Previously on Forgive Me

Smith: I'm gonna drop it.

Priest: Dropping the lawsuit
isn't going to heal---

Johnny: This did
not happen to you.

Priest: This is weird, right?

Johnny: Weirder for you,
but yeah.

Johnny: Whatever this is for
you, I did it because I care

about you. I know you care
about me. You've proven that

over and over. I just �I just
wanted to be with you.

Priest: This is going to
destroy both of us.

Gene: How's the sermon
coming along?

Priest: It's, uh, fine, I think.

Gene: Let me know
if you want any feedback.

Your first
sermon's a big deal.

You'll remember it.
Priest: Right.

Priest: Your Grace, the

Bishop has a vested interest
in the outcome of the child

abuse settlement.

Arch Bishop: And you don't?

Priest: I guess maybe
we all do, but uh �

Arch Bishop: But if you have
some sort of influence over this accuser, use it. Formally.

Priest: What about the Bishop?

Arch Bishop: What about him?

Priest: He's going to see this
as an attack by me.

Arch Bishop: Well, you wanted to
play with the big boys. Now you are.

Johnny: Um, upon reflection,
after a lot of thought, it no longer seems the right

course of action to pursue
a civil suit against the church.

Mediator: Would you sign
off on that? It's just so the parish can be assured

that you won't instigate
a lawsuit down the road.

Priest: Counter-offer.

Three hundred thousand.

Mediator: That's-- The
plaintiff is dropping the suit.

He's asking for nothing and
you're countering with three hundred thousand?

Priest: Yeah.

Mediator: That's not how
this works.

Priest: Usually.

Mediator: Would you settle �I
don't even know how to ask this question.

Johnny: What is this?

Priest: You want to drop the
lawsuit because you don't want them to tear down the church

to pay for the settlement,
right? So, accept three hundred thousand as opposed

to a million and there's no need
to tear down the church.

Mediator: Okay, I think you
should stop now.

Priest: Listen, he's entitled
to know this, alright. It's his church too.

It doesn't belong to the Bishop,
it doesn't belong to me.

Meditator: So, you're not
accepting his demand for

nothing and you're
countering with an offer of

three hundred thousand.

Priest: Yeah.

Mediator: So again, will
you accept three hundred thousand?

Johnny: Yeah.

Mediator: Okay. I'll draw
up the papers. I'll circulate them tomorrow.

Gentlemen. That was, um -
weird.

Johnny: it shouldn't have
been you.

Priest: It had to be me.

Johnny: Well, what are you going
to do now?

Priest: I still have so many
pieces of this to put together.

Johnny: What are you going to do
about me?

The money doesn't matter anymore

as long as I can have
the other thing.

Priest: No. You got the money.

Gene: You were up early.

Priest: Yeah, I had a meeting.

Gene: What kind of meeting?

Priest: Just personal business.

Gene: And yesterday
morning? Spending nights out now?

Priest: No, I'm just fell
asleep at the church.

Gene: I called the church.

Priest: I was in the sanctuary.

Gene: Why were you there
so late?

Priest: It wasn't late when
I fell asleep.

Gene: Are you sick?

Priest: No, Gene. I'm just -

Gene: I don't know what's
going on.

Priest: I think maybe our house
guest is leaving.

Gene: Why?

What's--, what's changed?

Priest: Can you do something
for me today?

Can you just cover for me in
the booth?

I'll come by after I see
Noellle.

Gene: Yeah. Fine, I guess.

Priest: Thanks.

Priest: Hey.

Bishop: Give us a minute, will
ya? Thank you.

Priest: Leaving?

Bishop: Leaving here. Leaving
my job. Isn't that the deal you made with the Arch Bishop?

Priest: I don't get
a say in who gets to be Bishop.

Bishop: You get to keep your
church, and I get shipped off to a nursing home.

Priest: I'm sure you'll be
well taken care of there.

Bishop: [laughs] Sure, yeah.

Priest: I came here to tell you
that your secret goes with you.

Bishop: Secret? What secret?

Priest: That time that you
covered up a case of child abuse and sent the accused

out west where he
abused other kids.

So what I'm saying is that as
long as no other kids come forward, this is settled.

Your reputation can stay intact.
Nobody will look into the cover up or dig into what happened.

Bishop: Okay, I see. Which
means that you've orchestrated your own cover-up, huh?

Priest: No, I've negotiated
a settlement, which you could

have done if you weren't so
determined to bankrupt my parish.

Bishop: If we're making this
lawsuit go away, you get my

silence about your
own secrets. Right?

Priest: They don't compare. I'm
not ashamed of my daughter.

And I'm not ashamed of my
past, or the way I feel, okay?

I'm not the Prelate. I'm not
going to be bullied into suicide.

I am not afraid of you anymore.

Bishop: Is that what you think
I did? Is that why you hate me?

Priest: I don't hate you.

Bishop: I didn't know he was
gay, nor do I care.

Priest: You're lying.

Bishop: Well, you're almost
right.

Father John was afraid of being
exposed. Not by me, by you.

By the investigation you
prompted and furnished evidence for.

Priest: No,
that lawsuit wasn't about him.

Bishop: No, it was.
You're all angry about who would send a

child abuser away to another
parish and who knew about it.

Heh, he wasn't in charge
yet. It wasn't his decision.

But he covered it up,
just like you're doing now.

And that was the secret
that drove him to despair.

At the thought that you and
everybody else would find out.

Priest: We've got to bide our
time here a little longer.

Noelle: So I'm still a
secret? Everything you've

been saying for the past two
months has been bullshit?

Priest: Look, I asked you if
you wanted to get out of here and start over someplace else.

You said you wanted to
stay here, which is fine.

But the plan that I had
did not work the way that I wanted it to, okay?

I mean, is it really that big
a deal to you that people know?

Noelle: I've been
an orphan for this long.

Priest: You're not
an orphan, okay?

I am your father, it's
just not everybody's business.

Noelle: What if I tell?

Priest: Listen to me, I just
saved the church from the brink

of destruction over some decades
long scandal. Look, it's a delicate time.

Noelle: Your whole
life is a delicate time.

Priest: Yeah, that's true.
Since I found out about you, which I wouldn't trade.

Noelle: What would happen
if everyone found out you had a daughter

from before you were a
priest? A teenage mistake. What would happen?

Priest: They'd always
see me as that stupid teenager.

You understand? I would lose
my moral authority.

Noelle: You would lose the
illusion of moral authority.

Priest: Fair enough.

Noelle: What else?

Priest: Noelle, this parish
has enemies. People who will use you,

to get to me to discredit
the church. They'll spin it as a corruption.

Noelle: The only corrupt
thing about me, is that I'm your secret.

Priest: I know.

Noelle: Two weeks
ago you said

we were going public.

Priest: I know,
I'm sorry.

Noelle: I already told the
bocce team and my roommate.

By now, half the school knows,
so prepare for the worst.

Priest: Hmm. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Priest: Morning.

Gene: Morning. Quite a
bit of hubbub at the rectory this morning.

Priest: The Bishop's
all moved out.

Gene: Ah, I'll miss him.

Yeah.

Priest: [laughs] In the
name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

Forgive me, Father, for I have
sinned. It's been a week si--,

I-- it's been about two
weeks actually since my last confession.

Gene: Yes, my child.

Priest: I had sex.

Gene: Ooh, tell me more.

Priest: It isn't funny, Gene.

Gene: No.

Priest: I broke my vow.

Gene: Well, yes, that's a sin.

Priest: It's more than a
sin. I broke my entire---

Gene: No--

Priest: Yeah, I did.

Gene: Listen, I can see that
you're judging yourself pretty harshly,

but you've sat on this side of
the booth and you've heard

other people say that
they've broken vows.

Marital infidelity, an oath, perjury.

And how harshly did
you judge them?

Priest: Not very.

Gene: Then judge
yourself the same way.

Priest: It just feels
like it's so much harder to forgive myself.

Gene: It shouldn't be.
And anyway, that's why I'm here.

Priest: You don't know who
it was with.

Gene: I don't need to.

Priest: I think it
will effect the penance.

Gene: Then let the other
person confess and the penance will be doubled.

Priest: You really
don't want to know?

Gene: It's irrelevant. You
can't confess on their behalf.

Priest: I think if I was
sitting in your seat, I would want to know.

Gene: Well, when one's life
is somewhat cloistered, it's tempting to live

vicariously through the
secrets of others.

Priest: I should probably
confess to that then, too.

I'm pretty nosey
when I'm in here.

Gene: I think it's a
matter of personal style.

I've known priests who wanted
all the gory details. I'm not one of them.

Priest: Well, Father
John used to be pretty

chastising whenever I was in
here confessing to him so

I'm thinking maybe I adopted
some of his personal style.

Gene: He was like the town busy
body, that one. But he always liked to try to help people.

Priest: Do you know
why John really killed himself?

Gene: I think that will forever
be a matter of opinion.

Priest: What we
thought was wrong?

Gene: Look, did you
kill him?

Priest: No.

Gene: Then leave it out
of your confession.

Priest: I disobeyed the
Bishop. I went over his head to the Arch Bishop

and that's why he's moved out.

Gene: I whole-heartedly
forgive you for that.

Priest: And I stepped in to
end the settlement with O'Leary.

I got him to settle for
lower so the church is safe from demolition.

Gene: That's fantastic.

Priest: I'm confessing. I
used personal influence over O'Leary

to get him to accept
less than he deserved.

Gene: But you saved us.

Priest: I saved a building.

Gene: And the parish, and our
jobs, and our home.

Priest: It's not exactly true.
You're being retired, Gene.

I made a deal with the Arch
Bishop that said the church could

go on if I could find a way
to cut the costs over a five

year period to pay for the
settlement. I made that decision.

Gene: I'm the cost.

Priest: You're past
age. You'll get your benefits.

Gene: This is what you want.

Priest: The parish
needs a fresh start, Gene.

Gene: Yeah, a fresh start
from Johnny O'Leary.

Priest: Yeah, well, you're
pretty tainted with that scandal, so--

Gene: And you are
as well, you just said.

Priest: I'm sorry, but it's
time.

Gene: What happens when
you get sick?

Priest: Well,
maybe I won't.

Gene: So,

you're finally in
charge; in charge of no one. Just you and your demons.

Johnny: You know, I was
thinking. I don't necessarily need the sex.

Priest: What, with me?

Johnny: Yeah, with you.

Priest: I'm not
sure that I follow you.

Johnny: Well, you and I have
this friendship now and it'll never be the way it was before.

Priest: Yeah, you can't pretend
like this didn't happen.

Johnny: What matters to me
is getting to spend time with you.

To hear your ideas,
give you mine.

To let you be a little
pompous because you feel morally superior.

Priest:
Tell me more.

Johnny: I like that. I think
it's cute.

I wanna snuggle with
you. I wanna go for runs.

I wanna watch movies
and talk about them.

It doesn't need to be
out at a theatre, we could stream it here.

I want to go for a
drive in the country.

Maybe we'll go
to the ocean, and hike along the bluffs.

Maybe we'll bring a baguette
and a spicy cheese.

Priest: Spicy cheese?

Johnny: Or a tomato.
Whatever. I don't want to eat just a baguette.

I want to do that
stuff with you.

Priest: It all sounds
really nice.

Johnny: If that's all there
is, then that's fine. I don't need the sex.

Priest: Johnny---

Johnny: Please call me
Smith. I like that there's a name that only you can call me.

Priest: You going to
call me Father?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I like it.
It's not creepy at all.

Priest: Smith, you're
talking about taking a vow of celibacy.

So you can what; so you can be
in love with a priest?

Johnny: It's a kind of love, right?

I mean, just as long as I
can hold you like I love you sometimes.

Priest: It's too
much to ask of you.

Johnny: Look, love, it
doesn't have to be sexual.

Romantic love, it doesn't have
to be sexual. It can be sensual.

Priest: We have a
sensual romance.

Johnny: Look, I can feed
you. I'm a good cook.

We'll pick a favorite
dish from every cuisine.

I'll rub your feet. I can put
moisturizer where you could never reach.

I want to listen to music with
you. I want to listen to audio books while we fall asleep.

And once in awhile, I want to
just maybe put our foreheads together, on our chests.

So we can hear each
other's hearts beat. And just feel each other.

Priest: Sounds like paradise.
There's an awful lot of snakes near a garden of Eden.

Johnny: We'll keep our snakes
in our shorts.

Priest: You know
I'm crazy, right?

Johnny: Yeah. So am I.

If you want this and you want
to still be a priest,

you don't want to break
this vow, I'll keep it with you.
