killed him!
35:42Clarice, you want justice for your friend.
35:46But this is not the way.
35:47I had no idea what Nurse Hyde had done.
35:51Liar.
35:52When I found Rowan in that room, he was already dead.
35:56So help me God.
35:58Clarice.
36:01You must repent.
36:05Confess and seek God's forgiveness for the sake of your immortal soul.
36:09I am not the one who needs to repent.
36:12I am not the one who needs to repent.
36:12I am not the one who needs to repent.
36:17What did you do with Alice?
36:21I think you owe her an answer, Sister Agatha.
36:31Nurse Hyde persuaded me it would be best if we kept it all quiet.
36:40We buried Alice there.
36:44With Rowan.
36:45Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
37:03And let perpetual light shine upon them.
37:09Amen.
37:11Amen.
37:15I thought you'd rot in hell.
37:27I didn't know how to stop her.
37:29I'm not a bad person, Father.
37:34The death of a baby.
37:37And her mother.
37:38The forced sale of children.
37:43You were complicit, Sister Agatha.
37:48And that habit does not spare you from either blame or the law.
37:54How could you let this happen?
38:04Such cruelty.
38:05Such evil.
38:07And in a place of God.
38:10Oh, my Lord.
38:13Inspector Sullivan has agreed to handle this discreetly.
38:17To all in all, a satisfactory resolution.
38:20Satisfactory.
38:23Those women.
38:24Those poor babes.
38:25And all under your jurisdiction.
38:28You should be ashamed.
38:30Have you nothing to say, Father Brown?
38:33Mrs. McCarthy is very capable of speaking for herself, Canon Fox.
38:37All I'd say is this.
38:40It'll be a sad day for the church if you ever become bishop.
38:56Oh, my angels.
39:00Hey.
39:01Hey.
39:02My little angels.
39:03Hey.
39:04Oh, thank you so much.
39:12Ah, Mrs. McCarthy.
39:16We're rather taken with your home.
39:18Oh, well, thank you.
39:20We think it might be just what we need for a new beginning.
39:25So, we'd like you to name your price.
39:28Oh, my heavens.
39:30Absolutely delicious, Mrs. McCarthy.
39:35The best cottage pie in England.
39:38Oh, come now, Father.
39:40In Gloucestershire, perhaps.
39:42And profiteroles for pudding.
39:45Oh.
39:48So, what next for you two?
39:52Well?
39:54Auntie Bridget says I can keep my babies.
39:57Maura's no angel, but...
39:59But anyone can see she's a natural mother.
40:05I'm delighted for you both.
40:07So, Mrs. Haddington has offered them all a place with her here in Kembleford.
40:12And where will you go?
40:13Oh, she'll return home to Ireland.
40:16I want to go with her, Father.
40:19Show these two beauties to Ma and Pa.
40:20And I've explained.
40:22That won't be possible.
40:27An unmarried mother.
40:29In a small rural town in County Cork.
40:32People have very close minds.
40:35Minds can be changed.
40:37As you have discovered.
40:40Be that as it may.
40:41If she turns up alone.
40:43With two little babies.
40:45She wouldn't be alone.
40:47She'd have you by her side.
40:51Moira clearly feels brave enough to face the music.
40:54I suppose the question is, Mrs. McCarthy.
40:58Are you?
41:08I can't wait for my family to meet them.
41:11What do you think your mum will say?
41:14She'll love them to bits.
41:16Once she gets over the shark.
41:20You've been a true friend, Brenda.
41:23Now, I've laid everything out in the house, so packing it all up should be quite easy.
41:38I don't doubt it, Mrs. McCarthy.
41:39I don't doubt it, Mrs. McCarthy.
41:41And I think what you're doing is wonderful.
41:44Oh, I don't know about wonderful.
41:46But maybe back home we'll find more kindness and compassion than I give people credit for.
41:52And we'll take good care of your home.
41:57We certainly will.
41:59And be sure to take good care of the father.
42:02And as for you, young lady, I really think you could make something of yourself if you put your mind to it.
42:09Thanks, Mrs. McCarthy.
42:16Your own hymn book to remember us by.
42:20Thank you, father.
42:22But I've no need of a keepsake.
42:24You are firmly lodged any year.
42:27Always will be.
42:28But thank you for everything.
42:34Thank you, Mrs. McCarthy.
42:58Canon Fox.
43:02Bishop-elect.
43:03The Vatican announced it this past hour.
43:06Well, I will ensure that our bells are rung in your honour.
43:12Although I fear the bells may be tolling for you, Father Brown.
43:16Once I take over, there'll be no more extracurricular distractions.
43:20Best listen to your boss, Father.
43:30Best listen to your boss, Father.
43:50Best listen to your boss, Father Brown.
44:20Best listen to your boss, Father Brown.
