00:04Good day.
00:05A month ago, I could barely handle the attendance register.
00:08Look, correspondence, done, schedule, sorted.
00:12It's like I'm possessed.
00:14Unfortunate choice of words.
00:15Can't wait for Mrs S to come back from her holiday
00:17so I can show him a new filing system.
00:19You've coped admirably without her.
00:23Miss Palmer, why don't you take the rest of the day off?
00:26Oh, thanks, Father.
00:36I'm honoured, but surely it would be easier to attend Mass at the Vatican.
00:43Italian sermons are impossible to sit through, or so I've heard.
00:49Hercule, good to see you.
00:51Although I think these clandestine entrances are no longer necessary.
00:56How could I deny you the thrill, Father?
00:58Besides, I had to check you still have your wits about you.
01:01Ah.
01:02Not a social visit, then.
01:05As you know, the Vigil of the Assumption is coming up.
01:08Thousands will descend upon the Vatican,
01:10expecting to see a highly revered statue.
01:12The Madonna of Soros.
01:15You are here on Reclamation's Department business.
01:19Stolen.
01:20Last year.
01:21The good news is, the man responsible confessed,
01:24and he knows the statue's whereabouts.
01:26And the bad news.
01:27Not long ago, that man tried to kill you.
01:30On this very spot.
01:36Lazarus.
01:38And he will only talk to you.
01:40He will only talk to you.
01:40No.
02:13Forgive the precautions, Father. I don't normally permit visitors to my most dangerous inmate.
02:19Having met him, I understand.
02:22And you know he has an exceptional mind.
02:25Indeed.
02:27Last month, he offered counsel to the librarian. An hour later, we had a full-scale riot. Twelve new patients
02:34in the infirmary. Do not underestimate him.
02:45Stay at arm's length from the bars at all times. Give him no information, personal or otherwise. And if he
02:51does anything unexpected, pray.
02:53Stay at arm's length.
02:55Stay at arm's length.
02:59Stay at arm's length.
03:06Stay at arm's length.
03:07Father Brown.
03:10I knew you wouldn't keep an old friend waiting.
03:13you and i are not friends where is the madonna of sorrows you won't even ask how i am
03:23nasty wound courtesy of a fellow inmate you think they let me anywhere near the general population
03:31your trial approaches restitution of stolen artifacts will demonstrate remorse
03:38forget the trial i'm more interested in my favorite adversary what have you done with
03:44the statue sold it anonymous auction which you know where did indy know naturally
03:50i'll give you a clue for a price i have no money something else then
04:06i'll take whatever's in that pocket
04:12my traveling stole is of no use to you
04:17no more dangerous than his bedsheets stand back please
04:26the clue luke 15 4
04:38what man of you that hath an hundred sheep and if he shall lose one of them
04:45let he not leave the 99 in the desert and go after that which is lost till he find it
04:53what use is that to me
04:57you're a clever man do your own homework
05:05three crowded trains and a bus better suited to cattle you should have come in the car you drove
05:10off without me
05:13miss palmer who is our guest flambeau's boss partner monsignor rousseau welcome sorry we had to impose
05:24that spineless lazarus wouldn't say one word to me yesterday but he spoke to you today
05:29i think he saw it simply as a way to waste my time he gave you nothing to go on
05:35almost nothing
05:38luke 15 4. the parable of the lost sheep presumably referring to the lost statue why does it look like
05:46a sheep
05:48the madonna of sorrows is an exquisite flawless 17th century sculpture of the virgin mary all right
05:56you said it were a sheep the lost sheep isn't the statue it's the person who bought it
06:04i am sorry we couldn't stay longer not at all eddie doesn't want his mum out staying her welcome
06:10besides i'm eager to catch up on all the excitement i've missed yeah i'd rather hear there hasn't been
06:15any but knowing father brown please i won't get in the way flambeau how brave of you to show your
06:24face
06:25while i was away good to see you too chief inspector it's just inspector now no time to catch up
06:33i'm
06:33afraid confidential vatican business my immunity papers how's eddie oh very well ready to see how

07:00what was that about my paperwork
07:14that was a first overtaken by a pedestrian not every journey is a race you forget you work for
07:20the vatican now i was hired because i get results sometimes you have to run a red light pick a
07:26lock
07:27throw a punch i am a man of god i have never thrown a punch in my life
07:37monsignor it would be prudent if you stayed here as lookout when lazarus is involved we should
07:44anticipate trouble
07:50cutting it fine gents the exhibition's almost over bubbly i won't tell if you don't bother
07:57i'll abstain thank you miss mary jackman regrettably mary i've never practiced abstinence myself

08:10in that case tell her we'd love to make a donation hope your pockets are as deep as those eyes
08:29you
08:30after sir francis curious coincidence must be divine providence father indeed
08:38not my usual cup of tea i confess when i heard the shepherd family's collection was unmissable
08:47afternoon
08:50Lazarus is prison officer
08:51a spy
08:52let's not jump to conclusions
08:56he's right though
08:57it is an impressive house
09:00the Shepard family were pillars of the pompous aristocracy
09:04until the rebellious daughter inherited everything
09:07Veronica yearned for excitement
09:09all the good things money can't buy
09:11the Shepard's wayward child
09:15the lost sheep
09:18there was a time she and I were intimately acquainted
09:24Veronica
09:28that's for the waitress in Budapest
09:31it's good to see you Hercule
09:33you haven't lost your delicate touch
09:36nor you your charm
09:38Father Bran a friend of Flambo's
09:40so it's true
09:41the master thief working for the old enemy
09:43nothing ever escaped to you
09:45quite
09:46I hear the Vatican plans to exhibit a statue they no longer possess
09:51a statue you once promised to steal for me
09:55a detail we shall perhaps withhold from Monsignor Russo
10:00your generosity is much appreciated
10:03Mary will take your details in the donor book outside
10:10did you obtain all of this by unorthodox means
10:14oh heavens what must you think of me
10:17as if I'd leave my most treasured pieces on display
10:26sturdy safe
10:28built to determine like me
10:30despite your reputation
10:31despite your reputation you were nothing but honourable to me
10:33in most departments
10:35voila
10:37the Madonna of Sorrows
10:40tragic effigy
10:43many have attested to seeing her weep
10:45some might say she's priceless
10:48I say everything has a price
10:51is it not reward enough
10:52to spare thousands of pilgrims from disappointment
10:55I think you know the answer to that
10:57allow me
10:58since when was I your damsel in distress
11:02fine
11:04I represent the Vatican
11:06let's talk financial compensation
11:08that's the other guests all gone
11:10I can serve tea in the sitting room if you like
11:12thank you Mary
11:13better make it a strong pot
11:16follow me gents
11:24I know I'm a little disorganised
11:26but I knew where everything was
11:29look
11:29this new system is miles better
11:31it's all about
11:32dates in and dates out
11:34I'm sure I'll work it out
11:35it's actually easier if I explain it to you
11:37you've already done so much
11:38thank you Brenda
11:39all right
11:40cup of tea then
11:41perfect
11:43I'll tell you all about
11:44Eddie's experimental cooking
11:48the Veronica I knew never cared for money
11:50how about we pause all this
11:52while I take you for dinner
11:52well
11:53the old signature move
11:54a candlelit dinner
11:56a velvety bottle of Pinot Noir
11:58elegant
12:00complex
12:01seductive
12:02let me express my gratitude
12:04for you being so
12:06accommodating
12:08given the time is of the essence
12:10perhaps we should concentrate
12:12on the statue
12:14relax father
12:15even if I wasn't spoken for
12:17Flambeau blew his chances
12:19long ago
12:21how much do you have to offer me
12:29what's going on
12:30did you find the statue
12:31we did
12:32briefly
12:33we were only gone a few minutes
12:35plenty of time for someone to slip in and out
12:37and see
12:38though breaking into a log safe
12:39is another matter
12:40if you're behind this
12:42Flambeau
12:42try pointing that finger at someone who wasn't with you the whole time
12:46me
12:47no
12:48Mary's my dearest friend
12:49and she would never steal from me
12:51perhaps you observed something Miss Jackman
12:53oh I'm not very observant father
12:55plus I was in the kitchen making tea
12:57guess it'll go to waste now
13:00pity
13:00I was looking forward to something hot
13:04I'll pop this in the sitting room
13:06in case you fancy it later
13:08have you found something father
13:09cigarette butt
13:12careless of the thief to leave evidence
13:14unless they wanted us to find it
13:15Monseigneur
13:16did you notice any of the exhibition guests smoking
13:19I did not
13:20besides they had all departed before the crash
13:23except for the tall gentleman in a blue jacket
13:25that I passed on the way inside
13:27officer Francis
13:29car key
13:30no
13:31you are the one who have the statue in sight
13:33will inform the Vatican
13:34and await further instruction
13:36and notify the police
13:37no please don't
13:38I can't have my name linked to a stolen artifact
13:41and it will be damaging to the Vatican
13:42if anyone found out it were missing
13:44hmm
13:48we have a bigger problem
13:50whoever stole it
13:51was acting under instruction
13:53so Lazarus
13:54has an accomplice
13:57another day
13:58another wild adventure
13:59for father brown
14:00inserting himself
14:01where he does not belong
14:03when I heard that you had visited
14:05that disgrace to the church
14:07please accept my apologies
14:08canon father
14:09I don't need your apologies father
14:10I need you to leave the reclamations
14:13to the professionals
14:15and to this crook they employed
14:17against my advice
14:19stay away
14:21from Vincent Lazarus
14:29the Vatican must be in trouble
14:30if that's your next bishop
14:32hmm
14:34I won't be joining you for dinner
14:37following up on a promising lead
14:39let me guess
14:42Mary Jackman
14:43any information could prove vital
14:44in catching the accomplice
14:46I would hate for you to compromise
14:47your new position
14:48by doing anything
14:50that Monsignor Russo
14:52could object to
14:53and I suppose
14:54you're planning on
14:55staying away from Lazarus
14:56as Canon Fox commanded
15:24what do you know
15:26perfect fit
15:29so
15:29I'm dying to hear
15:31if you found that lost sheep
15:32that clue wasn't for me
15:34because you knew
15:35that Flambeau was alive
15:37and working for the Vatican
15:38healed by a magical cup
15:40apparently
15:40you wanted us to locate
15:42the statue for you
15:43so your accomplice
15:44could take it
15:45from under our noses
15:48incidentally
15:50noticed the familiar face
15:51at the exhibition
15:54I don't like
15:55what you're implying
15:58merely stating a fact
16:01Officer Francis
16:02it's no surprise
16:03I've been fostering
16:05his cultural appetite
16:05this is just a game
16:07to you isn't it
16:08an intellect
16:09such as yours
16:10deserves a challenge
16:12now
16:12are you ready
16:14to purchase
16:14your second clue
16:15I would rather
16:16you spoke plainly
16:17the price is
16:19steeper this time
16:22your lovely hat
16:24are you trying
16:26to defrock me
16:29you know the drill
16:30father
16:42my vestments
16:44are purely symbolic
16:46you will never
16:47strip me of my faith
16:49we'll see
16:53Matthew
16:541514
16:56feel free to confer
16:57with your friends
16:59tell me
17:00what happens
17:01if I lose
17:02this game
17:05then in two days
17:06time
17:06I will walk out
17:07of this prison
17:08unchallenged
17:12and I will kill you
17:18please contact me
17:19at my lodgings
17:20when my partner
17:20does decide to return
17:22oh maybe I could help you
17:40thanks for last night
17:41monsieur flambeau
17:43you sure I can't
17:44drop you at work
17:45I better take the bus
17:47us nurses
17:48are rotten gossips
17:57this is not
17:58how the vatican
17:59expects us to
18:00conduct ourselves
18:01the vatican
18:02expects results
18:02what is it
18:04veronica's book
18:05of charity donors
18:05Mary was only too
18:07happy to share it
18:07with me
18:08guess which prison
18:09officer left us
18:10address yesterday
18:13while you write
18:14your reports
18:14and wait for your
18:15instructions
18:15I'm going to get
18:16the statue back
18:17actually I spoke
18:18to Cardinal Papillon
18:19this morning
18:20and
18:22he said that
18:22trusting your instincts
18:23was our best chance
18:24of recovering
18:25the Madonna of Sorrows
18:27no need to apologise
18:29I can still save the day
18:33not reconsidering
18:34your vow of non-violence
18:35are you
18:38somewhere safe
18:38Miss Palmer
18:42from now on
18:43we work together
18:44no more thefts
18:45no more
18:46inappropriate relations
18:47and it goes without saying
18:49I'm driving
18:58Miss Palmer
18:59has Flambeau
19:00returned yet?
19:02he rushed off
19:03with Monseigneur Rousseau
19:04I would have asked
19:06to join
19:06but clearly
19:07nobody wants me
19:08interfering
19:09something on your mind?
19:12she's only gone
19:13and undone it all
19:15perhaps that's why
19:16my things keep
19:17migrating
19:18it took me forever
19:19to sort out
19:20this mess
19:21does Mrs Sullivan
19:22know how much
19:23thought went into
19:24your reorganisation?
19:26perhaps you should
19:27talk to her
19:28Brenda
19:29I found this strange
19:30book of addresses
19:31in the kitchen
19:33Flambeau said it would
19:34lead them to some
19:35officer's house
19:37Matthew 15 14
19:39let them alone
19:40for they are blind
19:41and leaders
19:41of the blind
19:43if the blind
19:44lead the blind
19:45they will both
19:46fall into the pit
19:48Flambeau is heading
19:49into a trap
19:54somewhat off the beaten
19:55track
19:59fitting hideout
20:00for an accomplice
20:01good thing we have
20:02immunity
20:02from the law
20:04not from God
20:05just follow my lead
20:06that isn't too much
20:07to ask is it?
20:08depends
20:09where you want
20:09to lead me
20:10lesson one
20:13lock picking
20:15may God forgive me
20:24find anything?
20:25no

20:29look harder
20:31touché
20:32let's see where
20:33they leave
20:33not so fast
20:38security alarm
20:42you have a lot
20:42to learn
20:43from you?
20:44yes
20:46professional
20:47hired to lead
20:47this department
20:48or so I was
20:49led to believe
20:50thievery is no
20:51profession
20:52then we must
20:52be unemployed
20:53that's different
20:54we're recovering
20:55items that are
20:56rightfully ours
20:57by what means?

21:11without the running
21:11commentary
21:13no
21:14you may have
21:14convinced
21:15father brown
21:15of your
21:16reformed character
21:17but I cannot
21:18support this
21:18then go home

21:40likely meet
21:41an unpleasant
21:42fate
21:57I just saved your
21:58neck
21:59the least you could
22:00do is tell me about
22:01this vatican business

22:03perhaps if you were
22:04still chief inspector
22:07hercule flambeau
22:08you're under arrest
22:09I suggest you
22:10review our
22:11immunity papers
22:11before causing
22:12a diplomatic
22:13incident
22:13we should have
22:14stopped for a
22:15cup of tea
22:15sergeant
22:16I've been telling
22:17old farmer ned
22:18to clean his

22:48fed you both

22:52wonder

22:53why you are
22:53so reluctant
22:54to give
22:55hercule
22:56a chance
22:56I was a
22:57curator
22:58of the
22:58vatican
22:59museum
22:59my reliquary
23:00collection
23:01was
23:01unparalleled

23:04shared by
23:05your friend
23:06father
23:08ah

23:17trusted another
23:18man just
23:19like flambeau

23:23until he
23:24used me to
23:24gain access
23:25to the
23:25Vatican
23:26vaults
23:27Lazarus
23:29he cost

23:33information
23:34to share
23:34he won't
23:35even talk
23:36to me
23:36I won't

29:54then
29:54who
29:54keeps

29:55Father
29:56Brown's
29:56things
30:02you
30:03know
30:03the
30:03rules
30:0315
30:04minutes
30:11I
30:22can't
30:23see you
31:23Rest assured, our extensive manhunt will continue overnight.
31:27Just say it, Inspector.
31:29He got away.
31:32The warders seem to believe that Lazarus climbed through that hole and vanished into thin air.
31:37A miracle.
31:38We were right.
31:40Someone was sneaking into the presbytery at night.
31:44Hiding Jug Knight in the father's Bible, concealing a blasting cap in the lining of his hat,
31:53and threading a fuse through his soul.
31:55Well, you smuggled a bomb into prison.
32:00That's not fair.
32:01He was tricked.
32:03Officer Francis warned me not to underestimate Lazarus, which is exactly what I have done.
32:15One night, Sergeant.
32:22No sign.
32:24Last month, Lazarus incited a riot at Windchurch.
32:28Another escape attempt?
32:30Or he was observing what happened during a lockdown.
32:35Finding blind spots in prison security.
32:40Like the chapel.
32:42Any smart man would sneak out at night.
32:45An explosion only draws attention.
32:48Unless...
32:49That was the whole point.
32:52So your minds should be corrupted and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ.
33:00Father, you need some sleep.
33:04What if the explosion was to corrupt our minds?
33:09Distracting us from the simplicity of the only logical conclusion.
33:15Lazarus never left the chapel.
33:25The question is, my dear friend, did he pull the same trick twice?
33:46Ah!
33:47Ah!
33:48Ah!
33:48Ah!
33:51We need to speak to Officer Francis urgently.
33:56Excuse me.
33:57He's coming through.
33:58I'm awake.
34:11I'm all for breaking and entering, Father.
34:13But knocking would have been easier.
34:15Less discreet.
34:16Who knows where Lazarus is?
34:18Which is why I don't make enemies of criminal masterminds.
34:21Even criminal masterminds can't perform miracles.
34:27Lazarus's accomplice couldn't open the safe without the key.
34:30Which I had already purloined.
34:32But they didn't need to.
34:42Simple sleight of hand.
34:48Just as Lazarus never left the prison.
34:51Hercule?
34:52Hercule?
34:53Hercule?
34:53Veronica.
34:54We saw an empty safe and never thought to question which one.
34:56The picture switch took seconds.
35:00The clever thing was convincing us that the statue was stolen while we were out of the room.
35:09The cigarette butt wasn't to taunt us.
35:12It was a fuse.
35:16Slowly burning through the picture cord till it fell to the floor, alerting us to the imaginary theft.
35:28Flambeau has gone AWOL yet again.
35:30This is going in my report.
35:32And Father Brown's gone with him.
35:34They left a note.
35:36Off to Lady V's.
35:37The statue never left.
35:41Mrs Sullivan, fetch your car keys.
35:44Miss Palmer, telephone the police.
35:45This was his plan all along.
35:47Whatever you've figured out, Father Brown will be one step ahead.
35:50Of me, perhaps.
35:52But I know Lazarus.
35:54Father Brown has figured out only what he wanted him to.
36:00As the serpent seduced Eve by his subtlety.
36:04You are Eve.
36:07Seduced by Lazarus into concealing explosives in my apparel.
36:12So I unwittingly freed him.
36:18And chased his shadow into an ambush.
36:24Congratulations, Father.
36:26I knew you'd get there eventually.
36:28And for the record, I wasn't seduced.
36:31Vincent and I are in love.
36:32Spare us.
36:34Oh.
36:36How did you meet?
36:38Two years ago, my father died.
36:40And left his unblemished legacy for me to sully.
36:45All those shady deals and running around with the likes of Flambeau became like a millstone.
36:49And so I sought atonement in the Vatican.
36:52And Father Lazarus heard your confession?
36:55Vincent showed me that the church was in fact a parasite feeding off my insecurity.
37:01He used you, Veronica.
37:03He set me free.
37:04No.
37:05No.
37:06No, you set yourself free.
37:07Veronica.
37:09You know me.
37:10You trust me.
37:12I'm sorry, but Lazarus doesn't love you.
37:14He has no heart.
37:16You're a good man, Hercule.
37:18It really pains me to see you so brainwashed.
37:20May I sit down?
37:30Tell me about your best friend, Mary.
37:33I love Mary.
37:36And she loved you.
37:39Enough to pass what she thought were innocent love letters between you and a prisoner.
37:45Lazarus.
37:48When did you find out you were helping him escape?
37:52Hercule's questions at dinner made her suspicious.
37:55She went through my bedroom and found Vincent's letters.
37:58I wish I'd burnt them all.
37:59So you poisoned her.
38:01I had no choice.
38:02Don't let him into your head, darling.
38:05Resist.
38:07Right, step on it, Miss Hess.
38:09Oh!
38:10That wasn't turning, was it?
38:12No, straight ahead.
38:14You have a choice, Lady Veronica.
38:17You can choose redemption.
38:19Redemption is a lie.
38:20Constructed by men in frocks telling you you're a sinner.
38:23We're all sinners.
38:25Clergy and laity alike.
38:26See?
38:27They fool even themselves.
38:28If you choose his path, you may find distraction.
38:33But you will never find peace.
38:35I just want the pain to stop.
38:38You took a life.
38:39That pain is remorse.
38:41They gave you that pain, Veronica?
38:43But it proves your soul can be saved.
38:46They gave you the disease so they could sell you the cure.
38:51Give me the girl.
38:52Release your shackles.
38:54Repent.
39:04I love you.
39:08Forever.
39:21Good help is so hard to find.
39:24Who's next?
39:27I'll kill you.
39:29He's armed.
39:30You're not.
39:32So soon.
39:33Looks like we'll have to wrap this up.
39:35The only way out of here is with a hostage.
39:38He's right.
39:40Take me.
39:44Clever thinking.
39:51You know, we could have made a formidable trio.
39:56But, regrettably, three is a crowd.
39:59Hello, old friend.
40:07Don't tempt me.
40:11You enjoyed that, didn't you?
40:14No comment.
40:21All this carnage.
40:23Two lives taken over an old statue.
40:27The statue is part of it.
40:28But the whole picture is no more palatable.
40:34We had a deal, did we not?
40:38If I prevailed, you said you would tell me what happened.
40:42What filled your heart with such bitterness.
40:46And I'm a man of my word, Father.
40:49But this game has only just begun.
40:54I look forward to the next round.
41:03Deliberately disobeying my orders.
41:06Aiding a prison break.
41:08Not my finest hour.
41:10Tomorrow I visit his holiness in Rome.
41:13Ahead of my upcoming consecration.
41:16How am I to explain this fiasco?
41:19Tell him the Madonna of Soros has been found.
41:21Thanks to Father Brown.
41:23Oh, what?
41:24I, um...
41:25I imagine he'll be impressed.
41:26Don't you?
41:28All's well that ends well.
41:30No.
41:32No.
41:34I shall speak to you when I return, Father.
41:37I look forward to it, Canon Fox.
41:50For Mary Jackman.
41:54Who's only crime was being a loyal friend.
41:58Well, Veronica will be remembered only as a monster's accomplice.
42:02Not the remarkable woman I once knew.
42:25Hail Mary, full of grace.
42:28The Lord is with thee.
42:31Au revoir, madame.
42:32You should visit more often.
42:34Brenda, Edgar would have a heart attack.
42:37What next?
42:38I'm thinking on it.
42:39I'll keep you posted.
42:40Well, I'm glad you haven't made up your mind.
42:42If I wasn't open-minded, Father, this friendship never would have worked.
42:46Flambeau, I owe you an apology.
42:49Had I only given you a chance?
42:51The feeling's mutual.
42:52Partner.
42:54Actually, I've received word from the Vatican.
42:56I'm being restored to my position as museum curator.
42:59You have earned your independence.
43:05Our flight doesn't depart for a few hours.
43:07We can take the scenic route.
43:10I thank you, Father Brown, for your immeasurable contribution.
43:16See you at the airport, Monsignor.
43:17Let's go.
44:14See you at the airport, Monsignor.
44:18See you at the airport, Monsignor.
