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.
00:42Welcome home.
00:43Oh!
00:45Father!
00:47Mrs McCarthy.
00:48I'm sorry.
00:50Father!
00:50I'm sorry.
01:04The End
01:22You 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?
01:30I think you've lost weight.
01:32And feeling better for it.
01:34What brings you back to Kembleford, Mrs McCarthy?
01:37Oh, 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.
01:48It's all rather new, but marvellous.
01:52You should come to the presbytery for tea.
01:54Absolutely.
01:58Yes, absolutely.
02:00Some Victorians believe the hydrangea plant brought misfortune or even tragedy.
02:09Blimey.
02:23Oh, please don't send us back.
02:34Care 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.
02:52Profiteroles.
02:55And how is Ireland?
02:58Well, Roisin, that's my sister, has finally settled down with the good man.
03:03You must be very relieved.
03:05I am.
03:06Mrs McCarthy, what a wonderful surprise.
03:09Oh, Sergeant Goodfellow.
03:11Chief 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.
03:25Good.
03:27So, is married life agreeing with you, Inspector?
03:31I'd say so.
03:32Sharing a house takes a little getting used to.
03:35Yes.
03:36It'll be much easier when my furniture arrives.
03:38Miss Palmer, just in time for tea.
03:41Oh, there you are, Brenda.
03:43And who is your new friend?
03:44Erm, this is Moira.
03:46Oh, my giddy aunt.
03:48Auntie Bridget, you came.
03:50Auntie Bridget?
03:51This is Rosie.
03:54Perhaps we should go inside.
03:57I'll show you best your car.
03:59Oh, right.
04:00Yes.
04:08I ran away.
04:09You what?
04:10Ran 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.
04:21Auntie Bridget sent me there.
04:23Did she?
04:24Yes, I did.
04:26Moira 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.
04:38Well, how old is Rosie?
04:42Six weeks.
04:44So is her brother, Jack.
04:46Oh, twins.
04:47How wonderful.
04:49The most beautiful creatures I'd ever seen.
04:53But Sister Agatha took them away from me after only a day.
04:56Gosh.
04:57It 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.
05:05And 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?
05:23Why on earth did you run away?
05:25I was scared that they'd be adopted before you got here.
05:28Where is Rosie's brother?
05:31Last night, I'd taken Rosie and I was about to get Jack, but Nurse Hyde, she caught me.
05:37I didn't have time.
05:38I just, I ran.
05:41That must have been very painful.
05:45And now, Auntie's here.
05:48And 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.
06:01And in the meantime, Sister Agatha and Nurse Hyde will be worried sick about the pair of you.
06:06Nurse Hyde is cruel.
06:07She 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.
06:16I would never do that.
06:18Well, in that case, I will speak with Sister Agatha and Nurse Hyde.
06:23Meanwhile, 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.
06:36I most certainly will.
06:53This 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.
07:24Tell me, Sister Agatha, how long have you been in charge of the Good Refuge?
07:29Twenty years.
07:30Although 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.
07:49Work begins next week.
07:52Moira Fitzpatrick has shown scant regard for the well-being of her children,
07:57or the will of God.
07:58And 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.
08:14Yes, absolutely.
08:16Of 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.
08:30Yes.
08:38She signed the form.
08:47As this is our first visit to the Good Refuge,
08:51I wonder if you'd be good enough to show us around.
08:54Of course.
08:55I'll make sure the girls are presentable.
09:02My 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.
09:14As I always tell my girls, a mother must make great sacrifices to give her child the best start in
09:21life.
09:23All that exertion can't be healthy for Mother War, baby.
09:27They don't get paid either.
09:29Yes.
09:30Well, I'm sure Nurse Hyde knows best.
09:47I 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.
10:01Clergyman 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.
10:15Father.
10:17What is your daughter's name, Mr. James?
10:21Clarice.
10:22Sister Agatha telephoned a week ago to tell me she'd admitted herself.
10:27I couldn't believe it.
10:28Was Clarice living locally?
10:31Training to be a nursing siren sister.
10:33With her whole future ahead of her.
10:36I'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?
10:46Yeah, she was working in the laundry.
10:48She gave me this for her friend.
10:52Moira Jack will be adopted tomorrow.
10:55Clarice.
10:56I don't know this, Moira, but I know all about these adoptions.
11:00Oh, Clarice.
11:03I will pray for your daughter, Mr. James.
11:06That she should choose to come here.
11:09Of all places.
11:10Of all places.
11:16That wasn't me.
11:17I never signed any form in that place.
11:20You're surely not suggesting Nurse Hyde forged your signature.
11:24You have to believe me, Father.
11:29Erm, this is for you.
11:31It's from Clarice.
11:33Really?
11:34She was very brave.
11:37Clarice is so kind to me.
11:39She knitted bonnets for Rosie and Jack.
11:42I won't.
11:44I won't.
11:47Tomorrow?
11:48No.
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.
12:03But, Father, shouldn't we do what's best for the child?
12:07I quite agree.
12:08Mrs. McCarthy.
12:19Father Brown.
12:21I need to talk to Nurse Hyde.
12:23We're expecting an adopting couple at any moment.
12:26Which makes my request all the more urgent.
12:31Nurse Hyde.
12:33Ah!
12:37Ah!
12:41A lifetime spent delivering babies, extinguished by St. Philomena, the patron saint of infants.
12:48Hmm.
12:49Spare as the homily on irony, Father.
12:52Seems the victim was planning a more conventional departure.
13:00St. Jacob's, it's a considerable expense for a nurse.
13:05Even with a war widow's pension.
13:10Footprints.
13:13Yes.
13:14Thank you, Father.
13:18Is that a five-pound note?
13:28Money, though none on her person.
13:35Inspector, 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.
13:49I've got a very good reason for bringing it here, Father.
13:56We don't use that room, Father.
14:02Where is Moira's boy?
14:04Moira?
14:05Well, that girl from yesterday.
14:08Moira!
14:09Moira!
14:10Moira!
14:10Where is Moira?
14:11Moira!
14:11Moira!
14:12Moira!
14:13Moira!
14:14Moira!
14:15Moira!
14:16Moira!
14:17Is this door kept locked?
14:20We look at it at night.
14:23Where's Moira now, Father?
14:26She spent the night at the presbytery.
14:28Right.
14:29Silence.
14:36Sister Agatha called me.
14:38A tragic development.
14:39It certainly is, Cannon.
14:41I trust it will be resolved swiftly and with a minimum...
14:44We're on our way to upper end of suspect right now, Cannon.
14:47That is most encouraging.
14:49Oh, and for your sake, perhaps Father Brown could keep his nose out of it for once.
14:53I couldn't agree more.
14:56Father Glam.
14:57Colonel Fox.
14:59Sister Agatha will be reassured you are here so promptly.
15:02A tragedy in a diocesan house of God is most unwelcome news, Father.
15:07Indeed.
15:08Especially with the appointment of a new bishop so imminent.
15:12Stick to your job, Father.
15:14And let the inspector do his.
15:16Hmm?
15:23She's gone.
15:26Ah.
15:27The inspector thinks Moira took Jack away in the night.
15:30So do I, Mrs McCarthy.
15:33Hang on.
15:33Well, Moira would not have left her daughter alone during her rescue mission.
15:42Miss Palmer?
15:44Miss Palmer?
15:46Um.
15:50I didn't know anybody would get hurt.
15:55So where is Moira now?
16:14What's wrong?
16:15Sorry, Moira.
16:17I had no choice.
16:24Moira, Fitzpatrick.
16:25I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Dorothy Hyde.
16:29Murder?
16:32I haven't heard anybody.
16:34Take the babies, Sergeant.
16:35Right, you're all short.
16:36No!
16:37Auntie Princess!
16:38We will take care of your babies, won't we, Mrs McCarthy?
16:42Yes, yes, we all will.
16:44soften.
16:45Oh!
16:46I can't wait.
16:49Come here she's coming.
16:51No.
16:52Help me.
16:55Help me.
16:56Help me.
16:58Help me.
16:59Help me.
17:01Help me.
17:02Help me.
17:04Help me.
17:06Help me.
17:11Help me.
17:13Help me.
17:16Will you go to her father?
17:18I will.
17:22Tell me about last night.
17:24I got to the Good Refuge past midnight
17:27and I was going to throw pebbles at Clarice's window
17:29and 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.
17:43And 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.
18:11I'm not sure Auntie Bridget does.
18:15Well, your great-aunt has some very strong opinions
18:19around the subject of motherhood.
18:21But she doesn't think you're a murderer.
18:24Are you sure?
18:26Yes.
18:28I will do my utmost to see you reunited with your children.
18:35Oh, Mrs. McCaffrey.
18:42Oh, thank goodness.
18:45I'm out of practice.
18:47Have they been fed?
18:48Um, maybe 20 minutes ago.
18:50And changed?
18:51Mm-hm.
18:52Oh, well.
18:55Probably just tired.
18:57I'm not going to say, Mum.
18:59Hmm?
19:00What you need now is a nice, long nap.
19:05Isn't that right?
19:06You're a natural, Mrs. McCaffrey.
19:09Yes, well, I've had plenty of practice with nephews and nieces and various gotchildren.
19:15Um, do you really think Moira's babies should be adopted, Mrs. McCaffrey?
19:18Yes, I do.
19:20She'll be sparing them a lifetime of shame.
19:24But surely children should be with their mother.
19:26And have people pointing fingers and whispering behind their back.
19:31Oh, no.
19:32Oh, no.
19:34Oh, 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.
19:55What's terrible news?
19:58The poor woman.
20:00A male voice was heard last night arguing with Nurse Hyde.
20:04And a bottle of pills was found near her body.
20:08Rezepine.
20:10Medication for hypertension.
20:13Will 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 Hyde heard me.
20:26She went to her office to call the police.
20:28She 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.
20:41You seemed shocked that Clarice had chosen a good refuge.
20:46Her mother, my late wife, was adopted from birth and strongly opposed the forced adoption.
20:56Also, 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.
21:07Clarice has got to leave that terrible place.
21:19Oh.
21:24Oh.
21:25What part they are just, Miss Palmer?
21:27I wanted to lift Moira's spirits until Father Brown clears her.
21:31Pray to heaven he can.
21:32He'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.
21:56Working for the barber.
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, might.
22:10Father.
22:12How is she?
22:14Scared.
22:16And missing her children terribly.
22:18You believe she's innocent, don't you?
22:21I'm convinced of it.
22:22As 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.
22:30He seems like a really nice man.
22:33And certainly a doting parent.
22:37May I?
22:45Ah, 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.
23:08There 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.
23:28What's this W doing mixed up with all the B's?
23:33Alice, right.
23:38Empty.
23:40Well spotted, Mrs. McCarthy.
23:43Father.
23:47Excellent.
23:48What 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.
24:03And I've also convinced Clarice I'm not angry with her.
24:06I'm going to go home with me dad tonight.
24:09Ah, happy.
24:09I'll come then.
24:11Clarice.
24:12Might I have a word?
24:14In private.
24:18Your 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 would you act to this.
24:29I 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 Nurse Hyde 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.
25:06A cupboard was full of it.
25:08From the laundry business?
25:10No.
25:12From Nurse Hyde's other business.
25:13What other business?
25:16Last week,
25:17I saw a couple here to adopt,
25:19hand money over to Nurse Hyde.
25:22Paid adoptions.
25:24Surely not.
25:25It's true.
25:26Along with the money,
25:28I found...
25:30This book of receipts.
25:34Nurse Hyde walked in
25:36and snatched the money out of my hands
25:38and threatened to call the police
25:39and I said if she did,
25:40I'd show them this book of receipts
25:41and 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?
25:52It could help secure Moira's release.
26:04Don't worry, I'm not getting broody.
26:06Are 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?
26:18Yeah, so, um,
26:19we should talk about, uh,
26:22my furniture,
26:23where it's going to go.
26:25Yes.
26:27I really do think I'd feel more comfortable
26:29in that house, Isabel.
26:31Fewer ghosts,
26:33as it were.
26:34I understand,
26:36but it's a step for me, too, obviously.
26:39Moving some of my furniture out.
26:42Yes.
26:43Yes.
26:44Of course.
26:51I've forgotten how lovely
26:52Mrs. McCarthy's house is.
26:56Are you really going to trust
26:58a wayward girl like that
27:00who drinks gin
27:01when she's pregnant?
27:03Drinking alcohol may be irresponsible,
27:06but these receipts prove
27:07that Nurse Hyde was indeed
27:08selling babies.
27:10Selling babies?
27:12Oh, my heavens.
27:14How on earth could she be?
27:18Father, what is it?
27:22Oh, yes.
27:30I don't understand.
27:32How would Dorothy do such a thing?
27:36Your handwriting is very distinctive tease,
27:40Sister Agatha.
27:40Almost like miniature anchors.
27:45Oddly similar to those in Moira's signature.
27:49And identical to the ones in that book.
27:54Please tell me you weren't involved in any of this.
28:00It was Doris's idea.
28:03She said it was the only way to fund the renovations
28:06to keep our ladies' good refuge open.
28:08And you traded children to pay for building work?
28:12This place has been my life, Mrs. McCarthy.
28:16I couldn't bear to see it close.
28:18But you surprised Nurse Hyde
28:20preparing to abscond with the renovation money.
28:24Presumably to pay for her daughter's education.
28:29I cannot imagine how angry you must have been.
28:33I was angry, but I couldn't ever hurt Dorothy.
28:38Even if I'd wanted to.
29:03I just knew I had to hide my part in this awful business,
29:08but I couldn't find that receipt book.
29:09Are you 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 Maury here.
29:39You weren't to know, Mrs. McCarthy?
29:42Just the same.
29:43It's my fault.
29:50Miss Palmer brought them over.
29:53She's waiting outside.
29:56She says Jack and Rosie are doing well.
30:01Please say thank you to her and Mrs. Sullivan, father.
30:05I will.
30:07Moira, I'm doing all I can
30:10to end this separation from your children.
30:14I'm glad you came, Auntie.
30:17And I'm glad Inspector Sullivan let me see you.
30:23I 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.
30:37Does this mean that I get to keep Rosie and Jack?
30:40Oh, Moira, the world can be a very cruel place.
30:46Those children have to be protected.
30:48And so do you.
30:51Moira, did you ever meet a good refuge resident
30:54by the name of Alice Wright?
30:56Alice?
30:57Yes.
30:59She had a boy.
31:00Rowan.
31:03The poor thing was born with a club foot.
31:06They put him in the cold room next to the nursery.
31:10Alice was so upset.
31:12What happened to Rowan?
31:15He was adopted.
31:17It broke Alice's heart.
31:20She sat out on a bench in the garden all day.
31:24And then one morning,
31:27she was gone.
31:30Sister Agatha said she was taken on
31:32as a domestic in Eastbourne.
31:38I have no idea why you brought us here, Father.
31:42Trying to find inspiration.
31:44Why did Alice Wright come and sit here?
31:49A mountain ash,
31:51according to me gardening book,
31:52also known as a rowan tree.
31:57So it is.
31:58A horticulturist
32:00as well as an artist,
32:01Miss Palmer.
32:03R.W.A.
32:04We've got now.
32:05Mum.
32:07Dedication from Alice
32:08to her late son.
32:10So he died
32:11before my...
32:23Oh, heavens.
32:26That's why she's here.
32:29Miss Palmer,
32:30please fetch Inspector Sullivan.
32:33We need to find Sister Agatha
32:36before it's too late.
32:37Yes, Father.
32:41Wash me yet more from my iniquity
32:44and cleanse me from my sin.
32:47Amen.
32:49Amen.
32:55You killed him.
33:01You and Nurse Hyde
33:03were working together
33:04and you helped her
33:07murder
33:07that poor baby.
33:09Who?
33:10Rowan Wright.
33:11Stay back!
33:18You knitted this for Rowan,
33:21didn't you, Clarice?
33:22Because Alice was your friend.
33:25Where did you find that?
33:28Alice buried it
33:30in remembrance of Rowan.
33:35You're not really pregnant,
33:36are you?
33:37You came here
33:38to find out
33:39what happened to her
33:40and to her baby.
33:47Alice wrote to me.
33:51She said
33:52Nurse Hyde
33:53had locked Rowan
33:54in the cold room
33:56because he was
33:58different
34:00and she was terrified
34:02for him.
34:05And then
34:06the letters
34:07just stopped
34:08and I knew
34:09something terrible
34:10had happened.
34:11So you admitted yourself
34:13to the good refuge
34:15and waited to examine
34:17Nurse Hyde's records.
34:19I didn't want money.
34:20I just wanted
34:21to know the truth.
34:42What on earth
34:43are you doing?
34:45You let Rowan Wright
34:46freeze to death.
34:50With his affliction,
34:51that child would have
34:52had no source of a life.
34:53It was an act of kindness.
34:56Liar,
34:56you just couldn't
34:56sell him,
34:57could you?
34:58His mother
34:59would have loved Rowan
35:01forever
35:01with all her heart.
35:05What did you do with her?
35:06Where is Alice?
35:08In hell
35:08where she deserves
35:10to be.
35:10the girl died
35:12of a broken heart.
35:16She's dead
35:17because of you.
35:19I think you better
35:21leave now.
35:37And now,
35:38I know the truth
35:39and you both killed him!
35:42Clarice,
35:43you want justice
35:44for your friend
35:45but this is not the way.
35:48I had no idea
35:50what nurse
35:51I'd have done.
35:51Liar!
35:52When I found
35:53Rowan in that room,
35:55he was already dead
35:56so help me God.
35:58Clarice,
36:01you must repent.
36:05Confess and seek
36:06God's forgiveness
36:07for the sake
36:07of your immortal soul.
36:09I am not the one
36:11who needs to repent.
36:13I am not the one
36:14I am not the one
36:17What did you do
36:18with Alice?
36:21I think you owe her
36:22an answer,
36:23Sister Agatha.
36:31Nurse Hyde persuaded me
36:32it would be best
36:33if we kept it all
36:35quiet.
36:40We buried Alice there.
36:44With Rowan.
36:58Eternal rest
36:59grant unto them,
37:01O Lord,
37:03and let perpetual
37:04light shine upon them.
37:09Amen.
37:10Amen.
37:20I thought
37:21you rot
37:22in hell.
37:26I didn't know
37:27how to stop her.
37:29I'm not a bad person,
37:31Father.
37:34The death
37:35of a baby
37:36and her mother.
37:39The forced
37:40sale
37:41of children.
37:43You were
37:44complicit,
37:45Sister Agatha.
37:47and that
37:48habit
37:48does not
37:49spare you
37:50from either
37:51blame
37:52or the law.
38:01How could you
38:02let this happen?
38:03Such cruelty,
38:05such evil
38:06and in a place
38:07of God.
38:09Oh,
38:10my Lord.
38:13Inspector
38:13Sullivan
38:14has agreed
38:15to handle
38:15this discreetly.
38:16So all in all,
38:18a satisfactory
38:19resolution.
38:21Satisfactory.
38:23Those women,
38:24those poor
38:25babes,
38:25and all
38:26under your
38:26jurisdiction.
38:27You should be ashamed.
38:29Have you nothing
38:30to say,
38:31Father Brown?
38:33Mrs. McCarthy
38:34is very capable
38:35of speaking
38:35for herself,
38:36Canon Fox.
38:38All I'd say
38:39is this.
38:40It'll be a sad
38:41day for the church
38:42if you ever
38:43become bishop.
38:56Oh,
38:57my angels.
39:00Hey.
39:00Hey.
39:02My little angels.
39:04Hey.
39:05Oh,
39:07thank you so much.
39:09Hey.
39:13Mrs. McCarthy,
39:15we're rather taken
39:16with your home.
39:18Oh,
39:19well,
39:19thank you.
39:20We think it might
39:21be just what we need
39:22for a new beginning.
39:25So,
39:25we'd like you
39:26to name your price.
39:28Oh,
39:29my heavens.
39:32Absolutely
39:32delicious,
39:34Mrs. McCarthy.
39:35the best cottage pie
39:37in England.
39:38Oh,
39:38come now,
39:39Father.
39:40In Gloucestershire,
39:41perhaps.
39:41And
39:43profiteroles
39:44for pudding.
39:45Oh.
39:48So,
39:49what next
39:50for you two?
39:52Well,
39:54Auntie Bridget
39:55says I can keep
39:55my babies.
39:57Maura's no angel,
39:58but...
40:00But anyone
40:01can see
40:02she's a natural
40:02mother.
40:04I'm delighted
40:05for you both.
40:07So,
40:07Mrs. Haddington
40:08has offered them
40:09all a place
40:10with her
40:10here in
40:11Kembleford.
40:12And where
40:12will you go?
40:13Oh,
40:14she'll return
40:15home to Ireland.
40:16I want to go
40:17with her,
40:17Father.
40:18Show these two
40:19beauties to
40:20Ma and Pa.
40:20And I've
40:21explained
40:21that won't
40:22be possible.
40:27An unmarried
40:28mother
40:28in a small
40:30rural town
40:31in County
40:31Cork.
40:32People have
40:33very close
40:34minds.
40:35Minds can be
40:36changed,
40:37as you have
40:38discovered.
40:39Be that as it
40:40may,
40:41if she turns
40:42up alone
40:43with two
40:44little babies...
40:44She wouldn't
40:45be alone.
40:47She'd have you
40:48by her side.
40:51Moira clearly
40:52feels brave enough
40:53to face the music.
40:54I suppose the
40:55question is,
40:55Mrs. McCarthy,
40:58are you.
41:08I can't wait
41:09for my family
41:09to meet them.
41:11What do you
41:12think your
41:12mama will say?
41:14She'll love
41:14them to bits.
41:16Once she gets
41:16over the shark.
41:20You've been a
41:21true friend,
41:21Brenda.
41:31Now, I've
41:32laid everything
41:34out in the
41:34house, so
41:36packing it
41:36all up should
41:37be quite easy.
41:38I don't doubt
41:38it, Mrs. McCarthy.
41:40And I think
41:41what you're doing
41:42is wonderful.
41:43Oh, I don't
41:44know about
41:44wonderful, but
41:46maybe back home
41:47we'll find more
41:48kindness and
41:49compassion than
41:50I give people
41:51credit for.
41:54And we'll
41:55take good
41:56care of your
41:56home.
41:57We certainly
41:58will.
41:59And be sure
41:59to take good
42:00care of the
42:00father.
42:02And as for
42:03you, young
42:03lady, I
42:04really think
42:05you could
42:05make something
42:06of yourself
42:06if you put
42:08your mind
42:08to it.
42:10Thanks,
42:10Mrs. McCarthy.
42:16Your own
42:16hymn book
42:17to remember
42:18us by.
42:20Thank you,
42:20father.
42:21But I've
42:22no need
42:23of a keepsake.
42:24You are
42:25firmly lodged
42:26any year,
42:27always will
42:27be.
42:30But thank
42:31you for
42:31everything.
42:33Thank you,
42:35Mrs. McCarthy.
43:00Conan Fox.
43:01Bishop-elect.
43:03The Vatican
43:03announced it
43:04this past hour.
43:06Well, I will
43:07ensure that our
43:08bells are rung
43:09in your honour.
43:11Although I fear
43:12the bells may be
43:13tolling for you,
43:14Father Brown.
43:15Once I take over,
43:17there'll be no more
43:18extracurricular
43:19distractions.
43:28Best listen
43:29to your boss,
43:29Father.
43:38Yeah,
43:42I will
43:42hear you.
43:43we'll
