Previously on Forgive Me.

If I tell my daughter what if she can't handle it?

You wouldn't miss the birth of a child,

nobody should miss the death of a parent.

You got a call to go do last rites.

I did?

They were hoping you could do it this morning.

Well, I've never done last rites before.

Shouldn't Father Phil do it?

Well, they asked for you.

I could ask Father Phil to go with you.

No, that's okay.

Oh, don't be nervous.

You think maybe you'd just run it with me?

You know like practice?

Sure.

Gene, lie back.

Close your eyes, put your book down.

You're dead.

The anointing of the sacrum.

Oh, come on.

This is Jimmy.

James.

Hi.

I can see who you are.

Look, my mother wasn't religious.

Your mother is religious.

Well, I've never known her to set foot inside a church

my entire life.

Didn't just show up unexpected.

Jimmy. She asked.

I get it,

but I do think that your mom's last wishes

deserve to be respected.

Where'd you meet her, anyway?

The hospital?

Why are you being such an ass?

'Cuz I knew my mother.

She ain't dead yet.

- Isn't. - Guys.

I think we all just know different sides are, okay?

That's all.

Oh, what next?

Are her five husbands gonna show up

and find out about each other?

Oh, my god.

Mom?

Mommy?

The priest is here.

Hi.

Thank you for coming.

It meant a lot to me that you asked.

It's what you asked for.

I did my best.

Thank you.

I brought the good stuff.

You need to step out.

Oh.

For your mother's confession.

Oh.

This is usually the dining room.

I didn't want you to think

that I kept my plates in my bedroom.

You called your daughter.

I took your advice.

She seems lovely.

Just fine. You know?

She does, doesn't she?

You were so worried.

I never would have called her if not for you.

I'm so grateful.

I would have missed seeing her this way.

She was so different before.

She was so different.

I'm relieved.

That's why they pay me the big bucks.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.

No frock?

This is a road show.

The frock's the home field uniform.

I doubted my daughter.

Yeah.

But you trusted her in the end,

so knocks that one off.

I never tried hard enough with her.

They boys were easy to figure out.

She was opaque to me.

Her father was never there for her.

If I had tried harder--

No.

She wouldn't have lost her way.

You did your best.

It's not a sin,

it's just mother's guilt.

Bookie?

Bookie?

Do you have anything else you wanna confess?

I stayed away from the church

for so many years.

Okay.

I guess that about covers it.

God, the father of mercy,

through the death and the resurrection of His son

has reconciled the world to himself

and set the Holy Spirit among us

for the remission of sins.

Through the ministry of the church,

may the Lord grant you pardon and peace

and I absolve you of your sins

in the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Amen.

Hey.

I believe in God,

the Father Almighty,

creator of Heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ,

His only son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the virgin Mary,

suffered under pontius pilate,

was crucified, died,

and was buried.

He descended into Hell.

The third day, he arose again from the dead.

He ascended into Heaven.

He sit'ith on the right hand of God,

the Father Almighty.

From whence he will come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

in the Holy Catholic church,

in the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body

and the life everlasting.

Amen.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed by Thy name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth

as it is in Heaven.

Yes.

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.

Amen.

This is the lamb of God

who takes away the sins of the world,

happy are those who are called to his supper.

Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,

but only say the word and I shall be healed.

The body of Christ.

Amen.

The blood of Christ.

Here. Here. Here.

Good?

May the Lord Jesus Christ

protect you and lead you to eternal life.

Through this holy unction

and through the goodness of His mercy,

may God forgive you of whatever sins

thou has committed through evil use of sight.

Through this holy unction

and through the goodness of His mercy,

may God forgive you of whatever sins

thou has committed through evil use of hearing.

Through this holy unction

and through the glory of His grace,

may the Lord forgive you of whatever sins

thou has committed through evil use of smell.

Through this holy unction

and through the glory of His grace,

may the Lord forgive you of whatever sins

thou has committed through taste or speech.

Through this holy unction

and through the glory of His grace,

may the Lord forgive you of whatever sins

thou has committed through evil use of touch.

Through this holy unction

and through the glory of His grace,

may God forgive whatever sins thou has committed

through evil use of your ability to walk.

It's okay.

It's okay, I'm here.

Hey.

Hi.

Can I confess?

Yeah.

Father, I'm Marguerite-Corrine,

Joan's daughter.

Joan?

Bookie.

Guess that's what they'll call her in Heaven.

I can help arrange the funeral.

There's a family plot up in Antigonish.

She wanted to use the funeral home up there.

I can call about the mass.

She didn't want a mass.

Look, Father.

You should be happy.

Near as I can tell, Hell froze over.

Between the two of you as well.

Something changed in her.

I guess, when you know you're gonna die--

I think that she always kept her faith.

She always knew she'd come back.

Could have fooled me.

Well, she spent most of her life alienated.

From both of us.

She talked about me, didn't she?

To you.

Everything your mother told me is confidential.

Yeah.

It's like the cone of silence in here.

She told me a little bit about you.

Well, your mother didn't really know

anything about me.

She liked you.

Oh.

Those two things go hand in hand,

to not know me is to love me.

Well, she didn't know that much about me either,

so I guess we have that in common, too.

You know, she knew the church well.

I mean, she might have known it better than I do.

I knew she was raised in it,

but she didn't tell Jimmy.

She told me.

Mother's tell daughters.

What did you wanna tell me?

I stole all her money

and her house.

What?

I had her sign it all over to me

when she was really medicated.

You stole--

You know, I don't think I understand.

Like I'm telling you, Father.

I stole everything my mother had.

I got everything.

So, I wanted to thank you.

Well, if it wasn't for you,

I wouldn't have even known she was dead.

Not for a while.

I probably would have missed the funeral

by the time they found me.

Time out here.

I think I'm a bit confused.

Can you--

I changed the will

and I had her sign it over to me

when she was in a lot of pain.

Doped up.

I didn't dope her up,

but she had to sign it some time.

Why?

Why did she have to?

Because it was out of date.

It didn't reflect the way things are now.

It wasn't fair to me.

I was just gonna make it all equal, at first.

She was leaving Jimmy the house

and Donny the equivalent amount

of money and RRSPs and stuff,

and me, she was leaving $14,000

with restrictions and caveats,

like I had to go to rehab and get a letter.

Well, that doesn't necessarily sound out of date.

I've been to rehab, Father.

I'm not going back to get a letter

because my mother was paranoid.

Your mother wasn't paranoid.

I got to thinking about it,

I got so mad.

All those years--

my brother's had 15 years with her.

Her time and her money

and her help

and I got nothing.

Silence.

She just--

She didn't want to enable you.

Oh, yeah. She told me that.

Imagine.

As if the whole point of being a parent

isn't to enable your child.

She enabled Jimmy to go to grad school.

She enable Donny to start and fail three businesses,

but she didn't want to enable me.

Mothers and daughters.

To buy drugs.

Well, I wasn't going to buy a master's degree

worth of drugs, was I?

I don't know.

I mean, what I do know

is that you feel guilty

about something that you did in anger.

So, you've come here to get me, what?

To tell you what you already know?

Go and undo it.

No.

I came here to confess.

Mommy told me how good it felt

to confess to you.

A peace, she said.

A weight lifted.

I didn't wanna undo the will.

I want peace.

Well, you're not going to find it here.

You're not going to find it anywhere

because you can't steal everything from your mother

and from your brothers

and not expect to feel wrapped with guilt about it

until you make it right.

You're not listening, Father.

Changing the will did make it right.

When I think about all the things my brothers got

that I didn't.

I was there for her when she needed me.

That's a courtesy that's never been afforded me.

No one has ever been there for me.

She gave you money.

Oh, a couple of hundred bucks here,

a grand there.

Not like my brothers.

Well, maybe if you sat down with your brothers.

Right? Explain to them that that will was made

while you were going through some problems,

that those problems are all behind you now.

Then, maybe they'd agree to an equal split.

You don't know my brothers.

How well do you know them 15 years later?

Well, Jimmy--

James, didn't want me to come home.

Didn't want me to see my own mother before she died.

Well, maybe he was afraid you'd steal everything.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, this isn't the warm fuzzy

that my mother made me think.

Still, I wanted to tell somebody.

I'm gonna have to do a lot of lying

in the next little while.

Why did you tell me?

To be forgiven.

I thought--

You don't seem very forgiving.

And, because you can't tell anyone.

Who's older?

Is it you, Jimmy,

or is it Don?

Jimmy's the oldest.

So, he's the one that was baptized.

Was he?

Yeah.

You weren't.

I didn't think any of us were.

So, you're not Catholic.

Not in any way.

If you're not Catholic,

then you don't get to receive a Catholic sacrament.

This, it's not a confession.

So, you don't get absolution.

You don't get forgiveness.

And you don't get my confidence.

So, what I want you to do

is I want you to go home,

go home and tell Jimmy what you did.

And then, you tell the executer that that will is a fraud.

You understand?

And you do it today

because things will be better for you

if they hear it from straight from you

than when they hear it from me

when I call them tomorrow.

- Now, listen, Father. - No.

I don't wanna hear another word out of your mouth.

You just get your ass out of my booth.

Fuck you, Father.

Next time on Forgive Me.

I'm sick, gram.

What's wrong with you?

No!

You are breaking the seal of the sacrament right now.
