Peter's not over there, is he?

Well, he never stays away
for long, does he?

Has Peter ever mentioned

where he goes when he runs away?

Alice, you don't think that
Joe could...

You'd love that, wouldn't you?

Bishop McNally,
he is the favourite.

He will be the next Archbishop
of Sydney and eventually Cardinal.

Your time will come.

You want me to become
the church psychiatrist?

There is one priest, initially.

If I have something to deal with,
Jack, then so do we all.

We're looking for
a 13-year-old boy.

Ask him where he is.

BOY: Peter!

There's a body in Manly Dam.

H-his body. Somebody did it to him.

I-I know who it was.

(THEME MUSIC)

Right, Miss, move along, please.
OK.

Alright, last one.
Let's go.

Hi, Tom.
Brother.

David.

They, ah, they think he went
swimming and got into trouble.

Is, ah, Joe here?

He's been in there all night.

Finton's in his room, David,
if you want.

Go on, mate.

Hello, Tom.
Father Andrassi.

I'll go and make her
a cup of tea.

Joe.

Oh, Joe, give me the bottle.

You don't need that.

Hey, you know something?
(SOFTLY) What?

Your...
What?

Your God is bullshit.

Bullshit!

You heard of Dinosaur Junior?

(MUSIC BEGINS PLAYING)

Shit about your brother.

SONG: # Seeing the doctor, are you?

♪ But I seen too much
to try you... ♪

(MUSIC STILL AUDIBLE IN BACKGROUND)

That's OK.
(INHALES TENSELY)

Stay.

He was on the swimming team
at school.

We have medals.

It doesn't make any sense.

(POIGNANT MUSIC)

Your Eminence, the boy from
Saint Venable's was found dead.

He was drowned.
How old was the boy?

13, Your Eminence.
How terribly sad.

There's been an incident
at Saint Venable's.

A student's drowned.

In the school grounds?
No.

Who's our black
and white there, John?

Marco Andrassi.

How's he going?
Will he be up to it?

Marco's a good priest.

He'll manage this.

(GROANS)

Some of you may know the sad news

that a member of our school
community, Peter Kelly, of 7W,

passed away at the weekend
in a tragic accident.

Peter was a bright
and thoughtful boy,

a talented cricketer and altar boy

and will be greatly missed by us
all.

Our thoughts and prayers go out
to his family,

and in particular,
to his brother, Finton,

who is a member of our
Year 12 student council.

Will you please join me
in a moment's silent prayer

for Peter Kelly
and the Kelly family.

Before we delve into

the mysteries of the passengers
of a C1-19 flying boxcar,

I thought we could spend
some time remembering Peter Kelly.

What a tragic loss.

Does anyone have
any memories they wish to share?

Rivers?
How did he drown, Brother?

Did he hit his head or...

I don't think we need
to discuss details.

But Peter Kelly was an ace swimmer.
It's too weird.

I said we wouldn't dwell on details.

It was an accident.
There's no use being morbid.

How do you know it was an accident?
I choose to ignore that, Mr Darcy.

Peter was your classmate
and a friend to many of you.

Does no-one have anything
that they want to say?

No?

OK, well, my memory of Peter was
during the fun run for the Bishop,

when he stayed behind
to help his classmate,

even though that meant
he'd come last.

That's the sort of
special boy Peter Kelly was.

Such a senseless waste.

Harrison, you've got something?

Does anyone want to swap this
ice pole? I don't like lime.

(BOY LAUGHS)

Maybe you'd like to go
to the headmaster.

No, Brother.
No? Open your books.

(SOFTLY) Like that?

It's so good!

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Elliot!

BOY: He's bleeding.
Come back!

Hello, Father.
Dr Allen.

Oh, you're Mr A.

I'll... I'll just call
Bishop McNally

and say that we know each other
and this is just not appropriate.

Is that necessary, Tom?
I mean, I know you.

I trust you're professional.

And frankly, I'd prefer if we could
get this over and done with today,

unless you have
a problem talking to me?

No, no, course not. Course not.

You sure, then?
OK, well, please come in.

Take a seat over there.
Thanks.

So these these fainting spells,

there's no apparent
neurological reason for them?

The doctor said it's a funny one.

Well, not for you, I bet.
How often do they occur?

Once every few months.

Have you noticed anything
that triggers them?

Well, they often come
just as I'm robing for mass.

Not always, but the last time was.
Well, the second last time.

The last time was
at Alice Kelly's house.

And do you remember
what you were thinking about

just before it happened?

I was thinking about Peter.

How scared he must've been,
out in that black water,

no-one around for miles.

I could feel it building up.

I can't do anything to stop it.

Well, it sounds quite terrifying.

(SNIFFS)
Well, you don't complain.

OK, so just go back a bit.

You just said, "There's nothing
I can do to stop it."

Do you feel like you
should be able to control it?

When I'm at the altar,
I am in persona Christi.

Do you know what that means?

I am Christ.

So for a section of the congregation,

when they see their priest
drop to the floor like that,

it's like Christ falling from heaven.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Of course I want to control it.

But my life,
it's not my life to control.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Did you know that
Peter was frightened of his father?

I had an abusive parent.

I know that fear.

We talked about it a lot,
Peter and I.

The sense of hopelessness he felt.

Oh, that poor, poor boy.

Sorry.

I want you to know that when
you're feeling small and alone,

I'm here to protect you.

You understand that?

Right now, I can see your spirit
is wounded.

The Holy Spirit's trying to heal you

but the pain is too great
for you to let him in.

Let him in through me, Elliot.

Let the Holy Spirit
take these feelings of fear.

Let them flow away.

(BOYS YELL)

Hurry up, boys!
Off your cocks and into your socks!

I had to get out of there, hey.

Dad's pissed.
Mum's fully lost it.

Oi, Fin, mate?

You don't have to run out, you know.
No, I'm good, mate.

Feel like decking someone.
Right on.

(BOYS YELL IN BACKGROUND)

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

We're not equipped
to deal with this, Colin.

Father Joyce needs professional care
in a proper facility.

I'm not... I'm not deaf, you know.

You believe in the body as infirm as
well as triumphant, Bishop McNally?

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Suffering and pain are
a gift for life's journey,

as they were a part of our Lord's,
not to be tucked away.

I don't doubt your courage, Stan.

I just worry that your brother
priests are not the carers

for you at this time.

Do we have a session today,
Anthony?

OK, Anthony, what's wrong?
I did what you said.

You said, "Tell them,
they'll understand," so I do.

Now they're retiring me.

Sending me to the hospital
for bad priests.

You're not a bad priest.
I know that.

They're taking my collar.

What do I do now?

Who am I now?
Look, look, this is not right.

I'm going to speak to
Bishop McNally, OK?

No, you've done enough!

I should have just
gone to confession.

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

Thanks for meeting with me.

John, I've just had a visit from
Anthony Donoghue, and he says that

you're sending him to
a "hospital for bad priests"?

What?
What does that mean?

It's a retreat, Tom.
It's very pleasant.

Well, he thinks you're taking
his priesthood away from him.

I couldn't do it
even if I wanted to.

Laicising a priest
is a very complicated matter.

Anthony knows that.

Look, all I know is that a patient
of mine has taken a big risk

coming clean with you
and now he feels like his therapy

is being used as a punishment.

I'm really not very comfortable
with that.

Father Donoghue was under our care.

We have to be able to make decisions
about his welfare and fitness

without censure or consultation.
Do you understand me?

Yeah, I'm starting to.

Can I tell you
something in confidence?

I'm in a fight for my life, Tom.

There are dark forces at work
in the church,

the like of which
you've got no idea.

Forces that would like
nothing better

than to take us back
to Mediaeval times,

extinguish the light of Vatican II.

I need men like you in my corner,

men who understand
what it is to be human,

with all our promise and frailties,

men who can help me bring
about real and lasting change.

Because I fear what the future
holds if I fail,

and another takes my place.

Bishop Quaid, might I introduce
you to Signor Massimo Drago?

May I kiss your ring, My Lord?

Mr Drago organises pilgrimages
to the Vatican.

I see.

He seeks an official blessing
for this venture.

You are Opus Dei yourself,
Signor Drago?

Yes, My Lord.
Count on my blessing.

Thank you, My Lord. My uncle
works for the Health Department.

Tell My Lord what his
duties include, Signor.

He quarantines public buildings
for infectious diseases.

He was telling me he had to close
down some public toilets recently

because of suspected tuberculosis.

Anywhere the drug users congregate,
you will find infectious disease.

Like the needle exchange?
Certainly.

For how long are these facilities
quarantined?

A day, a week, indefinitely.

Until the complaint is
full investigated, My Lord.

You know, it only
takes one phone call

for him and he can go in there.

Two phone calls,
it can be closed down permanently.

Tell your uncle
he's doing God's work.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

(BELL RINGS)

That's terrible!
What is that? No, what's it called?

No, no, no, no, that's shocking.

Bananarama?

Hey, Davo! Grab Finton too, will ya?

Dad? I'm thinking of Bernadette
for my confirmation name.

Fin, your Mum asked me
to pick you up.

Hop in the back, you two.

Seatbelt, Miss.
Yep.

Hey, you coming in
to see Mum, Mr Allen?

I wasn't planning to.
Could you, though?

Sure, mate.

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

Any history of bullying?

Not that he told me.

Did your son feel in any danger
before the accident?

It's not an accident, is it?

That's what the note says
and it makes sense.

Peter was a good swimmer.
He wouldn't just drown.

I'm only asking if he felt unsafe.

I noticed that Peter was
reported missing earlier this year.

I wondered if there
was a connection.

Peter ran away from home
three times this year.

The last time he broke into a car.

Police held him in a cell overnight.

So, he's had some involvement
in petty crime?

He was sleeping in the car.

Sure.

OK, then, leave this with me.

That's it?

Well, it's got my direct number
on it if you have any questions.

Someone is saying
my son was murdered.

Of course.

And I assure you, we have
various lines of enquiry.

Like what?

I mean, don't you have lists?

People that have just
gotten out of prison?

People that have done this sort
of thing before? Strangers...

Most cases don't involve strangers.

There was a call,

the night your son's body
was discovered,

hinting at this sort of thing.
What?

Now the caller was a child
who wouldn't leave his name.

So we're already looking
into this, Mrs Kelly.

And it's complicated.

But that doesn't mean
we won't take it seriously.

Alice, just...

Sergeant, do you mind if
we make a copy of that note?

You the boyfriend?

No, I'm a family friend.

Do you often see this sort of thing?
A note after a death?

Unfortunately,
we see lots of pranks.

Pranks?

There are no suspicious
circumstances to Peter's death.

Nothing at all that says murder.

99 times out of a 100 cases
that note'll be attention seeking.

What about the phone call?
99 out of 100.

Someone called them?

When were they going to tell
us about that? Who did that?

Well, despite that
detective's attitude,

the police really are the best
people to deal with this.

They're the professionals.

Peter wasn't scared
of anyone, was he?

I have no idea.

I have no idea what was
happening to my own son.

Alice, come on, you're a good Mum.

Except when I was fucking you!

When I was with you,
I didn't care about being a mother.

Peter didn't have a mother.

That is not the situation.
Wasn't it?

I took my eye off him,
too busy waxing my legs

and fucking you in a motel.

And to see he was scared,
scared for his life

and I wasn't there to listen.
I wasn't there to hear.

Alice, come on.

This is disgusting.

I'm a grieving mother. Fuck!
(GASPS)

And what about you, hey?
Sniffing around again. Fuck, Tom!

Haven't we hurt each other enough?

(KNOCK AT THE DOOR, DOOR OPENS)

Bishop Quaid, you have a visitor.

Send him in.

My Lord.

Hello, Mrs Morris.

Please.
Thank you.

Coffee, tea?
Oh, no, I've given up caffeine.

The bear pit makes me
jittery enough.

Thank you, Father.

Now, how can I be of assistance?

Well, I was... I was hoping you
might have a couple of minutes

just to talk about your comments
on the needle exchange program.

Well, that article was rife with
misquotes. I have apologised.

Mm. But many of my constituents
don't know that,

and they've been phoning
my office

and other members of my party's
offices, and head office,

demanding that we end the trial,

because it's sinful and because
it goes against the Pope's teachings

on drug addiction.

Now, whatever personal beliefs
we have, this is saving lives,

and it's a policy achievement
my government is proud of.

Do you want me to apologise again?

Ah, no.

However, I was chatting
with Bishop McNally

and he told me that you have
another speaking engagement planned.

I'm a guest of the fellows
of St. John's College.

Oh, yes, I went to St. Sophia,
many years ago.

So I guess what I'm really hoping
for is that you might consider

adopting a less um, a less vocal
stance on this public policy issue.

You attend mass at St. Benedict's
with Father Marcus, don't you?

I do, yes.

If Father Marcus were aware of
an open sin, would you expect him

to be less vocal about that?

Ah, I might hope
that he wouldn't let

a young person die unnecessarily
for the sake of doctrinal purity.

Well, the Church is not a smorgasbord
that one can pick and choose dishes

from, Mrs Wallace.

The Holy Father has spoken
on the evils of drug addiction.

I'm merely following his teachings,
as all good Catholics should.

I see. So you'll continue to be
misquoted on this issue.

I apologise if that
causes offence, Mrs Wallace.

Ah, you'll know if you offend me.
No, no, thank you for your time.

We're out of milk.

Don't wait up, yeah?

(DOOR BANGS SHUT)

(DANCE MUSIC)

Hey! The hell are you doing here?

What do you want, mate?

What do you want?
You leave my wife alone, alright?

Yeah, get the hell out of here.

(CAR ENGINE REVS)

You forgot the milk.

And do you know
where my goggles are?

Oh, and Mrs Kelly called when
you were at the service station.

You got lost, did you?

Morning, David.

Oh, God!

Vincent.

Eminence.

You saw Margaret Wallace last night.
Yes, why?

What in God's name
did you say to her?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Bishop McNally received a very
upsetting phone call this morning

from a representative
of the Premier's Office.

He was told a senior member
of our church

bullied the Member for Sydney.

That's ridiculous.
I did not bully her.

Then how would you explain it?
Oh, it was a misunderstanding,

but frankly, who cares?

Vincent.
No, I'm outraged, John.

How dare they threaten a Bishop?
Governments come and go.

We are eternal.

I don't know why we bother
talking to them.

That attitude may work
in the academy, Vince.

But this is the real world.
We have to...

Bow and scrape?

You've never had a parish.
You don't understand compromise.

But you do.
That's enough.

This diocese is engaged

in some very delicate negotiations
with the government at the moment.

I can't have them compromised,
even for a misunderstanding.

Good.

I told Mrs Wallace that
you'd have lunch for her today.

I'll go, Colin.
We have a working relationship.

No, no, no, no.

This is Bishop Quaid's
responsibility to mend this.

1:30.

As you wish, Your Eminence.

(BALLS BANGS)

I think it's time I issue
Signor Drago's blessing.

You still have his uncle's card?

Yes, of course. Leave it with me.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I'd like to ask a few questions
of some of the boys.

This note could be a hoax,
of course,

but I'm close to the Kelly family
and I have to tell you,

Peter's mother is beside herself.

I thought if I looked into it I
could at least put her mind off

the idea that
her son was murdered.

You know I'm a trained
psychiatrist, Brother,

so I'll know what to say
to the boys.

Absolutely not.
Brother?

As a trained psychiatrist,
I would have thought

you'd know how completely
inappropriate your request is.

I can't allow you
to question the boys

without their parents' permission.

Well, perhaps you would give me
some of the boys' home numbers

and I could talk to their parents.

Or you could leave
it to the police.

(BOY SINGS 'SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE')

Brother?

Brother Warner!
Can I have a word?

Watch it, dickhead.

Bishop Quaid, as I was saying, I
really am so glad you sought out

this opportunity to see some of
this work that we're doing here.

Unfortunately, I can't show
you the needle exchange because

the Health Department decided
to close it down for some reason.

Can you believe it? Anonymous tip.

But we'll have it open by
the end of the day. You know,

I think I figured something
out about you, Bishop Quaid.

You've never known a drug addict.

(SIGHS) Here we are.

G'day.
G'day, Margaret.

How are you, Bob?
Hanging in there.

Not too bad?
Might take some of that.

Thank you kindly. Pasta today, eh?

That's the one.
Looking good.

This is my friend, Bishop Quaid.
Father.

Yes, they're prostitutes.

We try to get them back
into education,

or reunite them with their families
if we can.

The only real chance we
get to talk to them is, um,

is at the needle exchange.

Bishop Quaid, my party has had
a long relationship with the church.

But not all my Caucus colleagues
are Catholic,

and many of them
are uncomfortable with,

for example, the amount of money
we're about to pledge to the Church

for education, with little
or no public accountability...

I have absolutely nothing to do
with the Catholic Education Office.

No, that is just an example.
I only meant to say that, you know,

we can't assume

that this relationship
will always be as strong as it is.

Mrs Wallace, for over half a century
priests took an oath,

the 'Motu Proprio Sacrorum'
antistitum.

It's an anti-modernistic oath
to defend the church against

the modern world, the world in
many ways your party represents.

Then, in 1965, my Church
embraced your modern world

with the Second Vatican Council.

It was called the Guadium et Spes.

It was meant to bring in fresh air
and sunlight into the world,

but instead, it has brought
clouds and darkness,

as Pope Paul VI has said.

The tail of the serpent entered
my church, and it has never left.

Mm, yes, I remember
the Second Council, too.

A church of the world,
not above it.

A church of the people,
not those in power.

I felt I was living in
the luckiest of all times

to be Catholic.

Yes, I fear you were deceived.

This fallen world cannot
be God's plan.

Elliot.

Elliot, Elliot, Elliot.

Elliot! Oi! Elliot, come here.

Wait for me.

You wrote this note, didn't you?

No, Brother.
Stop mucking around.

I recognise your hand-writing.
What do you mean, Peter was killed?

This is really serious, Elliot.

If you know something,
you have to tell me.

Who hurt Peter?
He did.

I don't know what you mean.

Peter did.

Peter did what? Drowned himself?

But someone made him.

Bad as if they killed him.

Who made him, Elliot?
Who made him?

Who made him? Who made him?

I don't know where your bloody
goggles are, for God's sake.

Hey Joe. Ah, Jesus!

You fuckin' got her
to a PNC meeting,

gone late, and then she come home.
Joe.

Stinking, mate. Stinking of you.

(GROANS)

Is it any wonder that I've been
going out of my fuckin' brain?

Is it mate?

I can't fuckin' remember what...
what he looks like.

I can't even remember my son.
My son!

Come on, come inside.
My boy.

No, just fuckin' leave me alone.

(SHOUTS) Fuck off! Fuck off.

You stay away, mate!
You fuckin' stay away, OK?

Fuckin' dickhead.

(GASPS)

I was told I'd bullied you.
What?

Bishop McNally said
you thought I bullied you?

That wasn't my intention.

Well, that's a misunderstanding
with Bishop McNally,

because I never said that.

You didn't?
No.

I've known addicts before.

Both my parents were drunks.

They left me at the age of 12,
and I was homeless for a time.

In fact, if it wasn't
for the love of Christ,

I might well have followed this path.

Surely, you must sympathise.

Not for one moment.

Thank you for lunch.

(DOOR SLAMS)

And they must never forget

our brothers and sisters
taken from us by addicts.

John Zereb, 27.

Craig Perret, aged 31.

Excuse me, can I, can I? Excuse me.

John Miller, 32.

Sorry, can I get through? Sorry.
Excuse me.

Brad Leary, 26.

Where's the Bishop?

Keep your voice down.

He owes me.

The Bishop owes you what?

What do you think, ya dumb prick?

What the fuck are you? Get off me!

Is it money you're after?
Because I don't have any.

Is he down there?

You all think you're safe
down there, but you're not.

Easy to break in.
Go, or I'll call the police.

He's bad, you know.
That Bishop. McNally.

He's a liar.

Fucked me right up.

What are you talking about?

At Colleton.

You know what happened at Colleton.

No, I don't know.
You know.

You all know.
What did he do to you?

Tell me. I don't know.

Well, you wanna have a wank
about it.

Fuckin' priests!

(LAUGHS)

Eminence, I was just threatened by
a street prostitute in the cathedral.

The boy was clearly high on drugs,

but he said he'd made
an appointment to see you, John.

Something about Colleton?

Anyway,
I told him to come back tomorrow.

I shall let the local Police
Commander know when I see him.

Can't have Bishops threatened.

So, he comes into the church...

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(KNOCK AT THE DOOR)

Come in!

I spoke to Elliot Darcy, earlier.

He's saying Peter Kelly's death
wasn't an accident,

and he knows who's responsible.

Close the door, please.

Name of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.

Contraband.
Bless you, lad.

Might have to put my teeth back in.

What's this about a prostitute,
Vincent? What's got into you?

I don't fully know, Stan.
But it turned my stomach.

(PHONE RINGS)

Tom Allen.

Tom, it's Brother Warner from school.

I spoke to the boy
responsible for writing that note.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, there's ah,
nothing to it, I'm sorry.

He made the whole thing up.
Ah, attention seeking.

Peter's death was an accident.
Accident?

Would you like me
to telephone Alice Kelly?

No, I'll do it.

Thank you. Bye.
