00:15Hello!
00:17Father?
00:19That's right, but probably not the one you were expecting.
00:24Oh, it's you.
00:27Father? Mrs Sullivan?
00:31How nice to see you again, Miss Palmer.
00:35Father Lindsay!
00:37What a lovely surprise.
00:39It is indeed.
00:41I come bearing this electrifying invitation.
00:45Oh, Lord Silk is throwing a surprise soiree for my uncle
00:50to welcome him back from Rome.
00:51Just the ticket to celebrate before his consecration.
00:55I'm quite sure my uncle wouldn't want any of you to miss it.
00:57It's not exactly something to celebrate though, is it?
01:00I'm sorry?
01:01Oh, what Brenda means is, we'll be there.
01:03Splendid.
01:05Also, I must confess to be in need of a favour.
01:09Preparations for the mass of consecration are frightfully behind.
01:12I don't suppose...
01:14Father Lindsay, I'm at your complete disposal.
01:16As is Brenda.
01:18You what?
01:19Marvellous.
01:20Chance to show off your new secretarial skills, Miss Palmer.
01:23Jolly good.
01:24And regarding the party, Mum's the word.
01:28Toodle-pip.
01:29Oh!
01:30Oh dear.
01:32A party with Canon Fox and Father Lindsay.
01:36What could possibly go wrong?
01:39What indeed?
01:40Indeed.
02:21Well, isn't this just spectacular?
02:25Must cost a fortune to eat.
02:34Why is this party in Hambleston, anyway?
02:37Lowly Father Fox used to be parish priest here, long before Father Lindsay.
02:43Thank you all so much for coming.
02:46Mrs Nettles, fancy seeing you here.
02:49As my parish secretary, Mrs Nettles is in charge of the consecration committee.
02:53Oh. Tell me these aren't the reinforcements you promised me.
02:58Well, yes.
03:00Mrs Sullivan couldn't organise the opening of an Envil Open.
03:03I wouldn't trust that Palmer girl to run my back.
03:05We can't hear you, you know.
03:07It's just that St Miriam's really hasn't been the same since Mrs McCarthy left.
03:12This is going to be a disaster, thanks to you.
03:15Oh. Oh, dear.
03:17What a delightful woman.
03:19Mrs Nettles is aptly named.
03:23Oh. It must be him.
03:25Everyone round the back, quickly.
03:27Oh.
03:36Bishop-elect Fox.
03:39Oh, Lord Edmund.
03:41How was Rome?
03:42Unbearably hot.
03:44But his holiness and I saw eye to eye on a great many things.
03:48To say I'm bursting with pride is an understatement.
03:52I'm sure I've seen that contraption somewhere before.
03:55Shall we join Lord Silk in the garden?
03:58I have a number of stipulations concerning my consecration mass.
04:02The first of which is that Father Brown must not be allowed within a mile of it.
04:07Oh. Really?
04:09Trouble follows him around like a foul smell.
04:12Although not for much longer, I'm pleased to say.
04:16You know, I really couldn't think of a better place to write the most important speech of my life.
04:22Absolute serenity is a must-have.
04:24Hooray!
04:28A surprise.
04:30Oh, how nice.
04:34Damien.
04:36Welcome back to our humble abode.
04:39Such an honour to host you before your midday.
04:42The honour is all mine, Lord Silk.
04:44Look, Lady Martha, it is good to see you.
04:46It's been far too long, Bishop Lecht.
04:50Farmer, I don't believe we've had the pleasure.
04:52This is Father Brown of Kembleford fame.
04:56Pleased to meet you, Lord Silk.
04:58Lady Martha.
04:59Your reputation precedes you.
05:01I'm a chum of Lady F's, do you see?
05:03Oh.
05:04A bit of a sleuth, I hear.
05:06Quite simply, the best.
05:08Canon Fox, may I offer my warmest wishes in advance of your consecration?
05:14And extend an invitation to St Mary's at your earliest opportunity.
05:18Great minds, Father.
05:20Paying you a visit was at the top of my agenda.
05:23Bishop Lecht.
05:25Mrs Nettles.
05:26It's been such a long time.
05:28Perhaps I could trouble you for a while.
05:30Actually, I could do with settling in.
05:32Oh, let me show you to your room.
05:34The rest of you enjoy the party.
05:35The Bishop Lecht will join us in due course.
05:44This place is incredible.
05:46You're very lucky.
05:48Strictly between us, Brenda.
05:49I find it stultifying.
05:51Stulti what?
05:52Comes with certain...
05:54expectations.
05:56With any luck, I'll be leaving soon.
05:58Why's that, then?
05:59To fulfil my dream.
06:01Of reading English at Cambridge.
06:03Oh, wow.
06:05My dream is to be a parish secretary.
06:08But I don't think that'll actually happen.
06:10Why have you not?
06:12Sometimes you just have to take a leap.
06:14You're tasked for Sunday.
06:16No mistakes, so you have to answer to me.
06:20Charm really isn't her forte.
06:22She just tried to enlist me.
06:25It's Father Lindsay I feel sorry for.
06:29But here he is, the man of the moment.
06:35Bishop Lecht, I can't tell you how proud I am to know you.
06:41To have supported your charitable endeavours and ambitions.
06:47All of which shows my appreciation for your unwavering support.
06:54For being there when I lost my dear wife, Grace.
06:58And for making my son Bertie...
07:01See sense.
07:02His sacrifice...
07:04Makes me so proud to this day.
07:07Not to mention...
07:09Your guidance of Martha...
07:11Who valiantly keeps her mother's spirit alive.
07:14So, without further ado...
07:16A toast to Bishop-Elect Fox.
07:19Bishop-Elect Fox.
07:21Thank you, Lord Silk.
07:23I'm indebted to my most honourable of friends.
07:26And to you all for coming.
07:29Especially Father Brown.
07:31As it enables me to make a very exciting announcement.
07:34You, Father, will be my guinea pig, so to speak.
07:38For a new endeavour for our diocese.
07:40A sort of pastoral exchange.
07:44You'll take over a parish in the highlands of Scotland.
07:47While we welcome Father MacDougall to St. Mary's.
07:51You can't do that.
07:53This is merely temporary, of course.
07:55Just for a year.
07:57Or two.
07:58Thank you, everyone.
07:59Shall we resume the music?
08:01Let us celebrate.
08:04Canon Fox, may I have a word?
08:07Please.
08:12This is my home.
08:15My flock.
08:18My family.
08:20Father, think how much better a priest you'll be without the distraction of your extracurricular activities.
08:27Canon, I dispute.
08:28Besides which, your endeavours with Flambeau and Father Lazarus have made you ignominious in the Vatican.
08:36Which doesn't reflect at all well on me.
08:39I see.
08:40Now, Kimbleford needs a fresh start.
08:43And you can't cause nearly as much trouble amongst the sheep, can you?
08:49That private large canon?
08:51Yes, indeed, Mrs. Nettles.
08:53No time like the present.
08:54I'll make that visit to St. Mary's first thing, Father.
08:58We can go over the finer details of your departure then.
09:05What's taking so long?
09:08Oh, there you are, Father.
09:13I'm afraid Canon Fox has made up his mind.
09:16Heavens above.
09:17To add insult to injury, Father MacDougall will be bringing his own parish secretary.
09:22I'm sorry, Mrs. Sullivan.
09:24Although you may stay on as housekeeper, Miss Palmer.
09:27Oh, what would you do?
09:28I don't believe this is happening.
09:31Well, let's try and look on the bright side, shall we?
09:35Perhaps it's for the best?
09:36The best?
09:38Yes, well...
09:39I mean, I will be able to do my job properly.
09:42No offence, Father.
09:43Eka.
09:43None taken.
09:44Please stop talking.
09:45Don't forget, I was demoted because of Hinton.
09:47This could be a fresh start for both of us.
09:52Well, you made a pig's ear of that.
09:55Just like you do with your investigations.
09:57You'd be lost without Father Brown.
09:59And so would I.
10:04Excuse me.
10:06Oh, dear.
10:06That's all I've done for you.
10:09You will regret this.
10:12Mrs. Nettles, I think it's time you left.
10:15With pleasure.
10:18I'm afraid I feel a migraine coming on.
10:21Thank you, everyone, so much for coming.
10:24But now, I think we should let the bishop-elect recover from his journey from Rome.
10:29Come on.
10:59Perhaps he got waylaid at Silk Manor?
11:01Indeed.
11:03I'll pop my head in.
11:04I'll accompany you, if I may.
11:06I would like to appeal one more time to his better nature.
11:12Father, I can think of nothing I'd like more.
11:17We didn't want to bother him.
11:20I just assumed we needed a good night's sleep.
11:29Canon Fox.
11:31Damien.
11:33It's locked.
11:37If I may.
11:44What on earth are you doing?
11:55Well done, Father.
11:57I thought you'd approve.
12:03Oh, my word.
12:05Oh, dear.
12:09Head between your knees.
12:19Looks like this was used as a weapon.
12:23The word of God himself.
12:24Given the bloody assault, the broken glass on the inside of the opened door, and the absence of the bishop
12:32-elect, I surmise that he's been abducted.
12:35You mean kidnapped?
12:36But why?
12:40Yes.
12:41Thank you, Father.
12:43When did you last see Canon Fox?
12:44We had a nightcap just after 10pm, then he retired here.
12:50I've telephoned quite literally everywhere.
12:53There's nowhere to be found.
12:55Good fellow.
12:56Let's get this place dusted for prints.
12:58Where are you, sir?
12:59Curious.
13:01What happened here?
13:05Intriguing.
13:05Fathers, please, not again.
13:09Oh, yes.
13:11Sorry.
13:12A thousand apologies.
13:13Inspector, important guests are arriving from all over the globe.
13:18It would be a disaster if the bishop-elect does not attend tomorrow.
13:22I will use all resources at my disposal.
13:25We'll find him.
13:27May I ask who else stayed in the house last night?
13:30Justin, Martha and myself.
13:32The staff had all gone home.
13:33Then, as soon as we're done here, I'll start with the woman who threatened Canon Fox yesterday.
13:38Inspector, I think it best if Father Lindsay and I leave you to it.
13:42Oh, really?
13:45Oh, yes.
13:47That's a toodle-pip.
13:49Fathers?
13:52Are you really accusing me of kidnap, Fathers?
13:56The thought hadn't entered our minds, Mrs. Nettles.
13:58We are merely trying to understand what happened yesterday.
14:03You said to Canon Fox, after all I've done for you.
14:06What did you mean by that?
14:08What we talked about is strictly confidential.
14:13But let's just say I know where the bodies are buried, or indeed where they are not.
14:20Are you trying to use confidential information for personal gain?
14:25To what end, Father?
14:28Perhaps you believe you should share in Canon Fox's elevation.
14:32Canon Fox should have taken me with him in the first place, not left me here to fester with this
14:37hapless comedian.
14:40I think that your attitude is incompatible with the post of a parish secretary.
14:45I think your puerile investigations are incompatible with the vocation of a priest.
14:52Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a consecration to prepare for.
14:58Mrs. Nettles, this is actually...
15:00Yes?
15:00...my study.
15:03Goodbye, Fathers.
15:09Oh.
15:11You can expect the police at any moment.
15:13I gather they're very keen to interrogate you.
15:27Ah.
15:28There you are, Father.
15:30Something I thought you should know.
15:32The butler heard Ray's voices last night, about ten o'clock.
15:36Canon Fox and Lord Silk.
15:38Then I will return and follow that up.
15:42I feel duty-bound to retrieve my future bishop.
15:46Even though he wants to banish you to the other end of the country?
15:49Brenda, it could be a way to stop this ridiculous exchange.
15:52I'd best get on.
15:54Good luck, Father.
15:55Likewise, Sergeant.
15:58Father Lindsay's on his way to the pro-cathedral.
16:00Are you still able to lend him a hand?
16:02I'm not sure what the point is without the star of the share.
16:05Well, I'll do anything to get away from Edgar at the moment.
16:08And I'm taking these to charity.
16:11Do you think anyone will want them?
16:13Erm, no.
16:16I wholeheartedly agree, Father.
16:19Shall we?
16:38I've had a letter from Cambridge.
16:40Oh, yes?
16:41They've offered me a place.
16:42I'm so proud of you, Martha.
16:45It's a shame about the timing.
16:47The timing?
16:47Well, as I retire from your mother's charitable work,
16:51you'll be expected to step into the breach.
16:54But, Father, it's all I've ever wanted.
16:57Well, you wouldn't want to let your mother down, would you, Martha?
17:01Of course not.
17:02My Lord.
17:03Father Brown.
17:06Lady, Martha.
17:08Lord Sook, may I have a word?
17:10I'll leave you both to it.
17:13Take a seat, Father.
17:16Scotch.
17:17Oh, no, thank you.
17:20Now, I gather there were raised voices in this very room last night between you and Cannon Fox.
17:27Oh.
17:29The notorious detective at work.
17:32Yes, we had a debate about charitable endeavours.
17:37I'm a major donor to the diocese, Father, furthering the interests of my dear late wife.
17:45Which are?
17:46Well, she was abandoned as a child by an unmarried mother.
17:51Her work at the Good Refuge meant everything to her.
17:54Ah, recently closed down.
17:58Hmm.
17:59Yet, uh, Damien and Cannon Fox didn't feel it was a priority to establish a new residence.
18:06But where are these women to go now, Father?
18:09Father, I implored him to think again.
18:12What was his response?
18:14He said he would.
18:15So, Father, now I need you to find him so he can make good on that promise.
18:29St. Mary's Presbytery.
18:31Father, it's me.
18:33Cannon Fox.
18:35Call off the search.
18:36I assure you I'm fine.
18:39Where are you?
18:40Indulging in a period of contemplation before my consecration.
18:45Somewhere private.
18:48I see.
18:50And for what it's worth, I regret what I said yesterday about you not making trouble amongst
18:55the Highland cattle.
19:00I understand.
19:02Thank you, Father.
19:03May God be with you.
19:08He's sending me a message.
19:11On Friday, he said that I wouldn't be able to cause trouble amongst the sheep.
19:15Not Highland cattle.
19:18He's telling me something's wrong.
19:19So he really has been kidnapped?
19:22Yes, but why?
19:24And by whom?
19:26We had no luck identifying the source of the telephone call, I'm afraid.
19:31And found nothing of interest at Mrs. Nettle's house or Silk Manor.
19:35Can you imagine the embarrassment when he doesn't turn up to his own consecration?
19:39Oh.
19:40Which is exactly why I have my superiors breathing down my neck.
19:44And we have two hours left.
19:48It's time we collected Mrs. Nettle's.
19:50Actually, would you mind if I had a quick word with Isabel first?
20:04I'm so sorry.
20:05Finally.
20:07Thank you, Edgar.
20:08See, that wasn't so hard, was it?
20:11Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
20:12I'm so sorry that this is difficult to see now.
20:15But I honestly believe that you will come to see this as a positive change.
20:20And why is that?
20:23Spending time in our new home and to visit Eddie?
20:26And for holidays?
20:29I mean, I own enough for both of us.
20:31I can keep you now.
20:33You deserve that.
20:34But can't you see?
20:35I don't want to be kept.
20:37And I detest...
20:40These.
20:54Mrs. Sullivan, calm down.
21:01From now on, call me Mrs. Devine.
21:03Oh, dear.
21:04Father, just in time, you won't believe what has happened.
21:09Look at the state of the place.
21:11Has anything of value been taken?
21:13Not as far as we can see.
21:15I think we can assume that information was the target.
21:19And given that this was once Canon Fox's study,
21:23pertinent to his kidnapping.
21:26Bravo, Father.
21:27That's all very well.
21:28But, Mrs. Sullivan, I needed to be at the Pro Cathedral an hour ago.
21:34We'll meet you there later.
21:36Good luck, fathers.
21:37Miss Palmer, given your burgeoning secretarial skills,
21:40perhaps you could ascertain whether anything is obviously missing.
21:44I'll do my best.
21:47I keep returning to what Mrs. Nettles said in here yesterday,
21:51that she knew where the bodies were buried.
21:54Did she mean literally?
21:56What if she meant Bertie?
22:01My uncle's diary.
22:0919th of May, 1944.
22:11Breakthrough with Bertie Silk.
22:14He signed up as per my advice.
22:17Making him see sense.
22:19That would explain why Lord Silk was so grateful to Canon Fox in his speech.
22:25I recall that Lady Martha didn't look too happy to hear that.
22:28What if she blamed Canon Fox for her brother's death?
22:35Mrs. Sullivan!
22:42Mrs. Sullivan!
22:47We need to get to Silk Manor.
22:49I can see if I can borrow that van.
22:51Your investigative skills are needed here, Miss Palmer.
22:55Father, I have a rather novel idea.
22:58We could take Tyndall.
23:00But it would require some expert coordination.
23:08Bravo, Father Lindsay.
23:10I do seem to be getting the hang of it.
23:20A thousand apologies.
23:23Accepted.
23:25We must hurry.
23:27Time is not on our side.
23:30Of course.
23:31Come along, Tyndall.
23:33The race is not yet won.
23:41One hour, Chief Superintendent.
23:43You'd better find him.
23:46I have no choice but to get ready.
23:49Perhaps all of you should do the same.
23:51I'll see you there.
23:53How can I help you, Fathers?
23:55Your brother, I presume.
23:58Our glorious Bertie.
24:00Taken far too soon.
24:02We used to love this place.
24:04Tearing down the corridors.
24:06Getting lost in the hidey holes.
24:08Now it feels like a prison.
24:10You must miss him terribly.
24:12I think about him all the time.
24:14But I can't pretend he was happy here, either.
24:18He never quite got along with my father.
24:21What happened to your mother?
24:23She died.
24:25Giving birth to me.
24:28I'm so sorry.
24:29It seems it is my destiny to carry on her good work.
24:33I am to turn down my place at Cambridge.
24:36My father's wish.
24:37Perhaps your mother's wishes would have been quite different.
24:40Perhaps she would have preferred you live your own life,
24:43rather than one prescribed by her absence.
24:47My father doesn't think so.
24:49I couldn't help noticing how you reacted to his speech on Friday.
24:54Bertie was exempted with a nervous disposition.
24:57Yet, it transpires that thanks to the Canon Fox's intervention,
25:01he signed up and was a lamb to the slaughter in Normandy.
25:05Lady Martha, I must ask,
25:07are you responsible for what has happened to Canon Fox?
25:11I'm not going to dignify that with an answer.
25:14Now, fathers, if you'll excuse me, I really must get ready.
25:17Of course.
25:18We will see ourselves out.
25:31What do you think, father?
25:34I think Lady Martha has the most compelling motive.
25:38So what do we do now?
25:40We must go to the pro-cathedral
25:42and tell him that the consecration must be postponed.
25:49I think you can face another spin.
25:59Miss Palmer!
26:03Mr Trotter said I could have it till four,
26:06as long as I clean it out after.
26:07Your ingenuity knows no bounds, Miss Palmer.
26:11Thank you, father.
26:12But pooey's quite the fishy whiff.
26:15Yeah, sorry.
26:16Well done, Miss Palmer.
26:17Did you find anything?
26:19Erm, just this.
26:21Miss Fylde.
26:22Looks like Mrs Nettles isn't that good at her job after all.
26:25Heavens no.
26:26She's appalling at anything actually secretarial.
26:29It's from the War Office.
26:31Eleven years ago.
26:32The favour has been granted and must never be spoken of again.
26:39Mrs Nettles said she knew where the bodies were bellied or not.
26:44Perhaps on this occasion,
26:45Canon Fox was doing a good deed.
26:51Of course.
26:53The hidey holes.
26:54The what?
26:56You two, go.
26:57Hold them off as long as you can.
26:59I will get in there.
27:01Good luck, father.
27:03Godspeed.
27:03The hidey holes.
27:05The hidey holes.
27:07The hidey holes.
27:16The hidey holes.
27:19The hidey holes.
27:20The hidey holes.
27:22The hidey holes.
27:23The hidey holes.
27:24The hidey holes.
27:24The hidey holes.
27:24The hidey holes.
27:24The hidey holes.
27:26The hidey holes.
27:27The hidey holes.
27:30The hidey holes.
27:36I don't know.
28:07I don't know.
28:30I really wish you hadn't interfered, Father.
28:37I don't know.
29:16I don't know.
29:19I don't know.
29:20I learned nothing, Father.
29:22You learned something truly shocking at the party.
29:29The Bishop's Palace is where I belong, at your right hand.
29:34Frankly, I can think of nothing worse.
29:37I'm sorry?
29:38Mrs. Nettles, you are undoubtedly the worst secretary I've ever had.
29:43The notion that I'd implore you again is quite ludicrous.
29:47And what if I let slip about what you've done?
29:50How do you think Lord Silk would react to knowing his son is still alive?
29:59You are supposed to be my friend.
30:02He is.
30:02You said yourself that he supported your family.
30:07Bertie went to him for help.
30:10Faced with intolerable pressure to sign up, but of a painfully nervous disposition, in need
30:18of a way out, which Cannon Fox provided.
30:21There might be another way, Bertie.
30:25He betrayed me.
30:28Understandably, you wanted to know the truth.
30:32Put your hand on this, and swear to me, is my son really dead?
30:38Please, Rufus, let it go.
30:40Even if I did know anything, I wouldn't be able to tell you.
30:43Oh, I think you will.
30:46But you lost control.
30:50You attempted to misdirect.
30:53You staged a break-in.
30:58The marks from the priest's hole door gave you away.
31:03All right.
31:05And your search of Cannon Fox's previous study proved fruitless.
31:10I must know what happened.
31:12Cannon Fox will never break the seal of the confessional.
31:15He is bound by it, as am I.
31:20You didn't take his confession.
31:22So you will tell me where is Bertie?
31:28I don't know.
31:30Then we're back where we started.
31:33Rufus, I believe you are a good man.
31:36But I think you know why this happened.
31:40What would you do me the courtesy of telling me?
31:48Bertie was full of fear.
31:50Of course he was.
31:51The boy was emotionally incontinent.
31:53He could never have fought in the war.
31:55But you desperately clung to the fiction
31:58that he signed up and died a hero's death,
32:01which blinded you to the real truth.
32:04The thing he was most afraid of
32:08was you.
32:14Poppycock.
32:15Listen to Father Brown.
32:18I'm so sorry, Rufus.
32:21No.
32:23No.
32:25It's lies.
32:26You leave me no choice.
32:28Please, God, forgive me.
32:31Lord Silk,
32:32if you do this,
32:33you will surely face the gallows.
32:36But if you confess and repent,
32:39you may see your son again.
32:43a gift
32:45denied to so many parents.
32:49How could he do this to me?
32:56Now that the truth is out,
32:57I hope one day
32:59you will be able to ask him
33:00that question yourself.
33:09That's it.
33:10I won't wait any longer.
33:12It's still a minute.
33:14Go inside
33:15and tell them
33:16it's all off.
33:18Now!
33:20Mrs Nettles,
33:22has it escaped your notice
33:24that you work for Father Lindsay,
33:26not the other way round?
33:28I have complete faith
33:30in Father Brown,
33:31who has never let me down.
33:32Hear, hear.
33:35And as if on cue...
33:37Tyndall saves the day!
33:39Praise be!
33:40Tyndall?
33:41Tyndall the tandem.
33:47Apologies for cutting it a bit fine.
33:49Where is Lord Silk?
33:51I'm afraid he will not be in attendance.
33:53My vestments!
33:55Now!
33:56At once, Uncle.
33:57Mrs Nettles,
33:58please announce
33:58there will be a short delay.
34:00Me?
34:01Chop, chop,
34:02Mrs Nettles!
34:05You need to put that away.
34:07You need to put that away.
34:10You need to put that away.
34:11You need to put that away.
34:18You need to put that away.
34:20You need to put that away.
34:21You need to put that away.
34:25You need to put that away.
34:26You need to put that away.
34:27You need to put that away.
34:28You need to put that away.
34:28You need to put that away.
34:28You need to put that away.
34:29You need to put that away.
34:30You need to put that away.
34:31You need to put that away.
34:33You need to put that away.
35:03Most reverent Father,
35:06our Holy Mother,
35:08the Catholic Church,
35:11demands of me
35:12to promote the priest
35:15here present
35:16to the heavy office
35:19of a bishop.
35:51SONG SONG
36:20Blessed be the name of the Lord.
36:22Henceforth, now and forever.
36:26May the Almighty God the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost bless you.
36:34Amen.
36:35Amen.
36:37Suffice to say, it has been an eventful few days,
36:41which have served to highlight that I am only as effective as those who work tirelessly in my diocese.
36:49Those priests who go beyond the call of duty,
36:53and without whom I would not be standing before you today.
37:16ìIsobile?î
37:20All's well that ends well
37:23Sir, Lord Silk is now safely held in custody
37:27Thanks to Father Brown
37:28As opposed to you
37:31Thank you for Bertie
37:36I'll write to him
37:37I'm sure he'll be in touch
37:39But your father will need you now
37:42I'll go and see him
37:43And Bertie, of course
37:45From Cambridge
37:47I've been offered a place which I'm going to accept
37:49And what of your mother's charitable interests?
37:52My father can pay someone to look after them
37:55I've come to realise they're not my burden to bear
37:58Goodbye, Bishop Fox
38:00Thank you, Lady Martha
38:08Congratulations, my Lord
38:15I was hoping, my Lord
38:18After what has happened
38:20You might reconsider the clerical exchange
38:24Father Brown, you have been truly indispensable these last few days
38:29But Father MacDougall is on his way here
38:32A priest must be sent to take his place
38:38And then you must send him back
38:41Father Brown saved your life
38:43Were you sure the bishop's on his spirit?
38:47Oh, put a sock in it, Mrs Nettles
38:49Bishop Fox
38:51I've had my own clashes with Father Brown
38:53But his contributions to Kembleford far outweigh his duties as a priest
38:57He has helped me
38:59No
39:01In fact, he has solved many a case
39:04Ablely assisted by my beautiful wife
39:07And me
39:09Yes
39:11Please, I implore you
39:12Do everything in your power
39:14To keep Father Brown in his rightful place
39:16The inspector's right
39:18We need Father Brown
39:19Please
39:20Don't send him away
39:21These are moving tributes
39:23But wheels have been set in motion that I cannot stop
39:29I'm sorry
39:32Uncle
39:33Bishop
39:34My Lord
39:36If it is essential
39:37That a priest be sent in return
39:40Then I will send myself
39:43Osborne, no
39:44In fact, it will be the greatest honour of my life
39:47To do this for the greatest man I've ever met
39:49I refuse
39:50And I refuse your refusal
39:53I've always wanted to visit the highlands of Scotland
39:55I hear they have very strange cattle
39:57Well, I am not going there with you
40:00I must confess to feeling relieved
40:03And as Father MacDougall is bringing his own parish secretary
40:08Looks like you're out of a job
40:11Yuck
40:19On your own head, be it
40:37I don't know what to say
40:40Say all right
40:42We all will
40:43Won't we, Edgar?
40:44Yes
40:45From now on, I will do just as I'm told
40:58You're all right, you know
41:01Sorry I thought you were a murderer when we first met
41:04And I think you are positively teeming with promise, Miss Palmer
41:08What a fine parish secretary you'll make one day
41:10Oh, good
41:12Because I've got an idea
41:21Lady Martha and Lord Bertie have been reunited
41:24Turns out he was working as a librarian in Largs
41:27Oh, how wonderful
41:31Father
41:32I will never forget what you did
41:35I'm just glad I could help
41:36And what an adventure this is going to be
41:38I can't wait
41:39Where's Brenda?
41:40You'd think she would
41:45Oh
41:47I thought I'd best make this quick
41:49There's a parish secretary job going
41:51And I think I can do it
41:53I know you can
41:57Is this really goodbye?
42:00It's goodbye to the girl who couldn't read
42:03And was only good at mopping floors
42:06She's gone
42:07Thanks to you two
42:08No
42:10It was because of you, Brenda Palmer
42:13We couldn't be more proud
42:20Besides
42:23Someone needs to look after that one over there
42:25And I know Father Brown is in the best hands
42:30Goodbye, Father
42:35You know what you mean to me
42:38I'll write every week
42:40You'll be sick of me letters
42:41I doubt that
42:43Will we ever see you again?
42:46Of course you will
42:48I best, um
42:49We've got a train to catch
42:51I hope it all goes well up there
42:56I'm quite sure it will
42:57I hear the English are spectacularly popular in Scotland
43:01What can possibly go wrong?
43:04And away we go
43:06Godspeed
43:08Father
43:09Mrs Sullivan
43:10Yes
43:11I just wanted to say
43:13I will miss you
43:15So much
43:17The feeling is entirely mutual
43:33End of an era, Father
43:36And now we have an empty nest
43:39Because she's flying
43:41Yes
43:43She is
44:03And now we have avey
44:11I do
44:11You know
44:12And now we have to
44:13Reach
44:13Anne
