Previously on Forgive Me

Jesus christ. John?
John?

Gene! Gene, help me!

I helped you file a
lawsuit against my parish. You
should find a new priest

You think I came forwardwith this horror from my
childhood

so I could leave the church?

John Dominic: They're going to
turn the parish against you.

For lying and pretending to be
something you're not

That's not true.

John Dominic: Doesn't have to
be true

The Bishop's office called.

You're the new Prelate.

You didn't call the
Bishop's office yet.

No, I need more time.

Maybe that's a sign you're
not ready to be a prelate.

Do you want to be
Prelate?

They've made
it clear they're not going
to let that happen so it

doesn't matter what I want.

You know I always
wanted to be a Prelate.

Whether or not I want to be
a Prelate who tries to sell the
pews

while the church is reduced to
rubble is a different question.

I understand your
reticence.

I spoke to Johnny
O'Leary.

Without the mediator?

Do we really need to
think of him as our enemy Gene?

It was your recklessness
with O'Leary that got us into
this mess.

I know.

Look if you're going to be
prelate you have to think about

the good of the whole parish
where there's a conflict with
one parishioner.

I just, I feel like he
needs to know

what's not only going to happen
to the church but why.

Are you giving him
more confidential documents?

No, just some
information.

Information from where?

Not from the confession booth.

Not everything is a I
hear in the confession booth is
a sin.

You don't learn.

In the name of the
father. The son, and the holy
spirit.

Forgive me Father for I have
sinned. It's been two months
since my last confession.

Hi Gladdy.

Father.

What do you have to
confess?

An old one, maybe.

Well, ah, it's just as
important to be forgiven for

older sins.

Old secrets seem
to cause the most pain.

It's not a secret.

No, no, I didn't mean to
presume.

I passed the liquor
store on my way to work this
morning,

and well, that lead me here.

They're selling pot now, the
government is selling pot.

I heard that.

That's a big change.

Oh yeah.

What does the church
have to say about that?

This church
specifically?

Nothing.

The pope warned
against legalizing it a few

years ago kinda generally.

It's still sin. Now
that it ain't a crime?

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean,
most sins aren't crimes.

My son sold drugs,

marijuana specifically.

And they said it was a gateway
drug that it caused lawlessness
and criminal behaviour.

The TV said it, you said it.
Your predecessor. All of them.

Well, I guess
sometimes there's a virtue
associated with following

the law. They're certainly
not unrelated.

No they're very
related, aren't they?
Isn't

this where moralitty laws come
from?

The church doesn't try
to influence local laws.

Oh really? So you
didn't try to sway people on

the abortion debate?

or on the gay
marriage debate?

Alright. Yeah.

Yeah, sometimes
church leaders do speak out
on morality issues but I

mean that's just to state the
church's position, right?

So the followers know.

So the followers can
vote a certain way.

The church
doesn't know how people are
going to vote on things, Gladdy.

So if I voted for the
same sex marriage bill, or the
pro-choice candidate

or whatever, there is no vote
that I could cast that would be
a sin?

I don't know.

I suppose there

could be, ummm.

Let's say in a civic
election for example, right,

you're not necessarily voting
for your own set of behaviours.

There were certain Bishops who

advised Catholics that voted
Democrat to confess before
they took communion.

I know. Not
exactly a church-wide
position or anything,

didn't come down from Rome.

But the marijuana thing,
the Pope said don't legalize it.

Yeah, yeah. He did.
I mean that's a... that's a
position.

Like the abortion thing.
Honestly,

the church is generally out
of step with the law.

I turned him in.

You turned who in?

My son.

I turned him in.
For selling pot.

I could see why the
change in law would unsettle
you.

And now to see the
government doing what they
punished my son for doing?

What does he think
about it?

My son?

Yeah.

Oh, he
doesn't talk to me. I mean,

why would he? He hasn't
talked to me since I turned
him in.

So it was a
decision that cost you your
relationship with your son.

Every week I
come to church.

Yes, I've seen you.

This was 13, 14 years
ago and once or twice a month
the priest

would on about the
scourge of illegal drugs

and how we were made in the

image of God so we need to
respect our bodies like we

respect God. And I listened
to you people.

I believed that what my son was
doing

selling drugs

was a threat to my community and
an abomination against God,

that he was spreading
crime and sickness.

Nobody could blame
you Gladdy for obeying the law,

Nobody is going to
blame you for doing what you
thought was right.

But they do blame me. Myson blames me. My daughter, my
sister.

They all saw em choosing the law
over my own child.

I'm not someone who has blind
faith in the law, not at all.

I know better.

But I had faith in this church, and I followed it and now I've
been made a fool.

Are you here to make
a complaint?

I came
here to confess.

Well, let's get
to it then.

I'm doing it. I'm
telling you, I turned my son
in. To the police.

Who took him to jail, then who
sent him to court and then they
put him in prison for two

and a half years

where he was beaten and
humiliated and

unspeakable things. God.

The way he was made
hard and angry.

And from where he emerged an
actual criminal and I did that
to him,

that's my sin.

I betrayed my son
and I ruined his life.

There's no way that
you could have known what
was going to happen to him.

Everybody knows what
can happen in prison. I made
a choice

and it was the wrong one.

And now to see the government
selling pot and making the
money,

and collecting the taxes, I
can't even hold on to the

last thread of rationalization
that at least it was ethical
higher ground.

I dont think you're
unethical. I don't.

And I honestly I don't even
think what you did was
technically a sin.

The church hasn't
changed its position yet.

Yet.

I can't predict the
future, Gladdy.
Sometimes

the church updates its views
and sometimes it just holds

staunch, you know,
embarrassingly so.

I did what I did
because the church and the

TV and the government said
it was too dangerous to let my
son run loose selling drugs.

And you're all hypocrites.

And I took your side and now I'm
a hypocrite.

No, no, the churches
views have been consistent,
I was just th-

Jesus turned water
into wine.

I took your side,
and I sent my son to prison,

and I know he's never going to
forgive me.

I can.

I can forgive you.

Is there anything else you
wanted to confess?

I've been smug,

judgemental and stupid.

Gladdy.

No, let me do this.

I've been willfully ignorant.

Jealous of my sister because of

her relationship with her
kids.

So much so that I shunned
her when she needed my help.

God, the father of
mercies. Through the death
and the resurrection

of your son, you have
reconcilled yourself to the
world and sent the Holy Spirit

amongst us for the forgiveness
of sins. Through the ministry of
the church,

may the Lord grant you pardon,
peace, and I absolve you of your
sins

in the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Say ten Hail Marys
and

if you really can't ask
your son,

then ask you sister for
forgiveness for not helping her
when you could have.

What happened to
your head?

What?

What happened to
your head?

I had a scar from
surgery. It acts up
sometimes.

You had brain
surgery?

Yeah. How long have
you been sitting there?

You're always
sleeping in here.

Wouldn't you?

Just-just let me
look at your head.

No, I'm fine.

Dude. I'm not
going to confess while

you're bleeding all over the
booth.

Just Come here.

Come on, come come come.

Here, just sit here for a
second.

That hurt?

No.

Ok, well,

let's just keep some
pressure on it until it
stops bleeding, ok?

I haven't seen you
around in a while.

Yeah,
I've been too embarrassed to
come around.

I dont want you to be
embarrassed.

I heard one of
the priests killed himself.

I was afraid maybe it was you.

It was my boss.

I'm really sorry.

Thanks.

Just lean back for a
second, ok?

Listen, uhhh&

Shhh. Just relax, ok?

Ok.

Hello? Sebastien?

Listen I dozed off. The church
is actually supposed to be
closed, if you

want to come down and make a
confession I can hear it,

but otherwise you're going
to have to go.

Hello?

Why won't you answer me?

Trying to scare me?

I didn't want to decidewhat to do without talking to
you first.

How does it affect
me?

If I were to take this
promotion it means things gotta
stay the same

as they are right now.
Understand?

I can't leave the parish. Can't
take you out of this school, so.

Listen, this is kind of like
our shot.

We could go somewhere else, I
could do a different job.

I'm not going to run
off anywhere with you.

If we stay here,
there's people who will try
to make it public

that I'm your father, ok?

They'll try and make it sound
bad.

Well, maybe they'll get
used to it. I did.

You wouldn't be
embarrassed if they found out
your father was a priest?

I'm not ashamed of you,
I don't share your fears.

I don't have anything to lose.
You do.

I'm not ashamed
of you. You understand me?

You are far and away the
best thing I ever had a hand in
doing.

Was it your hand that
got my mother pregnant?

Easy, don't be so smart.

Sorry.

You sure you don't
want to run off somewhere
and join a circus?

I've had enough
circuses.

Yeah, me too.

You shouldn't come
here at night. It's weird
and people will talk.

Gene? Gene, what's
going on? Are they taking
his things?

No, they're bringing
things in.

What happened to you?

What things?

The Bishops things.

The Bishop's coming
back?

Yes, he'll be visiting
for a while.

Why? He
has his own house.

We're a parish in crises.

The local Prelate killed
himself in the middle of a 5
million dollar

sexual abuse settlement.

They don't want our mess to
spread to the whole diocese.

Jesus.

Well, don't blame him.

Did you even phone them back?

No.

So, you brought this on
yourself with your decisions.

I brought it on us
both, I'm sorry.

Well it's an honour to
host his

excellency and he wants to
see you.

He's already here?

Oh yes,
he's quite the charmer.

Come in.

You wanted to see me,
your excellency?

You're home. Why didn't
you call me back?

I understood
that you wanted me to take
over for the Prelate and

take charge of the parish, I
just needed a moment to reflect.

-When I call, call back.
- When I ask for you to come, come.

I will, your
excellency.

Your brain and my body, we make a good pair.

You can
leave me to rest a bit.

Your excellency, may
I ask why you're here?

Keep your friends
close, as the saying goes.

Next time on Forgive Me

Clergy service examples,

you don't need to make a martyr
out of a suicide Priest.

I prostituted myself on Tuesday

He's just worried about
me.

Should he be?

Cause I've got other
things on my mind other than my
brain.
