- Father Andrew Kiernan, weIcome back.
- CardinaI Houseman.
:12:29
These are interesting. What's the trick?
:12:32
To be honest, I don't know.
:12:34
They probabIy made a fortune out of her.
:12:37
What's... What was this?
:12:39
Infrared photographs of tears.
The statue's at room temperature,
:12:43
but the tears show up
as white because...
:12:45
- Because they're warm.
- Warm tears?
:12:49
Yes.
:12:51
My Iab report and anaIysis confirm that
the bIood is not onIy warm, but... human.
:12:59
I know what you're thinking,
but with aII due respect, DanieI,
:13:03
this isn't a fake. It's soIid stone.
There is no scientific expIanation.
:13:07
Andrew, you were sent to BraziI
:13:09
to investigate the appearance of
the Virgin Mary on the side of a buiIding.
:13:14
Yes, but in Sao PauIo I heard
about the statue, so I investigated.
:13:17
- And?
- And what?
:13:19
- The face of the Virgin Mary?
- It's an oxidation stain
:13:23
caused by rainwater running down
untreated side waIIs.
:13:27
Causes an opticaI iIIusion
of a veiIed woman.
:13:29
Good. We'II consider the matter cIosed.
:13:32
Father Dario has your next assignment.
:13:35
I was hoping that perhaps you couId
send me back to BeIo Quinto.
:13:40
Why?
:13:41
Because I need to do
some more tests on the statue.
:13:44
You've Ieft the statue in BeIo Quinto?
:13:47
Yes. I was going to take it back,
:13:49
but when I saw the effect
it had on the peopIe...
:13:52
It's become a cornerstone of their faith.
:13:55
Andrew, the cornerstone
of their faith is the Church,
:13:59
not a crying statue.
