Hello?

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,760
Father?

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,160
That's right, but, uh, probably not
the one you were expecting.

00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,160
Oh, it's you.

00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,440
Father? Mrs Sullivan?

Miss Palmer.

Mm-hm...

11
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:36,800
Father Lindsey!

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,560
What a lovely surprise.

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,040
It is indeed.

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,240
But I come bearing
this electrifying invitation.

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,280
Oh.

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,960
Lord Silk is throwing
<font color="

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,920
to welcome him back from Rome.

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,080
Just the ticket to
celebrate before his consecration.

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,800
I'm quite sure my uncle
wouldn't want any of you to miss it.

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,840
Not exactly something
to celebrate, though, is it?

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,360
<font color="

22
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,360
I'm sorry?

Oh, what Brenda means is,
we'll be there! Splendid.

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,160
Also, I must confess
to be in need of a favour.

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,440
Preparations for
the Mass of Consecration

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,040
are frightfully behind.
<font color="

27
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,040
Father Lindsey,
I'm at your complete disposal.

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,160
As is Brenda. You what?

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,320
Marvellous.

30
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,320
Chance to show off your
new secretarial skills, Miss Palmer.

31
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:24,560
Jolly good.

32
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,360
And regarding the party,
<font color="

00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,440
Toodle-pip.

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,560
Oh, dear.

35
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,520
A party with Canon Fox
and Father Lindsey.

36
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,400
What could possibly go wrong?

37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,040
What, indeed?

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Well, isn't
this just spectacular?

39
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,600
It must cost a fortune to heat.

40
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,600

in Hambleston anyway?

41
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,320
Lowly Father Fox used
to be parish priest here,

42
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,720
long before Father Lindsey.

43
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,360
Thank you all so much for coming.

44
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,160
Mrs Nettles, fancy seeing you here!

45
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,800
As my parish secretary,

46
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,880
<font color="
the consecration committee. Oh!

47
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,360
Tell me these aren't the
reinforcements you promised me.

48
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,960
Well, yes.

49
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Mrs Sullivan couldn't organise
the opening of an envelope

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,400
and I wouldn't trust
<font color="

51
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,760
We can hear you, you know.

52
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,720
It's just that St Mary's
really hasn't been the same

53
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280
since Mrs McCarthy left.

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,760
This is going to be a disaster,
thanks to you.

55
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,840
Oh.

56
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,040
Oh, dear.

57
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,880

58
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,480

Oh! It must be him.

Everyone round the back, quickly!

62
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,520
Bishop-elect Fox.

63
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Osmond.

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,280
How was Rome?
Unbearably hot.

65
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,000
But His Holiness
<font color="

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,320
a great many things.

67
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,280
To say I'm bursting with
pride is an understatement.

68
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,000
I'm sure I've seen
that contraption somewhere before.

69
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Shall we join
Lord Silk in the garden?

70
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,960
I have a number of stipulations
<font color="

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,160
the first of
which is that Father Brown

72
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360
must not be
allowed within a mile of it.

73
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,240
Oh, really?

74
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,480
Ah, trouble follows him
around like a foul smell,

75
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,400
although not for much longer,
<font color="

76
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,400
You know, I really couldn't
think of a better place to write

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,800
the most important speech
of my life.

78
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,600
Absolute serenity is a must.

79
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,360
ALL: Hooray!

80
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,880
Ah...

81
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Surprise!

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

84
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,400
Such an honour to
host you before your big day.

85
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,760
The honour is all mine,
Lord Silk.

86
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,480
Lady Martha,
it is good to see you.

87
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,440
It's been far too long,
<font color="

88
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,880
Father, I don't believe we've
had the pleasure.

89
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,560
This his Father Brown of
Kembleford fame.

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,040
Pleased to meet you, Lord Silk.
Lady Martha.

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,480
Your reputation precedes you.

92
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,600
I'm a chum of Lady F's, you see.

93
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,200
<font color="

94
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Quite simply, the best.

95
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Canon Fox,
may I offer my warmest wishes

96
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,280
in advance of your consecration

97
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,520
and extend an
invitation to St Mary's

98
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,680
at your earliest opportunity.

99
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,440
<font color="

100
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,520
Paying you a visit was
at the top of my agenda.

101
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,360
Bishop-elect. Mrs Nettles.
It's been such a long time.

102
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,400
Perhaps I could
trouble you for a word.

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,160
Actually,
I could do with settling in.

104
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,040
<font color="
show you to your room.

105
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,880
The rest of you, enjoy the party.

106
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,120
The bishop-elect will join us
in due course.

107
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640
This place is incredible.

108
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,160
You're very lucky.

109
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,120
Strictly between us, Brenda,
I find it stultifying.

110
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,720
<font color="

111
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,280
It comes with
certain...expectations.

112
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:59,720
With any luck, I'll be
leaving soon. Why's that, then?

113
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,040
To fulfil my dream
of reading English at Cambridge.

114
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,080
Oh, wow!

115
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,640
My dream is to be
<font color="

116
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,400
but I don't think
that'll actually happen.

117
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Why ever not?

118
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,400
Sometimes you
just have to take a leap.

119
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,920
Your tasks for Sunday.

120
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,080
No mistakes or
you'll have to answer to me.

121

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

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

124
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,200
GLASS IS TAPPED

125
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,800
LORD SILK: Well, here he is,
the man of the moment!

126
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,000
APPLAUSE

127
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,240
Bishop-elect,

128
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,360
<font color="
how proud I am to know you,

129
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,480
to have supported your
charitable endeavours and ambitions,

130
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,400
all of which shows my appreciation
for your unwavering support.

131
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,400
For being there
when I lost my dear wife, Grace,

132
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,520
<font color="
son Bertie see sense.

133
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,680
His sacrifice makes
me so proud to this day.

134
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,040
Not to mention
your guidance of Martha,

135
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,360
who valiantly keeps
her mother's spirit alive.

136
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,280
So, without further ado,
<font color="

137
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,680
ALL: To Bishop-elect Fox.

138
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,480
Thank you, Lord Silk.

139
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,720
I'm indebted to my
most honourable of friends

140
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,920
and to you all for coming.

141
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,080
Especially Father Brown,

142
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,560
as it enables me to make
a very exciting announcement.

143
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,360
<font color="
guinea pig, so to speak,

144
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,840
for a new endeavour for our diocese.

145
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,000
A sort of pastoral exchange.

146
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,640
You'll take over a parish
in the Highlands of Scotland

147
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,440
while we welcome
Father MacDougall to St Mary's.

148
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,960
<font color="

149
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,560
This is merely temporary,
of course. Just for a year or two.

150
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,800
Thank you, everyone.

151
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,600
Shall we resume the music?

152
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Let us celebrate!

153
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,920
Canon Fox,
may I have a word, please?

154
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,000
This is my home.

155
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,520
<font color="

156
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,080
My family.

157
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,920
Father, think how much
better a priest you'll be without

158
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,160
the distraction of your
extracurricular activities.

159
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,800
Canon, I dispute...
Besides which,

160
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,160
your endeavours with
<font color="

161
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,160
have made you
ignominious in the Vatican,

162
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,440
which doesn't
reflect at all well on me.

163
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,720
I see. No, Kembleford needs
a fresh start,

164
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,920
and you can't cause nearly as much
<font color="

165
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,600
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

166
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,760
That private word, Canon?

167
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,800
Yes, indeed, Mrs Nettles.
No time like the present.

168
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,200
I'll make that visit to St Mary's
first thing, Father.

169
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,520
We can go over the finer
<font color="

170
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,240
What's taking so long?

171
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,280
Ah, there you are, Father.

172
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,760
I'm afraid Canon Fox has
made up his mind.

173
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,560
Heavens above.
To add insult to injury,

174
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:22,920
Father MacDougall will be bringing
his own parish secretary.

175
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,440
<font color="

176
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,120
Although you may stay on
as housekeeper, Miss Palmer.

177
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,560
Oh, whoop-de-doo (!)

178
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,120
I don't
believe this is happening.

179
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,040
Well, let's try and look
on the bright side, shall we?

180
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,120
Perhaps it's for the best.
<font color="

181
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,360
Yes, well, I mean, I will be able to
do my job properly.

182
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360
No offence, Father.
Edgar!

183
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,880
None taken.
Please stop talking.

184
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,720
Don't forget, I was demoted
because of him.

185
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,960
This could be a fresh start
<font color="

186
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,200
Well, you made
a pig's ear of that,

187
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,840
just like you do
with your investigations.

188
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,840
You'd be lost without Father Brown.

189
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,400
And so would I.

190
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,080
Excuse me. Oh, dear.

191
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,240
After all I've done for you!

192
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
<font color="

193
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,120
Mrs Nettles,
I think it's time you left.

194
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,400
With pleasure.

195
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,560
I'm afraid I feel
a migraine coming on.

196
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,240
Thank you
everyone so much for coming,

197
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,480
but now I think we should
<font color="

198
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,160
from his journey from Rome.

199
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,040
CHURCH BELLS TOLL

200
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,080
I want to wring his neck.

201
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,320
Perhaps you
should make yourself scarce

202
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,040
when Canon Fox arrives, Miss Palmer.

203
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,280
Hello!

204
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,080
Just what we need.

205
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,840
<font color="
about this awful business.

206
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,640
I don't suppose you've
seen my uncle, have you?

207
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,080
I was supposed to meet him
nearby for breakfast an hour ago.

208
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960
Perhaps he got
waylaid at Salt Manor?

209
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,800
Indeed. I'll pop my head in.

210
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,880
<font color="

211
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,000
I would like to appeal
one more time to his better nature.

212
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:15,160
Father, I can think
of nothing I'd like more.

213
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,360
We didn't want to bother him.

214
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,720
I just assumed he
needed a good night's sleep.

215
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,680
KNOCK ON DOOR

216
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:31,400
<font color="

217
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,640
Damian?

218
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,680
It's locked.

219
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,280
If I may.

220
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,600
What on earth are you doing?

221
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,360
Well done, Father.
I thought you'd approve.

222
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,840
Oh, my word!

223
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,840
Oh, dear...

224
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,160
Head between your knees.

225
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,840

was used as a weapon.

226
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,120
The word of God himself.

227
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,560
Given the bloody assault,

228
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:31,160
the broken glass on the
inside of the opened door,

229
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,240
and the absence
of the bishop-elect,

230
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,520
I surmise that he's been abducted.

231
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,040
<font color="

232
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,520
But why?

233
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,040
Yes, thank you, Father.

234
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,920
When did you last see Canon Fox?

235
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,760
Oh, we had a
nightcap just after 10.00pm,

236
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,400
then he retired here.

237
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,760
I've telephoned
quite literally everywhere.

238
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,200
<font color="

239
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,600
Goodfellow, let's get this place
dusted for prints.

240
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,760
Right you are, sir.

241
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,640
Curious. What happened here?

242
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,080
Intriguing.

243
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,600
Fathers, please. Not again.

244
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,280
Oh, yes. Sorry.

245
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,640
A thousand apologies.

246
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,280
<font color="
arriving from all over the globe.

247
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,720
It would be a
disaster if the bishop-elect

248
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,560
does not attend tomorrow.

249
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:25,400
I will use all resources
at my disposal.

250
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,440
We'll find him.

251
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,400
May I ask who else
<font color="

252
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,560
Well, just Martha and myself.
The staff had all gone home.

253
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:36,080
Then as soon as we're done here,
I'll start with the woman

254
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,000
who threatened Canon Fox yesterday.

255
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,920
Inspector, I think it best

256
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,640
if Father Lindsey and I

257
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,000
Oh, really?

258
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,560
Oh, yes.

259
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,720
Toodle-pip.

260
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,320
Are you really
accusing me of kidnap, Fathers?

261
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,120
The thought hadn't
entered our minds, Mrs Nettles.

262
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,200
We are merely trying to understand
<font color="

263
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,760
You said to Canon Fox,
"After all I've done for you."

264
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,560
What did you mean by that?

265
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,600
What we talked about
is strictly confidential.

266
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,760
But let's just say
I know where the bodies are buried,

267
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,640
<font color="

268
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:26,000
Are you trying to use confidential
information for personal gain?

269
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,440
To what end, Father?

270
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,560
Perhaps you believe you should share
in Canon Fox's elevation.

271
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,520
Canon Fox should have taken
me with him in the first place,

272
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,720
<font color="
this hapless co...

273
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Comedian.

274
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,600
I think that your
attitude is incompatible

275
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,960
with the post
of a parish secretary.

276
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,560
I think you're puerile
investigations

277
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,600
are incompatible with
<font color="

00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a
consecration to prepare for.

279
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,600
Mrs Nettles, this is actually...
Yes? My study.

280
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,600
Goodbye, Fathers.

281
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Oh, you can expect
the police at any moment.

282
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,280
<font color="
very keen to interrogate you.

283
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,440
Ah, there you are, Father.

284
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,360
Something I thought
you should know.

285
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,240
The butler heard raised voices
last night at about ten o'clock,

286
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,760
Canon Fox and Lord Silk.

287
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,200
Then I will
<font color="

288
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,120
I feel duty-bound
to retrieve my future bishop.

289
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,960
Even though he wants to banish
you to the other end of the country?

290
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,840
Brenda, it could be a way
to stop this ridiculous exchange.

291
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,160
I best get on.
<font color="

292
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,840
Likewise, Sergeant.

293
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,640
Father Lindsey is on
his way to the procathedral.

294
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,680
Are you still
able to lend him a hand?

295
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,520
I'm not sure what the point
is without the star of the show.

296
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,560
Well, I'll do anything to
<font color="

297
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,920
And I'm taking these to charity.

298
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,120
Do you think
anyone will want them? Um, no.

299
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,160
I wholeheartedly agree, Father.

300
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,360
Shall we?

301
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,760
BELL RINGS

302
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,760
Hmm.

303
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,400
I've had a letter from Cambridge.
<font color="

304
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,960
They've offered me a place.

305
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,120
I'm so proud of you, Martha.

306
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,040
Just a shame about
the timing. The timing?

307
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,000
Well, as I retire from
your mother's charitable work,

308
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,520
you'll be expected
<font color="

309
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,240
But, Father,
It's all I've ever wanted.

310
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Well, you wouldn't want to let your
mother down, would you, Martha?

311
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,880
Of course not.

312

KNOCK ON DOOR

00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,800
My Lord, Father Brown.

314
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,400
Lady Martha.

315
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,640
<font color="
I'll leave you both to it.

316
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,120
Take a seat, Father.

317
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,840
Scotch? Uh, no, thank you.

318
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,280
Now, I gather there were
raised voices in this very room

319
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,160
last night between you and
<font color="

320
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,480
The notorious detective at work!

321
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,040
Yes. We, uh...

322
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,320
We had a debate
about charitable endeavours.

323
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,080
I'm a major donor
to the diocese, Father,

324
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,840
furthering the interests
of my dear late wife.

325
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,120
<font color="
as a child by an unmarried mother.

326
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,680
Her work at the Good Refuge
meant everything to her.

327
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,680
Ah. Recently closed down.

328
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,560
Mm.

329
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,640
Yet, uh, Damian, Canon Fox,

330
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,040
didn't feel it was a priority
<font color="

331
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,560
But where are these
women to go now, Father?

332
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,160
I implored him to think again.

333
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,040
What was his response?

334
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,320
He said he would.

335
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,680
So, Father,
now I need you to find him

336
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,880
so he can make good on that promise.

337
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,640
<font color="

338
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,400
St Mary's presbytery.
Father, it's me.

339
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,120
Canon Fox.
Call off the search.

340
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:37,920
I assure you, I'm fine.

341
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,720
Where are you?

342
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,360
Indulging in
a period of contemplation

343
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:45,360
before my consecration.

344
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,120
<font color="

345
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,480
I see.

346
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,640
And for what it's worth,
I regret what I said yesterday

347
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,960
about you not making trouble
amongst the Highland cattle.

348
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,400
I understand.

349
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,920
Thank you, Father.
May God be with you.

350
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,280
<font color="

351
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,520
On Friday, he said that
I wouldn't be able to cause trouble

352
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,040
amongst the sheep,
not Highland cattle.

353
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,960
He's telling me something's wrong.

354
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,160
So he really has been kidnapped.

355
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,000
Yes, but...why?

356
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,160
And by whom?

357
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,640
<font color="
the source of the telephone call,

358
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,560
I'm afraid,

359
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,720
and found nothing of interest at
Mrs Nettles' house or Silk Manor.

360
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,600
Can you imagine
the embarrassment

361
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,840
when he doesn't turn
<font color="

362
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,560
Which is exactly why I have my
superiors breathing down my neck.

363
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,120
And we have...two hours left.

364
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:50,120
It's time we collected Mrs Nettles.

365
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:54,440
Actually, would you mind if I had a
quick word with Isabel first?

366
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,880
Oh!

367
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:07,280
<font color="

368
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:08,560
Thank you, Edgar.

369
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,960
See, that wasn't so hard,
was it?

370
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,560
Oh, no, no, no.

371
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,640
I'm so sorry that
this is difficult to see now,

372
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,760
but I honestly believe
that you will come to see

373
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,600
<font color="

374
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,960
And why is that?

375
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,400
Spending time in our new home,

376
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,960
and to visit Eddie,
and for holidays.

377
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,480
I mean, I...
I earn enough for both of us.

378
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,360
I... I can keep you now.
You deserve that.

379
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,320
<font color="
I don't want to be kept?

380
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,680
And I detest...these!

381
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,880
BRENDA: Mrs Sullivan, calm down!

382
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,240
TYRES SCREECH

383
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,840
From now on, call me Mrs Devine.

384
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,960
Oh, dear. Father, just in time.

385
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,200
<font color="

386
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,520
Look at the
state of the place!

387
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,560
Has there anything
of value been taken?

388
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Not as far as we can see.

389
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,360
I think we can assume
that information was the target

390
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:23,360
and given that this
<font color="

391
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:25,960
pertinent to his kidnapping.

00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:25,960
CLOCK BELLS CHIME

393
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,520
Bravo, Father.

394
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,200
That's all very well but,
Mrs Sullivan,

395
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,400
I needed to be at the
procathedral an hour ago.

396
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,920
We'll meet you there later.
<font color="

397
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,920
Miss Palmer, given your burgeoning
secretarial skills,

398
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,880
perhaps you could ascertain whether
anything is obviously missing.

399
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,400
I'll do my best.

400
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,720
I keep returning to what
Mrs Nettles said in here yesterday.

401
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,520
<font color="
the bodies were buried."

402
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,280
Did she mean literally?

403
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,160
What if she meant Bertie?

404
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,960
My uncle's diary.

405
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,520
19th of May, 1944.
"Breakthrough with Bertie Silk.

406
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,440
"He signed up as per my advice."

407
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,960
Making him see sense.

408
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,560
<font color="
Lord Silk was so grateful

409
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,640
to Canon Fox in his speech.

410
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,880
I recall that Lady Martha
didn't look too happy to hear that.

411
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,880
What if she blamed
Canon Fox for her brother's death?

412
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,800
Mrs Sullivan?

413
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:44,960
Mrs Sullivan!

414
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,520
<font color="

415
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,760
I can see if
I can borrow that van.

416
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,160
Your investigative skills
are needed here, Miss Palmer.

417
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,920
Father, I have
a rather novel idea.

418
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,160
We could take Tindall,

419
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,640
but it would require some expert
<font color="

420
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,760
Bravo, Father Lindsey.

421
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,160
I do seem to
be getting the hang of it.

422
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Argh, no!

423
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,000
A thousand apologies.
Accepted.

424
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,480
We must hurry.

425
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,320
Time is not on our side.

426
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,120
Of course.

427
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:35,560
<font color="
The race is not yet won.

428
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,840
One hour, Chief Superintendent.
You better find him!

429
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,280
I have no choice but to get ready.

430
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,200
Perhaps all of
you should do the same.

431
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,960
I'll see you there.

432
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,680
How can I help you, Fathers?

433
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,400
<font color="

434
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,400
Our glorious Bertie,
taken far too soon.

435
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,400
We used to love this place.

436
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,920
Tearing down the corridors,

437
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,040
getting lost in the hidey-holes.

438
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,120
Now it feels like a prison.

439
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:11,720
You must miss him terribly.

440
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,920
<font color="

441
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,240
but I can't pretend
he was happy here either.

442
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,080
He never quite
got along with my father.

443
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,800
What happened to your mother?

444
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,440
She died, giving birth to me.

445
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,000
I'm so sorry.

446
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,840
It seems it is my destiny
<font color="

447
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,160
I am to turn down
my place at Cambridge.

448
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,960
My father's wish.

449
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,800
Perhaps your mother's wishes
would have been quite different.

450
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,040
Perhaps she would have
preferred you live your own life

451
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,320
rather than one
<font color="

452
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,240
My father doesn't think so.

453
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,120
I couldn't help noticing how you
reacted to his speech on Friday.

454
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:57,360
Bertie was exempted
with a nervous disposition,

455
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:01,760
yet it transpires that, thanks
the Canon Fox's intervention,

456
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,600
<font color="
lamb to the slaughter in Normandy.

457
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,040
Lady Martha, I must ask,
are you responsible

458
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,160
for what has
happened to Cannon Fox?

459
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,080
I am not going to
dignify that with an answer.

460
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,120
Now, Fathers, if you'll excuse me,
<font color="

461
00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:19,600
Of course.
We will see ourselves out.

462
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,040
What do you think, Father?

463
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:37,200
I think Lady Martha has
the most compelling motive.

464
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,000
So what do we do now?

465
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,280
We must go to the
procathedral and tell them

466
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,400
<font color="
consecration must be postponed.

467
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,520
Think you can face another spin?

468
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,920
CAR APPROACHES, HORN TOOTS

469
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,320
Miss Palmer!

470
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,160
Mr Trotter said I
could have it until four,

471
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,000
as long as I clean it out after.

472
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,080
Your ingenuity knows no bounds,
<font color="

473
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,200
Thank you, Father.

474
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,080
But pooh-ee! It's quite
the fishy whiff. Yeah, sorry.

475
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,000
Well done, Miss Palmer.
Did you find anything?

476
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,280
Um, just this.

477
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,640
Misfiled.

478
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,560
Looks like Mrs Nettles isn't that
<font color="

479
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,680
Heavens, no.

480
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,200
She's appalling at
anything actually secretarial.

481
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,440
It's from the War Office.

482
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,000
11 years ago.

483
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,200
"The favour has been granted
and must never be spoken of again."

484
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,320
Mrs Nettles said she knew where
<font color="

485
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,160
Perhaps, on this occasion,
Canon Fox was doing a good deed.

486
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,600
Of course!

487
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,200
The hidey-holes.

488
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,600
The what?

489
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,480
You two, go, hold them
off as long as you can.

490
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,280
I will get in there.

491
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,880
<font color="

492
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,400
Godspeed!

GRATE SCRAPES

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

496
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,720
What took you so long?!

497
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,960
Well, your whereabouts
were not immediately apparent.

498
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,480
I know who did this and why.

499
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,680
<font color="

500
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,280
We will get you
to your consecration on time.

501
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,680
I'm afraid not.

502
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,680
I really wish you
hadn't interfered, Father.

503
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,640
MRS NETTLES: Just along here.
Thank you.

504
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,720
Oh!

505
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,760
Well?

506
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,960
<font color="

507
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,320
45 minutes.
If they're not here by then,

508
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,680
we'll all have egg on our faces.

509
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,000
They'll be here.

510
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,200
I assure you,
Father Brown will keep his word.

511
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,400
He'd better, or
you are going to have to get

512
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,680
<font color="
everyone the bad news yourself.

513
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Oh, dear.

514
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,320
What is that awful smell?

515
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,760
Oh!

516
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,240
For goodness' sake, Rufus,
put the gun down!

517
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,600
If I leave now, I can still make it.

518
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,680
You lied to me.

519
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,080
<font color="
You know nothing, Father!

520
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,800
You learned something
truly shocking at the party.

521

The Bishop's Palace is
where I belong,

522
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,560
at your right hand.

523
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,360
Frankly, I can
think of nothing worse.

<font color="

525
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,440
Mrs Nettles, you are undoubtedly the
worst secretary I've ever had.

526
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,280
The notion that I'd employ
you again is quite ludicrous.

527
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,440
And what if I let
slip about what you've done?

528
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,920
How do you
think Lord Silk would react

<font color="

530
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,720
You were supposed to be my friend.
He is.

531
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,560
You said yourself
that he supported your family.

532
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,760
Bertie went to him for help.

533
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,920
Faced with intolerable pressure
to sign up,

534
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,000
but of a painfully
<font color="

535
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,280
in need of a way out,
which Canon Fox provided.

536
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,480
There might be another way, Bertie.

537
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,520
He betrayed me.

538
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,680
Understandably, you wanted
to know the truth...

539
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,000
Put your hand on this
and swear to me,

540
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,520
<font color="

541
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,680
Please, Rufus, let it go. No!

542
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,880
Even if I did know anything,
I wouldn't be able to tell you.

543
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,840
Oh, I think you will!

544
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,760
..but you lost control.

545
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,520
You attempted to misdirect.

546
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,440
You staged a break-in.

547
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,600
<font color="
gave you away.

548
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,360
And your search of Canon Fox's
previous study proved fruitless.

549
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,520
I must know what happened.

550
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,680
Canon Fox will never break
the seal of the confessional.

551
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,040
He is bound by it, as am I.

552
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,840
<font color="

553
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,640
so you will tell me.

554
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Where is Bertie?

555
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,800
I don't know.

556
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,160
Then we're back where we started.

557
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,880
Rufus, I believe
you are a good man,

558
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,760
but I think you know
why this happened.

559
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,600
<font color="
of telling me?

560
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,040
Bertie was full of fear.
Of course he was.

561
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,280
The boy was emotionally incontinent.

562
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,680
He could never have fought
in the war,

563
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,800
but you desperately
clung to the fiction

564
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,760
<font color="
a hero's death,

565
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,160
which blinded you to the real truth.

566
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,800
The thing he was most afraid of...

567
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,040
..was you.

568
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,680
Poppycock.

569
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,560
Listen to Father Brown.

570
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,200
I'm so sorry, Rufus.

571
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,040
No...

572
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,520
No.

<font color="

574
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,440
You leave me no choice.

575
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,520
Please, God, forgive me.

576
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,840
Lord Silk, if you do this,
you will surely face the gallows.

577
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,480
But if you confess and repent...

578
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,720
..you may see your son again.

579
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,120
A gift denied to so many parents.

<font color="

581
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,440
Now that the truth is out,
I hope one day

582
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,040
you will be able to ask him
that question yourself.

583
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,040
That's it, I won't wait any longer.

584
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,080
There is still a minute.

585
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,400
Go inside and tell them
it's all off.

<font color="

587
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,680
Mrs Nettles,
has it escaped your notice

588
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,040
that you work for Father Lindsey,
not the other way around?

589
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,040
I have complete faith
in Father Brown,

590
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,800
who has never let me down.
Hear, hear!

591
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,480
And as if on cue...

Apologies for cutting it
a bit fine.

Where is Lord Silk?

596
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,000
I'm afraid he will not be
in attendance.

I was hoping, my lord,
after what has happened,

643
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,040
you might reconsider
<font color="

644
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,560
Father Brown, you have been truly
indispensable these last few days.

645
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,720
But Father MacDougall
is on his way here.

646
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:35,440
A priest must be sent
to take his place.

647
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,080
You must send him back.

648
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,560
Father Brown saved your life.

Oh, put a sock in it, Mrs Nettles!

651
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,480
Bishop Fox, I've had my own
clashes with Father Brown,

652
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,040
but his contributions to Kembleford
far outweigh his duties as a priest.

653
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,760
He has helped me... Erm, no...

654
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,960
<font color="
many a case,

00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,440

Please, I implore you,
do everything in your power

00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,320
And I know Father Brown
is in the best hands.

711
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,040
Goodbye, Father.

712
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,520
You know what you mean to me.

713
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,920
I'll write every week.
You'll be sick of my letters.

714
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,760
I doubt that.

715
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,000
Will we ever see you again?

716
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,200
I best, erm...
We've got a train to catch.

717
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,920
I hope it all goes well up there.
I'm quite sure it will.

718
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,040
I hear the English are
spectacularly popular in Scotland.

719
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,040
What can possibly go wrong?

720
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,520
<font color="

721
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,040
Godspeed.

722
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,280
Father, Mrs Sullivan...

723
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,920
Yes? I just wanted to say...

724
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,400
..I will miss you so much.

725
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,880
The feeling is entirely mutual.

726
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,520
ENGINE STARTS

727
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,680
End of an era, Father.

728
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,040
<font color="

729
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,040
Because she's flying.

730
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,680
Yes...

731
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,440
..she is.
