00:00:41,833 --> 00:00:45,167
I guess to tell the story
of the Good Friday murder through my eyes,
6
00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:46,958
I got to start here.
7
00:00:47,625 --> 00:00:51,667
Nine months ago, when this asshole deacon
said something way out of line,
8
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:52,958
and I did this.

Oh, shit.
12
00:01:00,750 --> 00:01:03,083
So, you're a fighter, then?
13
00:01:03,583 --> 00:01:05,625
Uh, no, Father, absolutely not.
14
00:01:05,708 --> 00:01:08,958
Well, we have a deacon who would say
otherwise if his jaw wasn't broken.
15
00:01:09,041 --> 00:01:11,750
In my previous life, yes, I was a boxer,
16
00:01:12,250 --> 00:01:14,750
and I lived on the streets.
I did some other things.
17
00:01:14,833 --> 00:01:18,708
We need fighters today,
but to fight the world,
18
00:01:19,458 --> 00:01:21,000
not ourselves.
19
00:01:21,083 --> 00:01:24,542
A priest is a shepherd.
The world is a wolf.
20
00:01:24,625 --> 00:01:25,833
No.
21
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:33,542
[sighs softly] I... I don't believe that,
Father, respectfully.
22
00:01:33,625 --> 00:01:36,417
[hesitates] You start fighting wolves,
and before you know it,
23
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:38,451
everyone you don't understand is a wolf.
24
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:42,250
I still got that fighting instinct,
and I gave into it today,
25
00:01:42,333 --> 00:01:44,750
but Christ came to heal the world,
not fight it.
26
00:01:44,833 --> 00:01:46,125
I believe that.
27
00:01:46,208 --> 00:01:49,583
It's this, not this, you know?
[inhales deeply]
28
00:01:50,833 --> 00:01:52,666
I just want to be a good priest.
29
00:01:53,625 --> 00:01:56,833
Show broken people like me
the forgiveness and love of Christ.
30
00:01:56,916 --> 00:01:59,000
The world needs that so bad.
31
00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:04,583
You give me one more shot,
and I promise I'll do that.

Your Excellency,
36
00:02:18,833 --> 00:02:20,958
you stuck your neck out for me
so many times.
37
00:02:21,041 --> 00:02:23,542
-I let you down, and whatever the...
-All right.
38
00:02:23,625 --> 00:02:24,791
Listen...
39
00:02:25,291 --> 00:02:28,167
Deacon Clark is famously a dick.
40
00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:30,708
Nobody's actually that upset
that you clocked him.
41
00:02:30,791 --> 00:02:32,292
In fact, kind of the opposite.
42
00:02:32,375 --> 00:02:35,041
-But we do need to do something about it.
-[exhales]
43
00:02:36,041 --> 00:02:39,167
We're sending you
to a small parish in Chimney Rock.
44
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:42,292
It's just one priest there now.

[wind chime tinkling]
46

Assistant pastor?
47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,167
Yeah, well, curb your enthusiasm.
48
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:48,166
What?
49
00:02:48,666 --> 00:02:53,333
[sighs] You're going
to Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude,
50
00:02:53,416 --> 00:02:56,684
led by Monsignor Jefferson Wicks.
Have you heard of Jefferson Wicks?
51
00:02:57,458 --> 00:03:00,875
Okay, look, Wicks has his supporters here.
I'm not one of them.
52
00:03:00,958 --> 00:03:02,042
Between you and me,
53
00:03:02,125 --> 00:03:05,083
I think he's a few beads shy of
a full rosary and a real son of a bitch.
54
00:03:05,166 --> 00:03:06,000
[chuckles]
55
00:03:06,083 --> 00:03:10,833
But what's undeniable is that his flock
is shrinking and even calcifying.
56
00:03:11,791 --> 00:03:15,333
It could use some of what
you said in there. You understand?
57
00:03:15,958 --> 00:03:18,208
Not at all, but yes.
58
00:03:18,291 --> 00:03:20,375
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
59
00:03:20,458 --> 00:03:23,333
-Spirit's got me. Let me at him.
-Hey. Hey, hey.
60
00:03:23,416 --> 00:03:27,041
This, not this, right? Mm?
61
00:03:31,166 --> 00:03:32,375

Jud Duplenticy from Albany.

00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,125
You here to take my church away from me?
77
00:04:37,458 --> 00:04:39,250
[chuckling] Oh. No.
78
00:04:39,833 --> 00:04:40,708
Good.
79
00:04:41,583 --> 00:04:44,000
Okay, call me Monsignor Wicks.
80
00:04:44,916 --> 00:04:46,208
I see you've met Martha.
81
00:04:47,083 --> 00:04:48,250
Martha? No.
82
00:04:48,333 --> 00:04:49,833
-Monsignor Wicks.
-Jesus!
83
00:04:49,916 --> 00:04:52,417
-I woke up early to polish the silver.
-[sighs]
84
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:53,792
It was a bit blotchy.
85
00:04:53,875 --> 00:04:55,417
That'll be fine, Martha.
86
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:57,791
Father... Jud.
87
00:04:59,083 --> 00:05:00,375
You are welcome here.
88
00:05:00,875 --> 00:05:02,417
-Thank you, Martha.
-Mm.
89
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:05,125
I was actually
just saying to Father Wicks...
90
00:05:05,208 --> 00:05:06,875
Monsignor Wicks.
91
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:09,583
Monsignor, right. Sorry. [chuckles]
92
00:05:10,083 --> 00:05:11,708
And sorry for saying "Jesus".
93
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:15,583
Hoo. [chuckles]
This is going great, I think.
94
00:05:15,666 --> 00:05:18,291
-Bishop Langstrom sent you, huh?
-Mm-hmm.
95
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:20,250
Langstrom.
96
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:22,333
-I know him well.
-[chuckles]
97
00:05:22,416 --> 00:05:24,708
He handpicked you, sent you here.
98
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:27,000
It says something to me.
99
00:05:29,583 --> 00:05:30,791
Tells me a lot.
100
00:05:31,916 --> 00:05:34,708
Well, I... I know
you're used to flying solo, but, um...
101
00:05:35,291 --> 00:05:36,916
I'm... I'm here to serve.
102
00:05:38,416 --> 00:05:39,625
Take my confession.
103
00:05:41,291 --> 00:05:43,083
[Wicks groans] All right.
104
00:05:43,791 --> 00:05:45,083
-Mm.
-[chuckles]
105
00:05:47,166 --> 00:05:49,625
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
106
00:05:49,708 --> 00:05:51,000
It's been, uh,
107
00:05:51,875 --> 00:05:54,291
six weeks since my last confession.
108
00:05:55,041 --> 00:05:57,083
[inhales deeply, sighs]
109
00:05:58,708 --> 00:06:01,250
I've envied the material wealth of others.
110
00:06:02,125 --> 00:06:06,750
I saw this luxury car commercial.
Sam had it on his TV. Lexus.
111
00:06:07,416 --> 00:06:08,625
And I thought,
112
00:06:09,125 --> 00:06:11,792
-"Ah! That is a good-looking car."
-[both chuckle]
113
00:06:11,875 --> 00:06:13,458
The coupe.
114
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:17,958
Uh... I've envied the power of great men.
115
00:06:19,375 --> 00:06:22,667
Envied my grandfather's power as a priest.
I wanted that.
116
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:24,041
Always did.
117
00:06:25,791 --> 00:06:26,791
Uh...
118
00:06:27,541 --> 00:06:28,958
I've masturbated,
119
00:06:30,166 --> 00:06:33,625
um, four times this week.
120
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:36,542
Four or five, generally, in...
What'd I say, six weeks?
121
00:06:36,625 --> 00:06:39,791
Well, let's say 30 times, masturbated.
122
00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:44,458
Uh, this week, in my bed,
in the morning once.
123
00:06:44,958 --> 00:06:48,958
Once in the shower, standing up,
which was convenient.
124
00:06:49,041 --> 00:06:51,167
Just use a bath gel.
125
00:06:51,250 --> 00:06:52,167
[inhales deeply]
126
00:06:52,250 --> 00:06:55,458
Oh, once in the middle of the night,
after a dream about...
127
00:06:55,541 --> 00:06:58,125
-That's all right.
-About one of those Japanese cat cafés.
128
00:06:58,208 --> 00:07:00,542
-Okay.
-You know, I read this article,
129
00:07:00,625 --> 00:07:05,916
but the cats were girls,
and, you know, so...
130
00:07:06,583 --> 00:07:07,917
And I hadn't prepared,
131
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,125
so I had to finish into a copy
of Catholic Chronicle magazine,
132
00:07:12,833 --> 00:07:16,916
just what was on the end table,
which is probably its own kind of sin.
133
00:07:17,416 --> 00:07:20,416
I don't know, maybe not, but...
Not good. [chuckles]
134
00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:23,750
[Jud] At the time,
I thought this was just weird.
135
00:07:23,833 --> 00:07:24,667
[imperceptible]
136
00:07:24,750 --> 00:07:26,833
But looking back now, I know.
137
00:07:26,916 --> 00:07:29,250
This was Wicks' first punch.
138
00:07:29,333 --> 00:07:31,458
Five Hail Marys and one Glory Be.
139
00:07:33,166 --> 00:07:34,458
Thank you, Father.
140
00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:41,458
[Jud] It wouldn't be his last.
141
00:07:41,541 --> 00:07:42,875
[Wicks] Oh, and welcome
142
00:07:43,666 --> 00:07:45,083
to my church.
143
00:07:45,916 --> 00:07:48,583
-[door opens, closes]
-[sighs]
144
00:07:48,666 --> 00:07:51,125
Over the next few weeks, I settled in
145
00:07:51,208 --> 00:07:53,500
at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude.
146
00:07:54,333 --> 00:07:56,666
[intriguing music plays]
147
00:07:59,166 --> 00:08:03,791
The only other full-time employee
was the groundskeeper, Samson.
148
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:05,583
Sam.
149
00:08:11,125 --> 00:08:12,750
[Sam] It's Monsignor Wicks
150
00:08:12,833 --> 00:08:17,000
who gives me the strength every day
to not go back to the bottle.
151
00:08:17,916 --> 00:08:18,958
He used to drink too.
152
00:08:19,041 --> 00:08:19,958
[music fades]
153
00:08:20,041 --> 00:08:24,083
But he said to me once,
"If I can stave off that demon, you can."
154
00:08:25,375 --> 00:08:27,291
And every day, it is a struggle.
155
00:08:28,166 --> 00:08:29,250
But I have.
156
00:08:30,541 --> 00:08:33,958
I credit him and... my sweet Martha.
157
00:08:34,041 --> 00:08:36,542
Your... your sweet Martha?
158
00:08:36,625 --> 00:08:38,333
I'd do anything for her.
159
00:08:39,708 --> 00:08:42,000
-My angel on Earth.
-[organ music playing]
160
00:08:42,083 --> 00:08:45,375
[Jud] As far as the church goes,
Martha does it all.
161
00:08:45,458 --> 00:08:48,667
She keeps the books,
manages donations, files everything.
162
00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:49,958
File that.
163
00:08:50,541 --> 00:08:52,875
She launders the vestments,
stocks the supplies,
164
00:08:52,958 --> 00:08:55,166
feeds Wicks, plays the organ.
165
00:08:58,875 --> 00:09:00,791
She knew where the bodies were buried.
166
00:09:01,583 --> 00:09:03,583
-So this is the crypt?
-[Sam] Yep.
167
00:09:03,666 --> 00:09:06,708
It's a damn shame.
Gotta put up a security camera.
168
00:09:07,208 --> 00:09:09,333
-[Jud] Is there an entrance?
-There is.
169
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:11,708
This right here,
170
00:09:12,208 --> 00:09:13,333
it's a Lazarus door.
171
00:09:14,041 --> 00:09:16,833
Takes construction equipment
to open from the outside.
172
00:09:16,916 --> 00:09:19,875
But cantilevered as such that one push
173
00:09:20,458 --> 00:09:22,875
will send it tumbling
to the ground from inside.
174
00:09:24,125 --> 00:09:25,375
Who's in there then?
175
00:09:25,458 --> 00:09:26,541
-Prentice.
-[gasps]
176
00:09:27,166 --> 00:09:30,625
Wicks' grandfather,
the founder of this church.
177
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,000
Was like a father to me.
178
00:09:33,666 --> 00:09:35,583
Makes me sick.
179
00:09:35,666 --> 00:09:40,000
These kids painting rocket ships
all over his sacred resting place.
180
00:09:46,708 --> 00:09:49,416
-[Wicks] What are you doing?
-Oh, uh...
181
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:52,042
Well, I do a little wood-working,
182
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:55,625
so thought I could borrow
some of Sam's tools, make a proper...
183
00:09:55,708 --> 00:09:56,917
No, we leave that.
184
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,958
A reminder of the shameful sin
of the harlot whore.
185
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:02,916
Take my confession.
186
00:10:04,875 --> 00:10:06,625
[Martha] Yes, the harlot whore.
187
00:10:08,125 --> 00:10:09,542
That was Wicks' mother.
188
00:10:09,625 --> 00:10:12,250
Okay, so what's the deal with that?
189
00:10:12,333 --> 00:10:14,625
She was a harlot and a whore.
190
00:10:15,458 --> 00:10:16,208
Okay.
191
00:10:16,291 --> 00:10:19,500
When Prentice entered the priesthood
and founded this church,
192
00:10:19,583 --> 00:10:21,833
he was widowed with a daughter.
193
00:10:22,958 --> 00:10:24,541
Grace was her name.
194
00:10:25,125 --> 00:10:26,667
Always a bad seed.
195
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:32,083
She loved revealing clothes
and her fancy brands.
196
00:10:32,166 --> 00:10:33,792
Fancy brands... Oof.
197
00:10:33,875 --> 00:10:34,958
-Mm.
-Yeah.
198
00:10:35,041 --> 00:10:37,875
As a teenager, she slutted around bars,
199
00:10:37,958 --> 00:10:40,167
was soon pregnant by a drifter.
200
00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:41,083
[imperceptible]
201
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:45,208
[Martha] Prentice had
a vast family fortune in the bank.
202
00:10:45,291 --> 00:10:48,333
-[intriguing music plays]
-To protect his grandson, Wicks,
203
00:10:48,416 --> 00:10:53,083
he promised that
if Grace stayed under his roof,
204
00:10:53,791 --> 00:10:56,916
the fortune would be willed to her.
205
00:10:57,916 --> 00:11:01,750
And so the whore
waited for her father to die.
206
00:11:02,666 --> 00:11:05,000
Oh, it weighed on him heavily.
207
00:11:05,083 --> 00:11:06,666
Martha, remember this.
208
00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:10,666
Wealth and the power that comes with it,
209
00:11:11,416 --> 00:11:12,666
is Eve's Apple.
210
00:11:13,916 --> 00:11:16,041
Temptation that leads to the fall.
211
00:11:17,291 --> 00:11:21,125
I must protect our loved ones
from its corrupting influence,
212
00:11:22,208 --> 00:11:23,625
at all costs.
213
00:11:24,375 --> 00:11:26,125
His day came at last.
214
00:11:26,208 --> 00:11:27,541
I was there.
215
00:11:28,625 --> 00:11:31,750
I saw Prentice take his final communion
216
00:11:31,833 --> 00:11:34,583
and die on the holy altar.
217
00:11:34,666 --> 00:11:36,166
At peace.
218
00:11:36,958 --> 00:11:40,458
The harlot whore
went straight to Prentice's attorney.
219
00:11:41,041 --> 00:11:44,125
"Give me my money," she said.
220
00:11:45,375 --> 00:11:46,833
And do you know what he said?
221
00:11:47,958 --> 00:11:52,458
"Yes, you are heir
to every single penny Prentice had."
222
00:11:53,250 --> 00:11:54,875
And in his accounts,
223
00:11:56,166 --> 00:11:59,166
not one hot dime.
224
00:11:59,875 --> 00:12:01,958
Mm, what did he do with the fortune?
225
00:12:02,041 --> 00:12:04,041
Gave it to the poor, say some.
226
00:12:04,666 --> 00:12:07,541
Threw it in the ocean, say others.
No one knows.
227
00:12:08,416 --> 00:12:09,416
It was gone.
228
00:12:10,375 --> 00:12:14,208
That holy man's final act of grace
229
00:12:15,333 --> 00:12:19,625
was to keep the corrupting evil
out of wicked hands.
230
00:12:20,666 --> 00:12:22,500
All that he left her...
231
00:12:25,541 --> 00:12:26,541
{\an8}was this.
232
00:12:27,166 --> 00:12:29,208
{\an8}"What is this?" she said.
233
00:12:30,291 --> 00:12:31,708
But I knew.
234
00:12:32,416 --> 00:12:34,250
Look not for Eve's Apple.
235
00:12:34,916 --> 00:12:38,250
Your inheritance is now Christ.

[ominous music swells]
237
00:12:44,208 --> 00:12:46,833
[Martha] That night, she had her revenge.
238

In a demonic rage,
239
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,083

-[Jud] You could feel it.

And he asked, "Who told you..."
275
00:14:50,083 --> 00:14:54,500
[Jud] So what would draw someone
to make this their spiritual home?
276
00:14:55,083 --> 00:14:58,000
The core group of regulars
all had their reasons.
277
00:14:58,083 --> 00:15:00,042
And these will be our suspects.
278
00:15:00,125 --> 00:15:01,833
So I should introduce them.

She was loyal and devoted.

[chuckles] The boys.
283
00:15:14,166 --> 00:15:18,542
And so you became a lawyer so you could
take over his family practice?
284
00:15:18,625 --> 00:15:21,845
I became a lawyer because
I wanted to do great things in the world.

-But this place is my dad's legacy.

-Thank you.
-...keep it going after he passed.
288
00:15:30,208 --> 00:15:32,625
So here I am.

Hey.

00:15:44,458 --> 00:15:45,625
Okay.

00:15:46,666 --> 00:15:48,125
It's nice having him back?

[intriguing music plays]
298
00:15:51,416 --> 00:15:54,333
[Jud] When Vera was young,
just out of law school,
299
00:15:54,416 --> 00:15:58,167
her dad came home
with ten-year-old Cy, out of the blue,
300
00:15:58,250 --> 00:16:00,583
and told Vera she was gonna raise him.
301
00:16:00,666 --> 00:16:02,166
No questions asked.
302
00:16:03,750 --> 00:16:07,416
The whole town knew he was
obviously her illegitimate brother.
303
00:16:08,083 --> 00:16:09,500
But Vera accepted it.
304
00:16:10,458 --> 00:16:11,667
She did it.
305
00:16:11,750 --> 00:16:14,333
I've given up a lot to... [inhales deeply]
306
00:16:14,416 --> 00:16:19,041
...be loyal to my dad
and to Cy and to Wicks.
307
00:16:20,375 --> 00:16:21,625
So I think that
308
00:16:21,708 --> 00:16:25,125
when my dad
is looking down on me from heaven,
309
00:16:25,208 --> 00:16:28,625
I think he is very... [inhales deeply]
310
00:16:28,708 --> 00:16:30,500
...pleased with me.
311
00:16:32,875 --> 00:16:34,291
So I guess that's nice.
312
00:16:34,958 --> 00:16:35,958
[Cy] I came this close.
313
00:16:36,041 --> 00:16:38,583
I was the GOP golden boy, the great hope.
314
00:16:38,666 --> 00:16:41,208
I've got connections and ins and outs.
315
00:16:41,291 --> 00:16:43,417
I was on the cusp,
but I just couldn't engage voters.
316
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:47,417
I didn't... [inhales] have that
cult of personality thing, I guess.
317
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,333
It's hard connecting with people
in a genuine way.
318

-I know.
-[Jud] Mm-hmm.
319
00:16:52,208 --> 00:16:54,625
I tried everything. Believe me,
I hammered the race thing.
320
00:16:54,708 --> 00:16:56,917
I hammered the gender thing,
the trans thing,
321
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,125
the border thing, the homeless thing,
322
00:16:59,208 --> 00:17:03,125

All of it I did.
Nobody, just nothing. [sighs]

I don't know why.

like, show them something they hate

and then make them afraid it's gonna
take away something they love?

00:18:25,666 --> 00:18:28,000
{\an8}The Crescent Limbo series,
Ice Pick of Time,
353
00:18:28,083 --> 00:18:29,500
{\an8}The Crystaline Juncture.
354
00:18:30,291 --> 00:18:32,708
Ten years ago,
Lee moved here from New York,
355
00:18:32,791 --> 00:18:35,792
connected with Wicks and the church,
and as he puts it...
356
00:18:35,875 --> 00:18:37,375
Unplugged my brain, you know,
357
00:18:37,458 --> 00:18:41,958
from the... [inhales] liberal hive mind
and... [exhales] come here and...
358
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:46,833
[Jud] His book sales and popular standing
have been in slow decline ever since.
359
00:18:47,958 --> 00:18:51,292
But he'd spent the last year
writing a massive book about Wicks.
360
00:18:51,375 --> 00:18:52,875
His teachings, my reflections,
361
00:18:52,958 --> 00:18:56,375
essays and recollections
of an acolyte at the feet of a prophet.
362
00:18:56,458 --> 00:18:58,625
[Jud] The Holy Man and the Troubadour.
363
00:18:58,708 --> 00:19:02,333
I found it a tough read,
but he pinned all of his hopes on it.
364
00:19:02,416 --> 00:19:05,792
This is my last chance ticket
out of Substack hell.
365
00:19:05,875 --> 00:19:08,625
I can't take it anymore.
My readers these days...
366
00:19:09,125 --> 00:19:11,458
I mean, they are survivalist freaks.
367
00:19:11,541 --> 00:19:14,167
They all look like John Goodman
in The Big Lebowski.
368
00:19:14,250 --> 00:19:15,583
[chuckles]
369
00:19:16,458 --> 00:19:18,042
[church bell tolling]
370
00:19:18,125 --> 00:19:21,291
This little shitwick, Cy.
371
00:19:22,041 --> 00:19:25,167
He's got his little influencer fangs
in the Monsignor lately.
372
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:27,917
We don't like him. We're all like,
"Wicks. Be careful,
373
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,166
you gotta shake him off.
He's bad news. Opportunistic poetaster."
374
00:19:33,166 --> 00:19:36,708
We're gonna have to protect Wicks
from these leeching millennials.
375
00:19:36,791 --> 00:19:39,583
[Jud] Simone was new to town,
and new to the church.
376
00:19:39,666 --> 00:19:43,291
-She'd been a world-class cellist.
-[playing dramatic, somber tune]
377
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:49,500
Forced to retire five years ago
for health reasons.
378
00:19:49,583 --> 00:19:52,417
Chronic pain. Some mysterious nerve thing
379
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:54,750
-that doctors cannot diagnose.
-Sorry. [panting]
380
00:19:54,833 --> 00:19:57,000
I believed they could heal me.
381
00:19:57,083 --> 00:19:58,791
[clicks tongue] Suckered.
382
00:19:59,291 --> 00:20:00,625
Dipshit moi.
383
00:20:00,708 --> 00:20:02,083
[breathes deeply]
384
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:04,417
I mean, to take someone's faith
385
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:06,208
and exploit it for money
386
00:20:08,083 --> 00:20:09,500
is the ultimate evil.
387
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:13,083
Don't you think it is?
388
00:20:13,166 --> 00:20:15,375
Yeah. Yeah, it's bad.
389
00:20:16,791 --> 00:20:18,916
But I understand wanting to believe.
390
00:20:20,958 --> 00:20:22,500
This feels different, though.
391
00:20:22,583 --> 00:20:24,250
[intriguing music plays]
392
00:20:24,333 --> 00:20:26,833
Faith in God to heal me.
393
00:20:29,041 --> 00:20:30,250
This is different.
394
00:20:33,625 --> 00:20:36,250
I feel hopeful now.
395
00:20:38,125 --> 00:20:40,416
Like a miracle could happen.
396
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:45,916
That's how Monsignor Wicks makes me feel.
397
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:52,125
-[intriguing music continues]
-[wind gusting]
398
00:20:55,041 --> 00:20:56,625
[indistinct chatter]
399
00:20:56,708 --> 00:20:59,708
-The Spirit really moved him today, huh?
-[gasps]
400
00:21:00,958 --> 00:21:02,166
Monsignor!
401
00:21:03,083 --> 00:21:04,333
Ah, my warrior.
402
00:21:04,916 --> 00:21:07,917
-[Jud] Wicks kept his core group tight.
-[laughs]
403
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,583
[Jud] And the seductive power
of his charisma was undeniable.
404
00:21:13,666 --> 00:21:14,875
But his method...
405
00:21:15,875 --> 00:21:17,833
Every week, he would pick someone out,
406
00:21:17,916 --> 00:21:20,875
a newcomer usually, and he would attack.
407
00:21:20,958 --> 00:21:24,125
The world wants us all to be okay.
408
00:21:25,958 --> 00:21:29,791
Any of your choices.
Make your choices. They're your choices.
409
00:21:30,291 --> 00:21:31,500
Don't feel bad.
410
00:21:32,208 --> 00:21:33,500
Have that affair.
411
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,125
Tell that lie.
412
00:21:35,208 --> 00:21:37,542
Have that child out of wedlock.
413
00:21:37,625 --> 00:21:40,500
Satisfy your selfish heart.
414
00:21:41,125 --> 00:21:42,458
Selfish.
415
00:21:42,541 --> 00:21:43,666
Yes.
416
00:21:44,208 --> 00:21:47,333
Depriving that child of a family.
417
00:21:48,250 --> 00:21:49,583
Of a father.
418
00:21:50,083 --> 00:21:52,208
An assault on our castle.
419
00:21:52,291 --> 00:21:54,292
The institution of manhood.
420
00:21:54,375 --> 00:21:56,833
My own mother made
that selfish choice with me.
421
00:21:56,916 --> 00:21:59,042
And I curse her selfish heart for it.
422
00:21:59,125 --> 00:22:01,542
Every day of my life.
423
00:22:01,625 --> 00:22:05,792
Putting her needs and wants
before the family God intended.
424
00:22:05,875 --> 00:22:07,166
I am enough!
425
00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:10,333
-Me!
-[tense music plays]
426
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:14,416
Selfish, harlot heart, you are not.
427
00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:16,625
Might as well beat that child.
428
00:22:16,708 --> 00:22:19,375
Yes, might as well starve that child.
429
00:22:19,458 --> 00:22:22,292
Defy the family that the Lord intended.
430
00:22:22,375 --> 00:22:26,291
And watch your child
burn beneath that burden.
431
00:22:27,208 --> 00:22:29,042
-[music subsides]
-[imperceptible]
432
00:22:29,125 --> 00:22:31,333
[Jud] This is not the true church.
433
00:22:32,291 --> 00:22:35,292
You ask even the most hardcore
of those in the pews,
434
00:22:35,375 --> 00:22:38,042
they'll say, no,
of course this is not what they believe.
435
00:22:38,125 --> 00:22:40,875
It's Wicks being Wicks,
pushing it too far.
436
00:22:40,958 --> 00:22:44,875
And what he's pushing for
every time is a walkout.
437
00:22:44,958 --> 00:22:46,292
[intriguing music plays]
438
00:22:46,375 --> 00:22:47,875
Why does he do this?
439
00:22:48,458 --> 00:22:51,458
Because when that person walks out,
everyone watches.
440
00:22:52,041 --> 00:22:54,708
And even if in the light of day
it's indefensible,
441
00:22:54,791 --> 00:22:57,958
deep down in the dark,
it scratches an itch.
442
00:22:58,041 --> 00:22:59,916
[imperceptible]
443
00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:05,666
[Jud] And by staying put in that pew,
a side is taken.
444
00:23:06,916 --> 00:23:08,542
Wicks' side.
445
00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:11,625
Testing tolerances,
tapping deep poisoned wells,
446
00:23:11,708 --> 00:23:13,708
hardening, binding with complicity.
447
00:23:13,791 --> 00:23:17,250
[man over radio] ...for a two-run homer
and that brings the Cubs...
448
00:23:17,333 --> 00:23:18,916
[grunts] Mm.
449
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,500
-[Jud] So I try to offer a counterbalance.
-[music fades]
450
00:23:22,583 --> 00:23:25,958
Okay, welcome to our first
Father Jud prayer group.
451
00:23:26,041 --> 00:23:28,583
Um, thank you all for being here.
452
00:23:29,250 --> 00:23:31,958
And this is all about breaking down walls
453
00:23:32,041 --> 00:23:34,541
between us and Christ,
454
00:23:35,250 --> 00:23:38,083
us and each other, us and the world.
455
00:23:39,333 --> 00:23:40,958
When I was 17,
456
00:23:41,458 --> 00:23:42,917
I was a boxer
457
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,583
and I... I... killed a man in the ring.
458
00:23:47,458 --> 00:23:49,375
I built up so many walls of...
459
00:23:50,041 --> 00:23:52,833
of anger, addiction, violence.
460
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:56,541
It was only when I felt safe enough to...
461
00:23:57,125 --> 00:24:00,875
to put my dukes down, open my arms,
462
00:24:00,958 --> 00:24:03,125
um, confess my deepest sin.
463
00:24:03,791 --> 00:24:06,208
That was the day
that Christ saved my life.
464
00:24:06,958 --> 00:24:09,500
It... He didn't... He didn't transform me.
465
00:24:09,583 --> 00:24:12,292
He sustains me every day.
466
00:24:12,375 --> 00:24:13,792
[clock ticking]
467
00:24:13,875 --> 00:24:15,458
That's daily bread, right?
468
00:24:16,958 --> 00:24:19,083
I think that's what the church should be.
469
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,416
That's what I want
this church to be, for me
470
00:24:23,083 --> 00:24:24,500
and for all of you.
471
00:24:29,166 --> 00:24:30,678
-[Vera chuckles softly]
-So...
472
00:24:33,625 --> 00:24:36,041
Monsignor Wicks isn't coming?
473
00:24:38,041 --> 00:24:39,666
[hesitates] No, but...
474
00:24:40,458 --> 00:24:41,375
No.
475
00:24:41,458 --> 00:24:44,542
So, I thought we could just talk
and start sharing and...
476
00:24:44,625 --> 00:24:46,250
But he knows that we're doing these?
477
00:24:46,333 --> 00:24:48,500
Sure, of course. Of course, I'll tell him.
478
00:24:48,583 --> 00:24:50,750
I just... I wanted us
to connect and, uh...
479
00:24:50,833 --> 00:24:53,042
You'll tell him?
You'll... You'll tell him?
480
00:24:53,125 --> 00:24:56,625
Contraction of the simple future tense
meaning you haven't yet
481
00:24:57,250 --> 00:24:58,458
told him?
482
00:24:59,416 --> 00:25:00,750
Why wouldn't you tell him?
483
00:25:00,833 --> 00:25:03,077
-This feels kind of weird.
-[Jud] Okay, guys.
484
00:25:03,458 --> 00:25:06,458
[chuckles] This is a prayer meeting.
It's... it's not a secret or anything.
485
00:25:06,541 --> 00:25:08,708
-Well, it's a secret prayer meeting.
-No.
486
00:25:08,791 --> 00:25:10,500
That's literally what it is.
487
00:25:10,583 --> 00:25:11,750
I just texted the Monsignor.
488
00:25:11,833 --> 00:25:14,250
Great, so... [chuckles]
it isn't a secret anymore.
489
00:25:14,333 --> 00:25:17,542
Now, if we could get back to breaking
down those walls through Christ's love...
490
00:25:17,625 --> 00:25:18,583
[cell phone chimes]
491
00:25:18,666 --> 00:25:21,083
-He says, "What the holy heck?"
-Oh.
492
00:25:21,166 --> 00:25:23,375
-Jeez.
-[Vera] I'm... I'm sorry. Father,
493
00:25:23,458 --> 00:25:27,458
I came because I thought
this was an official church function.
494
00:25:27,541 --> 00:25:29,750
Only he didn't use the word "heck".
495
00:25:29,833 --> 00:25:31,375
-[laughs]
-Okay, thank you, Martha.
496
00:25:31,458 --> 00:25:32,792
This is a church function, Vera.
497
00:25:32,875 --> 00:25:34,708
It's at a church.
It's with me. It's official.
498
00:25:34,791 --> 00:25:36,083
-Um...
-Or "holy".
499
00:25:36,166 --> 00:25:38,375
-Show... Can I see that?
-I think I should go.
500
00:25:38,458 --> 00:25:39,458
-[Nat] Okay.
-[Lee] Bye.
501
00:25:39,541 --> 00:25:41,417
-[Vera] Thank you. Uh, Cyrus?
-Yeah.
502
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:42,375
[Nat] Oh, wow.
503
00:25:42,458 --> 00:25:44,875
Yeah, sorry, Father.
I don't want to piss him off.
504
00:25:45,583 --> 00:25:47,000
Nice try, guy.
505
00:25:47,083 --> 00:25:48,042
Thanks, Doc.
506
00:25:48,125 --> 00:25:50,542
I'm probably gonna post this tomorrow.
Can I tag you?
507
00:25:50,625 --> 00:25:51,792
I'd prefer you didn't.
508
00:25:51,875 --> 00:25:52,958
I probably will anyway.
509
00:25:53,041 --> 00:25:54,166
-I know.
-[door opens]

[door closes]
511
00:25:56,625 --> 00:26:00,292
I'm so sorry your little coup failed
this afternoon, Father.
512
00:26:00,375 --> 00:26:01,958
My coup? Martha, really?
513
00:26:02,041 --> 00:26:05,458
If we want to pray
or need to confess something,
514
00:26:05,541 --> 00:26:07,917
we can do it with Monsignor Wicks.
515
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,833
Can you? 'Cause you all seem
scared to death of the guy.
516
00:26:10,916 --> 00:26:13,917
Could you walk into that church
of your own free will
517
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,208
and confess your deepest sin to Wicks,
Martha, without fear?
518
00:26:17,291 --> 00:26:20,667
'Cause... 'cause if not,
this whole place is a whitewashed tomb.
519
00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:23,167
Yes, I could.
520
00:26:23,250 --> 00:26:24,416
Well,
521
00:26:25,625 --> 00:26:27,041
good!
522
00:26:30,041 --> 00:26:32,041

[Jud] Holy Week, the week
of special services leading up to Easter.
528

{\an8}It was on Palm Sunday
that I finally broke.
529

[Wicks] And then, uh...
twice in the shower this week
530
00:27:11,333 --> 00:27:14,791
doing that thing I told you about
where I hold my hand upside down?
531

Five Our Fathers, five Hail Marys.
532
00:27:19,791 --> 00:27:22,250
Well, we're at nine months now, Jud.
533
00:27:23,791 --> 00:27:28,583
How are you enjoying it here?
Are you breaking down some... walls?
534
00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:36,125
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
It's been a week since my last confession.
535
00:27:38,916 --> 00:27:40,042
[inhales sharply]
536
00:27:40,125 --> 00:27:42,833
I betrayed a fellow priest's privacy.
537
00:27:44,041 --> 00:27:47,458
I know that Martha keeps her
medical bills filed in the office, so...
538
00:27:48,416 --> 00:27:49,625
I went through them.
539
00:27:50,666 --> 00:27:53,292
And I learned you had
a radical prostatectomy five years ago,
540
00:27:53,375 --> 00:27:56,708
making you physically incapable
of an erection.
541
00:27:59,166 --> 00:28:01,583
I can handle whatever this is.
542
00:28:02,125 --> 00:28:05,625
For the past nine months,
I've seen the way you tend this flock,
543
00:28:05,708 --> 00:28:07,042
and I don't like it.
544
00:28:07,125 --> 00:28:08,208
You don't like it?
545
00:28:08,291 --> 00:28:10,125
No, Monsignor, I don't.
546
00:28:10,208 --> 00:28:11,417
Nat Sharp.
547
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:14,708
Man needs to forgive
and start living his life.
548
00:28:14,791 --> 00:28:17,708
And Christ's love should be
a launching pad for that, and instead,
549
00:28:17,791 --> 00:28:19,500
he's just, every day,
550
00:28:19,583 --> 00:28:22,792
getting more and more angry
and bitter against his ex-wife,
551
00:28:22,875 --> 00:28:24,143
-against women.
-[grunts]
552
00:28:24,916 --> 00:28:28,167
It's bad. And Lee, he's a storyteller.
553
00:28:28,250 --> 00:28:31,750
And it's like his superpower
has been turned against him.
554
00:28:31,833 --> 00:28:34,708
The only story he tells is,
"The world is out to get me."
555
00:28:34,791 --> 00:28:38,042
He was brilliant funny,
and smart and respected,
556
00:28:38,125 --> 00:28:43,708
and now he's just spinning out
and angry all the time, paranoid.
557
00:28:43,791 --> 00:28:46,916
Did you know he literally
built a moat around his house?
558
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:48,333
Really?
559
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,333
[Jud] I mean,
it's mostly symbolic, but yeah.
560
00:28:53,125 --> 00:28:55,042
And Simone, I'm sorry, Monsignor,
561
00:28:55,125 --> 00:28:57,333
but I'm afraid
you've taken advantage of her.
562
00:28:57,416 --> 00:28:59,333
I've seen the donation numbers.
563
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,042
I know how much she's giving,
and the past few months,
564
00:29:02,125 --> 00:29:03,833
she's basically supporting this place.
565
00:29:03,916 --> 00:29:07,625
And yes, I believe in the possibility
of miracles through Christ,
566
00:29:07,708 --> 00:29:09,791
but what you're giving her is not that.
567
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,125
It's transactional, through you,
568
00:29:13,208 --> 00:29:15,647
and God help you,
it makes her feel betrayed again.
569
00:29:16,208 --> 00:29:17,792

Doesn't this new YouTube stuff
he's doing worry you?
572
00:29:23,666 --> 00:29:26,083
{\an8}Every week now, he takes clips
from what you say in Mass
573
00:29:26,166 --> 00:29:30,667
{\an8}and plugs them into his political rants.
He's co-opting, and honestly,
574
00:29:30,750 --> 00:29:33,333

in a dangerous way.

keeping them angry and afraid.

take back the ground we've lost.

And we've lost so much ground.

00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:14,875
And you're the only one
at that church who hated his guts.
695
00:37:14,958 --> 00:37:16,792
I... I don't hate any guts.
696
00:37:16,875 --> 00:37:22,166
But it's literally impossible for anyone
to have done this, so I don't...
697
00:37:23,750 --> 00:37:26,833
[sighing] Oh, I don't know what this is.
698
00:37:31,250 --> 00:37:34,167
All right. Father,
why don't you go get some rest?
699
00:37:34,250 --> 00:37:37,665
But I should warn you before
you walk out of here, the town is talking.
700
00:37:37,833 --> 00:37:40,250
Cy Draven put this up
on his YouTube this morning.
701
00:37:40,333 --> 00:37:42,458
[Jud on recording]
...poisoning this church.
702
00:37:42,541 --> 00:37:44,750
And I'll do whatever it takes to save it.
703
00:37:45,291 --> 00:37:49,125
To cut you out like a cancer.
704
00:37:50,958 --> 00:37:53,333
-[exhales]
-[Geraldine] It's been reposted.
705
00:37:54,833 --> 00:37:55,958
Quite a bit.

[music turns suspenseful]
710
00:38:31,208 --> 00:38:35,625
[Jud] I turned on my phone
for two minutes, and that was a mistake.
711
00:38:36,166 --> 00:38:39,666
A flood of messages to the killer priest.
712
00:38:41,875 --> 00:38:45,541
But I wasn't thinking about
getting arrested or defrocked.
713
00:38:46,083 --> 00:38:49,916
I was thinking Wicks had won.
714
00:38:51,125 --> 00:38:53,958
Because in the part of my soul
that cannot lie to Christ,
715
00:38:54,041 --> 00:38:56,875
or myself, or you...
716
00:38:56,958 --> 00:38:58,250

Jesus.
722
00:39:13,708 --> 00:39:16,291
Help me. [sniffles]
723
00:39:17,333 --> 00:39:19,750
Show me the way through this, please.
724
00:39:23,208 --> 00:39:24,000
[music fades]
725
00:39:24,083 --> 00:39:25,666
[man] Hello?
726
00:39:29,416 --> 00:39:31,041
Oh, I'm sorry. Um...
727
00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:33,916
Are you open?
728
00:39:35,041 --> 00:39:36,125
Always.
729
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:37,916
You all right?
730
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,500
Yeah. Uh-huh. Sorry. [sniffles]
731
00:39:42,875 --> 00:39:47,708
-Uh, there's no Easter Mass. I'm sorry.
-Oh, I'm...
732
00:39:47,791 --> 00:39:51,458
-You're welcome. Come in. Come in.
-Thank you. Thank you.
733
00:39:51,541 --> 00:39:56,041
I don't want to take you away
from your priestly duties now, do I?
734
00:39:56,833 --> 00:39:57,906
[Benoit clicks tongue]
735
00:39:58,416 --> 00:40:01,083
Well... [chuckles] Isn't this something?
736
00:40:01,166 --> 00:40:02,000
[Jud] Right?
737
00:40:02,083 --> 00:40:06,375
It's... hard to be in here
and not feel His presence.
738
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,083
Whose?
739
00:40:09,041 --> 00:40:12,000
Oh. God... Oh. Yeah. [laughs]
740
00:40:12,083 --> 00:40:13,667
-Yeah.
-You're not a Catholic.
741
00:40:13,750 --> 00:40:16,000
No, very much not, no. [chuckles]
742
00:40:16,875 --> 00:40:18,291
Proud heretic.
743
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:21,375
I kneel at the altar of the rational.
744
00:40:21,458 --> 00:40:24,500
Uh-huh. You weren't raised in the faith?
745
00:40:25,250 --> 00:40:27,875
My mother is... was, uh,
746
00:40:27,958 --> 00:40:30,875
very, very religious, you know.
747
00:40:32,583 --> 00:40:34,416
-Were you close with her?
-No.
748
00:40:35,250 --> 00:40:39,042
When I was a boy, we, um... But it's...
749
00:40:39,125 --> 00:40:41,125
-Complicated. Family.
-[chuckles] It's complicated.
750
00:40:41,208 --> 00:40:42,708
Yeah. That's right.
751
00:40:47,791 --> 00:40:49,500
How does all this make you feel?
752
00:40:52,791 --> 00:40:54,625
How does it make me feel?
753
00:40:59,208 --> 00:40:59,958
Truthfully?
754
00:41:00,041 --> 00:41:01,208
Sure.
755
00:41:03,541 --> 00:41:05,590
Well, the architecture, that interests me.
756
00:41:06,375 --> 00:41:09,500
I feel the grandeur, the... the mystery,
757
00:41:09,583 --> 00:41:13,375
the intended emotional effect.
It's... [exhales]
758
00:41:15,750 --> 00:41:20,958
And it's like someone has shone
a story at me that I do not believe.
759
00:41:21,833 --> 00:41:25,417
It's built upon the empty promise
of a child's fairy tale
760
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:30,167
filled with malevolence
and misogyny and homophobia
761
00:41:30,250 --> 00:41:34,417
and its justified
untold acts of violence and cruelty
762
00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:36,500
while all the while, and still,
763
00:41:36,583 --> 00:41:39,417
hiding its own shameful acts.
764
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:41,625
So like an ornery mule kicking back,
765
00:41:41,708 --> 00:41:44,917
I want to pick it apart
and pop its perfidious bubble of belief
766
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,291
and get to a truth
I can swallow without choking.
767
00:41:57,708 --> 00:42:02,833
[spluttering] The rafter details
are very fine, though. It's...
768
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:07,250
Listen... you want to kick me out,
you go right ahead.
769
00:42:07,333 --> 00:42:08,500
No, no.
770
00:42:09,958 --> 00:42:11,542
You're being honest, it's good.
771
00:42:11,625 --> 00:42:15,083
-Telling the truth can be a belly rub.
-[chuckles softly]
772
00:42:15,166 --> 00:42:18,917
Now, I suspect you can't always
be honest with your parishioners.
773
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,250
You can always be honest
by not saying the unhonest part.
774
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,875
Yeah. [laughs]
775
00:42:26,125 --> 00:42:28,125
You're right. It's storytelling.
776
00:42:29,416 --> 00:42:32,958
And this church, it's... it's not
medieval. We're in New York.
777
00:42:33,708 --> 00:42:35,750
It's neo-Gothic 19th century.
778
00:42:35,833 --> 00:42:38,375
It has more in common
with Disneyland than Notre-Dame...
779
00:42:38,458 --> 00:42:40,750
-[chuckles]
-...and the rites and rituals
780
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,625
and costumes, all of it.
781
00:42:44,458 --> 00:42:45,875
It's storytelling.
782
00:42:47,333 --> 00:42:48,416
You're right.
783
00:42:51,291 --> 00:42:52,916
I guess the question is
784
00:42:54,625 --> 00:42:56,750
do these stories convince us of a lie?
785
00:42:58,625 --> 00:43:02,708
Or do they resonate with something
deep inside us that's profoundly true?
786
00:43:05,458 --> 00:43:08,125
[clicks tongue] That we can't express
any other way...
787
00:43:10,416 --> 00:43:11,833
except storytelling.
788
00:43:15,125 --> 00:43:17,333
Touché. Padre.
789
00:43:19,208 --> 00:43:22,833
[laughs, sobs]
790
00:43:25,833 --> 00:43:27,250
-Son.
-I'm sorry.
791
00:43:28,416 --> 00:43:29,625
I just...
792
00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:33,291
I just felt like a priest again,
793
00:43:33,916 --> 00:43:36,041
and now I'm gonna lose that and...
794
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,458
and lose my purpose
and I'm frightened, I...
795
00:43:39,541 --> 00:43:42,042
-I don't know how I'll live.

[Geraldine] Blanc!

00:43:44,041 --> 00:43:46,583
Hey! You found him! Is he...

-[door closes]
-[chuckles]
800
00:43:55,208 --> 00:43:56,125
Who are you?
801
00:43:56,208 --> 00:43:57,833
I probably should have led with this.
802
00:43:57,916 --> 00:44:00,000
My name is Benoit Blanc. I'm a detective.
803
00:44:00,083 --> 00:44:03,583
I've taken an interest
in the murder of Jefferson Wicks.
804
00:44:04,958 --> 00:44:06,708
You're a detective,
so you're with the police?
805
00:44:06,791 --> 00:44:09,000
No, no. I work in a private capacity.
806
00:44:09,083 --> 00:44:12,250
Everyone thinks I did it. I didn't do it.
807
00:44:12,833 --> 00:44:14,792
But in my heart maybe I did,
808
00:44:14,875 --> 00:44:17,375
and the way it happened
was some kind of miracle.
809
00:44:17,458 --> 00:44:18,541
And...
810
00:44:19,041 --> 00:44:21,541
I don't know. I'm lost. I don't know.
811
00:44:22,708 --> 00:44:24,708
Would you allow me to help you?
812
00:44:27,041 --> 00:44:28,042
What?
813
00:44:28,125 --> 00:44:30,875
Your lips are cracked with dehydration.
814
00:44:30,958 --> 00:44:32,458
You haven't slept all night.
815
00:44:33,041 --> 00:44:34,333
You spent it out of doors,
816
00:44:34,416 --> 00:44:37,333
by the state of your pant legs,
on your knees in prayer.
817
00:44:38,083 --> 00:44:41,500
What I see is not a guilty man in torment,
818
00:44:42,250 --> 00:44:45,458
but an innocent man tormented by guilt.
819
00:44:47,083 --> 00:44:48,291
Let me help you.
820
00:44:48,833 --> 00:44:49,625
How?
821
00:44:49,708 --> 00:44:51,708
This was dressed as a miracle.
822
00:44:52,208 --> 00:44:55,625
It's just a murder and I solve murders.
823
00:44:56,125 --> 00:44:57,333
[inhales]
824
00:44:57,416 --> 00:44:59,666
Wait... [hesitates] Were you
825
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:03,583
the Kentucky Derby thing with the murder
and the guy that they caught
826
00:45:03,666 --> 00:45:05,167
-with the photo-finish camera?
-Yeah.
827
00:45:05,250 --> 00:45:06,416
So you're...
828
00:45:07,250 --> 00:45:08,375
You were on The View.
829
00:45:08,458 --> 00:45:10,083
-Yeah.
-What are you doing here?
830
00:45:10,166 --> 00:45:13,917
I need to come up to speed rapidly
on the events of that Good Friday service
831
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,041
and the goings-on here
at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude.
832
00:45:17,708 --> 00:45:20,500
Geraldine has graciously
allowed me access.
833
00:45:20,583 --> 00:45:24,750
If you can spare the day
and accompany me on my investigation,
834
00:45:25,375 --> 00:45:28,458
view the body, trace the murder weapon,
inspect the crime scene,
835
00:45:28,541 --> 00:45:32,125
you are in a unique position to assist me.
836
00:45:33,791 --> 00:45:35,000
The body?
837
00:45:35,583 --> 00:45:37,583
[unsettling string music plays]
838
00:45:38,250 --> 00:45:39,375
[music fades]
839
00:45:40,916 --> 00:45:43,745
Yeah, I've changed my mind.
I don't think I should be here.
840
00:45:44,708 --> 00:45:47,250
Blanc, I'm trusting your process,
but I agree with him.
841
00:45:47,333 --> 00:45:51,417
No, no, no. I want you to get a clear
clinical picture of what happened here.
842
00:45:51,500 --> 00:45:55,583
To see Wicks as he is, a corpse.
Just an empty vessel.
843
00:45:55,666 --> 00:45:59,125
Not the mythologized monster in your mind,
but merely flesh and blood.
844
00:45:59,208 --> 00:46:01,625
Dead from a knife wound we can analyze.
845
00:46:01,708 --> 00:46:04,541
Just... flesh and blood.
846
00:46:05,208 --> 00:46:06,417
Flesh and blood, yeah.
847
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:09,250
Yes, that's our wiggly wiggly. [chuckles]
848
00:46:09,833 --> 00:46:12,077
-Yeah. Look at that.
-Please stop doing that.
849
00:46:13,125 --> 00:46:15,708
-Tammy. Would you mind flipping the meat?
-[Tammy] Mm.
850
00:46:15,791 --> 00:46:17,333
-Pancake him. Yeah.
-[Benoit] Mm-hmm.
851
00:46:17,416 --> 00:46:18,636
[Geraldine clears throat]
852
00:46:21,958 --> 00:46:23,500
[Tammy, muffled] One, two, three.
853
00:46:23,583 --> 00:46:24,625
[body thuds]
854
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,458
[panting]
855
00:46:29,500 --> 00:46:32,542
-Hey! Hey.
-No, no, no. I don't belong here.
856
00:46:32,625 --> 00:46:35,000
I can't be in here,
I don't know why you brought me.
857
00:46:35,083 --> 00:46:36,208
-I can't...
-Hey!
858
00:46:37,416 --> 00:46:38,750
If you want absolution,
859
00:46:38,833 --> 00:46:42,292
you want ever to be a priest again,
then you need to go through this with me.
860
00:46:42,375 --> 00:46:46,042
The real killer is out there.
We've got to find him, nail him, I...
861
00:46:46,125 --> 00:46:46,958
I'm sorry.
862
00:46:47,041 --> 00:46:49,958
-I mean, catch him and get your life back.
-[door opens, closes]
863
00:46:50,041 --> 00:46:51,333
Father.
864
00:46:52,083 --> 00:46:54,333
I need to know

1205
01:04:05,125 --> 01:04:07,917
You have listened to this flock's stories
with empathy and grace,
1206
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,750
but we're done with that now.
1207
01:04:09,833 --> 01:04:11,458
We've wasted enough time.
1208
01:04:11,541 --> 01:04:13,958
Tomorrow we use
the gathering at the burial
1209
01:04:14,041 --> 01:04:15,667
to question them all together.
1210
01:04:15,750 --> 01:04:18,666
We must discover what happened that night.
1211
01:04:19,750 --> 01:04:23,833
And what this flock
of wicked wolves is hiding.
1212
01:04:24,875 --> 01:04:28,875
[snoring]
1213
01:04:28,958 --> 01:04:29,916
[Benoit] Mm.
1214

[sighs]
1215
01:04:40,916 --> 01:04:42,333
Betrayed.
1216
01:04:43,333 --> 01:04:44,541
Beaten.
1217
01:04:46,666 --> 01:04:47,875
Mocked.
1218
01:04:48,916 --> 01:04:50,042
Pierced.
1219
01:04:50,125 --> 01:04:52,125
[tense music plays]
1220
01:04:52,208 --> 01:04:53,292

[machine whirs]
1223
01:04:57,375 --> 01:05:00,000
And left in a hole to rot.
1224
01:05:00,916 --> 01:05:02,000
To be forgotten.
1225
01:05:03,208 --> 01:05:06,041
As with our Savior, so with the church.
1226
01:05:06,708 --> 01:05:10,125
Our church is assailed
by wicked modernity,
1227
01:05:10,208 --> 01:05:12,417
by the enemies of God.
1228
01:05:12,500 --> 01:05:14,500
The harlot whores,
1229
01:05:14,583 --> 01:05:17,917
the vermin who would oppress and silence
1230
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,417
and bar us from our rightful place
1231
01:05:20,500 --> 01:05:23,208
as the rulers
of a Christian nation of faith.
1232
01:05:23,708 --> 01:05:26,708
And even as I stand before you
as a warrior of Christ,
1233
01:05:26,791 --> 01:05:30,625
in the armor of God ready to fight
the world to my last breath,
1234
01:05:30,708 --> 01:05:33,333
you shall not pass!
1235
01:05:36,041 --> 01:05:39,125
As our Lord was, I am betrayed by Judas.
1236
01:05:39,666 --> 01:05:41,500
Gentlemen, may I have a moment?
1237
01:05:42,250 --> 01:05:44,167
[Wicks] Judas in many forms.
1238
01:05:44,250 --> 01:05:45,833
[melancholic music plays]
1239
01:05:45,916 --> 01:05:48,833
Always the true threat comes from within.
1240
01:05:50,291 --> 01:05:52,125
Remember my words.
1241
01:05:53,583 --> 01:05:56,875
On this Good Friday,
remember what's to come.
1242
01:05:56,958 --> 01:05:59,041
Remember, all of you.
1243
01:06:00,666 --> 01:06:02,958
[Martha crying] You will rise again.
1244
01:06:04,125 --> 01:06:05,541
It will be okay.
1245
01:06:06,041 --> 01:06:07,666
You will rise again.
1246
01:06:08,291 --> 01:06:09,417
You will rise.
1247
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:12,958
[Wicks] The hour approaches.
The hour I have warned you about.
1248
01:06:14,541 --> 01:06:17,458
Remember what I have promised you all,
come Easter Sunday.
1249
01:06:17,541 --> 01:06:21,375
For I will make good
on that promise, yes, I will.

[dramatic music plays]
1251
01:06:23,416 --> 01:06:25,625
[Wicks] For behold,
though He is struck down,
1252
01:06:25,708 --> 01:06:29,125
the righteous Son of God will rise again.
1253
01:06:29,666 --> 01:06:32,000
Eve's Apple restored to the tree
1254
01:06:32,083 --> 01:06:35,833
and the wealth of His kingdom
and His rising reign.
1255
01:06:36,458 --> 01:06:39,208
And as you gnash your teeth
in the darkness,
1256
01:06:39,291 --> 01:06:40,917
you unfaithful devils,
1257
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,417
as you lie cold and forgotten and alone,
1258
01:06:45,500 --> 01:06:50,000
He will rise again to reclaim what is His.
1259
01:06:50,666 --> 01:06:52,291
And strike down the wicked
1260
01:06:53,041 --> 01:06:56,000
and raise His true Son
to the throne of this nation!
1261
01:06:56,083 --> 01:06:59,292
Yes, He will rise! Yes, He will rise!
1262
01:06:59,375 --> 01:07:02,000
Yes, tremble in fear,
1263
01:07:02,083 --> 01:07:07,583
for He will rise again in glory
and vengeance and power!

[forklift beeping]
1266
01:07:17,541 --> 01:07:21,004
Sorry about your loss, Father.
Here, sign on the bottom. [clears throat]
1267
01:07:21,666 --> 01:07:22,958
Listen, between you and me,
1268
01:07:23,041 --> 01:07:26,375
I don't care what the Internet says.
I think there's a chance you didn't do it.

01:07:26,458 --> 01:07:27,375
[pats back]
1270
01:07:29,666 --> 01:07:31,792
All right, everyone. Listen up.
1271
01:07:31,875 --> 01:07:34,125
Oh, would you look who it is.
It's Judas Jud.
1272
01:07:34,208 --> 01:07:37,083
-[scoffs]
-Father, you are not welcome here.
1273
01:07:37,166 --> 01:07:38,375
All right, stop!
1274
01:07:38,458 --> 01:07:39,667
Here's what's gonna happen.
1275
01:07:39,750 --> 01:07:42,333
Benoit fricken' Blanc and I are
gonna ask you all some questions,
1276
01:07:42,416 --> 01:07:45,583
you'll answer them and we'll get to
the bottom of who killed Monsignor Wicks
1277
01:07:45,666 --> 01:07:48,000
and why and then...
1278
01:07:48,791 --> 01:07:50,125
That's it!
1279
01:07:50,208 --> 01:07:53,125
Okay? Okay, so...
1280
01:07:54,916 --> 01:07:56,958
Thank you, Father Jud, that was
1281
01:07:57,041 --> 01:07:58,208
very good. Um,
1282
01:07:58,291 --> 01:07:59,917
and we're gonna start... [sighs]
1283
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,083
...with what happened that night
right here in this very room.
1284
01:08:04,166 --> 01:08:07,208
You mean the time Jud admitted
to all of us that he killed a man.
1285
01:08:07,291 --> 01:08:10,333
Okay, no, that was...
That was the boxing thing, I was...
1286
01:08:10,416 --> 01:08:13,375
And now he's covering his ass
by attacking us. He's a PINO.
1287
01:08:13,458 --> 01:08:14,417
A... a PINO?
1288
01:08:14,500 --> 01:08:16,083
Priest in name only.
1289
01:08:16,166 --> 01:08:20,292
Helping Benoit Blanc
crack the mystery of the evil, evil church
1290
01:08:20,375 --> 01:08:23,625
and then some libtard
will make a podcast about all of this
1291
01:08:23,708 --> 01:08:27,625
and before you know it, the idiot versions
of all of us will end up on Netflix.
1292
01:08:27,708 --> 01:08:30,417
Oh, the idiot versions. God forbid.

-[shrieks]
-[Nat] Jesus!

01:08:33,291 --> 01:08:34,791
It's a miracle!
1296
01:08:36,041 --> 01:08:38,916
-I can walk, Martha. It just hurts.
-[exhaling] Oh.
1297
01:08:39,958 --> 01:08:41,875
-[sighs] Oh.
-And I say, good.

01:08:42,541 --> 01:08:43,750
Expose it all.

Wicks was a con man.

Miracles and supernatural
power of God bullshit.
1301
01:08:50,791 --> 01:08:53,000
[scoffs] I really believed.
1302
01:08:54,875 --> 01:08:56,417
I still wanna believe.

[scoffs] How sick is that?
1304
01:08:58,791 --> 01:09:02,958
Well, actually, I was inquiring
not about Jud's prayer group,
1305
01:09:03,041 --> 01:09:05,458
but about the shadowy meeting with Wicks
1306
01:09:05,541 --> 01:09:08,625
that took place in this room
on Palm Sunday.

[suspenseful sting plays]
1309
01:09:12,875 --> 01:09:16,416
[Benoit] What was
that meeting actually about?
1310
01:09:18,458 --> 01:09:20,291
Who wants to go first?
1311
01:09:21,625 --> 01:09:22,833
I'll tell you.
1312
01:09:26,041 --> 01:09:29,000
-[Nat] Cy. Hey. Wait, hold on, buddy. Hey!
-[Lee] No, no, no.
1313
01:09:29,083 --> 01:09:30,833
You shut your mouth,
you little shit weasel.
1314
01:09:30,916 --> 01:09:32,625
-It isn't your decision!
-Tell him nothing!
1315
01:09:32,708 --> 01:09:34,458
Hey, look... Whoa. Easy, Father Jud.
1316
01:09:34,541 --> 01:09:36,542
I promise you that
what we talked about that night
1317
01:09:36,625 --> 01:09:39,125
has nothing to do
with Wicks' killing, okay?
1318
01:09:39,208 --> 01:09:42,000
But it does have to do with things that,
if made public,
1319
01:09:42,083 --> 01:09:43,542
could ruin people in this room.
1320
01:09:43,625 --> 01:09:46,333
I recorded the whole thing. Just hit play.
1321
01:09:48,875 --> 01:09:50,792
-[Martha] No! This is not...
-[Lee] You scoundrel!
1322
01:09:50,875 --> 01:09:54,333
-Open this door, you bastard!
-You are defiling my files!
1323
01:09:54,416 --> 01:09:56,167
-Play it.
-[Lee] Open it...

[footsteps approaching]
1326
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,416
[Wicks] All right. Very dramatic, Vera.
1327
01:10:10,416 --> 01:10:12,514
You've got your audience.
What's this about?
1328
01:10:16,208 --> 01:10:18,416
I've been thinking about your mom.
1329
01:10:19,875 --> 01:10:24,708
I never knew her,
but growing up in this church,
1330
01:10:24,791 --> 01:10:28,000
I knew the story of the harlot whore
1331
01:10:28,083 --> 01:10:31,500
and I've been thinking about
what her life must have been like
1332
01:10:31,583 --> 01:10:35,625
to be trapped in a house,
with her father and her son.
1333
01:10:36,458 --> 01:10:39,542
Closing rank, shaming her
1334
01:10:39,625 --> 01:10:42,125
and teaching us all to shame her.
1335
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,416
That poor girl.
1336
01:10:49,791 --> 01:10:51,625
[clicks tongue, inhales]
1337
01:10:51,708 --> 01:10:56,625
Yesterday, I got a call
from a family law colleague in Brooklyn.
1338
01:10:57,375 --> 01:11:00,500
[smacks lips] He wanted to
double-check contact details
1339
01:11:00,583 --> 01:11:04,292
for Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, my client,
1340
01:11:04,375 --> 01:11:08,541
because my client
had filed an AOP with him.
1341
01:11:09,500 --> 01:11:10,708
In Brooklyn.
1342
01:11:11,458 --> 01:11:13,666
So I would not know.
1343
01:11:14,708 --> 01:11:16,250
What's an AOP?
1344
01:11:19,625 --> 01:11:22,041
"Acknowledgement of parentage"?
1345
01:11:25,375 --> 01:11:28,083
"Affirmation that I, Jefferson Wicks,
1346
01:11:28,166 --> 01:11:31,625
am the biological father of Cyrus Draven."
1347
01:11:36,666 --> 01:11:39,083
[Vera] No shame for you.
1348
01:11:40,125 --> 01:11:41,958
Right? [scoffs]
1349
01:11:42,041 --> 01:11:43,666
Who was the mother?
1350
01:11:45,208 --> 01:11:46,833
Does it even matter?
1351
01:11:47,458 --> 01:11:53,291
No. No! [scoffs] No, she came back
and dropped this poor kid in your lap.
1352
01:11:53,916 --> 01:11:56,167
And then she went and had a life.
1353
01:11:56,250 --> 01:11:59,750
And my faithful father came to the rescue.
1354
01:11:59,833 --> 01:12:04,167
Once again, the boys club closed ranks
and there I was, the loyal little idiot.
1355
01:12:04,250 --> 01:12:05,458
Trapped.
1356
01:12:05,541 --> 01:12:10,792
And I obeyed
and I honored and raised your son
1357
01:12:10,875 --> 01:12:13,958
while you sat on your pulpit, shameless.
1358
01:12:14,041 --> 01:12:17,833
You... hypocritical son of a bitch!
1359
01:12:17,916 --> 01:12:20,291
[breathing heavily]
1360
01:12:21,583 --> 01:12:22,833
[Wicks exhales softly]
1361
01:12:22,916 --> 01:12:24,083
[Nat] Cy?
1362
01:12:24,708 --> 01:12:25,625
Did you know?
1363
01:12:25,708 --> 01:12:27,791
Not until Vera told me this morning.
1364
01:12:28,458 --> 01:12:29,375
[Wicks] Yes.
1365
01:12:30,291 --> 01:12:31,916
Cy is my son.
1366
01:12:34,625 --> 01:12:36,375
From a loose woman of no importance
1367
01:12:36,458 --> 01:12:39,250
who I knew for one night
and haven't seen in 30 years.
1368
01:12:39,333 --> 01:12:42,416
Vera's father and I kept this secret.
But no longer.
1369
01:12:42,958 --> 01:12:44,625
He is my heir.
1370
01:12:46,041 --> 01:12:47,125
My son.
1371
01:12:49,625 --> 01:12:51,750
Now the world is going to know it.
1372
01:12:53,208 --> 01:12:55,416
So, rats,
1373
01:12:56,500 --> 01:12:57,791
flee the sinking ship.
1374
01:13:00,250 --> 01:13:01,000
[Nat clears throat]
1375
01:13:01,083 --> 01:13:02,542
Oh, cut the shit.
1376
01:13:02,625 --> 01:13:04,417
You're all standing by your man.
1377
01:13:04,500 --> 01:13:07,792
[scoffs] I just wanted to see it.
I wanted to see for myself.
1378
01:13:07,875 --> 01:13:10,792
You eat his shit with a spoon
and come back for seconds.
1379
01:13:10,875 --> 01:13:12,667
[Lee] That's kind of condescending, Vera.
1380
01:13:12,750 --> 01:13:14,708
-You don't know what we're feeling.
-[scoffs] Oh.
1381
01:13:14,791 --> 01:13:18,916
I think we're all, as Christians,
very shaken up by what you just said.
1382
01:13:20,916 --> 01:13:23,542
But we're fighting an existential war here
1383
01:13:23,625 --> 01:13:25,667
where the end justifies the means.
1384
01:13:25,750 --> 01:13:27,583
The church doesn't need
some pussy who's gonna
1385
01:13:27,666 --> 01:13:29,708
lie down and take it, we need a warrior.
1386
01:13:29,791 --> 01:13:31,417
We need a warrior
1387
01:13:31,500 --> 01:13:35,666
and I believe that God chose
Monsignor Wicks to be His warrior.
1388
01:13:36,416 --> 01:13:39,250
So, you and your son have my sword.
1389
01:13:39,958 --> 01:13:41,000
And...
1390
01:13:42,083 --> 01:13:43,708
we don't know this woman.
1391
01:13:44,708 --> 01:13:46,333
We do not know her.
1392
01:13:46,916 --> 01:13:49,541
We do not know, right, how she...
1393
01:13:51,541 --> 01:13:54,083
What is truth? Right?
With various sources.
1394
01:13:54,166 --> 01:13:56,625
We don't know that... We don't...
[hesitates] What exists?
1395
01:13:56,708 --> 01:13:58,333
Does any of this exist?
1396
01:13:58,416 --> 01:14:01,042
So...
1397
01:14:01,125 --> 01:14:02,417
Well said, Doc.
1398
01:14:02,500 --> 01:14:03,750
Thank you.
1399
01:14:04,458 --> 01:14:07,385
[Simone] You promised if I stuck with you,
you could heal me.
1400
01:14:08,291 --> 01:14:09,500
If that's true,
1401
01:14:10,041 --> 01:14:11,666
I don't need you to be a saint.
1402
01:14:12,166 --> 01:14:14,020
[Lee] We're with you, Monsignor Wicks.
1403
01:14:14,375 --> 01:14:18,833
And literally nothing that you say or do
is gonna change that.
1404
01:14:24,416 --> 01:14:25,750
[inhales deeply]
1405
01:14:25,833 --> 01:14:28,666
I will give my final service
1406
01:14:30,083 --> 01:14:32,500
a week from today on Easter Sunday.
1407
01:14:33,791 --> 01:14:35,208
And then
1408
01:14:35,958 --> 01:14:39,792
I will close the doors
of this sad little church for good.
1409
01:14:39,875 --> 01:14:42,541
[Wicks breathes deeply]
1410
01:14:43,250 --> 01:14:47,500
But not before I have destroyed
each and every one of you.
1411
01:14:48,083 --> 01:14:50,583
[tense music plays]
1412
01:14:50,666 --> 01:14:51,875
Sorry. Wait, what?
1413
01:14:51,958 --> 01:14:53,375
Your drinking, Nat?
1414
01:14:53,458 --> 01:14:54,667
Yeah. What?
1415
01:14:54,750 --> 01:14:56,583
Oh, you're a dangerous man.
1416
01:14:57,333 --> 01:14:58,667
Going to work drunk.
1417
01:14:58,750 --> 01:15:01,916
Treating patients, children, while drunk.
1418
01:15:02,708 --> 01:15:04,458
This community should know.
1419
01:15:04,541 --> 01:15:06,625
The medical board should know.
1420
01:15:06,708 --> 01:15:11,166
No one must ever trust or hire you again.
1421
01:15:11,791 --> 01:15:12,875
And, Lee.
1422
01:15:13,500 --> 01:15:16,417
This, uh, Troubadour book
you've been writing.
1423
01:15:16,500 --> 01:15:21,208
Its boot licking idiocy
is an affront to my ministry.
1424
01:15:21,291 --> 01:15:25,125
It... It's my duty to warn
not only the public but... [inhales]
1425
01:15:25,208 --> 01:15:27,208
...my friends in the publishing world.
1426
01:15:27,291 --> 01:15:30,250
It must be buried. You must be buried.
1427
01:15:30,833 --> 01:15:34,375
Exposed as the irrelevant clown
that you are.
1428
01:15:34,458 --> 01:15:36,875
What the hell?
What is even happening right now?
1429
01:15:36,958 --> 01:15:38,125
[Wicks] And, Vera.
1430
01:15:38,666 --> 01:15:41,000
You are your father's nightmare.
1431
01:15:41,791 --> 01:15:43,416
He would be so ashamed.
1432
01:15:45,333 --> 01:15:48,416
Simone. I cannot heal a faithless woman.
1433
01:15:49,125 --> 01:15:50,458
I cannot help you.
1434
01:15:50,541 --> 01:15:53,042
You said you could cast it out of me.
1435
01:15:53,125 --> 01:15:55,000
Mm, I promised you nothing.
1436
01:15:56,166 --> 01:15:58,708
I've given you all of my savings.
1437
01:15:58,791 --> 01:16:00,958
You cannot buy God's healing.
1438
01:16:01,750 --> 01:16:03,500
You will never be healed.
1439
01:16:03,583 --> 01:16:06,500
You will die in pain
in the prison of that chair.
1440
01:16:07,125 --> 01:16:10,083
Why are you doing this?
I don't understand.
1441
01:16:10,166 --> 01:16:13,333
-[Lee] This is a joke. Right? A joke.
-[Nat] I am so confused.
1442
01:16:13,416 --> 01:16:16,667
Is this payback for the Father Jud prayer
meeting because he ambushed us.
1443
01:16:16,750 --> 01:16:18,416
Father Jud's prayer meeting?
1444
01:16:19,875 --> 01:16:21,708
I have kept this church.
1445
01:16:21,791 --> 01:16:23,917
I have fortified it with the truth of God.
1446
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:27,833
And now the betrayal to find my authority
1447
01:16:27,916 --> 01:16:31,208
-and faith and life itself challenged...
-[door opens]
1448
01:16:31,291 --> 01:16:33,791
...and from inside my own sanctuary!
1449
01:16:36,333 --> 01:16:37,541
Get out!
1450
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:41,750
-[door slams]
-Weak.
1451
01:16:42,583 --> 01:16:43,917
All of you.
1452
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,208
You can't follow my path.
1453
01:16:46,291 --> 01:16:48,500
Yes, we are at war
1454
01:16:48,583 --> 01:16:51,125
and I cast you out of my fortress.
1455
01:16:51,708 --> 01:16:52,833
You son of a bitch.
1456
01:16:52,916 --> 01:16:55,792
On Easter Sunday,
when the pews fill with townspeople,
1457
01:16:55,875 --> 01:16:58,292
I will lay bare the sins of this flock.
1458
01:16:58,375 --> 01:17:02,875
Cut you loose and shake the dust
of this place off of my sandals.
1459
01:17:04,083 --> 01:17:05,291
And to hell
1460
01:17:06,625 --> 01:17:07,625
with you all.
1461
01:17:07,708 --> 01:17:09,791
[sinister music rises]
1462
01:17:16,958 --> 01:17:18,166
[music stops]
1463
01:17:21,416 --> 01:17:25,500
[inhales sharply] Well, glory be.
That cleared the room. [scoffs]
1464
01:17:25,583 --> 01:17:26,750
Cy.
1465
01:17:28,041 --> 01:17:30,042
-Why'd he do that?
-[sighs]
1466
01:17:30,125 --> 01:17:32,375
[Jud] Cy. Tell me. What was happening?
1467
01:17:32,458 --> 01:17:34,833
Why'd he torch them all?
Why would he do that?
1468
01:17:34,916 --> 01:17:36,333
Because I told him to.
1469
01:17:37,291 --> 01:17:39,916
When Vera told me the truth,
I went and found him.
1470
01:17:40,791 --> 01:17:44,000
And he embraced me as a son
for the first time in my life.
1471
01:17:44,750 --> 01:17:46,666
He unburdened himself.
1472
01:17:47,375 --> 01:17:49,375
[Wicks] I hate this place.
1473
01:17:50,541 --> 01:17:52,958
I hate this sad flock of losers.
1474
01:17:53,791 --> 01:17:55,416
I want to get out.
1475
01:17:56,208 --> 01:17:57,833
And now, finally...
1476
01:17:58,958 --> 01:18:00,166
I can.
1477
01:18:01,958 --> 01:18:03,166
He told me,
1478
01:18:03,958 --> 01:18:06,708
his grandfather's family fortune,
lost all these years,
1479
01:18:06,791 --> 01:18:09,000
he told me he found it. Just this week.
1480
01:18:09,083 --> 01:18:10,917
No. No, that money is gone.
1481
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,708
Nobody knows where Prentice put it,
but it's gone without a trace.
1482
01:18:14,791 --> 01:18:17,417
-He told me he found it.
-[chuckles derisively]
1483
01:18:17,500 --> 01:18:20,625
[Cy] He was gonna shutter this dump
and retire in filthy wealth.
1484
01:18:21,291 --> 01:18:24,333
And I told him, "Are you nuts?"
1485
01:18:24,416 --> 01:18:27,208
Retire? Do you know the power
of what you do on that stage?
1486
01:18:27,291 --> 01:18:28,542
I've shrunk the flock.
1487
01:18:28,625 --> 01:18:30,375
[Cy] No. You've radicalized them.
1488
01:18:31,041 --> 01:18:32,083
That is power.
1489
01:18:32,875 --> 01:18:36,792
In a small town, there are only so many
witches to burn and zealots to activate.
1490
01:18:36,875 --> 01:18:39,292
Your flame lacks fuel.
1491
01:18:39,375 --> 01:18:40,875
But on the Internet,
1492
01:18:41,375 --> 01:18:42,583
wildfire.
1493
01:18:43,875 --> 01:18:45,083
This money.
1494
01:18:45,875 --> 01:18:48,625
Your cult of personality.
Are you kidding me?
1495
01:18:48,708 --> 01:18:50,250
Give me four years.
1496
01:18:50,333 --> 01:18:51,833
You could be president.
1497
01:18:52,916 --> 01:18:55,041
Together we can build a real empire.
1498
01:18:56,250 --> 01:18:59,250
As father and son.
1499
01:19:01,666 --> 01:19:03,000
Like in Star Wars?
1500
01:19:03,083 --> 01:19:05,875
-Yeah. Exactly, like the Rebels.
-Oh.
1501
01:19:05,958 --> 01:19:09,375
His ministry and my political instincts
fueled by enough money.
1502
01:19:09,458 --> 01:19:11,848
Can you imagine
what we could do in Christ's name?
1503
01:19:12,500 --> 01:19:14,042
Yeah. Yeah, I think I can.
1504
01:19:14,125 --> 01:19:17,458
First, I told him,
and I'll admit this is a little personal,
1505
01:19:17,541 --> 01:19:20,292
first I told him
we need to burn this flock.
1506
01:19:20,375 --> 01:19:21,750
They're a liability.
1507
01:19:21,833 --> 01:19:23,958
If they associate themselves with us,
1508
01:19:24,041 --> 01:19:26,917
show up on cable news,
even want a place in this thing...
1509
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,333
We need to burn them off like leeches.
1510
01:19:30,250 --> 01:19:32,055
[Jud] That's why he torched them all.
1511
01:19:32,541 --> 01:19:34,375
'Cause of your petty vindictiveness.
1512
01:19:34,958 --> 01:19:37,982
One of them might have killed him for it.
You know that, right?
1513
01:19:38,083 --> 01:19:40,916
Getting back to this vast fortune.
1514
01:19:41,500 --> 01:19:42,708
So it's yours now?
1515
01:19:42,791 --> 01:19:44,625
-Technically, yes.
-Technically?
1516
01:19:45,208 --> 01:19:47,416
-He didn't tell you where it was.
-[Cy] No.
1517
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,208
His accounts are empty. There's nothing.
1518
01:19:51,083 --> 01:19:51,958
So where is it?
1519
01:19:52,708 --> 01:19:55,208
And then, I realized, 50 years ago,
1520
01:19:55,291 --> 01:19:59,125
what was the safest way
for Prentice to hide $80 million?
1521
01:19:59,708 --> 01:20:02,500
-A Swiss bank account.
-[Benoit] Aha!
1522
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,416
And so all you need to do
is find that account number.
1523
01:20:07,333 --> 01:20:08,667
No luck there?
1524
01:20:08,750 --> 01:20:11,500
[sighs in exasperation] It has to be
written down somewhere.
1525
01:20:11,583 --> 01:20:13,833
Martha files everything and it isn't here.
1526
01:20:13,916 --> 01:20:15,208
I don't know.
1527
01:20:15,791 --> 01:20:18,583
Here. I thought it might be a code
because he kept saying,
1528
01:20:18,666 --> 01:20:20,458
"Eve's Apple
would be restored to the tree."
1529
01:20:20,541 --> 01:20:24,125
{\an8}That was a thing.
As if Eve's Apple is the fortune.
1530
01:20:24,208 --> 01:20:26,667
{\an8}But a Swiss account,
we're looking for 19 numbers,
1531
01:20:26,750 --> 01:20:28,041
so it doesn't work.
1532
01:20:28,583 --> 01:20:30,708
Vera, did he ever tell you anything?
1533
01:20:31,583 --> 01:20:34,708
Even if he did, I would go to my grave
before giving it to you.
1534
01:20:35,500 --> 01:20:36,583
Yeah.
1535
01:20:37,666 --> 01:20:40,833
You'd have done anything to keep
the prodigal son from getting the fortune.
1536
01:20:40,916 --> 01:20:42,208
It burns you up.
1537
01:20:42,916 --> 01:20:44,333
You bitter hag.
1538
01:20:45,375 --> 01:20:46,791
That money
1539
01:20:47,375 --> 01:20:52,791
is one psalm in the Bible
of my bitterness, you fucking child.
1540
01:20:53,458 --> 01:20:57,541
You should come and get your shit,
it'll be out on the street. [scoffs]
1541
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,042
[door opens, closes]
1542
01:21:03,125 --> 01:21:06,542
You. You're a detective. I'll pay you.
I don't care, this is very important,
1543
01:21:06,625 --> 01:21:09,458
my inheritance
and future political career depends on it.
1544
01:21:09,541 --> 01:21:11,667
Can you think of anything
1545
01:21:11,750 --> 01:21:15,250
related to Eve's Apple
that might contain that number?
1546
01:21:17,208 --> 01:21:20,291
Oh, um... Mm-mm. [sniffles]
1547
01:21:20,916 --> 01:21:22,667
But if you think of anything,
you'll call me?
1548
01:21:22,750 --> 01:21:24,833
-Oh, yeah. You bet.
-All right.
1549
01:21:25,625 --> 01:21:26,708
[engine starts]
1550
01:21:26,791 --> 01:21:28,916
[intriguing music plays]
1551
01:21:32,208 --> 01:21:33,541
We should look everywhere.
1552
01:21:38,458 --> 01:21:41,541
It might be, uh, sewn in the lining.
1553
01:21:42,166 --> 01:21:44,458
-Etched in the metal.
-[ripping]
1554
01:21:53,958 --> 01:21:55,083
[Benoit sighs]
1555
01:22:00,166 --> 01:22:01,125
[hollow thudding]
1556
01:22:04,875 --> 01:22:06,166
This is hollow.
1557
01:22:06,750 --> 01:22:08,166
Yeah. Do it.
1558
01:22:16,083 --> 01:22:17,291
[sighs]
1559
01:22:24,125 --> 01:22:25,125
[sighs]
1560
01:22:25,791 --> 01:22:26,750
[clatters]
1561
01:22:29,625 --> 01:22:31,167
Remind me to file this.
1562
01:22:31,250 --> 01:22:32,541
File that.
1563
01:22:33,791 --> 01:22:35,667
-It doesn't make sense.
-I know.
1564
01:22:35,750 --> 01:22:37,792
An 80-million-dollar fortune.
1565
01:22:37,875 --> 01:22:39,625
But if Eve's Apple is the fortune
1566
01:22:39,708 --> 01:22:43,025
and it's not a pile of cash
in a Swiss account somewhere, what is it?
1567
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:47,750
What?
1568
01:22:47,833 --> 01:22:50,000
They must have
misprinted the date on this.
1569
01:22:51,083 --> 01:22:54,583
It says the crypt opening thing
was ordered last Wednesday.
1570
01:22:55,250 --> 01:22:56,666
That can't be right.
1571
01:22:58,541 --> 01:23:01,750
Who would preorder burial equipment
for a man who isn't dead?
1572
01:23:03,125 --> 01:23:06,167
Someone who knew with great certainty
when their day and hour would come.
1573
01:23:06,250 --> 01:23:07,541
Give me that.
1574
01:23:08,583 --> 01:23:11,292
Oh, that's computer printed.
That's not a misprint. That's it.
1575
01:23:11,375 --> 01:23:13,833
Whoever called in that order,
that's the key.
1576
01:23:13,916 --> 01:23:15,500
-Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
-[line ringing]
1577
01:23:15,583 --> 01:23:18,083
-[telephone ringing]
-[pop music playing faintly]
1578
01:23:19,333 --> 01:23:21,375
Steel Wheels Construction. This is Louise.
1579
01:23:21,458 --> 01:23:24,141
Hello, Louise. It's Father Jud
from Perpetual Fortitude.
1580
01:23:25,250 --> 01:23:27,333
-Oh. Hello.
-Hi, Louise.
1581
01:23:27,416 --> 01:23:29,833
We had a piece
of your construction equipment here today.
1582
01:23:29,916 --> 01:23:32,500
-Uh, a forklift to open a, um... a crypt.
-Oh, yeah. I know.
1583
01:23:32,583 --> 01:23:34,958
It's not too often
we get a crypt opening order.
1584
01:23:35,041 --> 01:23:36,375
Great. So I need to know...
1585
01:23:36,458 --> 01:23:38,792
I actually processed that order.
I do all the processing.
1586
01:23:38,875 --> 01:23:40,542
Yeah. What I need to know, Louise, is...
1587
01:23:40,625 --> 01:23:42,625
-I run this place with my brother James.
-Right.
1588
01:23:42,708 --> 01:23:44,833
-He takes orders but I process them.
-Yeah. Right.
1589
01:23:44,916 --> 01:23:46,917
So the reason I'm
calling, Louise, is to...
1590
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,750
I've been to that church of yours,
but I don't think you were there.
1591
01:23:49,833 --> 01:23:52,833
-No, I... I'm new, relatively new here.
-Congratulations.
1592
01:23:52,916 --> 01:23:55,667
-Louise, I... I have to ask...
-No, it was an older guy.
1593
01:23:55,750 --> 01:23:58,125
-Father... Is he...
-Monsignor, Monsignor.
1594
01:23:58,208 --> 01:23:59,958
-Father Monsignor, okay, well...
-Louise...
1595
01:24:00,041 --> 01:24:03,542
He was preaching when I went and
I gotta tell you, that is not a nice man.
1596
01:24:03,625 --> 01:24:06,417
-But I am sorry that he...
-Okay.
1597
01:24:06,500 --> 01:24:08,917
...yikes, died and,
you know, for all y'all's loss...
1598
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,417
Yeah, it's a terrible tragedy
for everyone, Louise.
1599
01:24:11,500 --> 01:24:13,917
Can I... I have to, uh, interrupt.
1600
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,000
-I have a question.
-Yeah.
1601
01:24:16,083 --> 01:24:19,458
Uh, the order for the forklift.
I need to know who placed the order.
1602
01:24:19,541 --> 01:24:21,958
-James takes the orders and...
-James takes the orders.
1603
01:24:22,041 --> 01:24:24,625
-...he's left for the day.
-Can I have James' number?
1604
01:24:24,708 --> 01:24:27,333
This is very important. We need to
find out who placed that order.
1605
01:24:27,416 --> 01:24:30,792
-No, no. I don't think I can do that...
-No, it's very important.
1606
01:24:30,875 --> 01:24:33,000
-Excuse me, Father.
-It's very...
1607
01:24:33,083 --> 01:24:35,083
What I can do, as I was saying,
1608
01:24:35,166 --> 01:24:38,042
is I can get that information for you
and then I will give you
1609
01:24:38,125 --> 01:24:39,750
-a buzz back.
-That's it. That's great.
1610
01:24:39,833 --> 01:24:42,458
And if you could call James now,
I would appreciate it so much.
1611
01:24:42,541 --> 01:24:44,458
-Thank you, Louise.
-And she'll call you back.
1612
01:24:44,541 --> 01:24:46,625
I will. Hey, Father,
could I ask you something?
1613
01:24:46,708 --> 01:24:49,000
Yeah, it's... Though, I mean...
1614
01:24:49,583 --> 01:24:51,000
Well, if you can make it quick.
1615
01:24:51,083 --> 01:24:54,042
-This is a priority for us right now.
-Maybe she could call you back and...
1616
01:24:54,125 --> 01:24:56,208
Father Jud would you... Could you...
1617
01:24:57,708 --> 01:24:58,708
Louise?
1618
01:24:58,791 --> 01:25:00,583
-[scoffs]
-[Louise] Oh, God.
1619
01:25:02,250 --> 01:25:03,333
Louise?
1620
01:25:03,958 --> 01:25:05,958
[sighs] Will you pray for me?
1621
01:25:09,500 --> 01:25:10,416
Uh...
1622
01:25:11,375 --> 01:25:13,000
Yeah, of course.
1623
01:25:14,416 --> 01:25:17,250
-Can I ask what for?
-[Louise sniffles] Uh...
1624
01:25:18,708 --> 01:25:20,333
It's, uh, my mother.
1625
01:25:22,666 --> 01:25:23,875
She's sick?
1626
01:25:24,625 --> 01:25:25,625
Yeah.
1627
01:25:25,708 --> 01:25:28,333
Um, she's in hospice.
1628
01:25:29,708 --> 01:25:31,250
I'm so sorry, Louise.
1629
01:25:31,333 --> 01:25:33,333
Uh, she won't talk to me.
1630
01:25:33,416 --> 01:25:35,500
We fought last time we talked.
1631
01:25:35,583 --> 01:25:41,375
Uh, she has a tumor in her brain
that's affecting her,
1632
01:25:41,458 --> 01:25:45,000
and it's making her say
really terrible things,
1633
01:25:45,083 --> 01:25:47,208
and so I said bad things back
1634
01:25:47,291 --> 01:25:50,000
and now I'm afraid that
that's gonna be the last thing
1635
01:25:50,083 --> 01:25:52,166
that we ever say to each other.
1636
01:25:54,833 --> 01:25:56,916
[tearfully] Father, I, um...
1637
01:25:58,833 --> 01:26:02,250
I'm feeling pretty alone, um, right now.
1638
01:26:05,541 --> 01:26:08,750
-[crying softly]
-I'm so sorry, Louise.
1639
01:26:10,083 --> 01:26:11,291
You're not alone.
1640
01:26:12,750 --> 01:26:14,166
I'm right here.
1641
01:26:14,958 --> 01:26:16,166
I'm here.
1642
01:26:17,041 --> 01:26:18,748
Can you tell me your mother's name?
1643
01:26:23,625 --> 01:26:24,916
[clicks tongue softly]
1644
01:26:26,166 --> 01:26:27,250
[sighs softly]
1645
01:26:27,333 --> 01:26:30,416
-[thunder rumbling]
-[wind gusting]
1646
01:26:32,875 --> 01:26:33,833
[inhales]
1647
01:26:34,875 --> 01:26:36,208
[exhales sharply]
1648
01:26:47,458 --> 01:26:50,083
I pray that Barbara
may feel her daughter's love.
1649
01:26:51,166 --> 01:26:55,000
That it will comfort her in this time,
and, Lord, I pray for Louise.
1650
01:26:56,416 --> 01:26:58,542
Be with her
and give her wisdom and guidance.
1651
01:26:58,625 --> 01:27:02,125
Hold her in your healing arms
and let her know she is loved.
1652
01:27:02,666 --> 01:27:04,291
She is not alone.
1653
01:27:04,916 --> 01:27:08,333
This we pray
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
1654
01:27:09,166 --> 01:27:10,125
Okay, Louise.
1655
01:27:10,750 --> 01:27:13,333
You have my number.
Any time, day or night,
1656
01:27:13,416 --> 01:27:14,791
I'm here for you.
1657
01:27:15,291 --> 01:27:17,167
-This church is here for you.
-[door opens]
1658
01:27:17,250 --> 01:27:18,500
Bless you. Okay.
1659
01:27:19,041 --> 01:27:22,041
[panting] Storm. I came to close up.
1660
01:27:23,791 --> 01:27:26,474
[Jud] I'll get the church.
You take care of the rectory.
1661
01:27:30,375 --> 01:27:32,542
-[wind gusting]
-Don't follow me, Blanc. I'm done.
1662
01:27:32,625 --> 01:27:34,458
And, uh, why exactly?
1663
01:27:34,541 --> 01:27:37,000
I've had a "road to Damascus" thing.
1664
01:27:37,083 --> 01:27:39,667
Paul had a holy revelation
on the road to Damascus.
1665
01:27:39,750 --> 01:27:42,625
Yes, I know. He was struck blind
and all that hogwash.
1666
01:27:42,708 --> 01:27:44,708
Probably just a case of pink eye.
1667
01:27:44,791 --> 01:27:48,292
But he was not on the verge
of solving a murder when it happened.
1668
01:27:48,375 --> 01:27:50,875
I mean, what do you think
we're doing here?
1669
01:27:51,541 --> 01:27:54,875
Why do you think I became a priest?
No bullshit. Really. Why?
1670
01:27:54,958 --> 01:27:58,042
-[wind howling]
-[thunder rumbling]
1671
01:27:58,125 --> 01:27:59,416
You felt guilt.
1672
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,917
For taking a life. And the church,
1673
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,833
it offered you a place to hide
and a clear method
1674
01:28:04,916 --> 01:28:07,000
to give you a sense of absolution.
1675
01:28:07,625 --> 01:28:10,500
The guy I killed in the ring, I hated him.
1676
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:12,750
I remember, I knew he was in trouble
1677
01:28:12,833 --> 01:28:15,042
and I kept going and going
until I felt him break.
1678
01:28:15,125 --> 01:28:17,750
It wasn't an accident.
I killed him with hate in my heart.
1679
01:28:17,833 --> 01:28:20,167
There's no hiding from that,
there's no solving it.
1680
01:28:20,250 --> 01:28:24,083
God didn't hide me or fix me.
He loves me when I'm guilty.
1681
01:28:24,166 --> 01:28:26,292
That's what I should be doing
for these people.
1682
01:28:26,375 --> 01:28:27,667
Not this whodunnit game.
1683
01:28:27,750 --> 01:28:29,000
No, now wait a minute.
1684
01:28:29,083 --> 01:28:30,541
[wind gusting]
1685
01:28:35,375 --> 01:28:37,583
Excuse me. Excuse me, I...
1686
01:28:38,333 --> 01:28:40,083
Would you look at me
when I'm talking to you?
1687
01:28:40,166 --> 01:28:42,167
We're looking for a murderer.
This is not a game.
1688
01:28:42,250 --> 01:28:43,625
It is a game!
1689
01:28:43,708 --> 01:28:45,333
Solving it, winning it.
1690
01:28:45,416 --> 01:28:47,458
Getting your big checkmate moment.
1691
01:28:47,541 --> 01:28:51,375
And by using me in it, you're setting me
against my real and only purpose in life.
1692
01:28:51,458 --> 01:28:54,083
Which is not to fight the wicked
and bring them to justice,
1693
01:28:54,166 --> 01:28:57,375
but to serve them
and bring them to Christ.
1694
01:28:57,458 --> 01:28:59,292
Otherwise, I'm just as bad as Wicks.
1695
01:28:59,375 --> 01:29:01,458
Making it about me and not Jesus.
1696
01:29:02,500 --> 01:29:04,833
Listen, you don't
have to understand, Blanc.
1697
01:29:04,916 --> 01:29:06,458
But just please,
1698
01:29:06,541 --> 01:29:08,833
please, please, please let me be.
1699
01:29:08,916 --> 01:29:12,625
-[intriguing music plays]
-[thunder rumbling]
1700
01:29:15,625 --> 01:29:17,375
-Can you say that again?
-No.
1701
01:29:17,458 --> 01:29:20,333
About making it about you, not Jesus.
Like Wicks, you said.
1702
01:29:20,416 --> 01:29:22,625
Father, this is important.
1703
01:29:22,708 --> 01:29:24,208
Help me understand!
1704
01:29:24,291 --> 01:29:27,375
We are here to serve the world,
not beat it.
1705
01:29:28,125 --> 01:29:30,250
-That's what Christ did.
-So?
1706
01:29:30,333 --> 01:29:33,167
So when Wicks was talking about
fighting the world for Christ's sake,
1707
01:29:33,250 --> 01:29:36,708
he wasn't talking about Christ,
he was talking about his own ego.
1708
01:29:36,791 --> 01:29:39,708
And power.
He was never talking about Christ.
1709

Yes, over and over
he talked about Christ rising in power.

01:29:45,041 --> 01:29:46,958
Getting his revenge on the unfaithful.

This is my game, not yours.

I'll handle her.

found in the closet.

01:51:23,833 --> 01:51:25,000
His final task,
2054
01:51:25,083 --> 01:51:29,417
to remove the incriminating
drug-laced flask.
2055
01:51:29,500 --> 01:51:32,416
But where was it? It was gone.
2056
01:51:33,541 --> 01:51:35,667
The one hiccup in his plan.
2057
01:51:35,750 --> 01:51:39,708
The result of a moment
of foolish grace by Father Jud
2058
01:51:40,291 --> 01:51:44,750
who concealed the flask
to hide Wicks' drinking
2059
01:51:44,833 --> 01:51:47,750
and returned later to retrieve it.
2060
01:51:50,083 --> 01:51:51,291
My God.
2061
01:51:51,791 --> 01:51:52,875
Nat.
2062
01:51:52,958 --> 01:51:54,250
Why?
2063
01:51:54,750 --> 01:51:56,917
[Vera] Wicks was going to scorch
the earth.
2064
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:58,625
He was going to ruin him.
2065
01:51:58,708 --> 01:52:01,542
No. The bigger why.
The why that brought you here.
2066
01:52:01,625 --> 01:52:04,042
Why do all this insane, elaborate stuff?
2067
01:52:04,125 --> 01:52:07,000
The theatricality? The impossible crime.
2068
01:52:07,083 --> 01:52:08,375
Why?
2069
01:52:09,041 --> 01:52:10,167
Indeed.
2070
01:52:10,250 --> 01:52:12,833
Okay, so... if Dr. Nat killed Wicks,
2071
01:52:13,375 --> 01:52:14,292
who killed Nat?
2072
01:52:14,375 --> 01:52:16,291
Well, now we get to it.
2073
01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:19,667
Not some fiddly locked-door mystery
2074
01:52:19,750 --> 01:52:23,125
with devices and clues,
2075
01:52:23,208 --> 01:52:26,625
but a much, much larger scheme.
2076
01:52:26,708 --> 01:52:31,792
One whose roots
run to the bedrock of this church.
2077
01:52:31,875 --> 01:52:33,625
And one which draws me,
2078
01:52:33,708 --> 01:52:36,958
an unbeliever in every sense of the word,
2079
01:52:37,041 --> 01:52:40,041
into the realm of belief.
2080
01:52:41,666 --> 01:52:43,500
To understand this case,
2081
01:52:44,541 --> 01:52:48,542
I had to look at the myth
that was being constructed.
2082
01:52:48,625 --> 01:52:51,458
Not to solve whether it was real or not,
2083
01:52:51,541 --> 01:52:53,958
but to feel in my soul
2084
01:52:54,041 --> 01:52:57,250
the essence of that
which it strove to convey.
2085
01:53:00,541 --> 01:53:01,958
A holy priest.
2086
01:53:02,708 --> 01:53:08,042
Struck down by no man,
but by the hand of Satan himself.
2087
01:53:08,125 --> 01:53:11,625
Laid to rest
in the sealed tomb of his father,
2088
01:53:12,208 --> 01:53:13,625
but then risen
2089
01:53:14,333 --> 01:53:15,875
by the will of God.
2090
01:53:15,958 --> 01:53:17,958
Risen as something new.
2091
01:53:18,041 --> 01:53:20,042
No longer a fallible man,
2092
01:53:20,125 --> 01:53:24,041
but now a symbol
of the Lord's power over death.
2093
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:27,625
His justice for the holy.
2094
01:53:28,125 --> 01:53:30,375
His vengeance for the wicked.
2095
01:53:33,166 --> 01:53:36,917
Okay. And now, what really happened?
2096
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:39,000
-Yes. Yes.

2097

of miracles and resurrections
and reveal what really happened.
2099

What?
2115
01:55:06,583 --> 01:55:09,292
Are you saying that
your conclusion, Benoit Blanc,
2116
01:55:09,375 --> 01:55:12,333
is that Monsignor Wicks
rose from the dead?
2117
01:55:12,416 --> 01:55:13,833
That it was a miracle?

[Jud] Blanc?
2123
01:55:26,250 --> 01:55:28,583
If you know what really happened,
you should tell everyone.
2124
01:55:28,666 --> 01:55:32,375
Is this you sparing our faith
or being respectful or something?
2125
01:55:32,458 --> 01:55:34,667
Because we deserve the truth.

It is not.

Isn't that what all this is for?

-[imperceptible]
-[Martha] With defiant pride,
2231
02:01:11,750 --> 02:01:13,166
I confessed.
2232
02:01:14,000 --> 02:01:16,166
[panting]
2233
02:01:16,750 --> 02:01:18,375
To the wrong priest.
2234
02:01:19,916 --> 02:01:21,250
[breath trembles]
2235
02:01:22,583 --> 02:01:24,542
Time is of the essence now.
2236
02:01:24,625 --> 02:01:26,625
Last Sunday, in the rectory,
2237
02:01:26,708 --> 02:01:29,875
Vera confronted Wicks
and you learned about Cy.
2238
02:01:29,958 --> 02:01:32,917
I could accept that he had strayed.
2239
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:36,791
-[imperceptible]
-But as he spoke, something became clear.
2240
02:01:37,708 --> 02:01:39,916
This was something much bigger.
2241
02:01:40,416 --> 02:01:44,833
He was embracing that terrible boy.
2242
02:01:46,541 --> 02:01:48,583
That's when I suspected.
2243
02:01:48,666 --> 02:01:51,042
So you call the construction company.
2244
02:01:51,125 --> 02:01:52,625
{\an8}Thank you, James.
2245
02:01:54,875 --> 02:01:56,192
{\an8}[Martha] And I was certain.
2246
02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:00,333
He had ordered the equipment
to open the crypt
2247
02:02:00,416 --> 02:02:06,250
to steal the diamond
for his own greed and lust for power.
2248
02:02:06,333 --> 02:02:10,875
The corrupting sin
of Eve's Apple would be unearthed
2249
02:02:11,541 --> 02:02:13,875
{\an8}and this church would fall
2250
02:02:13,958 --> 02:02:18,583
because of everything
Prentice had warned me about.
2251
02:02:18,666 --> 02:02:20,166
I had failed him.
2252
02:02:22,750 --> 02:02:23,958
All my life,
2253
02:02:24,583 --> 02:02:27,916
I was not the bad one. I was the good one.
2254
02:02:28,500 --> 02:02:30,000
The faithful one.
2255
02:02:30,083 --> 02:02:32,791
Serving and protecting the church.
2256
02:02:33,416 --> 02:02:36,417
If I failed in that, what is my life?
2257
02:02:36,500 --> 02:02:37,583
I understand.
2258
02:02:37,666 --> 02:02:40,292
My sole purpose
2259
02:02:40,375 --> 02:02:41,875
and I failed.
2260
02:02:42,958 --> 02:02:44,166
Unless...
2261
02:02:45,375 --> 02:02:46,750
[breath trembles]
2262
02:02:48,166 --> 02:02:49,125
Unless...
2263
02:02:51,833 --> 02:02:55,500
Unless I could...
I could steal the jewel first
2264
02:02:55,583 --> 02:02:57,416
and get rid of it forever.
2265
02:02:58,416 --> 02:02:59,750
And with the same stroke,
2266
02:02:59,833 --> 02:03:04,083
raise Wicks up
as a miraculous risen saint.
2267
02:03:04,166 --> 02:03:07,666
{\an8}Not a fallible man, but a symbol
2268
02:03:08,500 --> 02:03:10,500
{\an8}that would save my church.
2269
02:03:11,666 --> 02:03:14,208
All it would take is a miracle.
2270
02:03:15,583 --> 02:03:17,416
So I formed my plan.
2271
02:03:18,416 --> 02:03:22,500
Wicks' death must be a holy mystery.
2272
02:03:23,291 --> 02:03:26,375
Unsolvable and divine.
2273
02:03:27,375 --> 02:03:29,125
But you couldn't do it alone.
2274
02:03:29,833 --> 02:03:30,916
No.
2275
02:03:32,458 --> 02:03:34,083
A weak man, I thought.
2276
02:03:34,666 --> 02:03:35,792
Desperate.
2277
02:03:35,875 --> 02:03:38,625
Someone who would fall in line
to save the church
2278
02:03:38,708 --> 02:03:41,375
and stay in line to cover his shame.
2279
02:03:41,958 --> 02:03:45,833
And who had access
to medical-grade tranquilizers.
2280
02:03:45,916 --> 02:03:48,041
Yes. And that.
2281
02:03:51,458 --> 02:03:54,416
It all went according to plan.
2282
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:58,000
Oh, God. [breathing heavily]
2283
02:03:58,083 --> 02:03:59,167
My vanity.
2284
02:03:59,250 --> 02:04:00,750
So wicked.
2285
02:04:01,291 --> 02:04:02,416
[Jud] Martha.
2286
02:04:03,041 --> 02:04:05,500
I understand, I promise, I do.
2287
02:04:06,083 --> 02:04:07,833
Keep going. I'm here.
2288
02:04:07,916 --> 02:04:10,375
[Martha] I didn't reckon the cost.
2289
02:04:11,458 --> 02:04:13,291
Forgive me, Samson.
2290
02:04:13,833 --> 02:04:16,167
Strong Samson, faithful Samson.
2291
02:04:16,250 --> 02:04:18,875
Samson. Who made the coffins.
2292
02:04:21,541 --> 02:04:23,833
[grunts] Shit.
2293
02:04:24,625 --> 02:04:26,041
[Martha] You will rise again.
2294
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:28,750
It will be okay.
2295
02:04:28,833 --> 02:04:30,541
You will rise again.
2296
02:04:31,125 --> 02:04:33,292
It will be okay. [exhales]
2297
02:04:33,375 --> 02:04:35,250
[melancholic music plays]
2298
02:04:35,333 --> 02:04:36,625
I promise.
2299
02:04:37,333 --> 02:04:40,458
He didn't understand why we were doing it.
2300
02:04:40,541 --> 02:04:43,458
Anything for you, my angel.
2301
02:04:44,208 --> 02:04:45,525
[Martha] But he trusted me.
2302
02:04:45,875 --> 02:04:47,708
Because he loved me.
2303
02:04:48,375 --> 02:04:50,500
Oh, Lord. [sobs]
2304
02:04:55,250 --> 02:04:57,083
How did it go so wrong?
2305
02:04:57,666 --> 02:04:59,583
[thunder crashing]
2306
02:04:59,666 --> 02:05:01,667
[Martha] It was supposed to be so simple.
2307
02:05:01,750 --> 02:05:03,708
The doctor gives the signal.
2308
02:05:03,791 --> 02:05:05,000
[cell phone chimes]
2309
02:05:16,208 --> 02:05:18,625
[Martha] Samson retrieves the jewel.
2310
02:05:19,875 --> 02:05:22,708
The Lazarus door serves its purpose.
2311
02:05:25,541 --> 02:05:26,708
[beeps]
2312
02:05:26,791 --> 02:05:30,166
All caught on camera the way we planned.
2313
02:05:30,791 --> 02:05:33,583
Dr. Nat would drive off
with Wicks' body in his truck
2314
02:05:34,500 --> 02:05:37,750
and dispose of it
in that nasty gook in his cellar.
2315
02:05:37,833 --> 02:05:41,917
And the next day, Samson would
tell the tale of the risen saint
2316
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:46,000
and his word of blessing
to his faithful groundskeeper
2317
02:05:46,083 --> 02:05:49,000
before ascending back into heaven.
2318
02:05:49,666 --> 02:05:51,083
A miracle.
2319
02:05:51,666 --> 02:05:53,500
It would have been perfect.
2320
02:05:55,416 --> 02:05:57,458
I wasn't supposed to be there.
2321
02:05:57,541 --> 02:05:59,666
You most certainly were not.
2322
02:06:00,458 --> 02:06:01,458
[Benoit] Did you know
2323
02:06:01,541 --> 02:06:04,625
what had happened
when you found Samson's body?
2324
02:06:04,708 --> 02:06:06,417
I had an idea.
2325
02:06:06,500 --> 02:06:08,583
[sobbing] No, no!
2326
02:06:09,250 --> 02:06:11,083
But I had to be sure.
2327
02:06:14,541 --> 02:06:15,750
[Nat] Praise be.
2328
02:06:16,250 --> 02:06:17,458
It's accomplished.
2329
02:06:35,958 --> 02:06:39,291
-[clatters]
-Oh. Oh. Oh.
2330
02:06:42,208 --> 02:06:44,125
[Martha] Then he told me the fairy tale
2331
02:06:44,208 --> 02:06:47,291
of how everything
had gone according to plan.
2332
02:06:48,750 --> 02:06:52,208
It was only then that I told him
I'd been to the crypt.
2333
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:56,666
-And I knew he was lying.
-[gulps]
2334
02:06:58,416 --> 02:07:00,541
[Martha] And then he told me the truth.
2335
02:07:01,500 --> 02:07:03,305
-[thunder rumbling]
-[yelps, groans]
2336
02:07:05,333 --> 02:07:07,750
Shit. We can't let him see us.
2337
02:07:08,791 --> 02:07:10,375
[Jud pants, groans]
2338
02:07:12,250 --> 02:07:13,458
[gasps softly]
2339
02:07:16,333 --> 02:07:17,541
[Nat] Jesus.
2340
02:07:20,541 --> 02:07:22,166
[Martha] My second mistake.
2341
02:07:22,666 --> 02:07:27,291
Underestimating the temptation
of Eve's Apple.
2342
02:07:28,541 --> 02:07:32,917
Our agreed mission was to destroy it
or throw it in the sea.
2343
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:37,500
But all this power will I give thee.
2344
02:07:38,416 --> 02:07:41,458
Christ himself could resist temptation,
2345
02:07:41,541 --> 02:07:44,833
but this desperate little man,
2346
02:07:45,333 --> 02:07:48,541
all that stood in his way
was Samson and I.
2347
02:07:49,375 --> 02:07:51,375
Now, here was his opportunity.
2348
02:07:52,250 --> 02:07:55,417
To remove his obstacles.
2349
02:07:55,500 --> 02:07:56,417
[thunder crashes]
2350
02:07:56,500 --> 02:08:00,500
Frame a young priest with a violent past
2351
02:08:00,583 --> 02:08:02,500
and keep the jewel.
2352
02:08:04,458 --> 02:08:05,208
He took it.
2353
02:08:05,291 --> 02:08:06,708
[yells]
2354
02:08:09,833 --> 02:08:13,708
Then all that remained in his way was me.
2355
02:08:13,791 --> 02:08:14,625
[imperceptible]
2356
02:08:14,708 --> 02:08:19,291
He had poisoned my coffee
with a lethal dose of pentobarbital.
2357
02:08:20,208 --> 02:08:22,833
No remedy once ingested.
2358
02:08:23,583 --> 02:08:24,833
Mm, painless.
2359
02:08:24,916 --> 02:08:27,833
A little numbness in the lips.
2360
02:08:28,500 --> 02:08:31,583
Then in ten minutes,
time for your final prayer.
2361
02:08:32,416 --> 02:08:35,583
Then he begged me to understand
why he was doing all this.
2362
02:08:35,666 --> 02:08:39,125
That the money would lure back
his harpy wife,
2363
02:08:39,208 --> 02:08:41,125
blah, blah, blah.
2364
02:08:41,833 --> 02:08:44,083
I told him I understood.
2365
02:08:45,416 --> 02:08:47,416
I understood why he did it.
2366
02:08:48,708 --> 02:08:49,791
-[clatters]
-Oh.
2367
02:08:51,875 --> 02:08:54,500
[Martha] I had understood it all.
2368
02:09:14,708 --> 02:09:16,708
[Martha] These things I did with
2369
02:09:17,458 --> 02:09:20,083
hatred in my heart.
2370
02:09:25,166 --> 02:09:27,583
[Martha] Vengeance is mine, said the Lord.
2371
02:09:33,125 --> 02:09:36,625
And that is the story the crime
scene will tell the world, but...
2372
02:09:37,208 --> 02:09:39,417
-[squeaks]
-[liquid sloshing]
2373
02:09:39,500 --> 02:09:41,416
[Martha] ...inside my heart,
2374
02:09:42,166 --> 02:09:43,375
I know.
2375
02:09:44,375 --> 02:09:45,333
[switch clicks]
2376
02:09:47,458 --> 02:09:49,083
Vengeance is mine.
2377
02:09:52,916 --> 02:09:56,417
These sins I confess to you, Father.
2378
02:09:56,500 --> 02:09:59,791
[breathing heavily] I have lied,
I have killed,
2379
02:10:00,500 --> 02:10:01,708
and now
2380
02:10:02,708 --> 02:10:05,250
I have topped it all off
with a real doozy.
2381
02:10:05,333 --> 02:10:07,541
[breathing heavily]
2382
02:10:09,958 --> 02:10:11,208
[gasps]
2383
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:14,542
Father. Quickly now, quickly.
2384
02:10:14,625 --> 02:10:15,917
[hesitates] What's happening?
2385
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:18,125
I knew when I saw her lips...
2386
02:10:20,166 --> 02:10:21,792
it was already too late.
2387
02:10:21,875 --> 02:10:22,875
[sighs]
2388
02:10:23,708 --> 02:10:25,625
She's taken the pentobarbital.
2389
02:10:25,708 --> 02:10:28,625
-Oh. Oh, God. Call the ambulance now!
-On it!
2390
02:10:28,708 --> 02:10:31,208
There might be a poison kit
in the prowler!
2391
02:10:38,750 --> 02:10:40,916
[labored breathing]
2392
02:10:42,708 --> 02:10:44,333
Forgive me, Father,
2393
02:10:45,541 --> 02:10:46,958
for all you have endured.
2394
02:10:48,625 --> 02:10:53,458
Forgive me, Lord, for...
for Wicks and Nat and...
2395
02:10:55,666 --> 02:10:56,875
Samson.
2396
02:10:57,500 --> 02:10:59,125
[sobs] My sweet Samson.
2397
02:11:00,208 --> 02:11:01,416
And Grace.
2398
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,083
-[huffs]
-[Jud] Martha.
2399
02:11:08,833 --> 02:11:10,041
Grace.
2400
02:11:12,625 --> 02:11:13,833
You're safe now.
2401
02:11:16,666 --> 02:11:17,875
Let it go.
2402
02:11:19,458 --> 02:11:21,083
Let the hatred go.
2403
02:11:26,458 --> 02:11:27,541
Grace.
2404
02:11:31,208 --> 02:11:32,333
Yes.
2405
02:11:33,208 --> 02:11:34,625
I see it now.
2406
02:11:36,541 --> 02:11:38,166
That poor girl.
2407
02:11:41,333 --> 02:11:43,166
