you wanted to be here.

Thank you.

The Weeping Madonna.

I'm sure you'll find

something here that'll fit.

- God bless you both.

- God bless you, Father.

God bless you.

Father, we've been waiting

for you eagerly.

We prayed for you.

We got delayed.

- I've read all your books.

- Thanks.

You know,

you don't look a thing like your pictures.

Fasting and prayer.

Yeah, it's such an honour

to have men of your learning...

and of your reputation here.

- We were so worried about you.

- Yeah.

We wired the diocese in Arizona.

Yeah, he told us. We appreciate it.

Well, thank the Lord you've come.

What's this?

You don't know what that is?

No.

It's a clothespin.

But, Father, why were you wearing it

in your collar?

The thing of it is...

You know what it is?

No.

It's a reminder.

Any of us

could be snatched at any moment.

Of course.

I'd like to add

one special prayer of thanksgiving.

My brothers and guests here today...

a special prayer of thanksgiving

for the safe arrival...

of Father Riley and Father Brown.

Many of us are acquainted

with their work...

and we are all, I'm sure...

glad of the opportunity

to meet them in person.

We're thankful for their presence,

their scholarship...

and their participation

in the procession of the shrine.

Today, a special blessing.

Father Brown,

would you render it for us?

I think you're Brown.

- I think you're Brown.

- You're Brown.

Father Brown.

Bishop Nogalich points out

it's his turn to say the grace.

Please tell the Bishop

we appreciate his courtesy...

in ceding his position

to our new arrivals.

Let him read. It's his turn.

I don't wanna get

in anybody's face here.

No, Father Brown. Please. Honour us.

Father...

if you could follow me to the lectern?

You know what?

Let's just say something appropriate.

Here's a good grace.

Be nice to strangers, 'cause

sometimes you're a stranger, too.

This is not a fitting grace.

What's wrong with it?

It's a bit unusual,

but quite to the point, I thought.

What are we, Protestants?

As soon as we pop off the leg irons...

You listening?

Jimmy, get out of it, will you?

Lay low here for a while,

I'm gonna find some way...

to pop us out these chains

and then we head across the river.

- We're safe staying right here, Ned.

- Yeah.

Until the real priests show up,

we're safe.

I hope you'll participate

in our lectures later on in the shrine.

I'd like nothing better.

We get these leg chains off,

then straight across the river.

You lay low around here.

Half an hour, meet you right back here.

- Father Brown.

- Who's Brown?

You are.

Shall I enter your name in the lottery?

What's the prize?

Don't bother.

- No, I never won anything.
