your time. Sorry to bother you.

Have a cracking day, mate!

- Have a good trip.

Good luck with it!

Can you smell that?

It's cows.

I hate cows.

Why do people do this?

Satanists, supposedly. They

record messages on them.

Spells, curses, that sort of thing...

- Curses?

I got it.

Oh dude.

That's nature for you, Deacon.

Big stuff eating little stuff.

One glance in the bible

will tell you that.

Or take the miracle of Lanciano.

In the year 700 a Basilian monk had doubts

over the actual physical presence

of Jesus Christ in the holy Eucharist.

While he was performing the

ceremony, before his eyes

the bread and the wine transformed

into chunks of living flesh.

The question is:
Do you give cows names?

My mate at school, Scott Andrews,

he said he gives his cows names,

or did when he was a kid,

and then they couldn't kill them.

They got like attached to them

and then that cow ended up living

with them for like about 14 years -

the life span of a cow. They said

it was a massive pain in the arse.

Cheery stuff.

You alright?

I'm alright, yeah. Just

hanging with my home boy.

Afternoon, Barry.

Father Crellick?

I think you've been expecting us.

Oh yes, of course! I wasn't sure

what time you'd be arriving.

The Relator General has been delayed

but I'm Deacon and this is Gray.

Alright.

I was under the impression that you fellows

would make me feel underdressed.

"You all shall be dressed in humility,

for God resists the proud"

"and gives grace to the humble."

I'll show you where it happened.

- Thank you.

The decision of dedication

that you make today

is one of the most sacred and

significant you may declare.

I baptize thee

in the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy...

What's that?

Father...

That is mental! Have you seen this?

- Yes.

That is nuts!

It's great.

So how long have you been

here, father Crellick?

This has been a project of

mine for a few years now.

The diocese finally acquiesced and we

opened just over two months ago.

These are the church records

you asked for.

Great, thanks.

I don't quite understand. These

cameras, are they necessary?

We have to fully investigate every claim.

Claim?

What claim? We all saw it!

It was a very impressive video, father

Crellick, else we wouldn't be here.

It's not brain surgery.

It's a fundamentally simple kit.

HD cameras.

In this case:
pro 5-80s.

Electric screwdriver -

one for me,

one for you.

Okay.

It's getting late. Fancy a drink?

- Yeah.

Evening.

- Evening.

Gray, let's get these off, yeah?

You got Wi-Fi here by any chance?

Dude, I can't believe that video.

That's nuts. I must have

watched that 50 times today.

What happens if we
