Why don't you?

Everything's so expensive.

Canned goods.

- Cheaper to shop in Canada.

- Why don't you?

'Cause my car's wrecked.

If I walk over, how am I gonna

get my groceries back?

After what you've done for us...

we'll go with you

and fetch your things back.

Very Christian of you.

You know what the Bible says.

What? What's that?

You know.

Matter of fact, I usually

do my shopping over there.

Wouldn't let on to Harry.

You think that's dishonesty,

you just go on and think it.

- I can't do it.

- You can, Jim, it's a piece of cake.

I can't do it.

You wanna kill yourself, that's fine...

but there's two of us here,

and I'm counting on you.

So you buck up, Jimmy,

and you act like a priest!

Hail Mary, full of grace...

- Morning, Mrs. Blair.

- How are you today?

- You're working hard?

- Well, we're looking...

for those convicts that escaped.

Convicts...

Hey, I found 'em for you!

I found your two lost priests.

Where have you been?

Well, you know.

- Sheriff, you know who these are?

- No.

Caroline has found our lost priests.

This is Father Brown and Father Riley.

Thank the Lord.

We thought maybe the convicts got you.

- Convicts.

- Had a jailbreak.

Got me some killers on the loose.

That's all right, boy.

But where have you been?

And where are your clothes?

They got lost when... You know.

Found 'em coming through the woods.

Looked like

a couple of raggle-taggle gypsies.

Gypsies? Do you know who these are?

This is Fathers Brown and Riley.

Brown and Riley,

A New Look At Revelation?

These are two of the finest thinkers

in the church today.

You're lucky.

You say you were lost in the woods...

you're lucky one of my boys didn't

get on to you, take you for the convicts.

- What would they've done?

- Done? Why, they would've shot you.

We've been meeting every bus

for two days.

That's all right, boys,

you let 'em through.

Now you have a good day,

now, Mrs. Blair.

We'd best be getting back now.

We gotta help Mrs. Blair

with her groceries.

George!

Run along over with Mrs. Blair

and help her with her shopping!

We wired Arizona

when you didn't arrive on time...

but they said they had no clue.

Your monsignor is quite worried.

Then the storm, and these prisoners...

- I don't know.

- I'll tell you something.

Nothing was gonna keep us

from coming here.

Shall we go in?

Get these chains knocked off

at the blacksmith's...

then into these priest duds

and back over the border.

You call it, Neddy.

- Coming?

- Yeah.

I know this must be

quite a moment for you...

having written

so much about the shrine...

having never seen it.

That's why

I took you back from the border.

I knew how much
