[V.6.]

It's incredible.
So the woman says she's a prostitute.

The priest says, "Oh, thank God.

"I thought you said you were a Protestant."

Great to see you all.

I'll never tell you who told me that joke.
I promise.

Good to see you again.

Okay. Next time.
Bye.

I'm so sorry I'm late.
Henry.

Hi.
There you are.

Thank you. What'd I miss?

Well, dinner, for one.
The pleasure of my company.

Where were you?

You're not the only one who works weekends.

Send a bottle of champagne
over to the Donner table.

Make sure it's vintage.

How do you know Donner?

Well, I baptized his son a few years ago.

That's fortuitous.

Yes, isn't it?
I did, after all, make up the schedule.

You are some piece of work.

Learned from the best.

So how much more money
do we need for the children's hospital?

Three, 3.5.

Watch this.

We missed you at Vespers.

Hummel. What are you doing lurking out here?
It's freezing.

And mass this morning, too.

I've been a little busy lately.

Brendan covered it for you.

I'll make it up to him.

Hello.

I'm on my way.

Hey. Morning.

Thank you, dear.

Your Eminence,
Your Grace. Henry.

Daniel, this is Jeffrey Altman
from Harrington and Rosenberg.

Nice to meet you.
Pleasure.

Thought I knew everyone over there.

Jeff's a criminal lawyer.

Really?

One of our priests was arrested last night.

Tom Andrews from St. Dominic's.

FATHER What happened?

He's being charged with murder.

The victim's name is Eric Halloran.

He worked at a teen shelter where
Father Andrews counseled.

Rented a room from a woman
who ran the place,

a Lucy Gallagher.

Says she fell asleep in the tub,
woke, and saw Andrews

kneeling over Halloran's body,
covered in blood.

His head was bashed in.

What does Father Andrews say?

He says he needs a priest.

To confess?

He specifically asked for you.

Me?

Did he say why?

The press'll have a field day with this.

We need to be clear on our position.

Which is?

We pray for the vindication
of Father Andrews

and we have faith that the justice
system will reveal the truth.

So if he's found guilty,

it won't appear that our faith was misguided.

Precisely.

I'll have the public relations
office put together a statement.

Daniel, you came.

You don't remember me, do you?

From where?

At seminary.
We had Merton together.

Your thesis was inspirational.

Will you excuse us, Mr. Altman?

If I go, your conversation isn't privileged.

Please.

Look, be careful what you say.

You, too.

He wouldn't understand.

I was told you needed a priest.

Would you like to make a confession?

To murder?
Yes.

I didn't kill anybody.

Then why do you need a priest?

Because the police
are asking questions I can't answer.

Like?

What I was doing at the crime scene.

And what were you doing there?

I can't tell you either.

Why not?

Because I'm bound by the seal of confession.

Did someone confess the crime to you?

No. Something else.

Do you know who the killer is?

No, I don't.

Maybe.

Then how are you bound?

I wouldn't have gone to Eric's otherwise.

Thomas, you need to tell the police.

I can't. You should know that.

Halloran's killer is still out there.

You need to help find him
if you're telling the truth.

If?

I didn't do this.

Are you gonna help me or not?

I'll see what I can do.

Is there anything else you need?

Uh...

My...

My prayer book. It's at the rectory.

Daniel, wait.

Will you pray for me?

The seal of confession.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

"my client is innocent and
might know who did it, but he won't say."

How does that sound
with blood all over his pants?

Not won't. Can't.

It sounds like bullshit.
He took a vow.

If he breaks it, it's a mortal sin.

He's gotta be willing to risk prison,
torture, even death to defend it.

Would you?
Well, I'm not the one on trial.

You all are.

Another scandal hangs over
the Catholic Church today

with a priest arrested in last
night's slaying of Eric Halloran, 19.

Father Thomas Andrews is the pastor
at downtown St. Dominic's Church.

The police say he was with the victim
at the time of his death.

Thus far, church officials
have had no comment.

The trial date will be
determined later this week.

Do you believe him?

Well, I don't really know what to believe.

He seems stable,

he's never been in trouble before,
and there's no motive.

But he won't offer an alibi.
That's pretty convenient.

For whom?

I mean, he could spend
the rest of his life in jail.

You sure you can't get
Father Andrews to talk?

I'm not so sure I'm supposed to.

We all do things we're not supposed to.

It's not quite what I expected.

Why does Father Andrews think he's bound?

Did you not say the confessor never
spoke of the murder?

Well, whoever it was said something

that brought Father Andrews
to the crime scene.

He wouldn't have been there otherwise.

He doesn't have to tell us what was said,
just who said it.

He won't.

Pious little twit.

Does he understand the implications, to us?

I don't think he's
too concerned about that.

At least not enough to change his mind.

Well, then change it for him.

What about this?

Is there anything we can do?

I believe it's vital that we get
our side of the story out there,

even if Father Andrews won't help himself.

How do we do that?

We put him on TV.
Let him state his case.

People can make up their own minds,
and it won't look like we're hiding him.

Do it.

I'll set up an interview.

Father Hummel should
take over speaking with Father Andrews.

Why not you?

I'm scheduled to be in New York
tomorrow to meet with the banks.

We're closing the deal
on the family center...

We need you here.

Hummel can deal with New York.

I really don't feel
Hummel will be quite as effective as...

Your effectiveness

is precisely why I want you supervising this.

And why I'll hold you
responsible for its outcome.
Is that clear?

Perfectly, Your Eminence.

Hi. Can I help you?

I'm Father Daniel Clemens.

I'm looking for a Madeline Finney.
Yeah.

Hi, Madeline.

Thank you.

I have to say you look fantastic.
Thanks.

So how long have you been a Finney?

Six years.

I got rid of the husband,
but kept the name. For work, you know.

I'm sorry. No. I'm not.
He was a jerk.

So what are you doing here, anyway?

I mean, not here, here, but in the city?

Well, I live here.
Since when?

It's been a few years now.

I've been doing the news here
for 11 months now.

I know. I...

I have been meaning to call. I just...

What do you want, Danny?

I thought we could help each other.
How?

It's this priest, Father Andrews.

I'd like you to interview him.

And how does that help you?

Well, he says he's innocent.

We'd like the world to know that.

Do you think he's innocent?

You know, I've never been
to a newsroom before.

This is very exciting.

But you want me to put him on anyway.

I have some questions
we'd like you to ask him.

Then get a publicist.

That's not how I meant it.
No? How did you mean it?

Listen, this is the biggest
news story in town.

I'd like you to handle it, exclusively.

Just think about it.

It really is great to see you.

Ask him anything
that makes me advise him
not to answer,

one question about his alibi,
it's over.

You understand?

You're standing in the light.

Got it?

What happened?

I fell. Did you get my brief?

This is important. You have to focus.

So is that, Daniel.
I spoke to the Cardinal.

Now, he says you can reveal the confessor

without revealing the contents
of the confession.

There'll be no consequences.
Of course, there will.

Just not from him.
How can you not understand?

Hi. I'm Madeline Finney.
We all set?

Can I put this on you?

Okay. Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Father Andrews,
could you tell us what happened

when you arrived at Lucy Gallagher's house
on the night of January the 29th?

I knocked.

The door was ajar, so I went in.

I knew something was wrong
right away. There was...

There was blood everywhere.

Then I found the body.

And what did you do then?

I knelt down
and administered last rites.

And then you left?
Yes.

And did you call the police?

No.

Did you tell anybody?

No.
Why not?

How well did you know Eric Halloran?

He worked at the Angel Shelter.

I help out by giving
religious instruction there.

Did you know he would be
at Lucy Gallagher's house that night?

Well, yes. He lived there.
So you went to see him?

Yes.

And were you aware that
he used to be a prostitute?

Okay. That's it.
That's it. We're done.

I knew about Eric,
but that was in his past.

He was doing good work at the shelter.

He tried to keep the kids from
making the same mistakes he had made.

So why did you go to see him?

I can't answer that.

Was it because someone
told you something during confession?

Yes.

Something that prompted you
to go to Halloran's home?

I'm sorry. I can't discuss that.

Even though it means hindering
a murder investigation?

You have to understand.

That person wasn't confessing to me.

He was confessing to God through me.

That's what people do
when they come to confessions.

They talk to God in confidence.

And if they thought that that wasn't true,
even in a case like this,

then they might stop going.

I...

I won't be responsible for people
thinking they can't talk to him.

About anything.

Father Andrews,
did you kill Eric Halloran?

No.

Maddy, I'd like to have
a word with you. Excuse me.

How did you find out
Halloran was a prostitute?

I'm a reporter, Daniel. It's what we do.

Well, you made it look
like Andrews was having
a relationship with him.

Maybe he was. Maybe he molested him.

Maybe he killed him
in order to cover it up.
We don't know, Daniel.

I'm not sure
Andrews did this.

Neither am I.
But the police think
they have their guy.

So if there is even
the slightest chance
that Andrews is innocent,

maybe the church should
be trying to help him

rather than letting you
hang him out to dry.

Thanks for setting it up.
I owe you lunch.

Hello. Henry.

No. 90 basis points.
That's it.
That's our final offer.

Trust me, they'll accept it.

Where am I?
I'm at St. Dominic's,

doing penance.

I'm scheduled
to leave for New York
in a couple days.

I'll deal with that when I get back.

Yeah? I asked Hummel to take care of it.

Listen, I gotta go. Okay? Bye.

Yes?
Hi. I'm Father Daniel Clemens.

Father Andrews wanted me
to pick up his brief for him.

Well, I suppose you better come in.

Thank you.

Police have been all over the place.

Took me hours to clean up.

Father's okay, though?

As well as can be expected.

When will he be back?
The church has been
locked since he left.

No mass said. Confession either.

I don't know. We'll probably have to
bring in another pastor.

Fat chance of that.

Bills need paying.

He didn't do what they say, you know.

Couple of the fathers been
through here, well, you might
call them kind of funny.

But Father Andrews?

Thank you, Mrs. Donnelly.

Thank you.

"Dear Thomas, I can't tell you

"what your presence
at our meetings is to the group.

"Thank you for the courage
you've shown in coming here.

"Warmest regards, James."

You read my mail?

Are you gay?

What business is that of yours?

I know what Equality is.

I counsel there. James is a friend.

It's been banned
by the church. You could be
removed from your parish.

It's pretty low
on my list of problems right now.

Who else knows about this?

I haven't hidden my involvement.

Well, you should have!
Do you understand how this looks?

Halloran is a prostitute.
You've admitted you know him well.

You go to his house,
you counsel at Equality.

This gives you a motive.

Because I might be homosexual.
No.

Because you could be a pedophile.

Were you having sex with Eric Halloran?

When was the last time you prayed, Daniel?
I mean, really prayed.

You've got a lot of nerve.

God understands your doubts.
He knows your weaknesses.

But if you search with your heart,
you will find him waiting.

He wants you back, Daniel.

Do you want to go to jail, Thomas?

No.

Then tell me who the confessor was.
Then you can go free.

You can go back to practicing God's work.
You can have your life back.

You're gonna have to do
a lot more than pray for yourself.

I'm praying for you, Daniel.

Can we begin?

In the name of the Father,
Son, Holy Spirit. Amen.

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

We've just begun.
Can you shut the door behind you, please?

First reading is from the reading of Luke,
Chapter 6.27.

Jesus said, "Love your enemy..."

A little out of your way, Padre?

I'm a friend of Father Andrews.
Who?

He told me he used
to work with your group.

Well, if that were true,
it would be quite indiscreet.

Look, I really don't care
what goes on here.

I'm just here to find
a few things out, that's all.

What goes on here, Father,
is a celebration of our faith in Christ.

If you really were
Tom's friend, you would
care very much.

"Give to every man
that asketh of thee and
of him that taketh away..."

You might want to go.

Excuse me?
He's about to start the mass.

"For if ye love them which love you,
what thank ye have?

"For sinners also love those
that love them."

Father Clemens.

Listen, I'm sorry, I was rude in there.

But the church has spies everywhere.

How did you know who I am?

We know everyone at the archdiocese,
friend or foe.

Well, which am I?

You tell me.

Look, I think Father Andrews
is protecting someone from something

that was said in confession.

Could be a member of your group.

Yeah. Could be.
But Tom followed the rules.

He didn't say mass
or hear confession here.

Yeah, maybe St. Dominic's,
but that could've been anyone.

Did you...
Did you know Eric well?

Oh, yeah. Everyone around here knew Eric.

Was he a member?
What, of Equality?
Please.

If Tom has a fault,
it's that he sees the good in everyone.

No, Eric was a lost cause.

Father Andrews seemed to think
he was doing okay.

No. No. He was a punk and a liar.

He'd do anything to anyone at any time.

For instance?

Well, he was a whore.

Yeah. And he...

He loved married guys,
especially the ones with money.

He'd shake his little ass,
reel them in,

then he'd blackmail them
once he'd had his fun.

He was an evil little shit.

Sorry, forgive my saying.

Was it possible that

he and Andrews may have been
having a relationship?

What, a sexual one?

No. No. No.
Absolutely not.

Look, I told that reporter,
Tom's straight.

And as far as I know, he's celibate.

What reporter?

That woman from Channel 5.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

We had a deal. No. We didn't.

You told me the way
you wanted things to be

and expected me to play by your rules.

Because I didn't think
I could trust you.

You are one to talk.

What does that mean?
What are you talking about?

You left me, Danny,
for God.

Supposedly.

And everybody said,
"Isn't that great?
Aren't you proud?"

Well, it wasn't great
and I wasn't proud.

I was hurt and lonely.
But I couldn't complain

because you were the wonderful one.

You were the one with the calling.

I thought you understood
it was something I had to do.

I know. And I didn't
blame you for it then.

But it took me a long time to get over it.

And then you just show up
at my office, like, "Hey, Maddy."

Like none of it ever happened
and you ask me for my help.

But for what?

To protect the church and your job?

I thought you'd be out
healing lepers

or feeding the hungry
or something, but not this.

What happened to you?

I grew up.
Just like everybody else.

Exactly.

Work.

What is it?

Father Andrews is dead.

So, we're accepting that
Father Andrews committed
suicide, then, is that it?

Well, how did you get
a hold of that? He's only been
dead three hours?

Because he's General Counsel.
That's his job.

I'll schedule the press conference for 8.00.

Just read the statement.
You can refer questions to
the public relations office.

I just... I just don't think it's...

This is right.

Based on what?
Do you know something we don't?

Or have you added
telepathy to your list
of accomplishments?

Your Eminence, with all due respect,

he refuses to break
the seal of confession,

and then decides to hang himself
in a prison shower,

risking being barred from heaven.
I find that hard to believe.

This case is closed.

We'll issue the statement
and put this matter behind us

in the best interest
of the church and yourself.

Is there anything else?

Here he comes.

This is a statement from His Eminence,
Cardinal Francis Ledesma.

"It is with deep regret

"that we announce the death
of Father Thomas Andrews
while in custody.

"Father Andrews maintained
his innocence throughout this ordeal.

"The archdiocese draws
no conclusion from
the manner of his death.

"We pray for his soul
and ask the community to do likewise."

Come on, Father...
Thank you.

Does anyone know...

At this time, there'll be
no further questions.

"The archdiocese draws no conclusion"?

You know he didn't kill himself.

I've done what I was required to do.
It's over, Maddy.

How proud should I be now?

Good morning, Bishop Sorano.
Morning, Daniel.

I heard about your meeting last night.

Yeah. I was pretty late.

I'm sorry you weren't there.
I am, too.

Your Grace, I have a request.

I'd like to assume
Father Andrews' duties
at St. Dominic's.

At least until a replacement pastor
can be found.

Parish work isn't exactly
your strong suit.

And down there,
you'd be a bit out of place,
don't you think?

I promised Father Andrews
I'd look after things for him.

I feel it's the least I can do.

Finding a new pastor could take months.

Don't you have other matters to attend to?
Business matters?

I feel I can manage both.

I did give him my word.

Thank you.

Daniel.

You should be more careful about
saying no to the Cardinal.

I've cleaned his room and packed his things.

I'd have put them in the basement,

but someone's coming for them later on.

You don't have a spare room?

No, roof leaks. It's not fit.

There's confessions this evening between
6.00 and 7.00.

I'll look in on you tomorrow.

I'm Marion.

Marion?
Thomas' mother.

Come in.

I'm sorry about the mess. I...

I haven't had a chance
to straighten up yet.

Thomas loved it like this.

Made him feel closer to his people.

He wouldn't let me come down
after he was arrested.

I guess he was ashamed.

The things they said on television.

It was no better at home, believe me.

He wrote to me, though.

About you.

About me? What did he say?

He said you were a good man.

That you were looking out for him
and that he was praying for you.

Did he ever say why?

Thomas would never do anything like that.

He could've been anything, you know.

Doctor, lawyer. He was so smart.

But his whole life
was the church and his faith

and the people here.

How can they say this about him?

That he killed himself

or that boy?

His whole life...

And now I...

I can't have his funeral in a church
or bury him in consecrated ground.

How can they do this to us?

Oh, God.

In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It's been... I don't know,
like, a year since my last confession.

A year?

Well, I move around a lot.

They don't hear confession
in those places?

Look, the shelter says
we gotta go to confession

if we want to stay there.
So here I am, all right?

The shelter says you've got to
go to confession?

Who's making you go to confession?

Miss Gallagher.
She runs the place.

You gonna give me confession or not?

You don't have to confess
if you don't want to. It's...

Hello?

He actually left.

That's great.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

I stole a banana and ate the skin.

Hello, Henry. Good to see you.

What the hell have you got
yourself into, Danny boy?

Some kind of stew, I think.

Just like mom used to make.
Yeah.

I haven't had a chance
to stock the wine rack yet.

Daniel, it's a church.

Yeah.

If you don't mind my asking,

what exactly are you doing here?

I'm filling in for Father Andrews.
I promised him I would.

He's not here to know

and we've got real work
back at the shop.

You know, this is real work.

Bingo!

For Father Andrews, sure.

But you've got skills

and they could be put to
better use than this.

Let them close the place for a while.

Come back where you belong.
You can keep an eye
on things from there.

I don't think I can do that right now.

Tell me something.

You're not taking matters
into your own hands here,
are you?

Look, I don't believe Andrews was guilty
and I know he didn't commit suicide.

When I could help him, I didn't.

I don't know how to deal
with that just yet, so,

until I do, I'm gonna stay here
and keep my promise,

and if I happen to
stumble across something
that clears his name,

all the better. Right?

Fair enough.

All I've accomplished
and it's come to this.

Well, there are worse things
in life than cheap altar wine.

True. But how many?

Come by the house tomorrow,
have a real meal.

Oh, I...
Mary's been asking for you.

Hey, now, do you want me
to walk you to your car?

Are you gonna feel safe
out there in this neighborhood?

I grew up in worse neighborhoods
than this, sonny.

They should be worried about me.
That's what I thought.

But you should watch your back.

If Father Andrews didn't kill Halloran,
somebody else did.

In today's gospel,
we heard the words of Jesus.

"I am the good shepherd.

"The good shepherd
lays down his life for his sheep."

I'm not much of a shepherd.

To be honest, I...

I haven't really tried.

But Father Andrews was.

He was a good man who sacrificed his life

rather than violate
the principles he believed in.

I know a lot of you have heard
or read stories about his case.

One thing I know for sure
in my heart of hearts,

Tom Andrews

did not kill Eric Halloran.

He also didn't kill himself.

If I do nothing else with the
time God has given me with you,

I'm going to find out who did.

Let us pray.

We believe in one God, the Father,

the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

Of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only son of God.

Eternally begotten of the Father.

God from God,

light from light,
true God from true God.

Excuse me.

Is there a Miss Gallagher here?

Through there.

Thank you.

Come on. Hurry it up, you two.

Miss Gallagher?

Mrs.
Sorry.

You're the new pastor.

That's right. I'm Father Daniel Clemens.

I'm filling in at St. Dominic's.

If you have a moment,
I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Let's go!

Did you know Father Andrews well?

Of course. He worked with the kids.

He heard confessions.

And Eric Halloran,
you were roommates, right?

He was my boarder.
Did you know he was a prostitute?

Are you accusing me of something?
No. No. No. No.

I'm just trying to figure out what
happened to him and Father Andrews.

I told the police everything I know.

Okay.

Have a nice day, then.

You know, there was one other thing.

One of the kids came by
confession the other night

and said that you were
forcing them to go.

They wouldn't go otherwise.

I understand, but perhaps

there's a way maybe I could help
to persuade them

rather than you having to do that.

You have kids of your own, Father?

No. Of course not.

Then where do you get off
telling me how to raise mine?

No, I wasn't.
I was just trying to offer...

I've been doing this for 20 years
while you have been up at St. James

having your lunches
and playing golf in the afternoon,

and then you come down here
in your fancy car and your gold watch

and think you can straighten things out

and what, head back uptown
in time for a martini with the boys?

This is what I do.

I know how to handle these kids
and I would appreciate it

if you would keep
your opinions to yourself.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.

I'm sorry, Henry.
I haven't had a chance
to look at that yet.

I'm a little busy.

Can I call you back?

Hello?

Come on out.

What are you doing back there?

We're just trying to get some sleep.

Why aren't you at the shelter?
I mean, you don't belong here.

We just came from the shelter.
Why'd you leave?

We just needed a place to crash, all right?

Well, I'm gonna go call Mrs. Gallagher.

No! Don't.
We're sorry. We'll just go.

Yeah. Tell Mrs. Gallagher
to kiss my ass. Shut up, Cameron.

What's so wrong with Mrs. Gallagher?

She spies on us,
she knows everything
we do before we do it,

and then she punishes us bad.

It doesn't matter. Look,
she won't even let us
back in after 10.00.

Can we just stay tonight?

I don't... Okay.
Yeah. You stay down here.

You can stay up
in the living room, all right?

We'll call Mrs. Gallagher
in the morning.

You can sleep in here.

What did he mean?

When he said Mrs. Gallagher
punishes you?

Mrs. Donnelly.

Mrs. Donnelly!

Where are the kids?
Pardon?

Cameron and Monica.
Have you seen them?

There are no kids here, Father.

Your breakfast's on the table though.

21st century.

It's Daniel.

Can we meet?

The federal investigation into civil
corruption continues today.

Mayor Martin announced that,

if found guilty of any
wrongdoing, he will resign.

I'm Madeline Finney for WPPI.

Got it?

Hey.

Hi.
What's the latest scandal?

Judicial corruption,
waste in our schools,
and elderly drivers.

What's on your mind?

You owe me lunch.

We even?
Well, not yet. I...

Actually I owe you an apology.
What for?

Well, for knowing you were
in town and not coming
to see you sooner.

For using you to do the interview
with Father Andrews

instead of just asking for your help.

And to say that you were right.

He does deserve more than to
just be written off by the church.

I heard you took over for him
at St. Dominic's.

News travels fast.
When you're a reporter.

I'm a little out of my element. I...

I stopped by the shelter
where he used to counsel.

I tried to talk to
the lady who works there,
Mrs. Gallagher.

What did she say about Halloran?
Not much.

To be honest with you,
she couldn't get me
out of there fast enough.

The kids are scared to death of her.

Isn't she the one who claims
she saw Andrews over the body?

Yeah.

Here she comes.

Talk about suspicious.

Woman goes to church for no reason at all.

Coming or not?

Mrs. Gallagher.

Did you wish to make a confession?

No.

Did you lose something then?
Yes.

Cameron and Monica,
I hear they spent the night with you.

Well, they slept on the rectory floor,
not with me.

And what did they tell you?

Not much. Just that
they were frightened,
particularly of you.

They're kids. They lie.

You really think they're better off
on your floor

than in my shelter?
I'm starting to wonder.

What is that in your hand?
It's mine.

I dropped it during confession.
You weren't in confession.

Last week. Father Andrews.

Daniel.

You're taping their confessions?

Look, I don't have to answer
to the likes of you.

Excuse me.

The tape.

This isn't over.

Not by a long shot!

Do you believe that?
Give me.

You can't listen to this.
These are her kids' confessions.

You can't listen to it.

I'm a civilian.
You're still a Catholic, aren't you?

I'm gonna go lock up.

I always wondered
what went on back here.

It all seemed so mysterious.

It still does.

Do you wanna grab a bite to eat?

I can't.

I'll just take you home.

Thank you, Father.
Thank you, Father.

You missed the show.

Or did you just come by for some
more of my fine home cooking?

Business, Dan.

There's been a complaint.

I wanted to tell you myself.

Yes.

Father, you know Mrs. Gallagher?

Yes.

Yes.

Mrs. Gallagher says
you've been harassing her.

I stopped by the shelter
to introduce myself. I...

He let two of my kids sleep over.

On the floor. They seemed terrified.

I was worried about them,
so I followed her.

There, you see? And with a woman.

Some news reporter. Maddy something.

Is this true, Daniel?

Yes.

I'm very, very sorry.

Thank you for bringing this
to our attention, Mrs. Gallagher.

Thank you, Mrs. Gallagher.

Are you completely out of your mind?

That woman has been taping confessions.
Maddy found a recorder.

She was what? Did you listen to it?

No, no...
That is not our concern.

What is our concern
is your apparent inability

to follow my simplest instructions.

Eric Halloran's case is closed.

Father Andrews' suicide is settled.

I'm sorry.
I can't accept that. I...

Have you ever been to Equality, Daniel?

Yes.

But you're aware of our position on that?

Yes, I'm aware. What is this?
What's going on?

And this woman, the reporter.

What is the nature of your relationship?

She's an old friend.

What's happening here?

What's this? It's a plane ticket.

First-class to New York.

You have a meeting with our bankers
tomorrow morning.

You don't understand. I can't go.

Who will look after St. Dominic's?

St. Dominic's will be closed,
effective immediately.

There's no one else we can send.
I'm sorry, Daniel.

A car will take you to the airport.

We'll send someone to St. Dominic's
for your things.

I'm sorry, Your Eminence,
I can't.

Daniel, I've tolerated
your behavior for a long time

because your talent for fundraising

But understand this,

I'm not asking you, I'm telling you.

Now, your car is waiting.

You can't save St. Dominic's, Danny.

So save yourself. Just get on the plane.

No.
So be it!

As of this moment,
you are removed of your faculties.

You will neither say mass
nor hear confessions.

And it will be determined in due course

whether or not you are still suited
for the priesthood.

Yes, Your Eminence.

I'll see to it.

Father Clemens,
a moment?

The Cadillac?

You don't waste any time, do you?

And your credit cards.

Just the business ones, of course.

Aren't we forgetting something?

Feel free to wear it.

You'll need to find
new living arrangements, of course.

Say, by the end of the week?

I'll be gone by the morning.

All right. Hold on.
I'm coming!

Who is it? It's Cameron.

Cameron?

Is she here?
Who?

Monica. Is she here?

Take it easy.
Monica!

She's not here. What's going on?

Where is she? Where is she?

Cameron, take it easy.
I don't know. When was the
last time you saw her?

The shelter. She was crying.
She left with Gallagher.

They haven't come back.

All right.

Cameron, I'm sure she's okay.
I'll get my stuff.

I'll help you go look for her, all right?

She's not okay. She wouldn't just leave.

Gallagher's got her.

Gallagher's got her? Why?
She thinks we ratted on her.

Cameron! Cameron!

Ratted her out for what? Cameron!

Why don't we just go to the police?

I don't know.
If we go to the police and I'm wrong,

she'll have me arrested.
I mean, she's already got me fired.

Let's just go to her place.
You talk to her, keep her busy.

I'll look around for Monica.
She'll never know I'm there.

You hope.

All right now, I'll wait here
until you get around to the front, okay?

Okay.

Mrs. Gallagher?

Mrs. Gallagher?

Do you wanna check
the basement and I'll check upstairs?

Okay.

Daniel!

God, whose property it is
ever to have mercy

and to spare,
we beseech thee on behalf of the soul,

thy servant with whom
thou hast called out of this world.

Look upon her with pity
and let her be conducted

by the holy angels
to paradise, her true country.

Grant that she who believed in thee

and hoped in thee
may not be left to suffer the pains

of the purgatorial fire,
but may be admitted to eternal joys.

Through Jesus Christ, thy son,
our Lord, who with thee...

It's okay.

Daniel!

Monica.

It's okay.

Monica, it's Father Clemens.

It's okay.

It's all right. It's okay.

It's all right.

Was it an overdose?
Looks like it.

She had tracks up and down her arms.

If you don't mind me asking,
what were you two doing here?

We were looking for Monica.
Why?

One of her friends came by the rectory

and said that Mrs. Gallagher
had taken her.

He was very concerned.

About what?

We think Gallagher may have killed Eric.

Where can I reach you, Father?

I might want to ask you
some more questions later.

Actually, I'm not really sure.

I'm kind of in between places right now.
He'll be staying with me.

Well, at least for a few days.

When do you think they'll take you back?

Well, I'm not so sure I wanna go back.

Of course, you'll go back.

I'm not so sure, Maddy.

I mean, it's not exactly
what I thought it was gonna be.

I thought I was gonna be
helping people by
spreading the word of God.

Instead I solicit money.

I don't think I wanna do that anymore.

What about St. Dominic's
and the work you've been doing there?

This Monica girl.

I mean, isn't that what you set out to do?

They won't let me.

Since when do you need
their permission to be a good priest?

Bathroom's there.
There's clean towels in the closet.

Maddy.

I'm sorry.

You said that already.

Maddy?

Maddy?

Maddy?

I'm sorry.

Father Clemens!

Mind coming for a little ride?

Do I need to have a lawyer here?

I don't know, Father.
Do you need to have a lawyer here?

No. I don't think so.

Well, let's get started then.
Do you mind?

Why did you go over
to Mrs. Gallagher's house last night?

I... I told you I was worried about Monica.

I thought she might be there
against her will.

Because she thought Mrs. Gallagher
might have killed Eric Halloran?

I don't know. I think so.

How'd you get into the house?
The back door was open.

That's what Father Andrews
said the night we questioned him.

You know a street kid named Cameron?

Yes. He... He's the one
that told me about Monica.

Did you buy any heroin off him?

Of course not.
That's ridiculous.

We found this in
your room at St. Dominic's.

What is it?
That's a half a gram of high quality smack.

Well, it's not mine.
Somebody trying to frame you?

For what?
Mrs. Gallagher's death wasn't an accident.

She got high, she nodded off, and someone
injected her again.

She got you kicked out
of St. Dominic's, didn't she?

You think I killed her?
Maybe.

Or maybe somebody's just trying
to make it look like you killed her.

You been looking
into the Father Andrews murder, right?

Murder? Police said it was a suicide.

I'm a skeptic. Humor me.

The question is who wants you
out of St. Dominic's for good?

Look, I don't have anymore time for this.

If you're going to charge me,
charge me. If not, let me go.

We're good.

Thank you for your time, Father.

We need to get to St. Dominic's.
Why? What happened?

The police think
Mrs. Gallagher was murdered.

By who?

I'm not sure, but I think
I know how to find out.

You can't do this. What? I have to.

Bless me,
Father, for I have sinned.

It's been one week since
my last confession.

There's this man...

That's enough, Daniel.

Stop the tape.

Please.

His name's Eric.

Henry, why?

It was an accident.

He threatened to tell my wife.

I don't know which would've been worse.

So I went to see him.

We fought.

He fell.

He betrayed me, Daniel, for money.

Why didn't you just come to me?
Why did you go to Father Andrews?

Because I didn't need to chat.

I needed to confess.

He wasn't like you,
Daniel. He believed.

He really, truly believed.

And then you started poking into things.

I asked you to stop.

Henry, what do you need from me?

Absolution.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

I've killed three people
since my last confession.

Run!

Daniel!

Daniel!

Daniel would've been fine
if it wasn't for you.

Police! Don't move!

Put the gun down!

They'll probably make Andrews a saint.

Put it down!
Henry!

Let us pray.

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven...

[V.6.]
