(DOOR OPENING)

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

The priest says,
"Oh, thank God.

"I thought you said
you were a Protestant."

(ALL LAUGHING)

Great to see you all.

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

Good to see you again.

Okay. Next time.
Bye.

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

Hi.
There you are.

Thank you.
What'd I miss?

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

Where were you?

You're not the only one
who works weekends.

(SIGHS)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Send a bottle of champagne
over to the Donner table.

Make sure it's vintage.

How do you know Donner?

Well, I baptized his son
a few years ago.

That's fortuitous.

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

You are some
piece of work.

Learned from the best.

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

Three, 3.5.

Watch this.

HUMMEL: We missed you
at Vespers.

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

And mass this morning, too.

I've been a little
busy lately.

Brendan covered it for you.

I'll make it up to him.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello.

I'm on my way.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Hey. Morning.

Thank you, dear.

Your Eminence,
Your Grace. Henry.

Daniel, this is Jeffrey Altman
from Harrington and Rosenberg.

Nice to meet you.
Pleasure.

Thought I knew
everyone over there.

Jeff's a criminal lawyer.

Really?

One of our priests
was arrested last night.

Tom Andrews
from St. Dominic's.

FATHER CLEMENS: What happened?

He's being charged
with murder.

The victim's name
is Eric Halloran.

He worked at
a teen shelter where
Father Andrews counseled.

Rented a room from a woman
who ran the place,

a Lucy Gallagher.

Says she fell asleep
in the tub,

woke, and saw Andrews

kneeling over Halloran's body,
covered in blood.

His head was bashed in.

What does Father Andrews say?

He says he needs a priest.

To confess?

He specifically asked for you.

Me?

Did he say why?

The press'll have
a field day with this.

We need to be clear
on our position.

Which is?

We pray for the vindication
of Father Andrews

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

So if he's found guilty,

it won't appear
that our faith was misguided.

CLEMENS: Precisely.

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

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Daniel, you came.

You don't remember me, do you?

From where?

At seminary.
We had Merton together.

Your thesis was inspirational.

Will you excuse us,
Mr. Altman?

If I go, your conversation
isn't privileged.

Please.

Look, be careful
what you say.

You, too.

He wouldn't understand.

I was told
you needed a priest.

Would you like
to make a confession?

To murder?
Yes.

I didn't kill anybody.

Then why do you need a priest?

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

Like?

What I was doing
at the crime scene.

And what were you doing there?

I can't tell you either.

Why not?

Because I'm bound by
the seal of confession.

Did someone confess
the crime to you?

No. Something else.

Do you know who the killer is?

No, I don't.

Maybe.

Then how are you bound?

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

Thomas, you need
to tell the police.

I can't. You should know that.

Halloran's killer
is still out there.

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

If?

I didn't do this.

Are you gonna help me or not?

I'll see what I can do.

Is there anything
else you need?

Uh...

My...

My prayer book.
It's at the rectory.

Daniel, wait.

Will you pray for me?

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

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

How does that sound
with blood all over his pants?

Not won't. Can't.

It sounds like bullshit.
He took a vow.

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

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

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

You all are.

Another scandal hangs over
the Catholic Church today

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

Father Thomas Andrews
is the pastor

at downtown
St. Dominic's Church.

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

Thus far, church officials
have had no comment.

The trial date will be
determined later this week.

Do you believe him?

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

He seems stable,

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

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

For whom?

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

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

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

We all do things
we're not supposed to.

It's not quite
what I expected.

Why does Father Andrews
think he's bound?

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

Well, whoever it was
said something

that brought Father Andrews
to the crime scene.

He wouldn't have
been there otherwise.

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

DANIEL: He won't.

Pious little twit.

Does he understand
the implications, to us?

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

At least not enough
to change his mind.

Well, then change it for him.

What about this?

Is there anything we can do?

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

even if Father Andrews
won't help himself.

How do we do that?

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

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

Do it.

I'll set up an interview.

Father Hummel should
take over speaking
with Father Andrews.

Why not you?

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

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

We need you here.

Hummel can deal with New York.

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

Your effectiveness

is precisely why I want you
supervising this.

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

Perfectly, Your Eminence.

Hi. Can I help you?

I'm Father Daniel Clemens.

I'm looking for
a Madeline Finney.
Yeah.

Hi, Madeline.

Thank you.

I have to say
you look fantastic.
Thanks.

So how long have
you been a Finney?

Six years.

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

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

So what are you
doing here, anyway?

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

Well, I live here.
Since when?

It's been a few years now.

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

I know. I...

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

What do you
want, Danny?

I thought we could
help each other.
How?

It's this priest,
Father Andrews.

I'd like you
to interview him.

And how does that
help you?

Well, he says
he's innocent.

We'd like the world
to know that.

Do you think
he's innocent?

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

This is very exciting.

But you want me
to put him on anyway.

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

Then get a publicist.

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

Listen, this is the biggest
news story in town.

I'd like you to handle it,
exclusively.

Just think about it.

It really is great
to see you.

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

one question
about his alibi,
it's over.

You understand?

You're standing
in the light.

Got it?

What happened?

I fell. Did you get my brief?

This is important.
You have to focus.

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

Now, he says you can
reveal the confessor

without revealing the contents
of the confession.

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

Just not from him.
How can you not understand?

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

Can I put this on you?

Okay. Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Father Andrews,
could you tell us
what happened

when you arrived
at Lucy Gallagher's house

on the night of
January the 29th?

I knocked.

The door was ajar,
so I went in.

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

There was blood everywhere.

Then I found the body.

And what did you do then?

I knelt down
and administered last rites.

And then you left?
Yes.

And did you call the police?

No.

Did you tell anybody?

No.
Why not?

How well did you know
Eric Halloran?

He worked at
the Angel Shelter.

I help out by giving
religious instruction there.

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

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

Yes.

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

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

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

He was doing good work
at the shelter.

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

So why did
you go to see him?

I can't answer that.

Was it because someone
told you something
during confession?

Yes.

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

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

Even though it means hindering
a murder investigation?

You have to understand.

That person wasn't
confessing to me.

He was confessing
to God through me.

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

They talk to God
in confidence.

And if they thought
that that wasn't true,

even in a case like this,

then they might stop going.

I...

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

About anything.

Father Andrews,
did you kill Eric Halloran?

No.

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

How did you find out
Halloran was a prostitute?

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

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

Maybe he was.
Maybe he molested him.

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

I'm not sure
Andrews did this.

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

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

maybe the church should
be trying to help him

rather than letting you
hang him out to dry.

Thanks for setting it up.
I owe you lunch.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello. Henry.

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

Trust me, they'll accept it.

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

doing penance.

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

I'll deal with that
when I get back.

Yeah? I asked Hummel
to take care of it.

Listen, I gotta go. Okay? Bye.

Yes?
Hi. I'm Father
Daniel Clemens.

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

Well, I suppose
you better come in.

Thank you.

Police have been
all over the place.

Took me hours to clean up.

Father's okay, though?

As well as can be expected.

(SCOFFS)

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

No mass said.
Confession either.

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

Fat chance of that.

Bills need paying.

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

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

But Father Andrews?

Thank you, Mrs. Donnelly.

Thank you.

"Dear Thomas, I can't tell you

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

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

"Warmest regards, James."

You read my mail?

Are you gay?

What business is that
of yours?

I know what Equality is.

I counsel there.
James is a friend.

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

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

Who else knows about this?

I haven't hidden
my involvement.

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

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

You go to his house,
you counsel at Equality.

This gives you a motive.

Because I might
be homosexual.
No.

Because you could
be a pedophile.

Were you having sex
with Eric Halloran?

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

(SCOFFS)

You've got a lot of nerve.

God understands your doubts.
He knows your weaknesses.

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

He wants you back, Daniel.

Do you want to
go to jail, Thomas?

No.

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

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

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

I'm praying for you, Daniel.

(CHATTERING SOFTLY)

Can we begin?

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

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

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

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

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

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

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

First reading is from
the reading of Luke,
Chapter 6:27.

Jesus said,
"Love your enemy..."

(WHISPERING) A little out
of your way, Padre?

(WHISPERING) I'm a friend
of Father Andrews.
Who?

He told me he used
to work with your group.

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

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

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

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

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

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

You might want to go.

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

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

"For sinners also love those
that love them."

Father Clemens.

(EXCLAIMS)

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

But the church
has spies everywhere.

How did you know
who I am?

We know everyone
at the archdiocese,
friend or foe.

Well, which am I?

You tell me.

Look, I think Father Andrews
is protecting someone
from something

that was said in confession.

Could be a member
of your group.

Yeah. Could be.
But Tom followed the rules.

He didn't say mass
or hear confession here.

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

Did you...
Did you know Eric well?

Oh, yeah. Everyone
around here knew Eric.

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

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

No, Eric was a lost cause.

Father Andrews
seemed to think
he was doing okay.

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

He'd do anything
to anyone at any time.

For instance?

Well, he was a whore.

Yeah. And he...

He loved married guys,
especially the ones
with money.

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

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

He was an evil
little shit.

Sorry, forgive my saying.

Was it possible that

he and Andrews may have been
having a relationship?

What, a sexual one?

(CHUCKLING) No. No. No.
Absolutely not.

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

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

What reporter?

That woman from Channel 5.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

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

You told me the way
you wanted things to be

and expected me
to play by your rules.

Because I didn't think
I could trust you.

You are one to talk.

What does that mean?
What are you talking about?

You left me, Danny,
for God.

Supposedly.

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

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

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

because you were
the wonderful one.

You were the one
with the calling.

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

(PHONE RINGING)

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

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

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

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

But for what?

To protect the church
and your job?

I thought you'd be out
healing lepers

or feeding the hungry
or something, but not this.

What happened to you?

I grew up.
Just like everybody else.

Exactly.

Work.

(SCOFFS)

(SIGHS)

What is it?

Father Andrews is dead.

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

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

CARDINAL LEDESMA: Because
he's General Counsel.
That's his job.

I'll schedule the press
conference for 8:00.

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

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

This is right.

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

Or have you added
telepathy to your list
of accomplishments?

Your Eminence,
with all due respect,

he refuses to break
the seal of confession,

and then decides
to hang himself
in a prison shower,

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

This case is closed.

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

in the best interest
of the church and yourself.

Is there anything else?

(REPORTERS CHATTERING)

WOMAN: Here he comes.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

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

"It is with deep regret

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

"Father Andrews maintained
his innocence throughout
this ordeal.

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

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

REPORTER 1:
Come on, Father...
Thank you.

REPORTER 2:
Does anyone know...

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

"The archdiocese
draws no conclusion"?

You know he
didn't kill himself.

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

How proud should I be now?

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

(CHOIR SINGING)

Good morning,
Bishop Sorano.
Morning, Daniel.

I heard about
your meeting last night.

Yeah. I was
pretty late.

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

Your Grace, I have a request.

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

At least until
a replacement pastor
can be found.

Parish work isn't exactly
your strong suit.

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

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

I feel it's
the least I can do.

Finding a new pastor
could take months.

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

I feel I can manage both.

I did give him my word.

Thank you.

Daniel.

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

I've cleaned his room
and packed his things.

I'd have put them
in the basement,

but someone's coming
for them later on.

You don't have a spare room?

No, roof leaks. It's not fit.

There's confessions
this evening between
6:00 and 7:00.

I'll look in on you tomorrow.

(SIGHS)

(DOORBELL RINGING)

I'm Marion.

Marion?
Thomas' mother.

Come in.

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

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

Thomas loved it like this.

Made him feel
closer to his people.

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

I guess he was ashamed.

The things they said
on television.

It was no better at home,
believe me.

He wrote to me, though.

About you.

About me? What did he say?

He said you were a good man.

That you were
looking out for him

and that he was
praying for you.

Did he ever say why?

Thomas would never do
anything like that.

He could've been
anything, you know.

Doctor, lawyer.
He was so smart.

But his whole life
was the church and his faith

and the people here.

How can they
say this about him?

That he killed himself

or that boy?

His whole life...

And now I...

I can't have his funeral
in a church

or bury him
in consecrated ground.

How can they
do this to us?

(SIGHING) Oh, God.

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

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

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

A year?

Well, I move around a lot.

(SCOFFS)

They don't hear confession
in those places?

Look, the shelter says
we gotta go to confession

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

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

Who's making you
go to confession?

Miss Gallagher.
She runs the place.

You gonna give me
confession or not?

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

Hello?

He actually left.

That's great.

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

I stole a banana
and ate the skin.

Hello, Henry.
Good to see you.

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

Some kind of stew,
I think.

Just like mom
used to make.
Yeah.

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

Daniel, it's a church.

Yeah.

If you don't mind my asking,

what exactly are
you doing here?

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

He's not here to know

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

You know, this is real work.

Bingo!

For Father Andrews, sure.

But you've got skills

and they could be put to
better use than this.

Let them close
the place for a while.

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

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

Tell me something.

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

Look, I don't believe
Andrews was guilty

and I know he didn't
commit suicide.

When I could help him,
I didn't.

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

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

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

all the better. Right?

Fair enough.

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

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

True. But how many?

(SIGHING)

Come by the house tomorrow,
have a real meal.

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

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

Are you gonna feel safe
out there in
this neighborhood?

I grew up
in worse neighborhoods
than this, sonny.

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

But you should
watch your back.

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

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

"I am the good shepherd.

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

I'm not much of a shepherd.

To be honest, I...

I haven't really tried.

But Father Andrews was.

He was a good man
who sacrificed his life

rather than violate
the principles he believed in.

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

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

Tom Andrews

did not kill Eric Halloran.

He also didn't kill himself.

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

I'm going to find out who did.

Let us pray.

(BEEPING)

We believe in one God,
the Father,

the Almighty, maker of heaven
and earth.

Of all that is seen
and unseen.

We believe in one Lord,
Jesus Christ,

the only son of God.

Eternally begotten
of the Father.

God from God,

light from light,
true God from true God.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Excuse me.

Is there a
Miss Gallagher here?

Through there.

Thank you.

Come on.
Hurry it up, you two.

Miss Gallagher?

Mrs.
Sorry.

You're the new pastor.

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

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

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

Let's go!

Did you know
Father Andrews well?

Of course. He worked
with the kids.

He heard confessions.

And Eric Halloran,
you were roommates,
right?

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

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

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

I told the police
everything I know.

Okay.

Have a nice day, then.

You know, there was
one other thing.

One of the kids came by
confession the other night

and said that you were
forcing them to go.

They wouldn't go otherwise.

I understand, but perhaps

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

rather than you
having to do that.

You have kids
of your own, Father?

No. Of course not.

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

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

I've been doing this
for 20 years

while you have been
up at St. James

having your lunches
and playing golf
in the afternoon,

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

and think you can
straighten things out

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

This is what I do.

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

if you would keep
your opinions to yourself.

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

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

I'm a little busy.

(FOOTSTEPS)

Can I call you back?

Hello?

(RATTLING)

CLEMENS: Come on out.

What are you doing back there?

We're just trying
to get some sleep.

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

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

We just needed
a place to crash, all right?

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

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

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

What's so wrong
with Mrs. Gallagher?

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

and then she punishes us bad.

It doesn't matter. Look,
she won't even let us
back in after 10:00.

Can we just stay tonight?

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

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

We'll call Mrs. Gallagher
in the morning.

You can sleep in here.

What did he mean?

When he said Mrs. Gallagher
punishes you?

(WHIRRING)

Mrs. Donnelly.

Mrs. Donnelly!

(WHIRRING STOPS)

Where are the kids?
Pardon?

Cameron and Monica.
Have you seen them?

There are no
kids here, Father.

Your breakfast's
on the table though.

(WHIRRING RESUMES)

21st century.

It's Daniel.

Can we meet?

MADDY: The federal
investigation into civil
corruption continues today.

Mayor Martin announced that,

if found guilty of any
wrongdoing, he will resign.

I'm Madeline Finney for WPPI.

Got it?

Hey.

Hi.
What's the latest scandal?

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

What's on your mind?

You owe me lunch.

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

Actually I owe
you an apology.
What for?

(SIGHS)

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

For using you
to do the interview
with Father Andrews

instead of just
asking for your help.

And to say
that you were right.

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

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

News travels fast.
When you're a reporter.

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

I stopped by the shelter
where he used to counsel.

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

What did she say
about Halloran?
Not much.

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

The kids are scared
to death of her.

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

Yeah.

Here she comes.

Talk about suspicious.

Woman goes to church
for no reason at all.

Coming or not?

CLEMENS: Mrs. Gallagher.

Did you wish to make
a confession?

No.

Did you lose
something then?
Yes.

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

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

MRS. GALLAGHER:
And what did they tell you?

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

They're kids. They lie.

You really think
they're better off
on your floor

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

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

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

Last week. Father Andrews.

MADDY: Daniel.

You're taping
their confessions?

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

Excuse me.

The tape.

This isn't over.

Not by a long shot!

Do you believe that?
Give me.

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

You can't listen to it.

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

I'm gonna go lock up.

I always wondered
what went on back here.

It all seemed
so mysterious.

It still does.

Do you wanna
grab a bite to eat?

I can't.

I'll just take you home.

Thank you, Father.
Thank you, Father.

You missed the show.

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

Business, Dan.

There's been a complaint.

I wanted to tell you myself.

LEDESMA: Yes.

Father, you know
Mrs. Gallagher?

Yes.

Yes.

Mrs. Gallagher says
you've been harassing her.

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

He let two of
my kids sleep over.

On the floor.
They seemed terrified.

I was worried about them,
so I followed her.

There, you see?
And with a woman.

Some news reporter.
Maddy something.

Is this true, Daniel?

Yes.

I'm very, very sorry.

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

Thank you, Mrs. Gallagher.

Are you completely
out of your mind?

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

She was what?
LEDESMA: Did you listen to it?

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

What is our concern
is your apparent inability

to follow my
simplest instructions.

Eric Halloran's
case is closed.

Father Andrews'
suicide is settled.

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

Have you ever been
to Equality, Daniel?

Yes.

But you're aware
of our position on that?

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

And this woman, the reporter.

What is the nature
of your relationship?

She's an old friend.

What's happening here?

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

First-class to New York.

You have a meeting
with our bankers
tomorrow morning.

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

Who will look
after St. Dominic's?

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

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

A car will take you
to the airport.

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

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

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

because your talent
for fundraising

offsets your shortcomings
as a priest.

But understand this,

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

Now, your car is waiting.

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

So save yourself.
Just get on the plane.

No.
LEDESMA: So be it!

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

You will neither say mass
nor hear confessions.

And it will be determined
in due course

whether or not
you are still suited
for the priesthood.

Yes, Your Eminence.

I'll see to it.

Father Clemens,
a moment?

The Cadillac?

You don't waste
any time, do you?

And your credit cards.

Just the business ones,
of course.

Aren't we
forgetting something?

Feel free to wear it.

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

Say, by the end of the week?

I'll be gone by the morning.

(SIGHS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

All right. Hold on.
I'm coming!

Who is it?
It's Cameron.

Cameron?

Is she here?
Who?

Monica. Is she here?

Take it easy.
Monica!

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

Where is she? Where is she?

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

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

They haven't come back.

(GROANING) All right.

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

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

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

Gallagher's got her.

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

Cameron! Cameron!

Ratted her out
for what? Cameron!

Why don't we just
go to the police?

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

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

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

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

You hope.

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

Okay.

MADDY: Mrs. Gallagher?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Mrs. Gallagher?

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

Okay.

MADDY: Daniel!

God, whose property it is
ever to have mercy

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

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

Look upon her with pity
and let her be conducted

by the holy angels
to paradise, her true country.

Grant that she
who believed in thee

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

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

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

It's okay.

Daniel!

Monica.

It's okay.

Monica, it's Father Clemens.

It's okay.

It's all right. It's okay.

It's all right.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Was it an overdose?
Looks like it.

She had tracks up
and down her arms.

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

We were looking
for Monica.
Why?

One of her friends
came by the rectory

and said that Mrs. Gallagher
had taken her.

He was very concerned.

About what?

We think Gallagher
may have killed Eric.

Where can I reach you, Father?

I might want to ask you
some more questions later.

Actually,
I'm not really sure.

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

Well, at least
for a few days.

MADDY: When do you think
they'll take you back?

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

Of course, you'll go back.

I'm not so sure, Maddy.

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

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

Instead I solicit money.

I don't think
I wanna do that anymore.

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

This Monica girl.

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

They won't let me.

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

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

Maddy.

I'm sorry.

You said that already.

Maddy?

Maddy?

Maddy?

I'm sorry.

(GRUNTS)

Father Clemens!

Mind coming for a little ride?

(CLEARING THROAT)

Do I need to have
a lawyer here?

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

No. I don't think so.

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

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

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

I thought she might be there
against her will.

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

I don't know. I think so.

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

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

You know a street kid
named Cameron?

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

Did you buy
any heroin off him?

Of course not.
That's ridiculous.

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

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

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

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

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

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

You think I killed her?
Maybe.

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

You been looking
into the Father Andrews
murder, right?

Murder? Police said
it was a suicide.

I'm a skeptic. Humor me.

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

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

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

We're good.

Thank you for
your time, Father.

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

The police think
Mrs. Gallagher was murdered.

By who?

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

(TIRES SQUEALING)

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

FATHER McCARAN: Bless me,
Father, for I have sinned.

It's been one week since
my last confession.

There's this man...

That's enough, Daniel.

Stop the tape.

Please.

His name's Eric.

Henry, why?

It was an accident.

He threatened to tell my wife.

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

So I went to see him.

We fought.

He fell.

He betrayed me,
Daniel, for money.

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

Because I didn't need to chat.

I needed to confess.

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

He really, truly believed.

And then you started
poking into things.

I asked you to stop.

Henry, what do you
need from me?

(SIGHS)

Absolution.

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

I've killed three people
since my last confession.

Run!

if it wasn't for you.

Police! Don't move!

Put the gun down!

They'll probably
make Andrews a saint.

Put it down!
Henry!

(CHURCH BELLS TOLLING)

Let us pray.

ALL: Our Father who
art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

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