00:17What is it, Father?
00:19An empty house with an open window.
00:27Should we call Edgar?
00:34I think we can manage ourselves.
00:41Welcome home.
00:42Oh, Father.
00:46Mrs. McCarthy.
00:52You should have told us you were coming.
00:55Oh, I didn't want to make a fuss.
00:57Have they been feeding you properly, Father?
01:00I think you've lost weight.
01:02I'm feeling better for it.
01:03What brings you back to Kembleford, Mrs. McCarthy?
01:06Oh, I thought it was high time I put my house on the market.
01:10Oh, apologies.
01:11I haven't congratulated you on your recent marriage, Mrs. Sullivan.
01:16Oh, yes, thank you.
01:17It's all rather new, but marvellous.
01:20You should come to the presbytery for tea.
01:23Absolutely.
01:25Yes, absolutely.
01:29Some Victorians believe the hydrangea plant brought misfortune or even tragedy.
01:36Blimey.
01:50Oh, please don't send us back.
02:00Care for one of my scones, Mrs. McCarthy?
02:03I won't, thank you.
02:06Not a patch on your famous offerings, I'm afraid.
02:10Oh, a long time since I begged a scone, Mrs. Sullivan.
02:13In fact, I'm experimenting with French pastry at the moment.
02:16Choe pastry.
02:18For fish rolls.
02:19Oh.
02:21And how is Ireland?
02:23Well, Roisin, that's my sister, has finally settled down with a good man.
02:28You must be very relieved.
02:30I am.
02:31Mrs. McCarthy, what a wonderful surprise.
02:34Oh, Sergeant Goodfellow.
02:36Chief Inspector?
02:38Just an inspector nowadays, Mrs. McCarthy.
02:40Oh.
02:41Thanks to Father Brown.
02:42Forgive the impromptu visit.
02:44The removal company called.
02:46My furniture is being delivered on Friday.
02:48All right.
02:49Good.
02:51So, is married life agreeing with you, Inspector?
02:54I'd say so.
02:56Sharing a house takes a little getting used to.
02:59Yes, it'll be much easier when my furniture arrives.
03:02Miss Palmer, just in time for tea.
03:05Oh, there you are, Brenda.
03:06And who is your new friend?
03:08This is Moira.
03:10Oh, my giddy aunt.
03:11Auntie Bridget, you came.
03:13Auntie Bridget?
03:14This is Rosie.
03:17Perhaps we should go inside.
03:20I'll show you both to your car.
03:22Oh, right.
03:23Yes.
03:23Yes.
03:30I run away.
03:31What?
03:32Run away from where?
03:34From Our Lady's good refuge.
03:37Where I was coming to visit you this very afternoon.
03:40The home for penitent women.
03:43Auntie Bridget sent me there.
03:44Did she?
03:46Yes, I did.
03:47Moira could hardly stay in Ireland.
03:50No sin, her condition.
03:52Sister Agatha, who runs a good refuge and is an old friend, agreed to take her in.
03:56And precious little thanks she gets for her trouble.
04:00How old is Rosie?
04:03Six weeks.
04:04So is her brother, Jack.
04:06Oh, twins.
04:08How wonderful.
04:09The most beautiful creatures I'd ever seen.
04:13But Sister Agatha took them away from me after only a day.
04:16Gosh.
04:17It gets worse.
04:19They're both going to be given away.
04:21Adopted.
04:21Like all the babies there.
04:23It's for their own good, Moira.
04:25And you knew very well that's what would happen.
04:28Yes, but I didn't think it was going to hurt as much.
04:31I telephoned Auntie Bridget and told her that my heart was breaking.
04:34And of course I was extremely worried and came as soon as I possibly could.
04:39So why did you not wait?
04:42Why on earth did you run away?
04:44I was scared that they'd be adopted before you got here.
04:47Where is Rosie's brother?
04:50Last night, I'd taken Rosie and I was about to get Jack.
04:54But Nurse Hyde, she caught me.
04:55I didn't have time.
04:56I just, I ran.
04:59That must have been very painful.
05:03But now, Auntie's here.
05:06And she can tell Sister Agatha to let me have Jack back as well.
05:09No, Moira.
05:10I can't do that.
05:12Why?
05:13We've been through all this.
05:15The children must come first.
05:17No.
05:17And in the meantime, Sister Agatha and Nurse Hyde will be worried sick about the pair of you.
05:22Nurse Hyde is cruel.
05:24She leaves babies in freezing rooms.
05:26Oh, now you're being hysterical.
05:28Moira, did you give consent for your children's adoption?
05:32No.
05:32I would never do that.
05:34Well, in that case, I will speak with Sister Agatha and Nurse Hyde.
05:39Meanwhile, you are welcome to stay here with Rosie until this is resolved.
05:46Father.
05:47Perhaps you will come with us on our visit, Mrs. McCarthy.
05:51I most certainly will.
06:08This place has seen better days.
06:10These girls hardly deserve a palace, Mrs. Sullivan.
06:21Sister Agatha, I can only apologise.
06:25I'm just relieved Rosie is safe, Mrs. McCarthy.
06:28Father, Nurse Hyde's office is just up here.
06:37Tell me, Sister Agatha, how long have you been in charge of the Good Refuge?
06:42Twenty years.
06:43Although I'm no medical expert, I mostly defer to Nurse Hyde.
06:47This building looks very historical.
06:50Shifting foundations, I'm afraid.
06:53The whole thing is rather unstable, in fact.
06:56Really?
06:57Unfortunately, we've raised money for the repairs.
07:01Work begins next week.
07:04Moira Fitzpatrick has shown scant regard for the well-being of her children, or the will of God.
07:10And yet, here you are, Father, harbouring her and making her case.
07:14I understand babies born here are typically offered for adoption.
07:19Children born out of wedlock should be brought up within a loving Christian marriage.
07:25Yes, absolutely.
07:26Of course, by law, mothers must consent to these adoptions.
07:33Rest assured, the process is entirely above board.
07:36Sister Agatha?
07:38Yes, of course.
07:47She signed the form.
07:56As this is our first visit to the Good Refuge, I wonder if you'd be good enough to show us
08:02around.
08:02Of course.
08:03I'll make sure the girls are presentable.
08:10If my husband died in the war...
08:13My condolences.
08:14Our daughter was born three months later.
08:16I assume from her uniform she attends St. Jacob's College, the most prestigious establishment.
08:22As I always tell my girls, a mother must make great sacrifices to give her child the best start in
08:28life.
08:36I hope I can count on you to do the right thing with Miss Fitzpatrick, Father.
08:57You certainly can, no sign.
08:59I need to see my daughter.
09:02As I've made it perfectly clear, men are forbidden from entering the Good Refuge.
09:06Clergyman accepted.
09:07This is from her doctor.
09:11Confirming that without this medication for her hypertension, she's in danger.
09:15Those pills could harm the baby.
09:17Says who?
09:18Good day, Mr. James.
09:20Father.
09:22What is your daughter's name, Mr. James?
09:25Clarice.
09:27Sister Agatha telephoned a week ago to tell me she'd admit it herself.
09:31I couldn't believe it.
09:32Was Clarice living locally?
09:35Training to be a nursing siren sister.
09:37With her whole future ahead of her.
09:40I've been here for the past three days.
09:42At the guest house right across the road, but I still haven't been able to speak to her.
09:45Oh, well, I just saw your daughter.
09:49Did you?
09:49Yeah, she was working in the laundry.
09:52She gave me this for her friend.
09:55Moira Jack will be adopted tomorrow.
09:58Clarice.
09:59I don't know this, Moira, but I know all about these adoptions.
10:03Oh, Clarice.
10:05I will pray for your daughter, Mr. James, that she should choose to come here, of all places.
10:18That wasn't me.
10:19I never signed any form in that place.
10:21You're surely not suggesting Nurse Hyde forged your signature.
10:25You have to believe me, Father.
10:30Um, this is for you.
10:32It's from Clarice.
10:34Really?
10:35She was very brave.
10:38Clarice is so kind to me.
10:39She knitted bonnets for Rosie and Jack.
10:43I need it.
10:47Tomorrow.
10:49No.
10:50I'm never going to see him again.
10:53I will return.
10:55First thing tomorrow.
10:57And I will urge Nurse Hyde to refrain from having Jack adopted.
11:01At least for the moment.
11:03No, then shouldn't we do what's best for the child?
11:06I quite agree, Mrs. McCarthy.
11:18Father Brown.
11:19I need to talk to Nurse Hyde.
11:22We're expecting an adopting couple at any moment.
11:25Which makes my request all the more urgent.
11:29Nurse Hyde.
11:31God!
11:38A lifetime spent delivering babies extinguished by St. Philomena, the patron saint of infants.
11:46Sparrow's the homily on irony, Father.
11:49It seems the victim was planning a more conventional departure.
11:57St. Jacob's.
11:58It's a considerable expense for a nurse.
12:01Even with a war widow's pension.
12:07Footprints.
12:09Yes.
12:10Thank you, Father.
12:14Is that a five-pound note?
12:22Money.
12:24Though none on her person.
12:30Inspector, a side door's been forced open.
12:33Someone broke in last night.
12:34Oh.
12:35More evidence of a robbery gone very badly wrong?
12:39Inspector, perhaps we should pay a visit to the nursery.
12:44That'd be a good reason for bringing us here, Father.
12:46Father.
12:50We don't use that room, Father.
12:56Where is Moira's boy?
12:58Moira?
12:58Well, that girl from yesterday.
13:01Moira!
13:02Moira!
13:03Moira!
13:04Moira!
13:07Moira!
13:08Moira!
13:08Moira!
13:09Moira!
13:09Heavens above!
13:10Is this door kept locked?
13:13We lock it at night.
13:16Where's Moira now, Father?
13:19She spent the night at the presbytery.
13:21Right.
13:21Silence.
13:28Sister Agatha called me.
13:30A tragic development.
13:31Certainly is, Canon.
13:33I trust it will be resolved swiftly, and with a minimum...
13:36We're on our way to apprehend a suspect right now, Canon.
13:38That is most encouraging.
13:40Oh, and, for your sake, perhaps Father Brown could keep his nose out of it for once.
13:45I couldn't agree more.
13:47Father Brown.
13:48Canon Fox.
13:50Sister Agatha will be reassured you are here so promptly.
13:53A tragedy in a diocesan house of God is most unwelcome news, Father.
13:58Indeed.
13:59Especially with the appointment of a new bishop so imminent.
14:02Stick to your job, Father.
14:04And let the inspector do his.
14:06Yeah.
14:13She's gone.
14:15Ah.
14:17The inspector thinks Moira took Jack away in the night.
14:20So do I, Mrs McCarthy.
14:22Hang on.
14:23Moira would not have left her daughter alone during her rescue mission.
14:31Miss Palmer.
14:33Miss Palmer.
14:38I didn't know anybody would get hurt.
14:43So where is Moira now?
15:01What's wrong?
15:03Sorry, Moira.
15:04I had no choice.
15:11Moira Fitzpatrick.
15:12I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Dorothy Hyde.
15:16Murder?
15:19I haven't heard anybody.
15:20Take the babies, Sergeant.
15:22Right, you're off.
15:22No!
15:23Fancy princess!
15:24We will take care of your babies, won't we, Mrs McCarthy?
15:28Yes, yes, we all will.
15:30Come on!
15:32Please!
15:38Please!
15:40Please!
15:43Please!
16:00Will you go to her, Father?
16:03I will.
16:07Tell me about last night.
16:09I got to the good refuge past midnight,
16:11and I was going to throw pebbles at Clarice's window,
16:13and then I saw the back door was open,
16:15so I walked in and I went to get Jack.
16:18How did you get into the nursery?
16:20The door was unlocked.
16:22It was like an angel was watching over me.
16:25Yes. And then?
16:27So I walked in, I took Jack and put a doll in his cot.
16:32As I walked past Nurse Hyde's office, I heard voices.
16:35Nurse Hyde and a man.
16:38Did you recognise his voice?
16:45I didn't kill her, Father.
16:47No. Of course you didn't.
16:50I believe you, Moira.
16:53I'm not sure Auntie Bridget does.
16:57Well, your great-aunt has some very strong opinions
17:00around the subject of motherhood.
17:03She doesn't think you're a murderer.
17:05Are you sure?
17:08Yes.
17:10I will do my utmost to see you reunited with your children.
17:16Ow.
17:20Oh, this is my cat thing.
17:23Oh, thank goodness.
17:25I'm out of practice.
17:27Have they been fed?
17:28Maybe 20 minutes ago.
17:30And changed?
17:31Mm-hm.
17:32Oh, well.
17:34Probably just tired.
17:37Ah, well, I see, Mum.
17:39Hmm?
17:40What you need now is a nice, long nap.
17:44Isn't that right?
17:46You're a natural, Mrs McCarthy.
17:48Yes, well, I've had plenty of practice for us
17:50with nephews and nieces and various gotchildren.
17:54Do you really think Mum's baby should be adopted, Mrs McCarthy?
17:57Yes, I do.
17:58She'll be sparing them a lifetime of shame.
18:02Surely children should be with their mother.
18:05And have people pointing fingers and whispering behind their backs.
18:16More, I just don't know the way of the world as I do.
18:21If there's one thing I know, she's no murderer.
18:32What's terrible news?
18:35The poor woman.
18:37A male voice was heard last night arguing with Nurse Hyde.
18:41And a bottle of pills was found near her body.
18:45Rezepine.
18:47Medication for hypertension.
18:49Will the police find your fingerprints on that bottle, Mr James?
18:55I had to get those pills to Clarice, so I forced the back door.
19:00But Nurse Hyde heard me.
19:01She went to her office to call the police.
19:04She said she was the medical professional and I was a criminal.
19:07Oh dear.
19:09What did you do then?
19:11I put the pills on her desk and I left.
19:16You seemed shocked that Clarice had chosen a good refuge.
19:21Her mother, my late wife, was adopted from birth and strongly opposed to forced adoption.
19:30Also, a good friend of Clarice's ended up in one of those refuges.
19:34She said it was barbaric, so yes, I was very surprised.
19:41Clarice has got to leave that terrible place.
19:52Oh.
19:53Oh.
19:58Well, quite the artist, Miss Palmer.
20:00I wanted to lift Moira's spirits until Father Brown clears her.
20:03Great to heaven he can.
20:05He's hopefully spoken to Clarice's father by now.
20:09You seem to quite enjoy the sleuthing side of things, Mrs Sullivan.
20:12Gosh, yes, I find it all terribly thrilling.
20:15Although the St Mary's accounts aren't quite as neat these days.
20:20Oh, I definitely preferred filling in ledgers to sneaking around.
20:24Of course, I always had a wonderful time working for the barber.
20:29I honestly think it's the best job in the world.
20:33So, are you really selling this house?
20:35Yes, I am.
20:38Only after all this is over, my dear.
20:41Father, how is she?
20:45Scared.
20:46And missing her children terribly.
20:48You believe she's innocent, don't you?
20:51I'm convinced of it.
20:52As am I.
20:54Any progress at all?
20:55Well, we can't discount Mr James.
20:57I'm convinced by his own admission he broke into the Good Refuge last night.
21:00He seems like a really nice man.
21:02And certainly a doting parent.
21:06May I?
21:14Ah.
21:14What is it?
21:15A possible solution to a conundrum.
21:19I need to return to the Good Refuge.
21:21Well, in that case, I am going with you.
21:36There are many things I miss about my old job, Father.
21:39But trespassing is not one of them.
21:41And now we wait a few moments.
21:46Nurse Hyde was clearly a stickler for organisation.
21:50Everything just so.
21:53Wait a minute.
21:55What's this W doing mixed up with all the B's?
22:00Alice Wright.
22:04Empty.
22:06Well spotted, Mrs McCarthy.
22:09Father.
22:13Excellent.
22:14What is?
22:15Well, as predicted, this footprint contains washing detergent.
22:19And I believe I know who left it.
22:24Father Brown.
22:26Medication finally delivered, I see.
22:28Yes.
22:29I've also convinced Clarice I'm not angry with her.
22:31I'm going to go home with me that night.
22:33Ah, happy.
22:34I'll come then.
22:36Clarice.
22:37Might I have a word?
22:39In private.
22:43Your father is surprised that you chose to come to the Good Refuge, given your late mother's opinions on adoptions.
22:51I was scared how would you act to this.
22:53I didn't know where else to go.
22:58What are you doing?
23:01I think the inspector will find that your shoe exactly fits the footprints found near Nurse Hyde's body.
23:09And as Hyde forbade goes from her office, she always kept the door locked.
23:13Unless you stole the keys.
23:15And used them to let Moira into the nursery.
23:24Moira needed money to run away.
23:26I knew I'd find it in Nurse Hyde's office.
23:28And I was right.
23:29The cupboard was full of it.
23:30From the laundry business?
23:32No.
23:34From Nurse Hyde's other business.
23:36What other business?
23:38Last week.
23:39I saw a couple here to adopt hand money over to Nurse Hyde.
23:43Paid adoptions.
23:45Surely not.
23:46It's true.
23:48Along with the money, I found this book of receipts.
23:55Nurse Hyde walked in and she snatched the money out of my hands and threatened to call the police.
24:00And I said if she did, I'd show them this book of receipts.
24:02And she let me go.
24:03If you didn't take the money, why was it gone when the body was found?
24:07Was it?
24:09May I borrow this?
24:12It could help secure Moira's release.
24:23Don't worry, I'm not getting broody.
24:26Are you sure?
24:27It's a shame we won't experience this, though.
24:30Maybe Ellie will give you a grandchild one day.
24:33Wouldn't that be lovely?
24:37So, um, we should talk about, uh, my furniture, where it's going to go.
24:44Yes.
24:45I really do think I'd feel more comfortable in that house, Isabel.
24:49Fewer ghosts.
24:51As it were.
24:52I understand.
24:53But it's a step for me, too, obviously.
24:57Moving some of my furniture out.
25:00Yeah.
25:00Yes.
25:01Of course.
25:08I've forgotten how lovely Mrs. McCarthy's house is.
25:13Are you really going to trust a wayward girl like that?
25:17Who drinks gin?
25:18Well, she's pregnant.
25:20Drinking alcohol may be irresponsible, but these receipts prove that Nurse Hyde was indeed selling babies.
25:27Selling babies.
25:28Selling babies.
25:28Oh, my heavens.
25:30How long on earth could she be?
25:34Oh, what is it?
25:38Oh, yes.
25:45I don't understand.
25:48How could Dorothy do such a thing?
25:51Your handwriting is very distinctive tease, Sister Agatha.
25:57Almost like miniature anchors.
26:00Oddly similar to those in Moira's signature.
26:03And identical to the ones in that book.
26:08Please tell me you weren't involved in any of this.
26:14It was Doris's idea.
26:17She said it was the only way to fund the renovations to keep our ladies' good refuge open.
26:22And you traded children to pay for building work?
26:25This place has been my life, Mrs. McCarthy.
26:29I couldn't bear to see it close.
26:31But you surprised Nurse Hyde preparing to abscond with the renovation money.
26:37Presumably to pay for her daughter's education.
26:42I cannot imagine how angry you must have been.
26:46I was angry, but I couldn't ever hurt Dorothy.
26:50Even if I'd wanted to.
27:15I just knew I had to hide my part in this awful business, but I couldn't find that receipt book.
27:20Have you no shame?
27:23As good as my witness.
27:25I did not kill her.
27:28Father?
27:43This isn't at all the place I thought it was.
27:46I should never have sent Moira here.
27:49You weren't to know, Mrs. McCarthy?
27:51Just the same.
27:52It's my fault.
27:59Miss Palmer brought them over.
28:02She's waiting outside.
28:05She says Jack and Rosie are doing well.
28:09Please say thank you to her and Mrs. Sullivan, Father.
28:12Oh, well.
28:15Moira, I'm doing all I can to end this separation from your children.
28:21I'm glad you came, auntie.
28:24And I'm glad Inspector Sullivan let me see you.
28:30I owe you an apology.
28:33For what?
28:34For doubting you.
28:36For not believing what you told me about the good refuge.
28:40For sending you there in the first place.
28:44Does this mean that I get to keep Rosie and Jack?
28:47Oh, Moira.
28:48The world can be a very cruel place.
28:51Those children have to be protected.
28:54And so do you.
28:56Moira, did you ever meet a good refuge residence by the name of Alice Wright?
29:01Alice?
29:03Yes.
29:04She had a boy.
29:06Rowan.
29:08The poor thing was born with a club foot.
29:11They put him in the cold room next to the nursery.
29:15Alice was so upset.
29:17What happened to Rowan?
29:19He was adopted.
29:21It broke Alice's heart.
29:24She sat out on a bench in the garden all day.
29:28And then one morning, she was gone.
29:34Sister Agatha said she was taken on as a domestic in Eastbourne.
29:41I have no idea why you brought us here, Father.
29:45Trying to find inspiration.
29:47Why did Alice Wright come and sit here?
29:52A mountain ash, according to me gardening book.
29:55Also known as a rowan tree.
29:59So it is.
30:01A horticulturist, as well as an artist, Miss Palmer.
30:05R.W.
30:06We've got now.
30:07Mum.
30:09Dedication from Alice to her late son.
30:12She died before mice.
30:25Oh, heavens.
30:27That's why she's here.
30:30Miss Palmer, please fetch Inspector Sullivan.
30:34We need to find Sister Agatha.
30:36Before it's too late.
30:38Yes, Father.
30:42Wish me yet more from my iniquity.
30:44And cleanse me from my sin.
30:48Amen.
30:55You killed her.
31:00You and Nurse Hyde were working together.
31:05And you helped her murder that poor baby.
31:08Who?
31:09Reverend Wright.
31:10Stay back.
31:17You knitted this for Rowan, didn't you, Clarice?
31:21Because Alice was your friend.
31:24Where did you find that?
31:26Alice buried it.
31:28In remembrance of Rowan.
31:33You're not really pregnant, are you?
31:35You came here to find out what happened to her.
31:38And to her baby.
31:45Alice wrote to me.
31:48She said Nurse Hyde had locked Rowan in the cold room.
31:53Because he was different.
31:57And she was terrified for him.
32:01And then, the letters just stopped.
32:05And I knew something terrible had happened.
32:07So you admitted yourself to the good refuge.
32:11And waited to examine Nurse Hyde's records.
32:14I didn't want money.
32:16I just wanted to know the truth.
32:37What on earth are you doing?
32:40You let Rowan Wright freeze to death.
32:44With his affliction, that child would have had no sort of a life.
32:48It was an act of kindness.
32:50Liar, you just couldn't sell him, could you?
32:52His mother would have loved Rowan forever.
32:55With all her heart.
32:59What did you do with her?
33:00Where is Alice?
33:01In hell, where she deserves to be.
33:04The girl died of a broken heart.
33:09She's dead.
33:11Because of you.
33:12I think you better leave now.
33:29Now, I know the truth.
33:32And you both killed him!
33:34Clarice, you want justice for your friend.
33:37But this is not the way.
33:40I had no idea what Nurse Hyde had done.
33:43Liar.
33:43When I found Rowan in that room,
33:46he was already dead.
33:47So help me God.
33:49Clarice.
33:52You must repent.
33:56Confess and seek God's forgiveness
33:57for the sake of your immortal soul.
34:00I am not the one who needs to repent.
34:07What did you do with Alice?
34:11I think you owe her an answer, Sister Agatha.
34:21Nurse Hyde persuaded me it would be best
34:23if we kept it all quiet.
34:29We buried Alice there.
34:33With Rowan.
34:46Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
34:51And let perpetual light shine upon them.
34:56Amen.
34:58Amen.
35:07I thought you'd rot in hell.
35:13I didn't know how to stop her.
35:16I'm not a bad person, Father.
35:21The death of a baby
35:22and her mother
35:26forced a sale of children.
35:29You were complicit, Sister Agatha.
35:33And that habit does not spare you
35:36from either blame
35:38or the law.
35:46How could you let this happen?
35:48Such cruelty, such evil.
35:51And in a place of God.
35:54Oh, my Lord.
35:57Inspector Sullivan
35:58has agreed to handle this discreetly.
36:01So all in all,
36:02satisfactory resolution.
36:06Satisfactory.
36:07Those women,
36:08those poor babes
36:09and all under your jurisdiction.
36:11You should be ashamed.
36:13Have you nothing to say,
36:15Father Brown?
36:16Mrs. McCarthy
36:17is very capable
36:18of speaking for herself,
36:20Canon Fox.
36:21All I'd say is this.
36:23It'll be a sad day
36:24for the church
36:25if you ever
36:26become bishop.
36:28Bishop.
36:30Bishop.
36:31Bishop.
36:32Bishop.
36:32Bishop.
36:38Oh, my angels.
36:42Hey.
36:43Hey.
36:44My little angels.
36:46Hey.
36:47Hey.
36:48Oh, thank you so much.
36:54Uh, Mrs. McCarthy.
36:57We're rather taken
36:58with you at home.
36:59Oh, well, thank you.
37:01We think it might be
37:02just what we need
37:03for a new beginning.
37:06So,
37:07we'd like you
37:08to name your price.
37:09Oh, my heavens.
37:13Absolutely delicious,
37:15Mrs. McCarthy.
37:16The best cottage pie
37:17in England.
37:19Oh, come now, Father.
37:20In Drostashire, perhaps.
37:22And
37:23with fish rolls
37:24for pudding.
37:25Oh.
37:28So,
37:30what next
37:31for you two?
37:32Well?
37:34Auntie Bridget
37:35says I can keep
37:35my babies.
37:37Maura's no angel,
37:38but
37:40anyone can see
37:41she's a natural mother.
37:44I'm delighted
37:45for you both.
37:46So,
37:47Mrs. Haddington
37:47has offered them
37:48all a place with her
37:49here in Kembleford.
37:51And where will you go?
37:52Oh, I shall
37:53return home to Ireland.
37:55I want to go
37:56with her, Father.
37:57Show these two beauties
37:58to Ma and Pa.
37:59And I've explained
38:00that won't be possible.
38:05An unmarried mother
38:06in a small rural town
38:09in County Cork.
38:10People have very close minds.
38:13Minds can be changed,
38:15as you have discovered.
38:17Be that as it may,
38:18if she turns up alone
38:20with two little babies...
38:22She wouldn't be alone.
38:25She'd have you
38:25by her side.
38:29Moira clearly
38:29feels brave enough
38:30to face the music.
38:31I suppose the question is,
38:32Mrs. McCarthy,
38:34are you?
38:44I can't wait
38:45for my family
38:46to meet them.
38:48What do you think
38:48your mum will say?
38:50She'll off them to bits.
38:52Once she gets over the shark.
38:56You've been a true friend, Brenda.
39:06Now,
39:07I've, um,
39:08laid everything out
39:09in the house,
39:10so packing it all up
39:12should be quite easy.
39:13I don't doubt it,
39:14Mrs. McCarthy.
39:15Um,
39:16I think what you're doing
39:17is wonderful.
39:18Oh, I don't know
39:19about wonderful,
39:19but maybe
39:21back home
39:22we'll find more
39:22kindness
39:23and compassion
39:24than I give people
39:25credit for.
39:28And
39:28we'll take
39:29good care of your home.
39:31We certainly will.
39:33And be sure
39:33to take good care
39:34of the father.
39:35And as for you,
39:37young lady,
39:37I really think
39:38you could make
39:39something of yourself
39:40if you put
39:41your mind to it.
39:43Thanks,
39:44Mrs. McCarthy.
39:49It's your own hymn book
39:50to remember us by.
39:53Thank you,
39:53father.
39:54But I've no need
39:56of a keepsake.
39:57You are firmly
39:58lodged in here.
39:59Always will be.
40:02But thank you
40:03for everything.
40:06Thank you,
40:07Mrs. McCarthy.
40:30Conan Fox,
40:32Bishop-Elect.
40:34The Vatican
40:34announced it
40:35this past hour.
40:37Well, I will ensure
40:38that our bells
40:39are rung in your honour.
40:42Although I fear
40:43the bells may be
40:43tolling for you,
40:45Father Brown.
40:46Once I take over,
40:47there'll be no more
40:48extracurricular distractions.
40:58Best listen to
40:58your boss,
40:59Father.
