[sirens blaring]

[overlapping chatter]

At first, I thought
it was the toaster.

But then I noticed the paint was
burned on the wall near the oven.

Wiring. The whole place
needs circuit breakers.

Well, thank goodness for you, Jack.
At least you kept it confined.

- Show me the fuse box.
- Sure.

Jimmy... you wanna
come in here.

- What is it?
- I was checking the smoke detectors...

What's all this?

The question is,
"whose" is all this?

What's this doing
in the closet of a priest?

What are you doing back here?
This is private.

Father... [sighs]
is this stuff yours?

Would you please go?
Now?

Gary... I want an answer.
Do these belong to you?

- Fill up a box? Do it!
- What?

No, you can't these,
this is none of your business!

Absolutely
none of your business!

Do these shoes
belong to you?

Maybe.

- Maybe?
- All right.

Yes... they're mine.

My shoes.

[theme music playing]

- [door closes]
- These all belong to him?

He had enough to fill
ten baskets.

In Father Barrett's closet?
I don't believe it.

[sighs] Gorgeous!

I don't ask you in here
to browse,

I asked you for your opinion,
the man has a shoe fetish.

- Paraphilia.
- Sexual arousal from inanimate objects.

It's not as uncommon
as you think with shoes.

- Carmen Miranda! That is elegant.
- [gasps]

Is this man dangerous?

Uh, usually fetishists
stick to the object.

But, yes,
this kind of disorder

can progress into more
active impulses.

- Sometimes with people.
- Children?

May I speak with you?

Both you and Jill...

alone?

- Carter?
- I have questions.

- Please.
- [Carter] I'm not just a medical examiner.

- Please, just wait outside.
- I'm trained in sexual deviancy.

- I have the right to question--
- Please... fine.

- [door closes]
- What a joke!

These are mine,
you have no right to keep these.

Uh, look, Father...

why do you have these shoes?

That is not your concern.

Whatever I do in the privacy
of my home is my own business.

You have no right
to withhold my property.

[Jill] Father Barrett, um...

why did you ask me to stay?
This is police business.

Or is it medical?

Look, the fact is...

if this becomes public...
I'm ruined.

You know that.

So I ask you...

please?

Father, before you ask me
to cover-up something,

I have to know the...

the extent of what
I'm concealing.

Now, could we have an honest,
real conversation here

and then we can
go from there?

Can we just agree to that?

Yes.

What are you doing with
ladies' shoes in your closet?

They bring me pleasure.

A sexual pleasure?

Yes.

Look, I'm not a threat
to anyone.

I have never been anything
other than a model citizen.

A model priest.

I have never imposed
anything on anyone.

Okay, Father, uh...

What are you gonna do?

I don't know. Uh...

I'd like to discuss this
with Jill.

May I take my belongings
with me?

I guess so.

[door opens]

Thank you.

[door slams]

- What do we do?
- I don't know.

[sighs] If it's something he does
in the privacy of his own home,

what can we do?

I don't know,
he hasn't broken any law and, uh...

You know, we had no right to
take them in the first place.

It's his business.

His business?

[sighs] He works with children.

He has sex with a ski boot?

It's only women's shoes, Howard.

And as we said,

there's no evidence
that he has

ever exposed this
proclivity to anybody.

A priest, a shoe...

[teddy bear squeaks]

Damn!

- [scoffs] Damn!
- What's with the bear?

Uh, it's a calming device.
Just like the rocking horse.

For people with Alzheimer's--

When they get agitated,
sometimes--

Don't talk like
I'm not in the room.

I'm in the room!

All right, Howard, now listen,
we have to focus here!

We have an issue-- A lot of
children attend that church.

We have to think.

I'm calling
a press conference.

Not so fast!

As fast as possible.

The people of Rome
make up his parish.

As Jill says, they send their
children to that man.

If he's a pervert...

[shudders] I have a duty
to warn my constituency.

He's a paraphiliac, Howard,
he's not necessarily a pervert.

He must be a potential threat,
why else would you be here?

And I must be the mayor,
why else would I be here?

Something has to be done.

It's sick, Kenny.

There's a big difference
between being turned on

by women in shoes...
and just the shoes.

- What?
- Nothing, I...

you know I go crazy for you
in a lingerie, right?

So?

Well, sometimes when
you're not here, Rachel,

I... nut off them.

But sometimes,
I've just sort of,

gotten your lingerie
out of the drawer and...

It's not a habit,
I'm just saying...

clothing can make me excited...

sometimes.

There's nothing wrong
with that.

I mean, sexy underwear,
lingerie, perfume?

[inhales sharply]
It turns a lot of people on.

But a shoe?
Without the woman?

[Howard over television]

He's a pervert.

He fondles footwear
and fiddles with his unit.

This man
shouldn't be a priest.

The children of Rome,
ibe warned!

I've always admired
Gary Barrett.

But leaders
of the community here

have to adhere
to a standard--

That was his charge
when he attacked Rachel Harris.

Well, it seems Rachel's shoe
is now on the other foot.

And it's his!

[television turns off]

[sobs]

[overlapping chatter]

[sighs]

- John.
- Gary.

True?

Yes.

[exhales heavily]

[sighs]

We may have to
take your parish, Gary.

What?

You have the biggest church
in the area,

we don't wanna
lose our foothold over--

But I haven't done anything.

But you broke
your vows of celibacy.

Things are changing,
we have to take a harder line.

How many priests
are totally celibate, John?

I don't like this. [scoffs]

You're my friend, you know
I don't like this but...

We have
a public image problem.

With all these cases
of child molestation--

I haven't molested anyone!

- How can you say--
- I know that.

The mayor
has called you a pervert.

People won't be coming
to your church.

If I can keep
my parishioners...

can I keep my job?

Damn it, John, the Church has allowed
pedophiles to keep their cloth!

That's the reason
for the paranoia.

Because they failed to act
swiftly in those cases.

No, we're not talking about the
Church, we're talking about you.

But you can't single me out,
you can't do that!

Gary, do you know
what they're saying about you?

If I can keep my parish...

can I keep my job?

What do you mean you're sick?

In the head.

Excuse me.

I... on the news
and in the paper.

They say Father Barrett
is sick because of...

- Oh!
- He does something.

I've done it too.

Not with a shoe.

But sometimes I look at
magazines or videos or...

Sometimes I just imagine girls
in my head and...

then I... you know?

What?

Spank the monkey?

I beg your pardon.

All the kids do it,
we didn't know it was sick.

Well, Matthew, um...

Okay, it's not sick.

Masturbation is normal.

It's natural.

Joey Donatelli and Kevin Riley
say it's a sin.

- No, it's not a sin.
- So the Catholics are wrong?

Well... [scoffs]

Um, no religion
is right or wrong.

It's just that different
religions have different beliefs.

Mom, I need an answer.

Because if Joey Donatelli
is right...

I'm definitely going to hell.

- Talk to your father.
- But if I need medicine--

No, you don't need medicine.
You're not sick. [chuckles]

As a doctor,
I can promise you that.

Okay? But talk to your father.

[Kenny] What's wrong?

I keep thinking about
what you said last night

about the lingerie...

also how you like to see me in the
cheerleader uniform--

Sometimes the blond wig?

- What about it?
- [scoffs] This is silly but...

I suddenly feel like
an object now.

- Come on, Rachel.
- [chuckles]

I know, I know.

You know, once in a while,
I kind of blurt out that I love you...

I keep waiting for you to say it
back, you never do.

Well, I'm crazy about you,
you know that.

Uh-huh.

Do you-- I mean, I know
this is just speculation,

but do you think that
in time...

you would come to love me?

Rachel, what's going on here?

Look, I want to be
in a relationship,

where even if
it's a long shot,

there's at least
a possibility of...

of marriage.

I mean,
even if it's remote or...

Do you-- I mean, do you hold

to that possibility,
even a little?

Please don't lie to me.

I mean, if it's no, it's no.
That's fine.

Please don't protect me, Kenny.

Do you?

No.

Yeah.

Mmm-hmm.

I'm not surprised.
I just...

[sighs] But do you know what?

Please don't take this as anger
because I'm not angry, I'm not.

But...

I want to stop.

I love the sex,
the comfort...

but I want to stop now.

Okay?

- Rachel...
- Please.

Okay?

[softly] Okay.

I've always considered us
friends, Howard.

Even with your Alzheimer's you
remember my name twice a week.

It moves me.

I too am moved by you.

Most of the time,
it's in my bowels.

[chuckles] You're a character.

I'm a busy character
so state your business.

Gladly. Yesterday you had a
reaction to my client's hobby.

Which made you say some things--

Oh, you know, words like
"pervert", "deviant".

- These are not friendly words.
- Get to it.

You remind me of Judge Bone.

- [scoffs]
- Gary would like to hang on to his parish.

But it was made more difficult

by your little outburst
on public access.

What we would like for you to do
is to go back to public access,

retract what you said
and apologize.

And maybe throw in
that you admire Gary.

My brain
is not completely gone.

Howard, I'm not a pervert.

You play with ladies'
shoes in closets.

- You go camping with altar boys.
- How dare you?

- How dare you?
- Never mind all the daring.

'Cause here's
what's gonna happen.

Your little diatribe
is defamation of character.

We'll sue you personally
and take your house.

Since you are speaking as mayor,
I'll slap the town as well.

You want to hear me
do Judge Bone?

Get out.

I don't want
to hurt you, Howard.

But I want to hurt him.

You stand up and pontificate
about Rachel Harris...

holding yourself up
as a moral beacon--

Now it's your turn.

- This is not like you, Howard.
- Get out! Both of you!

[Matthew] Why is it a sin for
Joey Donatelli and not for me?

Well, I don't think the Catholic
Church considers it a sin.

They do.

They say you're only supposed
to let semen out to make babies.

- Nothing else!
- [scoffs]

I think the Catholic Church
would understand--

Uh-uh.

"Better to plant your seed in the
belly of a whore than on the ground."

Even during Earth Week,
I looked it up.

Maybe that's why Father
Barrett used the shoe...

so it wouldn't
hit the ground.

- Uh, talk to your mom.
- She said to talk to you.

[sighs] Okay.

I don't know about
all the religious stuff but...

Masturbation is natural.

All boys your age,
and men... do do it.

Look, that's about all.

Do you?

Well, actually...

No.

Not ever?

[chuckles] Never.

Douglas Wambaugh
for the priest.

I have here
an iex parte/i motion, Judge,

against Howard Buss
and the town of Rome.

We're seeking
an attachment of real property

as security for our judgment
once we win our lawsuit.

- What lawsuit?
- Defamation and libel.

Howard Buss
said on the airwaves

that Father Barrett is a pervert
and a threat to public safety.

without any factual basis other
than he has fun with ladies' shoes.

What is going on here?

I'm suing you
like I said I would.

- Check out the bear, Judge.
- Shut up.

Don't I have to be told
I'm being attacked in court?

- Shouldn't I be warned?
- [teddy bear squeaks]

You didn't warn Father Barrett

before you went
on public access!

He's a deviant.

He's jealous, Judge, on account
of my client being ambidextrous.

Shut up.

Howard, this is
an iex parte,/i motion.

You're not entitled to notice.

Now, why are you brandishing
a stuffed animal?

My doctors advise me to clutch
it when I become agitated.

I am agitated now.

Huh, I understand.

Well, here's the deal.

Your statements
about Father Barrett

do make out a prima facie
case for libel.

Did you hear what he does?

I've seen no evidence that
he's a threat to the public,

which is what you called him.

And the Church wants to take away
his parish because of what he said.

We want a public retraction!

- You won't get it.
- [Henry] Quiet!

Look, Howard,
the lawsuit is a valid one.

You could lose.

I'm granting
the real estate attachment--

Which means Father Barrett
now has a lien on your house.

- What?
- [teddy bear squeaks]

[Henry] You defamed him.

And, Wambaugh, your client
is a public figure on this.

Which means
you must show malice.

And Howard
is not a man of malice...

usually.

It's a tough case
for both of you.

So I want you to get in a room
and work this out.

- [overlapping chatter]
- That's reasonable, do it!

Now!

Father Barrett,
I'd like to see you in chambers, alone.

Are you all right?

What do you think?

It's the worst thing that's...

[sighs heavily]

I've never been so ashamed.

They're saying
you had over 100 pairs.

Where'd you get them?

I don't know, flea markets, catalogs...
home shopping network--

Does it matter?

What matters is
you're my friend.

I've known you for 25 years.

And I'd like to think, well...

that I know you.

Uh, this is very unsettling.

Henry, I don't know
what's in your closet.

It could be a Playboy magazine

or two or a video.

I have no idea.

And I wouldn't expect to know.

It's your closet.

I'm all for privacy, Gary.

And as a judge, I agree
yours has been violated.

But as your friend,

there's a difference between a Playboy
magazine and a pair of espadrilles.

You have a fetish.

It's a disease.

I'm not a sick pervert, Henry.

You may not be a pervert...

but you need help.

[woman] Go on in,
Mr. Wambaugh.

[Douglas] Where's your lawyer?

This is a settlement meeting.

I'm not settling,
I don't need a lawyer.

You heard what Judge Bone
said, you could lose!

I don't care.

You're a trustee of this town,
Howard, you better care.

If the town of Rome
is held liable for--

He's supposed to be a priest.

Priests don't do that.

- I won't settle.
- This is not like you, Howard.

Normally you're a very
compassionate man--

This isn't my Alzheimer's,
stop saying it's my Alzheimer's.

- Stop saying that!
- I didn't say that.

Maybe you think I did
on account of your Alzheimer's.

But I didn't say that.

Shut up!

Howard?

What is it?

For the past 30 years,
you've been coming to my church

and I've never once heard you
yell at anyone...

I've never seen you be unkind.

And in the past two days,
you've been very unkind.

You've been mean.

It's getting worse.

I'm becoming upset
all the time.

This disease, it only goes
in one direction.

- I'm so sorry.
- Don't tell me that you're sorry.

I'm sick of people saying
they're sorry.

Everybody's so damn sorry!

Why can't somebody
do something?

Why can't you go into court

and get a judge to give
me back what I've lost?

Why can't the doctors
tell me there's a cure?

Do you know the only thing
I have, Gary?

Prayer, faith in God.

That's my only chance.

Imagine how I feel today

to see that my vehicle to God,
my priest...

touches himself
holding women's shoes.

You're supposed to be my hope,
damn you.

Damn you!

[indistinct conversations]

- Rachel?
- [chuckles] Hi!

I just had some business
at City Hall.

A follow-up
on a zoning thing.

Uh-huh, well, okay.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

Well, I've got to go.
I'm running late.

Yeah. Me too.

Uh, I'll see you around.

Good.

Good.

...to masturbate
and avoid hell?

This is not a reason
to become Jewish.

Well, I don't think I'd go
to Protestant hell--

But they're always
changing the rules.

And since there is
no Jewish hell,

I want to be safe.

Listen, Matthew, I...

I'm not an authority
on Christianity...

And this idea
of complete celibacy?

This did not come from Jesus.

All his disciples
were married.

The tradition of celibacy
for priests

did not come
until a 1,000 years later.

Well, there's got to be
a reason for the rule.

50 million Catholics
can't be wrong.

[scoffs] People will tell you
all kinds of things.

I remember my grandmother
told me

that if I looked
at naked women...

I'd turn into stone.

When I was 10 years old...

I saw these pictures
of a young lady.

She was nude.

Sure enough, uh...

I could feel it
starting to happen.

I threw down the pictures.

And it was over a year before
I knew that it was natural...

and confined to one area.

The thing
to keep in mind is...

if everybody who does
what you described is damned--

Well, hell may be
a big place...

but it's not that big.

I'm sure it'll just be another
minute or two. [clears throat]

Oh, that's... that's okay.

Do you think of me as sick?

What?

Um... no.

Do you think Howard Buss
should apologize?

[chuckles] Well,
what's the difference anyway?

People are gonna think
what they wanna think...

no matter what he does.

Well...

if you wanna
keep your church...

I don't think the people need
to hear from Howard Buss...

they need to hear from you.

My relationship with Rachel
wasn't healthy.

Wigs, cheerleader costumes,
it was fantasy.

Nothing wrong with fantasy.

Trust me...

some of my best partners
have been in my head.

Yeah? Me included?

You were okay.

- Tell me.
- [chuckles]

- Forget it.
- Come on!

We admitted that we both,
you know...

What's with a few details?

Well, tell me
about yours then.

I asked you first.

- You really wanna hear this?
- Friday night.

It's either you
or Barbara Walters.

Okay, why not?

We're at the station.
We're always at work.

It's late...
and we're totally alone.

We start to talk about
what it would be like.

We're kind of curious.

And then we both say
that we can't act on any urges

because we work together and it could
affect our professional relationship.

Wait a second...
this is a conversation.

- You're fantasizing over a conversation?
- Forget it!

[grunts]
No, I wanna hear.

I promise I'll shut up.

Go.

Like I said...

we could go through this whole
thing where we talk about it.

And we both agree
we can't act.

But we both want it.

We both wanna,
you know, just...

And I get up to leave.

And suddenly
you grab my hand...

my left hand.

And you spin me around...

and you tell me to undress.

[chuckles] I just sort of
laugh it off.

And I start to
walk away again...

But you won't
let go of my hand.

It hurts.

[softly] You're hurting me.

We're not saying anything.

Our faces are close together and we're
just staring at each other like this.

You're mad at me.

I can tell you 'cause
you have this look...

[inhales] but I don't
push you away.

Instead I try to
pull you in,

I try to pull you
right through me.

It's weird.

I just...
I take my hand

and I put it on the back
of your head and it like--

- Max.
- What?

You'd better stop.

Okay. [chuckles]

Okay.

[dogs barking]

[breathing heavily]

[heavy breathing continues]

[Max panting]

- [sighs heavily]
- [door opens]

Surprise!

- Oh!
- [door creaks]

[door slams]

I better go.

Go get them
and bring them back.

What's going on?

Father Barrett is evidently
planning a little sermon

on his shoe collection
at five o'clock mass.

[chuckles] What?

Kimberly gave him the idea.

People are lining up
to get seats.

the boys are out selling
t-shirts that Matthew made.

This one says...

"I get a boot
out of Catholicism."

I like this one. "Save soles
with Father Barrett."

- [Jimmy] Go get them.
- I'm going.

[knocking]

- Working Saturdays now?
- Always.

I sundown after three o'clock.

So I don't get to
put in full days.

So I make it up
on weekends!

- Nice horse.
- It has a purpose.

The doctors tell me, when I'm
upset, to hold a bear or...

do whatever
brings me comfort.

[sighs] I ride that horse
with my grandson at...

[inhales] Well, it helps.

You're not afraid
of what people might say?

A rocking horse
in the mayor's office?

People say it anyhow.

I'm an old kook
with Alzheimer's, so what?

If this helps me to function as your
mayor, then I'll do it.

What goes on behind closed
doors is my business.

I pity you couldn't extend the
same right to Father Barrett.

What he does is perverted.
It's kinky.

I heard about your little
breakdown yesterday.

My friend...

I'm afraid the inmate
is finally running the asylum.

I think you should step down.

Have you seen
our budget sheets?

I've cut utilities,
transportation expenses.

The volunteer snow removal
plan saved us $62,000.

[exhales] Mmm-hmm.
You were always a great accountant.

I'm gonna be the first mayor
in 40 years to lower taxes.

You run around
with a teddy bear...

and you wet your pants.

You went on public access

and exposed the town
to a lawsuit.

And from what I know
about Alzheimer's...

the stress of being mayor
could make it worse.

Jill's gonna put me
on estrogen.

I might grow breasts but
I'll do so with a clear head.

Step down, Howard.

I want to hang on
till the special election...

then I'll step down.

I can do it.

This is important
to me, Henry.

To be able to lead our town
and contribute.

I want this
to be my final legacy.

- [sirens blaring]
- [overlapping chatter]

[Max over megaphone]

Everybody, please, stand back.

Keep back.

There is no more room.

Please, go home and watch it
on public access.

Please, disperse.
Watch it on Channel 3.

- Full in there?
- Completely.

Father Barrett
is doing for religion

what Tonya Harding
did for the Olympics.

Now, you and Kenny
take the door.

I'll take this, please.
Thank you.

Make a couple of seats
in there for Jill and I.

[amplified]
All right, everybody, disperse, please.

Go back to your cars,
thank you very much.

[crowd chattering]

You can come to mass tomorrow.

Please, leave the area.

- Wow, huh?
- Yeah. Wow.

I guess he thinks this is the
best way to get back his parish.

Talk about a pressure sermon.

I tried calling her.
She won't take my calls.

I tried calling her too.

I'm so embarrassed.

About her seeing us
or about, you know...

I don't know.

Maybe both.

Yeah.

- [man] Excuse me.
- Stay back, please, sir. Please.

[sighs]

Look, Max, uh...
you and I...

it's crazy.

It'll just screw
things up at work.

I agree.

I agree,
we should know better.

We just got a little
carried away, that's all.

Mistakes will happen.

We learn.

Yep.

Yep.

[music playing]

[choir singing hymn]

[music stops]

[Gary clears throat]

I have a fetish.

It is a disorder for which
I need professional help.

I know that I have
disappointed many of you.

If your condemnation of me

is the result of my not being
totally celibate...

Well, I accept that. As a priest...
I should be celibate.

Period.

I will do penance.

And I will seek psychiatric
treatment to resolve...

my fetish.

I am human.

Like any human...
I am weak.

And in my weakness,
I turn to my faith...

I turn to the Father,
and now...

right now...

I must turn to you.

It's odd, really,
whether it be Judge Henry Bone

or Sheriff Jimmy Brock...

I have complained

that Rome has pushed
the notion of tolerance

to exaggerated extremes.

It's ironic that I should
be here today to appeal

to that very sense
of tolerance.

But that's what
it comes down to.

The spirit of the
Catholic Church and of God

calls for compassion...

and for never-ending
power of forgiveness.

If I've done my job
as your priest

you've embraced the premise
that we're all blessed

with an infinite capacity to

get better.

To become well again.

Okay, well...

there's a man at the back,
Bishop John Marsh...

and he's waiting
for your verdict...

as to whether
I still have a parish.

So we need to give him
some kind of indication.

If you still

trust me
to be your priest...

and to lead you
in your commitment to God

and to...
to each other...

to rise at this time.

If it is your wish
that I give up this parish...

He got a standing ovation?

I don't think they clapped.

But they all got up.

I know for sure is...

if you really need to know about
something very important...

don't go to a grown-up.

Especially in this town.

Well, if you can't go
to grown-ups, then who?

Big sisters?

Look, masturbation is normal.

Don't expect standing
ovations for it.

But it's okay.

Thank God we got her.
