00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,640
Hello?

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,200
Father?

3
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:18,000
That's right, but, probably not

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,760
the one you were expecting.

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,160
Oh, it's you.
Father? Mrs Sullivan?

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,160
How nice to see you again,

7
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:29,440
Miss Palmer.

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,039
Mm-hm...
undefined

9
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:35,479
undefined

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:36,799
<font color="

11
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:39,560
What a lovely surprise.

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,039
It is indeed.

13
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:45,240
But I come bearing
this electrifying invitation.

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,280
Oh.

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,960
Lord Silk is throwing
a surprise soiree for my uncle

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,920
to welcome him back from Rome.

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,079
<font color="
celebrate before his consecration.

18
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:57,799
I'm quite sure my uncle
wouldn't want any of you to miss it.

19
00:00:57,799 --> 00:00:59,840
Not exactly something
to celebrate, though, is it?

20
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,359
I'm sorry?

21
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:05,000
Oh, what Brenda means is,
<font color="

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,159
Also, I must confess
to be in need of a favour.

23
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:11,439
Preparations for
the Mass of Consecration

24
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:14,039
are frightfully behind.
I don't suppose...

25
00:01:14,039 --> 00:01:17,039
Father Lindsey,
I'm at your complete disposal.

26
00:01:17,039 --> 00:01:19,159
<font color="

27
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:20,319
Marvellous.

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,319
Chance to show off your
new secretarial skills, Miss Palmer.

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,560
Jolly good.

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,359
And regarding the party,
mum's the word.

31
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:29,439
Toodle-pip.

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,560
Oh, dear.

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,519
<font color="
and Father Lindsey.

34
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:38,400
What could possibly go wrong?

35
00:01:39,478 --> 00:01:41,039
What, indeed?

36
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,319
Well, isn't
this just spectacular?

37
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:27,599
It must cost a fortune to heat.

38
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:37,599
Why is this party
in Hambleston anyway?

39
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:41,319
<font color="
to be parish priest here,

40
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:43,719
long before Father Lindsey.

41
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:46,360
Thank you all so much for coming.

42
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,159
Mrs Nettles, fancy seeing you here!

43
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:50,800
As my parish secretary,

44
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,879
Mrs Nettles is in charge of
the consecration committee. Oh!

45
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:58,360
<font color="
reinforcements you promised me.

46
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,960
Well, yes.

47
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Mrs Sullivan couldn't organise
the opening of an envelope

48
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,400
and I wouldn't trust
that Palmer girl to run a bath.

49
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,759
We can hear you, you know.

50
00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:09,719
It's just that St Mary's
<font color="

51
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:12,280
since Mrs McCarthy left.

52
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,759
This is going to be a disaster,
thanks to you.

53
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:15,840
Oh.

54
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,039
Oh, dear.

55
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:19,879
What a delightful woman.

56
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,479
Mrs Nettles is aptly named.

57
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,439
Oh! It must be him.

58
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:27,319
<font color="

59
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,520
Bishop-elect Fox.

60
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,159
Osmond.

61
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:44,280
How was Rome?
Unbearably hot.

62
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,000
But His Holiness
and I saw eye-to-eye on

63
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,319
a great many things.

64
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:52,280
To say I'm bursting with
pride is an understatement.

65
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,000
<font color="
that contraption somewhere before.

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Shall we join
Lord Silk in the garden?

67
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:02,960
I have a number of stipulations
concerning my Consecration Mass,

68
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,159
the first of
which is that Father Brown

69
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:07,360
must not be
<font color="

70
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,240
Oh, really?

71
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,479
Ah, trouble follows him
around like a foul smell,

72
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,400
although not for much longer,
I'm pleased to say.

73
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:19,399
You know, I really couldn't
think of a better place to write

74
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,800
the most important speech
<font color="

75
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,600
Absolute serenity is a must.

76
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,360
Hooray!

77
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,879
Ah.

78
00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:30,680
Surprise!

79
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,879
Oh, how nice.

80
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,360
Damian! Welcome back
to our humble abode.

81
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,399
Such an honour to
host you before your big day.

82
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:44,759
<font color="
Lord Silk.

83
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:46,480
Lady Martha,
it is good to see you.

84
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,439
It's been far too long,
Bishop-elect.

85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,879
Father, I don't believe we've
had the pleasure.

86
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:56,560
This his Father Brown of
Kembleford fame.

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,040
<font color="
Lady Martha.

88
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,480
Your reputation precedes you.

89
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,600
I'm a chum of Lady F's, you see.

90
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,199
Oh. A bit of a sleuth, I hear.

91
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,519
Quite simply, the best.

92
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:11,639
Canon Fox,
may I offer my warmest wishes

93
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,279
<font color="

94
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,519
and extend an
invitation to St Mary's

95
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:18,680
at your earliest opportunity.

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,439
Great minds, Father.

97
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,519
Paying you a visit was
at the top of my agenda.

98
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:28,360
Bishop-elect. Mrs Nettles.
<font color="

99
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,399
Perhaps I could
trouble you for a word.

100
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:32,158
Actually,
I could do with settling in.

101
00:05:32,158 --> 00:05:34,040
Oh, well, let me
show you to your room.

102
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,879
The rest of you, enjoy the party.

103
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:39,120
The bishop-elect will join us
<font color="

104
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:46,639
This place is incredible.

105
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:48,158
You're very lucky.

106
00:05:48,158 --> 00:05:51,120
Strictly between us, Brenda,
I find it stultifying.

107
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,720
Fools-what?

108
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,279
It comes with
certain...expectations.

109
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,720
With any luck, I'll be
<font color="

110
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,040
To fulfil my dream
of reading English at Cambridge.

111
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,079
Oh, wow!

112
00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:08,639
My dream is to be
a parish secretary,

113
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:10,399
but I don't think
that'll actually happen.

114
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:12,000
Why ever not?

115
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,399
<font color="
just have to take a leap.

116
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:15,920
Your tasks for Sunday.

117
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,079
No mistakes or
you'll have to answer to me.

118
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,480
Charm really isn't her forte.

119
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,000
She just tried to enlist me!

120
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,160
It's Father Lindsey
I feel sorry for.

121
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,199


122
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:33,800
<font color="
the man of the moment!

123
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,240
Bishop-elect,

124
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,360
I can't tell you
how proud I am to know you,

125
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,480
to have supported your
charitable endeavours and ambitions,

126
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,399
all of which shows my appreciation
for your unwavering support.

127
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:58,399
<font color="
when I lost my dear wife, Grace,

128
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:02,519
and for making my
son Bertie see sense.

129
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:06,680
His sacrifice makes
me so proud to this day.

130
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Not to mention
your guidance of Martha,

131
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,360
who valiantly keeps
<font color="

132
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,279
So, without further ado,
a toast to Bishop-elect Fox.

133
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:21,680
To Bishop-elect Fox.

134
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,480
Thank you, Lord Silk.

135
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,720
I'm indebted to my
most honourable of friends

136
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,920
and to you all for coming.

137
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,079
Especially Father Brown,

138
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:34,560
<font color="
a very exciting announcement.

139
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,360
You, Father, will be my
guinea pig, so to speak,

140
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,839
for a new endeavour for our diocese.

141
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:43,000
A sort of pastoral exchange.

142
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:47,639
You'll take over a parish
in the Highlands of Scotland

143
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:51,439
<font color="
Father MacDougall to St Mary's.

144
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:52,959
He can't do that.

145
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:58,560
This is merely temporary,
of course. Just for a year or two.

146
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,800
Thank you, everyone.

147
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,600
Shall we resume the music?

148
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,279
Let us celebrate!

149
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,920
Canon Fox,
<font color="

150
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,000
This is my home.

151
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,519
My flock.

152
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:20,079
My family.

153
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:22,920
Father, think how much
better a priest you'll be without

154
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,160
the distraction of your
extracurricular activities.

155
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:29,800
Canon, I dispute...
Besides which,

156
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,158
<font color="
Flambeau and Father Lazarus

157
00:08:33,158 --> 00:08:36,158
have made you
ignominious in the Vatican,

158
00:08:36,158 --> 00:08:39,440
which doesn't
reflect at all well on me.

159
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,720
I see. No, Kembleford needs
a fresh start,

160
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,919
<font color="
trouble amongst the sheep, can you?

161
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,759
That private word, Canon?

162
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:54,799
Yes, indeed, Mrs Nettles.
No time like the present.

163
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,200
I'll make that visit to St Mary's
first thing, Father.

164
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,519
We can go over the finer
<font color="

165
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:07,240
What's taking so long?

166
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,279
Ah, there you are, Father.

167
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,759
I'm afraid Canon Fox has
made up his mind.

168
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:19,559
Heavens above.
To add insult to injury,

169
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,919
Father MacDougall will be bringing
his own parish secretary.

170
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:24,440
<font color="

171
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,120
Although you may stay on
as housekeeper, Miss Palmer.

172
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,559
Oh, whoop-de-doo (!)

173
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,120
I don't
believe this is happening.

174
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,039
Well, let's try and look
on the bright side, shall we?

175
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:38,120
Perhaps it's for the best.
<font color="

176
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,360
Yes, well, I mean, I will be able to
do my job properly.

177
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360
No offence, Father.
Edgar!

178
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,879
None taken.
Please stop talking.

179
00:09:44,879 --> 00:09:47,720
Don't forget, I was demoted
because of him.

180
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,960
This could be a fresh start
<font color="

181
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,200
Well, you made
a pig's ear of that,

182
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,840
just like you do
with your investigations.

183
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,840
You'd be lost without Father Brown.

184
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,399
And so would I.

185
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,080
Excuse me. Oh, dear.

186
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,240
After all I've done for you!

187
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
<font color="

188
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,120
Mrs Nettles,
I think it's time you left.

189
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,399
With pleasure.

190
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,559
I'm afraid I feel
a migraine coming on.

191
00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:24,240
Thank you
everyone so much for coming,

192
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,480
but now I think we should
<font color="

193
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,159
from his journey from Rome.

194
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:41,080
I want to wring his neck.

195
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,320
Perhaps you
should make yourself scarce

196
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,039
when Canon Fox arrives, Miss Palmer.

197
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,279
Hello!

198
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:50,080
Just what we need.

199
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,840
I am sorry, Father,
<font color="

200
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:56,639
I don't suppose you've
seen my uncle, have you?

201
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:59,080
I was supposed to meet him
nearby for breakfast an hour ago.

202
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960
Perhaps he got
waylaid at Salt Manor?

203
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,799
Indeed. I'll pop my head in.

204
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:06,879
I'll accompany you, if I may.

205
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:11,000
<font color="
one more time to his better nature.

206
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,159
Father, I can think
of nothing I'd like more.

207
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,360
We didn't want to bother him.

208
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,720
I just assumed he
needed a good night's sleep.

209
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,399
Canon Fox?

210
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:32,639
Damian?

211
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,679
<font color="

212
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:39,279
If I may.

213
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:46,600
What on earth are you doing?

214
00:11:55,879 --> 00:11:58,360
Well done, Father.
I thought you'd approve.

215
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,840
Oh, my word!

216
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,840
Oh, dear...

217
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:11,159
Head between your knees.

218
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,840
Looks like this
was used as a weapon.

219
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:25,120
<font color="

220
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,559
Given the bloody assault,

221
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,159
the broken glass on the
inside of the opened door,

222
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:33,240
and the absence
of the bishop-elect,

223
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,519
I surmise that he's been abducted.

224
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:37,039
You mean kidnapped?

225
00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:38,519
But why?

226
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,039
<font color="

227
00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:44,919
When did you last see Canon Fox?

228
00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:47,759
Oh, we had a
nightcap just after 10.00pm,

229
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:49,399
then he retired here.

230
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,759
I've telephoned
quite literally everywhere.

231
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:55,200
He's nowhere to be found.

232
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,600
Goodfellow, let's get this place
<font color="

233
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,759
Right you are, sir.

234
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:02,639
Curious. What happened here?

235
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,080
Intriguing.

236
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,600
Fathers, please. Not again.

237
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:12,279
Oh, yes. Sorry.

238
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:13,639
A thousand apologies.

239
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:18,279
Inspector, important guests are
arriving from all over the globe.

240
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,720
<font color="
disaster if the bishop-elect

241
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,559
does not attend tomorrow.

242
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,399
I will use all resources
at my disposal.

243
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:26,440
We'll find him.

244
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:30,399
May I ask who else
stayed in the house last night?

245
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:33,559
Well, just Martha and myself.
<font color="

246
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,080
Then as soon as we're done here,
I'll start with the woman

247
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,000
who threatened Canon Fox yesterday.

248
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,919
Inspector, I think it best

249
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:42,639
if Father Lindsey and I
leave you to it.

250
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:44,000
Oh, really?

251
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,559
Oh, yes.

252
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:49,720
<font color="

253
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:56,320
Are you really
accusing me of kidnap, Fathers?

254
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,120
The thought hadn't
entered our minds, Mrs Nettles.

255
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,200
We are merely trying to understand
what happened yesterday.

256
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,759
You said to Canon Fox,
"After all I've done for you."

257
00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:08,559
<font color="

258
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,600
What we talked about
is strictly confidential.

259
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:18,759
But let's just say
I know where the bodies are buried,

260
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:20,639
or indeed where they are not.

261
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:26,000
Are you trying to use confidential
information for personal gain?

262
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,440
<font color="

263
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,559
Perhaps you believe you should share
in Canon Fox's elevation.

264
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:35,519
Canon Fox should have taken
me with him in the first place,

265
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:38,720
not left me here to fester with
this hapless co...

266
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,279
Comedian.

267
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:43,600
I think that your
<font color="

268
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,960
with the post
of a parish secretary.

269
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,559
I think you're puerile
investigations

270
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:51,600
are incompatible with
the vocation of a priest.

271
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:56,919
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a
consecration to prepare for.

272
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,600
<font color="
Yes? My study.

273
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,600
Goodbye, Fathers.

274
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Oh, you can expect
the police at any moment.

275
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,279
I gather they're
very keen to interrogate you.

276
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,440
Ah, there you are, Father.

277
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,360
Something I thought
<font color="

278
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,240
The butler heard raised voices
last night at about ten o'clock,

279
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,759
Canon Fox and Lord Silk.

280
00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:41,200
Then I will
return and follow that up.

281
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:46,120
I feel duty-bound
to retrieve my future bishop.

282
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,960
Even though he wants to banish
<font color="

283
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,840
Brenda, it could be a way
to stop this ridiculous exchange.

284
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,159
I best get on.
Good luck, Father.

285
00:15:55,159 --> 00:15:56,840
Likewise, Sergeant.

286
00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:00,639
Father Lindsey is on
his way to the procathedral.

287
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:02,679
Are you still
<font color="

288
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:05,519
I'm not sure what the point
is without the star of the show.

289
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:08,559
Well, I'll do anything to
get away from Edgar at the moment.

290
00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:11,919
And I'm taking these to charity.

291
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:16,120
Do you think anyone will want them?
No.

292
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,159
<font color="

293
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,360
Shall we?

294
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:38,759
Hmm.

295
00:16:38,759 --> 00:16:41,399
I've had a letter from Cambridge.
Oh, yes?

296
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:42,960
They've offered me a place.

297
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,120
I'm so proud of you, Martha.

298
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,039
Just a shame about
the timing. The timing?

299
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:51,000
<font color="
your mother's charitable work,

300
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,519
you'll be expected
to step into the breach.

301
00:16:54,519 --> 00:16:57,240
But, Father,
It's all I've ever wanted.

302
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Well, you wouldn't want to let your
mother down, would you, Martha?

303
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,080
Of course not.

304
00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:04,799
<font color="

305
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,400
Lady Martha.

306
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:11,640
Lord Silk, may I have a word?
I'll leave you both to it.

307
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:15,118
Take a seat, Father.

308
00:17:16,598 --> 00:17:20,838
Scotch?
No, thank you.

309
00:17:20,838 --> 00:17:24,279
Now, I gather there were
raised voices in this very room

310
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:29,160
<font color="
Canon Fox. Oh. Ha-ha!

311
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,480
The notorious detective at work!

312
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,039
Yes. We...

313
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:38,319
We had a debate
about charitable endeavours.

314
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:42,079
I'm a major donor
to the diocese, Father,

315
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:45,839
furthering the interests
<font color="

316
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:50,119
Which are? She was abandoned
as a child by an unmarried mother.

317
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:54,680
Her work at the Good Refuge
meant everything to her.

318
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,680
Ah. Recently closed down.

319
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,559
Mm.

320
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:02,640
Yet, Damian, Canon Fox,

321
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,039
<font color="
to establish a new residence.

322
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:09,559
But where are these
women to go now, Father?

323
00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:12,160
I implored him to think again.

324
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,039
What was his response?

325
00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:15,319
He said he would.

326
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,680
So, Father,
now I need you to find him

327
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,880
<font color="

328
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,400
St Mary's presbytery.
Father, it's me.

329
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,119
Canon Fox.
Call off the search.

330
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,920
I assure you, I'm fine.

331
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,720
Where are you?

332
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,359
Indulging in
a period of contemplation

333
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,359
<font color="

334
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,119
Somewhere private.

335
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,480
I see.

336
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,640
And for what it's worth,
I regret what I said yesterday

337
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,960
about you not making trouble
amongst the Highland cattle.

338
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:02,400
I understand.

339
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,920
Thank you, Father.
<font color="

340
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:10,279
He's sending me a message.

341
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,519
On Friday, he said that
I wouldn't be able to cause trouble

342
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:17,039
amongst the sheep,
not Highland cattle.

343
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,960
He's telling me something's wrong.

344
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,160
So he really has been kidnapped.

345
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,000
Yes, but...why?

346
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,160
<font color="

347
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,640
We had no luck identifying
the source of the telephone call,

348
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,559
I'm afraid,

349
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:35,720
and found nothing of interest at
Mrs Nettles' house or Silk Manor.

350
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,599
Can you imagine
the embarrassment

351
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:40,839
when he doesn't turn
<font color="

352
00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:44,559
Which is exactly why I have my
superiors breathing down my neck.

353
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:48,119
And we have...two hours left.

354
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,119
It's time we collected Mrs Nettles.

355
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,440
Actually, would you mind if I had a
quick word with Isabel first?

356
00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:57,880
Oh!

357
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,279
<font color="

358
00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:08,559
Thank you, Edgar.

359
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:10,960
See, that wasn't so hard,
was it?

360
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,559
Oh, no, no, no.

361
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:15,640
I'm so sorry that
this is difficult to see now,

362
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,759
but I honestly believe
that you will come to see

363
00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:20,599
<font color="

364
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:21,960
And why is that?

365
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,400
Spending time in our new home,

366
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,960
and to visit Eddie,
and for holidays.

367
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,480
I mean, I...
I earn enough for both of us.

368
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,359
I can keep you now.
You deserve that.

369
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,319
<font color="
I don't want to be kept?

370
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:41,680
And I detest...these!

371
00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:56,880
Mrs Sullivan, calm down!

372
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,839
From now on, call me Mrs Devine.

373
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,960
Oh, dear. Father, just in time.

374
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,200
You won't believe what has happened.

375
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,519
Look at the
<font color="

376
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:13,559
Has there anything
of value been taken?

377
00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:15,559
Not as far as we can see.

378
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:19,359
I think we can assume
that information was the target

379
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,359
and given that this
was once Canon Fox's study,

380
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:23,359
pertinent to his kidnapping.

381
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,519
<font color="

382
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:30,200
That's all very well but,
Mrs Sullivan,

383
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,400
I needed to be at the
procathedral an hour ago.

384
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,920
We'll meet you there later.
Good luck, Fathers.

385
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,920
Miss Palmer, given your burgeoning
secretarial skills,

386
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,880
<font color="
anything is obviously missing.

387
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,400
I'll do my best.

388
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,720
I keep returning to what
Mrs Nettles said in here yesterday.

389
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,519
That she "knew where
the bodies were buried."

390
00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:56,279
Did she mean literally?

391
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:58,160
<font color="

392
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:03,960
My uncle's diary.

393
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,519
19th of May, 1944.
"Breakthrough with Bertie Silk.

394
00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:17,440
"He signed up as per my advice."

395
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,960
Making him see sense.

396
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,559
That would explain why
Lord Silk was so grateful

397
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:25,640
to Canon Fox in his speech.

398
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,880
<font color="
didn't look too happy to hear that.

399
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,880
What if she blamed
Canon Fox for her brother's death?

400
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,799
Mrs Sullivan?

401
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,960
Mrs Sullivan!

402
00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:49,519
We need to get to Silk Manor.

403
00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:51,759
I can see if
I can borrow that van.

<font color="
are needed here, Miss Palmer.

405
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,920
Father, I have
a rather novel idea.

406
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,160
We could take Tindall,

407
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,640
but it would require some expert
coordination.

408
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,759
Bravo, Father Lindsey.

409
00:23:10,759 --> 00:23:13,160
I do seem to

410
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,839
Argh, no!

411
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,000
A thousand apologies.
Accepted.

412
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:27,480
We must hurry.

413
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,319
Time is not on our side.

414
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:32,119
Of course.

415
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,559
Come along, Tindall.
The race is not yet won.

416
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,839
One hour, Chief Superintendent.
<font color="

417
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,279
I have no choice but to get ready.

418
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:51,200
Perhaps all of
you should do the same.

419
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,960
I'll see you there.

420
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,680
How can I help you, Fathers?

421
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,400
Your brother, I presume.

422
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,400
Our glorious Bertie,
taken far too soon.

423
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,400
<font color="

424
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,920
Tearing down the corridors,

425
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,039
getting lost in the hidey-holes.

426
00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:10,119
Now it feels like a prison.

427
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,720
You must miss him terribly.

428
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,920
I think about him all the time,

429
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,240
but I can't pretend
he was happy here either.

430
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,079
He never quite
<font color="

431
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:22,799
What happened to your mother?

432
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:26,440
She died, giving birth to me.

433
00:24:28,279 --> 00:24:30,000
I'm so sorry.

434
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,839
It seems it is my destiny
to carry on her good work.

435
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,160
I am to turn down
my place at Cambridge.

436
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,960
My father's wish.

437
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,799
<font color="
would have been quite different.

438
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:44,039
Perhaps she would have
preferred you live your own life

439
00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:47,319
rather than one
prescribed by her absence.

440
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:49,240
My father doesn't think so.

441
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,119
I couldn't help noticing how you
<font color="

442
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,359
Bertie was exempted
with a nervous disposition,

443
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,759
yet it transpires that, thanks
the Canon Fox's intervention,

444
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:05,599
he signed up and was a
lamb to the slaughter in Normandy.

445
00:25:05,599 --> 00:25:08,039
Lady Martha, I must ask,
<font color="

446
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:10,160
for what has
happened to Cannon Fox?

447
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,079
I am not going to
dignify that with an answer.

448
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:17,119
Now, Fathers, if you'll excuse me,
I really must get ready.

449
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,599
Of course.
We will see ourselves out.

450
00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:33,039
<font color="

451
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,200
I think Lady Martha has
the most compelling motive.

452
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,000
So what do we do now?

453
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,279
We must go to the
procathedral and tell them

454
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:45,400
that the
consecration must be postponed.

455
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,519
Think you can face another spin?

456
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,319
<font color="

457
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:06,160
Mr Trotter said I
could have it until four,

458
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,000
as long as I clean it out after.

459
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,079
Your ingenuity knows no bounds,
Miss Palmer.

460
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:13,200
Thank you, Father.

461
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,079
But pooh-ee! It's quite
the fishy whiff. Yeah, sorry.

462
00:26:16,079 --> 00:26:19,000
<font color="
Did you find anything?

463
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,279
Just this.

464
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:22,640
Misfiled.

465
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,559
Looks like Mrs Nettles isn't that
good at her job after all.

466
00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:26,680
Heavens, no.

467
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,200
She's appalling at
anything actually secretarial.

468
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,440
<font color="

469
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,000
11 years ago.

470
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,200
"The favour has been granted
and must never be spoken of again."

471
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,319
Mrs Nettles said she knew where
the bodies were buried, or not.

472
00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:48,160
Perhaps, on this occasion,
Canon Fox was doing a good deed.

473
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,599
<font color="

474
00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:55,200

The what?

476
00:26:56,599 --> 00:26:59,480
You two, go, hold them
off as long as you can.

477
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,279
I will get in there.

478
00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:02,880
Good luck, Father!

479
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,400
Godspeed!

480
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,240
Canon Fox, are you all right?

481
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,720
What took you so long?!

were not immediately apparent.

483
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,480
I know who did this and why.

484

Yes, yes, just get me out of here!

485
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,279
We will get you
to your consecration on time.

486
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,680
I'm afraid not.

487
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:33,680
I really wish you
hadn't interfered, Father.

488
00:28:38,119 --> 00:28:40,640
<font color="
Thank you.

489
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:43,720
Oh!

Well?

491
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,960
He'll be here any minute.

492
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,319
45 minutes.
If they're not here by then,

493
00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:54,680
we'll all have egg on our faces.

494
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,000
They'll be here.

495
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,200
I assure you,
<font color="

496
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,400
He'd better, or
you are going to have to get

497
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,680
up there and give
everyone the bad news yourself.

498
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,519
Oh, dear.

What is that awful smell?

For goodness' sake, Rufus,

If I leave now, I can still make it.

503
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:17,680
You lied to me.

504
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,079
I know what happened.
You know nothing, Father!

505
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:26,799
You learned something
truly shocking at the party.

506

The Bishop's Palace is
where I belong,

Frankly, I can

I'm sorry?!

510

Mrs Nettles, you are undoubtedly the
worst secretary I've ever had.

The notion that I'd employ
you again is quite ludicrous.

And what if I let

How do you
think Lord Silk would react

514

to knowing his son is still alive?

515
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:02,720
You were supposed to be my friend.
He is.

516
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,559
You said yourself
that he supported your family.

517
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,759
Bertie went to him for help.

518
00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:14,920
<font color="
to sign up,

519
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,000
but of a painfully
nervous disposition,

in need of a way out,
which Canon Fox provided.

521

There might be another way, Bertie.

522
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,519
He betrayed me.

Understandably, you wanted

Please, Rufus, let it go. No!

00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:52,519
You attempted to misdirect.

531
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:55,440
You staged a break-in.

532
00:30:58,759 --> 00:31:02,599
The marks from the priest hole door
gave you away.

533
00:31:06,039 --> 00:31:10,359
And your search of Canon Fox's
previous study proved fruitless.

534
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:12,519
I must know what happened.

535
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:15,680
<font color="
the seal of the confessional.

536
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,039
He is bound by it, as am I.

537
00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:22,839
You didn't take his confession,

538
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:24,640
so you will tell me.

539
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Where is Bertie?

540
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,799
I don't know.

541
00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:32,160
Then we're back where we started.

542
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,880
Rufus, I believe
<font color="

543
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,759
but I think you know
why this happened.

544
00:31:39,759 --> 00:31:42,599
Would you do me the courtesy
of telling me?

545
00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:51,039
Bertie was full of fear.
Of course he was.

546
00:31:51,039 --> 00:31:53,279
The boy was emotionally incontinent.

547
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:55,680
He could never have fought
<font color="

548
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,799
but you desperately
clung to the fiction

549
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:01,759
that he signed up and died
a hero's death,

550
00:32:01,759 --> 00:32:04,160
which blinded you to the real truth.

551
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,799
The thing he was most afraid of...

552
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,039
..was you.

553
00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:15,680
Poppycock.

554
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,559
<font color="

555
00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:21,200
I'm so sorry, Rufus.

556
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,039
No...

557
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:24,519
No.

558
00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:26,240
It's lies.

559
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,440
You leave me no choice.

560
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,519
Please, God, forgive me.

561
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:35,839
Lord Silk, if you do this,
you will surely face the gallows.

562
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:39,480
But if you confess and repent...

563
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,720
<font color="

564
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,119
A gift denied to so many parents.

565
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:52,039
How could he do this to me?

566
00:32:56,079 --> 00:32:59,440
Now that the truth is out,
I hope one day

567
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,039
you will be able to ask him
that question yourself.

568
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,039
That's it, I won't wait any longer.

569
00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:14,079
<font color="

570
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:17,400
Go inside and tell them
it's all off.

571
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,759
Now!

572
00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:24,680
Mrs Nettles,
has it escaped your notice

573
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,039
that you work for Father Lindsey,
not the other way around?

574
00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:31,039
I have complete faith
in Father Brown,

575
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:33,799
<font color="
Hear, hear!

576
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:37,480
And as if on cue...

577
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,599
Tindall saves the day!

578
00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:42,759
Praise be! Tindall?
Tindall the tandem.

579
00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:49,359
Apologies for cutting it
a bit fine.

580
00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:51,200
Where is Lord Silk?

581
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,000
<font color="
in attendance.

582
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,759
My vestments, now!

583
00:33:55,759 --> 00:33:57,440
At once, Uncle.

584
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,519
Mrs Nettles, please announce
there will be a short delay.

585
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:01,839
Me?!

586
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:03,640
Chop, chop, Mrs Nettles.

587
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,279
You need to put that away.

588
00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:06,039
<font color="

589
00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:10,679
..our Holy Mother,
the Catholic Church...

590
00:35:11,679 --> 00:35:13,760
..demands of me

591
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,280
to promote the priest here present

592
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,760
to the heavy office of a bishop.

593
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,000
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

594
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,039
Henceforth, now and forever.

595
00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:28,639
<font color="

596
00:36:28,639 --> 00:36:33,400
and the Son and the Holy Ghost,
bless you.

597
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,280
Amen.

598
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,320
Amen.

599
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,119
Suffice to say, it has been
an eventful few days,

600
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:45,039
which have served to highlight
that I am only as effective

601
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:48,159
<font color="
in my diocese.

602
00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:53,760
Those priests who go beyond
the call of duty

603
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,199
and without whom I would not be
standing before you today.

604
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,840
Isabel?

605
00:37:21,039 --> 00:37:23,119
All's well that ends well.

606
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:27,039
Sir, Lord Silk is now
<font color="

607
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:30,079
Thanks to Father Brown
as opposed to you.

608
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,519
Thank you for Bertie.

609
00:37:36,039 --> 00:37:37,920
I'll write to him.

610
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,599
I'm sure he'll be in touch.

611
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:42,039
But your father will need you now.

612
00:37:42,039 --> 00:37:43,760
I'll go and see him,

613
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,760
and Bertie, of course,

614
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,320
<font color="

615
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,039
I've been offered a place,
which I'm going to accept.

616
00:37:50,039 --> 00:37:52,760
And what of your mother's
charitable interests?

617
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,159
My father can pay someone
to look after them.

618
00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:57,880
I've come to realise
they're not my burden to bear.

619
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,039
<font color="

620
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:01,880
Thank you, Lady Martha.

621
00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:10,039
Congratulations, my lord.

622
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,440
I was hoping, my lord,
after what has happened,

623
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,039
you might reconsider
the clerical exchange.

624
00:38:24,039 --> 00:38:28,559
Father Brown, you have been truly
indispensable these last few days.

625
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:32,719
<font color="
is on his way here.

626
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,440
A priest must be sent
to take his place.

627
00:38:39,199 --> 00:38:41,079
You must send him back.

628
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:44,559
Father Brown saved your life.

629
00:38:44,559 --> 00:38:47,039
Will you show the bishop
some respect?!

630
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:50,199
Oh, put a sock in it, Mrs Nettles!

631
00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:53,480
<font color="
clashes with Father Brown,

632
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,039
but his contributions to Kembleford
far outweigh his duties as a priest.

633
00:38:58,039 --> 00:39:00,760
He has helped me... No.

634
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,960
In fact, he has solved
many a case,

635
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,440
ably assisted by my beautiful wife.

636
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:08,920
And me!

637
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,280
<font color="

638
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,519
Please, I implore you,
do everything in your power

639
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:17,039
to keep Father Brown
in his rightful place.

640
00:39:17,039 --> 00:39:19,760
The Inspector's right.
We need Father Brown.

641
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,039
Please, don't send him away.

642
00:39:22,039 --> 00:39:24,079
These are moving tributes,

643
00:39:24,079 --> 00:39:27,159
<font color="
that I cannot stop.

644
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,679
I'm sorry.

645
00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:33,679
Uncle.

646
00:39:33,679 --> 00:39:35,639
Bishop. My lord.

647
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,920
If it is essential that a priest
be sent in return...

648
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,119
..then I will send myself.

649
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:47,159
Osmond, no. In fact, it will be
<font color="

650
00:39:47,159 --> 00:39:49,760
to do this for the greatest man
I've ever met.

651
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,760
I refuse.
And I refuse your refusal.

652
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,519
I've always wanted to visit
the Highlands of Scotland.

653
00:39:55,519 --> 00:39:57,760
I hear they have
very strange cattle.

654
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,320
<font color="
with you.

655
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,239
I must confess to feeling relieved.

656
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:08,039
And as Father MacDougall is bringing
his own parish secretary...

657
00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:10,280
Looks like you're out of a job.

658
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,639
Urgh!

659
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,280
On your own head be it.

660
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,280
I don't know what to say.

661
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,719
<font color="

662
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,199
We all will, won't we, Edgar?
Yes.

663
00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:48,119
From now on,
I will do just as I'm told.

664
00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:00,280
You're all right, you know?

665
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,039
Sorry I thought you were a murderer
when we first met.

666
00:41:04,039 --> 00:41:08,039
And I think you are positively
<font color="

667
00:41:08,039 --> 00:41:10,679
What a fine parish secretary
you'll make one day.

668
00:41:10,679 --> 00:41:12,519
Oh, good,

669
00:41:12,519 --> 00:41:14,760
because I've got an idea.

670
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,840
Lady Martha and Lord Bertie
have been reunited.

671
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,840
Turns out he was working
as a librarian in Largs.

672
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,679
<font color="

673
00:41:31,039 --> 00:41:35,079
Father, I will never forget
what you did.

674
00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:37,119
I'm just glad I could help.

675
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:39,920
What an adventure this
is going to be. I can't wait.

676
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,079
Where's Brenda?
You'd think she would...

677
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:47,039
Oh.

678
00:41:47,039 --> 00:41:49,599
<font color="

679
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:53,280
There's a parish secretary job
going and I think I can do it.

680
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,119
I know you can.

681
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:00,119
Is this really goodbye?

682
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:02,840
It's goodbye to the girl
who couldn't read

683
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,039
and was only good at mopping floors.

684
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:08,679
<font color="

685
00:42:08,679 --> 00:42:10,079
No...

686
00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:13,760
..that was because of you,
Brenda Palmer.

687
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,039
We couldn't be more proud.

688
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:25,519
Besides, someone needs to look
after that one over there.

689
00:42:25,519 --> 00:42:28,320
And I know Father Brown
is in the best hands.

690
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,039
<font color="

691
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,519
You know what you mean to me.

692
00:42:38,519 --> 00:42:41,920
I'll write every week.
You'll be sick of my letters.

693
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,760
I doubt that.

694
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,000
Will we ever see you again?
Course you will.

695
00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:51,199
I best...
We've got a train to catch.

696
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,920
<font color="
I'm quite sure it will.

697
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,039
I hear the English are
spectacularly popular in Scotland.

698
00:43:02,039 --> 00:43:04,039
What can possibly go wrong?

699
00:43:04,039 --> 00:43:06,519
And away we go!

700
00:43:06,519 --> 00:43:08,039
Godspeed.

701
00:43:09,039 --> 00:43:11,280
Father, Mrs Sullivan...

702
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,920
<font color="

703
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,400
..I will miss you so much.

704
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,880
The feeling is entirely mutual.

705
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,679
End of an era, Father.

706
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,039
And now we have an empty nest.

707
00:43:39,039 --> 00:43:41,039
