You have to kick me off the case.

I spoke to Father Roberto, and...
he gave us his blessing.
And I spoke to the cemetery and I enlisted the support
of their staff, and they're on board.
And I spoke to the judge,
and she signed off on the exhumation order.
But you said you needed us to sign.
I did say that, but I really didn't need your signature.
What I need from you is your blessing.
