Yeah.
And then when that's all done,we will come back
and do full episodeson those new episodes.
And then return to Father. Brown.

(02:13):
Yeah, so that's a rough schedule anyway.
So not doing Christmas Song.
No, you're.Getting minis and maxi episodes.
We're going to be doing twiceas many episodes in December.
That's probably enough for us.
Malik What's
we lost?
Joss? Oh, Mr.
Toad. And Mr. Toad.

(02:33):
Dixon's run? Yes.
Hatred and vixens.
Right.
Seasonnine Episode three A fantastic episode.
When do you remember the first timeyou saw him or heard him?
Oh, I don't know. He's.
He was in so many things.
So many things. Has to be for me.
Three Musketeers.
He plays one of the dadsand Three Musketeers.

(02:53):
Yeah, the Michael YorkThree Musketeers with Oliver Reed in it.
And Raquel Welch.
Really, if you understandanything about me, that is my child.
And that movie is so fantastic as a Spike
Milligan, as one of as the homeownerand one of the scenes.
I don't know what role I first saw him

(03:14):
in, but my two favorite roles
that Joss Ackland played were Freddyand Vixens Run.
He's just when he's eaten that roast.
Yeah, he's just so good.
He throws on purposeand he played mushroom ridden.
Kelly was the arch chancellorof the Unseen University and Hog Father,
which is a Terry Pratchettbook made into a made for TV movie.

(03:37):
And he was perfect as red color.
If you're a Pratchett fan. Absolutely.
Many people forget thathe was the black rabbit in Watership Down.
If you watch that movie again, you'relike, Whoa, these rabbits are depressing.
And while Black Rabbit is really.
Depressing, yeah, So.
And he's also in the Mighty Ducks.
He was in a. Lot of.

(03:58):
Yes, he was a busy boy.
95. What a life.
Yeah. What absence.
And cried a. Fantastic life.
Go watch it, Joss Ackland movieor watch Dickson's around again.
Speaking of movies, we watched.
We watched A Haunting in Venice this week.
Yes, the new KennethBranagh Agatha Christie adaptation.
Of Halloween Party.

(04:20):
Which liberal.
It's loosely based.
Yes. On a Halloween party.
It's unfortunate that. We're not.
Going to spoil it for you.
This takes place in 1947.
In Venice. 1947, Venice.
And I kept asking,Sarah, weren't these people fascist?
18 months ago?

(04:42):
It's just recoveringfascist in the background.
What were we thinking?What were we thinking?
A mini review for uswas I really like the first 45 minutes.
I thought it was atmospheric andhad some great magic lantern things in it.
And then it takesa turn that I did not like.
I'm just going to say,
if you like the other KennethBranagh prose, you'll like this one.

(05:05):
Oh, I think so, yes.
But don't watch it.
Comparing it to anything AgathaChristie ever wrote. No.
If you do that, you'll be dissatisfied.
No, but if you just go into it blindand just say this guy just happens
to be called Poirot, and he has a mustacheand said, everything else aside,
you can sort of enjoy. It's beautiful.

(05:26):
Oh, it's gorgeous.
I give it a ten out of ten.
Yeah.
For the set, the lighting, the camerawork.
It's. Well, it's outrageous.
It looks likeit's actually filmed in Venice.
Unlike Murder on the Nile.
That was a bit CGI.
Yeah.
Plot wise,I give it like three out of ten.
It takes a turn that we both didn't like.

(05:48):
We're not going to spoil it for you.
But the other thing we didwhile we were watching that was
I was on the Graham,the Instagram on the broadcast channel,
and I was live tweeting, well,live messaging as we watch that.
Yeah. Yeah.
And which we didn't announcewe were going to do or anything.
You just thought you give it a shot.

(06:09):
Just give me some. Fun with. It.
And then we asked people
if they would like us to do this moreand how they would like us to do it.
And overwhelminglypeople would like us to do it more,
but we should announcewhat we're going to do.
And everybody could do it together.
Everyone can do it together.
And what we'll do is postwhen we're going to do it.

(06:29):
Mm hmm.
And what channels you can find, whatwe're doing it on.
Yeah. Now.
So we're talking abouta live viewing party of some mystery show.
Yeah.
Where everybody can watch it togetherand comment and see what everybody else
is talking about.
Like a big chat roomalongside a viewing party.
We don't know what technology isgoing to work best for everybody to do it,

(06:53):
but enough people said they want us to doit, that we think that it's a good idea.
And so we're investigating.
Yeah, if you listen to another podcast
that does viewing partiesand you like how they do it, let us know.
Yes, definitelylisten to a couple that do it
and they always do it on discord,but we don't really use discord with.

(07:13):
Our yeah, with our. Community.
I just find discord kind of loud.And yeah.
It's very. Discombobulating. Yes.
But if that's the right place to do it,if that's what people tell
us, we'll give it a shot.
Otherwise, we're so we're looking aroundto see what platform would be best.
And if you have a recommendation,let us know.
Otherwise,we're going to keep investigating
and maybe try to do thisbefore the end of the year.

(07:34):
So we're not going to do the bits,the new bits.
No, no, no, no.
It'll be something that.
Everybody. Has
that is older, that is easily accessible,that it's available to everybody.
So this episode is number
five of season one, the Eye of Apolloand I.
I watched the episode again this weekand we listen to the hour episode

(07:58):
and we we drop the ball on somethingwe did.
We dropped the box on something.
What At the beginning,there's a box that they're loading into
the the mansion, right?
So it starts withthe cult is moving right.
And they're moving into this big countrymansion.
State. Estate. Yes.
And there's a big cratethat they bring off of a truck.

(08:19):
They never say what's in the crate.
And then we kind of mention it,but we don't say what's in the crate.
I think I think I think I know.
What What do you think is in the crate?
It's all the cult robes.
It's a big box, though, isn't it?
Like 4x4, four feet by four feet.
It's really heavy, too.
It takes a couple of guys to move it.
Oh, I know what it is. What is it?

(08:42):
I think I know exactly what it is.
Okay.
What is it, Sarah?
I think it's their monthly cult crate.
Oh, your monthly delivery of all your cultneeds.
You know, you get barkbox and snack crate.
Oh, okay. All those things. This is.
This is Cult Crate.So it makes sense that it's big.
What would come in Cult crate?All of your cult needs.
Like what.
Art supplies.

(09:02):
They do to a lot of people.
Is they. Got to have art supplies.
Come on everybody is a. PainterSign painters.
Signed, probably stencils for circles,I would think.
Third front.
So for the suns.
Yeah.
Robes, like you mentioned, you know,you'd need a monthly shipment of robes.
They get dirty, they get stabbed or.
Whatever, you know.

(09:23):
Thrown out a window,brainwashing paraphernalia.
They probably need that. Yes.
Bad cello players. Oh, yes. That.
Oh yeah.
The cello player.
Yes. Open the boxand there's a bad cello player inside.
And then,
you know,
like when you get a monthly subscriptionto something like that where you get
like a box of mystery things,sometimes they put in like a bonus item.

(09:46):
So the bonus items in your cult cratecould be things like Kool-Aid and Oh.
Wow, you wait.
All right.
It's flavor.
It really, you know,or it could be a lot of duct tape.
Oh, yeah. Yes.
Or a list of cult friendly attorneys.

(10:07):
I mean, there's all kinds of thingsthat your modern cult needs leader need.
So it's their monthly cold box.
Yeah. It's not quite the culprit.
We should subscribe to cult case.We should never know.
They're not a sponsor of our show. No,
that's what I think is in the back.
Anyway, you have enough.
This is episode 138Father Brown, Season one,

(10:29):
Episode 505 Apollooh Susanna Won't You Join My Cult?
Originally broadcaston the September 19, 2022.
Stay tuned tothe end for some extra stuff.

(10:56):
Hey, maniacs.
Hey, maniacs. It's mystery maniacs.
Mystery Maniacs is a comedy recap podcastdedicated to the British mystery TV.
Each weekwe dig into an episode of a show,
including the murders,the Mayhem, the loonies.
Oh, there's loonies hereand everything else we love.
This week.
We're covering Father Brown.
Season one Episode five The.

(11:18):
Eye of Apollo. I'm Mark.
I'm Sarah.
And if your kids can jointhe sun worshiping cult,
they can listen to this podcast.
I don't think there are any kidsin this cult and see any little kids now.
There's still kids.
There's this show is much likemidsummer is decidedly without children.
Yeah, I mean, there are some episodesof Father Brown with their kids,

(11:39):
but they're probably they're just as rareas they are in midsummer.
Yeah. Father Brown episode two.
It's our. Second.
Yes. Sorry. Sorry.
This is our second episode.
It was shown on the 18th of January.
They showed all ten episodesof Father Brown in three weeks. Wow.
When they first came out, it was.
Like a Father Brown blitz.

(12:00):
Father Brown blitz. Extravaganza of Brown.
Matt Carter and also this was likethe pilot written by Tashan Gunner.
Before we get into the episode,let's talk briefly
about the original storybecause it's really different
from the screenplaythat they wrote for this.
The story is very different,and I think the difference is interesting.

(12:22):
Yes, in the story I didn't read the story,
but I know the original74 version of the show.
It follows the story very closely.
Okay, I have read the story.
Father Brown and Flambeau.
Yes. Flambeau, the jewel thief.
Now, wait a minute.
Some people listening have not watchedany other Father Brown's than these two.

(12:42):
Okay, so, Flambeau is a former jewel thiefwho becomes a P.I.
and is a friend of Father
Brown in the storiesand in the seventies version of the show.
Not in this version of the show, Flambeauxa very different character who I love.
In this version in the 2013 show,
he is a rascal and he is on the runall the time from the police.

(13:07):
He's an international.
Jewel thief of. Mystery and romance.
Yes, in the stories and in the 74 showthat life is passed for him.
Yeah.
So he takes an office in a high risebuilding and a cop moves in
to the same building and two sisterswho run a secretarial office
in the same building.

(13:27):
One of them becomes entrancedwith the cult, the eye of Apollo,
and the other one doesn't.
And the one who does ends up dyingby falling down an elevator shaft.
And the cult is really basedon staring at the sun.
Yeah.
So the whole idea of the original cultis that if you are truly holy
and healed and whole and special, you canstare into the sun with no ill effects.

(13:52):
That's it's like snake handling.It's like a. Test.
That's why it's called the Eye of Apollo.
And why in this episode,there's no mention of eyes at all.
Except it's called The Eye of a Yes. Yes.
It's just the Church of Apollo,right? Yes.
It's an interesting differencebecause I think the screenwriters
this time, they had to change a lot
because they've got to move itinto Camelford. Yes, right.

(14:13):
So it's got to be in a villageand they need somebody close
to the storyto be a potential victim of the cult. Yes.
So Suzy ends up falling into the cultvery for a very short period of time.
And it's just a it's a key difference.
And in the original, in the seventiesversion, Kaylon, who leads
the cult, is a full blown charlatan.

(14:34):
He does not believe in the occult,knows it's all a fib
the whole time he's thinking.
About this stuff.
At the end of it,he stares in the sun long.
Enough that he falls offand. He falls off a building.
I think it's just a little safety note.
Staring into the sun is never a good idea.

(14:55):
Okay. If there is an eclipsewhere the special glasses.
All right.
Nobody is safe from that.
So that's a big difference.
We got that out of the way.
Yes, we're good.
We're good.
All right.
Let's talk about this episode.
Okay.
Could they have been more stereotypicallymysterious about a cult moving
into Camelford.
At the beginning?
It's a dark and stormy night.Dark and stormy.

(15:16):
There's lightning, which there's peoplein cloaks with hoods, there's fire and a.
Box, says Church. Of Apollo. Yes.
What's in the box?
What's in the. Pot?
At first I thought Kaylon was in the box.That'd be pretty impressive.
There would be if they carried himaround like Dracula in a box like that.
But it's not.
It's just their stuff, I guess.
And Father Brown, like Midsummeror just is the whole

(15:39):
the whole idea isit will flirt with the idea
that Supernatural exists,but then place you clearly in rationality.
At the end of the episode.
If Kaylon had been a vampire,it would've been shown
that he wasn't actually a vampire.He just thought he was.
He was wrong.
Yes, He's faking it. Poor Susie.
She's a refugee.
She has to deal with Mrs.

(15:59):
M all the time,and her hut catches on fire.
Lost her parents.
She lost her parents,and then she almost lost their photos.
Yeah. Whatknocks over the lamp in her hut?
The wind kaylon
the wind of Kayla.
He didn't just whisk into town,you know, in the dead of night
and move into a country estate.
So maybe he has Dracula

(16:20):
like powers elsewhere in the village,things are knocking over.
Don't fall asleep with awith a lantern lit.
Next. You're mad.That's a good rule of thumb.
Open fire or fire of any type and sleep.
Don't go together. Don't do that.
You are chosen.
Are you lonely D or laughs?
They moved into town the night before,under the cover of darkness.

(16:41):
Everybody already has the painful.
When did they go around putting outthe pamphlets in the middle of the night?
I love Mrs.
straightness.
She has these little outbursts.
Of, like, super dark stuff.
Like what's wrong with you,old woman? Well.
It's like daylight till, like,Satan is moving into a country, a state.

(17:04):
Your charge.
She's so mean.
Look, little lady, I'm doing it.
Clean it up. Shut up.
One of the great things in lifeis when people say they're fine
and they're not actually fineand everybody knows they're not fine,
but it's sometimes hard to do in showsand they do a great job of it here.
Yeah, because if you're an actoracting like you're fine, acting

(17:24):
like you're not fine,it's like double acting.
Yeah.
It's like actors who are goodat playing a character who's a bad liar.
Yeah. You know, it's tough. It's tough.
This is our first dealing with Sid said.
Yes, I love said.
So much Sid Carter,
who if you've only watched the episodesthat we're talking about,

(17:48):
you've missed kind of Sid's introductionin a previous episode.
But he is a man about town, he'sa young man, he's very independent.
I think he lives in a little trailer on ain a farm field.
He doesn't have a whole lot of back story,
but he knows a little bitabout everything.
He is Lady Felicia's driver.
In many of the episodes, she puts on achauffeur's uniform and drives her around.

(18:11):
He is an unreliable, reliable person.
But he's the guy with lots of jobs.
He's all job. He's entrepreneurial. Yes.
Today he's going around fixing people'selectrics because of the storm surge and.
Karen's. Influence on the electrical grid.
A jack of all trades.
Oh, he's
always scheming for a buckor free pint or.

(18:34):
Yeah.
There's many episodes where he convincesFather Brown
to go down to the pub and have. A pint.
And not a young lady goes by thathe doesn't have a look at.
But they look at him too.
Oh yeah. I like him so much. He's so fun.
But he's also he's a loyal person.
He's a good person. Yeah.
You know,
like if he found a $5 bill on the street,he would look for who owns it,

(18:55):
but not very hard.
Well, not to fast forward to the end,but at the end he is like Father Brown.
Heroic. Yeah.
He's definitely doing the right thing.
So the the. Boy.
That's a lot ofcanvases of the same thing.
My notes say.
I thought the Sun canvases were the resultof the most boring painting class ever

(19:17):
until I noticed that they were everso slightly different from one
another and accompanied by the worstcello painting playing ever.
Okay.
That woman was introducedto the cello today. Yes.
Just dragged the bow across it real slow.
And don't fret anything.
And then go the other way. Real slow.

(19:38):
Which is hard to do.
Okay.
Playinga boat instrument is a difficult thing.
All right?
But 10 minutes of it,you can usually make some sound.
But she actively doesn't touch the frets.
But I think they said to her,this is a really expensive cello,
you know, break it.
I just kept thinking, what a hassle
to wear an ankle length dressand have to get your legs around a cello.

(20:01):
Yeah,
can't be easy, but the pictures.
They're identical.
Except the sun is a little bit.
Up, a little bit up in the sky like. That.
That's all they're there for.
Like, if you've never seen the sun rise,this is what it looks like.
But maybe laterthey put them in a different order.
And it's gone down.

(20:22):
What if they were completely random or.
Jumping up and down?
Jumpy. Thud.
What is this thing anyway?
Is this aa recruitment drive thing here going on?
I think it's a combinationrecruitment drive.
And we are here in your village.
Let us introduce ourselves to you.
Before toomany rumors are about about who we are.

(20:45):
Okay.Which is smart. Headed off at the pass.
You know, make sure everybody knowsyou're not like gun toting loonies. Yes.
Living in thethe Lord's estate down the road.
And we want to.
Okay, let's just say this off the top.
If you're gun toting loony,we're not making fun of you.
Yes, we are. Okay, We are.
But I'm not worried about offending.

(21:07):
Gun toting loonies.
Just don't come to my house.I don't care if.
You're a member of the Church of Apollo.
We're here to help you.
If you're a member of the Churchof the candy.
A candy corn megaphone. Yeah.
We can help you get. Out of it.
So that symbol is a candy corn megaphone.
I don't care what anybody says.

(21:28):
That'swhat it is. We're going to get there.
But it's everywhere.
It's on the little fliers.
It's on all their robes.
Yeah, like.
Where can we put the candy corn megaphone?
We're going to put it there.
Okay.
All the time that this is happening,I'm looking at where they are.
It's a beautiful state. Yes.
So it's the Sudeley castles and gardensin the Cotswolds.

(21:51):
Oh, okay.
A couple of things of interest here.
They do archeological digs as tours.
Oh, they're just fun. Fun?
You could go be a time team person.
And they're not like, pretending to burystuff and let you find. It.
Do you remember those toys kids.
Used to get as kids?

(22:11):
That was like a block of sandwith a plastic fossil in the middle.
It made such a big mess.
Look, I'm a paleontologist now.
You're making a. Mess.
But what I want to go to is they
have these animalsthat are hedgerows, hedges.
Topiary.
Kind of. It's hard to tell what they are.
Well, they're bushes.Yeah. Shaped like animals.

(22:33):
Yeah, that's topiary.
You have, like,rhinoceroses and giant hedgehogs.
And that's incredible.
The super cool looking that's.
So difficult. To see.
I'll post some pictures.
That's shows such a level of dedication.
Well, and there's a really beautifullike it's not
I don't know if it's a hedge mazebecause it's only about knee high.
It may just be a really ornate like,like not work

(22:55):
hedge,but it's beautiful by the waterfall.
They have all these incrediblygorgeous animal sculptures.
So we're we're not supposed to believethat Dominique,
the lady of the couple, ownsthis place, right?
Like they're renting it their lives there.
But it's her money that's paying for it.
But what I noticed.
Where were theybefore they moved in there?

(23:16):
Somewhere with those other two ladies.
Okay.
The other thing I noticed isthere are ruins here.
So whenever I see a ruined churchin England, I'm thinking dissolution.
Yeah, Henry,the apes did that. It's his fault.
So there is some.
There is royalty attached to this placein that there's
especially Richard the third.

(23:36):
There's references to him here.
But I thought it was interestingthat there was a Catholic
at a cult activityin a disillusioned church.
They were trying to do something there.
I don't think you could be a Catholicin England and not occasionally end up
someplace where it waswhere a monastery was dissolved.
What's what's the pasttense of dissolution?

(23:57):
This was a disasterwhere it was destroyed.
By Henry the Age.
Also,the thing I don't like about this cult
both here and in in the original.
In the original is my Britishcults are coming to flavors.
They come in the the crazy Satanistbig parties in the mansion cult.

(24:20):
Mm hmm.
Okay. Like, what's his name? Bald guy?
Aleister Crowley.
Like, that's one type of cult.
The second type of cult isthe people who put you in wicker.
Man, You're. The pagan aliens.
Yeah, those are.
Those are the British.
Not not just pagans, not regular pagans.
Not regular.
Pagan talking about They're not real.

(24:41):
If you're a regular pagan.
That's fine. That's fine is now over.
But if you put people in wicker, man,and burn them, that's not.
That's not fine. That's bad.
But that means. Don't.
That's English cults to me. Yeah.
And this is a bit of an American cult.
You think so?
Yeah, It's a bit of a Western cult to me.
Hmm. Well, where do you think England is?
Well,

(25:03):
I know what you mean.
Yeah, it's.
Got more of an American flavor to itbecause it's so lame.
Like, it's based on this.
This concept that just doesn't makea whole lot of sense.
Yeah. Killen's robes are much nicer.
Did you notice how much nicer they arethan.
They are robesthat would be made for a cardinal?

(25:23):
Yeah, they're superb.That's what they are.
And then they've embroidered their candycorn megaphone on them.
And he explains his story.
And then he does some great coldreading on Susie,
which includes Do you feel the warmthof your parents sitting here in the sun?
Yeah. Like, clearly.
What would they doif they were holding an event like this

(25:45):
and it was totally overcast? Yeah.
Do they have like a lamp that they callthe sun that they just wheel out
or pretendthe sun is out and you're looking at it?
But I am different than your religion.
I have proof. No, you don't know me.
No. You have proof that in 93
million miles,the sun's heat doesn't dissipate.

(26:05):
That's the proof that you have.
Yeah.
Kalan had this vision when he was shotin the head by a sniper during the war.
Right. And he should have died.
If a bullet goes through your headand one side and al Qaeda died,
you should have died.
But on a rare occasion, people do getthat kind of injury and not die.
There was a dude who got like a pieceof metal rebar through his head and lived.

(26:29):
Yeah, there's a whole bunch.
He was wackadoo.
There's a afterwards special. Ed hall.
Line and scientific
inquiry, which is, Oh, you had somethingreally bad happen to your head.
Can we test you now? And you lived.
Let's figure you out. You got shot.
And then afterwardshe says he got a vision.
Yeah, right.

(26:49):
And the ancients.
I don't know who the ancients are.
They're the old ones.
Oh, do they live in the sun? Yeah,I guess.
They like hot stuff.
I guess they should have chili peppers,as they're saying, man.
Or a sun.
I don't know.
Why not a sun.
In the in the original show, it.
It is the sun. That symbol is.
It's not the candy corn maggots.

(27:10):
No, but that's that'swhen he had his big revelation and
and started the church.
At this point,if this is 53, then we can assume that
it's been about ten years.
But he spent maybe a year or soin recovery.
Maybe.
And so then he started he's.
Got his cold reading really done well.
And he what Father Brown callsBranham statements.

(27:33):
He talks about vague air, vague springs.
Everybody has the. Mystery of. Parents.
She's clearly a refugee.
She's got an accent.
So and she's sentimental about her parentsbecause what they used to call her.
You feel like you're missingyour old home.
Yeah, Like, who wouldn't.
Like, that's why you asked her name.
Yeah, Zuzana.
Zuzana. Oh, Zuzana, Don't. You cry for me.

(28:00):
Father Brown has him all figured out.
So let's talk about Dominique.
Yes. She of the cello.
She's my astral partner.
Am I your astronaut Partner?
No, you're my wife.
I'm not your partner in the sun.
No, you're my wife.
They have a symbiosis of souls.
Which is so much more than wife.

(28:23):
I don't think they're actually married.
I don't think they're actually marriedeither.
And basically, it's we have a symbiosisbecause she's got lots of money.
Yeah, And I want the money.
So we we have to separate here
because Keelan is a man who was injured,has mental difficulties
because of that and has visions and startsa religion that is one throughput.

(28:48):
Yeah, and I think he's sincere about that.
I think he really does think
that he had some kind of out-of-body,enlightened experience.
At the same time,he is a greedy Blatch. Yes.
Who likes to take pictures of girls. Yes.
In the same place.
He's just capturing their essence.
So I think that was flying in. No.

(29:12):
But Dominique
had herhusband and her sons die in the war.
Yeah.
So she's clearly a vulnerable womanwith a lot of resources.
And he took advantage of that.
Yes, he clearly did.
And has since taken advantage of someother girls who have come into the cult.
And she knows, I.
Think for her,I'm not looking for your money.

(29:32):
I'm looking for your daughters.
They greet the sun every morning. Yes.
So like yoga, they. Must have an almanac.
Maybe it's like a secret.
It's going to come up.
This would really suck. In the wintertime.
It's never the wintertime in the Cotswolds.
Have you ever heard the termverbal satiation?
Sort of. Yeah.
When you, like, write the same wordover and over and over again and it stops.

(29:55):
Meaning anything to you.
That's how we greet the thing. Hits me.
The first time they say it, it's we greetthe like, Hello, son, We're greeting you.
We greet the.
But then every time they say it,after that, it loses a bit more meaning.
And then it just becomeswe greedy, be greedy or greet.
You know, it's such a.
Strange thing to say over and over. Again.

(30:15):
And this is. Even easy to say.
And clearly it's kind of a referenceto yoga and. You.
Stenness of some of these cultsand things like that.
What was that Yoga's bad.
No, no, no.
Eastern religions are bad,but they certainly take those.
They're taking inspirationfrom those things.
So if you if you were going to have a cultand part of
it was the sun,and you had to wake up in the morning

(30:36):
and say hello to the sun,what would your phrase be?
What would you have people chantingas the sun came up, Get.
The hell out of bed.
Time to get up.
Time to get up. Time to get up.
Time to get.
Up. Sarah It's time to get up.
All of your followers and say,Sarah, it's time to get out.
Yeah.
Oh, so you're going to form a cultjust to wake me up in the morning?

(30:57):
That's kind of cool, except I'mone of those people in our room.
No, no. For for the new. Listener.
I am a morning personwho leaps out of bed.
Oh, yeah.
You're like, Hey, time, get up. Yeah.
Feet on the ground. Woo!
Sarah is not. I get there? Yep.
Pretty quickly.
I've turned you into a morning.
I love being up in the morning.

(31:18):
It just takes me a few minutes toget there and you wake up and you're on.
Well, it's Sunday.
We slept in till 545.
We're not.
I get up earlier on the weekendsbecause I'm more excited to do the stuff
that I want to do versus the stuffI got to do for work, though.
I have to tell you, 230 in the afternoon,I'm a walrus on the couch.
You turn into a potato. Yeah.

(31:40):
Speaking of potatoes,Father Brown's playing with his food.
I have in my note.
Is he building the Devil's Tower? Yes.
It's very mucha close Encounters of the Third kind.
Kind of.
He's drawing in his gravy.
It's breakfast, isn't it? Yes.
Why don't you.
Have gravy and veg for breakfast?
I don't know.
But Mrs. M cooks all of.

(32:00):
Does she cook all of his meals?
She doesn't live there.
No, we know she doesn't live there.
But I'm sorry.
I'm not making somethingwith homemade gravy for one person.
That's a lot of work. Yeah.
Especially if he's going to play with it.
I, I love that.
Since as we. Get.
Suzy has gone to the cult right.
She's gone to check it out and said like,we got to we got to go get her.

(32:22):
We got to sneak in, grab her and get out.
And Father Brown says there's a wordfor that and said, goes, Brilliant.
Is this kidnaping?
And then they. Proceed. And then they say.
Well, they don't like throwover their shoulders and carry her out.
They try to persuade her to leave.
Since just I love the two of themgoing over the wall.
Yeah, I just I love that.

(32:43):
I love Father Brown sneaking around
because he knowshe has a bit of protection as a priest.
If he gets caught,
keep everybody in limbo for it'sgoing to go all That's just Father Brown.
That's just what he does.
Like if he was creeping around your house,he might feel a little bit different.
But, you know, he's creeping around there.
A Valentine caught him doing thatand he'd be like, You get out of here,
Father Brown.

(33:04):
It will be finger wagging his finger.
Yeah, Like you naughty guy.
You, you know, better.
Angry painter is angry. At him.
Yes. Poor guy.
Burned arms. Did you recognize Adam?
He seemed familiar,but I didn't know where I recognized him.
Well, you should have recognized him,because the other role
that you've seen him inhis name is Ben Star, the actor.

(33:28):
The other role you should know him foris in midsummer and The Sting of Death.
He plays Noah Moon.
Oh, that's. Right.
Who is another weird. Artsy guy.
Culty kind of thing? That's right.
That's the same actor.
He was also in that movie Eat Local.
Do you remember that?
Yes. With the vampires.
There's vampires in a small townin England.

(33:49):
Yeah. And, well, it's got MackenzieCrook in it.
It's got Annette Crosby in it.
It's got TonyCurran in it. It's got Dexter Fletcher.
And I mean everybody, it's in the movie.
It's really good if you haven't seen it.
Yeah, eat. Local. It's a fun, weird movie.
Yeah, they do. A lot. Of the vampiresare the good. Guys.
They do a lot of worldbuilding Thatdoesn't pay off in the end, but it's fun.

(34:10):
That is fun. It's brain. Candy.
It's a movie that should have a sequelbut doesn't.
Yeah.And he's he's been injured in the war.
Adam has and he ishe thinks that the is going to heal.
Him and he's frustrated with Kaylonbecause he sees Kanan stepping out
and he's in love with Dominic.
So he thinks that they should kind ofget rid of Kaylon, I think.

(34:35):
But I think he's also startingto doubt the cult's power too.
I think they convinced him to join, sayingthat the sun would heal his injuries
and he still has a limp.He's still in pain.
It's not working.
So not only does he
does he think that Kaylan is a fraudwho mistreats Dominique,
but he thinks that the whole cultis based on a fraud.
So then father makes referenceto those law things.

(34:59):
Yeah,
You know.
And then Dominique takes a bathwith Dutch angles.
So let's talk about her murder.
Yeah, because.
It's confusing to me.
Okay, So. Oh, okay.
Because I really like what happens here.
We haven't mentioned this,but this is a spoiler podcast,
so if you've never listened before,we're about to ruin it.

(35:19):
So if you haven't seen the episodego watch it,
come backor we're going to spoil it for you. Okay?
Okay. You've been warned. All right.
So in reality,she gets whacked over the head, right?
With Kaitlyn's cane? Yeah.
Which has a metal ball in the end. Ball?
That would. That would hurt.
But that doesn't kill her.
So he dumpster out a window?
Yes. Okay. It's a second story window.

(35:42):
Yeah, That's the problemI have with the murder.
I like the partthat he thinks he's killed her,
and then she wakes upand he has to think fast.
I like that part that throwing outa second floor window doesn't work.
No. And, you know,because she's so far from being dead

(36:02):
that she can scream for help and stuff,and it's up and on her feet.
Yeah.
So there's no reason to thinkthat a little bit more damage
is going to kill her.
And pushing her out the window from that
height on to pee gravel,which is kind of soft to land on.
That being said. That makes you.
Wouldn'twant any of this to happen. No, no.
But I just don't think it would kill her.

(36:23):
And I think she'd be laying on the groundgoing, Kaylon did it.
Yeah, because she would knowexactly who hit her and who pushed her.
Yeah. Yeah, he should have.
He should have done somethingthat was way, way more a sure thing.
Yeah.
You know, whacked her on the heada few more times.
Origin.Been like three or four stories up.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I don't.
I don't think falling outthat high would kill you in my area.

(36:46):
Yeah, but I don't think it would kill you.But we don't know any of that yet.
All we know is there's Dutch angles
and Dominique is screaming,and yet Kaylen is outside the door.
This is the locked room mystery.
And once you know how he does it, it'sso clear that he's doing it.
Yes, he's a very good actor.
His name is Michael Maloney.

(37:06):
Yeah, he's fantastic.
He's been in to Midsummer's.
He when he was in the lines,of course, in master class.
Both remember master class.
He was the overbearing dad.
Yes, but hehe does that double fake, right?
He's an actor pretending to be a characterwho's pretending to lie.
And yet,you know, he does. And he goes through.
And if you're.
If you're watching him closely,

(37:27):
you can tell he's faking it at the door,pretending that it's locked.
Yeah. He goes from rage to no rage.Really? Well.
Oh, yeah. But he has those eyes.
He can open his eyeslike double wide and not blink.
And they maniacal.
So he
sends Father Brown away to get the key,even though the door isn't.
Actually. Locked and pretends to be like.

(37:47):
Dominique opened the door. Open the door.
Another brown light goesto the slowest key.
Glancing
to it, it's
it's a very good locked room method.
The kids are probably believableand you see it happen.
So, you know, it could happen now.

(38:09):
And you knew she was alive?
Yeah. Yeah.
Now his office has to be a good distanceaway, but because he needs the time.
I think he has to be super fast.
They moved in really quickly.
They set up everything.
I think it was already furnished.
I would hope so.
And They just moved the trunk of stuff in.
Oh. Okay.

(38:29):
There's a thing in DominiqueDominique's room that I don't.
I don't know what it is. Yeah, it's weird.
It's at 4117.
You can see it.
You can see it in every shot of her room,but you can specifically see it
in that shot.
So if you if you want to scrub throughand find this time stamp,
it's it's almost like a canopy.
So it's like a fabricon like a wire frame at the top.

(38:51):
It looks sort of like an umbrella. Yes.
And then it's got like a curtainthat hangs down all the way around.
But it's in the corner of her room.
It's almost like a giant birdcage that's.
Covered that or it's like alike a changing tent.
Like if you in Victorian era, if you wentto the beach and you were going to
they didn't even get naked and puton their swimsuit, they already had it on.

(39:14):
They would get it.
They would cover up just to takelike their their shirt and skirt off
that was over their swimsuitbecause it was indecent
to even take those off in front of people.
And so they would havethese little changing huts.
And it almost looks like that.
Yeah, it's very weird.
But I don't know whyyou would have that in your room.
I don't understand.
So if you're listening to thisand you know anything about this or.

(39:34):
Have been to that, let.
Us know what you think it is. That is the.
And you post a picture of it.
Yeah. Okay. I'll post a picture of it.
So Suzy's going to be initiated.
Okay. Before that, I have a question.All right.
Who gets to decidewhether you get last rites or not?
Because this woman is not a Catholic.
Yeah, but I think.

(39:54):
By the way, like the.
The seal of the confession, Last rites
is like every detective novelwriter's dream.
They're like,How can we get a priest over here?
Oh, yeah.
How can he have an excuse to be rightnext to the body, checking it out,
you know, And everybody kind of steps backand leaves him to it.
My impressionis that a priest doesn't take the chance,

(40:18):
so it can't hurt you,but it might help you to do the last one.
Okay.
If you don't believeit's not going to do anything,
But if you do, it may mean thatyou don't go to hell.
Maybe. And that's a big deal.
Yeah, if.You believe in that. I. Guess, right?
Valentine shows upand explains the situation as a riddle.

(40:38):
I like Valentine's.
Day. Does a bit easier for expert.
Yes. Yes.
Well, and he clearly is taking no shitfrom these people,
you know, like he doesn't even pretendto, like, respect what they believe.
And it's just like,Yeah, yeah, charlatan. And whatever.
You know, the lady's dead.
So who did it? Right?

(40:59):
I also like the idea that Adam is paintingyet another picture of the sun.
So he's painting with oranges and reds.
And when he and Dominique tussle alittle bit because she tries to kiss them,
he gets paint on her.
So then when she's going toto bathes, she's rinsing the paint off.
Yeah. And then there's blood.
So you don't knowwhether it's paint or blood.

(41:21):
And they find the paint on herand they know
it's from him, you know, And so he getshe gets framed for it.
Did you know every time Caroline arrives,there's a sound effect?
No. Yes. What is it?
It's like. He blew. It. Why?
He comes into the roomevery single time he shows up.
It goes, Ooh.
I don't believe you.

(41:42):
Are you serious? Yeah. I'll play the set.I miss it.
I'll play the sound right here.
And every time.
Almost every time he arrives.
And so he's not Caroline anymore.
Yeah, like, Well, he thinks he's powerful.
It happens,but then it does it stop at some point.
He stops entering rooms now.

(42:03):
Yeah, that's true.
So let's talk about the initiation. Yes.
So Suzy gets to put on a curtain. Yes.
With some drawstrings in the armpits.Yeah.
How does. That work? I guess
the estate has a chapel. Yes.
Which she's happy to use.
Even though they're not Christianand they unveil a prism.

(42:27):
Yes. Which is like. Science.
So I'm just.
Thinking logistically,they have to do this in a space
where the sun is going to hit that spot.
Right now, Christian churches, especiallyolder ones, all face the same direction.
Yeah, okay.
But the sun is not always in the exactsame spot and there may not be windows

(42:50):
to let it in at the right angle,but this ritual relies on that.
Yeah.
Until I knew how big this estate was,I was like, Isn't the church broken up?
Like, because you see the ruins.
But no. No,they would have their own chapel.
There's lots of different things.
Yes, estate.
But that's in my notes.
It has. I baptize you with PRISM? Yes.
I just.

(43:10):
It's. Hmm.
It would be very difficult to time
that just rightand have just the right space to do it in.
But it has that quality of showmanship,that good faith culture.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
But logistically it's really difficult.
Yeah.
I mean, if they're 5 minutes late,the sun may be out of line and not hit it.

(43:31):
And then, thensomebody would have to be like, Here's a.
Flashlight inside it, in the bits.
And in my notes I have Suzy.
She'd say, one, she's baptizedthat this is the end of Act two. But
to puta point on it, it's the end of Act two.
So then we go to Valentine'sRoom office again.

(43:52):
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
Where they look at Kaitlyn's record.
I trust you not to touchanything on my desk while I step out.
Tap, tap, tap.
And this is
like I love set as Father Brown sidekick.
Yeah.
You know, like, because if there'ssomething that Father Brown
really can't do because of who he issaid, we'll do it.

(44:15):
And if there's something that saidor shouldn't do
because he would get in trouble,Father Brown will do it.
And they'll show they're a great panel.Act like each others.
Look out. Yes, absolutely.
Father Brown's digging throughfiling cabinets that don't belong to them
and says on the lookout for him,you know, like they're
they're just they're such a good team.
So they find the clipping about Kalan

(44:36):
being shot in the headand his real name and everything.
And now I'm assuming Gerald is on the runa bit here
because he has a file about him.
Why would they have a file like thatand Campbell for?
Yeah, that's
that's what I was going to askis that they might have his police record
because they may have requested itfrom wherever they were

(44:56):
last in the meantime,in, what, 24 hours or something?
This place in the very.
Beginning is a little fast. Here.
But why there would be a newspaperclipping in it?
I don't know.
Yeah, it lead you to think that maybe
he's more on the runthan they're given credit for here.
But would they have. A physical file?

(45:17):
No, they wouldn't have a physical newsclipping like that.
No, at most they would have likehandwritten notes about it
that they jotted down on the phonewith somebody else.
Yeah. You'd get this informationfrom somebody else.
Like a telegram.
But that's not as funas having it in the files.
Yeah.
Father Brown can.
Look.
Yeah, So they can see him laying in bedwith the police and the doctor

(45:39):
and his stethoscope.
Yeah, And father Brown
has everything all figured out now,and he finds the pictures.
But they break the rules.They don't let us see the picture.
They don't want to see the clipping.
We don't know what he knows.
That bugs me,but they showed us the clipping.
But we don't know that part.
But we know then that he's a totalcharlatan.

(45:59):
Mm hmm.
And they show us the pictures of he'staken of the girls.
Yes. The same pose in the same bed. Yes.
Just a weird date.
I don't buy that.
Susie wouldn't be put off by that.
Yeah, I would think that Susie would beput off if.
They were photos of these girlswearing, like,
very thin robes from the cultstanding in the sun.
And you could see through the robeI might buy that as an artistic photo

(46:22):
that he also likesbecause he can see their bodies.
Yeah, but they're lying in a bedin their negligee and their slip.
Yeah, that's. I mean.
I don't like the scenewhere she sees him taking pictures of.
Of Susie because it's
peeping Tom.
He doesn't need to be.
And he's taken a pictureof the back of her head.
Yeah.

(46:42):
Oh, I'm. Surethere are people who are into that.
But he on wearing a camera aroundhis neck.
Is where.
It's sort of a giveaway, you know, likehide it under your robes or something.
No, I'm just down here in the grasstaking a picture of the back of her head.
I love the back of a bench on.
So we find out that they went upstairsand were arguing.

(47:03):
And then Kaylen kills her father.
Brown lays all of this outand he is still incredulous.
He's like, Ah, you're here to arrest me.
I'm like, That's not how arresting works.
Now, do you do likeI know that your view on religion
is maybe alternative,but Father Brown has no arresting story.
Kaitlyn's big weakness here is thathe didn't do his research.

(47:27):
They should have chose a townwhere Father Brown didn't live.
Yeah, he doesn't know about him.
Yeah, and what he does.
If he had,they would have gone somewhere else.
Yeah, they would have gone to Costinor something. And we see that
that moment again where he
says, I don't care about youbeing punished, I care about your soul.
He says, It's not my job toto see to get justice for you, you know.

(47:50):
And this is what he said is great,because Ced recognizes
that this is the end of the showand recognizes this is Father Brown stage.
So he gets Susie to safety.
This is a classic battlebetween black and white.
And Susie could get hurt.
Yeah, because it's going to be a showdown.
Yep. Classic versus classic. Yes.

(48:11):
I love, love, love.
The line where Father Brown is so good.
Mark Williams is so good.
He's curls his lips upand kind of shows his teeth
and he gets a little spottywhen he gets really, really mad.
Yeah, He's like,There are no. Astral spirits.
And Kaitlyn says, saysthe man who believes in a virgin birth.
And Father Brown says, Oh,you guys got me on that one.

(48:34):
Yeah, he's like, given.
But you're still bad.
I think he says fair.
Yeah, Yeah.
But the face, yeah, he doesn't do itevery episode.
But man,
when he does in that in the first onewhen he's facing off against the Anglican
reverend at the top of the tower, you knowa few things piss him off like that.

(48:55):
But, but using God as an excuse or,or belief as an excuse
or hiding behind Godin some way, that really makes him mad.
Killen's having a bad day here.
Well, so when when Father Brown confrontshim and says what you
what your symbol is, is the stethoscope,what you saw was a bright light,

(49:18):
a result of a brain injury, orit was a light being shown into your eyes.
You didn't have a revelation.
That didn't happen.
Do you think that kaylon slashGerald knows that?
Does he know thatthis thing that he's built is based
on a misunderstandinghe had because of an injury?
Now, in the latest,
I think it's the latest season of FatherBrown Kaylon comes back.

(49:42):
Yes, they are the children of Kaylon.
I want to watch that episode again becauseI want to find out if he's repentant.
He is.
I think he pretends to be,but I'm not sure he actually is.
Yeah, but he definitely admitsthat he didn't actually get a revelation.
But in this scene, when Father Brownis confronting him, do you think he's
learning something from thinking,Oh my God, you're right.

(50:05):
I think he has an epiphany of doubt.
Wow, that's the deepest thingI've ever said.
But like, maybe it was kind of nigglingat him for a long time,
and now he's being confronted with it,and he has to accept that that's the case.
Well, if Kaylon isn't anybody, is
he is a person who gets upwhen he gets very upset.
When you point out the fallseason, his life.

(50:25):
Yeah.
So much so he kills his astral partner.
Yeah.
And they were in symbiosiswith one another.
You think that would have hurt him too?
I would think so.
So the the revelation and then the symbol.
The symbol is the stethoscope.Yeah, right.
I don't buy. That.I don't really look like that.
Yeah, it's a stylized stethoscope.

(50:45):
It's kindergarten megaphone.
So do you give them a hug here like that?
He holds. Him. Yeah.
That's the difference between Father Brownand detectives and other shows.
That's what his priesthood does,is that he does stuff like that.
Like,Let me hold you because you're a human.
Oh, and you're in pain.
Oh, my God.
No father would be like you.

(51:06):
Disgust me and walk away. Like. Arrest him
for trying to leave the Orient Express.
I have to hug you all first. Yeah.
I pity youbecause of what you've been through.
If you were.
If you had them based on what you sawwhen you first woke up

(51:26):
like Kaitlyn does,what would it be? It would.
Be the Church of the alarm. Clock.
My momprobably be like the Church of the Cat.
But yeah.
Because Lucy,our cat, really does like to show me her.
But the first. Thing I open my eyes.
It's going to get a catbut is in your face.
If you. Walk away and I'm not awake.
She says, okay, I'm the second line.

(51:47):
And she goes upand like bumps her face against mine
and then turns aroundand is threatening to sit on my head.
And I open my eyes.
So my my call would be the cultof the cat.
Parker something,
the asterisk.
And I don't want to know it, thoughwe agreed the version would be like
everybody holds a cat.
The smell, the

(52:12):
No, you have to you.
Have to list your spiritualtale over and over.
Maybe this one's
better than what mine would be.
I love how Suzanne zuzanna you.
Oh, Zuzannahere says I wanted to be alone.
And Father Brown goes, I joined you. Yeah.
I let you be alone for 30 seconds.

(52:33):
And then I followed you and sat downnext to you. Yep.
And once again, Mrs.
M, who's been a major pain in the ass,she screams at Susie, You're so stupid.
Yeah.
Then she says,How can she be here at this?
And does open day for the call.
Her chores cannot be done. Yeah, like.
She's totally so mean. She's just nasty.

(52:55):
She treat you like a second class citizen,and then she's like, Here,
I made scones like her sconesfix everything.
Yeah, Composting.
Woman's making scones all the bloody time.
Father Brown needs to be,like, £300 or something.
And then said it was awesome.
Word around the village is you stole.

(53:15):
The recipe. Recipe?
And then Susie brings it home. Yes.
Oh, yeah, I heard that too.
That she snatches and back file.
Did you see what so Mrs.
him and said go off.
Do you see what Father Brown and Susie
do while the camera backs upand we see his umbrella

(53:35):
and his hat,he breaks his scone in half and gives.
Her own shares with. Yeah, that's nice.
Yeah, that's who he is. A good person.
And that is the eye of Apollo,
which has no I, I neither does Apollo.
But I just.
Wonder the whole time,like if you make up a religion like this,
if you invent a cult, how do you decidewhat all the rituals are going to be,

(54:00):
what the outfits are going to look like,what the rules are like?
You just make them up as you go along, ordo you decide all that stuff in advance?
Like, I don't I don't know.
It seems complicated.
Most cults tend to create be startedby a small nucleus based on one dude,
usually a dude's ideas so he can spreadthose in indoctrinate that small nucleus.

(54:24):
Yeah. And then they. Kind of evolve.And they evolve.
Just want to see the the book of rulesraised right and stuff out like,
okay, you got to stare at the sunfor 5 minutes now, cross that out
as long as you can take itand cross it out.
If you can stare at the sun,then your special.
Or like, you know, everything goes throughdrafts like we eat the No.

(54:46):
We see these.
No, That make any sense. Yo, son.
No, that's not good.
We meet the. No, that doesn't.
Cap, but.
No, no, no.
And where does Apollo even come into it?
Like it's Apollo and.
Ancient,I guess. Yeah, there's a lot more.
Explain it. Like Apollo is the sun gods.

(55:07):
That's a lot better explanationin the original.
Well, and Kaylen is Greek, okay?
It means noble or. Beautiful. In Greek.
That makes sense.
So plus, it adds that great sign,that sci fi ness to it,
which is, of course,the opposite sci fi based.
A lot of the characterson stuff like that.

(55:28):
Yeah. I've got a horrible movie for you.
Okay. Okay.So if you. Want to hear it, what.
We should do after the credits first.
Oh, okay. Well, there's four people. Okay.
There's Kaylon. Yes.
Jael Dominique dead?
Yes. Sid stays on in own.
Yeah. And Adam, who goes to the hostile.

(55:49):
Goes the. Hostile.
That's it.That's all there is. Adam's there.
He doesn't need to be there.
No, he's just another personthat Father Brown gets to be kind to.
Yeah.
And I think it would be even betterif the couple was all women.
Like, that would be too obvious now.
Maybe it'd be. Too.
Yeah.
No, Adam is only there to be wronglyaccused.

(56:10):
That's. That's his whole. Job.
He's a red. Herring.
Yeah. Okay.
Now, are you.
Bad movie for a.
Normal movie?
Yeah,
this movie is terrible.
I bet Mark seen it.
And Michael Maloney, the actor who playsKaylon, is in this film.

(56:30):
Okay.
It's from 1997 97. Okay.
The inmates of an asylumare subjected to experiments
using collective consciousnessand surgically
implanted chipsin an attempt to create perfect citizens.
It is a sigh.
Okay.Is this a movie set in the future? No.
Okay. No. Who's in this. Movie?

(56:52):
I'm not going to tell you that yet.
Okay. I'll give you another hint, though.
Okay.
I'll read you this bit from an IMDB reviewthat I thought was really great.
Okay, There are martial art fights,seducing sexploitation, horror elements,
crazy zombies just walking aroundand even modern dance theater scenes.
Wow, how am I not seen this movie?
The whole senseless mixture of weirdoelements

(57:14):
cannot bring light into the darkness,but only leave the watchers
confused about this very strange filmthat nobody really needs to see.
97 if. Sure, I would have seen it.
I don't know.
Do you submit?
Do I get another hint or do I?
I'm only going to give you more hintsafter you say you don't know what it is.
Okay.
I guess if I got to tell you actors.

(57:34):
I don't know.
Patrick McGoohan is in it.
Okay, and Amanda Plummer is in it.
And if you can't place Amanda Plummerin your head
listeners, she was the screaming ladyin Pulp Fiction.
Yes, in the bank robbery.
Well, sorry, she was the screaming lady.
She's always the screaming lady.
She's also the sister.
And so I married Mass Murderer.

(57:56):
Where she screams a.
Lot and she's a crazy killer. Yeah, Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know what this movie is.
It's called hysteria. Hysteria?

Yeah, because.
Now you're going to.
Watch it.
One for me.
Yeah. Yeah. Definitely.

(58:17):
Put all the other actors in this episodeare a bit young to have made any bad
choices in movies when they were younger,though, I will say I learned that
Alex Pryce, who plays said yes, thoughhe is ten years younger than me.
Our birthdays are only a day apart.
Oh, I like him.
And he was on the showand then he was off the show.

(58:39):
And then he came back and he was askedbecause he when did theater?
Well, he went to play Draco Malfoy in theHarry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
I think it's called Broadway show.
He can sing.
Wow. And he was also Proteus.
And Penny Dreadful.
Do you remember that?
He's basically Frankenstein's monster.
Yeah. And Penny Dreadful.
In Penny Dreadful.

(58:59):
Oh, he's so good in it.
But it justit broke my heart. He's so sad.
He is very sad.
Why have I not seen hysteria? Yes.
Jesus, I need to watch this movie today.
So that,dear listeners, is the eye of Apollo.
Our next Father Brown episode, our thirdone, and this little group of episodes

(59:22):
