04:12from our lady's good refuge where i was coming to visit you this very afternoon the home for
04:20penitent women auntie bridget sent me there did she yes i did moira could hardly stay in ireland
04:28not in her condition sister agatha who runs a good refuge and is an old friend agreed to take her
04:35in
04:36and precious little thanks she gets for her trouble how old is rosie
04:42six weeks so was her brother jack oh twins how wonderful the most beautiful creatures i'd ever seen
04:53but sister agatha took them away from me after only a day gosh it gets worse they're both going to
05:00be
05:00given away adopted like all the babies there it's for their own good moira and you knew very well
05:07that's what would happen yes 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 and of course i was extremely
05:17worried and came as soon as i possibly could so why did you not wait why on earth did you
05:25run away i was
05:26scared that they'd be adopted before you got here where is rosie's brother last night i'd taken rosie
05:34and i was about to get jack but nurse hide she caught me i didn't have time i just i
05:40ran that must have
05:42been very painful but now auntie's here and she can tell sister agatha to let me have jack back as
05:51well no i can't do that why we've been through all this the children must come first no and in
06:01the
06:01meantime sister agatha and nurse hide will be worried sick about the pair of you nurse hide is cruel
06:07she leaves babies in freezing rooms oh now you're being hysterical moira did you give consent for
06:14your children's adoption no i would never do that well in that case i will speak with sister agatha
06:21and nurse hide meanwhile you are welcome to stay here with rosie until this is resolved thank you
06:31father perhaps you will come with us on our visit mrs mccarthy i most certainly will
06:53this place has seen better days these girls hardly deserve a palace mrs sullivan
07:08sister agatha i can only apologize i'm just relieved rosie is safe mrs mccarthy father nurse
07:16hide's office is just up here
07:24tell me sister agatha how long have you been in charge of the good refuge 20 years although i'm no
07:31medical expert i mostly defer to nurse hide this building looks very historical shifting foundations
07:40i'm afraid the whole thing is rather unstable in fact really unfortunately we've raised money for
07:48the repairs work begins next week moira fitzpatrick has shown scant regard for the well-being of her
07:56children or the will of god and yet here you are father harboring her and making her case
08:04i understand babies born here are typically offered for adoption children born out of wedlock
08:10should be brought up within a loving christian marriage yes absolutely of course by law
08:18mothers must consent to these adoptions rest assured the process is entirely above board
08:27sister agatha yes of course
08:38she signed the form
08:43thank you
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 i'll make sure the girls are presentable
09:02my husband died in the war my condolences our daughter was born three months later i assume
09:09from her uniform she attends st jacob's college most prestigious establishment as i always tell my girls
09:16her mother must make great sacrifices to give her child the best start in life
09:23all that exertion can't be healthy for mother war baby
09:27they don't get paid either yes well i'm sure nurse height knows best
09:47i hope i can count on you to do the right thing with miss fitzpatrick father
09:51you certainly can nurse height i need to see my daughter as i've made it perfectly clear men are
09:58forbidden from entering the good refuge clergyman accepted this is from her doctor
10:06confirming that without this medication for her hypertension she's in danger those pills could
10:12harm the baby says who good day mr james father what is your daughter's name mr james clarice
10:22sister agatha telephoned a week ago to tell me she'd admit it herself
10:27i couldn't believe it was clarice living locally training to be a nursing siren sister with her whole
10:35future ahead of her i've been here for the past three days at the guest house right across the road
10:40but
10:40i still haven't been able to speak to her oh well i just saw your daughter did you yeah she
10:47was
10:47working in the laundry she gave me this for a friend moira jack will be adopted tomorrow clarice
10:56i don't know this moira but i know all about these adoptions oh clarice
11:03i will pray for your daughter mr james
11:06that she should choose to come here of all places
11:16that wasn't me i never signed any form in that place you're surely not suggesting nurse height forged
11:23your signature you have to believe me father
11:29um this is for you it's it's from clarice really she was very brave
11:37clarice is so kind to me she needed bonnets for rosie and jack
11:48i will return first thing tomorrow and i will urge nurse height to refrain from having jack adopted
12:02at least for the moment shouldn't we do what's best for the child i quite agree mrs mccarthy
12:21i have to talk to nurse height we're expecting an adopting couple at any moment which means my
12:27request all the more urgent
12:31let's hide
12:40a lifetime spent delivering babies extinguished by saint philomena the patron saint of infants
12:48as far as the homily on irony father
12:52it seems the victim was planning a more conventional departure
13:00saint jacobs it's a considerable expense for a nurse
13:05even with a war widow's pension
13:10footprints
13:13yes thank 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 someone broke in last night
13:39oh more evidence of a robbery gone very badly wrong inspector perhaps we should pay a visit to the nursery
13:49a very good reason for bringing us here father
13:56we don't use that room father
14:02where is moira's boy
14:04where is moira's boy
14:05moira what that girl from yesterday
14:15heavens above
14:17is this door kept locked we lock it at night
14:23where's moira now father
14:26she spent the night at the presbytery
14:28right silence
14:36uh sister agatha called me a tragic development
14:39it certainly is canon
14:41i trust it will be resolved swiftly and with a minimum
14:44we're on our way to apprehend a suspect right now canon
14:47that is most encouraging
14:48oh and for your sake perhaps father brown could keep his nose out of it for once
14:53i couldn't agree more
14:55uh father brown
14:57colonel fox
14:59sister agatha will be reassured you're 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 and let the inspector do his
15:15what do you think he's going to have to do with the police
15:24she's gone
15:26ah
15:27the inspector thinks moira took jack away in the night
15:30so do i mrs mccarthy hang on
15:34moira would not have left her daughter alone during her rescue mission

15:55so where is moira now

16:52no
16:53no
16:53no
16:56no
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 and I was going to throw pebbles at Clarice's
17:29window and then I saw the back door was open so 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.
17:52Nurse Hyde and a man.
17:55Did you recognise his voice?
18:02I didn't kill her, Father.
18:05No.
18:06Of course you didn't.
18:08I believe you, Moira.
18:12I'm not sure Auntie Bridget does.
18:15Well, your great-aunt has some very strong opinions around 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.
18:43Oh, thank goodness.
18:45I'm out of practice.
18:47Have they been fed?
18:48Maybe 20 minutes ago.
18:50And changed?
18:51Mm-hmm.
18:53Oh, well.
18:54Probably just tired.
18:57I'm not the same, Mum.
18:59Hmm?
19:00What you need now is a nice, long nap.
19:04No.
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.
19:14Um, do you really think Moira's babies should be adopted, Mrs. McCaffrey?
19:19Yes, I do.
19:20She'll be sparing them a lifetime of shame.
19:24But surely children should be with their mother.
19:27And have people pointing fingers and whispering behind their back.
19:39Moira doesn't know the way of the world as I do.
19:43If there's one thing I know, she's no murderer.
19:47No.
19:48Say it again.
19:49Nice.
19:50Yeah.
19:55What's terrible news?
19:59The 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.
20:09Rezepine.
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 to forced adoption.
20:56Also, a good friend of Clarice's ended up in one of those refuges.
21:00She said it was barbaric.
21:03So, yes, I was very surprised.
21:07Clarice has got to leave that terrible place.
21:19Oh, poor quite the artist, 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.
21:36You seem to quite enjoy the sleuthing side of things, Mrs. Sullivan.
21:40Gosh, yes, I find it all terribly thrilling.
21:44Although the St Mary's accounts aren't quite as neat these days.
21:48Oh, I definitely preferred filling in ledgers to sneaking around.
21:53Of course, I always had a wonderful time working for the father.
21:58I honestly think it's the best job in the world.
22:02So, are you really selling this house?
22:05Yes, I am.
22:07Only after all this is over, mind.
22:10Father, how 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.
22:31He seems like a really nice man.
22:33And certainly a doting parent.
22:37May I?
22:45What is it?
22:47Possible solution to a conundrum.
22:50I need to return to the good refuge.
22:52Well, 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.
24:04And I've also convinced Clarice I'm not angry with her.
24:06I'm going to go home with me dad tonight.
24:09Happy.
24:09I'll come then.
24:11Clarice.
24:12Might I have a word?
24:14In private.
24:19Your father is surprised that you chose to come to the Good Refuge.
24:23Given your late mother's opinions on adoptions.
24:27I was scared how would you act to this.
24:30I didn't know where else to go.
24:34What are you doing?
24:38I think the inspector will find that your shoe
24:41exactly fits the footprint found near Nurse Hyde's body.
24:46Nurse 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 are their 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.
25:35Nurse 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
25:42and she let me go.
25:43If you didn't take the money,
25:45why was it gone when the body was found?
25:47Was it?
25:49May I borrow this?
25:52It could help secure Moira's release.
26:04Don't worry,
26:05I'm not getting broody.
26:07Are you sure?
26:08It's a shame
26:09we won't experience this, though.
26:11Maybe Ellie will give you
26:12a grandchild one day.
26:14Wouldn't that be lovely?
26:18Yeah, so, um,
26:20we should talk about, uh,
26:22my furniture,
26:23where it's going to go.
26:25Yes.
26:27I really do think
26:28I'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,
26:38obviously,
26:39moving some of my furniture out.
26:42Yeah, yes.
26:44Of course.
26:51Forgotten how lovely
26:52Mrs. McCarthy's house is.
26:57Are you really going to trust
26:58a wayward girl like that
27:00who drinks gin
27:02while she's pregnant?
27:03Drinking alcohol
27:04may be irresponsible,
27:06but these receipts
27:07prove that Nurse Hyde
27:08was indeed selling babies.
27:10Selling babies?
27:12Oh, my heavens.
27:14How on earth
27:15could she be?
27:18Oh, what is it?
27:22Oh, yes.
27:30I don't understand.
27:32How would Dorothy do
27:34such a thing?
27:36Your handwriting
27:38is very distinctive tease,
27:40Sister Agatha.
27:42Almost like miniature anchors.
27:45Oddly similar to those
27:47in Moira's signature.
27:49And identical
27:50to the ones in that book.
27:54Please tell me
27:55you weren't involved
27:56in any of this.
28:00It was Dorothy's idea.
28:03She said it was
28:04the only way
28:04to fund the renovations
28:06to keep our ladies
28:07good refuge open.
28:08And you traded children
28:10to pay for building work?
28:12This place
28:13has been my life,
28:15Mrs McCarthy.
28:16I couldn't bear
28:17to see it close.
28:18But you surprised
28:19Nurse Hyde
28:20preparing to abscond
28:21with the renovation money.
28:24Presumably
28:25to pay for
28:25her daughter's education.
28:29I cannot imagine
28:31how angry
28:32you must have been.
28:34I was angry,
28:35but I couldn't
28:36ever hurt Dorothy.
28:38Even if I'd wanted to.
29:04I just knew
29:05I had to hide
29:06my part
29:06in this awful business,
29:08but I couldn't find
29:09that receipt book.
29:09Are you no shame?
29:13As good as my witness,
29:15I did not kill her.
29:18Father?
29:33This isn't at all
29:34the place I thought it was.
29:36I should never
29:37have sent Maura here.
29:39You weren't to know
29:41Mrs McCarthy?
29:42Just the same.
29:43It's my fault.
29:50Miss Palmer
29:52brought them over.
29:53She's waiting outside.
29:56She says Jack
29:58and Rosie
29:58are doing well.
30:01Please say thank you
30:02to her and Mrs Sullivan,
30:03Father.
30:04I will.
30:07Moira,
30:08I'm doing all I can
30:10to end this separation
30:11from your children.
30:14I'm glad you came,
30:15Auntie.
30:17And I'm glad
30:18Inspector Sullivan
30:19let me see you.
30:23I owe you
30:24an apology.
30:26For what?
30:27For doubting you.
30:29For not believing
30:30what you told me
30:31about the good refuge.
30:33For sending you there
30:34in the first place.
30:37Does this mean
30:38that I get to keep
30:39Rosie and Jack?
30:41Oh, Moira.
30:42The world can be
30:43a very cruel place.
30:45Those children
30:46have to be protected.
30:48And so do you.
30:51Moira,
30:51did you ever meet
30:52a good refuge resident
30:54by the name of Alice Wright?
30:56Alice?
30:57Yes.
30:59She had a boy,
31:01Rowan.
31:03The poor thing
31:04was born with a club foot.
31:07They put him
31:07in the cold room
31:08next to the nursery.
31:10Alice was so upset.
31:12What happened
31:13to Rowan?
31:15He was adopted.
31:17It broke Alice's heart.
31:20She sat out
31:21on a bench
31:22in the garden all day.
31:24And then one morning
31:27she was gone.
31:30Sister Agatha
31:31said she was taken on
31:32as a domestic
31:32in Eastbourne.
31:38I have no idea
31:39why you brought us here,
31:40Father.
31:42Trying to find inspiration.
31:44Why did Alice Wright
31:46come and sit here?
31:49A mountain ash.
31:51According to me
31:51gardening book
31:52also known
31:53as a rowan tree.
31:57So it is.
31:58A horticulturist
32:00as well as an artist,
32:01Miss Palmer.
32:03R.W.
32:04We've got now.
32:05Mum.
32:07Dedication from Alice
32:08to her late son.
32:10She died
32:11before mice.
32:14She...
32:23Oh, heavens.
32:26That's why
32:27she's here.
32:29Miss Palmer,
32:30please fetch
32:31Inspector Sullivan.
32:33We need to find
32:34Sister Agatha
32:36before it's too late.
32:37Yes, Father.
32:42Wash me yet more
32:43from my iniquity
32:44and cleanse me
32:45from my sin.
32:48Amen.
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?
33:10Reverend Wright.
33:11Stay back!
33:19You knitted this
33:20for Rowan,
33:21didn't you, Clarice?
33:22Because Alice
33:23was your friend.
33:25Where did you find that?
33:28Alice buried it
33:30in remembrance
33:32of Rowan.
33:35You're not really
33:36pregnant, are 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
34:02terrified
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
34:12yourself to
34:13the good refuge
34:15and waited
34:16to examine
34:17Nurse Hyde's
34:18records.
34:19I didn't want
34:19money.
34:20I just wanted
34:21to know the truth.
34:31I didn't want money.
34:34I just wanted
34:38to know the truth.
34:42what on earth
34:43are you doing?
34:45You let Rowan
34:46right freeze to death.
34:50With his affliction
34:51that child
34:51would have had
34:52no sort of a life.
34:53It was an act
34:55of kindness.
34:56Liar, you just
34:56couldn't sell him,
34:57could you?
34:58His mother
34:59would have loved
35:00Rowan forever
35:01with all her heart.
35:05What did you do
35:06with her?
35:06Where is Alice?
35:08In hell
35:09where she deserves
35:10to be.
35:11The girl died
35:12of a broken heart.
35:16She's dead
35:17because of you.
35:19I think you
35:20better leave
35:21now.
35:24Ah!
35:25Ah!
35:28Ah!
35:30Ah!
35:32Ah!
35:33Ah!
35:33Ah!
35:37And now
35:38I know the truth
35:39and you both
35:41killed him!
35:42Clarice,
35:43you want justice
35:44for your friend
35:45but this is not
35:47the way.
35:48I had no idea
35:50what nurse I'd
35:51have done.
35:51Liar.
35:52When I found
35:53Rowan in that room
35:54he was already dead
35:56so help me God.
35:58Clarice,
36:01you must repent.
36:05Confess
36:05and seek
36:06God's forgiveness
36:07for the sake
36:07of your
36:08immortal soul.
36:09I am not
36:10the one
36:11who needs
36:11to repent.
36:17What did
36:17you do
36:18with Alice?
36:21I think
36:22you owe
36:22her an answer
36:23Sister Agatha.
36:31Nurse Hyde
36:32persuaded me
36:33it would be best
36:33if we kept
36:34it all
36:35quiet.
36:40We buried
36:41Alice there
36:44with Rowan.
36:58eternal rest
36:59grant unto them
37:00O Lord
37:01and let
37:04perpetual light
37:05shine upon them.
37:08Amen.
37:09Amen.
37:10Amen.
37:20I thought you
37:21rot in hell.
37:26I didn't know how
37:27to stop her.
37:29I'm not a bad
37:30person, Father.
37:34the death of a baby
37:36and her mother.
37:39The forced
37:40sale of children.
37:43You were
37:44complicit,
37:45Sister Agatha.
37:47And that habit
37:49does not spare you
37:50from either blame
37:52or the law.
38:01how could you
38:02let this happen?
38:04Such cruelty,
38:05such evil
38:06and in a place
38:07of God.
38:09Oh, my Lord.
38:12Inspector Sullivan
38:14has agreed to
38:15handle this
38:15discreetly.
38:16So all in all,
38:18a satisfactory
38:19resolution.
38:21Satisfactory.
38:23Those women,
38:24those poor babes
38:25and all under
38:26your jurisdiction.
38:27You should be ashamed.
38:29Have you nothing
38:31to say,
38:31Father Brown?
38:33Mrs. McCarthy
38:34is very capable
38:35of speaking for herself,
38:36Canon Fox.
38:38All I'd say
38:39is this.
38:40It'll be a sad day
38:41for the church
38:42if you ever
38:43become bishop.
38:56Oh, my angels.
38:59Hey.
39:00Hey.
39:02My little angels.
39:04Hey.
39:05Oh, thank you
39:07so much.
39:09Hey.
39:12Ah, Mrs. McCarthy.
39:15We're rather taken
39:17with your home.
39:18Oh, well,
39:19thank you.
39:20Oh, we think
39:20it might be
39:21just what we need
39:22for a new beginning.
39:24So,
39:25we'd like you
39:26to name your price.
39:28Oh, my heavens.
39:32Absolutely delicious,
39:34Mrs. McCarthy.
39:35The best cottage pie
39:37in England.
39:38Oh, come now, Father.
39:40In Gloucestershire, perhaps.
39:42And
39:43profiteroles
39:44for pudding.
39:45Oh.
39:48So,
39:50what next
39:50for you two?
39:52Well,
39:54Auntie Bridget
39:55says I can
39:55keep my babies.
39:57Maura's no angel,
39:58but
40:00anyone can see
40:02she's a natural mother.
40:04I'm delighted
40:05for you both.
40:07So,
40:07Mrs.
40:08Haddington
40:08has offered
40:09them all
40:09a place with her
40:10here in
40:11Kembleford.
40:11And where
40:12will you go?
40:13Oh,
40:14I shall
40:14return home
40:15to Ireland.
40:16I want to go
40:17with her father,
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 may,
40:41if she turns up
40:42alone
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
40:53enough to face
40:54the music.
40:54I suppose the
40:55question is,
40:56Mrs. 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
41:15them to bits.
41:16Once she gets
41:16over the shock.
41:20You've been
41:21a true friend,
41:21Brenda.
41:31Now,
41:32I've, um,
41:33laid everything
41:34out in the house,
41:35so packing it
41:36all up should
41:37be quite easy.
41:38I don't doubt
41:39it, Mrs. McCarthy.
41:40And I think
41:41what you're doing
41:42is wonderful.
41:43Oh, I don't
41:44know about
41:44wonderful,
41:46but maybe
41:46back home
41:47we'll find
41:48more kindness
41:49and compassion
41:50than I give
41:51people credit
41:51for.
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.
42:22But 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.
42:34Thank you,
42:35Mrs. McCarthy.
42:36Thank you,
42:39Mrs. McCarthy.
42:39Thank you,
42:41Thank you,
42:41and
42:44you're
43:00Cannon Fox?
43:01Bishop-elect.
43:03The Vatican
43:03announced it
43:04this past
43:04hour.
43:06Well, I
43:07will ensure
43:07that our
43:08bells are
43:08rung in
43:09your honour.
43:11Although I
43:12fear the
43:13bells may
43:13be tolling
43:13for you,
43:14Father
43:14Brown.
43:15Once I
43:16take over,
43:17there'll be
43:18no more
43:19extracurricular
43:19distractions.
43:28Best listen
43:29to your
43:29boss,
43:29father.
43:45We'll be
43:46to work with
43:46him.
43:46That's
43:46that's
43:47what
43:47do.
